Chapter 81: Ghost Porcelain
It is really annoying that I have shipped these national treasures looted from all over our country out of the country, and those traitors who play for the tiger are not a good thing. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
However, just when the so-called people were watching the sky, just when he thought that they had obtained a batch of stolen national treasures effortlessly, this god punished them fiercely on behalf of the unsuccessful descendants.
It is said that the destination of the cargo ship carrying the national treasure was the port of Yokohama, but just as the merchant ship was passing through the Miyako Strait, the ship suddenly encountered a rare typhoon, and the keel of the whole ship was broken by the strong typhoon, and it sank to the bottom of the Miyako Strait with the treasure.
And this is only the beginning of the legendary experience of this batch of national treasure porcelain.
I don't know why, after the ship sank, I always remembered this batch of porcelain, and sent small boats to reconnoiter the location of the wreck and draw nautical charts several times, and at the end of World War II, they also took those nautical charts and specially organized a modified submarine for salvage operations.
Because the terrain near the wreck is not too complicated, the whole salvage process was very smooth, and it took them less than 72 hours to move the valuable cargo on board into the specially modified submarine, and then according to a specific route, they went north to a submarine base on Kyushu Island, ready to swallow and hide these treasures.
But the strange thing is that just after the Japanese submarine finished its operation and just left the wreck site, it suddenly disappeared from the world.
Completely gone.
The submarine did not sink, did not defect, and did not have a distress signal, he disappeared without a trace as if it had evaporated, and cut off all contact with the headquarters.
This sudden incident made Yue himself completely panicked, and the frightened Yue army later sent planes and ships to search for more than half a year, but until the end of World War II, they still failed to find any clues of this submarine!
Hearing this, Chen Bamiao and I were a little stupid, not only because of the ill-fated fate of these porcelain, but also because of the inexplicable disappearance of the submarine.
After staring at each other for a moment, I asked the shopkeeper Tong in confusion: "No, old shopkeeper, according to what you say, these porcelains should have completely disappeared, right? How did it end up in Kuantiandu's hands? Could it be that my submarine was found later?"
Seeing the question, the shopkeeper Tong nodded very seriously and said: "That's right, my courtier friend said that just over thirty years ago, this submarine was discovered by the U.S. Navy on the west coast of the Pacific Ocean. ”
Coincidentally, at that time, the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union was in full swing, and the Soviets had just finished the massive Western 81 exercises.
As the other pole of the world, the US military was not to be outdone, and later sent a naval joint formation composed of more than a dozen aircraft carriers and warships to conduct exercises in the Pacific Ocean in response.
It was also during that exercise that the American aircraft carrier squadron discovered a submarine of unknown nationality within a warning range of about 25 meters underwater.
In the highly tense atmosphere of the Cold War, it was natural that the submarine was sent by the Soviet Union to monitor the progress of the exercise, so the commander of the US Combined Fleet was very nervous, and successively sent anti-submarine aircraft, nuclear submarines, and cruisers to expel and warn.
But soon, the U.S. military discovered that the submarine was not normal.
Firstly, the tonnage of this submarine is too small and by no means a Soviet nuclear submarine, and secondly, the submarine is completely devoid of power and navigation, it is going with the flow.
Under these circumstances, the US High Command made up its mind and first sent a special force of frogmen to fix the submarine with special cables, and then dragged it into the port of Hawaii by two engineering ships.
After releasing the water in the pressure reducing valve, the Americans were surprised to find that the submarine was none other than the modified submarine that he had carried out a salvage mission in the Miyako Strait.
This discovery alarmed the United States and Japan, but later the United States, in the spirit of "bandit spirit" of whoever finds it and who gets it, ignored Japan's protests and opened the submarine itself, which had been missing for more than 70 years.
In the submarine, it was a completely unbelievable sight.
The U.S. military found that all the crew members of his submarine were still there, and each of them had turned into a dried corpse, with black faces and prominent eyes, and there was no sign of decay or death.
What is particularly strange is that each of these soldiers who died in the Japanese army still maintained the posture before death, from the dispatcher, to the commander, from the sailor who installed the mines, to the officer who was drinking coffee, everyone was deadlocked in their posts before death, maintaining the movements of the year.
It seems that in a second, this originally living person was frozen into a "sculpture", forever frozen in the appearance of death.
In addition to this, the submarine was intact, including the cargo salvaged on board, and there were no traces or records of any weapons hitting it, which could not be explained by ordinary shipwrecks.
Faced with the strange death and incomprehensible cargo, the US military immediately set up an investigation team to investigate the wreck of the submarine.
The results of the investigation were surprising.
According to the investigation, the cause of the accident was a low-level mistake that caused the submarine to enter the air valve, and this mistake further led to a series of operational mistakes by the Japanese army, and finally a shipwreck worse than the sinking of the ship.
...... At this point, the shopkeeper Tong explained his doubts to us with palpitations: "If the ventilation valve of the submarine is not opened, the internal combustion engine of the entire submarine will quickly lose the oxygen for people to breathe, and the entire submarine will be instantly deprived of oxygen! In less than a minute, all the devil soldiers were suffocated to death." ”
After listening to the words of the shopkeeper Tong, I only felt that my scalp was numb.
At the same time, I think of a submarine, dozens or hundreds of people suffocated to death in an instant, turning into black and ugly dried corpses, and there is really a disgusting feeling.
Suffocating to death, this is really a cruel way to die.
After saying this, the shopkeeper Tong told us with palpitations: "This incident is not something that can be explained by ordinary shipwrecks, because it is said that the ventilation valve cannot be opened, but it is a very naïve operation error, and the average skilled crew will never make it, so what caused this low-level mistake in operation, the Americans can't guess it, and I can't guess it." However, there is also the possibility of ......"
Shopkeeper Tong groaned so far, Chen Bamiao suddenly said: "The kind of possibility you want to say...... Is there some kind of force on the submarine that dominates this tragedy? And the series of accidents caused by these porcelains is the root of the name 'ghost porcelain'?"
In this regard, the shopkeeper Tong nodded.
However, the shopkeeper Tong also told us that this death was an opportunity, and it gave us an excellent opportunity to understand that period of history.
