Treasure Hunt all over the World

Ten minutes later, the tripartite joint exploration convoy drove out of the urban area of ​​Gondar and headed straight for northern Ethiopia along the rough road.

Because it was still early and Ethiopians had a loose attitude towards life, many people hadn't gotten up yet, so there were not many pedestrians and vehicles on the road.

For the tripartite joint exploration team, this is undoubtedly a good thing and can reduce a lot of trouble.

It didn't take long for the convoy to drive into the mountains north of Gondar.

There are fewer pedestrians and vehicles on the road, but the scenery outside is more and more beautiful, with rolling hills and green grass.

And in the city of Gondar, as well as in many other places, those who are closely watching the tripartite joint exploration team have received the news.

In a hotel in the city of Gondar, Cook was on the phone with his subordinates.

"Boss, that bastard Steven has left Gondar with the tripartite joint exploration team and set off for the holy city of Axum in Tigray State. Should we continue to follow up or do something?"

One of his employees said through the mobile phone, reporting the latest situation to Cook.

Hearing this news, Cook couldn't help but froze for a moment.

After a while, he gritted his molars and said:

"Focus on that bastard Steven and the three-party joint exploration team for me. You don't need to do anything for the time being, just keep an eye on them. Tigray State is not Amhara State.

The situation there is more complicated. Whether the tripartite joint exploration team can successfully enter Tigray State is a problem. The next exploration operation will definitely be full of difficulties.

Axum is not Gondar either. If that bastard Steven wants to lead a team to explore Solomon's treasure and the Ark of the Covenant in Axum, he will definitely encounter countless obstacles and even attacks.

Our primary goal is the treasure left over from World War II hidden near Gondar, not the Solomon treasure and the Ark of the Covenant that may be hidden in Axum.

I have received news that I can probably determine the location of this treasure left over from World War II. I just don’t know the exact coordinates, but I can start action.

If we can't get this treasure left over from World War II, it won't be too late to go to Axum, I won't believe it, and we will never be able to beat that bastard Steven! "

"Understood, boss, I will let people continue to watch the tripartite joint exploration team, waiting for your instructions"

The man said,

The call ended immediately.

The same scene happened in many places at the same time, with similar content.

At the same time, there are some guys who are keeping an eye on Ye Tian and the three-party joint exploration team, and they have also taken action.

Through various means, either by car or by plane, they flooded into Tigray Prefecture and headed straight for the holy city of Axum.

Among these people, there are not only professional treasure hunters, but also local militants, gangsters, tribal armed forces, and many religious fanatics.

In the blink of an eye, it was already around twelve o'clock in the morning.

The convoy of the three-party joint exploration team entered a valley and was traveling through the valley.

On both sides of this valley, there are patches of dense forests, and the terrain is quite steep.

Not long after entering this valley, Ye Tian noticed that the atmosphere here seemed a bit wrong, or a bit tense.

On this road along the valley, there were only the three-party joint exploration convoy and numerous escorting Ethiopian military and police vehicles, and there were no other social vehicles, nor was there a single person in sight.

More importantly, in the forests on both sides of the valley, animals are rarely seen, and the quietness is a bit weird.

But above the forest, there was a group of birds hovering, no matter how they refused to land in the forest.

Seeing this scene, Ye Tian immediately picked up the walkie-talkie and said to the security personnel:

"Guys, everyone, be vigilant and prepare for battle. The situation in this valley is a bit wrong. Someone may be ambushing here, trying to attack the three-party joint exploration convoy.

If you encounter an attack later, the first thing everyone should do is to protect the safety of the company's employees, protect your own safety, wait for my order, and wait for the opportunity to rush out of this narrow valley."

As soon as the voice fell, the response of many security personnel came from the intercom.

"Got it, Steven, we know what to do!"

Immediately afterwards, Ye Tian said to Seaman through the walkie-talkie:

"Himan, the situation in this valley is not right, there may be someone ambushing the tripartite joint exploration convoy here, you must be vigilant and be ready to fight at any time.

This valley is the only way for Gondar to go to Axum. It is not surprising that we encountered an ambush here, and the terrain here is also conducive to an ambush.

If the tripartite joint exploration convoy is really attacked, I suggest that the convoy not stay here for a long time, break through all obstacles, and rush out of this valley directly, that would be safer."

"Understood, Steven, leave these matters to us, we must protect the tripartite joint exploration team, I will contact the Ethiopian military and police immediately, and let them be more vigilant!"

Seaman replied in a deep voice, and acted quickly.

Soon, two small drones were released by the Israelis, and quickly flew over the forests on both sides of the road, trying to detect the situation in the forest.

At the same time, everyone in the tripartite joint exploration team quickly put on body armor and made preparations for contingencies.

The convoy was still moving forward, but due to the very bad road conditions, the speed could not be raised.

While driving, the Ethiopian military and police vehicles that opened the way in front of the convoy suddenly issued a stop warning and stopped quickly.

The following three-party joint exploration convoy and other Ethiopian military and police vehicles also had to step on the brakes and stop on this road.

As soon as the convoy stopped, Ye Tian picked up the walkie-talkie and asked:

"What happened in front? Seaman, why did the Ethiopian military and police stop suddenly?"

The next moment, Seaman's slightly exasperated voice came from the walkie-talkie.

"Damn it! Steven, on the road not far ahead, there are people praying in the middle of the road. They are a few Orthodox believers in their sixties, wearing white robes.

They laid a carpet in the middle of the road, and several people were praying. Obviously, the purpose of these Orthodox believers was to prevent the tripartite joint exploration team from going to Axum!

Behind them, there is still a cross. Someone is carrying a camera to shoot. Maybe they are doing live TV or webcast, so they must have come prepared! "

Hearing that this was the case, Ye Tian's face immediately changed, and he also had a headache.

After thinking for a moment, he said through the walkie-talkie:

"Himan, find a way to find out the origins of those people first, and determine whether they are fanatical believers from Tigray State or Orthodox fanatics from other parts of Ethiopia.

If it is a fanatical believer from Tigray State, then let the representatives of the Tigray State Government and the PFLP come forward to solve this trouble and see if you can let those guys leave.

If they are Orthodox believers from other parts of Ethiopia, then only representatives of the Ethiopian government, religious circles, and military representatives can negotiate.

In any case, the tripartite joint exploration team cannot directly resolve this matter. In that case, once a conflict occurs, we will never even think about entering Tigray State and Axum.

Those fanatical Orthodox believers in Axum will definitely flood us like a tide and completely drown us! If I'm not wrong, those guys are waiting for us to send someone to come forward!

During the negotiation process, everyone must be vigilant to prevent attacks from the mountains and forests on both sides. To be honest, this is the first time I have seen such a situation, and it is a bit of a headache.”

"Understood, Steven, we will contact the Ethiopians and ask them to send someone to solve this problem"

Seaman responded and ended the call.

"I'm going! We're not going to run into religious extremists in Ethiopia, are we? If that's the case, we'll be in trouble!"

David exclaimed, eyes full of worry.

Hearing this, Ye Tian nodded immediately.

"I'm afraid that's the case. The other party may really be an extremist of the Ethiopian Orthodox Church. Such people are not uncommon in Ethiopia.

When we enter Axum, we will encounter more fanatical Orthodox believers, and troubles like today are likely to continue to appear.”

While they were discussing, the Ethiopian military police who protected the tripartite joint exploration team had sent a car forward to negotiate with the Orthodox believers who were blocking the road.

Soon, the military and police vehicle approached each other and stopped in front of the carpet in the middle of the road.

Afterwards, two Ethiopian police officers and a government representative got out of the police car, approached the elderly Orthodox believers, and began to negotiate with each other.

After talking for a few words, the government representative and the policeman retreated and returned to the car.

Immediately afterwards, the police car drove towards the convoy.

After a while, Seaman's voice came from the intercom again.

"Steven, those Orthodox believers blocking the road ahead are not from Tigray and Axum, but believers from other parts of Ethiopia.

Their purpose is very simple, which is to prevent us from going to the holy city of Axum. They claim that the Ark of the Covenant is enshrined in the Church of St. Mary in Axum.

There is no need for the tripartite joint exploration team to go to Axum, and it is impossible to gain anything, so I hope we can go back and leave Ethiopia! "

Hearing the announcement, Ye Tian pondered for a while, and then said through the walkie-talkie:

"Since they are Orthodox believers from other parts of Ethiopia, let the Ethiopian government and representatives of the religious circles come forward to see if they can persuade them to leave.

Dealing with these religious fanatics should not be the same as dealing with militants and robbers. It is best to find ways to persuade them to avoid violent conflicts as much as possible.”

"Understood, Steven, the next step is to see the capabilities of the representatives of the Ethiopian government and religious circles"

Seaman responded.

Soon, under the escort of these heavily armed military police, representatives of the Ethiopian government and religious circles drove out of the convoy and drove straight to the place of worship ahead.

At the same time, Ye Tian also received the news.

There are indeed many people hidden in the forests on both sides of the valley.

Among these people, there are not only militants with guns, but also many Orthodox believers in robes.

They hid in the forest, stared at the movement on the road, ready to rush out from the forest at any time, support the few Orthodox believers on the road, and besieged the tripartite joint exploration convoy.

Hearing this news, Ye Tian couldn't help having another headache.

Issues related to religion are always the most sensitive and difficult to resolve.

If you are not careful, you may cause huge troubles.

When he was in the Arabian Peninsula and North Africa, Ye Tian was always worried that he would be attacked by extremists.

Fortunately, such a thing did not happen!

Or it only happened once, that bloody battle in Aswan!

But who would have imagined that when they arrived in Ethiopia in East Africa, the tripartite joint exploration team would be blocked by a group of fanatical Orthodox believers.

After the representatives of the Ethiopian government and religious circles arrived at the front, they immediately started negotiations with the other side.

From a distance, it seems that the negotiation is not going smoothly.

After talking for a while, the two sides quarreled, and the voice was very loud.

Especially those Ethiopian Orthodox believers in their 60s seemed to be very emotional, and they all blushed.

Seeing this scene, David couldn't help asking worriedly:

"Steven, what if the negotiation fails and the tripartite joint exploration team fails to pass through this valley? Are we still going to Axum? Is this the end of the tripartite joint exploration operation?"

Ye Tian turned to look at him, smiled and said:

"Don't worry, we have come to this point, and we have discovered part of Solomon's treasure in Gondar, which proves that Menelik I did bring Solomon's treasure to Ethiopia.

Under such circumstances, how could Israel and the Vatican just watch the tripartite joint exploration operation come to an end? They will definitely do their best to continue the operation at any cost.

If we can’t pass through this valley smoothly, we can only go back along the original road and take other roads to Axum, or if we can’t go by land, then fly to Axum, it’s not difficult at all.”

Hearing this, David was not only silent.

He thought for a moment, then nodded and said:

"Indeed, the discovery of Solomon's treasure hidden deep underground in the Noah's Ark Church, especially the discovery of the golden statues of the three kings of Israel, has completely ignited the enthusiasm of the Israelites.

This is probably the closest opportunity for the wandering Jews to find Solomon’s treasure and the Ark of the Covenant for more than two thousand years, and they will naturally not give up, even if they pay a huge price for it.”

While speaking, the representatives of the Ethiopian government and religious circles who had come forward to negotiate had retreated, and returned without success!

For a while, the situation fell into a stalemate.

Those Ethiopian Orthodox believers who were blocking the road had no intention of backing down.

The militants and Orthodox believers hiding in the forest on both sides of the road did not launch an attack immediately.

The three-party joint exploration team can't force their way through, as that will inevitably intensify the conflict and is not conducive to the development of follow-up exploration operations.

Faced with this situation, everyone has some headaches and can't think of a good solution.

Soon, Ye Tian's cell phone rang.

It was Joshua calling.

When the phone was connected, Joshua got straight to the point.

"Steven, do you have any good suggestions on how to deal with the situation in front of you? I hope this deadlock can be resolved!"

After pondering for a while, Ye Tian said:

"I do have some ideas, but it is not certain whether it will work. You can investigate the identities of these Orthodox believers who are blocking the road, and see which organization they come from, or who is behind them.

You can start with their organization or the people behind them, give them certain benefits and promises, understand them with reason, and lure them with benefits. Maybe you can break the deadlock in front of you, but you have to act fast!

We can't go on in a stalemate here, it's too dangerous, if it doesn't work, just go back the same way and take another route to Axum, all roads lead to Rome, there's no need for us to die here! "

"Understood, Steven, we will contact the organization behind these Orthodox believers, or the people behind them as soon as possible, hoping to resolve this matter smoothly"

Joshua responded.

After chatting for a few more words, they ended the call.

Soon, representatives of the Ethiopian government and religious circles came forward again to negotiate with those fanatical religious believers ahead.

The difference is that Israel and the Vatican also sent people to come forward this time.
