The Tigray state government and the top Orthodox Church have kept their promises.
By about seven o'clock in the evening, all the fanatical Orthodox believers and monks gathered around the hotel had evacuated, and no one was left.
The entrance to the hotel, which was originally crowded, and several nearby streets suddenly became deserted, with only a few policemen on duty and heavily armed Tiren soldiers remaining.
Seeing this scene, everyone in the tripartite joint exploration team breathed a sigh of relief and finally relaxed.
At the same time, everyone has truly felt how huge and amazing the influence of the Ethiopian Orthodox Church in Aksum is.
If they wanted to, they could encourage those fanatical Orthodox believers and monks to occupy the city and completely overwhelm the three-party joint exploration team.
Thinking of this, everyone felt a little heavy.
Ye Tian stood on 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 Kent, 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:
"Have you all seen the situation outside? I think the Tigray state government and those senior Orthodox figures are somewhat of a demonstration, and they have indeed achieved their goal.
In Aksum, their influence is so great that it can be said that the entire city is under their control. Only by cooperating with them can we launch exploratory operations."
"Indeed, although Aksum is a commercial center and cargo distribution center in northern Ethiopia, it is also a religious holy place and is basically under the control of the church.
Even the Tigray state government and the Tigray Front are far less influential in this city than the church. Because of this, we must cooperate with the Orthodox church."
Joshua nodded and said.
"There is no problem with cooperation, but if we really find Solomon's treasure and the Ark of the Covenant here, problems may arise, and it will be very troublesome!"
After hearing what Ye Tian said, everyone at the scene nodded.
Everyone is aware of this, but they can’t think of a good solution.
After chatting for a few more words, Ye Tian changed the topic.
"Joshua, several of the exploration locations we are going to visit tomorrow are exposed in the wilderness, with no shelter around them. Some of them are still on the top of the mountain. You must do a good job of security"
"Understood, Steven, I will tell Seaman and the others later that they will rush to those exploration locations tomorrow to investigate. Only after it is confirmed to be safe, can you take people out of the car to start exploring"
Joshua continued.
"The focus is on the abandoned castle on the top of the mountain and the Obelisk Square. The terrain of these two places is the most complex. We should stay there for a long time, so we need to check it carefully."
"I know, I will let Heman and the others focus on investigating these two places"
After chatting for a few more words, Bishop Kent suddenly asked curiously:
"Steven, did you discover anything when you visited St. Mary's Church and the Holy Martyrdom Chapel on Mount Zion today? Are there any major secrets hidden in and around those two ancient religious buildings? ?"
Ye Tian shook his head and said with a smile:
"Unfortunately, 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.
In this case, it is impossible to make any discovery. Naturally, we have no way of knowing whether the Ark of the Covenant stored in the Holy Martyrdom Chapel is true or false! ”
Hearing this, both Joshua and Bishop Kent nodded, with a trace of disappointment flashing in their eyes.
After discussing for a while and making some preparations for tomorrow's exploration operation, Joshua and the others said goodbye and left.
Subsequently, David and others also left one after another.
When he was the only one left in the suite, Ye Tian immediately took out his satellite phone and started talking to Matisse.
The call was connected in an instant, and he asked directly:
"Mattis, tell me about the small seaplane you just shot down. Have you found out who rented that small seaplane?"
Just five or six minutes ago, Ye Tian was discussing with Joshua and the others the exploration operation that was about to start tomorrow.
Mattis suddenly announced through a wireless invisible headset that they had just shot down a small seaplane with a Needle-type shoulder-fired anti-aircraft missile over Lake Tana. One person in the plane was killed and two people were seriously injured.
After the words fell, Mattis immediately began to introduce the situation.
"It's like this, Steven, just in the evening, a small seaplane suddenly flew from the direction of Volota, passed through the mist on the lake, and flew directly towards 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 it would launch an attack, but the other party pretended not to hear it and continued to fly regardless.
When this small seaplane broke into the sky above the waters where the sunken treasure was being salvaged, we notified Mustafa and the Ethiopian military, and then shot it down with a Sting anti-aircraft missile.
After the small seaplane was hit, it crashed on the lake. I immediately sent a speedboat to check the situation. It turned out that there were three people in the 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 by luck, but they all lost their ability to move.
We just investigated and found that these two guys and some others followed the tripartite joint exploration team from Israel to Gonder, Ethiopia, and died here! ”
Hearing the announcement, Ye Tian couldn't help but sneer a few times.
“This is their own death, and they can’t blame anyone else. However, this matter may cause some trouble. I will contact Mustafa later and let the Ethiopian government handle this matter.
When you told me the news just now, I thought it was that **** Cook or his men who were shot down. If it was those bastards, that would be great, but it is 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 really a pity! After this incident, the other guys who were hiding from the surroundings and peeping around immediately fled!"
Mattis said with a laugh.
Next, Ye Tian asked about some other situations 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 some troubles that might arise.
While he was talking to Mustafa on the phone, in a fishing boat on Lake Tana, the guy Cook was cursing hysterically.
"Faker! The men of this **** Steven are all a bunch of lunatics and butchers. How dare they just shoot down a flying seaplane with a shoulder-fired missile!
Fortunately, I didn’t take a seaplane to fly to that area of water, otherwise I would have been shot down by the missile. It’s so **** worthless to be killed like this! ”
While cursing loudly, Cook had a scared expression on his face, and even his legs were shaking slightly.
Just a few hours ago, because he could not find a suitable boat, he had thought of renting a small seaplane and flying to the center of the lake to check the situation.
Luckily, just when they were about to rent a small seaplane, they happened to see a fishing boat returning to the harbor.
They immediately rented the fishing boat at a high price, filled it with fuel, carried a large amount of supplies and exploration equipment, and then sailed towards the center of Lake Tana to investigate the situation.
Not long after arriving here, they saw a small seaplane shot down by a shoulder-fired anti-aircraft missile and crashed on the lake.
Seeing this scene, Cook and the others' blood ran cold, and everyone was frightened.
They immediately turned the boat around and quickly sailed away.
Until they were far away from the waters where the joint exploration fleet was operating and disappeared into the mist on the lake, they gradually reduced their speed and anchored on the lake.
After a period of crazy venting, Cook calmed down a little.
Immediately afterwards, he asked his exploration team members and security personnel.
“Guys, those **** under Steven are so ruthless that it is basically 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 under the water? Put on a diving suit, use the diving propeller, and under the cover of night, push into the working waters and dive into the bottom of the lake to explore the treasure? ”
Before they finished speaking, 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 operating waters from underwater!"
"There are many very ferocious Nile crocodiles swimming in these waters. If we enter the water rashly, we will only become snacks for those Nile crocodiles!"
"As far as I know, the water in this area of Lake Tana is very deep, most likely more than 70 meters deep, and the visibility at the bottom of the lake is very poor, and the topography of the lake bottom is unfamiliar to everyone.
In this case, if there are no ships to provide support on the lake, and if there is no deep dive decompression station at the middle depth of the lake, rashly diving deep will be tantamount to seeking death! ”
Hearing this, Cook was immediately dumbfounded.
After a while, he came to his senses, and then yelled unwillingly:
"Then what should we do? Are we just going to watch this shocking treasure being swept away by that **** Steven? The treasure is so close, I really can't bear to leave empty-handed like this!"
Everyone else at the scene looked at each other with dismay, but they were very helpless.
After a moment of silence, one of his subordinates suddenly said:
“Boss, we want to **** this amazing treasure on the surface of Lake Tana and deep under the lake. It is basically impossible. Not only will it fail, but it will cost everyone’s lives.
In this 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 will eventually land.
After they land on land with the gold and silver treasures in this sunken treasure, it will not be too late for us to find another opportunity to take action. That may be our only chance and the best opportunity! ”
Cook's eyes suddenly lit up and shone brightly.
Then the guy nodded vigorously and said:
"You're right, these **** under Steven will eventually land. After they land, we will start to **** this shocking treasure. I will never be willing to go back empty-handed!"
Everyone else nodded, and everyone had renewed hope.
The same scene is being staged simultaneously in many boats on Lake Tana and in many places around Lake Tana, with much the same content!
……
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 protesting and demonstrating left, a large number of media reporters rushed over and stood guard at the door of the hotel where the tripartite joint exploration team stayed, waiting for the opportunity to be interviewed.
Around nine o'clock in the morning, many vehicles from the joint exploration convoy suddenly drove to the door of the hotel.
Seeing this scene, the media reporters immediately understood.
The three-party joint exploration team is about to set off to launch an exploration operation in Axum.
After confirming this, these media reporters immediately became excited.
They all set up long guns and short cannons, aiming at the main entrance of the hotel, preparing to shoot and interview.
About five minutes later, accompanied by the deputy mayor of Aksum, representatives of the People’s Front, and representatives of the Orthodox Church, Ye Tian and Joshua walked out of the hotel door and prepared to get in the car and leave.
Seeing them coming out, the media reporters guarding the door of the hotel immediately started asking questions loudly at the top of their lungs.
"Good morning, Mr. Steven, I am a reporter from the New York Times. I would like to ask, are you going to launch an exploratory operation? Can you tell us where you are going to explore specifically?"
"Good morning, Minister Joshua, I am a reporter from Israel's national television. Where do you think Solomon's treasure and the Ark of the Covenant are hidden in Aksum? Will it be in the Church of St. Mary of Mount Zion?"
Hearing the questions from these media reporters, Ye Tian, Joshua and Bishop Kent immediately looked at each other and smiled, then stopped.
Axum is different from Gondar and different from other places.
Here, they must use all available forces to contain the Tigray state government, the TPLF, and the Ethiopian Orthodox Church, so that Ethiopians will be more scrupulous.
The attention of the world's major news media and the Ethiopian media is a force that can be harnessed, and the power of these media is not small and cannot be ignored.
Especially for Tigray and the TPLF, when they go to 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 paying attention to this tripartite joint exploration operation. The purpose of our coming to Aksum is very clear to everyone, so I will not introduce it again.
Today is the second day after the tripartite joint exploration team arrived in Axum. We will officially launch the exploration operation. Due to the need for confidentiality, the specific exploration location is not convenient to disclose for the time being.
What I can tell you is that if the tripartite joint exploration team makes major discoveries in Aksum, we will announce it in time and broadcast it live. Please pay attention! ”
Before he finished speaking, several more media reporters began to ask questions loudly.
But Ye Tian did not respond. Instead, he raised his hand to Joshua, Bishop Kent, and the deputy mayor of Aksum, indicating that he could interview them.
Following his action, many media reporters immediately changed their targets and began to ask those few questions.
Next, Joshua and Bishop Kent each stood up and answered some questions that media reporters were concerned about.
They all expressed great optimism about the tripartite joint exploration team's operations in Axum, hoping to create another miracle and discover the remaining part of Solomon's treasure.
In order to avoid irritating Ethiopian Orthodox believers and monks, they did not mention the Ark of the Covenant.
Many media reporters also understood this, so they did not ask excessive questions.
After they finished the interview, Aksum’s deputy mayor in charge of culture and tourism also stood up and accepted a joint interview with media reporters.
What he said was just some official clichés, with little nutrition or value.
Afterwards, Ye Tian and the others boarded the joint exploration convoy and left here by car!
