Chapter 18

The discussion with Tsegseg and Batbayar about the division of the elements found in the cave was brief and friendly. In fact, the Mongols kept all the metallic components and all documentation whose origin was unmistakably Mongolian. On the opposite side Baron von Ungern von Sternberg had played an important role in the life of the country but only during an ephemeral period. In addition, ultimately, despite his eccentric passion for Lamaism and Buddhism, he was a European and his diaries would not have much value for the current descendants of Bogd Khan.

The negotiations were done by Jack and Dennis on the side of the members of the Bluthund Community and Batbayar with the silent presence of Tsegseg by the Mongols.
