C3051 Chinese Treasury

The Chinese army barracks were under a huge pressure, with no end in sight. Even though it was just a garrison of two thousand men, but judging from the size of the base, there was still plenty of space to gather ten thousand soldiers!

However, in Blanqui's eyes, although this area was large, he did not dare to covet it. He simply did not dare to attack this place.

The Chinese were better and more domineering in their positions than the Prussian army. Facing the Shabelle Gate was a continuous barbed-wire fence. It was hard to imagine that the poor Chinese would spend so much money on the battlefield.

There were six lines of barbed wire, with heavy machine-gun bunkers with fortifications at the back, and the cold killing weapons in the night were glowing with a dark blue light. You could even see the cigarette butts of the guards as they smoked.

A row of tall wooden watchtowers almost as tall as the walls of Paris, and the whole scene of the battle could not escape the eyes of the Chinese.

The three parallel trenches were filled with hidden ammunition depot s, medical points, permanent cover, shooting pedals … The traffic trenches connected in all directions, allowing the soldiers to move quickly back and forth without appearing out of nowhere.

Although Blanqui did not see the artillery position in the distance, he was very clear that the density of the cannons in this rich and powerful Chinese territory was definitely much higher than that in Prussian army.

"How many lives will have to be taken to break through?" "With those six lines of barbed wire and the machine gun positions at the back, even tens of thousands of soldiers would find it hard to break through …"

After the inspection of the sentries, the carriage finally entered the heart of the camp. This was an endless tent area, and every tent had a small stove burning inside.

The snores of the soldiers rose and fell, and the patrolling guerrillas faced each other against the night's orders, torches and gas lamps illuminating the roads of the camp.

What surprised Blanqui wasn't only the defensive power and generous treatment of the soldiers, but he also saw countless open tents, which were all filled with treasures collected from Paris.

Statues, oil paintings, gold and silver vessels, ancient books … All the treasures were stored in different tents, and each tent was guarded by soldiers with guns.

Inside the brightly lit tent, there were busy commoners wearing cotton coats and fur coats. Some of them were jotting down accounts, while others were affixing seals filled with characters to antiques. Some of them were even opening wooden boxes to load up the registered and appraised games.

In the distance, there seemed to be a few trains parked outside the camp. These precious items had already been collected and were being loaded onto the train. It seemed that they would soon be transported away.

Blanqui's heart was bleeding. This was the work of art that the France had saved for thousands of years, to be lost overseas just like this was too painful.

"Your eyes are blind!" I told you to wrap it in nine layers of silk and add nine layers of cotton, how dare you put one less layer! " A sharp voice sounded out beside Blanqui's ears. He turned around and saw a thin Chinese man with bright eyes berating a few workers.

Of course he didn't know what this person was talking about, but Blanqui recognized the man standing in the depths of the tent. He was the leader of the Hua Clan, Xiao Letian.

The person who scolded was the esteemed guest that Xiao Letian personally received. The left side of the first court of the Liu-Li Factory was forced by the Chinese to come to Europe.

For this batch of people, their most important mission in Europe was to check out the lost national treasures in France. These people had sharp eyes, for once they saw something good, they would not be wrong.

"You heartless thing, the Führer gave you so much wages, but he didn't let you come here to roam around! Do you know what this is? "

"This is Kang Xi's jade ruyi! The treasure of the Yuan Ming Yuan! Do you know what a priceless treasure is? "Even if I were to sell you off, I wouldn't be able to afford it …"

"Ouch …" My ancestor, please be careful, that is the Twin Sheep Masters of the Shang Dynasty! "

"Heavenly Jewels!" Do you understand? This is the Heavenly Jewel that the Dalai Lama gave to the Qiandong! How did you end up with that broken coral necklace? Is that a category? Don't you have brains! "

People were tyrants in their own field!

Zuo Wuji felt that his entire life was worth it. To be able to see so many legendary treasures that he had never seen before and even had a chance to fight them, he felt that his life would not have been in vain.

Xiao Letian looked at these artifacts as he analyzed the state treasure that was being dropped in front of him. The long story of how he had lost his treasures transmitted all the way to his ears, making him sigh in his heart.

Everything he did made sense. Perhaps some people would think that he was a greedy bandit who would hide so many treasures in his personal treasure trove and keep them for himself.

But Xiao Letian was not afraid of this infamy, he knew that his actions in a thousand years would definitely garner the support of all the Chinese people!

"The Führer is in a good mood!" So late at night, looking at my spoils of war? " Blanqui spoke in a sour tone.

Xiao Letian raised his head and saw that the guest had arrived, he reached out his hand towards the tent and invited them in. "Mr. Blanqui, I have prepared some good coffee, fine wine and cigars, come and have a taste …"

The soldier lifted the curtain of the tent, causing Blanqui's heart to tremble as a sense of shame welled up within him. It turned out that the people inside the tent were all categorized into oil paintings, and they were all well-known works of the high society in Paris.

The person who was casually leaning on the wall was Manai's < < Crossflute Young man > >., who was pressed behind, was also very familiar with < Turkish Bathroom >.

Miller's "Tap-picking" Constable's "Hay Truck" Serico's "Medusa's Raft" Fragonard's "Swing"... The passed down Famous Painting s were laid within his tent, waiting for his unknown fate.

Blanqui closed his eyes and took a few deep breaths, suppressing his emotions, "Leader... "I admire your outstanding commanding art on the battlefield, as well as your concept of governing a country …"

"But what I admire more today is your... Greed! "

"Enough! Still not stopping? How many museums have you plundered from Paris? During this period of time, you have already plundered at least a hundred thousand pieces of art, are you still not satisfied? "

"What about the subtlety and humility of the Orientals? "Why can't I see anything from you? I can only see your greed!"

"Hahaha …" Xiao Letian laughed madly, "Greed? "Maybe it is. These treasures will eventually come together in my personal museum..."

"But do these things really belong to me? You are wrong, all the treasures in the world belong to the virtuous! I just want to give these treasures some protection in this chaotic world! "

"We can foresee that in the next hundred to two hundred years, mankind will be in an era of great change." We can foresee that in the next hundred to two hundred years, humanity will be in an era of great change.

"Forget about the distant things, just how many buildings were destroyed during the strategic bombing of Paris by the Prussian army? How many treasures were destroyed along with them?"

"A cannonball could turn a sculpture of the Ancient Rome into powder … "Rather than that, I might as well gather them together and put them under my protection!"

"So, this is not called greed, you are too narrow-minded!"
