The three overhauled and cleaned clippers lined up in a long row, and slowly sailed into the Huangpu River under the guidance of the water diversion boat. The white sails were all replaced. Suzuki Tai had worked hard to do this escort mission.

More than 300 European veterans all changed into brand new military uniforms. Among them, the soldiers with outstanding meritorious deeds also hung the medals awarded by the head of state on their chests. Some of the combat heroes actually possessed the Iron Cross Medal personally awarded by Prince Carl.

"The head of state's expeditionary force! The expeditionary force that broke through France... the iron army that broke through the French capital!"

"Men! This is the pure man! Wansheng! Majestic!"

The crowd suddenly started to clamor. Being able to gallop in the foreign devils or even break through the capital of a country is the most inspiring thing in any era.

The Chinese military victory, all the shame of the late Qing Dynasty in front of foreign devils, and the morale of the people suddenly increased.

However, Shanghai is a commercial center after all, and people are not as concerned about politics as Sijiucheng. They are more concerned about money.

The shrewd eyes in the crowd had already stared at the boxes of big and small on the decks of the three flying scissors, and people began to mumble.

The door of the main hall of the Chinese central bank was finally opened, and the well-known Jiangnan merchants surrounded the red-faced old shopkeeper Fan Jian. Just now, the old shopkeeper drank a large cup of ginseng soup in one sip, and his eyes were full of shinyness!

The street opposite the Huangpu River suddenly flew away. The temporary wooden trest was specially built for unloading goods, and it was covered with a big red carpet.

Shanghai Road, central bank guards, and even patrolmen from the British Concession came. According to the warning circle that had been set up before, people pulled out several isolation belts to protect the safety of these gods of wealth.

"Oh... the old shopkeeper has come forward! It seems that the rumors are true. The old shopkeeper is here to welcome the money!"

"Yes, yes... Oh, I regret it so much. If I had known the news was true, I would have eaten some stocks yesterday, and it must have risen now!"

"Haha, it's too late for you to regret it. Today, the old shopkeeper issued a temporary announcement to take a day off in the stock market in Jiangnan and stop trading!"

"Ouch...Ouch..." The little businessman who missed the opportunity stomped his feet in a hurry.

At this moment, no one cared about the wailing of the airmen, and everyone's attention was focused on the three flying scissors. At this moment, the sail driver had already begun to lower the last tail sail, and the speed of the ship had completely dropped. The power of the sailboat was completely driven by several small steam water-guiding boats.

It was under the push of the boat that the scissors slowly moved closer to the pier. With the order of Suzuki Tai, the sailor threw several cables to the shore.

The dock workers selected by the central bank were all young in their twenties and thirties. They tightened the cables with their upper body tendons and flesh, and began to tie the cables.

"By help... I'm going to get on... Let the reporter take the spot first... The old shopkeeper is slow, you should slow down..."

The crowd subconsciously wanted to rush forward, and the group of concession policemen and the yamen runners on Shanghai Road rushed back one after another, "Back back... all back..."

The big leather boots of the Chinese Marine Corps stepped on the red carpet, and the impact of the wooden trestle made a rumbling sound. The fully armed Marines quickly formed a circle on the street, becoming the last cordon.

Suzuki Tai walked to the old shopkeeper with a smile and stood attentively saluting, "Suzuki Tai, the battalion commander of the Expeditionary Force, escorted 320 tons of silver and several cultural relics to the central bank..."

"Old shopkeeper, this is a list. Please ask the staff of the central bank to accept the inventory! Remember to receive the receipt at the end, so I can go to the military department to submit the service!"

With a bang, the whole street suddenly became a sensation. "How much? How much money do you have to QQ my ears..."

"320 metric tons, the unit of measurement for foreigners... This is no more than 10 million silver dollars!"

"More than that, I will get at least 12 million silver dollars..."

"It's all the French who paid for it? Is the news from Europe true?"

The old shopkeeper was so excited that his beard started to blow. He patted Suzuki's shoulder, "Open the box, count it at the gate... Let the merchants in Jiangnan see with their own eyes..."

Mi Fu and Niu Jinfu smiled and laughed, "The old shopkeeper is right, let's open our eyes and see what the foreign devils are like!"

The workers were already lined up to the deck, and the wooden bars carried huge wooden boxes and began to unload goods to the Bund.

The wooden box was opened one by one, and the white silver inside was so dazzling that his eyes were blurred!

Silver is not a unit of measurement for currency in Europe, but Europe still uses the gold standard, so the silver shipped back to China this time is all real industrial silver ingots.

Ten kilograms, twenty kilograms, and even fifty kilograms of huge silver ingots, with dense numbers and French letters pressed on them.

No one can understand it, but no one will deny the authenticity of the money. In order to accelerate the inventory of 320 tons of silver, Fan Jian deliberately seconded some accounting and warehouse managers from foreign banks. These foreigners were able to identify the goods.

"The Paris Mint was minted in 1765... It's been in stock for more than a hundred years!"

"Look at this...the inscription from the Spanish Mint in 1734...God, this thing is almost a cultural relic!"

"The mark of Potosi Silver Capital... This was cast directly from the Potosi Silver Mine in South America..."

The staff were all crazy. They visited pieces of silver ingots in different categories and counted them on the streets of the Bund under the eyes of everyone.

Regardless of Hua Yang, reporters from all over Shanghai, have come, and the camera shutter is pressed again and again, and these photos will fly all over Jiangnan through newspapers tomorrow.

With a dead silence, tens of thousands of people on the Bund have lost their ability to speak at this moment. They are watching the silver mountains pile up little by little, getting higher and higher.

Five meters, ten meters...a pile, two piles, ten piles...

The silver box that was unloaded in the end was not the kind of exquisite reusable wooden box. The ones lifted out of the cabin were wooden boxes for temporary binding and transporting ordinary goods.

This kind of box cannot be reused even if it is opened. If a crowbar breaks a few wooden strips, the silver ingots will roll to the ground.

"Silver Mountain! It's really a mountain of silver!" Someone shouted, and then all the people shouted in unison, "Silver Mountain! The head of state is mighty! The Chinese people are mighty!"

The people of the Qing Dynasty were crazy at the scene. They finally understood that everything was true, and the news of victory like myths sent back from Europe was true.

The head of state did not deceive them, and the Chinese did not deceive them. The country's fortune really rose!

All the foreigners present were silent. They watched the excited emotions of the people in Jiangnan, and they were worried, and a strong sour smell turned back and forth in their hearts.

Seeing that the atmosphere was almost done, Suzuki nodded to his subordinates. The third flying scissor ship began to unload cultural relics, and the atmosphere became even more lively.

The huge oil painting "Napoleon Crossing the Pass of St. Bernard the Alps" was unveiled on the spot. Europeans are all aware of the goods. This painting is so famous in Europe!

"Look at... The painting "Napoleon I Coronation" was also stolen by the Chinese... God!"

European famous paintings are collected in cowhides that are placed in water. In order to prevent moisture, bags of charcoal are added to absorb the moisture in the cabins loaded with oil paintings.

The sea ships travel through the Mediterranean, the Indian Ocean, the South China Sea... There was no damage along the way!

The foreigners couldn't sit still, and even the ministers from various countries came out, watching these European art treasures being counted and put into the warehouse by the Chinese... https:
