The next day, Wu Tianyuan followed Bai Hua Lao Guo to inspect Songzhuang all day, and gained a lot of gains, allowing him to more intuitively understand the creation and life of modern domestic artists. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The next step is for the two of them to dig up more newcomers, select the next batch of seeds according to the most popular aesthetics in the Western market, focus on cultivating, and wait for the model to mature and output strongly.

"Six hundred tons of gold in the country?"

Today, Wu Tianyuan has just received the latest research materials compiled by Niu Feng, and now he is the think tank behind Wu Tianyuan! Help collect and sort out a lot of secret information of the National Archives, lock some feasible treasure hunting routes, and let Wu Tianyuan act.

A yellowed file complains: "In Northeast Asia, Russia and Japan can be regarded as a pair of old enemies, and in addition to the grievances of several wars in history, there are many old accounts between the two countries that cannot be clarified. One of them is an unsolved case, which is still haunted by the Russians for more than 80 years, when nearly 600 tons of Tsarist Russia's gold reserves mysteriously disappeared in China, and the last person to handle these gold was the Japanese. ”

Wu Tianyuan is very interested, gold is good, it is the easiest to realize, and polar bears like gold the most!

"After the outbreak of the First World War in 1914, the Russian army was losing ground on the battlefield. By 1915, the Germans were closing in on Petrograd, the capital of Russia. For safety, the tsar ordered the transfer of the country's gold reserves to the rear. Soon about 600 tons of gold bars and coins were transported to Kazan. ”

"At the beginning of 1918, this batch of gold had been stored in Kazan for three years. Soviet Russia had been formed by this time, but the situation in the country 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 the socialist revolution in Russia, and under the pretext that Russia had made peace alone, they sent troops one after another to intervene in Soviet Russia. ”

"The value of the Kazan gold was even more evident in the turbulent situation, and 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 buy large quantities of military equipment and materiel, thereby changing the balance of power between the two sides. In August 1918, Petrov, a White Bandit officer, led an army to raid Kazan and seize gold. ”

"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 and Japan. ”

Kolchak was overjoyed to receive this batch of gold, and he quickly transferred it to his old nest of Omsk, which according to the records left at the time, totaled 583 tons. However, the Russian governor 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 the Russian gold, the Japanese army would send troops to repel the Red Army, but Kolchak refused the kindness of the Japanese. On November 14, 1919, the Red Army captured Omsk, but according to archival records, the Red Army found only a few tons of gold in the city. ”

"It turned out that a few hours before the occupation of Omsk by the Red Army, Kolchak and Petrov fled to Irkutsk by train, which also contained 63 boxes of gold. Faced with the pursuit of the Red Army, the men in the car counted on exchanging gold bars for some food or bullets at critical moments. What they did not expect was that as soon as the train arrived in Irkutsk, Kolchak was captured alive by the local Red Army, Petrov and the train escaped by luck, but encountered "black eating black" on the way, and the train was stopped by another Cossack white bandit army near Chita. The Cossacks tried to confiscate the gold, and the two sides almost got into a fight, and in the end Petrov had to compromise and give 30 boxes of gold to the Cossacks, and he took the remaining 33 boxes of gold to Chita. ”

Desperate, Petrov drove the train to Manchuria in northeastern China, seeking protection from the Japanese troops stationed there. Petrov thought that the Japanese, who supported Kolchak, would agree to his request, but he did not expect that the Japanese would not eat this set at all. In the face of the huge amount of gold, the Japanese had long left Kolchak behind, not to mention that at this time Kolchak had been executed by the Red Army. ”

"The Japanese sent their troops to occupy the train, and on the other hand, they imposed harsh conditions on Petrov: they would only be allowed to take refuge if all their weapons and treasures were surrendered to the Japanese government. In desperation, Petrov had no choice but to hand over the remaining gold to the Japanese, and all he got was a receipt signed by an unknown person. ”

However, the Japanese were not satisfied, and when they heard that 30 boxes of gold had been taken away, they immediately sent troops to raid the Cossack white bandits in Russia and recapture the gold. In this way, almost all of the nearly 600 tons of gold fell into the hands of the Japanese army. It is estimated that the value of this gold was twice the national revenue of Japan at the time. ”

"The Japanese troops stationed in Manchuria did not hand over the gold to the Japanese government, and in their report they submitted did not mention Petrov's gold at all, but only wrote: On April 19, 1920, the troops encountered bandits near Manchuria, annihilated the enemy and captured many trophies. The loot has been disposed of to cover daily expenses. ”

In fact, a considerable part of the gold was divided among Japanese commanders, and historical data show that a high-ranking Japanese military officer became rich overnight after returning from China, became the leader of Japan's largest political party, and began to compete for the prime minister's throne. Later, it was revealed that he had embezzled Russian gold in China, but the prosecutor investigating the matter was mysteriously assassinated, and the case was eventually closed. "War

"The rest of the gold was transferred by the Japanese army to a warehouse north of Tokyo. However, one night, it is unknown who set the warehouse on fire, and the whereabouts of the gold are completely unknown. ”

"You're saying there's still some gold left in the country? Just calm in the sea back to Japan? ”

"Yes, when the war broke out, several high-ranking officers were afraid of losing the gold, and they prepared to ship it back to Japan overnight. But on the way, their own people began to eat black again, and finally the ship exploded in the firefight, and all the gold sank to the bottom of the sea. ”

"Old Joe, let's go!"

Wu Tianyuan immediately contacted Lao Qiao, and three days later, the Tianyuan salvage team set off for the second time to hunt for treasure, this time on the high seas, without any scruples, and drove directly to the vicinity of the wreck to salvage gold.

"Boss, this time it's developed!"

Old Joe said excitedly: "Fifty boxes of gold bars!" At least fifty tons, I have never seen so much wealth in my life! ”

Wu Tianyuan nodded, it's not bad to be able to find fifty tons of six hundred tons, the rest were taken away by the Japanese, fifty tons, one hundred and fifty billion, ten tons for backup, and the rest for polar bears?

"Wait, I'll ask Sir William first."

Wu Tianyuan suddenly had an idea, the last time I went to Switzerland, I heard Sir William mention that he couldn't hang himself from a tree, ask William.

"You have forty tons of gold?"

William on the other side of the phone excitedly said, "Keep it for me!" As much as you want, the money will be remitted directly to your Swiss account in dollars! ”

Wu Tianyuan hung up the phone and said secretly: "It seems that the polar bear also goes underground with the Swiss bank, but William is even better, after all, he is a banker and has many resources, and the forty tons of gold polar bear will definitely not be able to eat it in one bite." ”

Three days later, the gold was transported away by William, and the $2.5 billion was immediately received, Wu Tianyuan sighed, it seems that there are smuggling routes in both black and white! (To be continued.) )
