Chapter 1195: It's Okay to Strike

On January 28th, Zhang Nan, who had only been back in New York for a week, took his own plane to Europe again, this time to Bordeaux, the land of fine wine.

It had to be done, but it was time to hurry, because Jenny and Alice would probably have a baby in late February or early March, and they would have to return to New York at least a week before that.

After waking up from the bedroom, I went out of the bedroom to the living room of the plane, and saw Jerry Goodencowan talking to Rick Becker, another self-employed expert on the history of antiquities, in a loud voice, as if discussing the secret mark on the "Jacques de Molay Cross".

There was also a lot of information on the coffee table, and there was even a huge satellite map, and I was pointing and pointing while talking, with a slight disagreement.

Seeing this situation, Zhang Nan smiled at the two of them and said, "You were talking four hours ago, why is it not over yet?"

Neither of them noticed him coming in just now, and when they heard the words, they stopped discussing, and Jerry said to Zhang Nan, who was sitting on the sofa: "Boss, it's the last two secret questions."

Jacques Molay left three definite locations, and we still think there are five, and the last two should be linked to other texts..."

"Study slowly, don't rush, what we have is time. ”

It all started with that huge Jacques de Molay cross.

Any precious object can be named, and this is the name proposed by the two experts, because after all the gems set have been removed, it was discovered that the cross was actually a treasure map of the Templar headquarters property left by Jacques de Molay!

Jacques de Molay, born between 1240 and 1250 and died on 22 March 1314, became the twenty-third and last Grand Master of the Templar Order on 20 April 1292, alongside Hugo de Payin, the founder of the Templars.

Because the black-hearted Philips IV owed a huge debt to the Crusaders because of the previous Crusades, and the Knights Templar became his biggest creditor.

His Majesty wanted to merge the various knights into his own name, so that he could greatly increase his strength, and secondly, his previous debts could be written off, and he even wanted to put his power above the Pope!

Pope Boniface VIII was so unhappy with this that he tried to excommunicate Philip IV, but Philip IV took control of him and tried him on pagan charges, and although Boniface VIII was eventually rescued, he soon died of fright.

The successor, Pope Benedict XI, did not live long, and died less than a year after becoming pope, most likely poisoned by Philips IV.

Protestant-Emperor Clement V had to submit to Philips IV to a certain extent, and even moved the entire Catholic Church from Italy to France.

The Grand Master of the Templar Order, Jacques Molay, of course, did not agree to the integration of the Crusaders, and as a result, he was burned at the stake along with the Knights of Normandy and the Knights of Aquitaine.

During his seven years of capture and execution, according to legend and account, Molay knew in prison that the shameless Philip IV was going to destroy the Templar Order once and for all, so he managed to summon his nephew, Count Guichet-de-Boge, to meet him in prison.

He had his nephew secretly inherit the position of Grand Master, and asked the Count to swear to save the Knights Templar and preserve the Knights' treasures until the end of the world.

Molay then told his nephew that the remains of his former High Priest were no longer in the tomb, and that the Knights Templar's archives were placed in the tomb.

Through these archives, you can find a huge number of treasures brought from the Holy Land of Jerusalem: among them are the crowns of more than 20 kings of the Kingdom of Jerusalem, as well as the seven candlesticks in Solomon's Temple, and four books of gold and music written in Latin gold calligraphy from the ancient Roman era in the second century AD.

Of course, this is just one of many legends, and some of the legends are that Jacques Molay had a premonition that Philip IV was going to commit a crime before his arrest, so he made precautionary preparations in advance: not only did he transfer the treasures shared by the Knights, but he also informed his Templars to secretly transfer their property.

At present, the "early transfer theory" is correct.

The Jacques de Molay Cross, found in Kitzbier, is actually a hidden treasure map made by Grand Master before his capture, and the text inside indicates three of the Order's treasure spots.

There are also two locations marked in the form of secret marks, but before the secret mark is cracked, only the approximate locations of these two places are known, and the exact location cannot be known: these two secret plots may not be treasure spots, which must be thoroughly understood.

Zhang Nan is a doer, first figure out the three locations that are clearly marked!

The nearest point was near Bordeaux, and after figuring out the situation the day before yesterday, Zhang Nan asked a question that seemed silly to others: the Knights Templar had transferred their property out of France in advance, so why did they put some of it in Bordeaux?

Then, including Nicole, Andre Jerry, and others all looked at him with eyes that were difficult to put into words.

In the end, Nicole told Zhang Nan the reason: Simple, medieval France is not today's France, from 1154 to 1453 for 300 years, Bordeaux is British territory at all!

Well, Zhang Nan can only say that he is a Chinese.

At noon, the plane arrived at Bordeaux airport, and this time the plane had just passed through the VIP passage, and I saw through the thick glass that the waiting hall of the airport was densely packed with people!

"What day is today, how can it be like the Spring Festival?"

The weather is good, and the backlog of such passengers is obviously abnormal.

When Paul heard this, he knew what the Spring Festival was, so he casually explained: "Probably the French are on strike, this one looks like an airline, I don't know if it's a strike to fly planes, or if the airlines are in solidarity with other departments to support the strike." ”

"Oh. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Nan suddenly reacted, ", why is France striking again?!"

As everyone walked, several of them couldn't help but laugh when they heard the boss's words suddenly wake up.

Jerry in front of him said with a smile: "France is on strike every day, working in the spring, exclusive in the summer, striking in the fall, and celebrating the holidays in the winter, the French tradition."

But boss, this time it's a little strange, now that winter hasn't passed, why are they striking again?"

Well, as he spoke, Jerry found himself getting around as well, and he couldn't figure out the situation.

Chariz Theron came with her this trip, she is now a member of the "treasure hunt team", heard everyone laughing, and then looked at the helpless crowd in the hall on the other side of the glass, and said: "Who knows, maybe there are people who feel that the salary increase is not as profitable as the company."

Anyway, the French are idle and idle, and it's normal to strike if they have nothing to do. ”
