Chapter 969: Gold Sample

Nazi gold trains have been rumored for a long time, and it is said that in an underground tunnel in the northern foothills of the Sudetenland near the city of Waubrzhch in present-day Poland, Nazi Germany's gold train to southwestern Germany at the end of World War II was hidden and laden with gold, precious stones, and weapons!

The city of VΕ‚bΕ™ich was only 20 kilometers from the present-day border between Poland and Czechoslovakia, and at the beginning of 1945 it was located entirely in the context of the Third Reich itself. Now, of course, it is Polish territory, where the Germans, like the Germans in the Sudetenland next door, were forcibly driven to the current German borders after World War II.

Of course, it is not said in the books: in the territorial adjustment and the great migration of peoples after the Second World War...

"Adjustment" and "Great National Migration" also deserve the bad luck of the Germans who live there, history is written by the victors - for the Germans, the ghost is willing to "migrate, adjust!"

Because the legend of the golden train has been around for a long time, Guan Xingquan, who has read the Nazi World War II treasure materials in detail, certainly knows about it, so he will be so careful in case there is a bomb inside.

As for the origin of the train, it is said that in the spring of 45, when the Soviet Red Army was about to encircle the eastern German city of Breslau (now Wroclaw, Poland), the Nazis would be in the local area, loading gold and all other treasures on a train and heading southwest to the depths of Germany.

Breslau (Wroclaw) had a population of more than 500,000 at the time, and it was the largest city lost by Germany after the war, and the original German residents were forced to move westward, and at the same time moved to a large number of Poles in eastern Poland ceded to the territory of the Soviet Union, and now Wroclaw has become a purely Polish city in terms of population composition.

The Nazis already knew the end of Breslau at that time, and whatever was left behind would be cheap for the Poles, who, of course, would do everything to get it to the homeland in depth.

However, the destination of the golden train is unknown, and the train disappeared anyway, and countless treasure hunters have searched for it for decades without success.

In fact, according to the actual situation at the end of the war, there was definitely more than one such train, and as the strategic space of the Third Reich was repeatedly compressed, the trains carrying high-value goods continued to move into the depths of the empire, and the legendary "golden train" was just one of them.

This is the end of the legend that Guan Lao knows, and Zhang Nan knows even more, because in his previous life, he is said to have started digging up the "golden train": sometime in the 21st century, an unknown old man confided on his deathbed that he himself had participated in the operation to hide the train.

The train was hidden in a tunnel with a collapsed entrance and explosive devices. The old man also handed over a "treasure map" with a picture of the train's possible hiding place.

Well, like a myth: a golden treasure, an unknown old man, a treasure map...

Who would have stabbed this out when they were too old to die?

The normal situation should be to dig up the treasure when the situation is stable and the body is strong, and even in the Cold War, it was relatively easy for the East Germans to go to Poland.

Unless the "nameless old man" is a West German, by the way, he is still a 250, or he is just a fictional character who made up a deception.

And the story continues: in 2015, a Pole and a German claimed to have found the missing Nazi train carrying 300 tons of treasure from World War II near the Polish city of Wroclaw.

The two were "not greedy": whoever wanted to know the exact location of the train had to pay them 10% of the total value of all the treasures on the "Golden Train".

It is said that the Polish Ministry of Culture also held a press conference in Warsaw that year, affirming the existence of the "Golden Train". A deputy minister of culture in Poland also said at a news conference that he had seen with his own eyes a photograph of a train detected by ground-penetrating radar, and although the photo was not very clear, the outline was still recognizable.

Mr. Deputy Minister also told the media: I am more than 99% sure that this train does exist. As for whether there are valuables such as gold and silver, jewelry, famous paintings, etc., it is still "difficult to say" at this time, and it is likely that the train is loaded with military supplies, but the possibility of treasures cannot be ruled out.

At this point, the myth has been added to the government, and then the media has increased attention and hype... The Polish military intervened in the investigation, and then there was all sorts of information that the excavation had begun in the section where the tunnel was located...

Pull!

A bunch of!

If you find the Golden Train, you need 10%, or you won't be told!

Those two are either stupid birds or 250 - for the sake of gold, will the violent agencies still negotiate with you?

What ground penetrating radar, Deputy Minister of Poland, began to dig.....

For these, Zhang Nan in his previous life laughed at it, and he should watch fake news: If the poor ghosts in Poland in the 21st century knew that there was such a golden train in their own territory, they would have kicked their brains by a donkey before they held a bullshit press conference.

Typical Western media hype methods, everything has to be associated with press conferences, and it seems that without a press conference, it is not a thing, something is missing.

As long as there is gold, Poland's powerful organs don't care if you're real or not, dig it up!

You must know that even in the 21st century, Poland's gold reserves are only 100 tons and zero, which is pitiful.

The Western stupid bird reporters who write those news are 100% professional unbounded and engineering idiots, and they don't know how fast the modern engineering team excavates earthwork and rocks!

It has been at least a year since the news broke to Zhang Nan's rebirth, and for the sake of gold, let alone digging out the tunnel mouth, the Poles have enough time to dig another tunnel!

It's all!

As long as there are definite hidden tunnels and trains in them, even if there is no gold in them, a World War II train (and it is said to have armored cars with turrets) can recover the cost of the project, let alone for the Poles, such a government excavation does not have to worry about the cost at all.

, the golden train in Poland is a stupid farce in Zhang Nan's opinion, but he really didn't expect to find it before, and there are two trains when he finds it.

Most of the guys are wearing intercoms, and when they hear Guan Xingquan's words, people who are familiar with the boss know that there is gold underneath, and some people think it is diamonds, in short, it is a treasure!

Some people think about how much gold there is, but others think a little differently. The youngest, Jacob, asked his brother, "Where is the locomotive?"

I don't want to think about the locomotive - two trains in chunks, what about the locomotive?

When Mark heard this, he couldn't wait to give his younger brother a look at his brain: "Stupid, drive away, what are they doing burying a locomotive!"

It's treasure, gold, it's not about the train itself!

Hearing his brother say this, Jacob was upset and said, "I said Mark, even if the two ends of the tunnel can be passed, how can the front of the second train get out?"

Zhang Nan and Xiang Weirong passed by from the side, and they just heard it: I really want to give Jacob this big guy a look!

What about the big man who said that he had great wisdom?

Zhang Nan said to the two brothers: "The train is not pushed, the cowhide is blown." Jacob, do you know this old Chinese saying?

This train can really be pushed, the shunting yard is often used to push the carriage to go, and there is a locomotive pulling and adding a locomotive to push in the rear of the railway section with a large slope.

There is no locomotive below, so you can just push it in, and you can run as soon as you pick up the hook when the time comes. ”

Jacob had apparently never been to the train shunting yard, nor had he seen a train pushing away, and he suffered a young loss. Listening to the boss's words, he smiled - his brain turned around and he figured it out.

In addition to the guys on duty on the periphery, a group of people waited in the middle of the two houses, and after a long time, the news of Guan Boss came again: after the preliminary inspection, no bombs were found, and they not only checked the door, but also the bottom of the car.

After listening to Guan Xingquan's report, Xiang Weirong looked at the time and said into the intercom: "Xingquan, you come up first and bring some samples." ”

"Understand the squad leader, we'll be up in 10 minutes. ”

It took long enough, Zhang Nan would feel hungry this time, the guys had breakfast earlier than themselves today, and they should have been hungry a long time ago.

The world is the biggest eater, and the two trains below will not run, and the personnel will come up to talk about it.

The treasure is down there, but you can't rush it, it's useless to rush - both ends of the tunnel have been completely blown up, and Paul and the others have checked the situation in the nearby area, even the Czechoslovak side has penetrated a few kilometers.

I had seen the terrain of the massive collapse after the explosion decades ago, but at the time I didn't think it was a tunnel treasure cave: in contrast to Berchtesgaden, the explosion here was not a cover at all, it looked like a large-scale stone mine.

The person who hid the treasure would be stupid to blow it up like that, because it would be a very big project to dig it up after that explosion, and the location marked in the notebook was obvious, Paul didn't expect that it would be a railway tunnel and a ventilation shaft.

Even if the collapsed tunnel can be opened with large-scale mechanized operation, neither side is suitable for that operation, otherwise it will be a big trouble to contract land and find excuses.

This first called people up and discussed how to clean it up.

Since it is simply not practical to enter through the tunnel openings on both sides, there is only one way left!

Looking at the vent, Zhang Nan suddenly felt a little sad..."It's easy for me to find some gold, do I have to carry it slowly and bitterly?"

That's going to exhaust the cows!"

......

Not long after, Guan Xingquan came up, each of them still carrying a box, and the weight was not small.

As soon as Guan Boss came up, he said to Zhang Nan: "The 26 carriages are all 30-ton boxcars, and we only opened the last carriage, which is full of boxes from the bank, and it is full of gold coins and gold bars. ”

As he spoke, he asked Lin Ming to help put down the box tied to his back with ropes.

"About twenty kilograms a box. ”

Carrying a box weighing at least 40 pounds and climbing up more than 100 meters, even Boss Guan felt a little tired. Didn't open it immediately, the guys carried four boxes to the restaurant in the main building first, which was spacious.

Samples, four people still chose about it.

The first box is full of small gold bricks weighing a kilogram of "Deutsche Reich Bank" with a long eagle emblem, indicating a purity of 999.9, a very German logo. There are numbers on them, and the number on the first piece Zhang Nan picked up is DR108228.

A box of 20 pieces, wooden crates also had German signs on them, which Kwan said were reserve gold shipped from the Imperial Bank branch in Breslau, with the logo of a local bank vault on them.

Zhang Nan smiled: In the future, let those two fools find it slowly, at least part of the gold shipped out by Breslau is already in his hands.

The second box is still gold bricks, but the kind of 10 kilograms each.

After listening to Boss Guan talk about the German content on the box and the gold brick, Zhang Nan said: "Interesting!"

It's interesting, because the box is the same as the previous one belongs to the National Bank of Poland, but the two 10-kilogram gold bricks inside are not marked by any Polish bank, not even a country - one is from Luxembourg with French engraved on it, and the other is engraved with words that even Guan Boss can't read clearly, and finally Lin Man recognizes it.

"It's Polish. ”

Zhang Nan glanced at Lin Man, who was joining in the fun, and the latter hurriedly said: "Don't worry boss, I don't have any Polish ancestry, just I have a high school teacher who is Polish, and I have nothing to do for half a month." ”

It's best not to do this treasure hunt with any national sentiments, for example, Zhang Nan's core team will never have a Jewish guy come in and cause chaos - contractors from Israel are absolutely excluded from anything related to the search for Nazi treasures, otherwise if a guy comes with a hot brain and is tall, it will bring a lot of big trouble to his own people!

Okay, then Zhang Nan won't ask Lin Man what the Polish text on the gold brick means, he is not a language genius like Guan Boss, and he probably won't be able to learn much in half a month.

Xiang Weirong believes that this box of gold bricks is not the result of the Germans messing up the gold bricks in an emergency situation in the late war, and Zhang Nan has his own views on this.

"Not necessarily, the two gold bricks, although they belong to different countries, are likely to have been placed in the same Polish treasury before the war. After the German occupation of Poland, it received 57 tons of gold reserves from the banks of German-occupied Poland, and also swallowed 10 tons of gold that were stored in Polish banks in Latvia, Luxembourg, Norway, Lithuania and Czechoslovakia.

When it was first dispensed, it may be mixed directly because the weight and purity are the same. ”

There is no need to re-smelt, otherwise no matter how good the technology is, it will still be consumed, and it will not be touched for hundreds of years with more gold bricks.

For example, the underground vault of the Federal Reserve Bank in New York, which contains a small 10,000 tons of gold from more than 60 countries, and it is said that even China later stored 600 tons of gold reserves.

The U.S. own national reserve of gold is not in New York at all, but in an underground vault at Fort Knox, about 50 kilometers southwest of Louisville, Kentucky's largest city.

A large reason why small countries keep their national reserves of gold in the coffers of big countries is for security, and big countries do this to a large extent for the convenience of international games and financial operations.

Therefore, many news stories talk about how tense the current relationship between two countries is, and the discerning person must first see if the assets and gold reserves between the two sides have been withdrawn - if not, then the news is a dog-fart!
