The Treasure Hunt of an Antique Dealer

phone-reading

Things have just been finished, the phone informs you to go to dinner, and the time is less than six o'clock: Germany's latitude is relatively high, and it is dark and early in winter. This is already the most used dinner time for Germans.

It’s not much different from the dinner habits of Chinese people, and it’s not too late.

In contrast, the habitual dinner time of Americans is a little later, but it is usually between six and seven o'clock. Mark, Paul and others will be almost hungry.

I have to be thankful that this is Germany. If you go to Spain or southern Italy, the dinner will probably not start until nine or ten in the evening.

Especially in Spain, there is a habit of taking a lunch break in almost the whole country. A sleep is a few hours. Many Spanish companies and government agencies set the lunch break from two to four thirty in the afternoon.

It is estimated that this is due to the long nap time. The habitual dinner time of Spaniards is usually very late, and many restaurants only open after 8 o'clock in the evening-tourist areas where foreign tourists gather will be slightly different.

During the meal, Zhang Nan brought Daniel here, because in the previous visits to West Germany, I heard that the eating habits of eastern Germany are quite different from those of Bavaria in the southwest. There are too many sweets here. May not be used to it.

Sure enough, after arriving at the restaurant, Zhang Nan, Guan Xingquan and Xiang Weirong had dinners with Daniel, and the other guys tabled local delicacies prepared by the chef of the resort.

The entire hotel was booked and connected in advance, and the menu provided by the restaurant became simpler. Zhang Nan took a glance and found that besides the old German sausages and trotters, there were also sweet curd pancakes and Christmas cakes.

Fortunately, there are also German-style schnitzel with chili sausage, braised beef, sour white cabbage, potato gratin, lentil soup, onion croquettes, and beef rolls. You can choose, otherwise some guys may have to ask Daniel for help tomorrow.

The restaurant also provides a very good white wine. The fruit after the meal is bananas: tropical fruits are relatively rare here today, because in the former East Germany, tropical imported products were still rare items here.

There were not many surprises for dinner. After the meal, I planned to go outside. When I passed the lobby, I saw a map of East Germany hanging on the wall. It seems that not all East Germans want the two Germanys to merge, at least not the manager of this hotel.

Boss Guan stopped for a while in front of the map and said: "The city passing by is called Karl-Marx City."

The names of cities that Chinese people feel very comfortable to hear are rare in the world.

When Zhang Nan heard it and saw the location of the city he pointed out, it was Chemnitz.

Yes, the city of Chemnitz is still called Karl-Marx City, but it will soon be changed to the old name of "Chemnitz" before the 1950s, and in another 20 years, the people of that city will be Will put the big sign of "Karl Marx City" in a prominent place in the city.

Time turns, before most people in East Germany wanted to go to the west. Now East Germany has no cheers. After 20 years, there will be many East Germans who will miss East Germany: After 2010, it is said that most of the former East Germans I think the life in the East German era will be much better.

Twenty years later, most of the former East Germans believed that it was an honor to be born in the former East Germany. These people were not unemployed or unwilling, but most of them were those who passed the class after reunification.

At that time, the University of Berlin conducted a large-scale public opinion survey: 57% of the former East Germans believed that the life in the past was much better after the unification; while 49% believed that the life of the former East Germany had shortcomings, but after all There are many advantages; 8% of people think that life in the former East Germany has zero disadvantages and would rather go back to live that kind of life.

At that time, many former East Germans would miss the camping and gatherings of friends that used to save money in the former East Germany. Unfortunately, the unity and comradeship are no longer there, and even money cannot be bought back.

Recalling that moment in front of the map, without too much emotion, went out to a nearby tavern. Drink some East German beer, listen to the accordion, and return to the hotel after ten o'clock.

Not to mention that this is Eastern Germany. Counting in the west, German pubs will not be open until late. It is still a matter of the future.

It's snowing outside the car.

......

Early the next morning, standing on a small balcony, the sky was still snowing. After breakfast, the snow stopped, and a group of people walked to another small holiday village on the edge of the woods 200 meters away.

It was originally the property of the local government. There was only a three-story house. The woods on the back and the lawns in front of it add up to five or six acres.

It's also next to the border, but it didn't open this winter: a month ago, Paul came forward to buy it at a price that was hard to refuse.

Buy a house for investment, live on your own vacation...

People don't care what you are doing.

Eastern Germany will soon carry out the reform of private ownership~www.readwn.com~ This corrupt official is found all over the world. Before the possible "massive layoff of millions of officials" comes, some German officials don't mind putting some of them in power while still in power. Inconspicuous state-owned property becomes hard currency cash.

As for Zhang Nan did not live there yesterday, because there were only two security guards from his own company who looked at the house, and there was no waiter, so it was uncomfortable to live there.

The reason for buying a house is also very simple: the treasure that may exist this time is not in the cave, but in the house!

Klingenthal was pointed out in Adolf Eichmann's notebook, and there were also relatively specific geographic coordinates for the location of the treasure. After Paul and the others arrived earlier, they found that there were two resorts nearby, and there were no traces of mines or tunnels.

When chatting with the local residents, I never heard of how many military buildings there were here more than 40 years ago, but there are quite a few German military officers here on vacation.

The hotel where Zhang Nan stayed was completely open to the public during World War II, and the slightly more remote place is more remote, but the terrain is very good: the location is on the side of the ridge more than 900 meters above sea level, overlooking the whole The triangular valley where Klingenthal is located.

Moreover, you can see the Sudeten scenery when you walk 30 meters away from the foothills, so the house was used as a holiday residence for SS officers, and it was managed by the same organization as the hotel 200 meters away.

Paul searched the neighborhood, and finally came to the conclusion: If the Nazis had hidden things here, they could only be in this holiday village near the forest.

I tried my best to buy the holiday villa, and spent several nights checking the lawn and woods near the villa with a metal detector, but nothing was found-none of the hotels nearby had walls.

The problem can only be in the villa house!
