Chapter 199: The Abandoned World War II Military Highway
In the study room on the second floor of the villa, several people gathered around the large desk, discussing countermeasures with several maps and manuals spread out. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
"The situation is very bad, according to the analysis of the notebook and the military map of World War II, the hiding place is very likely to be close to a ski resort today, which Wenbo and I observed from a distance. β
Not only on the desk, but also on the couch next to it were two maps: copies of World War II German military maps from several archives in the United States to compare them with the actual terrain of today.
Guan Xingquan said to everyone in front of an original military map: "I compared the map of World War II and found that there was originally a military road that could cross the mountain pass from the southeast to Goring on the Salzach am Audrey, without the need to take a long detour from Salzburg from the northeast.
However, the road only goes to the ski slopes on the east side of Lake Koenig on the map today, beyond which there are walking trails, and only to the end of the first lift, after which the road to the south disappears. β
Saying that, Guan Xingquan made a gesture on the map.
"Have you ever gone up to observe?" asked Xiang Weirong.
"We drove about six kilometers south from the city, where the entrance to the ski slopes was at the end of Lake Koenig, and the off-road vehicles could only get there for the time being, and all the roads further southeast were completely covered with snow..."
"Wenbo and I simply took the ski resort's cable car to observe a round trip from the air, and the disappearing road was 1.5 kilometers to 400 kilometers away from the distance of the four-section cable car, separated by mountain peaks, and in the area where the original road could be seen in two small mountain passes.
The tricky part is that you can see about a third of the area at the apex transfer station of the second section of the gondola, and the good news is that it is an L-shaped terrain with dense forests on both sides.
If the hiding spot is in the woods, there should be minimal visitors. β
This is a well-known tourist area and ski area in Germany and even in the world, and there are too many people!
According to the cryptic description in Adolf Eichmann's notebook, the hiding place is believed to be near an original military highway. According to the German military map of World War II, there are only two military roads near Berchtesgaden: one is due east from the town to the German-Austrian border, and then along the border line all the way north to Salzburg in Audley.
As for the other three roads, which were standard civilian roads, the Germans would not be mistaken, and the vicinity of those three roads was obviously not suitable for hiding large quantities of precious goods.
The military road to Salzburg is still in existence, and there is also a ski slope in the middle - which leads to traffic from the small town to the ski resort.
Zhang Nan observed along the road and felt that it was unlikely that Hitler's treasure was in this area, because according to the military map of World War II, the traffic on this road at that time was relatively large, and it was not easy to keep it secret.
Of course, if it's near this road, it's super troublesome, and you can only hope that the treasure spot is as far away from the main highway as possible.
But along the road, there are few recessed sections where feeder roads and even side roads can be built, and there are no traces of human construction activity at all, at least for 50 years.
The key road section will be placed in the area where Guan Xingquan and the others observed.
"Squad leader, once you cross the end of Lake Koenigs, the distance in a straight line is only eight kilometers from 800 meters above sea level to the 1,700-meter German-Austrian pass. Even if the original road was built as a ring road, the slope would still be very large, and it is reasonable to abandon it.
But there's a big problem: if something is over there, even if we find it, we have to transport it out completely by hand, and it's within the national park, and all development is prohibited. β
If it is an ordinary area, then Guan Xingquan understands Zhang Nan's consistent approach: find a way to develop and repair houses, and with the huge financial support, there is always an opportunity to surround it and work boldly.
National park?
There are no doors!
Founded in 1978, Berchtesgaden National Park is one of Germany's most beautiful landscapes, located in the southeastern corner of Germany, in the southeastern corner of Berchtesgaden.
The ski resort where Guan Xingquan and the others went was close to the northeast edge of the national park, and according to the tourist brochure, the third section of the ropeway was two or three hundred meters above the edge of the national park.
"Can people pass?"
It was Xiang Weirong who asked the question.
"Yes, today I saw a very small number of skiers who did not go into the ski resort to take the ropeway, but carried their equipment around the eastern shore of Lake KΓΆnig, probably trying to ski in the wilderness in the forest park. β
"Then we'll go there tomorrow and check it out. β
Speaking of this, Xiang Weirong said to Nicole: "Nicole, tomorrow you take Jackson and the others to Salzburg, spend a day, come back at 5 o'clock in the afternoon at the earliest, and leave us a car." β
Because it was the first time I came here, I had to bring those "people who were not my own", which had to be cooperated by Nicole.
"No problem. β
Nicole also wanted to participate in the expedition, but it was a compromise that had to be made for the sake of the overall plan.
Early the next morning, Zhang Nan and the five of them set off, and Jackson and the others will accompany Miss Nicole to Austria after receiving instructions from the boss.
As for what the boss is going to do with four "personal bodyguards": as a good bodyguard, it's best not to even think about doubts.
Jackson and Paul are of course the best bodyguards, and Lin Ming knows about it, and the three hired drivers have nothing to do with them: they just collect money to do things.
......
There is almost no snow in the castle, but when you get to the parking lot of the ski resort, there is a lot of snow. Lake Koenig is not far from the mountains, the Alps are on the east, the coniferous forests are dense on the national park, and the ski resorts to the north are not in sight.
It's one of the best ski resorts in the world, and it's only been a little over an hour after dawn, and there are already people in the parking lot, not just speaking German, but English speakers in two groups.
Zhang Nan, Xiang Weirong, Guan Xingquan, Jin Wenbo and Chen Hao, who got off the car, had professional ski equipment from head to toe, carried the skis behind their backs, and set off as a team.
I didn't bring any spears, this time I just came to "ski", so Guan Xingquan and Chen Hao each hid a Walter PPS in their clothes to maintain the minimum safety standards that super-rich people should have.
Even if there is a check in the forest park, there will be no problem with the pistol hidden: this is a tourist area, and it is not surprising that backcountry skiers come here.
Each person also carried a small ski bag with the necessary outdoor equipment: it will be half a day before I get back to the parking lot. (To be continued.) )
