C3064 Sale of the palace (2/2)
”All have... Get out of the car! ” General Luo Huo's voice came out.
Everyone opened the carriage and rushed out. When they arrived at Tuileries' garden on the left, a thick smell of blood rushed towards them.
The soles of his feet were all sticky, needless to say, stepped on his blood. The head storekeeper was extremely disgusted, but fiercely patted his back to stop him from thinking about these things … Think of what you like! ”
”This is the France's Imperial Palace! ”Remember, everyone must be cautious. We only have six hours …”
”Stop talking, get to work …” ”In six hours, we will load as many carriages as we can. We must definitely fill up these twenty-five carriages!”
”After six hours, if we take one more, they will shoot us!”
”Everyone, check your pocket watches. It's 11: 00 AM now. Everyone must return to their carriages and leave …” Do you understand? ”
”Yes sir!”
Two companies of SPECIAL SERVICES s, with a group of experts hired by the Head of State from Berlin on a high salary, including a few Grand Scholars from Beijing, charged towards Tuileries' Palace.
This was the agreement between Xiao Letian and Xiao Letian, and was also the final transaction. Xiao Letian used six steamer's worth of materials to exchange for the treasures in France's palace.
However, not all of them, Blanqui was not that foolish. After bargaining between the two parties, they finally agreed on six hours.
During this time, you can take as much as you want. This will not only test your physical strength and ability to organize, but also test your good eyesight.
What treasure was the most valuable? What was a little bit less? No one would give you the answer. It all depended on your own eyes and luck!
In fact, Xiao Letian was not sure if he could make Blanqui accept his conditions, because he knew clearly that this kind of person was essentially a nationalist, followed by warriors of the same ranks.
Convince a nationalist to let him agree to sell his country's artistic treasures? This was an almost impossible task.
However, Xiao Letian had done it, because the world had changed. Blanqui could not help but lower his head.
Blanqui was very clear on the current situation in Paris, a civil war was inevitable. If there was no previous failure to break out of the siege, then both sides could perhaps work together for a much longer period of time in order to reach a common enemy.
Whether it was the left or right wing, they both understood that the country's momentum had already gone, and the Prussian had completely taken control of the situation.
Tens of thousands of lives had been lost in the battle, and Paris no longer had the strength to break through!
When the left and right were both controlled by despair, when they lost a common hope, then the conflicts that had been suppressed before would no longer be controllable.
In addition to the unusually heavy snowfall this year, the resources in the city had become the focus of competition for resources. If they wanted to survive, they would have to fight for more resources.
What if they couldn't get it? Then there was only one way, and that was to make a secret deal with the forces outside the city!
Blanqui had no choice, no matter how good the cultural relics were, they could not be treated as food, and the materials from the six steam boats could make the commune persist until spring next year.
The choice of life or death wasn't actually that difficult!
