Chapter 108: The Conquest of the Americas (4)

"Instructor, here's the route map of the expedition we've found." Zeng Xiaoying carried a black leather suitcase, handed it to Ye Tan and said, "In addition, there are 506 catties of gold, 809 catties of silver, and more than 3,000 coins of various kinds. 50 coastal defense guns of different types, 20,000 rounds of artillery shells and propellants. and more than 26,000 catties of flour and other materials. ”

"Okay! There has been growth. This time it will be counted as your collective third-class merit. ”

Opening the suitcase, Ye Tan took out the route map and took a closer look, it was a route map. It is marked with various hydrological and climate change data in the Russian language.

"Instructor, how is this female Tsarist going to deal with it?"

"This Karina is not simple, don't fool her by looking weak! Of course, it is still handled in accordance with the confidentiality regulations. Everything that shouldn't be touched by her, never let her touch! Even Lan Meili can't come forward! In particular, pay attention to the several maids around her. As for her bodyguards, the murderous aura on their bodies was very heavy, and they were all escorted to build roads. To separate them, the farther away the better, and not to let them stay together anymore. ”

"In addition, this place will be handed over to Captain Rowan. Leave 100 catties of silver and more than 3,000 yuan coins as funds, and take all the others away, leaving two boatloads of supplies. We'll get back to the battleship right away, and tonight we have something to do. ”

"I'll arrange it."

An hour later, Ye Tan and the others returned to the Purple Rainbow.

As soon as he got on the ship, Ye Tan said: "Long Yue, immediately dispatch a battalion of troops, as well as 4 Mi-26 transport planes on the battleship, and a large number of packing bags, and immediately prepare for departure." ”

"Yes!"

This is the rhythm of the special operation. Long Yue immediately raised his hand and saluted, and said with great joy.

Three minutes later, four Mi-26 transport planes took off from the Zihong and flew northeast at a speed of 195 kilometers per hour.

An hour later, the plane landed at the mountain behind Juno, the source of the Avalanche Valley.

In this place, in 1880, the Americans, led by the local chief, found a large amount of placer gold, the particles of which were the size of a finger. According to WikiLeaks, there are at least 25 to 50 tons of placer gold.

In later generations, Juno became the capital of Alaska because of the discovery of three of the world's largest gold mines in the world around Juneau.

It's a gentle hillside. Ye Tan got down from the transport plane, pointed to the streams below on the left and right, and said, "Zeng Xiaoying, Long Yue, the military salaries of the brothers are below." Let the brothers put it back on me. ”

Under the searchlight, the entire valley was glittering with gold. Suddenly, everyone's hearts were on fire.

"Instructor, it's gold dust! We're rich! ”

Zeng Xiaoying smiled happily.

Only those close to them knew how much Ye Tan had to spend every day. Especially now, with more and more personnel, coupled with the purchase of various materials, the stall is too large. The daily expenditure has exceeded 1,500 catties of gold. Especially the more than ten 10,000-ton ships, although Ye Tan didn't say it. But Zeng Xiaoying has also been to New York, so he naturally knows that the value of these ships is at least worth more than 10 billion US dollars. As for the various weapons, it doesn't matter.

Fortunately, Ye Tan has many ways to make money. In addition to Iron Bull and Meng Hu, their golden troops. Especially in the past few months, I have secretly disguised the security of Aegis as ordinary Chinese people, and entered the Poole Creek area of St. Elmo, Ashen Croft, and Pikes Peak in Colorado, Leerwright and Virginia Town in Nevada, Orofino in northern Idaho, and I heard that it has reached Cane Town in Montana.

When he came back this time, he and Su Yi brought back 25 tons of gold bars and 11 tons of silver, and the investment began to have feedback. Coupled with the issuance of currency in the Hawei Fish, this period of time basically reversed the shortage of funds.

The placer gold is washed by the current, and all of it is deposited at the bottom of the valley and in the surrounding area. Ye Tan's perspective eyes show that the 3 to 5 cm thick placer gold covers an area of more than 900 square meters. In my heart, I understood that the mining engineer in charge of the year, George. Piltz and Joe. Juno, must have been a partner who concealed a lot of money.

"Zeng Xiaoying, soon we will have 5 million more compatriots here, eating, drinking and Lazar will have to take care of it. The point is that our industrialization has not yet taken shape, and everything is starting from scratch. How long do you think you can use this money? ”

There is gold, but Ye Tan will not announce it. He shook his head and said.

"Instructor, our brothers all know that it is not easy for you to be alone for us who are from a hard background. Therefore, if anyone dares to hide a grain of gold in private, I, Long Yue, will kill him! ”

Long Yue's eyes were red, like angry King Kong, and he said in a murderous voice.

Leaning over and taking a stack of white cotton bags, turning his head, Long Yue said loudly: "Brothers, take the bag, let's load the gold." ”

After speaking, Long Yue took the lead and jumped down first.

The 50-kilogram cloth bag is full, and the actual weight has exceeded 100 kilograms.

The Mi-26 transport plane, which carried 20 tons, flew back and forth several times before basically transporting all the gold dust back to the Giant Whale.

Two battalions were left to garrison, because 1 km west of here was the later Roberts Gold Mine.

Ye Tan continued to lead the Mi-26 transport plane to Skagüey, 200 kilometers to the north, which in later generations was also a world-famous gold mining area.

In Skagüey, Ye Tan also left a battalion of troops in charge of gold mining.

To the southwest of Juneau, to the northwest of Ardmuralti Island, there is also a Greencliff lead-zinc-gold-silver mine with 8.06 million tonnes of stockpiles. According to later generations, this gold mine has a gold content of 10.8 ounces per tonne. At least 2,470 tons of gold and more than 1,700 tons of silver can be mined. Ye Tan was also there, airdropping a battalion of troops, responsible for guarding and preparing for mining.

The arrangement was completed, and it was already past 8 o'clock in the morning. The flotilla has reached the Gulf of Yakutat. Ye Tan took the transport plane back to the Giant Whale, and it was already three hours later.

At 7 o'clock in the evening, the ships arrived in the Gulf of Alaska, and Ye Tan dropped one company and two ships of supplies on Middleton Island, Montagu Island, and Sinchinbrook Island respectively to set up a transfer station.

Immediately afterwards, the 5,000 people on the Zihong and the Soviet Union began to station in Valdez in Prince William Sound. Their task was to build a road and railway in the northeast direction according to the map given by Ye Tan.

Eight hours later, the fleet captured the port of Kodiak on Kodiak Island, capturing 3,035 Russian soldiers, as well as 2,105 Russians. 1,015 catties of gold, 1,506 catties of silver, more than 20,000 gold coins, silver dollars and precious stones, as well as 70 iron cannons of various types, a large amount of supplies, and 73 wooden boats were seized.

Six hours later, the whale arrived in Kenai with 1,000 men stationed and ordered to explore for oil and gas.

Three hours later, the Whale arrived in Anchorage, where Long Yue led 4,000 men and was ordered to build a road and rail to the northeast to Healy. Because Healy, the reserves of coal reached 700 million tons. At this stage, it belongs to the resources that Ye Tan urgently needs.

Zeng Xiaoying, with the Blu-ray, had already crossed the Aleutian Islands, arrived at Sansheng Bay in the Bering Sea, and arrived at Nome.

The tall steel ship frightened the indigenous Inuit from hiding in their homes.

On the orders of Ye Tan, a brigade was deployed to the entire peninsula of Lavdiya to establish defensive positions. A brigade was stationed along the coast of Wales and Tin City, and one of the battalions was assigned to the north at Pradhoe Bay to drill for crude oil. One brigade plus two battalions, as well as 10 converted 1,000-ton wooden boats, were stationed in Kamchatka to the island of Zeto. Two battalions of Doga were responsible for collecting rhenium ore at the volcano of Ōkō Island. A brigade of Doga was responsible for turning north to east and building a road.

At this time, Zeng Xiaoying with thousands of people was digging for gold sand on the beach of Nome.

The longer he followed Ye Tan, the more clear Zeng Xiaoying's heart was about how much pressure Ye Tan was on. When the 5 million people arrive, the monthly expenditure of one silver dollar per person will also be 5 million silver dollars.

Moreover, the soldiers are still being recruited in large quantities, and I don't know when it will be the end.
