Treasure Hunt all over the World

Chapter 3070 The small plane that was shot down

The Tigray state government and the top Orthodox Church kept their promises.

By around seven o'clock in the evening, all the fanatical Orthodox believers and monks gathered around the hotel had all evacuated, and there was not a single one left.

The entrance of the hotel, which was originally impenetrable, and the nearby streets suddenly became empty, leaving only some policemen on duty and heavily armed soldiers of the TIPF.

Seeing this scene, everyone in the tripartite joint exploration team breathed a sigh of relief and finally relaxed.

At the same time, everyone really felt how huge and amazing the influence of the Ethiopian Orthodox Church in Axum is.

If they wanted to, they could encourage those fanatical Orthodox believers and monks to occupy the city and completely drown the tripartite joint exploration team.

Thinking of this, everyone feels a little heavy.

Ye Tian stood at the side of the suite window, glanced at the situation outside the hotel, then left the window and walked into the living room.

In the living room, Joshua, Bishop of Kent, and David and others were sitting on the sofa, discussing the upcoming joint exploration operation.

After walking into the living room, Ye Tian also sat down on the sofa, and said solemnly:

"Everyone has seen the situation outside, right? I think the Tigray State government and those high-ranking Orthodox Church figures are a bit of a demonstration, and they have indeed achieved their goal.

In Axum, their influence is too great. It can be said that the entire city is under their control. Only by cooperating with them can we start exploration operations.”

"Indeed, although Axum is an important commercial city and cargo distribution center in northern Ethiopia, it is also a religious holy place, basically under the control of the church.

Even the Tigray State Government and the Tigray State Government have far less influence in this city than the Church, and that is why we must cooperate with the Orthodox Church.”

Joshua nodded.

"There is no problem with cooperation, but if we really find Solomon's treasure and the Ark of the Covenant here, there may be problems, and it will be very troublesome!"

Hearing Ye Tian's words, everyone at the scene nodded.

Everyone is aware of this, but can't think of a good solution.

Then we talked a little more,

Ye Tian changed the subject.

"Joshua, several places we are going to explore tomorrow, many of them are exposed in the wilderness, the surroundings are unobstructed, and some are still on the top of the mountain. You must do a good job of security."

"Understood, Steven, I'll tell Seaman and the others when I turn back, and ask them to rush to those exploration locations tomorrow to check, and only after it's safe, you can take people out of the car to start the exploration."

Joshua continued.

"The focus is on the deserted castle on the top of the mountain and the Obelisk Square. These two places have the most complex terrain. We should stay there for a long time, so we need to check carefully."

"Understood, I will let Seaman and the others focus on investigating these two places"

After chatting for a few more words, the Bishop of Kent suddenly asked curiously:

"Steven, when you visited the Church of St. Mary of Mount Zion and the Chapel of the Holy Trinity today, did you find anything? Are there any major secrets hidden in and around those two ancient religious buildings?"

Ye Tian shook his head, smiled and said:

"It's a pity that I didn't find anything around those two famous religious buildings. They are very tightly protected, and we can't get close or enter at all.

Under such circumstances, it is impossible to find anything. Naturally, we have no way of knowing whether the Ark of the Covenant stored in the Chapel of the Holy Trinity is true or not! "

Hearing this, both Joshua and the Bishop of Kent nodded, and a look of disappointment flashed in their eyes at the same time.

After discussing for a while and making some preparations for tomorrow's exploration, Joshua and the others left.

Subsequently, David and others also left one after another.

When he was alone in the suite, Ye Tian immediately took out the satellite phone and started talking to Mathis.

The phone was connected in a blink of an eye, and he asked directly:

"Matisse, tell me about the small seaplane you shot down just now. Did you find out? Who rented that small seaplane?"

Just five or six minutes ago, Ye Tian was discussing with Joshua and the others about the upcoming exploration operation tomorrow.

Mattis suddenly announced through a wireless stealth headset that they had just shot down a small seaplane with a needle shoulder-fired anti-aircraft missile over Lake Tana, killing one person and seriously injuring two people in the plane.

After the words fell, Matisse immediately began to introduce the situation.

"It's like this, Steven, just in the evening, a small seaplane suddenly flew from the direction of Vorota, passed through the mist on the lake, and flew straight to the operating waters of the joint exploration fleet.

After discovering this small seaplane, we immediately issued a warning to it to leave the area, otherwise an attack would be launched, but the other party pretended not to hear it and continued to fly regardless.

We alerted Mustafa and the Ethiopian military as the small seaplane crossed the waters where the sunken treasure was being salvaged, and then shot it down with needle anti-aircraft missiles.

After the small seaplane was hit, it fell on the lake. I immediately sent a speedboat to check the situation. It turned out that there were three people in this small seaplane, one dead and two seriously injured.

The man who died was a guy from Europe who was said to be a professional treasure hunter. The small plane pilot and another European man survived, but they were all incapacitated.

We investigated just now. These two guys and some other people followed the tripartite joint exploration team all the way from Israel to Gondar in Ethiopia, and they died here! "

Hearing the notification, Ye Tian couldn't help sneering a few times.

"It's their own death, no one else is to blame, but it may cause some trouble, I will contact Mustafa later and let the Ethiopian government take care of it.

When you told me the news just now, I thought it was that bastard Cook or his subordinates who were shot down. If it was those bastards, it would be great, but it's a pity that they escaped! "

"Hahaha, at first I thought it was Cook's bastards, but it turned out not to be them. It's a pity! After this incident, the rest of the guys who were hiding and peeping immediately scattered and fled!"

Mattis laughed.

Next, Ye Tian asked some other questions before ending the call.

Then he dialed the satellite phone in Mustafa's hand.

On the phone, he told his old friend to let the Ethiopian government take over the matter and deal with any trouble that might arise.

While he was talking to Mustafa, that fellow Cook was cursing hysterically in a fishing boat on Lake Tana.

"Fack! This bastard Steven's subordinates are a bunch of fucking lunatics and butchers, how dare they shoot down flying seaplanes with shoulder-fired missiles!

Fortunately, I didn't take a seaplane to fly to that water area, otherwise I would be the one who was shot down by the missile, and it's so fucking worthless to be killed like this! "

While cursing loudly, Cook had a frightened expression on his face, and even his legs were trembling slightly.

Just a few hours ago, because he couldn't find a suitable boat, he also thought about renting a small seaplane and flying to the center of the lake to check the situation.

Fortunately, just as they were about to rent a small seaplane, they happened to see a fishing boat returning to the port.

They immediately rented the fishing boat at a high price, filled up the fuel, brought a lot of supplies and exploration equipment, and then drove to the center of Lake Tana to check the situation.

Not long after arriving here, they saw a small seaplane shot down by a shoulder-fired anti-aircraft missile and crashed onto the lake.

Seeing this scene, Cook's blood ran cold, and everyone was terrified.

They immediately turned the bow and sailed to the distance quickly.

It wasn't until they were far away from the waters where the joint exploration fleet operated and disappeared into the mist on the lake that they gradually slowed down and anchored on the lake.

After venting frantically for a while, Cook calmed down a little.

Immediately afterwards, he asked his exploration team members and security personnel.

"Guys, those bastards under Steven are too ruthless, it is almost impossible to approach the waters where they salvage the treasure left over from World War II from the air and the lake.

Can we go underwater? Put on the diving suit, use the diving propeller, under the cover of night, advance to the working water area, dive into the bottom of the lake to find out the treasure? "

Before the words fell, several divers shook their heads firmly.

"This is absolutely impossible, boss, there is no hope at all, and it is very dangerous. We will never take this risk and approach the working water area from underwater!"

"There are many ferocious Nile crocodiles swimming in this water area. If we rush into the water, we will only become snacks for those Nile crocodiles!"

"As far as I know, the lake in this area of ​​Lake Tana is very deep, the depth is most likely to exceed 70 meters, and the visibility at the bottom of the lake is very poor, and the terrain at the bottom of the lake is not familiar to everyone.

In this case, if there is no boat to provide support on the lake, and if there is no deep dive decompression station in the middle of the lake, taking a deep dive rashly is tantamount to asking for a dead end! "

Hearing this, Cook was immediately dumbfounded.

After a while, he came to his senses, and then roared unwillingly:

"Then what should we do? Should we just watch and watch this astonishing treasure being swept away by that bastard Steven? The treasure is so close at hand, I really don't want to just leave empty-handed like this!"

Everyone else at the scene looked at each other in blank dismay, everyone's eyes were full of unwillingness, but they were very helpless.

After a moment of silence, a subordinate suddenly said:

"Boss, we want to snatch this shocking treasure on the surface of Lake Tana and deep in the bottom of the lake. There is basically no possibility. Not only will we not succeed, but it will cost everyone's life.

That being the case, there is no need to take this risk, it is not cost-effective at all! We are keeping a close eye on this joint exploration fleet. After salvaging the treasure, they are going to land after all.

After they land on land with the gold and silver treasures in this shipwreck treasure, it will not be too late for us to find a chance to do it. That may be our only chance and the best chance! "

Cook's eyes suddenly lit up, shining brightly.

Immediately afterwards, the guy nodded vigorously and said:

"That's right, these bastards under Steven are going to land after all. After they land, we will start to snatch this astonishing treasure. I will never be willing to go back empty-handed like this!"

Everyone else nodded, and everyone regained hope.

The same scene is happening simultaneously in many boats on Lake Tana and in many places around Lake Tana, with similar content with minor differences!

...

This is the second day after the tripartite joint exploration team arrived in Axum, and the weather is fine.

As many Orthodox monks and believers who were protesting and demonstrating left, a large number of media reporters rushed over and stood at the door of the hotel where the tripartite joint exploration team stayed, waiting for an interview opportunity.

Near nine o'clock in the morning, many vehicles of the joint exploration convoy suddenly drove to the hotel entrance.

Seeing this scene, those media reporters immediately understood.

The tripartite joint exploration team is about to set off to start an exploration operation in Axum.

After confirming this point, these media reporters immediately became excited.

They set up long guns and short cannons one after another, aiming at the main entrance of the hotel, preparing to shoot and interview.

About five minutes later, accompanied by the deputy mayor of Axum, representatives of the Tirenjin, and representatives of the Orthodox Church, Ye Tian and Joshua walked out of the hotel gate, ready to get in the car and leave.

Seeing them coming out, the media reporters guarding the hotel entrance immediately began to ask questions loudly.

"Good morning, Mr. Steven, I'm a reporter from The New York Times. May I ask, are you going to launch an exploration operation? Can you tell me where you are going to explore?"

"Good morning, Minister Joshua. I am a reporter from Israel National Television. May I ask, where do you think the treasure of Solomon and the Ark of the Covenant are hidden in Axum? Will it be in the Church of St. Mary on Mount Zion?"

Hearing the questions from these media reporters, Ye Tian, ​​Joshua and the bishop of Kent immediately smiled at each other, and then stopped in their tracks.

Axum is not like Gondar, nor is it like anywhere else.

Here, they must use all available power to contain the Tigray State Government and the PFLP, as well as the Ethiopian Orthodox Church, so that the Ethiopians will be a little more scruples.

The attention of the world's major news media and the Ethiopian media is a force that can be used, and the power of these media is not small and cannot be ignored.

Especially for Tigray State and the PFLP, when they are at war with the Ethiopian government, they pay more attention to their international image, so as to win more sympathy and support.

Ye Tian glanced at these media reporters, then smiled and said loudly:

"Good morning, friends from the media, thank you for your attention to this tripartite joint exploration operation. The purpose of our visit to Axum is clear to everyone, so I will not introduce it anymore.

Today is the second day after the tripartite joint exploration team arrived in Axum. We will officially start the exploration operation. Due to the need for confidentiality, the specific exploration location is temporarily inconvenient to disclose.

What I can tell you is that if the tripartite joint exploration team makes a major discovery in Axum, we will announce it to the public in time and broadcast it live. Please pay attention! "

Before the words fell, several media reporters began to ask questions loudly.

But Ye Tian didn't respond. Instead, he raised his hand to Joshua, the bishop of Kent, and the deputy mayor of Axum, indicating that he could interview them.

Following his action, many media reporters immediately shifted their targets and began to ask those few questions.

Next, Joshua and the Bishop of Kent stood up and answered some questions that media reporters were concerned about.

They are very optimistic about the tripartite joint exploration team's actions in Axum, hoping to create another miracle and discover the remaining part of Solomon's treasure.

In order to avoid provoking Ethiopian Orthodox believers and monks, they did not mention the Ark of the Covenant.

Many media reporters also understand this, so they didn't ask too much.

After they finished the interview, the deputy mayor of Axum in charge of culture and tourism also stood up and accepted a joint interview with media reporters.

What he said were just some official clichés, without any nutrition or value.

Afterwards, Ye Tian and the others boarded the joint exploration convoy and left here by car!
