There are all burlap bags here, each of them is not big, and after opening the pocket to see what is inside, Guan Xingquan frowned!

The light shone in and it was a golden color - yes, it was Zhang Nan's favorite gold, but the problem was: it was a small sack of gold ring!

Everyone was silent there for a while, Guan Xingquan took out a few at random, looked at the inside of the ring, and said a few words in German that Zhang Nan didn't understand. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Nicole was beside Zhang Nan at this time, and said in a low voice: "These should be wedding rings, Jews', with names and vows engraved on them." ”

Fortunately, there is not a single Jew here, "Brother Guan, put it away." ”

There wasn't much excitement: this ring was the life of a family, or even a family! The ring might come from Buchenval, Auschwitz... Or perhaps it came from the numerous ghettos throughout Europe at the time.

It's not just blood on the headband, it's life!

Zhang Nan is a native master, and everyone else will also be treasure hunters, and any social rules will be temporarily put aside, but he still can't be happy in the face of such a pocket.

"Look at each of them, and they all have something in their pockets. ”

At a glance, there were three or four hundred small burlap bags, and Zhang Nan squatted down to untie the burlap bag in front of him as he spoke.

I'm still struggling with the rope, so as not to cut it and it will be difficult to deal with, but Jenny on the side has already untied one of them.

"Alan, it's all gold pounds!"

It was a joy to watch Jenny pull out a handful of small pound gold pounds, shining in the light!

However, Zhang Nan didn't put down the work at hand and opened it.

Gold coins, or gold coins!

But not gold pounds, but a full twenty kilograms of gold francs with a face value of 50 francs in each era!

A group of people in the vicinity kept reporting: gold coins, gold ingots, gold coins!

An hour later, the approximate numbers came out: 102 bags of gold marks, gold francs and gold pounds, and 80 bags of double eagle coins in the face value of $20!

In the Long Island Manor, Zhang Nan found a few jars of US dollar gold coins, which can be regarded as the largest underground gold coin cellar in the United States, and here, at least 1,600 kilograms!

There are also 130 bags of gold and silver coins of various kinds and countries, mainly gold coins, even Yuan Datou and Long Yang of Huaxia were found two bags, and most of the "miscellaneous gold coins" Zhang Nan could not recognize.

Of those boxes, there were 25 boxes of 10 kilograms of standard Nazi gold bricks, and each of the other 82 boxes contained 20 one-kilogram gold ingots with swastika marks!

5 pockets of wedding rings and a pocket of creepy gold teeth - plucked from the mouths of the Jews of the death camps!

There are also hundreds of pockets that are lighter, because they contain not gold, but paper money: all 1928 and 1934 small dollar bills and sterling notes that have ceased to be in circulation.

The pound sterling is all in 5 pound and 10 pound denominations, and many serial numbers are concatenated.

Alyosha, who went to explore the way ahead, came back at this time and said to Zhang Nan: "There are hundreds of pockets and a lot of boxes in the corner, I opened one and looked at it, it was a gold product, it looked like an antique vessel, a gold plate and a gold bowl." ”

"I'll see it later. ”

Saying that, Zhang Nan took out a whole knife of 10 pound bills, which were all serial numbers.

How could Nazi Germany have a large number of sterling sterling?

"These are worth more than the real pound, and these are Bernhard banknotes! It is said that by 1945 one-third of the pounds in circulation in Britain were printed by the Nazi 'Bank of England'. ”

"Counterfeit bills?"

Xiang Weirong asked: Few Chinese people today have heard of this matter.

"It's a counterfeit banknote, but it's a real counterfeit banknote, and the British forced the British to recycle and destroy almost all the banknotes issued before the war, especially the five-pound denomination, which was the fastest to recover.

The pounds were probably printed at the Sachsenhausen concentration camp near Berlin, which was also the headquarters of all Nazi concentration camps in the German occupation zone during World War II.

The counterfeit coins produced are classified into 4 grades: perfect, near-perfect, flawed, and substandard.

The Germans, intending to disrupt the British economy, initially planned to airdrop substandard products to Britain, but eventually destroyed all of them.

Perfect counterfeit banknotes were stored for use by German spies in enemy and neutral countries;

Near-perfect and flawed counterfeit money was shipped in bulk to the occupied territories, gold and food were bought on the black market, and even light weapons airdropped by the British and Americans were purchased from local partisans;

Some of the counterfeit money was also distributed to the German embassy in a neutral country and exchanged for local currency.

The pounds were of such good quality that German agents had travelled to Switzerland with a shipment of 5 and 10 pound notes to exchange them for Swiss francs, and had the audacity to ask for the authenticity of the pounds, explaining that they had been bought on the black market.

After being alerted, the bank picked out about 10% of the 'counterfeit banknotes' and took the remaining fake pounds in full.

Not only the Swiss, but even the employees of the real Bank of England could not tell the difference. However, many of these banknotes here are brand new, presumably unaged, and may have been transported directly from the retreat from Sachsenhausen or from a special reserve. ”

"Concentration camps, those who make counterfeit money are prisoners?"

"Well, except for those in charge, the actual operators should all be. The prisoners were all Jews from several other concentration camps, and often had experience forging banknotes or documents before being arrested. ”

"And are these counterfeit bills still useful?"

Xiang Weirong is not sure whether the pounds are still useful: they can be confused with the real ones, but the real banknotes are basically invalid, indicating that they may no longer be in circulation. However, he also knows that many of the forfeited and recycled banknotes are more valuable because they have become collectibles.

Zhang Nan smiled and said: "It's useful, it's worth more than the real 1932 pound, and some Western collectors want to dig out their minds to get a Bernhard banknote." But we have so much that if we take it out, the whole world will suspect that we have obtained Nazi treasure.

Just like those gold bricks, it is not a big problem to take out a few pieces, just make up the way you want, anyway, when Germany was defeated, American GIs and officers privately hacked a lot of Nazi gold.

But if you take out a ton, then hehe. ”

As he spoke, he put the banknotes back into the burlap bag, and everyone on the side was not idle, and all the boxes and pockets were roughly classified into the next category, so that they were easy to operate when they were transferred, so as not to open the box once they were moved.

Extending the wires inward, even Li Panfeng went to guard outside the tunnel, and brought a rifle, and even the silencer was installed in advance.

The wealth here is already maddening, and if there are any outsiders nearby, the bodyguards will probably not hesitate to kill them - no matter who comes!

Guan Xingquan organized other bodyguards to start transporting, striving to transport out several batches as soon as possible. And Zhang Nan, Xiang Weirong, Nicole and Jenny took a flashlight and continued to probe inside.
