Chapter 526: Artifacts and Adventures
"The time is not right, and it takes more strength to deal with the general trend of the situation, which is half the effort!" Chatting with Lu Sihua, Fan Chong and others about Italy's actions, Meng Xiang pointed out.
The Italians not only carried out in East Africa and North Africa, but even opened up another battlefield in the Balkans, it seems that the European war is already in full swing, but Meng Xiang knows that this is only the beginning, the prelude to the Soviet-German war has not yet begun, the Americans have not yet been involved, and even the war in North Africa, the German forces have not intervened, these are just the prelude to the world war.
"When the time comes, those opportunities are always reserved for those who are ready again!" Meng Xiang couldn't help but sigh when he thought of the Americans who had already activated the national military machine, but were sitting firmly in Diaoyutai and watching the fire from the other side.
Who would have thought that this isolationist American had planned to prepare all kinds of small plans to deal with unexpected events as early as the twenties, in order to be able to quickly seize the opportunity and dominate the world when it came?
Before the bomb reached Pearl Harbor, Yamamoto may have peeked through the fog of history to see the smiling face of the American Yīn. The orange sè plan for the day himself has been prepared for more than ten years, and it has finally been placed on the commander's desk from the safe.
Behind the closed vault door, there were still yellow, green, black, and red plans, and the names of China, Mexico, Germany, and even the United States' ally Britain were clearly recorded on the list of the attacked plans.
When Meng Xiang first arranged the spies, he also wanted to send someone to steal those plans and sow discord, but then he gave up. No country is stupid enough to trust any of its allies. Is there a similar plan to the United States? Which country has not kept a hand? The plans were announced, but they were just rumors, and "countries with stakes in them would still be allies." It's just an extra swear in an informal setting.
The International Gathering is inherently fraught with dangers of all kinds. Who can be unprepared in the face of risks?
Even Soviet Russia, why didn't it "condense its core strength to prepare for war" before it was fought abroad? After the start of the war, there was only one voice of Stalin in Soviet Russia, which was undoubtedly an important reason why Soviet Russia married to the end.
Trotsky, another pillar of uncertainty that could bring about change, has been assassinated and fallen. In this regard, Meng Xiang can only express regret. He only knew that Lenin's comrade-in-arms, the founder of the Red Army in Soviet Russia and the founder of the Fourth International, had been assassinated, but the exact circumstances were not clear. He sent a few warnings to Trotsky, "but he was still succeeded in August." The man who started to pull Méng was his acquaintance, and this was difficult to guard against.
The only thing Meng Xiang could do was to use Trotsky's identity to add some material to Soviet Russia. He did not expect that just a list of Trotsky's contacts and funds, together with a little weapons and foreign exchange, would make the Central Asian region be combed by Lao Si two or three times, and the blood would flow like a river, so that the air of Central Asia would contain the atmosphere of winter in advance. He could only sigh that Lao Si was too fierce, and he was definitely the one who would rather kill by mistake "and never let go, in just one month, the pattern of Central Asia has changed greatly, and even the spies he arranged have sacrificed eight in this combing.
And these eight attracted 10,000 times the funeral, which made Meng Xiang only sigh.
"People in troubled times are as cheap as grass!" Fan Chong didn't know why Meng Xiang suddenly sighed like this, but he also sighed thoughtfully: "War is so cruel!" It's not just human life that can be destroyed by war. I heard that now London has been bombed by Germany, and many well-known attractions have been blown up. In this way, human civilization has been lost little by little in the long river of history, and future generations can only rely on words and images to remember and guess the past! ”
It may be much easier for future people to guess what happened to us at this time, after all, we still left a lot of words and images" are all our remembrance of our predecessors, but it is not easy. For more ancient things, I can only guess more. Lu Sihua, who had been listening quietly next to him, interjected with a smile, "However, in the middle of Q", four French teenagers found an ancient cave painting in the southwest of France, which showed us descendants a picture of ancient life. According to the research of relevant personnel, those murals are at least 10,000 years old. ”
"More than 10,000 years ago? What is drawn? Fan Chong asked with a curious smile.
"It may have been some hunting, sacrificial and other content, as well as some animal patterns." Lu Sihua did not see specific photos of the murals, but he did not let go of some small details of European and American events, and found them from some newspapers and magazines.
The intelligence network of the vanguard army not only went out to collect, but also collected all kinds of printed materials around the world. In addition to the analysis by local intelligence personnel, the original newspapers of various countries were also concentrated in a few copies of the intelligence headquarters in China as soon as possible for reference and study. Lu Sihua's analysis and judgment of European and American intelligence never let go of those small details, even if it is artistic, it is easy to reveal some news. At this time, he just said it to enliven the somewhat dull and depressing atmosphere just now, but it made Meng Xiang's heart move when he heard it.
The most famous cave paintings in France are the ones in the Slacox Cave. It was Paleolithic, at least 15,000 years old.
"I heard that the pattern is very artistic, and many artists in France came to see it. Even the Germans went to see it and protected it. Art knows no borders. Lu Sihua said with a smile.
"But art has borders! Our ancestors in China left us a lot of valuable artistic wealth, but it was stolen and destroyed by those national art robbers under various pretexts. The remnants of the Old Summer Palace still exist, the fragments of the Dunhuang murals are still there, they have gained art, and we have been disgraced! Meng Xiangzheng said in a deep voice, "At the beginning, our Dunhuang murals were also exquisite, and the murals of Dunhuang were also very artistic, but which international friends came to protect them at that time?" The most infuriating thing is that we don't cherish it ourselves, and destroy the artistic treasures left by our predecessors to future generations for our own sake! Meng Xiang regretted in his heart and couldn't help but scream.
As soon as Fan Chong heard this, he knew that Meng Xiang was still angry about what happened a few days ago.
A few days ago, Meng Xiang received many pleas from many people in a row, all of which pointed to Zhang Daqian. Meng Xiang, who didn't know about it, asked someone to find out what was going on. Since the Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes were taken over by the vanguard army, "they have been nationalized and have been protected." In addition to raising the Xiaomogao Grottoes Research Institute here, Meng Xiang also specially arranged a squad of armed police forces there.
After the sacking of the British, the Russians, the Japanese and the Americans, "the Mogao Grottoes were already famous at this time, and many people often came to visit them. Zhang Daqian also lived nearby in the first half of the year to copy murals.
One day, while tracing the murals, he noticed that some of the murals had two layers, the inner and the outside.
He peeled back the outer layer to see the inner layer, but was caught by the armed police officers and soldiers patrolling. A lawsuit was filed in accordance with the laws and regulations on the protection of cultural relics promulgated by the Joint Theater of Operations. According to Zhang Daqian's actions, he will inevitably face prison. This is also the reason why everyone intercedes. But Meng Xiang remembered a description of later generations because of this incident. From 40 to 42 years, Zhang Daqian went to Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes twice to copy the murals, and the time he stayed there added up to more than a year, during which he recorded more than 30 murals in total. Among them, Cave 130 of Mogao Grottoes, which has a 26-meter-high Buddha statue in the cave, is one of the most representative grottoes in Dunhuang. In addition, the grottoes where he recorded and damaged the murals include Cave 108 and Cave 454.
Such a typical approach is purely to satisfy one's own self-esteem, and let these Chinese treasures that have been left for thousands of years no longer be treasured, especially what makes Meng Xiang angry is that this is still the Chinese people themselves. He originally wanted to find Zhang Daqian and others to leave some pen and ink as heirlooms, but this incident made Zhang Daqian's image plummet in his eyes.
Since he learned about this, he immediately turned cold and refused all pleas. These matters are handled by the court of the joint theater, and the law does not tolerate mercy." Although this time and space was discovered early, he only demolished 3 places, but Meng Xiang also decided to kill chickens and monkeys, with the help of Zhang Daqian's reputation, with this typical case to remind the Chinese people who still have a weak awareness of protecting cultural relics, so as not to cause greater losses.
Fan Chong had dealt with Zhang Daqian when Jiang Baili was a literati, "He didn't know that Meng Xiang could use the clone to play some tricks, and he just thought that under the jury and independent judge system, even Meng Xiang's plea might not have much effect." It is useless to plead for mercy", so I can only complain in my heart that Zhang Daqian has damaged the artist's face.
Lu Sihua has also heard about this matter, although he also knows that Zhang Daqian is a well-known master of Chinese painting, "but he also agrees that everyone is equal before the law."
This matter has been in a uproar in China in the past few days, and there is everything, but everything can only be decided when the court is held.
Because of this incident, Meng Xiang thought a lot about artworks and cultural relics, and today's words of Lu Sihua aroused some of his thoughts. The concept of cultural relics is not only a cultural relic and a work of art, but also some cultural relics contain a special meaning that can be called a sacred relic.
The same cave xué made Meng Xiang can't help but think of a cave xué in the Middle East.
At this time, in the northwestern Kiber Qumrand wilderness of the Dead Sea in the Middle East, many places have been marked with the wells occupied by Meng Xiang through some shadow companies.
The Dead Sea Scrolls, both to Western religious circles and to Jews, are comparable to nuclear bombs. This is an artifact from Jesus' lifetime, a relic that shakes the foundations of Western religion. In the eyes of the people of Sère, it is another priceless holy relic. It is not too much to exaggerate the role of such a treasure, although some of the contents of the Dead Sea Scrolls in later generations have been declassified and disclosed at the request of some people, but Meng Xiang has viciously guessed some secrets hidden behind it in later generations.
One of the pillars of Western civilization is religion, and the Dead Sea Scrolls are powerful enough to shake it. When Meng Xiang was laying out the Middle East, he had already sent people to look for it. It's just that such a holy relic is more powerful when unearthed at the right time. While Meng Xiang sent people to search for it secretly, he was also constantly enclosing the land. Although he knew that it had only been discovered after World War II, he was still on guard against causing changes. For this reason, a spy was specially sent to lead two clones and three ordinary Huaxia agents to stay around in the name of doing business, specifically to pay attention to this matter.
This is not something that Meng Xiang does not pay attention to, if such a thing is used well, it can be worth the power of a million troops, and it will be left for thousands of years. Just like the Nazis in the film and television works in order to pursue miracles and treasure hunting, Meng Xiang is also searching for more holy relics and treasures around the world at this time. The war has made some things easier to get hold of, although there are not enough people, but Meng Xiang relies on most of the memories in his mind, slowly looking for clues, just waiting for the right opportunity to frighten the world.
In addition, Meng Xiang also used to think about many things of ancient civilizations viciously. Since he had a base and a time machine, Meng Xiang would not scoff at some strange phenomena. Perhaps some relics involving the origin of human civilization really exist, Meng Xiang not only wants to solve the mysteries in his mind, but also wants to cultivate a kind of adventurous spirit of active exploration among the Chinese people.
The exploratory and adventurous spirit of the Western world has discovered the New World and the dawn of modern civilization. The adventurous spirit of the ancient Chinese also opened up the Silk Road of the Han and Tang Dynasties, and its prestige was far and wide, but the conservatism and self-containment of modern China made the Chinese people stay away from danger and adventure, and gradually shrunk the adventure gene in the blood in the turtle shell.
"We need to use adventurous heroic deeds and great benefits to reawaken the adventurous spirit that the ancients left us with fearless courage in the unknown world!" Meng Xiang said in his heart. @。
