Chapter 1812 1.1811 Zoo Train

"Captain, can you take a look out the left window?" At this moment, the voice of Lisa Kyriakides, the head of the intelligence room of the "News Car" of the "Outstanding Lady", the senior female captain of the anti-aircraft artillery, and the Greek female guerrilla leader, sounded in the core encrypted channel of the sister regiment.

Danielle, the head of the SA3 Sisterhood and the chief casting assistant, immediately walked to the viewing window and said, "Okay, Lisa. What happened?"

"Do you see a train of animal transports?" Intelligence Chief Lisa Kyriakides continued to prompt.

"Yes, Lisa." Following the intelligence chief's prompt, the leader of the "SA3 Sisterhood", Chief Casting Assistant Danielle, immediately saw a strange zoo train: "I saw it."

"This zoo train came from Poland and was originally going to Switzerland, a neutral country. However, the railway was destroyed by the guerrillas, so it had to go to Belgrade. It will continue its journey after the railway is repaired."

The head of the SA3 Sisterhood, Chief Casting Assistant Danielle, had already guessed: "So?"

"The employer of this train is a woman called The Zookeeper's Wife," said Intelligence Director Lisa Kyriakides with a smile. "She is also a famous character in the World War II-like plot. In the words of the owner, she is a celebrity card."

The heroine of "The Zookeeper's Wife", Antonina 'Punia' Zabinska, is played by the famous Westwood actress Jessica Chastain.

In 1939, Germany launched a blitzkrieg against Poland and quickly occupied most of Poland's territory. The zoo run by the beautiful and kind Antonina and her husband Dr. Jan Zabinski suffered heavy losses due to the German bombing and was also facing the risk of closing down. With the massive occupation of the German army, the Jews in Poland were driven out. Antonina Zabinska could not bear to see her Jewish friend, the female sculptor Magda Gross, leave her homeland, so she discussed with Jan to hide her in the zoo. Later, after witnessing the tragic experience of many Jews, Dr. Jan Zabinski decided to use the zoo as a temporary hiding place for the Jews. The couple found their old friend Lutz Heck, who was a German officer, for help. Lutz Heck, a zoologist, was also trying to use the American bison in the zoo to try to breed the extinct European bison, so he readily agreed to their idea of ​​changing the zoo into a pig farm in the name of providing pork for the German army. Dr. Jan Zabinski rescued batches of Jews by transporting fodder from the Jewish ghetto. Antonina Zabinska placed these Jews in an empty animal pen. When night fell, these Jews came out of the darkness, ate and talked together. As the war intensified, the patriotic Dr. Jan Zabinski joined the Warsaw Salvation Army. He was wounded and captured in the battle. His life and death were unknown. Antonina Zabinska, who was alone, raised her two children and covered the evacuation of Jews...

"So, because of the derivative of the fusion plot, she and the Jews hiding in the zoo hired a train, nominally moving the zoo to Switzerland to continue operating, but in fact secretly covering the evacuation of the Jews."

"She must not know that so-called neutral countries are also accomplices of the Nazis."

Switzerland is nominally a neutral country, but in fact it has given great support to Germany. Shortly after the outbreak of World War II, Switzerland provided Germany with a loan of 1.5 million Swiss francs. In addition, a large part of the electricity generated by Switzerland was exported to Germany, and various precision parts were also provided to Germany to support Germany's military industry. During the period when Nazi Germany persecuted Jews crazily, Switzerland also became one of its accomplices. Not only did it help Germany stop Jews, but it also confiscated all the assets of Jews in Swiss banks. This uncollected account was about more than 100 billion US dollars. American scholar Tom Powell wrote a book specifically about this called "Nazi Gold: A Panoramic Story of Fifty Years - Swiss Nazis Conspired to Steal Billions from European Jews and Holocaust Survivors", which tells the story of many survivors who could not withdraw their deposits from their accounts. To launder funds for the Nazis, most of Germany's gold transactions at that time were conducted in Swiss banks. In particular, after Nazi Germany occupied Europe, it plundered a large amount of gold reserves from various countries and collected a large number of Jewish gold and silver jewelry in concentration camps; the Nazis melted all this gold and marked it with the German logo. However, due to sanctions from the Allies, Germany had gold but no way to trade it. At this time, Switzerland played a very important role. Switzerland knew that the gold from Germany was not legitimate, but it did not prevent the Swiss from buying it at a low price and selling it at a high price, making a fortune. According to statistics, the Swiss Central Bank bought more than 1939 tons of gold worth 1945 billion Swiss francs from Germany between 300 and 17. After the Germans had this money, they bought a large amount of chromium, tungsten and other strategic materials from Switzerland, which were used to make armor-piercing shells and improve the strength of armor. Other countries could not sell them directly to the Germans.

In 1943, Nazi Germany's Minister of Economy Funk said: If the German economy loses Switzerland as a foreign exchange channel, it will not be able to support itself for two months. At that time, 90% of the German Reichsbank's gold transactions were conducted with Swiss banks. The Vice President of the German Reichsbank, Poole, once commented on Switzerland: This is a fundamental reason why it still maintains its independence.

Swiss banks seized the opportunity that Germany was the only financial outlet and bought up a large amount of gold from Germany at a low price (5% below the market price), and then sold the gold to banks in other neutral countries at the market price or even higher. Through this method, Swiss banks earned a difference of 2000 million US dollars.

Because Switzerland claims to be a neutral country and is the only neutral country left in Europe, many Jews wanted to flee to Switzerland for asylum. Unfortunately, the Swiss authorities explicitly refused to accept these Jews and declared to the public that "Jews should not be regarded as political refugees."

A large number of Jews who had been allowed to enter the country were also handed over to the German side. In 1939, when World War II broke out, as many as 10 Jews were denied entry. Swiss people who helped Jews privately were even convicted by the authorities.

Even at the end of World War II, many high-ranking Nazi officials, seeing defeat imminent, registered anonymous accounts in Switzerland and transferred large amounts of property.

After World War II, the Allies led by the United States demanded that Switzerland freeze German assets and return the "documented" gold to its "legal holders". But Switzerland refused, and the two sides ended up in a long negotiation. In May 1946, Switzerland and the Allies signed an agreement in Washington. Switzerland only invested 5 million Swiss francs to solve the problem of unowned assets, German assets, and German loot that the Allies were chasing after, and also asked the Allies not to pursue Switzerland's responsibility in World War II.

“Perhaps Switzerland, a nominally neutral country but secretly an accomplice of the Nazis and the Third Reich’s ‘financial white glove’, would not allow the Jews on the train to enter. That’s why the zoo train was allowed to pass by the old Polish occupation army friends of the zoo director and his wife.” Lisa Steber, the chief female correspondent of Signal magazine in Paris and agent of the Seventh Bureau, sighed: “This is not a victorious escape, it’s clearly a trap.”

Danielle, the head of the SA3 Sisterhood and the chief casting assistant, immediately made up her mind: "If nothing unexpected happens, there will be a fierce battle tonight. In order to prevent accidental injuries from both the guerrillas and the Nazis, we must deal with this zoo train as soon as possible."

"Danielle, what do you want to do?" asked the female guerrilla Irene, the on-set security supervisor who was in the 42-meter, 8-axle, double-decker "6×prop car" at the tail of the "Superstar".

"Notify the station guards that we need to discuss the purchase of special living props with the zoo director's wife."

Lisa Steber, the chief female correspondent for Signal magazine in Paris and agent of the Seventh Bureau, immediately realized: "Ah, we have to buy the train zoo."
