Treasure hunt begins in England

Chapter 398 Carriage
Judging from the results of previous investigations, the tunnel where Liang En and the others are now was built in two stages. The first stage was during World War I, but because the Austro-Hungarian Empire had fallen into decline at that time, this huge project was abandoned. give up.

However, before World War II, after the merger of Germany and Austria, Austria, as a part of Germany, carried out infrastructure construction similar to that of Germany itself, and the internal fortifications of this mountain were also built in that era.

The entire underground fortification has three separate tunnels, two of which hide a large number of very messy-looking carriages, both new and old, with mixed cargo and passengers.

The front of the third tunnel is filled with some maintenance tools, and the back is a large pile of boxes, most of which have been opened. Liang En looked at one or two boxes and found that there were some good quality items inside. furniture.

Apparently, this place is indeed, as the previous forest ranger said, a carriage transformation factory. The German military used this place to refit the confiscated civilian train carriages into what the government and the military needed.

That's why the group of American soldiers left with only a few pistols and a few daggers when they came, because there were really not many things worth taking away in this modification factory.

Although the furniture in the box looks quite high-end, for ordinary soldiers, such large-scale and low-priced items are really not within the scope of loot collection.

"I thought I could find the golden train." Just as he was changing the oxygen cylinder and preparing more responsive equipment, Fan Meng said with a smile, "Just take anything from the train and you can make a fortune. "

The rumors about the Spicy Gold Train in this world can be said to be well-known. According to the legend, in the spring of 1945, when the Soviet Red Army was about to encircle the eastern German city of Breslau (now Wroclaw, Poland), Spicy Crisp would exist in the local The gold and all other treasures were loaded onto a train heading southwest into the depths of Germany.

After all, the German army was defeated at that time, especially border cities like Breslau would definitely not be able to hold on, and anything left would be cheaper for the Poles, so of course they would do everything possible to transport things to the depths of the mainland.

However, no one knows the destination of that golden train. It is the same in this world and in Liang En's previous world. Anyway, the train disappeared, and countless treasure hunters have been looking for it for decades without finding it. Come back with success.

Therefore, after learning that there is a train in this place, both Fan Meng and Joan of Arc's first reaction was to think in the direction of the golden train back then, but unfortunately it should not be the case now.

In fact, they had this kind of hunch during the search project just now, because if there is really a car of treasures, there should be some defensive facilities inside, and it will not be as safe as it is now.

After changing the oxygen cylinders, the two entered the tunnel again, but this time after making sure it was safe, they first observed from the truck compartments that were close to the entrance.

"Another empty one." Fan Meng sighed. It was 15 minutes after they came to the tunnel, they opened the door of the seventh truck, only to find that it was empty like the six trucks ahead.

"Since it's the compartment for renovation, it's normal that it's empty inside." Liang En smiled and shook his head, "But then again, the old furniture in the pile of boxes would be worth the fare if dug up and sold. "

Although the unit price of the furniture that looks like the early 20th century is not too high because it is a mass product, the problem is that there are hundreds of boxes behind it, and if they add up, they can be sold for a fortune.

By the time the oxygen tank was replaced for the second time, Liang En and the others had already completed the inspection of all the truck compartments. It wasn't that they were quick and quick, but that the doors of those truck compartments were not locked. All empty.

"Not even a small silver coin." When he ran outside to change the oxygen cylinder again, Fan Meng looked helpless, "I can only see if I can find more things in the compartments of those buses."

Unlike those trucks that were placed directly in the tunnel, these passenger cars were covered with a layer of oil, only the oilcloth on the door was obviously opened, judging from the scratches on the knives, it is likely that the group of American soldiers did it. things.

"It's a half-construction project inside." Fan Meng complained after walking into a carriage and looking at it. After hearing this sentence, Liang En also got into the car, and found that there were several rows of steel frame beds fixed on the floor of the carriage. There are also some tools and parts on the ground.

Judging from the situation in the carriage, this carriage should have been abandoned during the process of being converted into a troop carriage or a medical carriage. stay here.

According to the results of previous inspections of the tunnel, the people working here are civilians or militiamen, and there are not many professional soldiers.Therefore, after hearing the German surrender order, it is possible to run home immediately without any finishing work.

"These old tools should be able to sell for some money." Looking at the pliers, hammers, welding torches and other things that were basically preserved due to the environment in the tunnel, Liang En shook his head, and then walked to the bathroom at the end of the carriage.

Under normal circumstances, when this kind of passenger carriage is refitted, all the original furniture, decorations and other accessories in the carriage will be removed, and then a uniform army paint color will be painted on the outside.

But there is one place that will not be refitted on a large scale, and that is the bathroom in the car, because it will be very troublesome to modify the bathroom, and it will not affect the use of the car if it is not changed. .

That's why Liang En went straight to the bathroom as soon as he got into the car, because he could roughly judge the grade of the car through the bathroom on the car.

However, when Liang En opened the door of the train bathroom and looked inside, what he saw was beyond his imagination: the white ceramic toilet and the gold-plated towel rack in the bathroom showed an unusual sight.

Obviously, these things should not appear on ordinary trains. If they are connected with the luxurious furniture in the previous boxes, it can be judged that these carriages are likely to come from a certain luxury train.

Before World War II, the aviation industry was not developed, and road traffic was not very comfortable to ride due to infrastructure construction and vehicle level restrictions.

Therefore, those rich people have only two choices when they travel far away. They can either take a cruise ship or take a train. Especially when going to inland areas, the train is naturally the first choice, so a series of luxurious trains have emerged as the times require.

After half an hour of quick inspection, Liang En and the others were able to confirm that these passenger trains were all luxury trains, including sleeping cars, dining cars and staff cars.

And when the two people checked to the deepest part of the tunnel, they found a car that was only half painted, and a dark blue paint was exposed on the part of the car that was not covered by gray paint, and golden paint was used on the windows. It says - GRANDS EXPRESS EUROPEENS
