Bourne: Command and Conquer

Chapter 965, Mayan Brotherhood

"please."

"please."

Rodhart entered the reception room.

 He didn't seem surprised to see Christian, who was dressed in a suit and tie and looked noble.

 They are all smart people.

 From the moment Zhang Yong appeared at the entrance of the Peace Hotel with his luxury motorcade, he basically guessed what Zhang Yong was going to do.

“Mr. Detective, unfortunately, half a million dollars has been lost.”

 “You should know the truth.”

"Yes. I know the truth. Otherwise, I wouldn't dare to receive Mr. Rodhart when he comes!"

"Why?"

“I hope Mr. Rodhart is here to add to the problem, not to destroy it. What do you think?”

 Zhang Yong is profound.

Rodhart was silent.

 Silence is also an attitude.

 Zhang Yong was satisfied with the other party’s attitude.

 At least, the other party did not object fiercely. This shows that Mr. Rodhart also has some calculations.

In fact, since Rodhart traveled thousands of miles to the far east to search for Christian's whereabouts, Zhang Yong knew that he was not an ordinary person. He also wants to stand out. He also wanted to make a name for himself. However, he lacked a chance.

 “How sure are you?”

 Finally, Rodhart spoke. It showed that he was moved.

 Push Christian up. Getting rich first leads to getting rich later. Oh, no. It is a person who attains the Way and a chicken or a dog ascends to heaven. He also gets huge benefits.

 “Three points.”

 “What? Only three points?”

Rodhart suddenly couldn't sit still. Are you kidding me?

 Only three points sure. Just dare you...

 Ah, I am really...

 “Yes. Three points.” Zhang Yong repeated the emphasis.

"You..." Rodhart was sitting on pins and needles.

 Not even walking.

Neither is sitting.

 It can’t reach the shore at both ends. The feet seemed to be hanging in the air.

Quiet.

  Long time.

"I'm a newbie. I have no experience." Zhang Yong said truthfully, "But if there is really gold, I will definitely be able to find it."

"I don't know how deep the gold is buried in the ground." Rodhart said angrily. "The metal detector can't even detect it. I've tried it. Even if it's sealed in reinforced concrete, the metal detector can't detect it. Not accurate at all.”

 “I’m very accurate.” Zhang Yong replied calmly.

 “You come with me...” Rodhart felt that it was necessary to give Zhang Yong a slap in the face.

 “Okay.” Zhang Yong stood up. Looks calm.

 Detecting gold?

 Warmly welcome!

 Where is the gold? Central America?

　　It’s okay. No matter how far it is. As long as it's on Earth.

certainly. not now. It's later. When I have free time, I will search for treasures all over the world...

etc!

  World War II…

 Merchant ship…

 It seems that many merchant ships were sunk.

 In the Ditan novel, it is mentioned that many treasure ships were sunk and buried at the bottom of the sea.

The gold they transported was also buried under the sea. When you have time, find them all.

What?

 The detection range is only 600 meters. Isn’t it enough?

 Isn’t there a submersible?

 Let’s go down in a submersible and search for it! Then use the map to detect...

 Suddenly a thought came to my mind.

The system prompts that the map monitoring radius has increased again.

 Increased from the original 600 meters to 650 meters…

surprise.

How can it be increased?

 Although it is only an increase of 50 meters. However, there is no upper limit!

Perhaps, after the end of World War II, it can be increased to more than 1,000 meters. Optimistically, maybe more…

 It is simply not very pleasant to use it to detect gold or something.

 Suddenly my mood became very good. I feel that my future is bright. Countless golden treasures beckon to me...

 When the 45-year war ends, I will fly around the world, looking for treasures everywhere...

"arrive."

Rodhart said suddenly.

 Zhang Yong came to his senses. Spot three gold symbols on the front.

Huh?

 Where is this?

 It seems to be next door to the concession? But it’s so desolate!

 Oh, it was the place of controversy at the beginning. Due to ownership issues, this place was abandoned.

 Simply put, there is no water or electricity. Naturally, no one is willing to build a shack.

 There are only some dilapidated bungalows. unoccupied.

 The gold mark is in those bungalows.

"This is…"

 “I’ll show you something.”

"oh…"

 Zhang Yong followed Rodhart.

 Enter a bungalow. Zhang Yong was surprised to find that there was a large statue lying inside.

 It is not a Buddha statue. But Western. Not right either. neither fish nor fowl. Lots of arms. Lots of eyes.

 Secretly curious. what?

"I got this from Sumatra. It is a statue built by the local people. It has eight arms, eight eyes, three heads and three legs."

"oh…"

“It is said that there is gold in it.”

"oh…"

 “But, I can’t be sure.”

"oh…"

"You just said that if there is gold, you will definitely be able to detect it. Now, please start detecting. Is there any gold in this statue..."

“Wouldn’t it be enough to just break it?”

"No. If there is gold, I will break it into pieces. If not, I will pull it back and I can sell it for some money."

"this…"

 Zhang Yong hesitated.

 The map shows that the statue of the **** has a gold mark.

 However, it can only indicate that there is gold inside. But the specific quantity cannot be indicated.

 If there is only one gold coin in it, it is still gold.

 “Are you guessing?”

 “I smell gold.”

“There is gold in it, right? Is that how you understand it?”

"Yes. There is indeed gold in it. However, the specific amount cannot be determined. It may be a lot. It may be very little."

“As long as there is gold, it means you are right.”

 “Okay, let’s smash it!”

 “If not, you have to compensate me for the loss.”

"certainly."

 “Eight hundred dollars.”

"Can."

 Zhang Yong nodded.

 Then just take out eight hundred dollars.

 He wasn’t trying to show off. Rodhart must be persuaded to cooperate.

Christian needs some help.

 He is a noble man. Of course it is impossible to show up for everything in person. That will lose your identity.

The more helpers there are, the more others will believe it. Only then can what they want to do be implemented more smoothly.

 The loss of eight hundred dollars is nothing.

 What’s more, it’s impossible for him to lose.

 Since the map prompt has a gold mark. There is definitely gold in there.

 “Bang!”

 “Bang!”

Rodhart himself smashed the statue into pieces.

I don’t know what material the statue is made of, and it’s not very strong. Just kind of huge.

 If it were erected, it would be about three meters high.

This Rodhart is also amazing. They were actually able to get it from Sumatra to Shanghai. And are you planning to go back to the beautiful country?

 “Crash…”

 “Crash…”

 The statue began to break.

The raw material seems to be stone? Not quite the same?

 Zhang Yong picked up a piece. Oh, it's a stone. But not granite. It's that kind of weathered stone.

 Have a certain intensity. But it is far from comparable to granite. No wonder it can be smashed easily. In fact, this kind of weathered rock can break into pieces if you drop it **** the ground.

"Huh?"

 Suddenly, Rodhart screamed.

 Zhang Yong looked up. I found a dark yellow thing rolling out.

 Perhaps the size of a child's hand. Strange shapes.

 It is gold.

 Wrong. It's gold nugget.

 It is the kind of naturally formed gold mine with extremely high gold content.

 Its weight is often more than several kilograms. Even more than 10 kilograms. The largest in the world is said to weigh tens of kilograms.

"ah…"

 Rodhart picked up the gold nugget.

Excited.

surprise.

　　Can't help but kiss desperately.

 Although this piece of gold nugget is not big, it weighs two or three kilograms.

 After refining, several hundred grams of pure gold should be obtained. This is a huge asset.

 Zhang Yong has a peaceful mind.

 Having full confidence in the future life.

 You see, you can easily find a piece of nugget gold.

 When the war is over and I run around the world, won’t I have gold at my fingertips?

hehe…

 If there is hanging, it is hanging.

 But now, I am calm and pretending to be profound...

 “Do you believe it?”

 “Where are the other two statues?”

 “There is also the smell of gold. But the amount is unknown.”

 “Good, good, good.”

Rodhart was already very satisfied.

 Then he put the nugget down.

The eyes are a little cunning.

“Zhang, have you heard about the treasures of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom?”

"What?"

 “Treasure of Tianjing.”

"have no idea."

 Zhang Yong shook his head.

 He has really never heard anyone mention it.

 It seems to be described in some street stall novels of later generations. But he didn't believe it. There must be treasures in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and Tianjing. But who was it that broke through Tianjing? It's Zeng Guoquan. He is the younger brother of Zeng Guofan. More ruthless than Zeng Guofan.

If Zeng Guofan is a razor, Zeng Guoquan is a chainsaw.

 The damage done by the razor is limited. But the chainsaw is invincible.

 No matter how many treasures there are in Tianjing, they were all dug out by Zeng Guoquan. Don't even think about leaving a single copper penny.

 “Godric knows it too.”

"What?"

“His ancestor was Gordon, the commander of the Foreign Gun Corps. He often dealt with the Taiping Army.”

"Yeah?"

 Zhang Yong was noncommittal.

 He thought about his current priority.

 It is to resist foreign aggression.

 His main time and energy will be used to catch Japanese spies. Protecting our country is the key.

Digging for treasures can only be scheduled after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War.

 What's more, Zhang Yong has no interest in these ancient treasures. It’s been a long time and you get twice the result with half the effort, so why waste time?

 “The Japanese are also looking for it.”

 “Wait until they find it. I’ll grab it again.”

 Zhang Yong was outspoken.

He was too lazy to bother himself.

 Are you anxious?

He would wait until the Japanese invaders were found before taking action.

 It is much faster to grab than to find.

“Zhang, can you really sense the future?”

"right."

 “What is the specific situation?”

 “Can sense big things that may happen in the future. But I don’t know small things.”

 “What counts as a big deal?”

 “It has an impact on the whole world. For example, Mr. Roosevelt was elected president.”

 “What about the 1940 election?”

 “Mr. Roosevelt was elected president.”

 “What about the 1944 election?”

 “It’s still Mr. Roosevelt.”

 “Four consecutive terms?”

"right."

 Zhang Yong replied calmly.

 That’s right. This is the historical fact.

 People today may find it very absurd.

 No novel is so absurd.

However, reality is often more absurd than fiction. There are indeed people who have been elected to four terms. But the last term has not expired...

 “Can you predict the Oscars?”

 “I’m sorry. The Oscars are not a major event that affects the world.”

 “Can’t feel it at all?”

"Not really. In a few years, there will be a movie called "Gone with the Wind." It will sweep the Oscars and win most of the awards. It is adapted from the novel "Gone with the Wind," which is also "Gone with the Wind." You Do you have any impressions of that novel?”

"Of course. That's one of my favorite novels. I also like Pride and Prejudice."

 “This is my prophecy.”

 Zhang Yong said casually. Then thoughts wander.

 He knows so much. Unfortunately, the conditions are insufficient and there is no way to show it concretely.

 But, others can!

There is so much hot money in Hollywood, we must find a way to generate some of it...

 “If your prophecy is true…”

“I am going to form a Mayan Brotherhood. Mr. Rodhart, will you join?”

 “Of course. I do.”

Rodhart agreed without hesitation.

 Zhang Yong’s miraculous ability made him believe that he would definitely not lose money.

Christian is completely unimportant.

 The most important thing is Zhang Yong.

 “By the way, Godric is coming soon too.”

 “Then I’ll leave first!”

 Zhang Yong then returned home.

 Back to Peace Hotel. Found some more people.

hehe.

　　They all come to test the movement.

 But it’s okay. Zhang Yong can take them all.

 Go upstairs.

 Enter the room.

 Tell Christian the matter simply.

 “Mayan Brotherhood?”

"right."

 “I don’t think this name is very attractive.”

 “Wealth attracts people.”

"All right."

Christian had no objection.

The addition of Rodhart can save him a lot of trouble.

At the same time, Rodhart can be helpful in many ways. As a private detective, Rodhart had a wide range of contacts.

 “We have a helper.”

"who?"

 “Godric.”

 “He’s from the FBI. How could he…”

 “Money and silk move people’s hearts.”

"That…"

Christian is looking forward to it.

If even Godric is willing to join, then there is really no hidden danger.

 “But are you sure he will join?”

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　Yes．Yes.

 Zhang Yong is full of confidence. smug.

 It is true that everyone has ambition.

So did Godric.

 As long as he has ambitions and demands, the Mayan Brotherhood is his best platform.

 In the afternoon, a marked white spot appeared on the edge of the map.

Check. Discovered to be Godric.

 Sure enough, he came.

 Well, a warm welcome.

 “Here comes Godric.”

"good."

Christian was no longer surprised.

 He was already convinced of Zhang Yong's ability.

 When working with such a person, he does not need to worry about any accidents.

Soon, someone came to report, and Godric asked to see him.

 Zhang Yong opened the door and invited him in.

Godric had a straight face and said coldly: "Zhang..."

 Zhang Yong reached out and interrupted him, "Mr. Godric, do you want to become the deputy director of the FBI?"

 “What?” Godric was stunned.

“Mr. Godrick, I’m asking you seriously, do you want to be the Deputy Director of the FBI?”

"Are you crazy?"

 “I’m not crazy. I’m serious. Do you want to be the deputy director of the FBI?”

 “You must be crazy…”

"I can tell you unequivocally that Hoover will continue to serve as director for the next ten years. No one can shake his position. Therefore, your only chance is to be the deputy director."

 “I’m just a little agent…”

 “What if you have accomplished many meritorious deeds?”

 “It is my meritorious service to bring Christian back.”

"no."

"Why?"

 “Because he can help you become the deputy director.”

 “Joke.”

 “Have you ever understood me?”

"What?"

“A year ago, I was still a gangster in Shanghai. But what is my status now?”

"you…"

Godric was silent.

 No one doesn’t want to make progress. So do foreigners.

Who doesn’t want to be a high official and well paid?

Who doesn’t want to be in power?

“Hold on to President Roosevelt and you might even become Secret Service Director.”

"impossible."

“Nothing is impossible. In the next ten years, we have countless opportunities.”

 Zhang Yong’s tone was calm.

 Perhaps others thought he was bragging.

 Only he knows that what he is stating is a fact. There is a chance.

If they listened, he could help them find a lucrative job.

 Have a way to make money.

have a future.

 Have both fame and fortune. Life is complete.

"Zhang, I know, you are trying to use him to do something big..."

 “We are cooperative.”

"cooperate…"

“We have established a Mayan Brotherhood. The Mayan prophecies will bring bright prospects to each of us.”

 “Then what are my prospects?”

 “Eagle’s talons.”

"What's the meaning?"

“Deputy Director of the FBI. Director of the Secret Service. In the longer future, you may even become the new Secretary of Homeland Security.”

“Department of Homeland Security?”

“Yes. A completely independent department. Responsible only to the President. No longer part of the Treasury Department.”

"this…"

Godric felt that Zhang Yong was bragging.

 However, looking at Zhang Yong’s face, it seems that he is not bragging. This seems to be the case.

 In fact, Zhang Yong was not bragging.

 Since the next generation can establish the Department of Homeland Security. So, it's not impossible to do it decades in advance.

 Deputy Director, Director, Minister…

 “Mr. Godric, do you want to join the Mayan Brotherhood?”
