Chapter 124: Colonial Plunder
China's post-70s and post-80s generations have heard of the word fog capital when they were in junior high school and high school, and in the world this word refers to a city, that is, London, England.
Britain was one of the first countries to participate in the First and Second Industrial Revolutions until the sixties, when the skies over London in the United Kingdom were smoky and confused, even though the visibility was less than ten meters during the day;
It wasn't until ten years later that Chinese geography textbooks still wrote that London was known as the foggy capital, and only those who had been to London knew that London was not as serious as the textbooks and teachers said.
On the contrary, the parks in the city of London are dotted with green grass and lush forests, and the whole of London is a large park with an area of nearly 100 square kilometers and 100 kilometers.
Of course! This is only possible on a sunny day, and due to London's location and seaside climate, the city is subject to erratic fog throughout the year, often accompanied by light rain.
Even on a sunny day in London, you can see pedestrians on the streets with an umbrella in their hands, something you won't see in other cities around the world.
There is still a month before the start of the university, and it just so happens that Liu Shisan's grounding time has also arrived, and in the past two years, the dragon group has not been less than finding something for him to do.
Afraid that Liu Shisan would come to Leng, in addition to Julie and Xiahou Yaran, who needed to go to school, Shangguan Ming and Murong Xue, and even Zhao Yaling and Tang Yani were transferred to Yanshan to play for a few days from time to time.
Murong Xue had made a robbery plan two years ago, and since they were grounded by the old group of the dragon leader, this plan was only executed once in Moscow, and then it was placed for two years.
There was still a month before the start of school, and Liu Shisan had planned to take everyone out to have fun, but Murong Xue came up with the plan she had made two years ago.
So this time everyone came to London, England, as the second country after the Netherlands to carry out large-scale military aggression against China in the Eastern world.
The first country to carry out large-scale military aggression against China was Japan, and since it also belonged to the Eastern world, the Netherlands, which invaded Taiwan at the end of the Ming Dynasty, became the first.
The time of the large-scale British invasion of China in the Eastern world is well known to have been in 1840, in fact, a thousand years before that, the Western world and the Eastern world had already begun to fight.
It's just that this kind of struggle is limited to a higher-level battle, that is, a battle between the Western Holy See and the Eastern Cultivation Realm, and before that, they didn't know about the existence of the other party.
The previous enemy of the Western Holy See was the dark racial forces of the West, and the two have been fighting in the Western world for thousands of years, and only the top level knows about it, and thousands of years are just a flick of a finger.
The enemies before the Eastern Cultivation Realm were the earliest remnants of the Wu Clan in the Eastern World, as well as the Demon Gates that appeared from time to time, as well as shamans in the north, lamas in the southwest, and ghost cultivators and demon cultivators.
Almost at the same time, when the Western Holy See smashed the forces of the Western Dark Race into the underground, the six major sects, the six major families and the scattered cultivation lineage of the Eastern Cultivation Realm worked together to sweep away the rest of the sects.
In less than a hundred years, the Western world, dominated by the Western Holy See, and the Eastern world, dominated by the Eastern Cultivation Realm, launched a competition that lasted for hundreds of years.
There was a whole month to pass the time, and Liu Shisan and the others were unhurried, and they went through the whole of Britain, and by the way, they explored the situation of the Western Holy See in the British branch.
The strength of the British Holy See is second only to the Roman Curia, the stronghold of the Western Holy See, and the strength of the British Holy See far exceeds that of the French Holy See, and even more than the Russian Holy See.
This is because the history of the English Holy See, although not as long as the Italian Holy See, far exceeds that of Russia, which is a vast territory with a history of less than two or three hundred years;
Not only is the Russian Holy See newly established by the Holy See two hundred years ago, but even the four major vampire families entrenched in Russia have also moved from Western Europe one after another within a thousand years.
Although the area of Britain is not as vast as that of Russia, there are five vampire families in this land, plus four in Russia and one in France, there are ten of the thirteen families.
The history of the Holy See in England is much higher than the Nativity of Jesus is known to the world, and the history of the Holy See in Italy is thousands of years older than the Nativity is unknown.
Tang Yani had already analyzed their actions in Russia after returning, and thought that Liu 13 was too reckless to go to the Kremlin at that time.
In the original plan, there was no Kremlin at all, and it was originally withdrawn immediately after the two sides succeeded, but it turned out to be a big battle between the two sides, and he and others were grounded for half a year.
This time, it was still a group of three, divided into three groups, and then the five vampire families in Britain and the British Holy See were found out.
All this information actually didn't need them to investigate, the Sichuan Shushan Sword Sect Elder who was sitting in the Chinese Embassy in the United Kingdom, he had everything Liu Shisan needed.
Although he is an elder of the Shushan Sword Sect, he is now an expatriate of the Dragon Group, and he is only one of the high-ranking members of the Dragon Group, not a member of the Elder Group.
And Liu 13 is not only an elder of the first line of scattered cultivation, because of the rarity of the elders of the first line of loose cultivation, and Liu 13's strength is not lower than that of the general elders of other sect families, so he is also a member of the elder group of the dragon leader.
In other words, Liu 13 is still the boss of this neutron, and when he was in France and Russia, Liu 13 always felt that although what he did was reasonable, it was really not suitable for publicity.
I didn't tell the cultivators in the French Consulate and the Russian Consulate that when he was in Russia, Li Shanyuan could appear, and Zhao Yaling temporarily moved to save the scene.
Dimityev invited Li Shanyuan to be present, if it was not for Zhao Yaling's words, it is estimated that it would be his apprentice who was present, after all, his duty is to guard the embassy.
Zhao Yaling, Murong Xue and Shangguan Ming were in charge of investigating the strength of the British Holy See in London, and Sky Wolf, Xiahou Yanran and Zhang Li went to investigate the situation of the British dark race forces, that is, the five major vampire families.
It is said that it is an investigation, but in fact, it is to take the information given by the neutron, and then check whether there are any discrepancies, and then agree on how to enter the British Museum.
Liu 13 took Tang Yani and Julie to observe the British Home Office's MI7, MI6 is an intelligence agency, and the 7th is a special affairs processing department.
The British MI7 is the same as the six departments of the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Dragon Group of the Chinese National Security Bureau, especially the strength of the British MI7 is not as brittle as the special departments of the French government.
The British royal family has a history of 1,000 years, although it is not as long as the Japanese royal family, but a thousand years is enough time for the British royal family to gather a large number of its own high-ranking papal personnel and dark race personnel.
Three-three grouping, no matter which group there is a Yuan infant master to lead the team, so as to maximize the safety of each team at the same time, the combination of long-range attack and close combat, so that the combat effectiveness is not only balanced and strong.
The British Museum is a transliteration, and it is the National Museum of the United Kingdom, also known as the British Museum, located in Great Russell Square, north of New Oxford Street, London, England;
Officially opened to the public in 1759, it is the oldest and grandest comprehensive museum in the world, and one of the largest and most famous museums in the world.
The museum has a large collection of cultural relics and treasures from all over the world, and the collection is only rich and varied, which is rare in museums all over the world.
The National Museum of the United Kingdom has a collection of more than 6 million pieces, and due to space constraints, less than 1% of them have been announced to the public, which shows that the number is quite large.
The collection was mainly looted during the wars between England and the 18th and 19th centuries, mainly in Greece, Egypt and China.
Due to Britain's expansion into the world and the cultural plundering of various countries for three centuries, a large number of precious cultural relics arrived in London, and the quantity was too large for even the British Museum to hold.
In addition to the British Museum, there are four large British Museum annexes in London, including the Egyptian Antiquities, the Greek and Roman Antiquities, and the Oriental Antiquities.
The Egyptian Museum of Antiquities is the largest exhibition hall among them, with more than 70,000 pieces of various cultural relics of ancient Egypt, representing the high civilization testimony of ancient Egypt.
This time the London execution, unlike the Danfeng Deaule Palace in Paris, France, and the Hermitage Museum in Russia, the first two times were directly inducted.
This time, while Liu 13 was investigating MI7 of the British Home Office, the three of them also bought tickets to conduct on-the-spot investigations of the British Museum and its affiliated Oriental Antiquities.
Liu 13 has been to the headquarters of the Yanshan Dragon Group three times, once to the capital to carry out tasks, twice to run to play by himself, he has been to the Palace Museum, to the Shaanxi History Museum.
Although the British Museum does not cover as much size as the Palace Museum, its collection is more than seven times that of the Palace Museum and nearly 80 times that of the Shaanxi History Museum.
These are all comparisons of the figures announced by the British Museum and the Palace Museum, and with Liu Shisan's current cultivation, it is not enough to count all the cultural relics in the British Museum in a short period of time.
However, it is more than enough for exploration and reconnaissance, and the construction of basements is the best choice for all the banks and museums in the world to store valuable objects, especially the larger ones.
The total number of cultural relics and treasures brought back by Liu 13 and others from France and Russia is less than 12 of the National Museum of the United Kingdom, far exceeding the 100,000 stored in the Danfeng Dew Palace in France.
According to the information given by the British Museum, there are more than 70,000 Chinese cultural relics in the Oriental Antiquities Museum, and nearly 1.5 million cultural relics in the Oriental Antiquities Museum and the British Museum.
The Egyptian Museum of Antiquities is the largest exhibition hall of the British Museum, and that is because the British Museum has the largest collection of cultural relics in Egypt, followed by China, and then Greece, Rome, India, etc.
If China has experienced a semi-colonial and semi-feudal society, Greece and Rome were once partially occupied by British colonizers, while Egypt and India have experienced a period of colonization that lasted for two or three hundred years.
It is not difficult to explain why the Egyptian antiquities in the British Museum are higher than those in China, although there are not a few Indian antiquities in the same four ancient civilizations, but in general there are still too few fine products.
