"The Apo-9 has been attacked by American torpedoes or artillery shells several times, but there has been no major damage," but this time after being torpedoed, it only took three minutes to sink in the sea, which cannot but make people wonder. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Later, someone once analyzed that the Awa Maru was equipped with a large number of military **, and the torpedo was just a fuse, but what the truth is, it became confusing as this 10,000-ton giant ship sank to the bottom of the sea.

However, it is recognized that the Awa Maru was "loaded with a large amount of precious cargo" and that there were 4o tons of gold and about 4o boxes of jewelry and goods looted from Southeast Asia and other countries.

In addition, there are large quantities of industrial diamonds, such as platinum, tin chains, rubber, and thousands of tons of rice, and even today "the value of these goods is staggeringly high" and is almost incalculable.

Later, Western countries provided video footage of the Awa Maru when it sailed out of Singapore, and the footage shown above showed that the Awa Maru ship was loaded with several tons of gold on the dock, all of which were loaded into iron crates, and carried by Japanese soldiers on their shoulders one by one, as well as many extremely precious items, which also confirmed the shocking wealth of the Awa Maru.

Since the Awa Maru was sunk in China's territorial waters, according to the provisions of the international law of the sea, the Awa Maru wreck belongs to the sovereignty of the state, and no country or individual is allowed to enter the territorial waters of the country for salvage operations without the approval of the national government, and only the national government has the right to salvage the Awa Maru.

For a period of time at the end of the 70s of the last century, the United States, Britain, Germany, France, and many other Western powers submitted requests to the Chinese government to come to salvage or to jointly salvage with China.

However, at that time, the country rejected these requests, and in early May 977, the Ministry of Communications and the Navy jointly established a salvage operation site headquarters, and the relevant departments issued news and navigation warnings to the outside world, announcing the salvage of the Awa Maru shipwreck in the Ushiyama Sea.

The news alarmed the world, "because many countries believed that the country was simply not capable of salvaging the Awa Maru, but it turned out that after more than two years of hard work by thousands of soldiers and staff, most of the hull was salvaged."

At that time, a total of 548 tons of tin chains, rubber, mercury, sharp weaving, mica, actinic glass and other materials were salvaged from the wreck, with a total value of more than 5ooo yuan, and 68 Japanese bones were also salvaged, which were returned to the Japanese Red Cross by the Shanghai Red Cross Society of China.

However, the most valuable gold, platinum and diamonds on board were nowhere to be found, and the precious objects shown in the photographic materials were not recovered, and the whereabouts of this wealth have become a mystery for decades.

"Teacher, was the gold really not salvaged at that time?"

Zhuang Rui is also familiar with this history, but he always wondered in his heart that it was due to specific political factors at that meeting that these things were not announced to the outside world after they were salvaged?

"I participated in that salvage from beginning to end, and there was no gold ......"

Professor Meng's eyes were a little misty, as if he was recalling the salvage operation for more than 30 years, and continued to say: "In fact, the salvage work was not complete......

According to the survey, about 10,000 cubic meters of silt buried the vault, the bridge, the guest rooms, the crew cabins and engine rooms, and the divers could not reach those positions......"

At that time, Professor Meng was "skeptical" about the success of the so-called salvage and had questioned it in a book, but in that special era when the chaos had just been rectified, Professor Meng was unfortunately put on a big hat again, and was thrown into Qincheng Prison for more than a year of review.

So just now when he heard that he was going to restart the "Awa Maru" and salvage the matter, Professor Meng's face was not very good-looking, but the old man was quite open-minded, and the matter had passed for more than 30 years, and he did not continue to be entangled.

"Professor Meng is right, at that time, due to technical reasons, it was not possible to completely salvage the Awa Maru," but now the technical problems that existed in the salvage of the Awa Maru have been resolved......

Through the efforts of our Ministry of Communications, the state also approved the salvage "After our research and the approval of the superior leaders, it was decided that Professor Meng would serve as the commander-in-chief of the salvag", "

Although Vice Minister Yu did not participate in the salvage work back then, he still knew about what happened to Professor Meng, and when Ping explained, "And the position of the commander-in-chief also has the intention of appeasing Professor Meng."

"Hey, Minister Yu, I have a question......

Zhuang Rui listened to it and felt that something was not quite right, and opened his mouth and said: "According to Minister Yu's words, "This salvage operation is a state act, so it has nothing to do with me, why did you bring me here?"

Moreover, the state is not out of money, just the money for food and drink for these civil servants a year costs hundreds of billions of dollars, not to mention salvaging one "Awa Maru", "Even if you catch ten ships, it will be no problem."

"Xiaozhuang, this kind of thinking ...... Ahem......"

After Vice Minister Yu heard Zhuang Rui's words, "I instinctively picked up the official tone, but halfway through the words, I remembered that others were not people in the system at all, and I was not in the right way to talk to him at all."

And Zhuang Rui is not an ordinary businessman, "as long as Zhuang Rui does not break the law, he wants to take Zhuang Rui somewhere else" Deputy Minister Yu has neither the courage nor the ability, and he didn't see that this was just a trivial matter to salvage the sunken ship, so he let Ouyang Lei come in person?

"That's the case, Xiaozhuang, you also know that the geographical environment of Fujian's sea area is not very good, especially now in September and October, it is the typhoon season, if the tonnage of this salvage ship is small, it will definitely not work Qin Yu Vice Minister put on a posture of talking with Zhuang Rui, and then said: "Our country does not have such a large tonnage salvage ship, if it is built temporarily, it will take at least a year or two to spend UA and spend a lot of money in the country, and Xiaozhuang You just have such a ship, we think we can still cooperate." ……”

Originally, according to the decision of the ministry, he was going to lease or even use Zhuang Rui's luxury salvage ship for free, but Deputy Minister Yu didn't seem to be so easy to talk when he saw Zhuang Rui, and Ouyang Lei's sudden arrival "This temporarily used the word "cooperation".

"Cooperation, well, this is a good solution" In fact, it is long overdue to cooperate with the private sector to complete this work in the form of commercial operations, self-financing, risk-bearing, state approval, and profit sharing" I have submitted this proposal to the relevant departments before, but"

After hearing Vice Minister Yu's words, Professor Meng even expressed his approval, due to the complex environment of Fujian's sea area, "the seabed silt is thick, no one dares to guarantee the success of the salvage, and the salvage can minimize the loss and reduce the risk by using the cooperation method that Professor Meng said."

"This ...... Professor Meng is talking about this......"

After Vice Minister Yu heard Professor Meng's words, he was dumb and couldn't speak, according to their original thinking, this matter was handled by the Ministry of Communications and the Navy, and they didn't think about letting the people participate at all.

It's just that as soon as Professor Meng's suggestion comes out, if he wants to veto, I'm afraid Zhuang Rui won't buy it."

Originally, I wanted to take advantage of the opportunity of Zhuang Rui to salvage the shipwreck of the Song Dynasty, and then salvage the treasure of the more influential Awa Maru shipwreck, so as to increase the work achievements of the Ministry of Communications, but I didn't expect that this gaffe was a little undominated by him.

"Minister Yu, just do what the teacher says, and you can talk to my lawyer about specific matters......"

Zhuang Rui also saw a little bit of Deputy Minister Yu's intentions, the teacher built a ladder for himself, of course he had to climb up, and he wanted to make the Ministry of Communications suffer a dumb loss.

"Uh...... Xiaozhuang, this is ...... I'm going back to the ministry for a meeting to study how to cooperate, and I'll contact you when the time comes......"

When the state and the people cooperated to salvage the sunken ship, they had not been born before, and Vice Minister Yu did not dare to agree to it at the moment.

However, the best thing officialdom is procrastination, and Vice Minister Yu is even more proficient in this way, he wants to delay this matter first, and as for whether it can be done in the future, it still needs to be "studied".

"Okay, let's say so, I still have a meeting, so I'll leave first,"

Ouyang Lei, who had been sitting next to him and did not speak, stood up, shook hands with Professor Meng and others, turned around when he walked to the door, looked at Vice Minister Yu and said: "Minister Yu, sometimes you have to relax your thinking when doing work, this cooperation is not an unacceptable thing, it is best to implement it as soon as possible" The navy will fully assist when the time comes...... , Ouyang Lei is naturally very clear about the Taoism in the officialdom, seeing that the deputy minister wants to delay, he helped Zhuang Rui again when he left, and pointed to the deputy minister, the weight of his sentence is not light.

"Don't worry, Chief Ouyang, after I go back, I will immediately suggest that the minister convene a meeting of the Standing Committee to discuss and study it, and set a tone for this Hejing salvage......

Vice Minister Yu was full of bitterness at the moment, he dared to drag Zhuang Rui, but he didn't dare to fool Ouyang Lei, "It seems that the first precedent of cooperating with the private sector to salvage a sunken ship will be born in their tenure." ！~！
