Chapter 1233: Be a War Star!
Because of Liu Ruihua's own crossing, he knows that there is time and space to cross such a thing. But Liu Ruihua really didn't imagine that time and space would span so long? This contrast is too great, and he is really a little difficult to accept!
Xiaomei said: "Liu Ruihua, your complaint has no effect on the space-time system! Now you have to face the reality, not complain!"
Liu Ruihua said angrily: "Okay, then I'll face the reality! Since I was wrong, let's be a little more wrong, go back to 1840! It's okay to change the history of the First Opium War?"
"No!" Xiaomei resolutely refused: "One, we don't have enough energy now to cross." On the other hand, even if you go back to 1840, you will not be able to change that part of the history of the Chinese nation! The Opium War of 1840 can be said to have completely changed the history of the Chinese nation! If you want to go back and stop that war, then you are definitely not a problem that affects 5% of the history of China, but the entire overthrow, right? Do you think the space-time system will support it?"
"What a bullshit space-time system!" Liu Ruihua was going crazy! He flew up and kicked a rock on the ground!
"Oh, why is this broken stone so strong?" The next moment, Ruihua hugged his feet, grinning a little in pain.
"What kind of broken stone is this? I don't believe I can't handle you!" After speaking, Liu Ruihua took out a military dagger from his body, a military dagger is a cold weapon, and it can be used in any era.
Liu Ruihua wanted to use a dagger to pry the stone open. Liu Ruihua is angry and has no place to be angry, so let's take this stone to be angry!
Next, Liu Ruihua excavated the stone fiercely, and in the end, digging deeper and deeper, Liu Ruihua found that the stone was getting bigger and bigger?
What kind of stone is this? Liu Ruihua was a little angry, and viciously took a military dagger and stuck it on this broken stone!
Hmmm? It feels weird, and why isn't there a sense of spark and rigidity?
Liu Ruihua took out a military dagger, and then showed a stunned expression, and muttered: "Why is there yellow in this stone......?"
Xiaomei said very seriously at this time: "Yes, this stone is a piece of gold!"
"What? Such a big piece of gold? How is this possible? Is it possible that there are no stones everywhere on the South African grassland?" Liu Ruihua looked at the big golden stone and was stunned.
Xiaomei said very seriously: "Liu Ruihua, I think I know why the space-time system has changed time and place!"
Liu Ruihua asked: "Why? Is it for gold? Didn't you say that the space-time system is not picking up rags and disdainful of money?"
Xiaomei snorted: "Do you think there is only gold here? I checked the information just now, and I just determined what the location is here." It's a super gold mine!"
"Ah, gold mines, there are exposed gold mines?" Liu Ruihua was dumbfounded.
Xiaomei confirmed: "Yes! I checked the information just now, and this is the Rand Gold Mine! This is the largest gold mine in the world, with a storage capacity of more than 60,000 tons, accounting for 52 percent of the world's gold reserves!"
"What?" Liu Ruihua almost jumped up, shocked: "This is the Rand Gold Mine, the largest Rand Gold Mine in the world? No, I know more about this gold mine, it seems that it was discovered in 1884 and only started mining in 1886! Now it is 1855, and we discovered it?"
Xiaomei said: "I know why we changed the place and time. It's possible that this gold mine will be discovered in advance, so we'll get there first!"
Liu Ruihua was stunned: "Isn't it? You mean to say, wait a minute, this gold mine is very likely to be discovered?
Xiaomei said: "Yes, it should be understood like this." It's just that although history has changed, there is still no way to change some things. For example, this gold mine was kicked and eaten. By the way, since you know when this gold mine was discovered, you should know this little story, right?"
Liu Ruihua smiled: "Don't say it, I really know a little bit." It seems like a foreigner who traded a few cows for a pasture? One day this foreigner was wandering around the meadow and kicked a random kick and kicked out a piece of gold? And then he found the world's largest rand gold mine? I was dizzy, and now I'm this stone-kicker?"
Liu Ruihua is stupid now. It turns out that the Rand gold mine was not discovered very much.
One day in 1884, a white man named George Harry was walking on a farm north of Johannesburg when he tripped over a rock that was outcropping, a nugget of gold. As a result, gold diggers from all over the world came here to pan for gold. With the increasing number of gold prospectors, the area became a populous settlement.
George Harrison, who discovered the nugget, himself rushed to Pretoria after ecstasy, as is customary, to report the discovery to the official authorities and obtain a "gold discoverer's title certificate" that would be tax-free.
But Harrison himself had no money to develop the mine, and he eventually sold the ownership to someone else for a very low price. Today, his statue stands just off Route 24 from Johannesburg International Airport to the city centre.
Witwatersrand Gold – a uranium conglomerate deposit, located in a vast area of South Africa centered on the city of Johannesburg, once produced about 1,000 tons of gold per year. For a long time, it accounted for more than half of the world's total production, making it the world's largest gold producer.
In 1887~1931, the output of gold ore reached 32 million tons. In the 80s of the 20th century, the highest annual output reached 1,000 tons.
In the Twatersrand Strata and carbonaceous rock formations. The Archean greenstone under the unconformity is mainly composed of conglomerate, quartzite, carbonate rock and slate, and the sedimentary age is between 2.6 billion ~ 2.3 billion years.
Xiaomei saw Liu Ruihua so surprised, so she said: "The space-time system is actually not open to money. Since the space-time system can change the time and place to come here, it proves that the space-time system must have the energy needed by the system. Of course, since you have come here, you can't let go of the gold from the Rand Gold Mine! You know, there may be more than 80,000 tons of gold here!"
Liu Ruihua was stunned and said: "Wow, there are so many? Didn't you say that there were only 20,000 left? Oh, you see I'm dizzy, and when there are still 20,000 tons left, it was another historical period." The mine hasn't been mined yet. But even though there are 80,000 tons, we don't have any mining tools now, so how can we get this gold? By the way, is there a large amount of gold available? We can rob it?"
Xiaomei seemed to pout and said: "What do you think? Even if there is, according to our current strength, it is impossible to rob it openly, right? Besides, we don't dare to rob the gold of those developed countries in the West, otherwise it will seriously change the history of the world." This is also not allowed. ”
Liu Ruihua smiled bitterly: "Won't it?
Xiao Meiqing paused, and suddenly said with a little surprise: "Ah, it seems that there really is!"
Liu Ruihua was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't wait to say: "Is there really one? Where is the gold? How many kilograms are there?"
In Liu Ruihua's opinion, you are very good if you have hundreds of kilograms of gold.
Who knows, Xiaomei seemed to be disdainful and said: "What? Hmph, you are too petty! The space-time system is finally a good man who takes advantage of the fire to rob, how can you look at hundreds of kilograms?"
Liu Ruihua swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said with a wry smile: "That'...... You wouldn't say it's thousands of kilograms of gold, would you? That's really a fortune!"
Xiaomei snorted: "Liu Ruihua, just such a little bit of courage, and you still have to swear that you will travel back and change this history, change that history? Okay, I won't sell it anymore, the space-time system prompts, maybe we can fight the idea of Tsarist gold! You know, that's 600 tons of gold! Far from the thousands of kilograms you imagined!"
Liu Ruihua was dumbfounded and said: "What? Tsarist gold I seem to have heard that Tsarist Russia has a lot of gold reserves, and then it disappeared inexplicably? But I don't know what it is." ”
Xiaomei seemed to be a little proud and said: "In this aspect, you human beings are not as good as our computers! Okay, classmate Liu Ruihua, let me give you a science popularization of Tsarist gold! According to the data,
Xiaomei continued: "Here's how it happened: After the outbreak of World War I, the Russian army was losing ground on the battlefield. Seeing that the German army was approaching the Russian capital, in this situation, for the sake of safety, Tsarist Russia transferred the national gold reserves to the rear. About 600 tons of gold bars and coins were transported to Kazan.
Later, the gold was stored in Kazan for 3 years. At this time, Soviet Russia had been established, but the domestic situation had not stabilized. In March 1918, Soviet Russia withdrew from World War I by signing the Brest Peace Treaty with Germany. Britain, France, the United States, Japan, and other Entente countries were very frightened by this socialist revolution in Russia, and they used Russia's peace alone as an excuse to send troops to intervene in Soviet Russia.
Liu Ruihua nodded and said, "Oh, I still know a little bit about this history. Okay, let's go and get it back from the White Bandits! But how are we going to grab it now? 600 tons, is there still room for the system?
Liu Ruihua is now determined to take down the gold of Tsarist Russia no matter what. You must know that the territory of China has been occupied by Russia a lot, and since Liu Ruihua has returned to this history, even if he doesn't change too much of the history of China, he must keep the land no matter what, right?
Even if he can't keep it, Liu Ruihua plans to rob the gold of Tsarist Russia, and then use this gold to buy the Chinese lands occupied by Russia. Liu Ruihua is careless, 600 tons of gold can't buy a large piece of land!
Using the robbed gold to buy other people's land, Liu Ruihua thinks this is more fun. Liu Ruihua suddenly found that this is a good plan, if this rand gold mine can be excavated on a large scale, then Liu Ruihua is like having countless gold, in this case, you can buy some colonies with some developed countries in the West, right? I don't have to conquer you by force, just buy some with money, this is not to change world history, right?
Liu Ruihua was dreaming there, but Xiaomei seemed to roll her eyes and said: "Liu Ruihua, I found that you really like to dream in broad daylight! The system just said that we have a chance to lay this 600 tons of gold, not that we will definitely be able to win it." Things haven't been done yet, and you're here worrying about how you're going to store this gold in the future?"
Liu Ruihua woke up like a dream, and then sneered: "Ah, this ...... By the way, you seem to be halfway there, so what happened to the gold of Tsarist Russia?"
Xiaomei said: "Do you know that you have said half of it? Liu Ruihua, please sigh after the teacher finishes speaking, okay? Okay, I will continue to talk about the history of the gold of Tsarist Russia."
In the situation of turmoil in Russia, the Kazan gold is very important. Both the Red Army and the White Bandit Army realized that this gold could have an important impact on the course of the civil war, as it could purchase large quantities of military equipment and supplies, thereby changing the balance of power on both sides. In August 1918, Petrov, a White Bandit officer, led an army to raid Kazan and seize gold. After the October Revolution, the White Bandits took advantage of the chaos to seize the gold reserves of Tsarist Russia. You must know that this is a great wealth, so there are not many countries and people who know about it. ”
Liu Ruihua said strangely: "What white bandit army?"
Xiaomei said angrily: "Isn't there a Red Army? The army opposing the Red Army is really the White Army! And it's still a bandit army, isn't it?"
"Oh, I just remembered when you said that, I've heard of it before. Liu Ruihua suddenly realized.
The Red Army, having learned of the loss of gold, quickly launched an attack on Petrov's troops. In order to keep the gold, Petrov gave it to Kolchak, the leader of the White Bandits. At that time, Kolchak was one of the largest white bandit leaders in Russia, and he proclaimed himself the "Supreme Governor of Russia" and was recognized and supported by the West, Japan, and other countries.
Kolchak was overjoyed when he received this batch of gold, and he quickly transferred the gold to his old nest of Omsk, which, according to the records left at the time, totaled 583 tons. However, the "Supreme Governor of Russia" could not stop the advance of the Red Army. Soon, the Red Army advanced to the vicinity of Omsk. At this time, the Japanese heard the news of this batch of gold, and they proposed to Kolchak that if Kolchak agreed to "protect Russian gold" by the Japanese army, the Japanese would send troops to repel the Red Army, but Kolchak rejected the "kindness" of the Japanese. On November 14, 1919, the Red Army captured Om-Ssk, but according to the archives, the Red Army found only a few tons of gold in the city. So, where does the rest of the gold go?"
Liu Ruihua was stunned and said: "Dizzy, won't it be taken away by Little Japan? No wonder Little Japan is so rich! No, this must be snatched back! Since he has traveled to this historical time and space, then Lao Tzu doesn't mind being a king of war! A big hero and a big star who saves the nation and the country!"
