Chapter 201 Doubts

Fang Lang smiled when he heard Qi Qingshan's words. In fact, he had thought of this plan a long time ago.

But after repeated consideration, he finally rejected it.

First of all, he did not have many people, only one guard platoon of about thirty people. He did not dare to act rashly without knowing how many things were inside. If he was discovered, he would not be able to take anything out.

Secondly, if the things are in his hands, there is only one way for him to ship them out, which is air transportation.

But judging from what Fang Lang encountered when he first entered France, the French were also looking for treasures in their territory, so it was impossible for him to transport them away easily. If things went wrong, it might be a waste of time.

Secondly, if he robbed the treasure in advance, these Germans might just give up and reveal the news to the French occupation forces, and Fang Lang would have no chance to transport the wealth away.

"You just said that he was carrying some valuables to Switzerland, right? Have we investigated what he did in Switzerland?"

Fang Lang judged that the other party went to Switzerland alone in order to transfer wealth.

Put yourself in Fang Lang's shoes. If he knew the secret of this wealth, he would either hide it and not touch it, and wait until the storm has passed before making a long-term plan.

...

...

Now that they are touching it, it means that they are ready to activate it. No matter what its purpose is, it cannot be used in Germany.

Because, if I take out a piece of gold in Germany now and use it, it would unintentionally tell everyone that I have Nazi treasure in my hands.

Then he can forget about using it, but it would be different if he could transfer it to Switzerland.

Swiss banks are notoriously money-conscious and not people-conscious. Even if they know that your wealth comes from Nazi treasures, they will not make it public as long as you can deposit it in their bank.

At most, they will exchange it for you in the corresponding currency without paying you any interest. In any case, the Swiss bank will not lose money.

Another great benefit of depositing money in a Swiss bank is that it can ensure your own safety.

Because now Swiss banks only recognize depositors themselves. If you want to withdraw funds from your account, you must do it in person with your own reserved credentials and password.

Even if someone catches you and wants to get this wealth, they dare not harm you, because only you can take it out. If you die, this wealth will be taken away by the Swiss bank.

Therefore, Fang Lang judged that the destination of this wealth must be Switzerland. What Fang Lang was curious about was how the other party could ensure that the wealth could be transported safely over the distance of more than 200 kilometers, and how they could ensure that it could get out of the German border.

"We don't know exactly what they did in Switzerland yet. We have to wait until our people come back to find out. Now we only know that they entered Schaffhausen, Switzerland."

"When exactly was the news released?"

"We have two people following him. Every day we receive a telegram informing us of the situation. The latest news was from yesterday. Fortunately, we have not received any news for today."

After hearing Qi Qingshan's words, Fang Lang fell into deep thought. For some reason, he always felt that everything seemed to be going too smoothly.

Fang Lang believed that his people had the ability to conduct a raid indoors and capture the Gestapo named Paul in one fell swoop.

However, now his soldiers were able to track a Gestapo to Switzerland without the other party noticing, and new intelligence was received every day. This made Fang Lang feel a little unbelievable.

The Gestapo are not simple Marines. These guys are all engaged in intelligence work and are often specially trained agents. Tracking and counter-tracking are their most basic abilities.

He was actually caught up by his own Marines who had only received basic battlefield reconnaissance, and remained undiscovered. This was definitely not right.

However, since the other party has not taken any action, there must be other purposes.

"Do you think it would be so easy for us to track a Gestapo?"

Qi Qingshan was stunned by Fang Lang's question. He looked at Fang Lang with a strange expression and said:

"Our people have all been professionally trained. It's not easy to be discovered if we want to track someone."

In fact, this cannot be blamed on Qi Qingshan. After all, he was born as an expeditionary army soldier and had no contact with the intelligence front. He was not baptized by various spy dramas and novels like Fang Lang, and did not understand what the identity of a Gestapo meant.

In his mind, the training that soldiers receive is comprehensive and professional, and he does not feel that he is inferior to others.

However, Fang Lang still wanted to hear other people's opinions. After all, three heads are better than one!

"Tell me, if, I mean if, Paul knew that our people were following him, and he discovered it, but he pretended to know nothing, what do you think was the reason?"

"Ah? You mean this Paul might have discovered our people?"

After hearing Fang Lang's words, Qi Qingshan also fell into deep thought. After a long while, he said:

"If that's the case, then the other party must be trying to mislead us. Let us follow his train of thought. But, that's not right! If it's true as you said, he has discovered us, how could he let us find his treasure hiding place!

Aren't you afraid that we might just rob you?"

"Yes! This is what I find strange. Even if we rob this batch of wealth directly, they are sure that we can't transport it out, and they will also lose this wealth!

Why would they let us find the treasure? Are you sure we found the real treasure? Have we gone in to check it out?

Qi Qingshan was obviously also confused by Fang Lang. He didn't know why Fang Lang felt that the other party had actually discovered their tracking a long time ago. If he had discovered their whereabouts and continued to pretend not to know, many things would be inexplicable.

“They went in empty-handed and came out with backpacks on their backs. The shape and weight of the objects in the backpacks led our people to believe that they were valuables.

However, if we go in and confirm, we don’t have it, so we don’t dare to take action easily.

We were afraid that they might have left some hidden signs and discovered we had moved there, which would arouse their suspicion, so we didn’t dare to go in and check.”

Fang Lang approved of Qi Qingshan's caution. After all, it was hard to say whether the other party had really discovered that they were being followed. If the other party was just a civilian, it was very likely that he had not discovered that they were being followed.

"That place has always been under our surveillance, right?"

"Yes, our people have been taking turns to monitor this and that place from a distance, and have not found anything unusual in the past few days."

Some things are easy to say when you don't doubt them, but once you start to doubt them, you feel that everything is wrong.

As people often say, when you ask the melon seller whether the melon is ripe or not, it doesn’t matter whether the melon is ripe or not, because in your heart you have already determined that the melon is unripe.

Fang Lang is in the same situation now. When he starts to suspect that something is wrong with this matter, he feels that it is wrong no matter how he thinks about it. However, he cannot find out what is wrong for the time being. This makes him feel uncomfortable all over. After thinking for a long time, he said:

"What about the guy named Leo with him? Is there anything unusual?"

"This guy is quite normal, hiding in the cabin in the woods without making any noise.

On the contrary, those who launched the attack outside the hotel are now looking for trucks in the market. These guys don't know how to restrain their actions.

I'm worried that even the French, no matter how slow they are, will find something unusual. If they find them and find the treasure from them, we won't be able to survive."

"You said they were looking for a truck?"

"Yes."

"So they are responsible for transporting something, right?"

"I think they should be responsible for transporting this treasure."

At this time, Fang Lang found it more and more interesting. Although Fang Lang had only met this guy named Paul once, no matter how he looked at it, Fang Lang felt that he was not a simple character.

But this extraordinary guy just found such a group of simple people to help him transport the treasure. No matter how he looked at it, Fang Lang felt that this matter was suspicious.

"Then let our people remind them to be careful and not let the French find out."

Fang Lang said with a smile on his face.

"Ah! We remind them, how can we remind them? We can't just write a letter to tell them!"

"You want me to teach you this? As long as we don't reveal our identities, you can use whatever method you want."

Fang Lang was very annoyed by Qi Qingshan's questions. If he had to ask himself everything, then he, as the adjutant, would never grow.

Hearing Fang Lang getting angry, Qi Qingshan hurriedly said:

"Yes, sir, I'll find a way to remind them right away.

However, if we attract their attention, it will be difficult for us to track them. What if we lose them?"

"It doesn't matter. We just need to guard the treasure place."

Seeing that Fang Lang already had an idea, Qi Qingshan didn't say anything more, but nodded in agreement silently.

"If we can't figure it out, then let's not think about it anymore. The most important person is still that guy named Paul. We just need to keep a close eye on him no matter what.

Since they are not in a hurry, we don't have to rush either. Please help me make an appointment with Mayor Jonas. I want to visit the machine tool factory in Stuttgart tomorrow morning."

Fang Lang understood that as long as the guy named Paul didn't come back, these people would definitely not take any action. Instead of waiting here, it would be better to settle the machine tool industry matters according to the plan first.

"Okay, boss. I'll contact Mayor Jonas right away."

After a long flight, Fang Lang felt a little tired, so he didn't say anything more to Qi Qingshan and went to rest early in the hotel room.

The next morning, Mayor Jonas arrived at the hotel early.

"Fang, nice to see you again."

This time, Mayor Jonas was very enthusiastic towards Fang Lang and even wanted to hug him like the Brazilians.

Fang Lang did not refuse and hugged him warmly.

"Mr. Mayor, I'm glad to see you again too. Have you had breakfast? If not, let's eat and talk together."

The two of them went straight to the hotel restaurant for breakfast, just like old friends.

"Fang, your people told me that you are planning to inspect our machine tool industry, right?"

"Yes, machine tools are the mother of industry, so I want to bring two machine tool companies back from Germany so that Brazil can also have the ability to independently manufacture industrial machine tools."

After hearing Fang Lang's words, Jonas said with some hesitation:

“Fang, first of all, I want to thank you for your recognition of our German industrial machine tool companies, but now our machine tool industry is restricted by the Potsdam Declaration.

Most of the equipment has been dismantled, and the remaining equipment is now being used under the supervision of the French. Our machine tool factory is now using the remaining equipment to produce the machine tools they need for the French every day in exchange for funds to support the lives of the workers. "
