Chapter 2007

“This is simply a gem in the art world!”

A federal technology connoisseur from Gefra carefully put the magnifying glass back into his pocket. His hands in velvet gloves gently stroked the slate, and the luster in his eyes was like seeing a naked buttock for the first time decades ago. A woman full of obsession and desire to explore!
In front of him was a three-meter-long stone slab, and there were seven other such stone slabs, which together were 30 meters long.

It is the body of the legendary "Taihela Epic", a giant narrative wall sculpture.

It was born about 2000 years ago, and it records the process of a civilization called "Taihela" from tribes to prosperity, and to death.

It has an extremely important position in the art world and in the history world, and it has extremely high value!
The place where it existed was conquered by Penteo, and this giant wall sculpture was also disassembled and became a royal collection.

But now, it appeared in the Federation, in front of Lynch.

In fact, from Lynch's point of view, the carving level of these wall sculptures is not superb, it looks very simple and rough, it can be said that it is not worth much money.

However, these connoisseurs are very fond of it, just like the one in front of you, gently stroking it with slightly trembling hands, just like stroking a girl's skin that has a little goosebumps due to the contact reaction!

"At the end of the Taihela Dynasty, King Sekan asked the ten most outstanding master carvers at that time to record the history of the entire Taihela Dynasty in this way."

"He told those sculptors that there is no eternal dynasty in the world, just like there is no eternal human being."

"But the stone will last forever, it can faithfully record everything that the Taihela Dynasty once had!"

"These engravers were great and outstanding masters, and their work alone is now priceless."

"Not to mention such a joint work that brings together the painstaking efforts of ten masters!"

"It's a beacon of history, illuminating a time gone by!"

Look, this is an artist, and they all speak so nicely, but Lynch doesn't care about that.

"How much is it worth?"

Connoisseurs didn't express their displeasure many times, let alone say "don't desecrate art with your dirty money" or anything like that.

In the Commonwealth, banknotes are the truly supreme works of art!
The connoisseurs discussed with each other for a while, and gave Lynch a rough quotation——

"Thirty-five million, Mr. Lynch. Although it is very precious, its form of expression is not suitable for personal collection."

"It's also not that well displayed, you know, the two mainstream factions in the collecting world right now."

"Either to show off their collection, to show the depth of their collection, these people need collections that are easy to display."

"It's not big, and it can even be held in your hand, as long as it has a high collection value."

"Another faction, they are only interested in value, these people are not keen on collecting, they are keen on changes in price."

"The "Taihela Epic Wall Sculpture" is not among them, it is extremely difficult to display, and the price will not change much."

"Although its historical value is very high, but the price is the most, that's how it is done!"

Very fair price, even connoisseurs are a little overwhelmed.

He thinks that 4000 million to 5000 million should not be a big problem, and such collections are actually not suitable for personal collections.

It should be placed in a museum and displayed to people so that people can learn about a dynasty that once existed in history through it.

To unravel the fog of history and let people approach the prosperity and decline of Taihela.

If you can feel something from it and get some educational significance, that would be even better!

Lynch nodded slightly, turned around and quoted a price to the person who was recording, "This is up to 500 million, if it is higher than this number, let it go."

The connoisseur opened his mouth and wanted to say that art is priceless, but he didn't say anything in the end.

When he took Lynch's money, he should speak for Lynch. Even if he didn't want to express such thoughts, at least he had to keep his mouth shut and know what to say and what not to say.

Throughout the day, Lynch was appreciating various works of art.

Artwork is different from gold and jewelry.

As long as the gold is big enough, and the jewelry is pure enough and heavy enough, it must be a good thing.

But art is different.

Some things you think are shit, but those who do art think... this is the truth of the fucking universe!
There is an artist in the Commonwealth who peels apples in his art gallery for a week, and then takes two bites of the peeled apples.

The peeled apple peels were randomly placed on a plate, and the bitten apples were also placed on the plate, and a photo was taken.

Photographs, negatives are sold with this plate of apples and apple peels.

A lot of people are fighting over their heads to grab the rubbish!

In the end, seven apples, apple peels, plates, photos, and negatives were sold for a total of more than 17.

Art appreciation has become a status symbol in the Commonwealth, and many people are keen to learn such knowledge.

Lynch was not among them.

A large number of works of art keep these connoisseurs busy, but they are very happy, because many of them are the collections of various royal families in the past.

Logically speaking, it is absolutely impossible for these things to spread to the people. At most, they can get a glimpse of it from photos in newspapers and magazines.

As for touching with hands, there is no place to even think about it.

Lynch spent several days bargaining.

Sometimes a zero is cut off directly.

At first, the Pengjieao people couldn't accept it, but after a few days, they could only hold their noses and admit it. They really couldn't drag it any longer.

According to the words of connoisseurs, the works of art worth about 120 billion were only estimated at 50 billion in the end.

For the remaining about 20 billion, a loan agreement was signed.

The Penteio government borrowed 20 billion federal soles from the Federal Blackstone Bank, calculated at the current annual interest rate of 20.00% and [-], and the principal and interest will be repaid within five years.

If the principal and interest are not repaid, Blackstone Bank will have the right to take any action to recover the loan.

The Pengjieao people thought about it and signed the document.

Lynch and Blackstone Bank will not lend them money because they already owe Lynch 20 billion.

The 20 billion in the agreement is used to pay the final payment for the purchase of aircraft technology and production processes.

In other words, the money was only transferred from the bank account to Lynch's personal account, and the money remained unchanged in the bank, only the account changed.

As for their non-repayment?
The federal government will help Lynch solve this problem.

Lynch handed over the materials to the International Affairs Department under the review of the Security Committee, and then the International Affairs Department handed it over to Peng Jieaofang.

Both parties checked the completeness and content of the documents, and then the transaction was considered complete.

Peng Jieao also agreed to some of the slightly excessive demands of the Federation.

Even in terms of negotiations with Gefla, many differences were quickly resolved.

In late September, under the eyes of everyone in Bupain, His Royal Highness the Second Prince of the Pengjieo Empire, on behalf of the entire empire, submitted a letter of surrender to the Federation and signed the "Baipen Treaty."

Peace finally returned to the world in the third quarter of the fourth year when the war broke out.

According to statistics, in this war, about 400 million people died in the war, more than 5000 million people were injured, and more than [-] million families were affected by the war!
But it's clear to everyone that this isn't the end.

This will not be the last large-scale war in human history. They have squeezed their own wealth from the Penteio Empire, and they want to buy the most advanced fighter jet technology and production technology from the Federation. It can be seen that they are still dissatisfied.

They will start to accumulate strength, and when they have the courage to face the whole world again, the next war that will affect the world will break out!

On September [-], Mr. Truman started his speech with a crisp "We have won" in his televised speech to the whole country, giving an exciting televised speech!

He spoke of the difficulties encountered in the war, of the difficulties the Unionists faced in the war in the early days of the war.

He talked about people's courage to face the war gradually in the face of the aggression of the evil government of Penteio, and their efforts to gradually grasp the rhythm of the war!
He talked about the middle and late stages of the war, the sacrifices people were willing to make for victory, and also about the victory now!

"Victory is a false victory if it is not bloodshed and sacrificed!"

"I don't encourage people to shed blood and sacrifice, but we must recognize this fact!"

"Only by fighting, fighting with sacrifice and death, and defending our rights, can we make it to the end!"

"I also hope that everyone, everyone in front of the TV, can join me in mourning for a minute of silence for our heroes who died in the war..."

As his words fell, people lowered their heads spontaneously, with the figures of the soldiers who gave everything for peace in their hearts, mourning and praying.

In the second half of the televised speech, Mr. Truman also talked about the current phenomenon of federal financial overheating.

International hot money once again entered the federation, crazier than last time!

The last time these international hot money brought excessive inflation to the federal finance, and then they walked away, leaving people with the Great Depression.

This time, the Federation people will not allow them to easily hurt the kind people of the Federation.

He also talked about some other things, in favor of the reconstruction and revision of people's livelihood, finance, and social sectors after the war.

In the name of the victor of the war, to exercise his power, people cheer for him!
On the street, people spontaneously held a celebration parade to celebrate the victory of the war and the Federation becoming the leader of the world!
That kind of smile from the heart can melt everything!
Even though the front is full of difficulties and obstacles, the thorns are dense, and the people cheer from the heart, Mr. Truman has the courage to go for it!
