Chapter 316: Capture the Eagle's Nest (Part II)

The soldiers of the 2 battalion forcibly occupied the SS barracks. The barracks here are a group of Alpine-style apartment buildings, built recently, with a fairly modern design, plumbing and interior decoration. Officers and non-commissioned officers were accommodated in luxurious rooms overlooking Berchtesgaden, which belonged to former Nazi officers.

Winters chose the mansion of a Nazi official as the battalion headquarters, which was built on a steep cliff in Berchtesgaden. From the spacious balcony, you can see the clear and green waters of the Königssee. No one was ashamed to seize the German dwellings, not even Winters thought that no one would feel pity for the original inhabitants of the Germans as they slept in foxholes in Normandy, fought in the snow and ice, watched their brothers get wounded or even killed, and the miserable concentration camps.

Parks was in the residence of Goering, the second German Nazi who was idle during a tour with the Captain of Wales. This now makes them ecstatic. Parks had been planning to collect those precious works of art for a long time, and now was the perfect opportunity.

With a bang, the door opened. The two men walked towards the house, which was so large with their weapons in hand that it looked as if it had been looted. Most of them were empty, and with the exception of a few pieces of furniture that could not be moved, the rest was almost gone. This frustrated the two excited guys again, and it seemed that there was nothing good to be gained here.

"Damn, someone has already swept this place before us," said the Captain of Wales, looking dejected, as he walked around the empty hall with his pistol in his hand, and then put his pistol in his holster. Get ready to get out of here.

"No, wait," Parks said to him, "maybe we should have seen that this place was ruined and covered with dust, and we could tell that it wasn't our people who did it," at least Parks knew that there was a wine cellar with tens of thousands of bottles of champagne, wine, brandy, etc., collected from all over the world. He walked out of the house, and then towards the back of the house, he said to Wales, "There should be a basement in the back, let's go there and have a look, and hopefully those bastards will leave us some." ”

Parks was right, after the basement was opened, when the lights came on, the Captain of Wales' mouth couldn't close. In front of him was a huge wine cellar, and he couldn't help but whistle, then turned his head excitedly, hugged Parks, and laughed, "I think this is the wealth we found." God, your nose is really good, you can always find good wine," he said, and then he looked around, not knowing which bottle to take, because it was the best wine in the world

Parks, on the other hand, began to look around, trying to reproduce something, and returned empty-handed at the residence of the second Nazi man, which made him very unwilling to say that it was impossible for anything to be removed from the house of the second man of the German Nazis. So he soon found a hidden door at the back of the cellar.

"Harry," Parks shouted, "Come here, there's a secret door"

"Let's hope it doesn't disappoint us." Captain Wales walked over, and then he walked up to Parks with his submachine gun, looked at the door, shook his head, and said, "I'm sorry, Lacey." The door can't be opened" The lock used here is obviously the kind of safe used, which is extremely difficult to open.

"No, what other door can stop us?" As he spoke, Parks motioned for Captain Wales to stand back, then pulled out his pistol himself and fired wildly at the lock. The bullet hit the door with a "poof" sound, but it didn't penetrate the door.

"God, what kind of door is this?" The Welsh Captain exclaimed, then raised his submachine gun and fired at the door until the bullets ran out, but still did not penetrate the door, let alone the lock.

Parks snapped his mouth and smiled at Wales, "Harry, the deeper you hide, the more precious it is, and it seems that we will be in it for the rest of our lives." Give this to me," he said, removing one from the grenade hanging from the Welsh Captain's shoulder, bolting it to the door lock, and finally pulling the safety open. The two of them ran away quickly, and then lay down.

"Boom-" There was a loud bang, and the door could no longer be supported, and it arrived with a bang. The two men got up and walked cautiously inside, covering their noses with their hands, and in the dust that was raised, they went deeper and deeper into the secret room step by step. Then the two of them were stunned, their eyes wide.

In the shadows, through a glimmer of light from the cellar, there was a faint projection of golden light. Parks pulled out his flashlight and shone it in, and the two of them were shocked by the blinding reflection of the light.

With a "click", Parks touched the switch of the light in the secret room, and then the two of them were speechless in surprise again, this is simply a treasure, an unimaginable treasure. Even Parks who has seen enough of the world in his past and present lives, and who doesn't have a strong concept of money, can't help but gasp.

"Lacey—" the Welsh captain muttered, "you'd better slap me, hurry, Lacey"

"What's wrong with you? Harry," Parks and Wales were talking, but their eyes were fixed on the treasures. Pyramids of gold made of neat rectangular gold bricks, sparkling diamonds and necklaces hanging from shelves, and various ornaments and jewels made into art forms are neatly arranged on different special columns of tables and covered with glass covers. On the wall, there are many rare art paintings and sculptures.

"God," Major Parks exclaimed. The reason why this place was not revealed was that after Goering's death, this secret room became a secret, no one could show it, and no one could open it in this way. Or, to put it more bluntly, those who robbed the entire house did not have enough time to loot all the places that they missed the most important places. But anyway, now it's Parkes and Wales.

"God, you-you're right," Wales felt his voice tremble a little, even though he tried to control himself to appear normal, but his voice was still shaking, "you're right, this is the second half of our lives, and we can enjoy the rest of our lives without doing anything." God, God, God" He seemed incoherent, and could only call God.

"Brahman? "Parks couldn't help but open his mouth when he looked at a painting hanging on it, he knew how valuable Van Gogh's paintings were, and in the 21st century, his paintings would be sold for tens of millions of dollars or even hundreds of millions of dollars.

"Harry" Parks turned his head to see Captain Wales busy packing the jewels in his pockets, "I don't think we can get that much at our disposal, why not have Dick and Nickerson help?" ”

Wales was stunned for a moment, then looked down for a moment, and said, "Good idea, well, I'll go and call them over" and he threw out with a bag full of jewels. Parks made it very clear, in fact, so much wealth, if only the two of them shared it, it would definitely attract jealousy, Major Winters and Nexon will not talk about it for the time being, but what about the other officers? Or what about Colonel Zink? There is no guarantee that they will not resort to the means of getting Parks and Wales to spit out the jewels, and perhaps they will not get any money. The best thing to do is to divide evenly, and several senior officers of the battalion headquarters.

Soon the Captain of Wales came in a jeep with Major Winters and Captain Nickerson. Like Parks and them when they came in, when Nickerson was in the cellar, he began to marvel at the good wines in the cellar, and was shocked, and then after entering the secret room, they were completely stunned, even if Nickerson is a rich family who has no concept of money, he can't help but open his mouth and can't speak for a long time.

"God, you've robbed the richest of the people," Major Winters said to Parks, and then he stepped forward and walked towards the large counter of the other party's gold, reaching out and picking up a piece of gold, the heavy feeling and the flickering golden light made him a little dizzy, "Lacey, what are we going to do with these things?" ”

Nickerson also walked towards a table where the gems were placed, he picked up a diamond, squinted his eyes, looked at the huge gem, and couldn't help but exclaim, "I can't believe we're going to find something like this." ”

"Lacey, I'd like to hear your opinion," Winters suddenly turned to Parks, "these things are the first thing you appeared, and you have to figure out how to deal with them." You know, it's a really jealous thing. "It was clear that Major Winters also realized that this wealth was not something that the four of them could share. And Nickerson and Wales heard Major Winters' words and nodded, now they both have this awareness.

"That's what I think, Dick," Parks said to Lieutenant Winters, then at Nickerson and Wales, "that's what I think, guys. We'll pick the best stuff first, and then we'll seal it up and give it to Colonel Zinck to dispose of. Remember, no matter what we get, we have to remember that we didn't take anything."

Major Winters nodded, "Very good, I agree that we won't have any trouble." As he spoke, he picked up a piece of gold and smiled at them, then put it in his pocket

"Well, well, we've got the best of the best" The Captain of Wales, though a little unwilling, listened to Parks' advice, and began to pick any treasure of the best value that he had his eye on.

Parks did not let Van Gogh gogh gossip, he took the painting down, then packed it, and then selected a few small sculptures that would be of great value to later generations, selected a few diamonds, and took a few pieces of gold. That's enough.

This was a meeting of the four closest people of the battalion headquarters to share the spoils, and then Goering's secret room reported to the regimental headquarters, and Parks spread the news so that everyone knew about it, which caused a shock within the Allied forces, and Colonel Zinke was both excited and bitter, excited that he could pick gems inside, but painful was that he could not monopolize these things, and the whole Allied army knew about it, and he had to report it truthfully to the division headquarters. Of course, there's moisture in it. By the time it was reported level by level, the wealth in the secret room was also shrinking. Of course, in the end, there was a conclusion within the Allies that the first people who appeared in this treasure trove would be rewarded again.

And the reward part is that they can choose whatever they like among the shrinking layers of wealth, except for art, of course. It was Eisenhower's decision.

Wealth, this is the greatest wealth that Parks has achieved in Europe. And Winters, Nexon and Wales also lived a rich life because of Parkes.
