Chapter 1382: Even if I get the treasure, I am still not happy

Xiao Peng saw a leather gun case on the table.

"Is it the Luger P-08 pistol?" Xiao Peng gave a direct answer.

Hua Chong was stunned: "Boss, how did you know?"

Xiao Peng sighed and said, "Do you take me for an idiot? Even if he was a civilian officer, he was at least a major general, and a member of the SS. Is it strange that he was equipped with a Luger pistol? Shooting a Luger P08 pistol is a compulsory course for all SS soldiers! You put a holster on the table, and the first thing people think of is the Luger pistol."

Kasim gave a thumbs-up: "Boss! That's amazing! Your reasoning ability is comparable to Sherlock Holmes'!"

Xiao Peng rolled his eyes at him and said, "I'm in a bad mood today. I don't have time to deal with a flatterer like you!"

Kasin said, "Boss, but your reasoning today is wrong. I can guarantee that you have never seen the gun inside."

Xiao Peng was stunned: "Isn't there a Luger pistol in there?"

Ka Xin said, "Boss, take it out and have a look yourself!"

Xiao Peng was confused. He put down his wine glass, picked up his holster, and opened it. His eyes lit up when he saw it. "Golden Ruger?"

The 'Golden Luger' is not made of pure gold, but is plated with a layer of gold. However, such a golden Luger pistol is extremely rare. Currently, there are only two types of 'Golden Luger' in the world: one is a copy made in later generations, and the other is a reward given by Germany during the war to people who have made great contributions.

This 'Golden Luger' definitely belongs to the latter, it is extremely rare!

After he took out the gun and looked at it carefully, he gasped: "Hiss."

"Boss, what's wrong?" Everyone asked puzzledly looking at Xiao Peng's expression. Xiao Peng didn't show any surprise when he saw that it was the 'Golden Ruger' just now. Why did he become like this after taking out the gun?

Xiao Peng gave the answer: "This is the 'artillery version' of the Luger P08."

"Artillery version?" Everyone was puzzled.

Xiao Peng pointed at the barrel of the pistol and said, "There are many different models of the Luger P08 pistol, such as the 'Standard', 'Navy', and 'Artillery' models. Aside from some minor differences, the easiest way to tell them apart is by their barrels. The barrel of the standard Luger pistol is 102mm long, while the 'Artillery' model has a barrel length of 203mm. This 'Artillery' model is extremely rare. Germany only produced 20,000 Artillery Edition Luger pistols, and even fewer still exist today. It is now known as the 'King of Guns'. As for the Artillery Edition Golden Luger, it is unheard of."

"Who is this big shot? How could he have something like this?" Kasim said in shock.

Xiao Peng held up his notebook and said, "His name is Albert Weidmann, the son of Alma Weidmann, a famous German architect and a senior official at the Todt Agency. Albert used his father's architectural theories to build 'aircraft towers' to protect German cities. These towers could defend both land and water, and were difficult to breach directly. They were a nightmare for the Allies during World War II. Later, he participated in the construction of the 'Atlantic Wall' project. I guess that's why he received the Artillery Gold Luger as a construction engineer officer."

During World War II, Germany had a famous construction engineering organization called the Todt Organization, which designed many famous military facilities.

For example, the Atlantic Wall stretched 2,700 kilometers from the northern coast of Norway to the borders of France and Spain. It was the longest national defense line in Europe and was used to prevent Allied landings on the European continent. The Normandy Line, where the Allies suffered greatly, was a section of the Atlantic Wall.

On their western border, there's the Siegfried Line. A perimeter known as the "West Wall" was built along the Netherlands, Belgium, and France, also a product of the Tod Agency. As a high-ranking official at the Tod Agency, it's no surprise that Albert Weidmann received a reward like the "Golden Luger."

"Boss, how much is this gun worth?" Hua Chong asked.

Xiao Peng said, "It's very valuable. Or you could say it's a 'priceless treasure'."

Hua Chong asked curiously, "Boss, I feel like even if this salvage is not the most valuable, it should be relatively valuable, right? Why don't you look happy at all?"

Xiao Peng took a sip of wine after hearing this. "You guys were so happy when you saw the gold just now, but I can't be happy at all... Do you know what that is?"

"Golden beans!" Hua Chong answered without hesitation, "Isn't that it?"

Xiao Peng shook his head. "No. Those are all gold teeth. Although Albert was a construction engineer, he was also an SS officer and carried out military missions. He was a loyal lackey of SS leader Himmler. He was stationed in Ukraine and the Galicia region of Eastern Europe. Later, he went to Auschwitz and participated in the 1943 Vatican mission."

"Hiss..." Everyone took a deep breath. The Vatican mission in 1943? Wasn't that just kidnapping the Pope?

At the time, Heinrich Himmler had two disguised SS troops sent to the Vatican, in which they attacked each other to create the appearance of war. Then, under the pretext of "protecting the Pope," they kidnapped Pope Pius XII and took him to Germany. They also stole many valuable items from the Vatican.

Damn, those oil paintings are mainly religious in content. Aren’t they the items that the Germans stole from the Vatican back then?

Hua Chong blinked. "Boss, you said those gold teeth are all gold teeth? Where did so many gold teeth come from? Isn't he a construction engineer? And he works as a dentist part-time? Why did German soldiers have such bad teeth back then that they needed so many gold teeth? Khedira, why are you looking at me like that?"

Khedira sighed and said, "Hua Chong, I really envy you. You are so simple!"

Hua Chong was confused: "Khedira, what do you mean?"

Khedira asked, "The boss just mentioned where Albert served?"

"Galicias, I know that. There are two Galicias in Europe, one in Spain and the other in Eastern Europe. But it's no longer called that in Eastern Europe!" Hua Chong said proudly, "How can a good employee of the boss not learn?"

Khedira said: "What else?"

"There's also Auschwitz in Poland. Auschwitz is a small town about 300 kilometers away from the Polish capital Warsaw... Oh my god, Auschwitz? Did Albert stay in a concentration camp? Then these gold teeth are..." Hua Chong was speechless.

Where did all these gold teeth come from?

At that time, when the Germans sent people to concentration camps, all their valuables would be taken away, such as gold, silver, jewelry, and watches. At that time, if people had gold dentures, they would all be pulled out directly! Entering a concentration camp basically meant stepping onto the threshold of hell.

How many gold teeth were there in those buckets? 100,000? 200,000? 300,000?

No wonder the boss is unhappy, these are lives at stake!
