Chapter 1712 - Insider

After the meal was finished, it was almost evening, and the people had no intention of wandering around the old town, a few kilometers to the south, but took a walk around the castle grounds, and rested and fell into jet lag after an hour or two.

The highest point of the castle is the two towers on the west side, Zhang Nan and his party climbed up to look into the distance, under the light of the setting sun, the scenery of ten or twenty kilometers nearby is in full view.

The Sudetenland in early summer is stunning!

Nearby, the foundation on the west side of the castle is on a canyon, and the mountain on the opposite side of the canyon also belongs to the scope of the castle hill, which is also the company's property.

Zhang Nan deliberately looked at the Sudetenland Mountains in the southwest, and he was familiar with this term when he was reading, the Sudetenland, where the Germans welcomed the arrival of the German army.

And then...

It was not long before the Czech Republic was swallowed, and Slovakia became a protectorate.

As for now, there are few Germans in the entire Sudetenland, and after World War II, German-speaking people in that area, like the Germans in the eastern Silesian region, were driven to the northwestern part of Germany, which is commonly referred to in modern official sources as "territorial adjustment and population migration".

If you are defeated, it is meat on the chopping board, and anyone can come up and cut a few knives.

The Waubrzych region is also part of the Sudetenland, and there are now few Germans in the entire province, which was also driven to Germany after World War II.

But...

There are still a few Germans who live or die, and all of them lived in this castle before and during the war.

Just after seven o'clock in the evening, Alexander Komorowsky's men brought in an eighty-year-old lady and her son, who was nearly sixty years old, Dorota and her son Opold, the only people in the entire city of Waubuzhkh who remembered what the castle looked like before the war.

The old lady still lives in a farmhouse on the side of the hollow-shaped hotel halfway up the mountain, but tomorrow she will have to move: the whole area has been bought by Komorowsky, including Dorota's house, of course.

It's not the government and businessmen - colluding to carry out forced demolitions, because there is no need at all!

Now that the economy is in a recession, the old lady and his son, who is a geophysicist and unemployed, and several grandchildren, are happy to receive a large amount of compensation.

"What if you don't move?"

I haven't thought about it, and it's better not to think about it, it's not easy to be a nail household, especially in Poland, where the economy is depressed and the social order is chaotic.

The compensation given by people is very good, that has to be carried around, and if you provoke others, you don't need to buy the land to make a move, and the local department can make you feel crooked!

Those who see the dollar in their eyes shine can do anything for the sake of this business.

They continued to live nearby, only because they needed to recall some of the interior of the castle before it was remodeled by the Germans, and they also received an additional consultant's allowance from the company.

Now that the castle renovation has entered the final stage, the two of them are also going to move to the city to live with their families, and today they are staying here to tell Zhang Nan some past events, except for the mother and son, no one in the whole area knows about the old things.

The old lady, who was short and in good spirits, spoke to the audience in German, not in Polish: "I married here at the age of 18 and have been serving the marquis's family for 12 years, and my husband's family has been the head of the marquis's family for several generations...

Later, Leo became the little marquis's little henchman, and received a formal education from the age of six, the best kind, otherwise he would not have become a scientist..."

The old lady spoke a little chattering, Guan Xingquan and Joseph were interpreters, Zhang Nan always respected the elders, and she didn't think she was trivial, so she listened quietly.

Listening to an old lady talk about the old stories of the aristocratic castle before World War II in the castle is still a bit interesting, and there are not many opportunities like this.

โ€œ... I remember that at the beginning of '43, the castle and the entire castle hill, as well as almost 40 square kilometers of land nearby, were requisitioned by the army, by the way, the German army.

It's all Germans who are not very reasonable, so they let them take away some valuables, which is almost as if they were driven away, and they are arrogant and unreasonable!

We and the Marquis's family had to move, and then the neighborhood was not approached, and there was a barbed wire fence all around, and there were sentry posts at several intersections.

Our family lived in a farmstead on the south side of the Marquis, almost four kilometres to the south, which had long since become a car factory for the manufacture of spare parts for the Polish Polonaise car. โ€

"That Poland", literally translated, it is clear that this old lady Dorota is still a German at heart!

When Zhang Nan heard this, a little smile appeared on his face, as if he had thought of something very funny, and he couldn't help laughing.

He thought of the Chinese people, and only those who are very familiar with the Chinese language understand: the Polonaise car, which is quite familiar to the Chinese people.

The famous Polish car brand began to export a large number to China 10 years ago, which will run happily on the land of China, but most of it is in the northern region.

According to the Chinese pronunciation, the name of this car brand is really interesting - Polo (pineapple) is (milk) Zi (child)!

That's not all, there are more funny ones, such as omitting the two words, directly into "(wave) (milk) car, (****) car...", the spoof of the eighties can rush out of the sky, fortunately, the river crab god did not exert power on this that year.

"The farm where we lived was right next to the blockade, and every day after that we could hear explosions coming from under the ground for more than a year, two small ones at a time, as punctual as clockwork.

At that time, no one knew what the soldiers were doing, but various versions of the rumors were flying, the most popular being that they were building houses for the Fรผhrer.

Then the Russians came, and the fighting was very fierce, shelling and bombardment all day long, and quite a few people died..."

The old lady didn't say much about this, and as a German, it was not a pleasant memory.

"After the war, I quietly went back to the castle, and there was no one in the whole castle hill, and many of the old furnishings in the castle were either gone, burned or blown up.

But there were a lot of things, and those who were soldiers dug wells in the castle and built two elevator shafts, but they were all blown up and blocked.

There were also tunnels under the cliffs to the west, which Leo had entered and seen when he was a teenager, and they were all in all directions, but all the deeper places had been blown up. โ€

Then her son took over and said, "It was the summer of '45, when I was 12 years old, and I went in with the blacksmith's son.

But soon the Russians blockaded it again, and some of them still lived on our farms.

They excavated the tunnels in the castle, but they dug it for less than two weeks before they left again.

The Russians didn't know that I knew Russian, and when I was bringing them vegetables, I heard that I wanted to dig up some secrets that the empire might hide, but everything was dug up, so I blew up those tunnels again..."

A 12-year-old German child, who had been learning Russian with his tutor with the little marquis since he was more than 6 years old, was a few people in the Soviet Red Army at that time who could think of this!
