Hidden Dragon in Qing Dynasty

understood the principle very well. Using the opportunity of war to eat or even steal from it, this was the only way to get a large amount of cultural relics, and was completely counting on the market to buy them? The efficiency was too low!

It was basically wishful thinking to rely on the market to build a world-class collection center that surpassed the British Museum!

Only by relying on a black hand could he reach his target at the fastest speed possible, whereas Xiao Letian's hands had always been black!

Rosenberg's cultural relics were indeed not of a high standard. The sculptures and oil paintings were all works by third-line Renaissance artists. In this era, these things were actually the same as the dryad's Pink Disc.

They all knew that it was real, but they were definitely unable to sell it at any price. This was because there were simply too many items in the market.

When would it be worth it? It would have to wait until Europe was baptized by two world wars before these third and fourth tier cultural relics could become valuable.

Only by relying on the destruction from the war could the goods on the street become top-notch!

War had never been a rarity in Europe. In the future, the scale of the war would only increase with each passing war. If they continued to hoard some third or fourth tier cultural relics, their rewards would definitely be astronomical!

Xiao Letian was very clear that humans had been living in the constant nightmare of war until the second world war. It could be said that any country lacked a sense of security, and local and all-out wars were on the verge of breaking out.

In this kind of setting, it was very difficult for the cultural relic market to flourish, so before the second world war, it was always a good time for Xiao Letian to take a big bite out of cultural relics.

Only after the end of the Second World War, when mankind possessed nuclear weapons that could completely destroy them, would the war maniacs show signs of restraint, and the ambitions of the various races to expand would also be greatly restricted.

When the war was forcefully suppressed, Earth would enter a relatively long period of peace. At that time, the global collection market would be in full swing!

Without the threat of war, mankind would enter a peaceful and prosperous era, at that time, only people who had nothing better to do would be interested in starting a large-scale sale for antiques and literature. At that time, even a little collection that Xiao Letian casually looted from Rosenberg would become his auction house's most precious item.

"A person has to scheme for eternity! "Right now, let's fight for a little more. In the future, this will be the welfare of our grandchildren!"

Men have to have a big pattern, men can't always lower their heads to pull the carriage, more often also have to look up at the road!

The more profound one's vision was, the bigger the structure of their chest would be. Most of these men would be very successful!

Other than that, the three Franco-Prussian war lords who had been drinking and dining at Rosenberg had a vastly different opinion and judgement on cultural relics.

Lao Maoqi was a pure soldier, he was not too interested in these kinds of sculptures, paintings, collections, etc.

He himself didn't like this stuff, he preferred to study military affairs when he had time!

Bismark saw things more carefully. He was still very interested in culture and had collected a lot of fine antiques!

He just felt that this item had a little value, but its value was definitely not as important as railway network, Steel plant, chemical industry, military industry, or new technology.

Today, Xiao Letian was clearly going to rob this dumb big shot, the Frenchman.

Besides, isn't it good to see the French get beaten? If he were to use the French cultural relics as a favor, the transaction would definitely be worth it!

Bismark and Lao Maoqi turned a blind eye to Xiao Letian's greed, and did not obstruct him at all. In the end, in the next few days, an extremely strange piece of news came out from the Prussian army.

Many soldiers were secretly saying that the Eastern Führer was buying trophies at a high price, and that all French antiques, such as statues, paintings, and works of art, were being purchased at a high price by the Chinese.

"Have you heard? Fat Jerry of the cookhouse, tinkering with an Italian oil painting from the village... Two paintings the size of Bibles have been traded for two pounds in a Chinese camp! "

"Yes, yes. I heard it was painted by someone called Titian or something …" What kind of weird name is this!? "

"What are you guys talking about? I just received news that the Fourth Division's Crown Cavalry Battalion had a surprise attack on Bi Qi. It is said that he had unintentionally found some Chinese cultural relics, and it is said that the French stole them from the Qing Empire's summer palace! "

"In the end, that Company Commander sent those bronze artifacts to the Leader's camp. How much did you guess the reward would be? A hundred and fifty pounds! "

"Really? All settled in sterling? "

"Yes, all hard currency and sterling!"

The messages spread further and further. The Prussian military officers pretended not to hear them, and with the indulgence of these military officers, the Prussian army began a mad looting of French cultural relics.

Many small groups rushed to various villages and towns, neither robbing for food nor chickens and ducks, much less flirting with beautiful girls. These people broke into all the other rich families and plundered some of the slightly old things that could be seen with a bit of history.

Even the candlesticks of the fourteenth century! The entire northeastern French border was covered in the thick smoke of the Prussian army.

And these few days, Xiao Letian, Bismark and the others were at Rosenberg controlling the battle, so these cultural relics started to gather towards Xiao Letian.

This was daylight robbery! The Famous Painting s were taken away after being given five or six pounds. Xiao Letian had used scales to weigh all the gold crosses in the twelfth century.

An ancient sculpture from the Aegean Sea, one could tell that it was the style of the Ancient Rome. In the end, Xiao Letian gave his only 10 pounds for the reason that the marble was damaged.

Bismark could not stand to see the shameless evil merchant's face, but he could not say anything about it. After all, these things were the property of the French and also belonged to the soldiers.

Xiao Letian was very cunning, he had long prepared for this. He had already printed a large number of uniform specifications contracts in Berlin, these purchase contracts were specially made for the purchase of cultural relics.

All the acquisition of a cultural relic required the signature of the soldiers. The Chinese government officials wrote down the details of the cultural relic, as well as the transaction price and time and place.

This was an official document that had the force of law!

What Xiao Letian was prepared to do was for the Frenchmen to settle their debts. When the time came, they would be able to provide a legal contract for trading every cultural relic, so even if the Europeans were to be furious about it, they would not be able to do anything about it.

"Report to the Führer! The first three hundred cultural relics have been boxed, the contracts and cultural relics have been sent to the carriage and are ready to be transported to the hamburger! "

"Hm!" Don't be in such a hurry, go to hamburger and ask the Prussian law firm to testify, then go back to the Netherlands, Belgium, Switzerland … When the country's legal institutions contact each other, let's spend a bit more money and let them sign a certificate! "

"F * ck, we have to complete the procedures no matter what!" In a few hundred years, those shameless French large nose will come and fight with us again! "

"Understood!" Rest assured Head of State, I guarantee that this matter will be handled well! "

Xiao Letian smiled as he caressed those wood box s that were emitting the fragrance of pine trees. It was as gentle as if he was facing his own lover. "Go home with your godfather, and your godfather will love you …"
