Easy Tycoon

Chapter 1004 Schroeder's Suggestion
Morris and the others sat scattered in the bar with winking eyes, leaving the boss and his wife on the bar.

After the bar owner delivered the wine ordered by Morris and the others to the bartender, he was satisfied and poured two glasses of wine for Yang Jing and Ge Ge himself, pushed them in front of them, and then grabbed a bottle of ice cream by himself. Beer poured himself a glass, and asked with a smile: "Are you from China?"

Yang Jing smiled and gave the bar owner a thumbs up, "Your eyesight is really good, we are indeed from Huaxia. But you are the first person who can tell that we are from Huaxia at a glance. .”

The bar owner shrugged his shoulders, "It's nothing. Our place is a relatively remote place. Although few Chinese people came here before, we can still see more than ten Chinese people every year in recent years. In fact, you Chinese people and Japanese There are still many differences between myself and Koreans. For example, you Chinese people are generally more generous, and your eyes are usually very straight, which makes people feel very comfortable. Japanese people are always evasive when looking at people. , and they can’t help bowing when they meet people, as if everyone in the world is their elders. As for Koreans, it’s easier to recognize them, they all have single eyelids.”

Although the owner of the bar didn't speak fluent English, he still made Yang Jing and Gege laugh out loud.

The owner of this bar is really a wonderful person, what he said is too incisive.

Seeing the young couple laughing heartily, the bar owner happily took a big gulp of beer and said with a smile, "I'm Schroeder Stadler. Nice to meet you. Oh, you can call me Schroeder."

"We are also very happy to meet you. I am Albert Yang, and this is my new wife, Sophia Bai. Schroeder, I have to say that your wine here is really delicious."

Yang Jing's praise made the bar owner even happier.

Grid asked curiously: "Schroeder, from your name, you don't seem to be Italian."

"That's right, I'm not Italian, I'm an Austrian from the north. This used to belong to Austria. My ancestors have been living here. It's just that after World War II, countries re-planned their borders. I don't know how to make it here. This is a very angry thing. In fact, not only Venosta, but even Resia in the north has always been an Austrian place, and most of the residents living here are Austrians."

Yang Jing shrugged his shoulders and said, "There's really no way around this. We ordinary people can only bow our heads in front of those damned politics. Come on, Schroeder, let's have a drink for that damned politics."

"Well, respect to those bloody politics!"

Schroeder drank a large glass of one liter of beer in two gulps. It can be seen that this guy has a good drinking capacity.

After Schroeder filled Yang Jing and Gege's wine again, he filled himself again, and said with a smile: "My wife went out to her aunt's house early this morning, so I can sneak a drink or two."

Smiling, Yang Jing smiled wryly.

"Schroeder, the scenery here is very nice, but why are there not many tourists?"

Schroeder shook his head helplessly and said: "Isn't it all because of those damn Italians? There are too many reasons for this kind of thing, and I don't know where to explain it to you. All in all, it is you The sentence just now can sum up all the reasons, and it’s all about those damn politics.”

Seeing that the bar owner was about to turn the building, Gege immediately changed the subject with a wink, "Schroeder, we saw that there was a church bell tower in this lake before, this is really a puzzling thing Can you tell us something about it?"

"Ha, so you don't know the origin of this lake." Schroeder naturally followed Gege's question and changed the subject, "Actually, this lake has another name, Bell Tower Lake, because the reservoir When the water was stored, Venosta was completely submerged, but at that time a church in Venosta was located at a relatively high position, and the height of the bell tower was not short, so the water submerged all other buildings in the village , only half of the bell tower of this church is exposed above the water surface, and then it forms a unique view in the world. But thanks to the half of the bell tower above the water, it attracts many tourists every year. We in Venosta and Resia in the north can live on these tourists."

After a pause, Schroeder sighed helplessly, and then continued: "It has to be said that this is a tragedy. I heard my grandfather talk about the past, um, it was before the reservoir was filled. At that time, Venosta was a quiet and peaceful village. Although the Adige River, which just flowed down from the snow mountain in the east, was not large, it was enough for the residents living in this valley to get enough water. The source of water, our ancestors farmed here, although life was not rich, but peaceful and quiet.”

"Later, the Germans occupied the whole of Austria. The valley we are in is the most convenient mountain passage to Italy, so it was occupied by the Germans for a long time, but even at that time, The Germans didn't make a big fuss about us either."

Yang Jing pretended to be surprised and interjected at the right time and asked, "Has this place been occupied by the Germans before?"

"Of course, during World War II, the whole of Austria was occupied by the Germans. How could we escape here? And as I said just now, this is the most important passage from Austria to Italy in the Alps. The Germans also How could it be possible to let it go here?"

Schroeder shook his head and said: "We Austrians don't have the determination to break the boat like the Swiss next door, so Austria was annexed by the Germans back then. Although we Austria and Switzerland have never dealt with each other, we have to say that the Swiss did it back then. It’s really good. In order to prevent the German army from invading Switzerland, Switzerland, which had only 400 million people, mobilized an army of up to 85 people, and the terrain of Switzerland is indeed not suitable for the deployment of German mechanized troops. In addition, Switzerland At that time, the Germans deployed a large number of landmines and ammunition on the Swiss-Australian border and the Rhine defense line, and even claimed that they would blow up all the bridges on the Rhine, which frightened Hitler."

Finally, Schroeder sighed again, "Why didn't we have such a tough leader at the time?"

Gege said quietly, "If you had resisted like the Swiss at that time, maybe this place would not have existed. When I was studying history, I remembered that when Hitler was about to annex Austria, Mosarini seemed to have sent several A division is hoarding on the Italian-Austrian border."

Schroeder nodded helplessly, and finally could only curse in a low voice: "Damn Hitler, damn Mosarini."

Yang Jing continued to pretend to be curious and asked: "Did the Germans treat you locals well when they were here?"

Schroeder shook his head, then nodded again, "How should I put it? I wasn't born at that time. But I heard my grandpa talk about those days countless times. My grandpa once told me , because it is located at an important point. In order to better connect with the Italians, the Germans once set up a huge transit station here. At that time, this valley with a length of more than ten kilometers was full of German military camps. Thousands of German soldiers were stationed here, and we, Venosta, used to be the headquarters of the German army at this transit point."

Afterwards, Schroeder smiled and said: "It's helpless to say it. Because my grandfather was a chef, he had to cook for the hateful Germans at that time, but what can I do? In order to survive, people I had to bow my head under the pressure of swords and guns. According to my grandfather, during those few years, we could not live in the home that originally belonged to us. We could only live in wooden houses outside. Our own houses were all destroyed by the Germans. The officers took over."

Yang Jing scolded at the right time: "Damn it."

"Yeah, that's a bunch of scumbags!" Schroeder raised his wine glass gloomily and took a big sip by himself.

"Then Venosta wasn't in this place back then?"

"Of course, according to my grandfather and my father, Venosta was still about 300 meters west of here. Although our village was not big at that time, there were more than 200 people anyway. At that time, our village The houses here are all built of stones, very solid. Well, the time of your visit is not right. If you had come a few months earlier, you could have dived down to see the small village of Venosta back then, and It’s not like now, where you can only look at the lonely bell tower facing the lake.”

"Then what if we dive down to see it now?" Grid asked.

"Now?" Schroeder's eyes widened in surprise, "Are you kidding! Don't you want to live? Don't look at the current lake water that is not frozen, but the current lake water temperature is very low. If people dive in it , could easily lead to death due to body hypothermia.”

"What if we use a dry suit?" Yang Jing asked with a smile.

Schroeder froze for a moment, and then said helplessly: "I don't know what your plans are, but my suggestion is that it's best not to go into the water during this season, even if you use a dry suit."

Yang Jing whistled at Clark, and the tall and tall Clark immediately stood up and made a bodybuilding movement with bent arms.

Yang Jing said with a smile: "See? This guy is my bodyguard. He is a retired soldier from the Delta Force. The lake water at this temperature is nothing to him. There are a few others, almost all Like this. Schroeder, mainly because I have a big hobby, which is diving photography. When I saw this lake, I knew I had to dive down to take a few photos. I’m sure I’m going to lose sleep for several nights if I’m taking pictures.”

Schroeder looked at the group of burly men, and finally gave Yang Jing a big thumbs up, "Dude, in fact, I knew you were not simple from the first time I saw you. Since you want to dive, I suggest you go to the west of the village. Old Waltz's dive shop at the head to rent his wetsuits. His wetsuits are the best of the generation, and old Waltz has a nice yacht."
