Chapter 163: Searching for Nazi Treasure?
After dinner, the three of them went out for a spin on their bicycles, and the English countryside felt really good, and they also met a few new friends in the countryside, all of whom were from the village. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
The neighbors in the neighborhood already knew that a wealthy man from far away China had bought the farmhouse, and they were a little curious about this neighbor who didn't show up often.
The three of them were also invited to a neighbor's house for afternoon tea, and Zhang Nan agreed out of politeness, and it was not rude to go with a small gift.
At night, after dinner, the three of them didn't go out, but spent time in the house.
Zhang Nan watched TV and made phone calls, Xiang Weirong watched English textbooks and listened to the matching tape Walkman, and seized the time to study.
Although real conversation is the best way to learn speaking, if you don't have any foundation at all, you can really only catch blind.
That walkman is still an RB product, which is quite expensive, but in Zhang Nan's opinion, it is really bad enough, but the technology in the 80s is like this.
After nine o'clock in the evening, Guan Xingquan ran outside the courtyard to watch the wind, while Zhang Nan picked up the detector and started searching.
In less than half an hour, a rather strong reaction from the detector was heard not far from the open-air trellis.
took off the headphones and shouted outside: "Brother Guan, I'm back!"
But when he turned his head, he was taken aback: Guan Xingquan didn't know when he had run back, and he would be standing with his brother-in-law on the fence wall more than twenty meters behind.
The two walked over, "Found it?"
"It should be down there, about one meter and a half from the ground, and the reaction is very strong!"
Didn't say it, take the big guy!
I don't care when Guan Xingquan comes back, it's absolutely safe to have him.
However, there will be no need for people to look outside, and the GPR will be very different from the younger generations that appeared more than 20 years later: instead of being put on the ground and pushing, then a general image of the underground will appear on the display.
Today's equipment is more complicated to operate, but it is more suitable for Zhang Nan.
Eight wires were pulled out, and a metal rod was attached to each wire, and Guan Xingquan followed the center point indicated by Zhang Nan as the benchmark, forming a large circle of about four meters, and inserting all eight metal rods into the soil.
The wires are quite long, connected to the ground penetrating radar in the living room, which can be detected in the house.
Turn on the machine, and soon one of the CRT displays a very large, almost circular figure!
On the other side, on a very small display, a crest-shaped pattern flickers, which is a possible component to indicate the presence of an object underneath.
Guan Xingquan took the GPR detection object comparison table and studied it, while Xiang Weirong took a large notebook and a pencil and quickly drew the approximate graphics and dimensions of the underground objects on the monitor.
This machine should not be turned on for too long at one time, otherwise it will overheat.
A few minutes later, Zhang Nan turned off the machine with a "snap", "Draw it down." ā
It was Xiang Weirong who spoke, although he hadn't done this drawing homework for many years, but it was still a small point to draw this.
And Guan Xingquan has also recorded the readings on the small display screen and checked them. "At least 500 kilograms of silver, and no less than 300 kilograms of gold!"
This is definitely a great fortune, and although it is not clear from the general pattern displayed on the display that the precious metal is, it cannot be a simple silver nugget and gold lump, and it is very likely that it is precious metal coins and artefacts.
"The stack is so thick that there are almost no white spots. ā
Xiang Weirong also studied the manual and comparison table, and can also say one, two, three, four: the display is a flat display, and the thickness cannot be measured, but if the things below are thin or there are gaps piled up, there will be blank spots on the graph.
Apparently a thick layer is buried!
Guan Xingquan went to retrieve the eight metal rods connected to the wires outside, wiped them clean and cleaned them up.
"Don't move this time?"
Hearing his brother-in-law's words, Zhang Nan said: "Don't move until you come up with a way to safely transport it out of the UK." ā
Even if there were private jets, it would be impossible to transport such a large number of precious metal products out of the UK!
"Then let these treasures be buried for a while, the underground is safer than this house. ā
Xiang Weirong made a decision, and the three of them went back to their rooms to sleep.
The matter was settled, and the next day I stayed here for another day, and I got acquainted with the neighbors.
The engineering team was called, the plan for the construction of the stone wall was finalized, the project was paid in advance, and on the third day he left the village for Lundun.
In four days, the three of them swept the two largest antique and thrift markets in Lundun, spending a total of millions of dollars, which is really enough to fill a container!
Citibank was entrusted with the sea freight, and it took another three days to leave for Paris.
Paris has the largest flea market in Europe, and it took three days to visit this market alone, and it's almost a container!
In the same way, the goods are sent to Yongcheng Port, Huaxia.
However, although there are a lot of things, the real top-notch goods have not been encountered, even if they prepare a pension for their brother-in-law and Brother Guan in advance that they can't spend in eight lifetimes.
ā¦ā¦
On August 28, 1987, Zhang Nan and the three left Paris for Munich, Federal Republic of Germany.
West Germany, there will be two Germanys, and the world is still in the Cold War!
This made Zhang Nan suddenly feel as if he had plunged headlong into the Western film world - the Cold War, what a wonderful word, a fascinating era!
There, Zhang Nan knew that the three of them were very likely to come into contact with the treasure hunters of all over Europe, but at the same time, it was the most troublesome kind of treasure - Nazi treasure!
As soon as they got off the plane, the three were asked to declare how much cash they were carrying.
Germany is heavily taxed, and even on the train, it is often checked whether its residents are carrying a large amount of cash, just in case you have income and do not pay taxes according to the regulations!
It is a good intention to check the foreigners who have entered the country, so as not to be unclear when they leave the country.
The three of them add up to less than $20,000, no problem. However, the German customs officers also asked a few more questions about the three people who held American and Chinese passports, which made Guan Xingquan a little unhappy.
But in other people's land, it's better to be more stable.
"Nasty German!"
Out of the customs, Guan Xingquan complained.
"Germans are proud, proud in their bones, they look down on people from any other country in the world, sometimes they look down on themselves, it's strange, isn't it? ā
Zhang Nan didn't care.
Or first went to Citibank's office in Munich, exchanged some Deutsche mark, and then accompanied by bank staff, Guan Xingquan notarized his American driver's license, and then went to rent the most inconspicuous Volkswagen car.
Just a few days in the United States, on the basis of strong economic strength, Guan Xingquan has already obtained an American driver's license. I took two exams in total: a written test and a road test, which added up to less than two hours, and I got it all done in one day, which is super fast!
It would be up to Kwan Xingquan to drive in Germany, and he was the only one of the three who knew a little German.
This German was not learned in the army, but was taught by an old professor next door when he was studying. It's not proficient, and it's at the level where Germany barely gets lost.
"Brother Guan, how many foreign languages do you know?"
Zhang Nan asked him.
"English is native, Vietnamese monkeys can speak and listen but don't understand well, German is okay at most, Russian is okay, basically understandable. By the way, I can understand Japanese, but I can't speak it if I don't understand it. ā
You!
Japanese, as long as you are a Chinese who graduated from elementary school, you can basically understand it, especially place names, street signs, signboards and whatever: a large number of Chinese characters on it, Mongolia can cover a lot!
But even so, this is basically a four-language master, awesome!
In fact, according to his brother-in-law, Guan Xingquan is a standard language genius: he can also speak at least two minority languages, Mongolian and Tibetan, and as long as he stays in an unfamiliar language for a while, he can learn some commonly used everyday expressions.
This Zhang Nan has seen it: after staying in Paris for a few days, in the end, Guan Xingquan was able to put aside the Chinese student translators he found through Citibank, and bargained with those shopkeepers in French!
Before arriving in France, he had only learned two or three everyday French greetings.
Absolute language genius!
How could such a powerful genius be demobilized?
Regarding Zhang Nan's question, Xiang Weirong smiled and said: "Sometimes it's not necessarily a good thing to be too talented and know too much. ā
Zhang Nan understands this truth, but he doesn't understand it when he is with Guan Xingquan.
However, no one asks about his big secret, and Zhang Nan will hide his questions about Guan Xingquan to death!
Staying in a mid-range hotel in the western part of Munich, the trio went out with a detailed map of Munich.
"Brother Guan, let's go here first. ā
Pointing on the map.
"Rosenberg Road, it looks like a suburb on the map, you should find it. ā
Guan Xingquan is not sure, he still spelled out the name of the road according to the pronunciation, and he doesn't know if it is correct.
He was really right, Zhang Nan knew that it was such a name, a name that was very easy to remember.
Unfamiliar places, half-blind words, you can ask how to find a place, but it is difficult to find the target point. Fortunately, the three of them were not in a hurry, so they looked for it slowly and asked slowly.
Everyone wore sunglasses in their pockets and prepared hats, which really smelled of espionage work in movies.
The presence of three Asian men on the outskirts of Munich is a real curiosity among the Germans who see them.
After driving for more than half an hour, the half-new Volkswagen finally arrived on the Rosenberg Road.
This is a typical suburb, and Zhang Nan can see a small number of factories interspersed with the roadside, but there are also many houses of residents.
It's not the kind of single-story villas that are common in the suburbs of American cities, but there are mostly five- or six-story apartment buildings, and I don't know if this area is not rich, or if this is the case in Germany.
The car ran back and forth along the road for a half time, and Zhang Nan had been looking at the apartment buildings on both sides.
"Brother Guan, pull over. ā
Across the road, there is a white six-story apartment building nestled among tall trees. (To be continued.) )
