War Photographer's Notebook

On the coast of Enderby, Antarctica, two BV206 crawler transport vehicles slowly drove along the springboard into the brightly lit cabin under the gaze of many cameras.

As the heavy hatch of the ship's cabin slowly closed, the schoolmates or brothers-in-law who were holding cameras also put away their machines and notified the sailors through the intercom to reopen the hatch and walked in together.

Not far away, Apolly, who was carrying a large incubator in his hand, shook hands with the driver of the scientific research station who came to pick up the vehicle. "Before you came, I had already inspected the transport vehicle and cleaned the living cabin. .

In addition, I also left some gifts for you in the cargo hold. I hope you can get through this winter as soon as possible. "

"Thank you, Comrade Ivan." The driver who came to pick up the car said solemnly.

"Comrade?" Apolly shook his head.

"Although you are wearing a mask, goggles and hat, you have a strong Soviet flavor about you, a familiar but long-lost temperament."

The driver, who was about the same age as April, laughed and said, "So I think I can call you gay."

"Thank you, thank you, comrade."

Apolly shook hands with the other party again, carried the heavy incubator, and simply turned around and walked towards the brightly lit cabin.

Soon after, the polar transport ship closed its hatch. Under the gaze of the drivers of the two DT10 transport vehicles, it slowly left the fragmented ice and drove towards them pushed by the cold wind. direction from which it came.

Time flies to Children's Day, and a paid documentary called "The Treasure of Antarctica" was released through the social platforms of Time Film Studio and Time Studio.

Thanks to the previous clips full of conspiracy atmosphere and the publicity promoted by the two Hela organizations, light and dark, this documentary has attracted the attention of countless treasure hunters.

Especially at the beginning of the documentary, the heroic words spoken by Wei Ran, who was taking a selfie with his mobile phone, and the shaking camera and even the huge IL-76 transport plane, made the viewers even more sure that the well-known historian may have really found the answer to Najib's death. treasure.

As the progress bar progressed, they also saw footage of Weiran being hijacked in the documentary.

However, what made them feel bad was that after the hijacking was over, the robbers bumped fists with Wei Ran's bodyguards, and then they even used potions to wipe off the NaCl tattoos on their hands in front of the camera. I took another hilarious photo with Wei Ran!

Something seems wrong!

These brain-congested moviegoers belatedly realized something. Especially after this shot, they actually saw in the documentary the "wonderful comments" on the Internet about the hijacking video that were full of conspiracies and conjectures!

Almost immediately after the scene of "well-known historian Victor being threatened by Nazi remnants", lies were exposed one after another by this documentary, especially in the two cars in the storyboard, the radio conversation between Weiran and Taxi, It also makes more and more moviegoers start to think about whether there is a crispy treasure.

And in the end, when the body mentioned in the leaked call recording was discovered, the coins they found on the body almost gave everyone a loud slap in the face and an even louder answer.

In particular, at the end of this documentary, there is a screenshot of an online vote on whether the Nazi treasure should be returned to the Jews.

And at the end of this screenshot, the bright red, huge and uninhibited German word "Jawohl!"

"I'm afraid no one thought that this slap would eventually slap the Jewish people in the face."

At Ushuaia Airport, just as the documentary was being released, Suisui was sighing in the noise-cancelling communication earphones of the Il-76 transport plane that was already preparing to taxi.

This documentary had already been edited overtime when Wei Ran and others started their return journey, and everything was in compliance with director Suisui's requirements of "big-budget, small-scale production", and a considerable number of self-portrait clips were deliberately retained to add to the documentary. Realism.

“All original sin is greed”

After Wei Ran finished speaking, he couldn't help but sneeze. While taking the tissue from Suisui and wiping his nose, he didn't forget to ask, "Ania, is it okay to leave the body to those people?"

"Do not worry"

Ania, who was across the street from Suisui, was munching on ice cream and said, "Those 'kidnappers' are originally from Argentina. They will hand over the body you brought back to the authorities and help find his family."

"That's good"

Wei Ran was relieved on the face, but secretly sighing in his heart. The history of Major Schubert, Hanno and others had been concealed by him and the Nazi remnants in an almost tacit agreement.

And that documentary that casually dresses up history beyond recognition is like an ugly comedy, playing with all the greedy hearts.

"Now it is the turn of the electrician who is still in Antarctica to play his cards," Suisui said proudly, "now he has no way out."

"What will he do?" Wei Ran, who had a cold, asked knowingly.

"No matter how he proves it now, there is no way to overturn the conclusion drawn in our documentary."

Suisui said with a smile, "No matter what he wants to prove, he must first find a way to deny our documentary. Just watch, maybe Mr. Charlotte will receive a call from the other party after our plane lands.

Now no one cares who discovered the body first, but everyone who tries to use that body to continue weaving conspiracies and nabbing treasures will be mercilessly laughed at. "

At this point, the expression on Suisui's face became more and more proud, "Compared to the insignificant electrician, I'm more curious about how those Jews will end up this time."

"Aphroel, do we really not need to save some face for the Jews?"

In the French sentence spoken by Kou Kou, who was sitting on the other side of Suisui, the word "face" was even said in Chinese.

"Why?" Suisui asked after listening to Wei Ran's translation.

"Isn't it said that the Jews are all shrewd businessmen?" Will they retaliate against us for being humiliated? I mean retaliate against us in business.

"them?"

Suisui was particularly confident and snorted disdainfully, "Smartness is not their strength, shamelessness is. So don't worry, they don't care about face at all, so naturally they won't retaliate.

The most important thing is that although they were embarrassed by the online vote, they were definitely happy to see the final effect of the documentary. "

"Tell me why?"

The person who asked why was not Kouko who was listening to Anfisa's translation, but teacher Anna who was sitting with Apolly in the back row.

"intuition"

Suisui thought for a while and explained, "Nazi worship is almost synonymous with oil return. Those Jews definitely don't want to see Nazi worship, and those Jews definitely don't want to see the emergence of Nazi worship that is not under their control. "

"You are such a talented girl," Anna praised with a smile.

"I also think I have a talent for making movies."

Suisui became more and more proud, and by the way, she didn't forget to give some snacks to Anna and April, who was still wearing a mask and hat next to her.

Almost as soon as the plane landed in El Salvador to refuel and prepare to cross the Atlantic, the electrician took the initiative to contact Charlotte as Weihan expected - asking for forgiveness for his involvement in instigating Matthew's kidnapping. Charlotte certainly doesn't need Sui Sui to teach her how to do things. However, Aniya received unexpected news - the family of the body had been found.

"Does he have any family members still alive?" Suisui curiously asked Wei Ran a question that Wei Ran was not curious about at all.

"His sister's son is still alive"

Ania put away the satellite phone and explained, "It is said that the other party is also a military collector. After watching our documentary, he immediately recognized that it was his long-lost Uncle Hans."

After a pause, Aniya continued, "According to him, his Uncle Hans set out for the Antarctic expedition in 1965, but he lost contact not long after arriving in Antarctica. He was very grateful to our documentary. Shattered his illusions about Antarctic treasures, and grateful to Victor for finding his missing story.”

"so what?"

Wei Ran asked absentmindedly, but he was secretly wondering about the origin of the corpse's son.

"So the other party wants to thank you and meet you," Aniya continued.

"Meet me?" Wei Ran raised his eyebrows, subconsciously wanting to refuse.

"The other party also said that he hoped to exchange some military collections for his uncle's belongings."

As Aniya said this, she took out her phone and swiped it around before handing it to Wei Ran, "This is the exchange chip offered by the other party."

"This is."

Wei Ran's eyes widened the moment he saw the photo. This photo was full of swords, all kinds of swords used by Germany in World War II!

In the collection world, such a comprehensive collection has a unique title - "Berlin Guard of Honor".

Obviously, it is not an easy task to put together a set of Berlin honor guards, but Aniya said something else that made Wei Ran's heart beat faster, "The other party said that he is willing to exchange all the swords in the photo for him." The sword and other relics left by my uncle."

"What did you say?"

Wei Ran raised his head in astonishment, and then looked at the photo on his phone again. At the same time, he secretly murmured in his heart. Sure enough, if he wanted to get these things together, he would have to find the "old people" in Najib.

"That's right"

Aniya spread her hands, "And in order to show sincerity, the other party is willing to take those things to Kazan to exchange and communicate with you in person."

this.

Wei Ran hesitated for a moment, then thought about his apparent persona, and then nodded in agreement, "I have no reason to refuse, so let's meet in Kazan. In addition, I hope... I hope that our The filming team shot a video of him telling the story of his uncle, Mr. Hans, as part of the documentary."

"Great job" Suisui gave a thumbs up to the side.

"I'll let them convey your meaning to you," Aniya said, switching to English and communicating a few words on the satellite phone that was still hanging up before hanging up.

Is it possible that it still attracted the attention of the remnants of Natsuki? Wei Ran secretly wondered what the hell the sufferer, who was highly suspected of being a remnant of Nachi, was holding back in wanting to meet him.

"Guess how much money our documentary made while we were flying in the sky?"

Suisui waited for Mr. Charlotte to also hang up the phone, and then asked the Katenka sisters to help her translate this appetizing sentence into Italian and French.

"How much?" Tassie asked first.

"Not only did we equalize all our expenses, but we also made an additional profit of 160 million euros, and the profit figures have continued to rise."

Suisui said with a smile, "A paid broadcast costs 10 euros. It is easy to calculate how many people have watched our documentary. Friends, this is the biggest treasure of Antarctica."

"In the next at least half a century, anyone who mentions the Antarctic treasures will probably be regarded as an idiot."

Tassie, who had a dull look on her face, said nonchalantly, but she didn't even notice the proud and proud expression on Monica's face next to her.

In the past half month, although Weiran, Taxi and others were exploring and filming in the Antarctic continent, she and her team were not idle either.

Not to mention anything else, she and her online friends contributed a considerable amount of "praising power" to the vote on whether to return the Nazi treasure to the Jews.

"Everyone, please keep working hard!"

Suisui said with a smile, "When we return to Kazan, we will hold a spoils-sharing conference!"

Before this proposal could be translated into Italian and French, the senior students and brothers-in-law who followed the filming all started cheering.

Following the translation, even Charlotte showed an expression of relaxation and anticipation. His whole person seemed to be infected, as if he was several years younger.

After a short stay, the transport plane carried them across the Atlantic Ocean safely and smoothly, and then refueled in Dakar and Egypt in an almost leapfrog manner. Finally, on June 3, it flew safely and smoothly to Qatar. mountain airport.

"Chan Ning, please, Comrade Chan Ning, why are you here to pick us up at the airport?"

After Wei Ran was slightly surprised, he waved and said hello to Comrade Chan Ning who was standing at the pick-up port.

"Comrade Weiran"

Channing said hello in fairly decent Chinese, and after listening to Marta's translation, he immediately said in English, "I'm here to return that precious prototype gun to you. It has been auctioned. Mission accomplished.

To be honest, when you released the photo of the corpse, I had already rushed to Kazan and waited for you to come back. "

"You're not here for Nazo's treasure in Antarctica, are you?"

Wei Ran waited for Marta to finish translating, then smiled and said, "I guess you must have watched the documentary starring me, so I'm sorry, Antarctic Roots."

"Come on, Comrade Wei Ran"

Channing sneered, "I'm not one of those greedy and stupid Jews, let alone an adolescent child. How could I believe such absurd stories as there are Nazi treasures in Antarctica."

"You were not so sure a few days ago."

A "knowledgeable little bastard" who also came to pick up the plane and acted as a translator for Channing curled his lips and exposed Channing's background in Russian, "No, Mr. Victor, he kept clamoring for it before watching the documentary. I'm pre-ordering some missing Natsu treasures from your hands.

And he was accompanied by a short Asian man with yellow skin. These days, he had looked at almost every old photo in the library carefully more than once. "

Short Asian? Asians interested in old photos?

Wei Ran nodded calmly, but began to wonder in his heart whether Comrade Chan Ning had any other purposes.
