Chapter 6: Meeting the Count
Follow the other party's car to the Earl's Court.
After getting out of the car, Chen Fan looked at the magnificent Earl's Mansion and sighed: "It's really a big dog, the nobles are really rich." โ
Jack said that Chen Fan has been:(; ยดะด๏ฝ)ใ
When he came into the house, Chen Fan saw a room full of dogs and leopards, saying that he was now a transparent person
After walking for a while, the two of them came into a living room, and Chen Fan saw the main person of the trip, the earl.
I saw that the Earl came over with a smile on his face and shook Jack's hand.
"Flying Eagle, how is the scenery in the Amazon?" The Count asked with a smile on his face (gloating).
"The scenery there is great and the people are so friendly!" Not to be outdone, Jack was not to be outdone.
"By the way, this is my assistant Chen Fan, who gave me a lot of help on the way."
"Hello Earl." "Hello, Chen!" The two sides shook hands to show their closeness.
After greeting each other, the earl said that he wanted to invite Chen Fan and the two to tea.
"Count, you didn't invite us here just to invite us to tea, did you?"
"Don't mention that yet, Flying Eagle, I have a question for you."
"Ask any questions."
"What do you think about World War II?" The Count asked casually.
"All I know is that there can be no World War III." Jack smiled and expressed his opinion.
Seeing Jack's slippery answer, the Count said that he was very tired.
So I cut straight to the point.
"At the end of World War II, the German army received a directive from the top when it was retreating in defeat in Africa. They were to bury some of the gold they had looted in Europe in a secret base in Africa. And it was Sir Kirdelin who was in charge of this task at that time. But it was Kirdelin who gave the task to his most trusted lieutenant. โ
The Count paused to catch his breath after saying a great deal of things in one breath, and then began to repeat it.
"The adjutant led eighteen personal guards on this mission, but all of them disappeared by the time they finished their mission."
"It's a beautiful story, but what does it have to do with me?" Jack said, spreading his hands.
"Now the United Nations has entrusted me with the hope that I will find this gold."
"But it shouldn't be my turn, right?"
Jack has a bad old man's expression on his face, and he wants to hurt me with some ideas.
The Count said that he was innocent and angry, but he had to endure it.
The above picture observed by Chen Fan, as a bystander, with his own incomparably subtle insight.
"This gold was looted by the Germans in the occupied territories, and if my people were to find it, it would cause many countries to fight for its ownership."
โso๏ผโ Subconsciously interjected and came in, Jack said that he had been taken away by Chen Fan, and hurriedly showed an apologetic expression.
Suppressing the anger that came out of his heart, the Earl continued to repeat: "So I would like to invite you to go, and you can avoid many embarrassing problems by carrying out this mission in your unofficial Asian way. โ
While speaking, several people walked into a hall, and at this time, three people were sitting in the hall.
"Come, let me introduce you, this is Colonel Bode, this is Lieutenant Colonel Banner, and this is Feiying and his assistant Chen Fan."
After shaking hands with each other, the Earl turned around, and the Earl introduced: "This is Ada, Ada is Professor Paul's disciple, she is very familiar with the desert environment, this time she will take you there, you will definitely be able to reach your destination smoothly." โ
Jack withdrew the hand he was about to shake and turned his head in surprise: "You said she took us to the desert?" โ
"You don't seem to have faith in me, huh?" Ada looked unconvinced.
"Well, this, I have a question that I don't know whether to ask." At this time, Chen Fan raised his hand and asked in a low voice.
"Say!" Ada saw that Chen Fan raised his hand to him, so he naturally knew what to ask.
"Well, young lady, have you ever been to the desert?"
"No, but I know the desert well."
"So it's all theoretical knowledge, right? Then I'll say I've been to Mars. Chen Fan muttered quietly.
"You!!" Ada pointed at Chen Fan with a burst of fire in her eyes.
And Jack gave Chen Fan a thumbs up to him, not to be my good brother.
Although I agreed with it in my heart, I still said against my will: "Please don't care about Ms. Ada, we do everything to prepare for the worst and hope for the best." โ
"I think that as long as you have enough understanding, planning and preparation, plus a little bit of on-the-spot adaptability, then there is no such thing as being overwhelmed."
"Ha, it's great to be able to work with someone so confident."
Jack didn't want to quibble with Ada about it, so he ended the conversation.
On the side, Chen Fan pursed his lips disdainfully, and said in his heart: "Don't you want to see if your academic school can compare theory with Jack's practical school?" โ
To be honest, the three female characters in the whole movie, Chen Fan, are only optimistic about Peaches, who are Japanese, and the other Ada and Elsa seem to have been screaming and screaming from beginning to end, except for being funny, they don't have much effect, and they often help their teammates.
At this time, Colonel Bode stepped forward and opened the lockbox in Banner's hand.
He took out the key inside and introduced: "This is the key to the base, which is temporarily kept by the earl, and now I will give you the key." โ
"The gold has been buried for more than 40 years, and I don't know if it's there." Jack asks his own questions.
"The government has kept this key, no one will be able to get in, don't worry." Colonel Bode's face was full of confidence.
"The pyramid of the Pharaoh has no key, and there are no tomb robbers who have entered it."
Chen Fan said that he also has a sense of presence.
"Impossible, the base is a highly military secret, and it is impossible for ordinary people to know about it."
Chen Fan shrugged his shoulders: "Okay, you are the boss who has the final say." โ
"I have another question, although this is a cooperative operation, if there is a dispute, who should decide?" Ada stepped forward and gestured.
"I think Jack is a good fit for the conductor."
"I don't care, whoever is in command can do it."
Chen Fan: I knew that you guys couldn't walk when they saw beautiful women.
Jack: I'm called gentlemanly, humble lady.
"Well, since Mr. Flying Eagle is okay, it's up to me to decide." Ada said impatiently.
"Tomorrow morning at ten o'clock, the Royal Library will be waiting for me."
"...... tomorrow morning"
"Eh, it's up to me." Ada immediately began to exercise her decision.
"That's it, I still have something to go first."
After saying that, Ada turned around and shook hands with Jack after saluting the earl, who knew that Jack planned to stick it up to take advantage.
Jack:???
"Lick the dog until there is nothing left." Chen Fan complained.
Jack, who didn't take advantage, said he was embarrassed.
