It doesn't really matter how it turns out - in treasure hunts like these, the ending is always the same, and the treasure is always found for various reasons by someone in the team who either goes to God or embarks on a long, magical adventure to retrieve the treasure - and usually accompanied by a brave and beautiful lady. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Of course, Messerschmitt's situation may be the same as that of Indiana. Jones was very different, not only did he not have that brave and beautiful lady, but he also did not look for Lissmann, or even go to Germany; Perhaps, if it weren't for the chance encounter with an unlucky German spy in Canton Bay, Messerschmitt would never have thought of having an old account to settle with him.

It's funny, it's certainly weird, it's a little weird.

Qin Lang wondered how his spy instructor would explain the problem.

"We searched the Namib Desert for three months, but we didn't find anything" - things started to get more interesting - "Eventually, the others decided to leave, leaving me and Lissman to continue the search." After another week, Lissmann suddenly announced that he did not want to do any more, so we returned to Lüderitz together, and then Lissmann declared that he had to return to Berlin to report his duties, and left South-West Africa in a hurry. ”

The story seems to be back to the old routine...... Wait a minute. Qin Lang suddenly thought of another interesting possibility. A playful smile appeared on his face again.

Messerschmitt didn't pay attention to Qin Lang's expression, and of course even if he did, he wouldn't understand what it meant. Taking a sip of coffee, he continued: "For a long time I thought that he had found nothing, as did several other German spies involved in the operation. But last year, when you were at the Philadelphia conference, I met an old friend of the German intelligence agencies who told me that Lissmann had sold four diamonds for 70,000 marks, and that he was planning to buy a large plot of land in the Namib Desert. ”

"How does he know?"

"Lismann did not hide these things—he had done them in 1893, perhaps he thought everyone else had forgotten, and that three German spies who had been involved in the search had already met God in the past few years."

"Murder?"

Messerschmitt shook his head. "Disease. Prolonged dizziness, fatigue, nausea and vomiting, and finally death from malignancy. And their relatives have also been affected. So Lisman gave up on the idea of buying land in the Namib Desert. ”

"He thought it was a curse?" It is very likely that superstition is always everywhere, but Qin Lang knows another possibility: diamonds are not the only important mineral in Namibia, there are also uranium mines. Interestingly, Namibia's only uranium mine is also in the Namib Desert and is one of the largest open-pit uranium mines in the world. While industrial mining is difficult because the ore is all embedded in hard granite, there will always be fragments that have no commercial value but are deadly enough.

So it is clear that the three German spies "incidentally" brought back some uranium ore while searching for diamond mines, so that they and their relatives were exposed to radiation for a long time, and finally went to God in advance...... Maybe it should have been.

Qin Lang shrugged his shoulders secretly. Deserve.

But it's also a good thing that Mr. Lisman thinks the cause of his three colleagues' deaths is some kind of mysterious curse, otherwise he would have become a rich nouveau riche and Namibia's diamond boom would have started more than a decade earlier. Of course, there is a premise that he did find the diamond mine.

"Do you think Lissman did find it?"

Messerschmie heads up. "A guy who had vowed to find the diamond mine one week ago announced that he had given up the search the next week, and the only plausible explanation was that he had found it, but he didn't want anyone else to know. And I checked with two other German spies that Lismann had indeed sold four diamonds, and that he had been approached for a share of the money. ”

Very logical inference, but just inference. Until there is enough clear evidence, would a former professional spy take a risk? And according to Qin Lang's judgment, Messerschmitt was almost as sane and calm as he was - meaning that the possibility that he would be impulsive was almost non-existent.

But......

Qin Lang shrugged. "You want him to tell you where the diamond mines are?"

"Everybody wants to be rich."

"Maybe." "But it lacks realism." ”

Even without considering whether Lissmann actually found a diamond mine and not just a few rough diamonds by luck, or whether he was willing to name the location of the mine, there was a serious obstacle to Messerschmitt's plan: the German government. Southwest Africa was a German colony, and anyone who wanted to mine anything there had to get permission from the colonial authorities, but would the bureaucrats allow a foreigner to mine their diamonds?

Of course, Messerschmitt could have disguised himself as a German, which was very easy for him, but the German colonial authorities could have done it another way, demarcating a restricted area large enough to give a German company with close ties to the authorities the right to monopolize exploitation - as it has been in known history - without tendering, without bargaining, without any room for manoeuvre. The authorities know how to protect its interests.

Messerschmitt won't get much of a chance, and he certainly understands it. A calm, sensible, and understanding that the prospects were not rosy would come up with an extremely risky plan and start implementing it, Qin Lang didn't believe that things would be so simple.

If he was only for the diamonds, then he must have had a partner who was strong enough to influence the colonial authorities; If he's not just for the diamonds, then Carl Hinds. What else is Lisman worth?

With his brother working as an engineer in Krupp, a diamond mine in Namibia, and other secrets, Qin Lang became interested in the German spy imprisoned in the basement of the base. On second thought, it seems that it is really necessary to abandon the plan to sabotage the spy instructor for the time being.

Perhaps this was Messerschmitt's purpose, to arouse his interest and to ensure that Lissman remained alive. However, if he thought he had succeeded, it was a mistake.

"If he does know where the diamond mine is, I can keep Lisman alive for the time being." Qin Lang pretended to think about it—just like Messerschmitt had done before he started telling him the story, "But you must immediately return to Area 51 to avoid the secret investigation that the German intelligence agencies will inevitably conduct." As for Lissman, the Security Service will make sure that he tells you the secrets you want to know - you should understand the Security Service's capabilities. ”

Messerschmitt did not like this decision. If Qin Lang's security department was allowed to interrogate Li Siman, relying on the interrogation skills that those people had trained through interrogating Japanese spies and had been instructed by Qin Lang, Li Siman would tell everything he knew, and there would be no left at all, but he didn't want Qin Lang or others to know about many of them.

He began to protest. "But ......"

"Mr. Messerschmitt, do you think that the Security Service is incapable of getting him to tell the secret without seriously hurting your friend, or do you think that the Security Service has no authority to take over the matter?" Qin Lang's tone was very flat, and his tone was even lower than at other times, but his accusation was quite serious.

The security department has no authority to take over, which means that the company does not have the authority to take over, but as an employee of Umbrella, and in fact he used the company's personnel and facilities in the operation, and put the company at obvious risk, if he admits to Qin Lang's accusations, Messerschmitt will immediately lose two things that are very important to him: Lissman; His work. However, this is a price he cannot afford.

Messerschmitt knows the seriousness of the problem. Whether he loses Lissman or his job at Umbrella, Morgan will punish him, but not too harshly; However, if he loses both, the Wall Street emperor's punishment for him becomes unusually severe. It's not just a hassle of one plus one equals two.

He couldn't accept an outcome that was too bad.

After hesitating for a moment, Messerschmitt had no choice but to compromise. "I'll go back to District 51 at once, boss. But Lisman's secret ......"

"I'm not interested in your diamond mines - especially when you need to deal with the Germans." Qin Lang said nonchalantly, "But if you don't mind, I hope to invest in your diamond company." ”

It's not at all like a sign of disinterest in diamond mines. But Messerschmitt didn't care at all, as long as he determined the location of the diamond mine and then leaked the news, the matter was no longer relevant to him. Qin Lang won't get any benefits, but he won't lose anything either.

Of course, he still has a bitter face. "I don't mind, boss. After all, you already know. ”

"But not much." Qin Lang smiled, stood up and walked out of the cabin. But instead of immediately returning to Mahan, he went to the end of the corridor and knocked on the door of the room.

"From now on, the resumption of the fight against Friedrich Karl. Messerschmitt's round-the-clock surveillance," he whispered to the people in the room, "I want to know where he has been, who he has seen, and what he has done. Also, there's a guy in the basement of the base called Carl Hinds. Lissmann's German spy, figure out what he knows. ”

"As you wish, boss."

For a moment, Qin Lang's breathing seemed to speed up, but then it returned to its original rhythm and exhaled a puff of empty air.
