1878 Deals and Clues

When the emperor of the Pengeo Empire couldn't sleep because of some things, some people on the other side of the world didn't sleep either.

The sound of rushing water is like a natural lullaby to people who live by the sea. Sitting in a rocking chair with the sea breeze blowing, you can fall asleep without even realizing it.

The Pengeo patrol was driving at an even speed on the plank road by the seaside, and the small searchlight units on two armored vehicles strafed the calm sea.

They are on routine patrol.

But they were not particularly nervous, because this was not Pengeo, this was Gevra.

Now that the war in the mainland is so fierce, no one thinks that the Federation can still dedicate a force to attack Gefra, so the patrol arrangement is not particularly tight.

When the patrol's taillights were almost invisible, several people pushed a small boat onto the beach behind the backlit rocks.

They quickly made a demonstration for the boat with some fallen leaves and the like, and then picked up the flashlight and shined it a few times into the dense forest in the distance.

After a while, someone in the dense forest also started flashing a flashlight.

After the two parties had a brief "communication" through lights and passwords, the people in the dense forest appeared on the outskirts of the dense forest pushing a cart.

"Have you brought anything?"

The leader, dressed as a native of Gefra, asked in a low voice. His eyes kept turning back and forth on the faces of the people in front of him, appearing very vigilant.

The people following him were also observing the changes around them. Two of them even had their hands in their arms!

One of the guys from the sea took off his backpack and threw it away.

This move relaxed the atmosphere a lot.

This is a top secret transaction!

The local man took the bag, squatted on the ground and opened it. What he wanted was immediately revealed inside, and there was a smile on his face, "You guys are very well-behaved!"

The frogmen just smiled and said nothing. The man zipped up his backpack again and threw it to the person behind him, "Where are the others?"

One of the frogmen pointed to the temporarily hidden boat, and the local leader asked, "Can I go take a look?"

He is very careful. Even if he has seen samples, he will not continue trading until he sees other goods.

The frogman took him to the boat, and after lifting up large branches and canvas, revealed the contents inside.

Two long boxes made of beeswax and waterproof paint, each containing ten brand-new rifles.

A large box of bullets, containing ten individual small packages, totaling two thousand rounds.

Twenty guns and two thousand rounds of ammunition may be an extremely inconspicuous number on the battlefield.

But using illegal guns in the city often means dozens or hundreds of lives are lost at gunpoint.

In addition to these things, there are some canned meat, some medicines, bandages, surgical needles and threads.

Of course, the most important thing is what's at the stern.

A whole box of cigarettes, a total of 10,000 cigarettes!

The items in the backpack just now were all cigarettes.

Nowadays, Gefra's supplies are completely controlled by the Pengeo people. The rural areas are a little better and the management is not so strict.

Life is very difficult for residents in the city.

With the collapse of Fula and the Penteo people's massive search for wealth, many things have become extremely rare.

Cigarettes, alcohol, and even condoms have become rare items, and some condoms were also included in this smuggling operation.

After the inspection was almost done, the local leaders breathed a sigh of relief, and then they also unloaded the things on their carts.

A lot of art that is hard to distinguish between real and fake, and a small amount of gold.

The Pengeo people are frantically searching for gold, but they can't really let go of it.

People always find ways to hide gold.

Compared with the increasingly worthless currency, gold, silver, and jewelry are currently the top hard currencies on the island.

If you want to sneak out or buy or sell other things, you must have gold!

War and national disaster are like the end of the world for many people.

But it also allowed a small number of people to successfully accumulate their first generous start-up capital.

These people are bold, exploit skillfully, and already have extremely rich resources in their hands.

The frogman checked it and nodded with satisfaction.

The above requirement is more art and less gold and jewelry.

This transaction met their needs.

Seeing that the deal was about to be completed, the local leader hesitated for a while before calling out to the frogmen.

"I have a big deal, I wonder if you can afford it."

The frogs looked at me and I couldn't help but smile.

One of them said, "There's nothing we can't eat!"

"Whatever that is!"

They are so domineering. As employees of Blackstone Security, they know very well how rich their boss is. There are even Blackstone submarines performing operations in the surrounding waters.

Submarines are not a product of the military, they are a product of Schepp Industries. As long as you have the money and meet the purchase conditions, you can purchase them.

Further afield, there are also their warships and freighters.

Lynch gave Blackstone Security an indefinite assignment. The content of the task was to establish a smuggling channel to the island of Gafra.

They contacted the intelligence personnel lurking on the island of Gefra, and soon established their own shipping channels in various cover-up cities.

Here, as long as there is something, you can easily take it no matter what.

Lynch's request is to use artworks as the main trade exchange materials. These artworks are not very valuable now, but once the war is over, the prices of these artworks will soar.

Crazy appreciation of hundreds, dozens or even hundreds of times.

On the contrary, gold will maintain a relatively horizontal trend for a period of time after the war.

The local leader made his own conditions, "I want money, Federal Sol, at least... five hundred thousand?!"

He was not so confident at first, but soon he gave himself enough encouragement, "Yes, half a million!"

“I want cash for some of it!”

The Federal Sol is now quickly becoming one of the strongest currencies in circulation on the island.

And because of its rarity, its actual purchasing power far exceeds its true value.

For only ten yuan, you can choose a girl you like and take it home. Even a single-family house in the imperial capital only costs tens of thousands of yuan.

Money, here, can do a lot of things, even buy some things from the Pengeo people.

The idea of ​​this local man is very simple. He wants to spend money to buy himself an official position, which will make smuggling more convenient and make more money.

As for whether there was any moral problem with this, he didn't care.

He didn't even think about going to the Federation!

At this time, in his eyes, everything here is filled with gold!

Although the frogmen were laughing, there was obviously no contempt in their tone, "As long as your things are worth the price, money is not an issue."

The man walked to the frogmen and whispered some secrets he had discovered.

Some time ago, the Pengjiao people arrested many painters in the imperial capital and killed many of them.

Later, news came out that a large number of art collections in the palace had been stolen and could not be found, so the painters who provided the thieves with fake paintings suffered.

This was a premeditated plan, and they certainly didn't know who was behind it.

Being involved and knowing nothing, they were destined to die tragically.

The guy in front of the frogmen remembered that the night before the Pengeos landed on the island, he saw a large number of trucks driving out of the city center and heading north of the city.

Outside the north of the city is a large cemetery, with graves of ordinary people and a few nobles.

He has been very concerned about this matter in the past few days. He went around the north of the city. The edge of the cemetery has now become a military warehouse. There are soldiers patrolling. He does not dare to wander around...

The frogman was silent for a while after hearing this, "That's it?"

"Why don't you find time to take a look around. If you can really find something, money is not a problem..."

Five hundred thousand is nothing compared to the royal collection that may be worth hundreds or thousands of times.

But this news is not convincing, and there is nothing to prove that he is not lying. Naturally, the frogmen will not believe that what he said is true.

The local leader was not discouraged, "If I find something, it will be more than half a million!"

The frogman nodded, "Yes, we will give you a suitable number based on the current price, but it is obviously impossible for you to want so much when you have nothing."

"Besides, it's unlikely that we'll get it in person, so..."

He glanced at the sky and said, "It's time for us to leave. Where are your orders?"

The local leader reacted and quickly took out the order and handed it over, and both parties quickly left.

This scene happened in different areas of Gefra Island, at different times, with different transaction objects, until the sky was slightly bright.

Lynch has been transporting a large amount of things to smuggle to Gaevra. Of course, the term smuggling is only a verbal expression, and the official term should be a kind of trade assistance.

Send in the things they are in short supply and exchange them for worthless things. This is Mr. Lin's great internationalist sentiment!

It would take a few days for the things they brought back to return to Bupen, but the news was learned by Lynch immediately.

When he heard that the royal collection disappeared overnight, he immediately realized that it was a huge fortune!

What’s even more frightening is that this wealth will continue to expand rapidly!

No matter who inherits the palace in the future, recovering the lost works of art from the palace has become something that its successors must complete.

Those artworks themselves have great collection and economic value, and with such bizarre stories, the premium is appropriate, but I don’t know how high it will eventually rise!

In the morning, Blackstone Security dispatched two very elite action teams to Gevra, with the goal of trying to find the lost royal treasures!
