Chapter 395: Search for Cultural Relics

As the war continues, the huge disparity in national power between the United States and Japan has become increasingly clear.

The U.S. Air Force bombs every corner of the battlefield unscrupulously, as if their bombs are inexhaustible.

All that was left of the Japanese army was tired of defending.

Same goes for Manila.

The city is bombed almost every day.

God knows what Manila will look like on the day the US troops land.

Even in the face of such bombing, Meng Shaoyuan stepped up the verification work of various terminals.

Now, he is doing it unscrupulously.

It can even be said that no one can restrain him.

He is no longer so interested in gold.

After all, he has stolen and moved large amounts of gold.

Even he himself couldn't tell the specific number.

He is the real golden thief.

What he is doing now is checking how many Chinese treasures were looted by the Japanese army in Manila.

For example, BJ human skull.

Or, a cultural relic as precious as a skull!

These are all from China.

Meng Shaoyuan had to intercept them in Manila.

Then, after the war is over, look for the most suitable opportunity and quietly return it to your motherland!

Meng Shaoyuan has never been the kind of person with noble moral character. On the contrary, his moral values ​​are very low.

But he knows one thing best, what kind of blood is flowing in his body!

This cannot be changed even by future generations!

The first thing Meng Shaoyuan did after taking over the power was to transfer Wang Xizhi's "Dingwu Lanting Preface"!

This is not as difficult to transfer as gold.

Moreover, Warehouse No. 6 has been sealed.

No one knew that someone had tampered with it again.

To take a step back, a piece of calligraphy and painting, in the eyes of most people, is incomparable to several tons of gold.

It's more than just that.

Since the beginning of the war of aggression against China, the Japanese army has looted cultural relics in China to the point of frenzy.

The Japanese army generally deployed cultural relic searchers at the division level to be responsible for plundering Chinese cultural relics.

Meng Shaoyuan did not have the ability to find every looted cultural relic, but now he has an opportunity in front of him, which is to recover the losses for China as much as possible, and he will definitely not let it go.

And in the process of searching various dock warehouses, something that made him extremely distressed finally appeared.

When he opened a wooden box, he saw that it was filled with all kinds of porcelain.

Although Meng Shaoyuan was an outsider in cultural relics, he also knew that since they were piled in a warehouse, they must have great value.

However, due to improper storage and long-distance transportation, some of the porcelain has broken.

One piece of porcelain has been shattered.

Meng Shaoyuan picked up a base and could clearly distinguish the word "orthodox" on it.

That is the porcelain of the Ming Dynasty in China.

Only he knows Meng Shaoyuan's heartache best.

These beasts.

Don’t cherish what you take away, destroy what you can’t take away!

"Dong Shilang's Diary" once wrote a description of him and his companions after they entered Nanjing:

"Private Tanaka, who claimed to have an eye for cultural relics, said: 'These treasures have never been seen in our country, and their value is simply astronomical.'... Originally I was not interested in these, but under the influence of Tanaka's antique craze,

I collected calligraphy and painting by famous people and two fans signed by famous people in Wuxi, and I also collected hanging scrolls in Wujin... We were all influenced by his antique obsession and looted all the pottery in the room... In this house, everything that cannot be taken away

None of the items we took away were intact, they were all smashed to pieces by us."

This passage can be said to be an excellent portrayal of an invading soldier. Although he did not understand the value of cultural relics, he still took whatever he could get.

If it is troublesome, these priceless cultural relics will be destroyed casually, and those that cannot be removed will be destroyed.

Due to this mentality, the fate of many cultural relics can be said to be extremely disappointing.

The Nanjing Central Museum once collected a batch of New Era ancient porcelain and stoneware specimens from Rizhao, Shandong. These cultural relics were eventually discovered as roadbeds.

The files of the Jiangnan Office in the Qing Dynasty were packed into sixty baskets and all were sent to be used as waste paper.

This is a huge loss to the Chinese cultural relics community!

But now, Meng Shaoyuan witnessed it with his own eyes.

Bring back!

At this time, Meng Shaoyuan only had one strongest thought in his mind:

Take these cultural relics belonging to China back!

A sharp air raid siren suddenly sounded outside.

Li Zhifeng walked in: "Let's avoid it."

Meng Shaoyuan nodded, put down the porcelain, and walked out calmly.



The U.S. bombing raid arrived on time.

Meng Shaoyuan prayed in his heart that bombs would never fall on these warehouses.

Otherwise, the loss will be unbearable.

But he also understood that this kind of prayer was meaningless.

Americans don't care what's on the ground.

They don't even care about Wang Xizhi or Ming Dynasty porcelain.

Their only mission is to throw all the bombs they carry to the ground!

A warehouse was blown up and caught fire.

The fire brigade rushed over and tried their best to put out the fire.

Japanese anti-aircraft artillery on the ground also began to counterattack.

Most of the aircraft were used in the competition with the US military on the sea.

Anti-aircraft artillery is their only way to resist attacks from the air!

At this moment, bursts of cheers suddenly came from the pier.

It turned out that a US military aircraft was hit and dived towards the ground with billowing smoke.

Then, umbrella flowers opened in the sky.

That was an American pilot parachuting.

In fact, it doesn't matter whether they skydive or not.

Maybe it would be better for them to be killed on the spot in the air.

Once they hit the ground, most of them can be caught.

Or be beaten to death on the spot.

Or, die in a concentration camp.

The Japanese anti-aircraft machine guns began to fire into the air inhumanely.

When have the Japanese ever cared about violations of international conventions?

It seems that it has absolute air superiority, and the U.S. Air Force is somewhat unscrupulous.

They flew too low.

Soon, a second plane was hit.

This made the Japanese army even more excited.

"Did you see it?" Meng Shaoyuan, who had witnessed all this, suddenly asked.

"What did you see?" Li Zhifeng was startled.

"The war has progressed to this point, and the strengths of both sides are no longer on the same level."

Meng Shaoyuan looked at the sky and said slowly: "Now, being able to shoot down one or two US military aircraft is enough to make the Japanese cheer. But such losses are minimal to the Americans.

The gap between the two sides is getting wider and wider and has reached an irreparable point, and the end of the war will soon come."

Li Zhifeng nodded: "War still relies on weapons."

"That's not necessarily the case. It depends on who is the winner." Meng Shaoyuan said calmly:
Chapter completed!
