Chapter 1566 Crazy Quantity (Part 1)

After Guo Tailai, Little Finn and the soldiers enjoyed three days of simple parties and exquisite food at the port, they finally received the goods from Baghdad, um, those local gifts.

"Are you kidding? Finn!" Looking at the long convoy that entered the port and stopped at Pier No. 3, Guo Tailai was dumbfounded. More than a hundred M915A4 heavy-duty military trucks with a load of more than ten tons? How many things does this have? too exaggerated! Guo Tailai couldn't help being frightened: "You must be joking! You must be joking!"

"Hahaha! G!" Little Finn laughed exaggeratedly. After holding back for so many days, he finally saw what he wanted to see. Guo Tailai was so frightened that he could speak incoherently. This is so interesting: "Why is this surprise?" Like? Huh?"

"Holy shit! Finn, how much is this robbery?" Guo Tailai couldn't help but swear directly, and said to Finn regardless: "Did you directly move the inventory?"

"Maybe!" Little Finn didn't care, shrugged his shoulders and said indifferently: "Who knows?"

"This is ransacking!" Guo Tailai and Little Finn were not polite at all. Although these things were given to him, Guo Tailai still condemned the Americans mercilessly.

"Actually, it's not!" A strange voice sounded, not far behind Guo Tailai and Little Finn: "On the contrary, this is protection, not looting. What the mobs in Iraq did is looting." !"

Guo Tailai already knew that someone was coming, but Little Finn didn't know. Turning his head after hearing the voice, Little Finn suddenly smiled when he saw the person coming: "Uncle Thomas!"

Walking over was an officer, a brigadier general, wearing a well-fitting field uniform, who also smiled when he saw Thomas.

After greeting Little Finn, Brigadier General Thomas turned to Guo Tailai, and said very seriously to Guo Tailai: "Mr. Taylor, this is protection, not looting!"

Guo Tailai gave the other party a look of disbelief.

"Before we found out, there were a lot of mobs and gangsters in Baghdad who had already started looting the National Museum of Iraq." Brigadier General Thomas seemed not guilty at all, and talked to Guo Tailai: "When we found out, in a short time Within half a day, they have stolen and destroyed tens of thousands of exhibits."

"Those looters took away some small and priceless ivory products, precious metal products and ancient coins." Brigadier General Thomas said: "Those fragile ancient clay products were broken into pieces and scattered on the ground. Others are trying to smash large statues that cannot be lifted."

"If we don't take away the exhibits in these museums, then these precious cultural relics will eventually become fragments or stolen goods on the black market." Facing Guo Tailai's disbelieving gaze, Brigadier General Thomas said with eloquence: "We protected The integrity of these precious historical materials and cultural relics has avoided the serious consequences of their disappearance or destruction, and saved them from war and looting by mobs, Sir, this is protection!"

Guo Tailai was speechless. He really wanted to ask, brought war to others, killed countless people, displaced countless people, and now he can still stand in front of Guo Tailai, plausibly saying that we protected these cultural relics, what about his face?

But Guo Tailai still didn't say it after all. The current situation is that these guys he despises are using the US military's transport convoy to give them these "native products" that need to be protected. Maybe what they said was right, if they hadn't stopped them, countless cultural relics would have been destroyed, smashed and disappeared, at least if they gave it to themselves now, it would be a little better than the result in the future dream.

In fact, I accepted these "native products" gifts, and before returning them, how much better could my behavior be in the eyes of others than those mobs who ransacked the museum? Possibly even worse! The mobs just rushed in and picked what they could grab and snatched it away, making small fuss, but Guo Tailai was a crazier robber who took away the whole package. What qualifications do I have to speak of others now? Old man laughing at pig black? It's just a bird of a feather.

"How many of these things are there?" No longer dwelling on that question, Guo Tailai looked at the mighty convoy and asked Brigadier General Thomas.

"About 70,000 pieces." Thomas didn't say anything else, and calmly answered Guo Tailai's question: "Most of them are artworks and sculptures, and some of them are relatively heavy, mainly to prevent collisions. , so the convoy looks more numerous."

The museum is one of the most important museums in the world, with a collection of hundreds of thousands of cultural relics, including a large number of treasures from Sumer, Akkad and other civilizations. According to the statistics of the deputy curator of the museum, gangsters looted and destroyed 170,000 cultural relics thousands of years ago, worth billions of dollars.

Guo Tailai just heard that those people robbed and destroyed tens of thousands of cultural relics, and sent 70,000 pieces of heavy and large sculptures and other works of art to Guo Tailai, but where did the more than 90,000 light and valuable cultural relics go? ? It's not even a question of whether they have stolen anything!

But Guo Tailai couldn't ask these questions, let alone ask them. So Guo Tailai could only helplessly ask a practical question with a wry smile: "There are so many, it will take several days to ship them!"

But just right, the longer the better, Guo Tailai thought he had to seal up the pier halfway, and then wait for future opportunities! No need now, in a few days, enough for my own people to remove all the gold below.

These cultural relics and works of art were given to Guo Tailai as gifts, so the old Finn arranged them very thoughtfully and packaged each item properly. Most of them were solid wooden cuboid boxes with regular shapes. It is easy to stack.

Fortunately, Guo Tailai had already made preparations. The upper camouflage cabin also has 2,000 cubic meters. According to the approximate quantity, it can completely hold these packaged souvenir gifts.

"Thank you very much, Mr. Thomas!" Guo Tailai did not address the other party's military rank, but directly replaced it with Mr.: "If possible, I will be responsible for entertaining your soldiers these days. You can rest here."

"Besides, this is my little thanks to you and your soldiers." Guo Tailai took a box from Zhang Zhenhai beside him, which contained one million dollars in cash, and Guo Tailai handed the box directly to Brigadier General Thomas. In the hand: "Please accept it!"
