The Northwest bought cultural relics from Germany, which should have been a secret, but because of Germany's extensive search for cultural relics, there was no way to hide it, Germany occupied Paris, the capital of France, but the French were still there, and it was impossible to block the whole city, even if the German army was used, not to mention that in addition to the French, there were other foreigners.

No matter how strong Germany is, it is impossible to confront the whole world, Paris is a modern metropolis, there are both French and British, as well as Americans and other neutral people, knowing that the United States may join the Entente, but before the United States has not indicated its attitude, even Germany will not be willing to offend the Americans too much, so it cannot be too ugly.

Among them, I have to say that the guy who came from the United States to inspect the cultural relics, the master of cultural relics named Sosa, almost went to Germany several times to protest, demanding that the Germans return the cultural relics belonging to the Americans. But the Germans didn't pay attention to him at all, for no other reason, because of money, before, searching the whole of Paris, the Germans still have some hurdles that can't get through, a large industrial country, always have to pay attention to a little face, but there are too many things, gold, silver, all kinds of antique jewelry, huge wealth, as if opening a Pandora's box, these are all regarded as German trophies, no matter what you Americans think, Sosa opened his mouth to ask, all of them are first-class precious cultural relics, worth more than 55 million US dollars, This is still the price after the price reduction in the United States.

The duck in his hand, how could he let him fly away, besides, what Sosa said is not without loopholes, what you say is yours, what about the evidence, such as the portrait of the Mona Lisa, the statue of Venus, the goddess of love, and the statue of the goddess of victory. Rodin's Bronze Age, Pierre's private room, these recognized things are French, not American.

In the face of the demands of the Germans, especially the request for Sosa to come up with a formal purchase contract, Sosa really couldn't get it. No matter how mad France is, it is impossible for France to hand over the three treasures of the Louvre, the Mona Lisa, the statue of Victory, and the statue of Venus Eros to the United States, but it is a little worse, but it is impossible to sign a state document, it is just a private operation, and it will not leave a trace when it is completed, but it is not completed now. It's just a preliminary, how can it be possible to come up with evidence.

Sosa can also see it, looking at the attitude of the Germans towards these treasures, even if he really comes up with evidence, he may not be able to get these from the Germans, it is obvious that those cultural relics are for the purpose of transporting them back home. At least a national treasure of these, the German royal family collects. Unless they can defeat Germany, they will never get it.

Sosa reported everything that happened before and everything that happened after the German siege to China, which immediately caused an uproar in the United States. Because of this thing. The United States spent half a day of effort, but it did not even gain a little, and watched as what should have been cheap for itself was seized by the Germans, especially those large consortia. It doesn't matter if you cheat the money of the US government, anyway, the US government is a pit goods, and it is no problem to pit it, but you have cheated the money of these consortia, although this money can be made up for in various ways, but the immediate loss is going to be eaten, no matter what, under the impetus of Morgan and other major consortia, the United States has accelerated its preparations for war.

These Germany don't know, even if they know, they can't take care of it, more than billions of dollars, in exchange for hundreds of millions of pounds, equivalent to hundreds of more than hundreds of capital ships, this wealth, no matter what, must be taken down, even if for this wealth, and the world is the enemy, it is the same, not to mention that there is no intention of being an enemy, according to the general unspoken rules of war, this is the spoils of war, and the victorious country deals with the spoils of war, even if it is a little excessive, as long as it does not hurt people, it is normal.

Germany is so unscrupulous, the northwest is helpless to know it, it stands to reason that this kind of thing needs to sprout and make a fortune. Germany saw that the interests are too great, such fanfare, almost digging three feet into the ground, but also let the northwest very helpless, 15 million pieces of cultural relics, including many large heavy weapons, these things to be transported back from, the plane is absolutely not good, now the plane is still secret to all countries in the world, just because of the thousand boat war burning airship heat, it seems to continue, at least as far as the northwest channel knows, there are hundreds of airships under construction in the world, in this case, the consumption of others is their own.

Just like the dreadnoughts of the year, once the plane appears, even if it is in a powerful airship, it must be outdated, the speed of the hard injury, 6 times the speed of the airship under the aircraft, I am afraid that even the hair can not be touched, it was shot down by the aircraft, huge airbags and small planes, hard shells and soft airbags, this is not a grade at all, the more airships are built now, the greater the waste in the future.

The safest plane is not good, then you can only choose to sea transportation, Germany and China do not border, there is no direct railway, the safest route is to transport to Basra first, and then load from Basra, but there is a problem, how to pass Malacca, from Basra to Malacca, the voyage is shorter, and it is easy to calculate, the British can clearly calculate how long it will take, even if it is with a submarine, it is not safe, besides, the 3B line from Germany may not be safe, Germany is certain, Austria-Hungary, Turkey, Especially now that Russia is still putting pressure on the two countries in the center, in case the stage of the 3B railway, it will be a big trouble

In the end, after a careful selection of submarines, for this reason the northwest side will specifically warn Germany, when collecting cultural relics, you can be high-profile, but when you sell and transport back, you can't be high-profile, the submarine needs to come quietly, go quietly, until the things are transported to the country, you can, before you must keep it completely secret, the reason why you receive goods from Germany is also because the distance is long, you can't calculate the speed of the submarine, so that the submarine can arrive smoothly.

15 million pieces, almost a huge number, the value of which is low, can be put into the container with filler, but some of them are valuable, it is not good, must be placed in a special container, similar submarine fleet, the northwest has prepared a total of 24 batches, each batch of 30 ships, will take almost a year to transport things back.

The European war, because of the fall of Paris fell into an atmosphere that is difficult to be strict, Germany is high-spirited, British and French morale is low, Germany continues to advance, on the basis of Paris, further threatens the south of France, after losing the million-strong army in Paris, the Anglo-French alliance has tightened in various places, and has been defeated and retreated, and the occupation line of the two sides, from now above, has gone 150 kilometers to the south, almost two-thirds of France's land, and huge urban agglomerations, have fallen into the hands of Germany.

In this era, in this era dominated by one city, in any country, the vicinity of the capital is a relatively concentrated place of the city, and the capital of some countries even accounts for half or more of the industrial output value of the entire country. The same is true of France, although there are some industries in the south, but only a few port cities and shipyards, and the real essence is all in the north.

Now that the north is occupied, even France is one of the great powers, and it is somewhat unbearable. The decline of Britain and France also shocked Russia, they don't know why Britain and France behaved like this, around the Caspian Sea, for the attack of Turkey and Austria-Hungary, it can be regarded as having the upper hand, and stopped the operation early, Russia is not stupid, obviously

When you can take advantage, of course you have to appear, but now Britain and France have been beaten in the head with a stick, and they dare to continue, bringing the Germans here, what's fun, last year on the Russian-German border, they still remember the Russian fiasco, and at this time provoked the momentum of Germany, can't you feel comfortable.

Originally, Europe, which should have fought hard, actually entered a state of stalemate, Britain and France lost the ability to take the initiative to attack because of the great damage, and Germany is trying to digest the fruits of victory, cultural relics need to be classified and summarized, part of the French people, need to be screened, classified by occupation and age, after classification, it will be sent to the northwest, before the contact with the northwest, the northwest is also quite thirsty for these manpower, the two sides reached a new round of immigration plan.

Itself, Germany to buy Chinese materials, the pressure is huge, not only a large amount of hard currency is taken away, purchasing power is gradually shrinking, just rely on the wages of tens of millions of immigrants to live, with the help of this huge antiques, plus this batch of new immigrants, Germany has become economically well-off, on the basis of 16-inch naval guns, and the construction of 4 Bavaria-class ships, some of the wealth has become rich.

Britain and France are licking their wounds, Germany will not attack them, it is already a fluke, let them counterattack, at this time, there is absolutely no chance, unless it is to find a weapon to limit the airship, the modified barrel to get the Maxim is a little worse, can not pose a threat to the German airship, but the new replacement is under intense research. But some time ago, in the later stage of the Battle of Paris, the German special forces used anti-aircraft machine gun fragments to be obtained by them, and basically determined the composition of the anti-aircraft machine gun, which may be a little worse than the German one in terms of materials, but it can produce 15-inch artillery steel, and the quality is also good. Barely producing a 14.5 mm anti-aircraft machine gun with a range of 2,500 meters, it may take half a year before the armed forces, even if they are unwilling, Britain and France will not take the initiative to provoke at this time, they are waiting for anti-aircraft machine guns, and at the same time, they are also waiting for the United States to join.

The situation in Europe fell into an inexplicable calm, and the situation that should have been fought was calmed down for various reasons, and in this premise, a large number of Chinese experts, and experts hired from the world in the northwest, arrived in Paris. (To be continued.) )
