Chapter 299: World War II Medal

Walker parked his car on the south side of the courtyard market, blocking the forest south with his massive body, which would prevent sniping from the forest.

Jason's Lincoln Navigator and Lexington's Humvee, under Walker's command, blocked the other two directions.

Don't worry about the east side of the road, there are a lot of police and FBI blocking it!

After the car stopped, Walker and Raymond, along with four Lexington armed security guards, got out of the car first and began to check the security situation.

Raymond held up the binoculars and reconnoitred all the surrounding situations, and everything was missed, very carefully and seriously!

Seeing these heavily armed security guards, as well as the police and FBI eyeing the highway, the two stall owners and a dozen treasure hunters in the courtyard market gasped!

How many people has this bastard offended? It's fucking crazy to have a small army with him!

"Steven, the scene is safe, you can get off!"

After inspecting the scene, Raymond immediately said through the headset.

After saying that, they continued to stare around vigilantly, guarding against any unexpected situation.

"Okay!"

Ye Tian answered, then opened the car door and walked out with Betty.

Jason and Sophie, along with a host of excited reporters, stepped out of their vehicles and walked towards the courtyard market.

"It's a eye-opener! This is the most exaggerated treasure hunt team I've ever seen! Not only with a small army, but also with a interview group, I've never seen it before!"

"It's just Steven, the bastard! Who can be so arrogant in other people's hands? Who would dare to be so ostentatious?"

Looking at the team of people coming, the treasure hunters in front of the stall all had dumbfounded expressions!

"Good morning, guys, I'm Steven, it's a pleasure to meet you!"

Walking closer, Ye Tian smiled and greeted everyone at the scene.

At the same time, he nodded politely at two of the treasure hunters.

These two are familiar faces, professional treasure hunters from Missouri, who have met Jack Wade, and the beaten Big Al all the way, have been brutally shaved by themselves, and must be very impressed!

Seeing Ye Tian greeting him, the two guys immediately squeezed out a smile that was more ugly than crying, and nodded at Ye Tian!

Happy fart! Are we happy to meet you bastard!

Every treasure hunter is secretly complaining, but the surface article still has to be done.

"Steven, good morning, I didn't expect to meet you here, it's a great honor, I'm Carter, a professional treasure hunter from Arizona!"

The nearest black buddy introduced himself and shook hands with Ye Tian.

The others introduced themselves one after another, and everyone knew each other.

Without exception, these guys are all professional treasure diggers from Arizona, Kansas, Missouri, and Tennessee.

After saying hello, Ye Tian immediately asked with a smile:

"Guys, how did you get here? It can't be improvised, right?"

Hundreds of miles of corridor 127, more than a dozen professional treasure hunters gathered at this small courtyard market at the same time, saying that it was a coincidence, I'm afraid no one believes it!

The guys just smiled and didn't answer, and one of the stall owners answered the question out loud.

"Hello Steven, welcome to our booth, I'm Juan, next to this is Charles, we're Kentuckians, and we live here.

It was the news I posted on the website of the Storage Association that made professional treasure hunters from several nearby states come over today, and these buddies saw the news, so they rushed here!"

"Good morning, Juan, good morning, Charles, it seems that I was lucky today, and I didn't come late, just in time for you to come out!"

Ye Tian said hello to the two stall owners, and immediately turned his eyes to the goods on the stall.

"That's right, you're here at the right time, we're out of the stall for the first day, and it's not been long since we put it out, and we haven't sold a few goods yet, you can take a look!"

Juan explained with a smile, his eyes full of excitement, and Charles was also very excited.

This kid is a billionaire and very generous, and he might be able to make a fortune today!

"That's great! Let me see these babies, maybe there's something I like!"

As he spoke, Ye Tian had already stepped forward, squatted in front of the stall, and began to appreciate the goods.

The rest of the treasure hunters immediately became nervous, and their eyes were fixed on Ye Tian, lest he fall in love with the treasure he liked and cut off his beard halfway!

The things on the two stalls are basically the same, they are all military products, and they are filled with stalls made of two folding beds!

To be precise, most of the medals of the participating countries in the European theater during World War II can be seen, and the medals of the United States, Britain, France, Germany, the Soviet Union and other countries can be seen.

In addition, there are a handful of U.S. military-era Vietnam-era medals, as well as medals that are still being awarded.

The number of medals on the booth is quite huge, not to mention hundreds of them!

Except for some particularly rare medals that I haven't seen, the rest are basically there, and they are set by country, so you can have a World War II medal museum!

The most commendable thing is that these medals are all genuine and in good condition, and there are patches of white light shining in Ye Tian's eyes, showing the era they came from.

Some of them are beautifully designed, with several layers of halos, indicating that in addition to their historical significance, these medals also have quite good artistic value!

The Medal is the highest honor bestowed by the state on a meritorious person, and it is an honor that is higher than life.

The awarding of medals, on behalf of the awardees for their indelible contributions to the cause of justice, is the highest form of spiritual reward.

Each awardee regards the medal as his life and thus treasures it, which makes the collection of medals always extremely difficult, and thus creates the highest standard collection in the collecting world.

Medal Collection!

In the world of collecting, medals are the highest stage of collecting, and they are the lifelong pursuit of collectors!

Although the level of the medal collection is very high, it is a niche collection, and there are not many people who play it, but the connotation is extremely profound, and it is a very meaningful collection category.

Behind each medal, there is a moving historical story, as well as the smoke of gunfire, which is the charm of the medal collection!

In addition, don't look at the size of the medals, which are generally not large, but the value is not low!

In countries around the world, high-level medals have become national cultural relics, and some very important and rare medals are even more valuable.

For example, the Victory Medal of the former Soviet Union is the highest medal of honor of the Soviet Red Army, which is only awarded to senior commanders of the Red Army, and is intended to reward their heroic performance in large-scale battles and many battles.

Only 20 Medals of Victory have been awarded, each of which is currently worth at least millions of dollars, no less than the paintings of famous artists!

The most expensive medal in the United States is the Revolutionary Medal awarded to the first President of the United States, George Washington, also known as the Cincinnati Gold Medal.

The heirs of the Washington family once brought it to the Sotheby's auction in New York, and experts estimated this national treasure of the United States at $10 million!

It's a pity that among the hundreds of medals in front of Ye Tian, there are no top-notch medals that are of great historical significance and priceless, and they are basically relatively ordinary medals!

But it is better than the huge number and complete variety, so it is also rare!

German Order of the Iron Cross 2nd Degree, German Knight of the Iron Cross, USSR Order Alexander Nevsky, Order of the Patriotic War 2nd Degree、......

Ye Tian looked at these star-studded honor symbols one by one, very focused, fast and careful.

In good condition and well maintained, they are very good collector's items!

The number of these medals is too large to be appreciated one by one in a short period of time, so you can only save it for later to appreciate and study carefully!

After only looking at more than thirty pieces, Ye Tian was already so excited that his eyes lit up, and he was extremely eager to take them!

As for these professional treasure hunters next to him, Ye Tian didn't care at all, and he didn't treat them as opponents at all!

When has the buddy's favorite thing ever been left behind? Today is no exception!

I'm sorry! You guys are destined to run away in vain, who let you run into buddies, think you're unlucky!

Slightly suppressed his excitement, Ye Tian put down the German army's '50 Tank Armored Attack Medal' in his hand, stood up and asked curiously:

"Juan, tell me about these medals, it seems impossible for you to collect so many World War II medals at your age?

And I don't really understand, why don't you send these medals to the auction house? Maybe you can get a higher price, is there any reason?"

Juan and Charles are both white boys in their twenties and thirties, so they might be able to afford a medal collection of this size, and they may not have it!

These medals are either the collection of a collector or the collection of a veteran for decades, and those who have been soldiers have a special affection for the medals, and they are also the main group of people who collect them.

In short, they could not possibly be the collection of Juan and Charles.

Not only Ye Tian had this question, but the rest of the people at the scene were also surprised, and everyone looked at Juan and Charles, waiting for their answers.

The facts were just as Ye Tian expected, Juan smiled and nodded, and then began to explain.

"Steven, you're right, it's not our collection, we don't have the capacity to collect so many medals, it's a collection of my grandfather and Grandpa Charles.

They were World War II veterans and old friends, and they all had this hobby of collecting, most of which were collected during the war in Europe and took decades to accumulate so much.

These medals are mainly from World War II veterans, so most of the medals you see are World War II medals, only those of the Vietnam War and modern times are my and Charles' collection, not worth mentioning!"

"They're from World War II veterans, so that makes sense!

Ye Tian suddenly said, with this explanation, his determination to win this batch of medals suddenly became stronger.

Whether this explanation is true or not, as long as Juan says it here and everyone hears it, then he can rest assured that he will not have to worry about any trouble!

"Thank you!"

Juan nodded in thanks and went on to explain:

"After inheriting these medals, I didn't think about selling them at first, but recently I needed to buy land, expand the scale of the farm, and I had a tight amount of money, so I thought of selling them.

In addition, Charles also agreed to sell, so we discussed it and decided to take advantage of the opening of Corridor 127 to gather powerful treasure hunters to come over and sell these collections.

You see that not all the medals, some of the rarer and more valuable ones have been picked up by the Louisville auction house, about forty or so, and the rest are all here!"

"No wonder I didn't see even a rare medal, it turned out that someone had already picked it, and I was still late!"

Ye Tian said regretfully, a trace of disappointment flashed in his eyes.

But his mood was not affected at all, he was still very excited, even excited!

Because his real goal is not these World War II medals, but something else, and these medals are nothing more than an excuse to cut in, the best smoke bomb!

Of course, he also liked these World War II medals very much, and really wanted to take them.
