In the middle of the night that day, the Israeli military transport plane successfully arrived at its destination and landed on the runway of Tel Aviv International Airport.
Several Intrepid Exploration Company employees and security personnel who had been waiting at the airport for a long time immediately started the handover on the airport runway and it was quickly completed.
They received some of Ye Tian's top antique artifacts from the Israelis, and then sent the portable safe containing those antique artifacts on the private plane.
Soon, Ye Tian's private plane roared into flames and flew eastward in the night, heading straight for Beijing.
But the military transport plane bound for New York was still flying over the Atlantic Ocean.
There was nothing belonging to Ye Tian on that military transport plane, and he was too lazy to care.
About eleven hours later, Ye Tian's private plane arrived in Beijing and landed at the Capital International Airport.
This handover was still completed on the airport runway.
It was my sister-in-law who led the team to receive those top-notch antiques.
After receiving a call from his sister-in-law, Ye Tian felt relieved after confirming that the top-grade antiques and cultural relics were safe.
The next day, they stayed in Gondar to rest and recuperate mentally and physically to prepare for the next move of the tripartite joint exploration team.
The other two parties of the three-party joint exploration team are not so free.
The Israelis are busy negotiating and communicating with the Ethiopian government and Tigray State so that the three-party joint exploration team can go to the holy city of Aksum to launch exploration operations.
Bishop Kent and others are also busy communicating with the religious circles in Ethiopia and Tigray to appease the emotions of the Ethiopian religious circles.
Meanwhile, operations to clear and salvage shipwreck treasures on Lake Tana continue.
At noon.
Ye Tian, who was resting in the hotel, was viewing the real-time salvage footage of the World War II sunken treasure on his computer, and was talking to Matisse and others on the front line.
On the real-time video screen, two divers from Intrepid Exploration Company were working at the bottom of the lake, carrying crates one by one from the World War II sunken ship.
The area near the sunken ship at the bottom of the lake has been cleared of a large area, and a lake bottom base has been established to transport the crates removed from the sunken ship to the lake surface.
As before, the extremely strong iron cage is still used to transfer the sunken treasure to the lake, rather than the rope net with a large number of buoyancy bags tied to it.
In this way, you basically don’t have to worry about being attacked by the Nile crocodiles in the lake.
In the base located deep under the lake, a large number of materials and equipment are stored, such as compressed oxygen cylinders, diving suits, spare batteries, etc.
With this base, divers can stay at the bottom of the lake for longer, without having to float and dive frequently, which improves salvage efficiency and reduces some risks.
While several divers were transferring the sunken treasure, the Aurora small private submarine of the Intrepid Exploration Company was suspended above the side of the sunken ship at the bottom of the lake.
Reporters and photographers from the National Geographic Channel broadcast team were sitting in the small private submarine, shooting from the closest distance.
While talking, another crate was moved out of the sunken ship by divers.
Immediately afterwards, two divers used a small rope net and a buoyancy bag to lift the crate, and dragged the rope net to swim to the iron cage near the sunken ship.
The Aurora small private submarine immediately followed and filmed the entire process.
The picture shown on the video is very shocking.
In the depths of the lake, which was completely shrouded in darkness, two divers wearing full-face diving suits dragged a rope net suspended in the lake water, swung their legs, and swam towards the base not far from the sunken ship. .
Besides the two divers, there is a small private submarine with a strong sci-fi flair, following them.
The powerful lights projected from the two divers and the small private submarine were like lightsabers, splitting the darkness in the depths of Lake Tana.
The base at the bottom of the lake not far from the sunken ship is like a small mountain of lights standing on the bottom of the lake, emitting dazzling light and extremely eye-catching.
There are many strange creatures swimming around the lake base, the two divers and the small private submarine.
They have long been accustomed to these strange intruders, and they act as if there is no one around them.
After a while, the two divers dragged the rope net and swam to the bottom of the lake.
Next, they first released the air in the buoyancy bag, then took out the crate that fell on the seabed from the rope net and moved it into the iron cage.
Then they put the crate into a strong canvas bag, sealed the mouth of the bag, and covered it with a rope net.
At this time, there were ten crates of the same specifications inside the iron cage, all packed in the same canvas bags and covered with rope nets.
Immediately afterwards, the two divers locked the iron cage from the inside.
The next moment, they each picked up a compressed air bottle placed in the cage and began to inject air into several large buoyancy bags above the iron cage.
After a while, those orange-red buoyancy bags bulged up, gradually lifting the extremely heavy iron cage from the bottom of the lake, and slowly floated to the surface of the lake.
At the same time, the crane on the lake also began to exert force, gradually pulling the iron cage up to the lake.
Due to the assistance of the buoyancy bag, the weight of the crane is much smaller and it is very safe.
In a moment, the iron cage containing ten crates and two divers had left the bottom of the lake and gradually disappeared into the dark lake water above.
After watching the iron cage disappear, Ye Tian picked up the satellite phone and started talking to Matisse.
"Mattis, how is the situation on the lake? Is there anything unusual? Are there any special actions by the Ethiopian exploration team and military and police personnel?"
The next moment, Matisse’s voice came over.
"At present, the lake is relatively calm. The waters for cleaning and salvaging the sunken treasures have been blocked by the Ethiopian military, and no other ships are allowed to enter.
However, some unidentified ships still appeared in the distance, peeking here, but they did not dare to stay for a long time, they always stopped for a while and then left, and the Ethiopian military had no choice."
Hearing this, Ye Tian couldn't help but sneered and said:
"Obviously, some people have already suspected the purpose of the exploration fleet stopping in that area of water. They have sent people to investigate the situation. More ships will definitely appear next"
"Understood, Steven, we will keep an eye on those guys and not give them any opportunities. The treasure cleaning and salvage operations are always under our control, and the Ethiopians will only supervise.
Several groups of our divers take turns going down to the bottom of the lake to salvage treasures. Since it is a deep diving operation, everyone needs sufficient time to rest and recover, which will inevitably affect the salvage speed.
At the current pace, it will take us at least four or five days to clear out the treasures in the sunken ship at the bottom of the lake and fish them all out of the water, and this is without interference."
"This matter should not be rushed. Everyone's safety is the first priority. We cannot let everyone take risks in deep diving just because we are pursuing the speed of salvaging treasures. This will cause huge harm to the divers"
“I understand this, Steven. I will definitely arrange the sequence and time of the deep dives so that each diver can fully recover and salvage the sunken treasure while ensuring safety.
As for the Ethiopian exploration team and military personnel, there has been no movement for the time being. Since radio silence is strictly enforced in this water area, it is difficult for them to leak the situation here.
It is difficult to control the Ethiopian military police and government staff scattered in various towns and docks along the coast. Fortunately, those guys do not know the coordinates here."
“Leaks are bound to happen. It is unrealistic to expect the Ethiopian government and military to keep the information completely secret and block the information. We can only hope that the secrets will be leaked later
There are not many medium and large ships around Lake Tana. Quite a few of them have been rented by us or requisitioned by the Ethiopians. It is not easy for others to get ships."
Next, Ye Tian learned about some other situations before ending the call.
Soon, the time came to about five o'clock in the afternoon.
Joshua and Bishop Kent visited together and brought good news.
After some communication and coordination, as well as paying a considerable price and a large sum of money, the Israeli government finally reached an agreement with Tigray State and the TPLF.
The three-party joint exploration team can go to the holy city of Aksum to start the next step of exploration.
The number of Ethiopian government representatives and religious representatives accompanying the team was strictly limited.
After entering Tigray State, the peripheral security of the tripartite joint exploration team will be taken over by the Tigray State Police and the TPLF. Military and police personnel of the Ethiopian government are not allowed to enter Tigray State.
If the tripartite joint exploration team discovers the remaining portion of Solomon's Treasure in Aksum, the treasure will still be distributed according to the previous plan, but the Israeli government will make appropriate compensation to Tigray.
Ye Tian naturally welcomed this result.
If Solomon's Treasure and the Ark of the Covenant were really discovered, it would not be the Intrepid Exploration Company that would compensate Tigray State.
Due to the complicated situation in Tigray, Ye Tian did not plan to bring too many men with him this time to Aksum.
This is the main reason why he left a large number of company employees, as well as Matisse and the others, in Lake Tana.
If too many people enter Tigray, it will be difficult to evacuate in time in the event of an accident, such as a siege by the Rapture or angry Orthodox believers.
If the number of people is small and skilled, there will be no such problem and everyone can respond quickly.
In order to ensure the safety of everyone, Ye Tian also made a lot of preparations and arranged many back-ups.
He arranged for some armed security personnel to sneak into Tigray secretly, be prepared to deal with various emergencies, and arranged safe evacuation routes.
He has laid out three safe evacuation routes.
Moreover, the security personnel on these three evacuation routes did not know each other. They were from different security companies and had no idea about the existence of security personnel on the other two lines.
After reporting the news, Joshua and Bishop Kent discussed the next exploration with Ye Tian for a while before leaving the luxurious suite.
As soon as they left, Ye Tian received news from his men.
As he expected, in order for the tripartite joint exploration team to smoothly enter Tigray and launch exploration operations, Israel promised to provide a large amount of arms supplies to the TPLF.
This batch of arms and supplies were eliminated by the Israel Defense Forces and collected over the years but had not yet been destroyed, so they were used here.
It is conceivable that once this batch of arms and supplies is transported to Tigray and completed, the strength of the Tigray Front will surely increase greatly, and it will have more strength to confront the Ethiopian government forces.
There is no doubt that this will bring a disaster to the poor country of Ethiopia.
Hearing the news, Ye Tian felt somewhat heavy.
……
It was about seven o'clock in the evening.
A few more guests came, including the Ethiopian Minister of Culture and the President’s Special Envoy.
After everyone met, they exchanged a few words and got down to business.
"Steven, tomorrow you will leave Gondar and go to Axum, the holy city of Tigray. I hope your trip goes well and you can discover something in Axum.
I believe you also know something about the situation in Tigray. Due to various reasons, the influence of the Ethiopian government in Tigray is no longer what it used to be.
If you really find Solomon’s treasure in the holy city of Axum, or even the most holy object, the Ark of the Covenant, how to deal with it, I hope you can communicate with us..."
The Ethiopian Minister of Culture said with a very solemn expression.
As soon as he said this, he was interrupted by Ye Tian.
"Mr. Minister, I would like to state here that the tripartite joint exploration team went to Aksum this time. If Solomon's treasure and the Ark of the Covenant were really discovered, it would be great.
Due to the special nature of Axum and the special nature of the Ark of the Covenant, our company will definitely avoid suspicion and leave the handling of the treasures and the Ark of the Covenant to Israel and the Vatican.
In other words, we are only responsible for exploring treasures, as long as we can ensure the interests of our company. In view of this, you should talk to Israel and the Vatican about these matters."
Hearing this, these senior Ethiopian government officials were stunned.
They looked at each other, a little helpless.
Next, a religious leader tried to discuss this topic, but was stopped by Ye Tian.
In desperation, they could only change the topic.
"Steven, we may not be able to transfer the auction proceeds to your company for the antique artifacts and artworks from Solomon's treasure that we photographed yesterday. Our foreign exchange reserves are too tight!"
The Ethiopian presidential envoy said.
Hearing this, Ye Tian laughed.
“This problem is actually very easy to solve. Don’t I have to pay a large amount of tax to the Ethiopian government? The auction payment you should pay can be directly deducted from the tax I pay.
In this way, you will save trouble, and you can receive the remaining tax payable in the shortest possible time. That is a huge amount of wealth, which should be of great use to you! ”
"Ah——!"
Several senior Ethiopian officials exclaimed in unison and looked at each other.
Without exception, their faces were a little ugly.
These Ethiopians understand that no one can take advantage of the **** in front of them!
……
It’s another new day, with clear skies.
Just after eight o'clock in the morning, Ye Tian and his party came down from upstairs, preparing to leave Gondar and head to Aksum, the religious holy city in the north.
When entering the hotel lobby, Joshua, Bishop Kent and others were already waiting here.
In addition to them, there were also several representatives from the Ethiopian government and religious circles on site, preparing to go to Aksum with the joint exploration team.
Outside the hotel door, the three-party joint exploration fleet is ready and can set off at any time.
When he came to the lobby, Ye Tian glanced at everyone present, then said with a smile:
"Good morning, gentlemen, nice to see you all here and keep everyone waiting"
"Good morning, Steven, you are looking very good, which is a good sign"
Joshua nodded and said hello.
All Israelis, including him, and everyone in the Vatican were very excited and full of expectations at this time.
Contrary to them, the Ethiopians had worried eyes and extremely solemn expressions.
After greeting everyone, Ye Tian pointed to the hotel entrance.
"Gentlemen, we can set off on a new journey of exploration. I hope there will be surprising and major discoveries in Axum this time!"
After saying that, he led David and his employees towards the door.
Joshua and Bishop Kent looked at each other and followed with their respective men.
While they were talking, they had already walked out of the hotel door.
Seeing them coming out, the media reporters guarding the door of the hotel immediately rushed to ask questions loudly.
"Good morning, Steven, I am a reporter from Ethiopian National Television. According to reliable information, you will go to the holy city of Axum to explore treasures. What do you expect from this trip?
As we all know, the relationship between the Ethiopian government, Tigray State, and the TPLF is very tense. What do you think of this situation? How are you going to deal with it? ”
"Good morning, Steven, I am a reporter from Israel's national TV station. Ethiopians have always believed that the Ark of the Covenant is enshrined in the Church of St. Mary of Axum. What do you think of this?"
Hearing the questions from these media reporters, Ye Tian immediately stopped.
He glanced at these guys and then said loudly:
"Ladies and gentlemen, friends from the media, I am very happy to see you all here, and thank you very much for paying attention to this tripartite joint exploration operation.
Our joint exploration operation in Gondar has ended with satisfactory results. Next, we will go to the holy city of Aksum, hoping that we can also discover something during this trip.
As for what I can find during this trip, I don’t know yet, so I can’t give any answers. Well, that’s all I have to say. I wish everyone a good day! ”
After finishing speaking, he boarded the armored and bulletproof vehicle parked next to him.
The rest of the tripartite joint exploration team also got on the bus one after another.
A moment later, this huge motorcade started with a bang, leaving the hotel and heading towards Axum, the holy city in Tigray!
