Reborn in the 60s, starting with going to the mountains and countryside

Chapter 673 Heading to St. Petersburg

Zuo Lei has a character that refuses to admit defeat. Regarding Zuo's father's instructions, she basically goes in one ear and out the other.

Of course, she still listened to a passage, that was about Wang Rong.

Both Ye Hao and his father seemed to admire Wang Rong's experience in the past few years, which made Zuo Lei, who refused to admit defeat, become interested.

In her opinion, Wang Rong is just a nerd, not as powerful as Ye Hao and his father said.

Driven by curiosity, Zuo Lei became interested in Wang Rong and planned to find out what Wang Rong had been doing in the past few years.

As for the principle of confidentiality mentioned by Wang Rong before, Zuo Lei was a little scornful. After spending a year together in the countryside, Zuo Lei really didn't believe that Wang Rong could participate in any important research.

In fact, it's not surprising that Zuo Lei is suspicious. Anyone facing this situation will be skeptical. It's like an inconspicuous classmate who hasn't been seen for several years and suddenly becomes a researcher at the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

Naturally, others were unaware of Zuo Lei's change in mentality. Ye Hao and Li Waner were lying on the bed and talking about today's events.

"Husband, what kind of boys do you think Leilei likes?" Li Waner turned her head and looked at Ye Hao and asked.

"How did I know that? You and Leilei are often together. Don't you know what kind of boys she likes?" Ye Hao was a little speechless. If you ask this question, he and Zuo Lei can only be regarded as ordinary friends.

"Well, she didn't agree with the boys that Leilei's family introduced to her before, and she doesn't know what kind of guy she is looking for. I think Wang Rong is quite good, educated, and honest..." Maybe it's Today, the first attempt to connect someone failed, and Li Waner was a little frustrated.

"Wan'er, I don't want to do this anymore. You can't force me to force myself to do this. Okay, go to bed..." Ye Hao didn't want to make Li Waner feel depressed because of this. But there is a little baby.

In the evening, Ye Hao came to Fog City, found a public phone, and dialed the number left by [Lelin Auction].

Over the phone, Ye Hao determined the auction time.

Because the items were too precious, [Lelin Auction] decided to auction the oil paintings sent by Ye Hao one month later.

During this month, the auction house will conduct publicity.

After all, it is an underground auction house. It cannot be promoted on TV, radio, and newspapers like a public auction house. It can only be promoted through the network established by [Lelin Auction] over the years.

[Lelin Auction] also knew the importance of this oil painting. The news was spread extremely secretly, and the selected customers were as much as possible from other countries in Europe except John Bull.

The auction house didn't want to be visited by MI6 before the auction started.

Although the bosses behind it are very energetic, they don’t want to go against the entire John Bull Nation unless they have to.

After confirming the auction time, Ye Hao was not in a hurry and waited until the day of the auction to go and have a look.

After leaving the foggy city, Ye Hao first went to Mao Xiong's valley arsenal to check, and found nothing unusual before returning to Maosko.

Ye Hao is going to St. Petersburg to visit the Hermitage Museum, one of the four major museums in the world.

When he arrived at the airport, Ye Hao discovered that without proof, it was impossible to buy a ticket to St. Petersburg in Mausko.

You can buy train tickets, but the time is definitely not allowed.

The straight-line distance is more than 600 kilometers, plus the time for stops along the way, it will definitely not be possible to reach it in one night.

In the end, Ye Hao decided to drive there.

Even if you can't get there overnight, you can still bind the coordinates and continue setting off the next day.

I did what I thought of and got a motorcycle, which is common here in Mao Xiong, and set off directly.

As for why he doesn't drive a car, Ye Hao said that motorcycles are convenient, and given the road conditions in this era and the fact that this is a furry bear, it's better to keep a low profile.

The speed of motorcycles is not slower than that of cars, and the weather is not cold now, so riding a motorcycle feels pretty good.

Before dawn in the capital, Ye Hao returned to the capital. Due to the long delay, Ye Hao only advanced half of the distance in half a night.

The next day, after another half-night ride, Ye Hao arrived in St. Petersburg.

When we came here, the whole city had fallen asleep.

Ye Hao, who didn't want to attract too much attention, didn't wander around St. Petersburg at night.

Return directly to your home in Beijing.

......

St. Petersburg plays an important role for the Bear.

During World War II, a tragic history took place here.

The German army besieged the city for 872 days, which was the longest siege and counter-siege operation during World War II.

The Mao Xiong soldiers and civilians began the difficult battle to defend St. Petersburg. The Battle of St. Petersburg was ultimately victorious, but at a heavy price.

According to statistics, a total of 642000 people died of hunger and cold in St. Petersburg, more than 3200 people died from German air raids and shelling, buildings were destroyed, the city was beyond recognition, and the streets turned into piles of rubble.

After the war, the Bear began to rebuild its home and restored the monuments destroyed by German artillery fire one by one. After the hard work of artists and craftsmen, the city regained its former glory. Today, St. Petersburg has the title of the Cultural Capital of the Bear.

When we came to St. Petersburg, we were surrounded by eighteenth- and nineteenth-century buildings. The Hermitage Museum, Ye Hao’s goal, is located on the banks of the Neva River. The palace has three floors, about 230 meters long, 140 meters wide, and 22 meters high. 9 meters in size, in a closed rectangular shape, covering an area of ​​4.6 square meters, with a construction area of ​​more than square meters. It is easy to find.

As the private residence of Queen Catherine II, the entire building looks solemn and majestic from the outside.

It contains collections from all over the world.

The museum's large-scale building on the banks of the Neva River is itself a huge work of art, an almost perfect interpretation of what the Baroque style is.

The museum has an extremely rich collection, with 270 million cultural relics of various types. Among them, there are about 1.5 paintings, 1.2 sculptures, about 62 prints and sketches, about 60 unearthed cultural relics, about 26 pieces of practical art, and about 100 million coins and medals.

The main collections include woolly bears and rare treasures from various countries, ancient Greek and Roman sculptures, Western European medieval to modern sculptures and paintings: ancient Greek artworks, Impressionist and post-Impressionist paintings.

Of course, there are also various precious works of art plundered from the Dragon Kingdom.

This is also the purpose of Ye Hao coming here this time.

People from the Dragon Kingdom were not allowed to visit the Dragon Kingdom Pavilion in this museum. Ye Hao was curious about what was inside that made Mao Xiong so secretive.
