No one was greeted at the port, and even under Arthur's sudden order, the port entered a one-day alert period, and no unrelated personnel were allowed to approach.

Although people did not know what was happening in the port, they were all very familiar and stayed away from the port.

After all, the alert period is only one day, and it does not affect their lives much.

Led by the frigate at the head, two huge transport ships slowly docked in the harbor.

In the harbor, thousands of large chests that have been prepared in advance will carry all these treasures into them, and transport them to a safe place to be counted in an unobtrusive appearance.

It took more than four hours just to pack all the treasures into the box.

In order to transport these treasures, Arthur used hundreds of wagons and more than 1,000 guards to escort them.

Eventually, all of this treasure was temporarily transferred to Arthur's manor, where there was a specially prepared underground warehouse, which was large enough to hold the treasure and secure enough.

Although the people were very curious to see the vast procession of carriages heading to Arthur's manor, none of them planned to take a look.

The mere presence of the guards with real guns and ammunition around them was enough to discourage people, not to mention that they were still heading to a heavily guarded manor?

At the manor, Barty Crouch also met Arthur again. At this time, Arthur smiled, patted Barty Crouch's shoulder with satisfaction, and said with a smile: "Barty, this mission has been completed very well, and these treasures are enough to support the next plan of the royal family and Australia." ”

Although it is not clear how much value this treasure holds, it is perfectly fine to support Australia's industrial development plan for two or three years.

"It's all your information, Your Highness, if you hadn't told me that such a temple has a lot of wealth, I'm afraid no one would have the idea of that temple." Barty Crouch shook his head and shirked.

That's the power of intelligence. If it weren't for the fact that there was a huge treasure inside the temple, even if thousands of people were dispatched for this operation, I am afraid that it would not have been able to gain anything in India.

"Hahaha, having said that, your training of these intelligence officers and the command of the operation will not be so successful this time. You can rest assured, although for various reasons, this operation cannot be disclosed to the public. Then you and everyone will be rewarded, and I will definitely not disadvantage any of Australia's heroes. Arthur patted Barty Crouch on the shoulder again and said in an undeniable tone.

Hearing Arthur say this, Barty Crouch could only nod.

"Alright, take your men and rest for a few days! There are more important tasks to be entrusted to you in the future, and the Royal Security Intelligence Service will be one of my most important forces. Looking at Barty Crouch's puffy eyes, Arthur knew that Barty Crouch had definitely not slept well in this operation.

But it's normal to think about it, after all, this is the first operation of the Royal Security Intelligence Service, which Arthur has high hopes for, whether it is the theft of treasure in the early stage or the subsequent delivery work, it needs to be very cautious.

As the commander-in-chief of the operation and the head of the Royal Security Intelligence Service, it was strange that Barty Crouch was able to sleep peacefully during this operation.

"Yes, Your Highness!" Barty Crouch did not refuse, many days of sleep deprivation had made Barty Crouch very tired, and what he and the current intelligence officers needed was proper rest.

After all the treasures were transported to the manor's underground warehouse, the inventory was handed over to the Guards soldiers and the manor's servants.

Because of the attraction of this treasure, everyone participating in the inventory must have at least five other people they don't know around.

If it is a soldier of the Guard, then it must be surrounded by other soldiers of different formations who do not know each other.

Because there are strangers around, it is a good way to prevent the treasure from being hidden or even taken away without permission.

Of course, before and after the count, everyone will also go through a more rigorous search to ensure that no treasure is taken out and hidden.

It takes more time to count the treasure than it takes to deliver it.

Although hundreds of people, including Guards soldiers and servants, were mobilized, the count took more than six hours.

It was busy from the afternoon until the evening that the specific treasure figures were counted and recorded in detail.

How vast is the treasure of the entire temple? The total weight of gold and silver treasures is more than sixty tons, and the weight of gold coins and gold ornaments alone is more than thirty tons, as well as a large number of precious stones and treasures.

Of all the treasures, silver was the fewest and weighed less than ten tons. This is because of all the considerations, some worthless silver products are all abandoned.

If you count the large quantities of silver, the total weight of the treasure will be at least eighty tons, which will be more difficult for transportation.

One of the most striking is a slightly larger golden Buddha statue, which looks life-size, but the actual weight is much larger, and it is the most troublesome to carry.

It weighs even more than the golden elephant, and is the most attractive of all treasures.

Truth be told, Arthur didn't actually know much about the temple's treasures, just some articles reported in the media.

But most of these articles have been rendered, and even the specific numbers on each article do not match.

The only thing that is certain is that the treasures inside the temple are worth tens of billions of dollars in later generations.

Although more than a hundred years ago, the price of many things would have decreased to a certain extent due to the decrease in vintage, but such a huge treasure was definitely worth a lot, and it definitely met Arthur's inner expectations.

Arthur quickly ordered the gold coins and ornaments to be melted down and made into gold bars for future issuance of new currency.

It would be a waste for such a huge amount of gold to remain in the warehouse, and Arthur didn't need these things to act as his own platoon, not to mention that the origin of these things was not clear.

The 30-odd tonnes of gold would be a huge addition to the issuance of the new currency, as well as adding to the Australian government's current few gold reserves.

Of course, this gold belonged to Arthur and the royal family, and even if it was issued as a new currency in the future, its ownership remained that of the royal bank.

Arthur was slightly surprised to see the estimate of the value of the treasure on the inventory that had been counted.

The value of this treasure is not to mention supporting Australia's industrial development for one or two years, even if it supports three or five years of development, what's the problem?

Happy New Year to all!
