Section 1447 The British Museum(2/2)

On the surface, EO is closed. Many former EO senior staff have established many similar enterprises in South Africa or other countries, including private military companies and security companies. They also have a common leader, still EO.

Since the 1990s, eo's business has been booming. In 1994, it dispatched a small, rapidly deployed mercenary force with good air protection and armor to quell the crisis in Rwanda within a few days, easily earning several dollars.

Ten million US dollars. Since the civil strife in Lyon in 1991, the anti-government armed offensive has been fierce, and the government and military have been retreating steadily. In desperation, the government signed a two-year contract with eo in 1995. eo dispatched

300 mercenaries assisted the government and fu forces in fighting. Within a few months, the anti-government and fu forces were defeated and had to sign a peace agreement with the government and fu forces. Of course, the eo company was well paid, not only earning US$1.2 million per month,

It also obtained the right to mine diamond mines. Soon, Papua New Zealand came to the door again and asked eo to help it suppress the anti-government armed forces that had been in trouble for nine years. This time, due to the subsequent events of the Pakistani government,

The contract was interrupted due to the coup, but eo still obtained a high profit of US$36 million from it. In June 1998, eo company again spread the "good news": it has provided great assistance to the Angola government in the past two and a half years.

Finally, the anti-government armed forces agreed to negotiate. The Angolan government paid US$60 million for this, and the price paid by EO was only the death of 20 mercenaries.

Palermo naturally didn't know what Li Cong was thinking. It was really interesting that this guy was still thinking about Li Cong at this moment. He just said it, and others gave him such a result without asking anything.

This result is definitely what I want, and even exceeds my expectations.

"Sir? How can I help you?" This is the third time this question has been asked over there. Their receptionists are all of good quality. Even if you don't talk for a whole day, they will not call you.

Hang up because any one phone call may cause someone to lose more than tens of millions of dollars. This kind of thing should never happen.

"I want you to send an army to help me raid a warehouse. There are billions of dollars worth of diamonds in it. You can take all those things. Even if you can't take them, you will destroy them for me. I don't know.

Do you dare to take it? By the way, the warehouse I mentioned belongs to ALROSA." Palermo thought for a while and said, he had better not lie. For these hiring companies, they want to verify whether their words are lies or the truth.

It is too simple. At that time, people may feel that they are not reliable, and it is better to be more honest.

"Okay, that's no problem. I will give you our contact email later, and then send us the address and the information you know according to our method. Can you? What I need to remind you is that the one you gave

The more detailed the information, the greater our chances of completing the task. We will contact you again after estimating the cost." The voice on the phone was very sweet, and for Palermo, the meaning they expressed was better.

I thought they were the same as the mercenary groups I knew before. When I heard the reputation of Erosa, I was so frightened that I couldn't find the north. Unexpectedly, these people didn't react at all after hearing Erosa.

, don’t they know the reputation of Erosa or something?

When he hung up the phone, Palermo was still wondering, damn, I didn't even give you a phone number, how can you contact me?

How could the people of Erosa think at this moment that someone has started to plot against them? In the past month, they have just felt that the jewelers in the past were very flattering to them, but now their attitude towards people like them seems to be the same.

It was different before. In the past, if I called them and told them that I had a lot of good products here, they would all want to come over immediately. Now those people actually ask me to send them a picture and that's it.

It seems that it is not their style. The reason for this must be that they have new sources of supply, but there seems to be no redundant diamond suppliers in the world except themselves and Asia Resources. Asia Resources Supply Energy Group Jewelry Store and some in Asia

The diamond sellers can't bear it anymore. It's impossible to make a profit. Besides, those Americans are all regular customers of this place. They haven't come here recently. It's really weird. Not all ALROSA's senior officials.

The fool quickly guessed that Li Cong's diamond mine started shooting their customers, but then he thought that those European jewelers had no contact with Li Cong. How did they get in touch? At this time, Bale

Mo appeared in their eyes. This guy is a Russian, and he actually helps those Chinese people. Isn't this a trick?

Just when Palermo was targeting them, ALROSA was also preparing to kill Palermo. They believed that Palermo must be the reason for losing these billions of dollars in business, and this guy sold

We have bought so many diamonds, not to mention this month, even in the past six months, no one will come to buy diamonds. Tell them to go drink the northwest wind? You can’t keep this guy. I heard that this guy has been with several people in the UK recently.

The jeweler also got in touch. He used to buy hundreds of millions of dollars in goods from ALROSA every month. If it falls into the hands of that guy, he will lose another sum and have to make this guy disappear. If this guy dies,

If so, then there is no need to talk about anything, and those customers will still have to come to me obediently.

The conspiracy between the two parties was formed step by step. Just when ALROSA began to formulate a plan to deal with Palermo, EO also responded to Palermo. Their people had already detected the man provided by Palermo.

According to the guards, there is no problem with the address. It is indeed a place where diamonds or other valuables are stored, but the defense there is also very strong. eo has conducted a thorough investigation of this operation, and it is obvious where it is.

There are more than 300 armed personnel. It seems that they are all retired soldiers. Their combat quality is not low, and there are a large number of heavy weapons inside. If they do it on Russian soil, they will not have any air power.

Support, and the other party may have air support. Many people inside originally wanted to give up this operation, but the billions of dollars of diamonds in it directly aroused their hearts. The target was those diamonds, Bale

It doesn't matter whether you destroy it or take it away, as long as it's not in their hands, and Palermo will also pay a reward of 150 million US dollars, not to mention the diamonds, even this reward is

It's the highest employment bonus they know this year. The worst they can do is stick bombs around it. It's no problem to kill it. It's just that the number of people who go in must be at least 200 or more. The weapons of these people need to be large.

The solution was solved by Lemo, which accordingly gave Palermo a price discount of 10 million US dollars. Palermo was very satisfied with this and spent millions of dollars to purchase a lot of large weapons.

There are still some in Lemo, after all, they are considered local bugs, and there are still a lot of prostitutes in the army. If Palermo can afford the money, they can just report the loss. This kind of thing has been done many times before.

of.

"Sir, the Investigation Department has just sent news. Palermo has discussed it with EO, and our people are already in place. It seems that our oriole is sure, and our people have also found an important person.

The news is that ALROSA is also preparing to take action against Palermo because of the diamonds." Kalelina's people have already understood the actions of both parties, and the diamond library is not only worth tens of

The latest news obtained by the people in the Investigation Department is that there are nearly 100 billion US dollars worth of diamonds and hundreds of tons of gold. These things are the foundation of ALROSA, so Li Cong's people must take them.

Seeing these things, ALROSA would not be able to kill Palermo. This person is Li Cong's seller. Li Cong also needs this person to contact him more European jewelers, so he must

Keep this guy.

"Haha, very good. As soon as the battle starts, bring back what we need and let them fight to the death. This is the best. Originally I thought eo would send out a large number of troops. If they suffer heavy losses, we are in Africa.

The troops will just get rid of them. Now it seems that losing these hundreds of people is not a big deal for them." This is what Li never liked in the whole plan. If the other party could send one-third

When people come, they are absolutely sure. It is different from fighting against a company or a country. There are more than 3,000 people in total. They must catch them all. Otherwise, they will have trouble in the future. These people will come to them every now and then.

A terrorist attack would be weird.

"Sir, we have also checked this. Most of EO's troops seem to have taken on an escort mission. It is rumored that some antiques in the British Museum will be sent to Broadway in the United States for exhibition. In addition to Europa, some military police and special forces were dispatched.

In addition, they also invited eo's protection team, who are very good at these things." Karelina knew that this was the most useful news today. Li Cong didn't really like antiques, but as long as

Li Cong had to get back the things that the foreign devils had stolen. The British Museum was no joke. It was a temple of world art. According to Li Cong's character, these goods had to be obtained.

It's up to you how to do it.

The British Museum, also known as the British Museum, is located in Great Russell Square, north of New Oxford Street, London, England. It was founded in 1753 and officially opened to the public on January 15, 1759. It is the oldest and largest museum in the world.

A magnificent comprehensive museum, it is also one of the largest and most famous museums in the world. The museum collects many cultural relics and book treasures from all over the world. The richness and variety of collections are rare in museums around the world. Currently, the museum has a collection of

There are more than 6 million items. Due to space limitations, there are still a large number of collections that cannot be exhibited publicly. After the establishment of Europa, Europa's senior officials once wanted to transport a large number of things to the Louvre in France. However, due to the strong opposition of the residents of the British Isles,

They objected, so they have been kept here. There are about 7,000 cultural relics shipped out from here this time. They are all priceless things, and they basically belong to those valuables. The Americans also paid a high price for this.

The British National Museum, the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, and the Louvre in Paris are among the three largest museums in the world. The British Museum includes the Egyptian Museum, the Greek and Roman Museum, the West Asian Museum, the European Medieval Museum and the Oriental Art Museum. Among them

The collections of the Egyptian Museum of Antiquities, the Museum of Greco-Roman Antiquities and the Museum of Oriental Art Museum are the most eye-catching, while the Chinese collections account for the vast majority, and its collection of ancient Roman relics, ancient Greek statues and Egyptian mummies are world-famous.

, part of the items that were shipped to the United States for the exhibition were shipped from the Oriental Art Museum, so Li Congdong thought it over. According to this guy, it was something from my ancestors. Why can't I take it?

came back?

In 1753, after the death of collector Sir Hans Sloane (1660-1753), according to his will, he donated all 71,000 personal collections and a large number of plant specimens, books, and manuscripts to the country. These collections were eventually

It was handed over to the British Parliament. After raising funds for the architectural museum through public donations, the British Museum was finally established and opened to the public on January 15, 1759, in the Montague building near downtown London.

After the museum opened, it acquired a large number of precious collections through various activities of the British in various places. The early British Museum tended to collect natural history specimens, but it also had a large number of cultural relics and books, so it attracted a large number of visitors.

In 1824, the museum built a new building to the north of the Montague Building, which was completed in the 1840s. The old Montague Building was demolished soon after. Soon after the new building was built, a circular reading room open to the public was built in the yard.

room.

Exhibition Hall 33 of the British National Museum is a permanent exhibition hall dedicated to displaying Chinese cultural relics. Along with the ancient Egyptian, ancient Greek, ancient Roman and Indian exhibition halls, it is one of the only national exhibition halls in the museum. The Chinese cultural relics collected in the museum

It covers the entire art category of China. In a nutshell, ancient stone tools, bronzes of the Shang and Zhou Dynasties, stone Buddhist scriptures of the Wei and Jin Dynasties, calligraphy and paintings of the Tang and Song Dynasties, porcelain of the Ming and Qing Dynasties and other national treasures that mark the pinnacle of various cultures in Chinese history can all be seen here, and

It can be said that the categories are complete and beautiful. In fact, according to Li Cong's idea, it's good that I didn't come here to rob you.

However, this is only part of the 23,000 rare Chinese treasures collected by the British National Museum. The other nine-tenths are stored in 10 collection rooms. Unless special permission is obtained, ordinary tourists have no chance to see them.

Some collections, such as the Tang Dynasty copy of Gu Kaizhi's "Proverbs of a Female History" from the Eastern Jin Dynasty, can only be viewed by special experts. "Programs of a Female History" is the earliest surviving Chinese silk painting and the earliest Chinese silk painting that can still be seen.

One of the works of a professional painter, it has a milestone significance in the history of Chinese art and has always been a treasure collected by the palaces of all dynasties.

There are only two copies left in the world. One of them was copied by the Song Dynasty and is collected by the Palace Museum in Beijing. The brushwork and color are not of the highest quality. The other is this copy in the British National Museum. It was originally collected by the Qing Palace and was the product of Qianlong's reign.

The emperor's favorite things on his desk were hidden in the Old Summer Palace. In 1860, when the British and French forces invaded the capital, British Captain Ji Yong stole it from the Old Summer Palace and took it abroad.

It was collected by the British National Museum in 1903 and became the most important oriental cultural relic in the museum. It is no exaggeration to call it the "treasure of the museum". This copy is stored in the Stein Secret Room in the museum. According to reports, Nanjing Normal University Dunhuang

Xie Chengshui, director of the Art Research Office of the Academic Research Center, accidentally saw this copy in the secret room in 2002. At that time, there was only a record in the register that two Fuso people came to the site to copy it in the 1920s.

On the central wall of the Huaxia Hall, there are tens of square meters of Dunhuang murals. Although the cut marks are still visible, they cannot conceal its lasting beauty and the grace and splendor of the three "rich and fat" Bodhisattvas. It is a national treasure collected by the National Museum of the United Kingdom.

There are tens of thousands of Dunhuang scrolls and scriptures, but apart from this mural, other collections are hard to find in the Huaxia Hall.

From 1856 to 1932, a number of so-called "Western explorers" went deep into northwest China more than 60 times in the name of scientific expeditions, and each time they looted a large number of documents and cultural relics. Among them, in 1907 the Hungarians Stein and

The Frenchman Pelliot looted the most cultural relics from the Dunhuang Scripture Cave.
