The rise of great powers: starting from military industry

The night was as dark as ink, the best night for killing.

One by one, the figures quietly bypassed the villagers and moved towards the temple.

The Sri Padmanabhaswamy Temple at night was tall and mysterious, and the figures in dark clothes quietly approached the temple.

These were all special forces, and they were all very skilled.

A yawning monk guarding the temple patrolled the temple with a lamp. As a Brahmin temple, there must be donations from many believers, and in order to prevent malicious peeping, the necessary guarding force is also inevitable.

However, these civilian guards are no match for the special forces.

The first thing to do was to cut off the telephone lines and guard the important traffic points.

Everyone's gun was equipped with a silencer.

The patrolling monk was knocked out silently and controlled.

Soon, everyone in the temple was knocked out and controlled.

Everyone was given an injection, enough to let them sleep until tomorrow morning.

Then one person was left to guard.

The Sri Padmanabhaswamy Temple is not small, with several unconnected buildings.

In front of a somewhat dilapidated building, Liu Tao put on a gas mask and a chemical protective suit, and so did the other special forces.

No one knew if there was any danger inside.

The special forces led the way in front and entered the building. They saw densely carved statues of gods inside, with the Hindu Burning God statue in the middle.

"Dong Dong Dong~~"

Liu Tao and his men carefully knocked around the gun, and suddenly heard a hollow sound.

Then they opened it, and after prying open the wall bricks, they found a different world inside.

Everyone entered it, and as soon as they entered the cave, they were stunned.

A large number of gold ornaments were piled up like a mountain, and the most conspicuous one was a golden elephant as tall as a person.

On the other side, there were a large number of boxes piled here.

Everyone was fascinated by the gold, and their faces exuded fascination.

The impact brought by such a large amount of gold was too amazing.

After a while, Liu Tao was the first to wake up. He picked up a saber and pried open a box, which was full of various gold coins.

"Everyone start to move and move everything away!" Liu Tao said in a deep voice.

He didn't know how many gold coins and gold there were, and there was no time to count them at this time.

The most urgent thing was to move the things away and rush to the dock.

It would be best to get things done before dawn, which would be the safest.

Boxes of treasures were moved outside and loaded onto trucks, and then transported away.

Those scattered ones were also cleaned up by the soldiers in accordance with their glorious tradition.

Before dawn, all the treasures had been transported away.

Before leaving, the soldiers had time to restore the wall that had been pried open to its original state, clean the floor, and even send the monks who were knocked unconscious and injected with sleeping pills to their original positions, and then give them an injection of cleaning agent, and they would wake up in about twenty minutes.

Even the cut telephone lines were connected by the soldiers.

When Liu Tao and his companions retreated, it was just dawn.

No one knew what incredible things had happened here at night.

When Liu Tao and his companions arrived at the dock, the dock was already fully prepared. They left the car and boarded the boat, which set sail for Yangcheng.

In a warehouse at Yangcheng Port.

All the things had been moved to this large warehouse.

At this time, dozens of people were counting.

Finally, the counting was completed, and the harvest was finally counted.

73.8 tons of gold and jewelry, 42.6 tons of silver coins and jewelry.

The most conspicuous one was a life-size golden Buddha statue, which was lying on the body of a snake. They spent a lot of effort to move it into the car.

In addition, there were a large number of diamonds and gems, which also reached 5.2 tons and were worth about a billion dollars.

The current international gold price has reached $683.9 per ounce due to the turmoil in the Middle East, the unstable world situation, and the depreciation of the US dollar.

This means that gold and jewelry alone, even if calculated according to the gold price, can be sold for $1.623 billion.

Of course, there are many gold ornaments here, which can definitely be sold for more.

And those silver and ornaments are also worth a lot of money.

Selling them at the price of gold and silver will definitely be a big loss.

So Liu Tao plans to sell these as antiques as much as possible, or make gold and silver into ornaments to sell, so as to maximize the profit.

However, such a big thing, he has to report to the superiors.

Before leaving for the capital, Liu Tao commended the soldiers who participated in this operation.

"Comrades, you have successfully completed this task. On behalf of the party and the country, I thank you for your efforts and contributions!" Liu Tao said loudly: "Everyone who participated in this time will be awarded a first-class merit once, and each person will be rewarded 20,000 yuan. Today's celebration banquet is specially for you to celebrate. After the mission is over, each of you will have a month's vacation!"

The soldiers couldn't help but applaud excitedly when they heard it.

Although they were fighting on the front line and went to Myanmar, Laos, Cambodia and other places to perform missions, none of them lacked honor. However, first-class merit is still very rare, because only a small number of special forces can get first-class merit.

As for material rewards, for the soldiers, it is not as important as a one-month vacation.

Because they can hardly spend money in the army, they send almost all of their monthly salary back home.

There are 200 special forces participating in the mission, and each of them is rewarded with 20,000 yuan, which is 4 million yuan.

But this little money is not worth mentioning compared with the wealth they brought back to the country.

That night, everyone ate and drank freely.

Because there is a special force stationed here, they are very safe.

They all trust their comrades very much.

Maybe they come from different special teams and special squadrons, but they often cooperate in carrying out tasks, and they trust them very much.

Because if you don't trust your comrades, you won't live long on the battlefield.

Liu Tao is also completely relaxed at this moment. Leaving the motherland makes him feel very insecure, especially drifting on the sea, sitting on a boat always makes him feel uneasy.

And now, he feels very at ease and relaxed.

Liu Tao celebrated with the soldiers. As for the first-class medal of honor, it will be made up later, and there will be a grand medal awarding ceremony.

Every time there are first-class merits, second-class merits, and third-class merits, a grand medal awarding ceremony will be held to give the soldiers great honor and take photos as a souvenir. At the same time, leaders will personally deliver the first-class meritorious service plaque to the soldiers' homes and hang the plaques on them personally.

For the soldiers, the "first-class meritorious service" plaque is a great honor and can bring honor to their family.

Liu Tao drank a lot of wine. This mission can be said to be fast, accurate, and ruthless!

In a very short time, the temple treasure was completed.

Although it seems to be only one day of execution, there is a lot of preliminary work to be done.
