Chapter 671: Nazi Treasure
……
"Authentic German stout! I didn't expect them to be well prepared?"
took out a bottle of beer from the box next to him, opened it, took a sip of wine and meat, sat on the recliner, and Liu Dong ate it comfortably.
It happened to be noon guarding two beautiful women, and he didn't eat very much, which would be just the right time to add a little more.
"Wow, it's so fragrant, Liu, you actually hide here and eat by yourself, and you don't call us!" Alyssa's personality has a big grin that is common among Western girls, so after returning from being tired, seeing that Liu Dong had already baked a lot of delicious food, after complaining, he picked up two barbecued meats and put them in his mouth to eat.
However, Mei Xue still retains the restraint common to oriental women, although Liu Dong's barbecue is fragrant, but she still eats it in small sips and is reserved.
"Liu, thank you for the barbecue, it's really great!" Blinder praised.
"You're welcome, I'm a eater, and when I come here, I always have to show my worth!" Liu Dong said with a smile.
may also be because of the shortest relationship between cannibalism, James did not target Liu Dong again this time.
"Hey, what do you think that FC is?" said Alyssa, who was clutching a grilled chicken leg and munching on it, suddenly pointing to the sea in front of her.
Her words immediately drew everyone's attention away from the food.
I saw that more than 100 meters away from Liu Dong, 20 or 30 meters away from the coast, there seemed to be something floating on the sea, because the distance was too far. Except for Liu Dong. Everyone else didn't see it very clearly.
"Someone can't have drifted here, right?" Alyssa guessed.
Hear the words. Liu Dong glanced at the other party, this woman is really a crow's mouth.
"Let's go, go over and have a look!" Blinder said hurriedly.
The curious crowd glanced at each other and ran towards the shore on the right.
By the time they reached their destination, the waves had pushed what they had seen to the shore.
"Is he saved?" said James.
"It's all soaked in seawater like this, do you think there is still salvation?" Liu Dong said.
"Hmph!" James also knew that he had asked an idiotic question, and after glaring at Liu Dong angrily, he looked at the shore that was lying on the shore. A male corpse in a black suit, but apparently dead for a long time!
"Hey, he seems to be holding something in his hand!" Curious, James took two steps forward and broke the right hand of the middle-aged man's corpse.
"James, you pervert, don't touch me with your hands in the future!" Alyssa complained loudly.
"Liu Dong, let's call the police!" Mei Xue, whose face turned pale, walked up to Liu Dong and said.
"Snow is right, you should call the police!" Blind said, nodding.
"Alas. I was going to have a casual island picnic, but it looks like it's a waste of water!" Alyssa complained.
"Guys. Come and see, this seems like something amazing!"
James' words instantly captured everyone's curiosity.
Although Alyssa and Mei Xue are deeply disgusted by the things on the dead man, women are sometimes more curious than men!
Several people flocked to James's side and saw the things in his hand clearly, this is a piece of animal skin about the size of A3 paper, probably because it has been preserved for a long time, so the animal skin has turned yellow, but the handwriting on it does not know what to write with, soaked in the sea water for so long, there is not the slightest blur and fading.
"This is the symbol of the German Nazis!"
Looking at the 'swastika' sign in the center of the hide, Alyssa was surprised.
There are few people in the world who don't know the German '10,000-character' symbol, and in the East, it often appears in Buddhism, so Liu Dong and Mei Xue are also very familiar.
But the next self is puzzling.
Because it's not the treasure map that everyone expects, but just a word!
"'The lovely princess has arrived, like the morning sun shining through the gloomy clouds. After a long time, the bitter love they held turned into ......smoke in an instant. 'What the hell does that mean?' Blinder was surprised.
"This is a passage from Sigfræry's first meeting with Klinsheed in the German "Song of the Nibelons"!" Liu Dong said after staring at the animal skin for a while.
"How do you know?" Alyssa looked at Liu Dongdao in surprise.
Alyssa is German, and she knows the "Song of the Nibelon", which is called the German epic "The Iliad", but the content is not clear!
"I happened to see it some time ago!" Liu Dong smiled indifferently.
Seeing that everyone was surprised by the erudition of a Chinese, James certainly did not want his rival to be pretty, and hurriedly said: "It's just that how can the content of "Song of the Nibelon" be written on this obviously unusual animal skin? Could it be that there is a clue to the Nazi treasure hidden in it?"
The treasures of the German Nazis during World War II are the topics that any European would be interested in and be able to talk about for a day and a night.
Even before the war began, the leaders of Nazi Germany were fond of looting works of art through state power.
Hitler dreamed of becoming an artist, and Goering, the No. 2 man in the Nazi Party, was a self-proclaimed "Renaissance" man who had a hobby of collecting and a wide range of interests, including paintings, jewelry, handicrafts, furniture and even rare animals. Long before the outbreak of the war, Goering's collection "amounted to 8 rooms". By the beginning of 1938, Goering's collection had far surpassed that of the "leader" Hitler.
In Vienna, Himmler's SS and the Nazis of Neo-Austria were among the first targets of the vast collections of Jewish magnates in addition to their blatant looting of Jewish shops and personal treasures.
The following year, the SS set their sights on 32 boxes of jewels hidden in Vienna after the fall of the Holy Roman Empire: Charlemagne's jeweled prayer book, several scepters, globes, swords, and other coronation ritual items.
Personal property was also constantly confiscated by the SS in the name of "protection".
Works by modern and Jewish artists like Picasso, Gauguin, Chagall and Kandinsky were labelled "degenerate art" and sold on foreign markets to fill the treasury of the Third Reich (Nazi Germany). These were transported in a steady stream to the Linz Museum, designed by Hitler and directly under the control of the museum.
In order to plunder the world like crazy. Hitler carefully organized a special force. Their task is to systematically and systematically inspect the precious cultural relics, gold and silver treasures of various countries. Carry out large-scale robbery.
At the same time, every time Nazi Germany occupied a country, its financial staff immediately seized the country's gold, foreign securities, foreign exchange, etc., and levied an astonishing amount of "occupation fees" from these countries. By the end of the war, the income from the "occupation fee" alone amounted to 60 billion marks. The Nazis also used various reasons to force the occupying power to pay "fines" and "tributes". According to the statistics of the relevant US agencies, this amount alone amounted to 104 billion marks.
After the German "blitzkrieg" conquest of Poland, Göring ordered the looting of Polish antiquities. Half a year later, "all the artifacts of this country." All have been received".
According to a secret German official report, by 1944, a total of 137 railway wagons, a total of 4,174 boxes, 20,973 pieces, and 10,890 paintings alone were transported to Germany from Western Europe, most of which were masterpieces by famous artists. Among them is the famous world-class national treasure 'Amber Room'!
Goering's collection of artifacts alone is worth 50 million marks according to his own estimates. Among them, there are 5,000 world-famous paintings, 160,000 jewel-inlaid treasures, and more than 2,400 ancient precious furniture. 1,500 of these items are rare treasures. It's literally a museum.
All of these treasures are well documented, and those that are not in the books are innumerable.
After the invasion of France, the Netherlands and other Western European countries. The Nazis made a 300-page catalogue of "protected" objects.
Even before the Third Reich collapsed, the top officials of the Nazi Party had a well-planned plan for revival. The Nazis had a plan to transport the wealth plundered during the war to other countries and hide it.
At the same time, the Allies were trying to recover the wealth, but it was not until early April 1945 that they realized the scale and complexity of the task.
Nazi gold, like a lightning bolt across the sky, gives people a chilling sense of fear.
The Second World War caused a lot of controversy and confusion, and even more than 50 years after the war, these controversies continued. Nazi gold is one of them.
It is so extensive that it can be roughly divided into four parts: the first part is deposited in the Vatican, Switzerland, banks in South America, and even the Bank of England and the US Federal Reserve;
There is currently a great deal of disagreement about the number of these riches, and it has given rise to a great deal of controversy. The only thing that is certain is that the value of most wealth is still difficult to estimate accurately to this day. In addition, a lot of Nazi wealth may have been used for its post-war revival.
For more than half a century since the end of World War II, this vast treasure that has gathered the wealth of the whole of Europe continues to attract thousands of treasure hunters, and every year news about Nazi guarantees has been reported in European countries. It's no wonder that James was reminded of Nazi treasure when they saw this obviously mysterious map!
"Maybe we're going to be great treasure hunters! Half a year, maybe a year from now, we're going to be billionaires in the eyes of the world. Blind, my friend, don't you think we should give up this damn vacation and go on a treasure hunt right away?" James glared at Liu Dong, his eyes were fixed on Blind's eyes, and he said excitedly.
From Blind's slightly excited look, it was clear that he was also interested in the map and the Nazi treasure.
It's just that Liu Dong next to him shook his head secretly, maybe this map is really related to the clue of a treasure in the Nazi treasure, but just based on the ghost drawing talisman on it, if you go to the treasure hunt without any reference, in addition to wasting your brains, it is also very likely to ...... Lose your life!
Thinking of this, Liu Dong subconsciously glanced at the whitish corpse next to him that had been blistered by seawater! (To be continued......)
