The destroyer has a high degree of automation and only needs about sixty crew members. For the sake of gold, Xu Ziling had already asked Jiangnan Factory to double the number of personnel in the name of long-distance rotation. Ma Jiang informed the ship that in less than ten minutes,

A team of fifty came with many tools.

Once again emphasizing confidentiality, a group of people quickly got busy. By the time a few tents were set up, those responsible for cleaning up the cave had also finished.

"It's cleaned up, okay, let's go in and take a look."

Liu Long and Li Cheng, who had been waiting anxiously, entered the cave first. The bones inside had been cleared to both sides. As long as they stopped looking at it, they were not as shocked as before. After walking about two hundred meters, another iron door blocked them.

In front.

This time, Li Cheng didn't need to do anything himself. After giving the order, several soldiers who had been waiting smashed the lock in a few clicks, and then worked together to push the door open.

"There is a generator here, let's see if it can still be used." Behind the iron gate was another cave. Xu Ziling pointed his flashlight to the right side of the door and said to a soldier.

The soldier ran over and said loudly after a while: "There is still spare oil, it should be able to be used." As he said, he heard the sound of clanking, the generator roared, and then on the roof of the cave

Several lights flickered on and off for a few times before lighting up.

…

"Is it all gold?" The cave was filled with boxes, and there were several scattered boxes beside it. Several gold bars fell to the ground. Li Cheng said with a smile while carrying a gold bar with both hands.

An inch of gold, an inch of gold, a gold bar is more than 20 centimeters long, seven to eight centimeters wide, and five centimeters high, weighing nearly 20 kilograms. It is really heavy in the hand. When Xu Ziling held it with one hand, he felt a weight in his hand.

Shen, besides being excited, he was still excited.

Calculating the value, I found that the diamond mine was more valuable than this place before, but I was definitely not as excited at that time. After all, diamonds are buried in the soil, and without this pile of gold, it would look intuitive.

Yang Ruolan and the girls were not as interested in gold as the men. What they always kept in mind were the jewels. They were fascinated by seeing Xu Ziling and others holding the gold. They quickly woke them up and said they should go first.

Find jewelry.

"Jewelry, so... so..."

Several people woke up from a dream, put down the gold in their hands, then picked up the tablet and started looking for the jewelry in a pile of boxes.

The lion had already marked it, and according to the mark, the group of people quickly found hundreds of boxes of the same size stacked on the other side.

"Pry open."

Li Cheng took it upon himself to pry open one of the boxes in a few clicks.

"Ah..." several women screamed.

The box is full of polished gemstones of various colors, emeralds, rubies and sapphires. Under the illumination of the light, they emit colorful haloes, which makes people enchanted.

"Damn it, how much is this worth?" Liu Long grabbed a handful of gems that were as small as a thumb and put them in front of his eyes, shouting loudly.

Several women glanced at him and each picked up a few of the largest gems. "It's so vulgar. Can such beautiful gems be measured by money?"

…

If you don’t use money to measure it, then what should you use to measure it? Liu Long thought this in his heart, but he didn’t dare to say anything, because he knew that a group of women would be absolutely terrifying when they were together, especially if there were a few with particularly high martial arts values.

Yes, once you piss off a few of them, it will be bad luck.

The matter was none of their business, and they were not talking about themselves. Of course Xu Ziling and the others would not interrupt, and everyone smiled secretly, pretending not to notice Liu Long's awkward look.

"Open them all and take a look." After reading one box, several women refused to give up and kept urging them to open the other boxes as well.

Xu Ziling and the others also wanted to see what was inside, so they immediately moved together to move twenty of the boxes, put them on the ground, and then opened them one by one.

Gems, jewelry, paintings with obvious Southeast Asian style, and various antiques are all dazzling.

"It seems that there are not many antiques in our country." Mr. Nie also likes to collect. Under his influence, Nie Yunjie also knows a little about this business. He looked through several boxes containing antiques and said with disappointment.

"Collection does not respect national boundaries." Xu Ziling smiled, "This batch of things were collected by the islanders in Southeast Asia. Of course, there are more local-style things, but I will definitely have things from our country. After all, in that era

, there should be a lot of cultural relics flowing from China to Southeast Asia."

"That's true. I have to get a few good ones and send them back to my old man. Otherwise, if he knows that we got so many gadgets and didn't send a few to him, he will have to break my legs."

"Hehe..." Xu Ziling smiled and said nothing.

Mr. Nie was quite strict with his juniors, and collecting was his only hobby in his later years. If this was the case, he would definitely not break his legs like Nie Yunjie said, but would scold him and say he had no filial piety.

There will definitely be.

After watching for a while, several people recovered from their excitement, and while several women were discussing which gem was the most beautiful, they stood together.

"Should we start moving now, or what should we do?" Yang Kaiming said.

Xu Ziling looked at the pile of boxes and counted the people they could use. "Let's start moving now. Except for the security personnel, all other personnel will come. Otherwise, we won't be able to finish it in two days."

"Then what should they do?" Nie Yunjie looked at Ma Jiang and others who offered to be on guard outside.

No matter how much gold will be turned over to the national treasury in the end, it is now a private mission. Ma Jiang and the others will be credited with first-class collective merit. They are sure of this, but these people must know how much gold there actually is.

, they will know exactly how much Red Star has won by then.

Hongxing is not worried about pressure from the top, but does not want the matter to be spread. Although Tang Jiannian can keep them secret, this kind of thing cannot be completely stopped by a single order.

As soon as Nie Yunjie said this, the others immediately knew what he meant.

"It seems that people who are seconded will get a subsidy from Jiangnan Factory?" Liu Long suddenly said, "Set aside a ton to establish a special welfare fund, or share it equally among the people who are on the mission this time."

Soldiers are human beings too and have to live. Compared to ordinary people, their welfare is better, but not much better. Compared with what they pay for this country, they deserve more.

It is indeed a feasible way to share a small part of the benefits.

At least it can calm any possible complaints about personal tasks.

A ton of gold is worth 300 million, but they don't care. They use it for public use and they should pay a little.

"It's all for welfare, and it will definitely have a bad impact. I think part of it is for welfare, and part of it is for the South China Sea Fleet to handle on its own." Nie Yunjie thought for a while and said.

Xu Ziling, Yang Kaiming, and Li Cheng were originally soldiers. Their nature as soldiers meant that they had no worries about the confidentiality of these people or any complaints from these people. However, since Liu Long and Nie Yunjie mentioned this, they also had no concerns about the South China Sea Fleet.

There are only good things about it, so they naturally have no objections, they just nodded and it was passed.

"Old Ma." After greeting Ma Jiang at the door, he immediately ran in.

"What's the matter?" His eyes were a little red at this time, and he was obviously shocked by the scene in front of him.

Xu Ziling picked up a gold bar from the ground, stuffed it into his hand, and pointed at the boxes piled up on a hill, "I won't hide it from you. So far, this mission is just a private mission. This is yours.

Among these boxes, there are a ton that belong to everyone present today. I will discuss the specific details with the fleet, so don’t worry about any problems."

Ma Jiang did not expect that this was just a private action of the Red Star people. He also thought about reporting it to the superiors. However, with Red Star's ability, if he really wanted to do something, the superiors would not object. He was just offending him by doing so.

It’s just a human being, so I gave up that idea.

Now that he suddenly saw Xu Ziling coming, he immediately thought that he was blocking their mouths, and the gold bar in his hand suddenly became a hot potato, leaving him wondering what to do.

Seeing him like this, Xu Ziling understood his concerns. Without waiting for him to say anything, he added: "Don't think blindly. I just said that it is still a private mission. When I get back, the fleet will definitely give you a detailed report."

I will inform you, and I will definitely talk to you. Not all of this ton is given to you, part of it belongs to the fleet, and the rest is for everyone’s welfare. So, you should understand?”

Ma Jiang nodded blankly, then thought of something again, and handed the gold bar in his hand to Xu Ziling, "Since the fleet has a share, then this one for me is not suitable. Besides, my current allowance is not low, it is enough.

"

Ma Jiang was cheerful and not dull, but he also had the practicality that most soldiers have. Seeing his move, Xu Ziling smiled and pushed him back: "The allowance is not low for your level, but you have a son and a daughter.

, studying abroad, buying a house, etc. will cost a lot of money in the future, so just accept it, there is a lot of it anyway."

"That's right, Lao Ma, please don't be so sentimental. You've helped Jiangnan Factory a lot in the past two years, and our brothers didn't say anything. Just think of it as thanking you for your help. Don't worry about the higher ups, we will communicate with you."

of."

Nie Yunjie and others also tried to persuade him.

Ma Jiang has just reached the age of 40, and his two children have reached university age. Whether they study abroad in the future or buy a house after graduation, they will need a lot of money. He is not the kind of aloof person, and Xu Ziling and others are like this.

Having said that, I accepted it.

"Okay, I will remember everyone's affection."

"That's right." Xu Ziling smiled, "There is no political commissar in the sea trial. Brothers below, you still have to say something and do the work. Also, if possible, send these things to the ship immediately.
