Before dusk, the Lynns were introduced by Baron Pat to meet two other Swiss entrepreneurs, but for lunch and most of the afternoon, it was only Lynn's riding that actually progressed. It can be seen that the entrepreneurs have chosen a relatively conservative business strategy in the immediate aftermath of the war, that is, they do not rush into industries that they are not familiar with or are not optimistic about, and the metals industry is unfortunately among them.

"At the bottom of this interlocking industrial chain, the production of steel raw materials, whether it is ore processing or scrap steel recycling, will encounter a relative low point in the production of steel raw materials, with a large number of machine tools being transferred from military supplies to civilian production, and steel ingots piling up in warehouses. Unless the Russians open their markets and buy all kinds of raw materials from the world for the reconstruction of their country. One of the entrepreneurs said.

Whether these predictions were accurate or not, Lynn had no way of going through the historical data on economic developments and changes in the industry, and he basically decided to abandon his plan to find shell companies in Switzerland at high cost, and instead swept north from Western Europe, France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Denmark, Norway, Sweden and then Finland with a sturdy Swiss bank check. He believed that by breathing the fresh air of freedom, his vision and thoughts would be more powerful when he could curl up in the "Vault" base.

Before leaving, with the tacit approval of Baron Pat, Lynn and Dinah returned to the café to fulfill their previous promise to the waiters. Pifil, the hapless kid, sent home. After more than five hours of sleep, the descendants of the German nobility were still dizzy, and Lynn had to wait for Baron Pat to drive the car, and then work with Wolfrum to get him into the car. According to the address given by the attendants, which Baron Pat knew very well, he was sent to a small villa south of the city of Neva, where, according to Baron Pat, the factory of the Pifil family was at the foot of the hill in the distance, and its main business was clocks, vehicle instruments, small castings and models. The fact that the scale has not been expanded for many years is not a matter of business strategy, but that the Swiss government does not want these industrial enterprises that pollute the environment to be large-scale, and has always had strict restrictions on their pollution standards. A lot of energy and money is spent on these areas, and it is difficult to introduce new production lines and recruit new workers.

Before arriving at his destination, Baron Pat did not care about Sigfred in the car. Feng. "During the war, it could have made the mechanical instruments and gun parts we needed, especially in the later stages of the war, when we used to offer very high prices, but this stubborn old aristocrat actually said that the money of the empire was dirty and stained with Jewish blood, and this guy probably stayed in Switzerland for a long time and forgot what color of blood he had in his bones!" ”

People have their own aspirations, not to mention the old German aristocratic officers with traditional value orientation, Lynn does not want to blame, but ponders how big the metal casting industry is a common surname, as far as the layman's understanding, the same machine tool, in the case of adjusting the operating parameters and part of the kit, should be able to cast different metal originals. Peacetime household hardware and metal frames, such as those produced in peacetime, could be used to make firearms and artillery parts once they were transferred to wartime rails.

Arriving at the Pifil family's villa, a courtyard building with a small size and an ordinary appearance compared to the surrounding houses, Baron Pat seemed very unhappy to ring the doorbell, and the servant who cleaned the yard happened to see a car coming, so he stepped forward to inquire about the situation. Seeing that his son-in-law was drunk and sent back, he hurriedly opened the door and informed the owner.

"Oh, hello to your delicate and precious son!" Baron Pat said angrily to the servants.

"Sigfred! What's going on? ”

With the voice, it was a middle-aged and elderly man who looked about the same age as Baron Pat, with a big white beard, his physique still looked very burly and strong, and he had the majesty of a soldier. Better stay away from my son! ”

Baron Pat said coldly, "Hey, Feng. Baron Pifil, as you know, I have never provoked your son, except for occasional visits to the Smifan Racecourse. He often won horse races there, but he was called a 'German guy' by the people around him, and it had nothing to do with us. We are looking at him today for poor ...... But I wasn't so kind, these three guests came all the way from Norway, and they took charge of sending your son back! ”

Lynn opened the car door and stood face to face when he and the von were standing face to face. Baron Pifil is about the same height, and his body shape is somewhat similar, the difference is that Lynn does not grow a beard, and the whole person is full of youthful vitality.

"Mr. Baron, I heard that you were once a cavalry officer in the Kaiser's Guard, and I admire you very much!" Lynn said as she politely extended her right hand.

Listen to Lynn's German, von . Piffil probably thought that he was really from Norway, shook his hand with him out of the most basic courtesy, thanked him for today's incident, and then turned to Baron Pat and said, "It seems that you have chosen to change careers in a timely manner?" If I could abandon the dirty thoughts of the past, my home would be happy to receive you as a guest. ”

"Your generosity really touched me!" Baron Pat sarcastically replied.

Feng. Baron Pifil obviously didn't understand the meaning of these words, he put away the ugly expression he had just made, and said to Lynn, "If you don't mind, just stay in the house and have dinner!" ”

Baron Pat was unwilling to be lonely and spoke from the side: "Aha, I have been in Switzerland for more than ten years, and I have never had a cup of tea at Pifil's house!" Today's sun is coming out of the west! ”

Just those questions about metal casting don't have to go to Feng. Pifil, find another professional technician to get the answer. Lynn smiled faintly and asked, "If I am also German, would Your Excellency the Baron still be willing to invite me so kindly?" ”

Feng. Pifil looked at this talented young man in surprise, as if he remembered himself back then, and remembered the handsome faces in some recruitment pictorials back then. Shocked, he took a step back, and then said categorically: "If it were just an ordinary German, my invitation would still be valid, but anyone who has anything to do with the Third Reich is not welcome to me, so please choose your choice!" ”

After more than a decade of knowing Baron Pat's identity as a spy and not reporting it, Lynn knew that von . Although Pifil had an antagonistic attitude towards the actions of the Third Reich, he still had the blood of the German aristocracy in his bones, and as long as he was not forced to jump over the wall, he would definitely not cooperate with the enemy.

Lynn smiled calmly: "All I can say is...... It's a pity. If one day Your Excellency can change this one-sided view and have a more objective understanding of the concept of a country and a nation, I will be very happy to come here! ”

With that, he bowed slightly, and then returned to the car.

It wasn't until Baron Pat drove away from the yard and finally drove away along the road that Mank. Feng. Pifil remained silent, the expression on his face was extremely complicated, and his eyes revealed a deep worry, as if the clear sky would be obscured by dark clouds. The bitter memories of the four-year world war, which caused millions of casualties, are still vivid, and the other war, which lasted for six years, was spent in an atmosphere of panic among the people of neutral countries, with bombs "mistakenly dropped" on both sides in order to exert pressure, and the situation of warplanes entering the airspace due to misnavigation was a manifestation of bullying.

Finally returned to the residence and caught up with Feng. They hired their own chef to cook a Swiss dinner, but the twelve people who had come all the way from Norway did not make it up. The Andries and their dinner seemed to have taken place outside, and according to the division of labor arranged at the morning meeting, the intelligence chief was to meet with some SS lurkers - I think that at the end of the war, the SS top brass also paved the way back, and they also amassed a considerable amount of wealth with the SS, many of which must have been prepared for Himmler and other high-ranking officials, but unfortunately he failed to escape and was caught by the Allies, and together with Goering, he became a heavy victim of the "Aryan Ark Project".

Courtland, who was in charge of the operation of funds, was not idle during the day, but he did not go to the bank in a grand manner, but went to a less conspicuous place such as the stock and futures exchange to learn about the current financial situation in Switzerland and even Europe. In Switzerland, many bank financiers took advantage of the demand of both camps to make a profit, and even the Swiss National Bank bought large quantities of gold from Germany in the early years of the war in exchange for much-needed foreign exchange cash, a similar situation that was common in the unofficial and illegal black market.

In contrast, the Central European intelligence chief Alfred Murphy who accompanied him on this trip. Schar and Financial Commissioner Rudolph. Dickfield's actions on the day were even more impressive, as they were led by the undercover intelligence officers to visit the underground black market in Neiva, which was filled with all kinds of cheap war goods - jewelry without the original owner, medals and accessories for the dead, and war weapons obtained through various sources, including the most classic Ruger 08, Wilbury revolver, Colt pistol, and the new MP44 assault rifle. To add insult to injury, there are also fighters, tanks and armored vehicles that are listed for sale, and the seller does not care whether the buyer is using them for private collection or for other purposes.

"Is there a line that sells weapons?"

During the banquet, Lynn asked casually, and Schar replied: "I really heard that there is, although it is not in stock, but as long as the price is right, they can get it from the American occupation forces." ”
