Volume 1, 1st Pot of Gold, Chapter 765, Codebook from Berlin

Next chapter

The codebook came from Berlin and was donated by the generous Mr. Woolly Fergus. Speaking of the origin of this codebook, it has to be traced back more than 70 years. As Churchill's translator, Hugh Rancy is considered to have been the first Englishman to be allowed into Hitler's bunker after the capture of Berlin. In that gloomy and wet bunker, he was told by the Soviet sentry that he could take something from the bunker back to London as a souvenir. In Hitler's conference room, he took one of the volumes of the Brookhouse Encyclopedia, as well as the codebook that had been placed on the shelf. ”

Upon his return, he handed over the codebook to Churchill, but it was not taken seriously. The war has been won, and no matter what information is recorded on it, it doesn't matter to the British, who have already defeated the demons. After a symbolic decipherment, the codebook was sent to the museum in London, along with other memorabilia. Later, after several turns, the codebook came into the hands of a collector from Berlin, our generous Mr. Woolley Fergus. ”

As he spoke, the host looked at Woolly Fergus with a smile, and the latter also smiled and nodded, indicating that you are welcome.

"No one knows what is written on it, and the jumble of characters is like a madman's graffiti. If it weren't the last moments of a leader's ramblings, then he must be hiding some earth-shattering secrets...... But none of that matters anymore. It once belonged to a demon, but now it will be used for great causes. The starting price is one million dollars, and each increase must not be less than 100,000 yuan, and all the proceeds will be used to help those who have been displaced by the war!"

As soon as the words fell, someone in the audience held up a sign.

"One million! Thank you, oh my, two million! Mr. Fergus from Paris directly added a million dollars! Thank you for your generosity......"

The auction is conducted in an open manner, and the host will offer words of blessing to each bidder, no matter how much the price is raised. Perhaps frightened by the financial resources of Mr. Fergus who directly doubled the price, the hammer in the host's hand struck twice and no one raised the card.

Jiang Chen glanced in the direction of Carmen Rothschild and saw that he was indifferently sipping red wine, as if he was not very interested in this product.

"Are there any interested buyers? If not, three million!"

Jiang Chen held up the sign.

"Three million once! Three million twice! Three times! Deal! Thank you, Mr. Jiang Chen, your generosity will be remembered by everyone!"

Three million to buy a notebook, in the eyes of people who don't know the truth, they are full of food and have nothing to do. For collections with no artistic value, the final destination is at most a historical museum, and there will not be too much room for appreciation. However, this was at the charity gala, no one would think so, and the sight of Jiang Chen was more praise and blessings.

Everyone thought that he wanted to do something for the poor people from the bottom of his heart, so he directly raised the price by one million and offered a high price of three million dollars.

There were only two people who didn't think so, one was Jiang Chen himself, and the other was Rothschild sitting at the other end of the venue.

The auction went on, but there was nothing interesting about the next lot of bids. Jiang Chen paid attention to Carmen's side, except for the fountain pen he had used, he only took two shots. A fifteenth-century knight's armor from Western Europe, a winery in Croatia.

In fact, Jiang Chen was quite interested in that winery, but after thinking about it, Croatia seemed to be located in the Balkan Peninsula, so his idea faded a lot.

The Balkans, which seemed to be the gateway to Europe for refugees, are even more chaotic now. Buying a winery in this place, Jiang Chen felt that he was afraid that he would not be interested in going there for a vacation. And it seems that he just bought a golf course in Japan at the foot of Mt. Fuji, and the engineering team he hired is turning the golf course into a private estate that is not open to the public.

After a while, hire a few more gardeners, plant a vine on that estate, and let's get a winery or something.

Just when Jiang Chen was thinking this, Mr. Rothschild had already defeated the bidding opponent for 90 million US dollars and successfully auctioned the manor.

At the end of the auction, Adam Gallway read out to the guests the funds raised in the auction, a total of 420 million US dollars.

Finally, he once again thanked generous entrepreneurs such as Jiang Chen and Rothschild. Especially Jiang Chen and Rothschild, the combined donations of these two people are equivalent to almost half of the funds raised by the whole audience.

After the party, Jiang Chen met Rothschild, who was also heading to the elevator, on the way to the elevator.

"So, what exactly is that funny thing you're talking about?"

"Didn't you already shoot it?" said Carmen with a smile.

"Are you referring to the $110 million painting, or the graffiti book that the Führer used? ”

"Haha, you're really humorous," Carmen laughed out loud, not holding back, "it's not a graffiti book, it's an original of the last century's unsolved mysteries." Some say that it contains a secret of the Third Reich. Others say it's a treasure map. The Sixth Division of the British ** Intelligence Department has never given up on deciphering the codebook, and the copy has been lying in the classified archive. Of course, one thing the host said was right, and that was that no one has been able to crack the secret recorded in this codebook. ”

"Do you think I can crack it?" Jiang Chen joked, "You overestimate my strength too much." I'm afraid that when this original arrives in my hands, it will be the same fate as lying in the archives and falling into ashes. ”

"Then it's not my problem," Carmen laughed and teased Jiang Chen, "I just said it's a fun thing, but I didn't say you're going to find the Nazi treasure." ”

Items worth more than one million at auction are usually delivered to the winner's home by a dedicated escort. However, at Jiang Chen's request, after paying the money, he directly took the codebook from the auctioneer.

Sending Xia Shiyu back to the hotel, Jiang Chen returned to his residence on the top floor of the Central Building with the three-million-dollar codebook.

When he got home, Aisha had already set up the bath water for him, and the water temperature was just right.

Under Aisha's service, Jiang Chen took a relaxing and pleasant bath. Wrapped in a bath towel and returned to the study from the bathroom, Jiang Chen took the briefcase containing the code book, and sat directly at the desk.

The black-gray cowhide is covered with the dust of history.

There was nothing written on the cover of the codebook, and only a small swastika flag carved out of the middle of the cover could be seen...... (To be continued.) )
