Amid the exclamations, the British and French officials in the audience were all dumbfounded. They didn't know what to say for a moment, their expressions were quite embarrassing, and their faces were a little red.
Before the noise subsided, Ye Tian glanced at the boiling banquet hall and continued to speak loudly:
"As we all know, during the Second World War, countless gold and silver treasures and precious antiques and artworks were looted by armies of various countries or looted by others and have been missing ever since.
As a result, many historical unsolved cases and mysterious treasures have been formed, which are the so-called 'World War II relics'. They are hidden in mysterious places and have fascinated countless people!
Among these 'World War II relics', the three most eye-catching and, according to legend, the most valuable treasures are the Merckx treasure, the Yamashita Fengbun treasure, and the Rommel treasure!
When the Allied forces invaded Germany in 1945, the Third Army led by Patton discovered the Merckx treasure in a mine in the village of Merckx in Thuringia, Germany, and then transported it all back to the United States.
The Merckx treasure is said to contain 250 tons of gold, countless silver and jewelry, huge amounts of cash, and as many as 400 tons of art treasures. It is an extremely astonishing wealth.
The legendary Yamashita Fengbun treasure contains almost all the wealth of six Southeast Asian countries and is said to be worth tens of billions of dollars, but its whereabouts are still an unsolved mystery!
According to legend, Yamashita Fengbun's treasure was also acquired by the US military. From 1945 to 1948, gold worth tens of billions of dollars was shipped to the United States and deposited in 176 banks!
There is also a theory that most of the wealth hidden under the mountain was shipped back to the United States, while a small part was privately divided by the American occupying generals, flowed into major Swiss banks, and became private property!
The largest account among them is the gold account opened by MacArthur's son, Arthur MacArthur, at Credit Suisse Bank in Zurich. The amount of gold in that account is as high as nearly one hundred tons.
A former U.S. president also had up to 7.5 tons of gold in his private account at Credit Suisse. Of course, these are just legends and may not be credible, and there is no clear evidence to support them.
I want to make it clear here that I have heard these legends from various channels. They are not fabricated by me to deliberately slander anyone, so I do not need to bear any legal responsibility! "
Speaking of this, Ye Tian couldn't help but reveal a smirk, which was extremely obvious under the lens of the high-definition camera.
Listening to his words and looking at his performance, everyone at the scene rolled their eyes in confusion.
This **** is so cunning! In front of the live broadcast camera and in front of everyone in the world, after telling other people's ulterior scandals, another one, according to legend, completely shirks the responsibility in an instant!
At the same time, in the office buildings of several famous banks in Switzerland and some places in the United States, there was a burst of angry and crazy curses, as well as the sound of some smashing things!
Needless to ask, the person being cursed was naturally Ye Tian, who was in the Regina Hotel in Paris and was talking eloquently.
After a pause, Ye Tian continued to speak loudly with a smile:
“Except for the discovered Merckx treasure and the misty treasure at the foot of the mountain, the Rommel treasure, which was also one of the three major treasures of World War II, only exists in legends so far.
Rommel was known as the Desert Fox. During World War II, he led combat operations in North Africa for a long time and was the actual ruler of North Africa. There were many very wealthy tribal chiefs in that land.
In Rommel's eyes, it is said that there are only two kinds of chiefs, those who support me and those who do not support me, but there is only one way. Those who support me, use money to support me, and those who do not support me, kill people and steal money!
Relying on this iron-blooded method, Rommel amassed a huge amount of wealth during the war in North Africa, including countless gold, jewelry and diamonds. It is said that more than 90 large boxes of rare antiques alone were packed!
This wealth is so huge that it is said that even Rommel himself does not know the specific value, but some good people have made a rough estimate that the value of these treasures should be no less than three billion US dollars!
On the eve of the defeat in North Africa, Rommel used various means to disperse, transfer and hide the huge wealth he plundered, but the final destination of that treasure has always been a mystery!
In 1944, Rommel, who returned to Germany, was involved in a plot to overthrow Hitler. After the assassination was revealed, Rommel had no choice but to commit suicide by taking poison under Hitler's pressure.
With the death of Rommel, the Rommel treasure has become a historical unsolved case and an unsolved mystery. Because of its huge value, the Rommel treasure has been hailed by later generations as one of the three great relics of World War II!
The sunken treasure we discovered in the English Channel this time is part of Rommel's treasure. The discovery of this sunken treasure may help solve the mystery of Rommel's treasure! "
As Ye Tian said these words, the banquet hall became more and more noisy, and all the media reporters’ eyes shone with excitement and their gazes were extremely hot!
The eyes of those officials from the Ministry of Culture of Britain and France have turned green, and there is endless greed in everyone's eyes, which cannot be concealed at all!
On countless live broadcasts, crazy exclamations kept ringing out, one after another, and every voice was full of envy and even jealousy!
There are also some people on the live broadcast, such as German government officials, Jews, and government officials from some North African countries, whose eyes are also shining with greed!
As soon as Ye Tian finished speaking, a media reporter stood up in the audience and said loudly:
"Stephen, according to legend, Rommel once organized a fleet of high-speed boats to transport the gold and silver treasures to Italy, and then to Germany by land.
However, when the speedboat force sailed into the waters of Corsica, it encountered a British ambush, was sunk by the British fleet, and sank to the seabed near Corsica.
If this legend is true, then it is impossible for them to appear in the English Channel. Given the war situation at that time, was it too risky to transport gold and silver treasures through the English Channel? "
Just after this person finished speaking, another media reporter stood up and said loudly:
"Steven, some people say that Rommel's speedboat force was just a cover for attacking in the east. The real treasure was loaded on dozens of military trucks and drove into the Sahara Desert.
They abandoned trucks and used camels in the desert, and walked for two more days before burying the treasure. The treasure-hiding force that buried the gold and silver treasure was surrounded by the British army on the way back and was completely wiped out.
That may be Rommel's murder. Judging from Rommel's subsequent involvement in assassinating Hitler, it is more likely that Rommel hid the treasure in the desert instead of transporting it back to Germany to Hitler! "
Ye Tian looked at the two media reporters, then smiled and said loudly:
"I have said before that this sunken treasure is only part of Rommel's treasure, not all of it. Of course, if it were all of Rommel's treasure, it would be perfect!"
Hearing this, both the media reporters and officials from the British and French Ministry of Culture at the scene, as well as the people watching the live broadcast, couldn't help but roll their eyes and cursed secretly in annoyance!
This **** **** is so greedy!
The treasure in that sunken ship is worth hundreds of millions of dollars in gold, jewelry and diamonds! This is not enough to satisfy this bastard's appetite. He actually dares to hope to capture the entire Rommel treasure without fear of dying!
God! Are your eyes really blind? Why do you favor this **** Steven so much? A greedy **** like this should be struck to death by lightning!
Ye Tian saw all the performances of the people at the scene, but he turned a blind eye and continued to speak loudly with a smile!
“I have also heard of the two legends about Rommel hiding treasure, but everyone must not forget that Rommel is known as the Desert Fox and is an extremely cunning general.
Even ordinary people with a little bit of brains understand that eggs cannot be put in one basket! What's more, Rommel was as cunning as a fox, so it was normal for him to scatter the treasure.
Although the English Channel was very dangerous at that time, civilian ships and cargo ships were still able to pass. As I said just now, it was a cargo ship, and the name of the ship was erased! "
Just after Ye Tian finished speaking, an official from the British Ministry of Culture in the audience said reluctantly:
"Steven, what evidence do you have to prove that the gold, jewels and diamonds in the sunken treasure are part of Rommel's treasure and came from North Africa, not from the European countries occupied by Hitler?"
As this question was raised, everyone at the scene and on the live broadcast looked at Ye Tian, waiting for his answer.
Ye Tian glanced at the British official and said loudly:
"It is actually very simple to prove whether the sunken treasure is part of Rommel's treasure. This treasure hunt will be broadcast live, and the live broadcast rights have been sold to the National Geographic Channel!
At that time, everyone can witness the whole process of exploring and salvaging shipwreck treasures, witness the process of rediscovering the gold, jewelry and diamonds, and learn where they came from for the first time!
When those batches of gold, jewelry and diamonds come out, they will definitely shatter some people’s unrealistic illusions. Here I want to reiterate again, that is my wealth, no one can covet it! "
After hearing his words, the faces of the British and French officials present and many people on the live broadcast couldn't help but change and became extremely ugly!
"Okay, ladies and gentlemen, that's it for the introduction about the sunken treasures. Next is free question time. Everyone is welcome to ask questions!"
As Ye Tian’s clear voice came out again, the banquet hall immediately started to boil again!
