Chapter 461: Move Back

"This is the Amber Palace!"

Zhang Nan's words exploded like a bombshell in the mine, and Alyosha was directly confused: he was a Russian Chinese born in China, but his grandfather's generation only emigrated to China after the October Revolution in Russia. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Alyosha's old family is a Russian nobleman, and when he was young, he went to Catherine's Palace, which is 23 kilometers from St. Petersburg: even his old father was born in Russia, and if the big guy didn't know what the "Amber Palace" was, he really should have taken a piece of tofu and killed him!

Russia's first national treasure - this is not bragging!

The big guy immediately leaned on the box to take a closer look at it again, while the others had all kinds of expressions.

Xiang Weirong's mind turned around and he thought of what was in the box after all: the super baby of the Soviets, when he was a soldier, he didn't know what it was in the "Amber Palace", but he had also seen about it in some magazines in the past two years, and he could understand why his brother-in-law was so annoyed.

Guan Xingquan's brows also furrowed: Not for anything else, if the Soviets know that this thing is in Zhang Nan's place, then wait for KGB's endless harassment!

This harassment doesn't just make your life unstable, it's going to be fatal!

Will it be safe to return the "Amber Palace" to the Russians?

You're kidding!

Everyone knows that this thing disappeared for decades after being snatched by the Nazis, and КГБ will definitely have to find out why, if the news leaks, the owner will run to the ends of the earth to put it bluntly, and it is estimated that it will be dug up by the КГБ gang of crazy people!

The people who owned the Amber Palace were either the remnants of the Nazis or the ones who discovered the Nazi treasures in Königsberg, and they could not simply get away with returning the treasures of the Russians to them.

Boss Guan has dealt with the KGB, although he is not worried about this extremely difficult opponent, but behind him is the country, and this will almost be alone: once he is targeted by the KGB, unless he runs back to his hometown to be a turtle with a shrunken head, otherwise as long as he is anywhere outside of China, he will be whitewashed and wait for death!

Got a gun awesome?

For the sake of the "Amber Palace", people who come to find trouble will come one after another, going forward one after another, Boss Guan and the bodyguards may be able to prevent it once or twice, but can they protect Zhang Nan for a lifetime?

Even if there is the strongest bodyguard, the other party will dare to use even biological and chemical weapons in a small area!

Even if Guan Xingquan and these guys become superhumans, they probably won't be able to block a few rounds!

On the one hand, we have to guard against the CIA and the FBI, plus a KGB that can make the first two anxious, plus the Mossad, which has a ridiculously high sensitivity to the Nazi treasure of World War II, and even the British MI6 is estimated to come and stick a rod in the United Kingdom - the spy agencies are all staring at each other, so that Zhang Nan will become the most troublesome person in the world.

You don't need one, it's the world's first!

As a greedy collector, it is impossible to keep the "Amber Palace" lying in the cave unless you kill yourself!

Even if it's going to be a bomb that can blow itself to pieces at any moment, it has to be taken away!

Greed, the original sin of mankind - ignoring this thing, Zhang Nan thinks he can't do it.

Collection?

That won't work, unless you put it in the basement forever and never see anyone, and this ancestor will never be able to take it out to meet people.

Headache.

After a while, Zhang Nan raised his head and saw that everyone was looking at him, feeling that this decision could not be made by himself.

"This thing is a bomb, and if outsiders find out, none of us will end well. Shall we vote on it, keep it here, or take it away?"

I am greedy, but this will not care about everyone's life or death, if you forcibly take it away, it is easy to have problems because people's hearts are not aligned.

As soon as Zhang Nan's words came out, no one spoke at first, and after waiting for a while, Davis spoke: "Boss, if you bring it back, will you put it together and collect it?"

Zhang Nan shook his head, "No, that's looking for death." It should be hidden first, and then wait for twenty or thirty years. But I'm not going to collect this thing anyway, it can only belong to Russia, and it would be a disaster for anyone else to have it. ”

Davis nodded, and his words answered the inner questions of the American bodyguards and cooks.

None of the Huaxia bodyguards spoke, so Zhang Nan had to ask Xiang Weirong: "Brother-in-law, can you say a few words?"

Xiang Weirong's expression was serious just now, but this would seem to be more relaxed.

"Anan, you're at a dead end. We've done enough to drop your head 10 times in the past, so you're missing this one?"

This time, "yes!"

What you did in the first half of the year is enough for the whole world to "hunt down", are you afraid of this?

If you have too much debt, you don't have to worry about lice -- not to mention the Amber Palace, as long as any item on the "World War II Nazi Plunder Art List" is exposed, it will be endless trouble.

It's a big deal that some can find an excuse to buy it from somewhere else, and there is no place to buy this Amber Palace.

And there are countries and ministries that don't need explanations at all, they don't need to be reasonable at all, because they are the ones who set the norms themselves!

Since I don't plan to let it show up for the time being, of course I have to move out!

Davis then spoke, "Boss, I agree to move out." ”

Zack, Randy and others also agreed to take it back, and Daniel said directly: "Boss, the hush money of 500,000 is enough." If the KGB comes to me one day, whoever can do it will give me a shot, I'm afraid of pain. ”

Chef Clever: In the face of real danger, he will definitely be the first person here to be abandoned, or even shut up, it is better to just make a statement now - I will make a statement, give money to seal up, and sell to the boss for you.

Frankly explained, lest he not know how to die in a daze-Daniel had no intention of getting off the boss's ship when he came to Berchtesgaden to hunt for treasure.

I can't get off if I want to, and the only outcome of this will be to be evaporated by the world.

The American bodyguards all have one opinion, Zhang Nan looked at Guan Xingquan, and Guan Boss said coolly: "Isn't it just a few boards, move back, it's a big deal to go home." ”

knew that Zhang Nan wanted to move away in his heart, otherwise he wouldn't have asked at all.

Alyosha they are the same opinion, move away!

Xiang Weirong said: "If you want to find a way to move home, I don't feel at ease if you put this thing anywhere else." ”

The United States is not at ease, and Switzerland is the same, so then it will be time to find a way to transport it back to China and store it underground in his hometown.

"Amber should be flammable, let Wang Debiao's kid dig a basement first, it can ventilate the kind. Xingquan, you can design a self-destruct device that can destroy corpses at any time. ”

Guan Xingquan nodded, "No problem, you can solve the problem with a few tens of liters of gasoline." ”

Burning ignition mechanism, once the lock is violently unlocked or the password is wrong many times... If you make a few settings, even if something goes wrong, others will end up seeing a pile of ashes.

"As long as we don't leak the news, nothing will happen. ”

Hearing his brother-in-law's decision, Zhang Nan said, "Do you want to ask Wen Dong again?"

That's when Zach spoke: "No, boss, at least Thomas and Paul will agree." ”

In the morning the boat went.

Xiang Weirong has the same point of view as Zack: there is no need to ask at all, those three are "old men", unless they are impatient, Paul will not object.

As for Liu Wendong and Li Panfeng - will they be worried about the KGB?

Maybe you can't protect the boss, but the Huaxia soldiers really haven't panicked Lao Maozi!

If everyone agrees, it will be easy to do, Zhang Nan stood up from the wooden box and said to Daniel: "I will give you 1 million this time, no one will want your life." ”

Daniel smiled, and the others were happy: although there were not many things in this warehouse, this trip was at least a million income per person, and it was worth the sale!

"Pry them all open to see how many boxes there are and whether they are all in order. ”

Hearing Zhang Nan's words, everyone began to take action, priing open those big boxes first.

Sure enough, it was full of components of the Amber Palace, some of them panels, some of which were columns and bases, all of which were exquisite—not only amber, but also a large number of gold and diamond inlays.

Zhang Nan probably checked around, and when he saw that the pillars wrapped in gold leaf had been moved out, he said: "The Amber Palace panel does not contain any precious metals, but these frames and pillars are still made of gold, and the historical record is wrong." ”

Soviet experts say that there is not a single gram of gold anywhere in the Amber Palace, and the metal auxiliaries are not of precious metal texture, which is clearly incorrect, they forget about the appearance of resplendent gold.

Two hours later, Davis said, "Boss, there are 12 column bases in total, 48 panels of all sizes, and the weight should be more than six tons." ”

No one knows what the Amber Palace will look like when it is assembled: there are few old photographs, and the Soviets are said to be rebuilding the Amber Palace, but it seems that more than ten years have passed, and it seems that it has not been completed.

"More than 6 tons, it should be a full set of Amber Palace, even if there is a loss, it is not far off. ”

That's good news, babies are afraid of being crippled.

The German Nazis snatched the "Amber Palace" from Catherine's Palace in Leningrad in World War II, but it was not made by the Russians, but was originally a Prussian treasure.

The German treasure became the Russian baby, and it was snatched to Germany by the Germans during World War II, and then disappeared for decades.

At the beginning of the 18th century, Friedrich, the elector of the Kingdom of Prussia, was crowned the first king of Prussia in 1701, and this candidate Friedrich also wanted to emulate the luxurious life of King Louis XIV of France: in order to celebrate his succession to the title of king, the construction of the "Amber Palace" began in the royal palace in Berlin in 1701.

The main source of the top amber was in Königsberg, which belonged to East Prussia, and Kaliningrad in the present-day Soviet Union.

From 1701 to 1711, it took craftsmen from all over the world more than ten years to complete the magnificent and vast project of "Amber Palace".

The Prussians called amber "the gold of the north" at that time, and since the 18th century, the East Prussians have been engaged in the world's largest amber mining industry, and there are enough precious raw materials, but because it is very difficult to process natural amber into ornaments, the level of craftsmanship is extremely high, which is also the reason why the "Amber Palace" has been built for more than ten years.

It is said that the "Amber Palace" is about 55 square meters in size, with a total of 12 parapet panels and 12 bases, all made of amber, which was 12 times more expensive than gold at the time, and is also decorated with countless diamonds, precious stones, gold and silver leaf - the total number of these amber, gold and precious stones is more than 100,000 pieces, and the total weight is more than 6 tons!

According to the habit of many people to brag and like to be tall and virtuous, the "Amber Palace" after the completion of this is known as the "Eighth Wonder of the World".

......

After the inventory was almost done, Karimi asked Zach, who was working together, "This was originally a German thing?"

Karimi and Shamili had only heard of the Amber Palace, and its origin was not clear: they had not read about the Amber Palace like Xiang Weirong, who had heard about it in a small talk of a famous treasure that had disappeared during World War II.

Zach knew that he had just told a few guys who weren't particularly aware of the situation.

The black buddy said: "It was made by Germany, but it was not Germany, Germany was probably a geographical concept in the 18th century, and I don't know much about this."

But I remember that only two years after the Amber Palace was built, the Prussian king was hung, and his son Wilhelm I succeeded to the throne.

However, it is said that this William I did not like the Amber Palace, but liked beautiful women.

And it would be an old war on the European continent, with an alliance between Prussia and Russia.

When Russian Tsar Peter visited Berlin in 1716, the Tsar presented Wilhelm I with a generous gift, including 55 Russian guards, a rowing boat, a carpentry lathe, and a wooden wine cup made by the Tsar himself.

It is said that at that time, William I prepared only one gift, which was a royal luxury yacht as a return gift.

Wilhelm I felt that the return gift was too little, and when he heard that Peter the Great was full of praise after visiting the Amber Palace, he gave the Amber Palace as a gift to the Tsar, and the Amber Palace became the treasure of the Russian Tsar.

In 1717 the Amber Palace was sent to Catherine Palace in St. Petersburg, and after the October Revolution in Russia, the Amber Palace became one of the most famous tourist attractions in the Soviet Union. ”

Hearing this, Karimi, who was about to drink saliva, put down the kettle and asked: "I remember that Leningrad should not have been captured, right?"

Zhang Nan was also listening, and said to the pair of Karimi: "The palace is on the outskirts of Leningrad, more than 20 kilometers from the city center, and it was occupied by the Germans from September 1941 to January 44.

It is said that before the German occupation, Catherine Palace was instructed to dismantle the Amber Palace and evacuate it to the city of Leningrad. ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Nan knocked on a guard plate of more than 100 kilograms on the side and said: "Originally, there were 12 pieces, and this will be divided into 48 large and small pieces, each of which still has hundreds of kilograms."

At that time, only a small number of elderly male staff and female comrades remained in Catherine's Palace, and the German army was advancing too fast to have time or strength to tear down the Amber Palace and evacuate it.

The Amber Palace could only be covered with tulle and fake wallpaper, hoping not to be discovered by the Germans.

However, the Germans were not stupid, and that method was useless, and the Amber Palace was found and dismantled, divided into 27 boxes and transported to Königsberg in East Prussia.

After the end of World War II, the Soviet Union sent a secret search team of experts, architects, archaeologists and high-ranking military officers to search the Amber Palace in Königsberg's local estates, castles, noble mansions, basements and all the places where the Amber Palace might be hidden.

Later, the East German government also organized a special search operation, and no one expected that it would be in Berchtesgaden, and the Americans had the opportunity to dig them up. ”

Zhang Nan meant that the first mine hole that was dug up, probably because the Americans found that it was full of weapons and ammunition, but they didn't bother to dig the other two mines, and now they are cheaper.

Twenty-seven large chests with Russian markings on them, apparently brought from the Soviet Union, and the Germans did not assemble the Amber Palace during the war.

There are more than 30 chests here, and I don't know what they are inside - unlike the boxes where the Amber Palace is stored, the plates are much thinner, and there are a dozen or so tin boxes, many of which have rusted on the outside.
