"Killing even our own people!" Cui Lizhu stuck out her tongue, "In order to keep the secret, the Japanese really fought hard!"
"But, I'm curious..." Zhao Yu frowned and said, "Your dad has never been abroad, how did he find out this news about Japan? Could it be that... he is not fighting alone? Or... these are just rumors. information?"
"My dad has always been a loner, and the friends he has are all in the channels for selling stolen goods, not on the technical level." Cui Lizhu said, "As for the gossip... It is still very possible for someone to kill someone and silence them, right
"After all, it is about the fate of the country. Let alone killing a few officers, just killing a few generals is worth it, right? A secret is a secret after all. The more people who know, the easier it is to be exposed! What's more, those who were buried by them, Not only those treasures, but also a batch of priceless gold!"
"Speaking of gold..." Zhao Yu looked at his notes and said, "Why do I feel so mysterious? I still don't understand how the Russian gold got into the hands of little Japan? Also, 600 tons What is the concept of gold? How much is it worth today? If it really exists, how many people are looking for it? Is it too much of a joke?"
"Boss, don't talk about it yet," Cui Lizhu said, "This matter seems quite mysterious, but the matter of 600 tons of gold did exist! This is not a fabrication by unofficial historians, but it has been recorded in historical materials! Well... I am now Just search online and you’ll find…”
With that said, Cui Lizhu quickly searched out information about 600 tons of gold.
Unexpectedly, the origin of 600 tons of gold can be traced back to an earlier period. At that time, the First World War had just broken out. Russia at that time was not called Russia or the Soviet Union, but was called Tsarist Russia.
At that time, as the German army approached the capital of Tsarist Russia, the Tsar ordered the transfer of the national gold reserves to the rear for safety reasons, and transferred gold bars and gold coins weighing about 600 tons to the Kazan region in the east.
But who would have expected that a few years later, Soviet Russia was established, and a large-scale split occurred in the country. One of the white bandits took the lead and seized the gold reserves.
What happened next was even more dramatic. When the Red Army learned that the gold had been stolen by the White Bandits, they launched a massive attack on the White Bandits' lair. The white bandits could not resist and were retreating steadily, and were forced to retreat to China.
Later, there was a gangster attack among the white bandits, and the gold was split into two by the two groups of white bandits!
One of the white bandits who owned gold had no choice but to seek refuge with the Japanese troops stationed in Manchuria at the time. The Japanese were not good at it either. Not only did they confiscate the gold, they also sent troops to raid another White Bandit unit and recaptured the other half of the gold.
At this point, the Japanese took the 600 tons of gold as their own and completely took possession of the gold. It is said that the total value of this batch of gold was twice the national fiscal revenue of Japan at that time.
The whereabouts of the gold later became an unsolved mystery. Some people say that the Japanese troops in Manchuria were selfish and did not report it to the Japanese government. Instead, they wrote a report casually and took the gold for themselves. Part of it was divided among the officers at the command post, while the rest of the gold was hidden by them.
Some say that the Japanese troops in Manchuria handed over the gold to the government, and all of it was transferred back to Japan.
Some people even say that the gold was divided into several batches by the Japanese. Some were stored in the Northeast, some were transferred back to Japan, and some were transported to battlefields in Southeast Asia.
In short, there are many versions of legends about the whereabouts of gold. Later, the whereabouts of the gold became increasingly unclear. Not only the Soviets were looking for it, but even the Japanese were looking for it, but nothing was found about it.
It is said that after the collapse of the Soviet Union, they took Japan to the International Court of Justice for compensation due to the gold incident. However, due to the lack of crucial personal and material evidence, the Japanese government has refused to admit it.
According to expert estimates, the total value of that batch of gold today is close to 100 billion U.S. dollars, which is an astonishing wealth that can rival the country!
Who would have known that such a shocking batch of gold treasures would actually appear in Liu Dianchen's notes, which had to surprise Zhao Yu and Cui Lizhu!
No wonder the word "gold" appears repeatedly in Liu Dianchen's interrogation notes.
According to Liu Dianchen's confession, he heard rumors about this batch of gold many times when he was the director of the Japanese and Puppet Construction Department.
In fact, there have always been many different opinions among the Japanese, and few people know the truth about gold.
Even their own rumors were even more outrageous, saying that even the Japanese Prime Minister at the time relied on the gold for his election, and some people were assassinated because of the gold.
Therefore, for a long time, Liu Dianchen only thought that gold was very far away from him. However, at the high-level meeting on the eve of Japan's defeat, he accidentally overheard some clues.
He heard with his own ears that senior Japanese military officials repeatedly mentioned the words Tsarist Russia and gold, and even mentioned the Awa Maru that sank in the South China Sea. So he suspected that the gold was probably related to the Japanese army's final treasure plan.
Liu Dianchen said that he believed that there should be some remaining gold from Tsarist Russia in the Northeast.
At that time, the Japanese may have wanted to smuggle the remaining gold back to the country. But the war collapsed too quickly, and the sea, land and air had been blocked. They were worried that the gold would meet the same fate as the Awa Maru, so they decided to include the gold and other treasures in the treasure plan and hide them all in the secret fortress.
Later, through Liu Dianchen's many inquiries, he also got a more precise news. Someone saw that the guards of the Japanese Kwantung Army headquarters had appeared at the train station and secretly transported 18 boxes.
Liu Dianchen suspected that the contents of these 18 boxes were probably the original batch of Tsarist Russian gold. The gold has been lost for many years, and now less than one-third is left.
Therefore, he believed that there was a high possibility that these 18 boxes of gold were hidden by the Japanese in a secret fortress together with other treasures.
Later, when the Japanese army announced their surrender, Liu Dianchen wanted to follow the Japanese back to China to receive protection like other traitors.
However, the Japanese have no time to take care of themselves. How can anyone care about his life or death
Therefore, when the Republic of China government took over, Liu Dianchen was quickly captured by the military commander. Liu Dianchen knew that he was bound to die, so he quickly revealed the treasure plan in exchange for his life.
After the Republic of China government learned of this, it naturally paid great attention to it, imprisoned Liu Dianchen alone, and then sent a number of experts to find the whereabouts of the treasure.
However, even though they spent a lot of manpower and material resources and searched for three years, they found nothing. Finally, it was not until the Battle of Liaoshen broke out that they couldn't stay any longer, so they had no choice but to give up the search plan and secretly executed Liu Dianchen.
The death of Liu Dianchen heralded that this mysterious fortress treasure would also become an unsolvable mystery! ! !
