Chapter 1059: Gold!

"Even kill your own people!" Cui Lizhu stuck out her tongue, "In order to keep the secret, the Japanese really fought hard!"

"However, I'm ......curious," Zhao Yu frowned and said, "Your father has never been abroad, how did he find out this Japanese news......?" He's not fighting alone? or...... Is this all gossip?"

"My dad has always traveled alone, and if he has friends, they should all be on the channel of selling stolen goods, but not on the technical level. Cui Lizhu said, "As for the grapevine...... It's still very likely that such a murderous thing will happen, right?

"After all, it is about the fate of the country, not to mention killing a few officers, even killing a few generals, it's worth it, right? Secrets are secrets after all, and the more people who know, the easier it is to be exposed! What's more, what they buried is not only those treasures, but also a batch of priceless gold!"

"Speaking of gold...... Zhao Yu flipped through his notes and said, "How do I feel so mysterious? I still don't understand how the gold of the Russians can get into the hands of little Japan? Also, what is the concept of 600 tons of gold? How much is it worth now? If it really exists, how many people must be looking for it? Isn't it too much of a joke?"

"Boss, don't say it," Cui Lizhu said, "This thing seems quite mysterious, but the matter of 600 tons of gold did exist! This is not a wild history, but it has been recorded in historical records...... I now have a search on the Internet and there is ......"

As she spoke, Cui Lizhu quickly found out about 600 tons of gold.

Unexpectedly, the origin of 600 tons of gold can be traced back to an earlier period, when the First World War had just broken out, and Russia at that time was not called Russia, nor was it called the Soviet Union, but Tsarist Russia.

At that time, as the German army approached the capital of Tsarist Russia, the Tsar ordered the transfer of the country's gold reserves to the rear for the sake of safety, and transferred about 600 tons of gold bars and coins to the Kazan region in the east.

But who knows, a few years later, Soviet Russia was founded, and there was a large-scale split in the country, and one of the white bandits seized the opportunity and took the lead in occupying the gold reserves.

What happened next was even more dramatic, as the Red Army learned that the gold had been robbed by the white bandits, and attacked the white bandits' lair in a big way. The white bandits could not resist, and they were defeated and retreated, and they were forced to retreat to China.

Later, black ate black inside the white bandits, and gold was divided into two by two groups of white bandits!

One of the white bandits, who possessed gold, was cornered and had no choice but to take refuge with the Japanese army stationed in Manchuria at that time. The Japanese were not good at it, not only confiscated the gold, but also sent troops to raid another white bandit unit and recapture the other half of the gold.

At this point, the Japanese took possession of the 600 tons of gold for themselves and completely took possession of the gold. It is said that the total value of this gold was twice the national revenue of Japan at the time.

The whereabouts of the gold have since become unsolved mysteries. Some people say that the Japanese army in Manchuria was selfish and did not report it to the Japanese government, but wrote a random report and took the gold for themselves. Part of it was divided among the officers of the command post, while the rest of the gold was hidden by them.

Others say that the Japanese army in Manchuria handed over the gold to the government, and all of it was transferred back to the Japanese mainland.

It is even said that the gold was divided into several batches by the Japanese, some of which were stored in Tohoku, some were transferred back to Japan, and some were transported to the battlefields of Southeast Asia.

In short, there are many versions of the legend about the whereabouts of gold. Later, the whereabouts of the gold became more and more obscure, and not only the Soviets, but even the Japanese were looking for it, but there was no follow-up.

It is said that after the collapse of the Soviet Union, they also sued Japan in an international court for compensation over the gold incident. However, due to the lack of vital human and material evidence, the Japanese government has refused to admit it.

According to experts' estimates, the total value of that gold today is close to $100 billion, which is an astonishing fortune that rivals the wealth of a country!

Who knows, it was such a batch of shocking gold treasures that actually appeared on Liu Dianchen's codex, which had to surprise Zhao Yu and Cui Lizhu!

No wonder, the word "gold" appears repeatedly in Liu Dianchen's interrogation codex.

According to Liu Dianchen's confession, he said that when he was the director of the Japanese puppet construction department, he had heard rumors about this batch of gold many times.

In fact, there have always been many different theories among the Japanese, and few people know the truth about gold.

Even they themselves spread the word that even the Japanese prime minister at the time relied on that batch of gold to run for office, and some people were assassinated because of gold.

Therefore, for a long time, Liu Dianchen only thought that the matter of gold was very far away from him. However, at that high-level meeting on the eve of Japan's defeat, he unexpectedly overheard some clues.

He heard with his own ears that the Japanese military top brass had repeatedly mentioned the words "Tsarist Russia and gold", and even mentioned the Awa Maru, which sank in the South China Sea. So he suspected that the gold was probably related to the Japanese army's last treasure plan.

Liu Dianchen said that he believed that there should be a remaining part of the Tsarist Russian gold left in the northeast.

At the time, the Japanese probably wanted to smuggle the remaining gold back home. However, the war was defeated too quickly, and the land, sea and air had been blocked, and they were worried that the gold would suffer the same fate as the Awa Maru, so they decided to include the gold in the treasure plan along with other treasures and hide it all in that secret fortress.

Later, through Liu Dianchen's many inquiries, he also got a more definite news, someone saw that the pro-guard army of the Japanese Kwantung Army Headquarters once appeared at the railway station and secretly transferred 18 boxes.

Liu Dianchen suspected that the contents of these 18 boxes were likely to be the original batch of Tsarist Russian gold. Gold has been in the works for many years, and now less than a third is left.

Therefore, he believed that there was a great possibility that these 18 boxes of gold were hidden in a secret fortress by the Japanese along with other treasures.

Later, when the Japanese army announced its surrender, Liu Dianchen wanted to follow the Japanese back to China for protection, like other traitors.

However, the Japanese are simply too busy to take care of themselves, where is anyone who cares about his life or death?

Therefore, when the government of the Republic of China took over, Liu Dianchen was quickly captured by the military commanders. Liu Dianchen knew that he was going to die, so he hurriedly told him about the treasure plan, wanting to exchange it for his life.

After the government of the Republic of China learned of this, it naturally attached great importance to it, imprisoned Liu Dianchen alone, and then sent a number of experts to find the whereabouts of the treasure together.

However, even though they spent a huge amount of manpower and material resources and searched for three years, they found nothing. In the end, until the outbreak of the Liaoshen Campaign, they couldn't stay any longer, so they had to give up the search plan and secretly execute Liu Dianchen.

As soon as Liu Dianchen died, it indicated that this mysterious fortress treasure had also become an unsolvable mystery!!
