Chapter 526 Cultural Relics and Adventures
"The time is not right, and it takes more effort to deal with the general situation of the current situation. It will be half the result with twice the effort!" Meng Xiang said as he talked to Lu Sihua, Fan Zhong and others about Italy's actions.
The Italians not only carried out in East Africa and North Africa, but also opened up a battlefield in the Balkans. It seemed that the European war was already in full swing, but Meng Xiang knew that this was just the beginning. The prelude to the Soviet-German War had not yet begun, the Americans had not been involved, and even the war in North Africa and the German power had not intervened. These can be regarded as preludes of the world war.
"The time is here, those opportunities are always left to those who are prepared!" Meng Xiang couldn't help but sigh when he thought of the Americans who had already started the national military machine but were sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai and watched the fire from the other side of the river.
Who would have thought that this American who shouted isolationism had planned various plans as early as the 1920s to deal with emergencies, in order to quickly seize opportunities and dominate the world when opportunities come?
When the bomb of the ***erman was thrown to Pearl Harbor, Yamamoto Iroku might have peeked through the fog of history to see the American smiling face of the American conspiracy. The orange plan for the ***erman has been preparing for more than ten years, and finally it was placed from the safe to the commander's desk.
Behind the closed vault door, there are still various yellow, green, black and red plans. The names of China, Mexico, Germany, and even the United States' allies are clearly remembered on the list of attacked plans.
When Meng Xiang first planned to spy, he wanted to send someone to steal the plans and provoke them a little, but later gave up. No country was foolishly trusting any ally. It was not just the United States who had similar plans? Which country did not keep a hand? Those plans were announced were just rumors, and countries with close interests would still be allies. It was just a curse in informal occasions.
International storm events are already full of all kinds of dangers. In the face of risks, who can be unprepared?
Even the Soviet Union must first stabilize the country when fighting foreign countries and gather core forces to prepare for war? After the war began, the only voice of Stalin in the Soviet Union was undoubtedly an important reason why the Soviet Union persisted until the end.
Another pillar that may bring variables, Trotsky, has been assassinated. Meng Xiang can only express regrets about this. He only knows that Lenin's comrade-in-arms, the founder of the Soviet Red Army, and the founder of the Fourth International, was assassinated, but the specific situation is unclear. He sent someone to warn Trotsky several times, but he was still succeeded in August. Ramon, who started the attack, was his acquaintance, which made it difficult to guard against.
The only thing Meng Xiang could do was to use Trotsky's identity to add some information to the Soviet Union. He did not expect that just a list of Trotsky-related and funded Trotsky, with a little weapon and foreign exchange, the Central Asian region was sorted out by Lao S., killing it into a river, and the air in Central Asia contained the winter atmosphere in advance. He could only sigh that Lao S. was too fierce and would definitely be the master who would rather kill by mistake and never let go. In just one month, the pattern of Central Asia changed a lot, and even the spies he arranged sacrificed eight of them in this review.
But these eight attracted ten thousand times the burial, which made Meng Xiang sigh.
"People are as cheap as grass in troubled times!" Fan Zhong didn't know why Meng Xiang suddenly sighed, but he also sighed thoughtfully: "War is so cruel! Not only is life cheap, everything can be destroyed by war. I heard that London is now bombed by Germany, and many famous attractions have been blown up. Human civilization is lost bit by bit in the long river of history. Later generations can only reminisce about the past with words and images!"
"The people in the future may be much more convenient to guess what happened to us at this time. After all, we have left many words and images, which are not easy for us to remember our predecessors. For more ancient things, we can only guess more." Lu Sihua, who had been listening quietly next to him, smiled and interrupted, "However, in mid-September, four French teenagers discovered an ancient cave mural in the southwest of France, which showed us descendants a picture of ancient life. According to relevant personnel, the murals were at least 10,000 years ago."
"What were you drawn more than 10,000 years ago?" Fan Zong asked with a curious smile.
"Maybe he had drawn some hunting, sacrificial content, and some animal patterns." Lu Sihua did not see specific mural photos, but he did not miss some small details of European and American events, and found these contents from some newspapers and magazines.
The Pioneer Army's intelligence network not only ran out to collect, but also collected all kinds of printed matters from all over the world. In addition to local intelligence personnel analyzing, the original newspapers from various countries also concentrated in the China Intelligence Headquarters as soon as possible for reference research. Lu Sihua's analysis and judgment of European and American intelligence never missed those small details. Even for artistic purposes, it was easy to reveal some news. At this time, he just said it to activate the dull and depressing atmosphere just now, but Meng Xiang felt moved when he heard it.
The most famous French cave murals are the murals in the Slakirks cave. It was from the Paleolithic age, at least 15,000 years old.
"I heard that patterns have great artistic value, which has caused many French artists to come to watch. Even the Germans also went to observe and protected them. Art does not distinguish between national boundaries." Lu Sihua said with a smile.
"But art has boundaries! Our ancestors in China left us with so much precious artistic wealth, but they were destroyed by art robbers in those countries under various excuses. The remains of the Old Summer Palace still exists, and the incompleteness of Dunhuang murals are still there. They have obtained art, and we have obtained shame!" Meng Xiang said seriously,
"At the beginning, our Dunhuang murals were exquisite, and Dunhuang murals were also very artistic, but which international friend had protected them at that time? The most annoying thing is that we ourselves did not cherish them, and destroyed the artistic treasures left by our predecessors for our own selfishness!" Meng Xiang felt sorry for her, and couldn't help but feel harsh.
Fan Zhong knew as soon as he heard this, Meng Xiang was still angry about what happened a few days ago.
A few days ago, Meng Xiang received many pleads from people, all pointing to Zhang Daqian. Meng Xiang, who didn't understand this, asked someone to ask, and then he knew what was going on.
Since the Mogao Grottoes in Dunhuang were taken over by the Pioneer Army, they have been nationalized and have been protecting them. In addition to planning the Mogao Grottoes Research Institute here, Meng Xiang also specially arranged a squad of the armed police force there.
After robbery by the British, Russian, *** and Americans, Mogao Grottoes became famous at this time, and many people often came to visit. Zhang Daqian also lived nearby to copy murals in the first half of the year.
One day when he was painting the murals, he found that some of them had two layers inside and outside. He then took off the outer layer to see the inner layer, but was caught by the inspected armed police officers and soldiers. According to the laws and regulations on cultural relics protection issued by the United War Zone, a lawsuit was filed. According to Zhang Daqian's actions, he would inevitably face a prison disaster. This is also the reason why everyone pleaded for mercy.
But Meng Xiang remembered a description from later generations because of this incident. From 1940 to 1942, Zhang Daqian went to Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes twice to copy murals. The total time he stayed there was about one year. During this period, there were about 30 murals he had peeled off. Among them, Cave 130 of Mogao Grottoes, which had a 26-meter-high Buddha statue in the cave, is one of the most representative grottoes in Dunhuang. He stripped off the first layer of Western Xia murals and then stripped off the second layer of late Tang murals, so that people in later generations could only see the bottom of the prosperous Tang murals. In addition, Cave 108, Cave 454, etc.
This typical approach is purely to satisfy one's own selfishness, and to make these Chinese treasures that have been around for thousands of years no longer exist. What made Meng Xiang angry was that it was the Chinese who did it themselves. He originally wanted to ask Zhang Daqian and others to keep some writing and ink as family heirlooms and inherit from future generations, but this incident made Zhang Daqian's image change in his eyes.
Since he learned about this, he immediately turned cold and refused all pleading. He pushed for these matters to be handled by the court in the United War Zone. The law was not merciless and he should not come forward. Although he only demolished three places in this time and space because it was discovered early, Meng Xiang also decided to kill the chicken and scare the monkey. With the reputation of Zhang Daqian, he used this typical case to remind the Chinese people who were still a little weak in protecting cultural relics, so as not to cause greater losses.
Fan Zhong had dealt with Zhang Daqian when Jiang Baili was a literati and poet. He didn't know that Meng Xiang could use clones to play tricks, but he just believed that under the jury and the ** judge system, even Meng Xiang's plea may not play a big role. Pleading is useless, so he could only blame Zhang Daqian for harming the artist's face.
Lu Sihua has also heard of this matter. Although he also knew that Zhang Daqian was a well-known master of Chinese painting, he also agreed that everyone is equal before the law.
This incident has been a hot topic in China these days, and there are all things to say, but everything can only be concluded until the trial begins.
Because of this incident, Meng Xiang thought a lot about art and cultural relics. Today, Lu Sihua's words aroused some of his thoughts. The concept of cultural relics is not just a cultural relics and works of art. Some cultural relics contain great meanings and can be called sacred relics.
The same cave made Meng Xiang think of a cave in the Middle East.
At this time, in the northwest Kiberkunlan wilderness of the Dead Sea in the Middle East, many places have been enclosed with marks occupied by Meng Xiang through some shadow companies.
The Dead Sea Scrolls are comparable to nuclear bombs for the Western religious circles and the Jews. This is a cultural relic that was enough to shake the foundation of Western religions. In the eyes of the Israelites, it is also a priceless holy object. Such a treasure is not very effective in exaggerating it.
Although the Dead Sea Scrolls later in later generations had decrypted and disclosed some of the contents at the request of some people, Meng Xiang had viciously speculated on some secrets hidden behind them.
A pillar of Western civilization is religion, and the power of the Dead Sea Scroll can shake it. Meng Xiang sent people to search for it when he was planning to layout the Middle East. However, such holy objects were unearthed at the right time and seemed even more powerful. Meng Xiang sent people to search for it secretly while also constantly enclosing land. Although he knew that this thing was discovered after World War II, he was still on guard against changes. For this reason, he specially sent a spy to lead two clones and three ordinary Chinese agents to stay around in the name of doing business, focusing on this matter.
Meng Xiang did not pay attention to this. If such a thing is used well, it can be worth the power of a million troops and will be left for thousands of years.
Just like in film and television works, the Nazi world was searching for treasures in order to pursue miracles, Meng Xiang was also plundering more holy objects and treasures all over the world at this time. The war made it easier to succeed in some things. Although there was insufficient manpower, most of the memories Meng Xiang relied on were some memories in his mind, slowly searching for clues, waiting for the right opportunity to shock the world.
In addition, Meng Xiang once thought about many things about ancient civilizations in a vulgar way. Since the base and time machine were established, Meng Xiang would not sneer at some strange phenomena. Perhaps some relics involving the origin of human civilization really exist. Meng Xiang not only wanted to solve the mysteries in his mind, but also wanted to cultivate a Chinese people's adventurous spirit of actively exploring outward.
The spirit of exploration and adventure in the Western world discovered a new continent and discovered the dawn of modern civilization. The spirit of adventure in ancient Chinese people also opened up the Silk Road of the Han and Tang Dynasties, and became famous and reincarnated. However, the conservatism and self-confidence in modern China made the Chinese people stay away from danger and adventure, and gradually shrank the adventure genes in their blood in their turtle shells.
"It is necessary to use the heroic deeds of adventure and huge temptation of interests to re-energize the adventurous spirit left by the ancients to us without fear of the brave men in the unknown world!" Meng Xiang said in his heart.
