Chapter 401 Handover of Cultural Relics
401
It turned out that Tang Yue didn't understand Maozi Mandarin. Dongfang Yi was still very happy in his heart. If Tang Yue didn't know Maozi Mandarin, she probably wouldn't have noticed a little person like him, right?
"He asked if we could leave now?"
Tang Yue silently recalled how this sentence was said and what it meant. General Igorevich was not in a good mood at the moment. He had a premonition that this handover would not go smoothly.
But why wasn't it going smoothly? They were already in Moscow. Wouldn't it be more difficult for those who wanted to rob the goods to do so once they were in the city? He couldn't figure it out.
But the feeling of being watched along the way was unmistakable.
"Be vigilant and do not be careless until the goods are delivered to the other party."
"Yes, General. I will pass on the order."
Tang Yue looked at Dongfang Yi, who quickly repeated their conversation to her. Tang Yue was very satisfied. Indeed, having a translator made a difference.
She was now considering the possibility of taking him on a tour of the Russian country. However, this would have to be put off until later, as they had already entered the city center.
"Where is this?" Tang Yue had not learned the name of any city since entering the Russian country.
"This is Mosco."
General Igorevich led the convoy slowly into the city center, where a magnificent building came into view. This building was in typical Russian style, with tall stone pillars supporting a heavy roof and walls constructed from massive stone blocks, intricately carved with patterns. In the afterglow of the setting sun, it exuded an air of simplicity and solemnity.
In front of the building, there is a wide square paved with stone slabs, with several sculptures standing in it, showing the history and glory of the Russian Empire.
"Is this the government office?" Tang Yue didn't think so.
Dongfang Yi was very familiar with Moscow. "This is the office building behind the largest museum in Moscow. I wonder why this general came here?"
Tang Yue's eyes turned slightly cold. These Russians really have no shame at all. What's the difference between this and directly sending the cultural relics to their own museum?
The car stopped, and the soldiers immediately got out and stood on both sides of the road, ready for battle. General Igorevich straightened his uniform, got out of the car, looked up at the building before him, and walked in with a steady pace.
Tang Yue and Dongfang Yi got out of the car. Tang Yue casually followed General Igorevich inside, while Dongfang Yi followed behind Tang Yue, so nervous that he dared not breathe.
"Um, Tang Yue, they won't find us, right? Oh my god, I'm telling you, the guns they hold are real, not an exaggeration at all."
"Just do your job well." Tang Yue walked in while observing the decoration of the office building.
As soon as you enter, you will see a spacious hall with extremely high ceilings. A huge crystal chandelier hangs from the ceiling, and the bright lights illuminate the entire hall like daylight.
The floor was paved with expensive marble, shining brightly. The walls around the hall were hung with huge oil paintings depicting war scenes and heroic deeds of the Russian Empire.
At the end of the hall, a senior general in a gorgeous military uniform stood waiting. General Igorevich quickly stepped forward, stood at attention, and saluted. "Comrade General Borisovich, I have been ordered to escort the cultural relics here safely. Please accept them!"
As he spoke, he waved his hand, and the soldiers behind him carried boxes containing cultural relics and entered one after another.
General Borisovich formally returned the greeting, nodded slightly, and, glancing over the boxes, said in Maozi, "General Igorevich, thank you for your hard work. This mission was well accomplished. These artifacts concern the history and dignity of our nation and must be properly preserved."
General Igorevich quickly responded: "Yes, Comrade General Borisovich, I will definitely fulfill my mission."
Dongfang Yi translated non-stop behind Tang Yue. Hearing them say these cultural relics were related to the country's history and dignity, a sneer crossed Tang Yue's lips. How could they say such shameless words?
As expected, after being a thief for a long time, they think everything belongs to them.
General Borisovich raised his hand and waved forward, and many people rushed out from all corners of the hall and upstairs. The soldiers armed themselves well, and there were also some Russians who looked quite old mixed in.
General Borisovich politely said to the bespectacled old man who led the group, "Mr. Viktorovich, these cultural relics are now handed over to you. I hope you can describe their historical events as soon as possible.
Our museum will be much more enriched.”
"Please rest assured, General, we will do our best." Mr. Viktorovich responded solemnly.
Dongfang Yi was translating, his voice trembling. Tang Yue didn't know what he was trembling about, so while the two sides were talking, she asked, "What are you excited about?"
Dongfang Yi's eyes never left Mr. Viktorovich. "That's Mr. Viktorovich. He holds a very high status in Russia. I heard he's a leader in the cultural relics world. Oh my God, I didn't expect to see him here. I'm so lucky."
Tang Yue scoffed, but since the two sides had different perspectives, she wouldn't comment. But she knew the faces of these cultural relics experts by heart. She'd marked them, and she'd visit their homes in the evenings.
"Tang Yue, shall we leave?" Dongfang Yi felt too unsafe. This place was surrounded by Russian soldiers and he didn't know if he and Tang Yue could leave.
Knowing that these things would soon be sorted in this building, Tang Yue was no longer anxious. Letting them clean up would also save the Chinese side the trouble.
There was a nice hotel nearby, and Tang Yue took Dongfang Yi straight in. Dongfang Yi felt his heart pounding as he passed the front desk, and followed them into the elevator. Tang Yue already knew which rooms were empty, so after getting out of the elevator, they went to the two adjacent rooms.
Tang Yue opened the door of a room and said, "You rest here first." Dongfang Yi was very calm at this moment and went in without asking anything.
Tang Yue went to the next room by herself, ready to rest for a while. She had grown fond of sleeping every day. After so many days of running around, even though her body was fine, she felt like something was missing.
In the evening, Tang Yue took Dongfang Yi directly to the hotel restaurant. As soon as they arrived at the door, they saw a large group of people gathered there. It was obvious that they were all together. Furthermore, Tang Yue spotted someone she knew.
After they checked the meal vouchers, Tang Yue followed them in. "When did you arrive?"
As soon as Kong Xiangwei picked up the plate, he heard the voice he had been hoping to hear. He held the plate steadily in his hand and then used the tongs to pick up two pieces of bread as if nothing had happened.
"We just arrived this afternoon. We were picked up directly by plane. The farms and cities surrounding the research base have all been in trouble, and now the entire Russian country is under martial law. They were worried about the safety of the train, so they brought us here by plane."
Tang Yue hadn't expected her looting of those cities to cause such a chain reaction. Kong Xiangwei continued to select food. "Oh, by the way, the 15-day deadline we agreed on last time needs to be moved forward."
Without waiting for Tang Yue's response, he continued, "Because there have been incidents in many places, the government leaders are worried about accidents at the research center, so they've moved up the launch time. This seminar was originally scheduled for three days, but it's now shortened to one and a half days.
We will be back to work the day after tomorrow afternoon. We expect to have the satellite shipped away in seven days."
Tang Yue didn't expect them to be so anxious, but that was fine. "Okay, I understand. During the meeting, you can ask the others about their wishes. If they agree, I will pick them up at the address."
Kong Xiangwei took his plate and found an empty table to sit down, speaking more casually. He knew that as long as he sat down, other Russians would not come.
"Can you take us away early? If anything happens at the satellite research center, we'll definitely be the first to be suspected and abused."
"Sure, Tang Yue is sitting opposite and eating." The food here is not very tasty, but Tang Yue is not a picky eater and swallows it with force.
Kong Xiangwei was obviously relieved. "I have already informed several people in our lab."
