Starting My Treasure Hunting In England
Chapter 874 Target
After walking out of the airport, Liang En and the others went straight to the parking lot they had made an appointment with Nelson. As soon as they entered the parking lot, they found Nelson standing in the parking lot wearing a tank top, beach shorts, and slippers.
"Hey, friend, it's only been a few days and you can't recognize me, right?" After seeing the surprise in Liang En and Jeanne's eyes, Nelson said in a relaxed tone.
"No, of course it's not that I don't recognize you." Then he stepped forward and hugged him and said, "It's just that you usually dress very - very formal. I have never seen you dress so casually. "
"Ah, of course I have to dress more formally in the UK. After all, in that kind of place I need to pay attention to my identity. At least I can't do whatever I want when I wear clothes." Nelson said after ending the hug.
"But after all, you wear what you wear somewhere. It would be too silly to wear that suit on such a tropical beach. On the contrary, wearing such clothes will make you look more gregarious."
In fact, just as Nelson said, after looking around, Liang En found that the people around him were dressed very casually, and people like them wearing shirts and trousers were considered serious.
So after entering the hotel room, they quickly changed into lighter and more relaxed clothes so as to blend in with the surrounding environment as much as possible instead of looking out of place.
Liang En's clothes were very simple, just a pair of baggy beach pants and a T-shirt, while Joan of Arc chose a pair of medium pants and a short-sleeved shirt.
"I originally thought you would choose that dress and straw hat." Liang En asked curiously after looking at Jeanne who had changed her clothes and came out. "After all, that dress is quite beautiful."
"I also think that dress is beautiful, but this place is a bit unfamiliar now, so I am more accustomed to wearing a set of clothes that are convenient for movement, so that I can feel more comfortable." Joan replied.
As a soldier who has experienced cruel battlefields, although Joan of Arc is no different from an ordinary girl most of the time, sometimes she still shows a side that is different from normal people.
For example, in her daily life, she is always wary of the surrounding environment, and occasionally gives people the feeling of being ready to jump up and fight at any time.
But compared to those who have obvious sequelae of war, Joan of Arc controls her actions through certain means, especially her firm will, so her abnormal side is almost invisible in daily life.
So for most people, they at most think that Joan of Arc may be a little wary, but basically they can't see the side of Joan of Arc as a warrior.
Because it was already late when the day arrived, after having dinner and chatting, Liang En and the others returned to their rooms with the information Nelson gave them.
This information is closely related to their goal. According to the information, their goal this time is part of the wealth transferred by the Dutch during World War II.
In theory, the wealth should have been shipped to Australia and then returned to the Netherlands after the war. But the actual situation is that he disappeared inexplicably.
Those treasures had purchased insurance back then, and the insurance company paid compensation after the goods were lost, so the ownership of this missing wealth naturally belonged to the insurance company.
As time changed, the insurance company also underwent many changes, and among these changes, the ownership of some things changed, and the ownership of this treasure was transferred to Nelson's hands.
After the Pearl Harbor incident in history, the Japanese quickly invaded Southeast Asia to obtain various raw materials needed for their war machine, such as tin, oil, rubber, etc.
This was actually an important inducement for Japan to re-choose a southward route after realizing that its original plan to go north failed after the Zhanggufeng and Nomenkan Incidents, and even the war.
There is no doubt that the beginning of this adventure was very successful. At least from now on, the Japanese invaders occupied the entire Southeast Asia in a short period of time and gained a lot of wealth.
Of course, these resources did not play much role in the subsequent war, because the Japanese navy's overall misjudgment resulted in their transportation lines being cut off by the U.S. Navy, and they were unable to use the resources while guarding the source of the resources.
However, at the beginning, this group of Japanese devils successfully obtained a large amount of resources. After all, the wealth accumulated by this group of colonists over hundreds of years was an astronomical figure. Even just a part of it was enough for this group of Japanese devils. The bowl is full.
Yes, not all. After all, no matter how fast the group of devils move, they cannot occupy the entire Southeast Asia in an instant, and this period of time is enough for some people to retreat with supplies.
However, considering the tight transportation capacity at the time and the extremely high attack speed of the Japanese, the things that could be transported were often small but high value.
In addition, the colonists hid a large amount of wealth during the emergency, and a large part of this wealth was still not found even after the war ended.
This is not to say that the colonists were unyielding in the face of torture by the Japanese, but that many people disappeared as they ran away, and their wealth also disappeared into history. middle.
Now Nelson told Liang En that what he wanted to search for was a very small part of the lost treasure: part of the wealth that had been transferred from several museums in Batavia.
The Japanese launched a full-scale attack almost on the same day as the Pearl Harbor incident. The Dutch Southeast Asian colonies at that time immediately realized that they could not hold their territory, so they launched a large-scale evacuation work.
Part of the museum collection was transported on a ship during this evacuation, and then tried to go to Australia, which was considered safer at the time. Unfortunately, the ship lost contact after setting off from the port.
Yes, contact was completely lost. Australia has not been able to wait for news about this ship, and then because the ship's route became a war zone, there was no way to conduct a search that year.
After the war, when the Dutch wanted to recover their wealth, they discovered that the Japanese in Southeast Asia had no idea where the wealth was hidden.
The reason for this problem is also very simple: the cruel war caused more than one wave of Japanese troops stationed in Nanyang. Almost all of the first batch of elite troops who invaded Nanyang died on Guadalcanal or Port Mozbil.
Although some people suspected that the ship was sunk by a Japanese submarine, because the Japanese destroyed a large amount of data at the end of World War II, and their navy suffered heavy losses, they could not find the location of the target at all.
Therefore, after obtaining the ownership of the goods from the insurance company, he naturally found Liang En, because in his impression, Liang En was the only one who was the best at this type of work.
"He is quite discerning and knows that only you can do this." After confirming what the other party asked Liang En to do this time, Joan of Arc commented. "It's just that what I'm more interested in now is, what kind of reward does he plan to pay to get your help?"
