Chapter 312, forty million dollars, Chen Jiaju is moved(2/2)
"Hey, you still understand me!" Uncle Biao was very satisfied with Chen Jiaju's answer and said with a smile, "I called you because I have something to trouble you. Do you know Count XX?"
"Count XX, I know."
Chen Jiaju nodded, recalling the glorious years before, and said, "When I was a detective again, I helped him retrieve several antiques, as if they were called God's Arms and could save world peace.
In fact, they are antiques used for sacrificial rituals, which are only liked by history-loving people like the Earl, but they are actually of no use at all."
"It can't be useless. At least he remembered you and gave you the task." Uncle Biao smiled and took out a file from the drawer of his desk with a bright red top secret seal on it and said:
"Do you know about ***gold?"
"I've heard that before Germany's defeat in World War II, they hid a lot of gold and jewelry in order to make a comeback."
Chen Jiaju nodded.
"***Gold" is a topic that attracts worldwide attention.
There are only two sources for it. One is the bank gold and various rare treasures, cultural relics and works of art plundered from the conquered countries when the German army conquered Europe.
The other is the wealth that the Nazis plundered from Jews, including rings and gold teeth from Jews.
These riches were hidden in Europe and North Africa during the latter part of the war.
Unlike those ancient treasure legends, gold is real and has been discovered.
The most amazing one is the "Mocks Salt Cave Treasure".
This is a salt cave located in the province of Thuringia in western Germany.
It is said that a US military team found hundreds of sacks of banknotes and a heavy iron door in the salt cave.
Because there were no tools, the small team did not dare to act rashly, so they reported to the superiors, and the frontline commander General Patton immediately sent engineers to support them.
Subsequently, the U.S. military blew open the large iron gate and found a huge warehouse inside. Under the illumination of searchlights, the scene in the cave amazed the veterans.
It was filled with gold and silver jewelry, including more than 8,000 shiny gold bricks, 50 large boxes of gold bars, and more than 1,000 bags filled with various gold coins.
In addition, there are countless jewelry, famous paintings, antiques and other valuable items.
No one knows how much wealth the U.S. military discovered in the salt cave. They only know that it was a lot. It is said that it took dozens of trucks to haul this treasure and turn it over to the Allied forces for management. It was used to provide compensation for the families of fallen soldiers and to compensate for the German war of aggression.
victim.
But that's certainly not all.
The Allied generals must have made a fortune. It is said that General Patton's death was related to gold. He knew too much.
"The reason why the count is looking for you is because of gold."
As he spoke, Uncle Biao opened the file and handed it to Chen Jiaju, saying: "In the early days of World War II, Germany was a formidable tiger. It not only occupied France, annexed Poland, but also invaded the Soviet Union and North Africa.
In North Africa, the German army commanded by Rommel defeated the greater number with fewer troops and fought from Tunisia to Egypt, only dozens of roads away from the Egyptian capital.
However, they were still blocked by the Eagle Nation people.
In the later period, due to the defeat in the war with the Soviet Union and the participation of beautiful countries in the war, the Germans had no choice but to withdraw from the North African battlefield.
However, before evacuating, the Germans buried hundreds of tons of gold and jewelry they had stolen from North Africa in a secret base in the Sahara to use as a source of support."
"Gold in North America, Uncle Biao, doesn't this information say that gold and jewelry were scraped and shipped from Europe? How did it come to North Africa?" Chen Jiaju pointed to the information and refuted Uncle Biao's words.
"Do you think it's possible to rob something in Europe and transport it to the desert of North Africa to hide it? If you want to make a comeback, hiding it in Germany is not a good idea. Why would you choose something far away?"
As for the information, just read it, you would be a fool to believe it.
Calling gold European is nothing more than trying to seize the gold. Regardless of whether it is found or not, it is first necessary to occupy the moral high ground. For Europeans who are both robbers and gentlemen, this is a normal operation.
As for who the real owner of the gold is, whether he is a brother in North Africa or not, that is not a concern for European gentlemen.
"It seems so." Chen Jiaju nodded, admitting that Uncle Biao was right, and continued reading with the information.
"Uncle Biao, if you show me the information, you don't want me to find gold." After reading the information, Chen Jiaju had an ominous premonition. How could he let a little policeman see this top-secret information?
"clever!"
Uncle Biao nodded, gave Chen Jiaju a thumbs up, and said, "People from the Eagle Country, the French gave up after searching for decades but failed to find this batch of gold.
The dead horse became a living horse doctor and entrusted the count with the task of retrieving the gold.
Because you helped the Count retrieve the God's Arms, he thought of you and issued a mission to you through the Political Department, asking you to go to Europe to find him."
"I was given a mission to find gold. Uncle Biao is in North Africa, not Xiangjiang. It is extremely difficult to find a person or treasure in Xiangjiang.
Looking for gold in North Africa is like looking for a needle in a haystack, and besides, it's a desert, so this bullshit mission is almost like risking death."
"If it were easy, gold would have been found long ago, and it would still be here today. You know, if you could know about gold, you could get a huge bonus, enough to give you a lifetime of worry-free life."
Knowing that Chen Jiaju didn't want to go, Uncle Biao could only tell him the advantages and let him choose.
"How much can the bonus be? One million or two million." Chen Jiaju shrugged. Now he is a rich man, and he doesn't even care about millions.
"One percent reward for the treasure." Uncle Biao held out a finger.
"One percent, so little." Chen Jiaju shrugged, expressing disdain.
"It's quite a lot. This is hundreds of tons of gold plus jewelry. One percent is at least 3 tons of gold. Calculated at the current gold price, it's almost 40 million US dollars."
Uncle Biao shook his head, "And it's not that there are no clues. The person who buried the gold was an adjutant named Hans, and he brought a reinforced platoon of soldiers to perform the mission.
But then he disappeared.
His granddaughter is still alive and living in Germany. After you meet the count, you can pay her a visit, maybe you can get some clues."
Forty million dollars in legitimate income, and there are some clues.
Chen Jiaju, who could not refuse the temptation of 40 million US dollars, said, "Uncle Biao, I can go to Germany to meet the count first, and we will wait until we meet whether we will accept the mission or not.
I just want to ask, am I the only one on this mission, and will Lei Weidong also participate?"
"The superiors originally wanted Lei Weidong to go, but they gave up later."
"Give up, why, this is 40 million US dollars, can Lei Weidong refuse this temptation?" The temptation of 40 million US dollars was too great, Chen Jiaju did not believe that Lei Weidong could refuse.
"If there is no danger, Lei Weidong may participate, but it is a desert, a desert where there is a narrow escape from death." Uncle Biao said helplessly, "Lei Weidong is a billionaire.
Forty million is not much, but for Lei Weidong it is only half a month’s income, and he can take risks for this little money.”
"Half a month's income is right." Chen Jiaju also smiled bitterly.
