According to Yang Jing's analysis, it is very likely that the 1,100 tons of gold in Kolchak's hands were transported to a place in the upper reaches of the Irtysh River by a transport ship converted from a river gunboat and hidden.Gold is a very important thing, and the actual volume of so much gold is not much.According to the specific gravity of gold, 1,100 tons of gold is only about 4 meters, 4 meters and 4 meters in size, but in fact, because these gold are gold bricks, the volume must be larger than this, but it is definitely not big.If Kolchak had transported the gold in the same transport ships that the gunboats were supposed to load, three 400-ton river gunboats would have been able to carry the gold.If it is safer, send four gunboats and more than 100 elite soldiers, and escort this 1,100 tons of gold directly upstream, and people will enter the mountainous area at the junction of China and Russia without realizing it.After passing the Osk Gate, the Altai Mountains and Narem Mountains on the northeast bank of the river and the Kalba Mountains on the southwest bank of the river are excellent places to hide gold.The most important thing is that the distance from Omsk to Lake Zaisan on the Irtysh River is only 1,500 kilometers, and even if these military gunboats are fully loaded, they can run at least 20 kilometers per hour.It took only a little more than six days to arrive at Lake Zaisan from Omsk."
If Kolchak is smart enough, this route is the most appropriate for him to choose!"
Yang Jing looked at the huge map and thought silently in his heart.It's a very simple truth, calm down and think about it, in fact, you can guess Kolchak's final choice.Later generations also said that in the mountains on the Sino-Russian border, it is very likely that the gold of the last tsar of that year was hidden.It is estimated that these experts also made such inferences based on the situation at the time and the psychology of Kolchak.Regardless of whether these experts came to this conclusion or how they came to this conclusion, anyway, Yang Jing was going to wait for some more relevant information and clues to collect, and then slowly look for this batch of gold.There are a lot of clues to these materials that Niamh searched, and Yang Jing only looked at a small part of them, maybe in the remaining clues of information, he could find out some exact information.There's no rush for this, just take your time.The whole world has been looking for Nicholas II's gold for a century, and not even a single puppy, so why should I be in such a hurry?
Of course, there are many more information and clues collected from Eastern Europe, but most of them are clues about gold.During World War II, the crazy Setler not only attacked the whole of Europe, but also frantically searched for the wealth of the occupied territories.One of the big reasons why Germany dared to single out the United States, Britain, France, and the Soviet Union was that Hitler looted a large amount of wealth from the areas occupied by the German army in the early days of the war, and his madness was no worse than that of Xiaoben.It is an eternal truth that wars need financial support.In order to obtain sufficient funds for the war, every time the Germans occupied a country, they would raid the country under Setler's orders, and transport the looted goods to Germany for future emergencies.Of course, this did play a big role in the early stages of the war, otherwise where would a small Germany get so much money to invade so many countries.However, Setler later caused public outrage and was defeated, resulting in the death of many of his looted possessions, including some rare treasures, before they could be spent.But later the victorious powers found out that the whereabouts of the looted goods he had looted were unknown, and they did not know where they had gone.This was once a mystery that plagued the world.So, how much wealth did Hitler scavenge?
I'm afraid that only he himself or those who are very close to him know this.In any case, in World War II, Germany not only killed innocent people indiscriminately, but also plundered many countries' property and artistic treasures.Setler had carefully organized a special force, and their task was to carry out large-scale looting of precious cultural relics, gold and silver treasures of various countries in a special and systematic manner.At the same time, for each country occupied, its financial staff immediately seized the country's gold, foreign securities, foreign exchange, etc., and levied a staggering amount of "occupation fees" from these countries, and by the end of the war, the revenues from the "occupation fees" alone amounted to 60 billion marks, or about $24 billion.The occupying Power is also used for various reasons to compel the occupying Power to pay "fines" and "tributes".According to the statistics of relevant US agencies, this amount alone amounted to 104 billion marks, or about 40 billion US dollars!
The wealth of these two scavenging loots alone is as high as $64 billion!
That's $64 billion during World War II, not $64 billion now.You must know that in 1940, the GDP of Germany as a whole was only $56.1 billion, the GDP of the Soviet Union was only $43.3 billion, and the GDP of Britain was only $38 billion.Such a comparison shows how crazy it was back then.It is as if after the conquest of Poland, its second man, Hermann Wilhelm Goering, ordered the looting of Polish antiquities.Half a year later, it would be enough to describe it in one sentence - all the artifacts of this country have been received.This was a quote from Goering's report to Setler at the time.According to a secret German official report, by July 1944, a total of 137 railway wagons, 4,174 boxes, 20,973 pieces of cultural relics transported from Western Europe to Germany, and 10,890 paintings alone, most of which were masterpieces.The total value of Göring's collection alone amounted to 50 million Deutschmarks.Among them, there are 5,000 world-famous paintings, 160,000 jewel-inlaid treasures, and more than 2,400 ancient precious furniture.150 of these objects are rare treasures, which is literally a museum.All of these treasures are well documented, and those that are not in the books are innumerable.However, the whereabouts of most of this wealth, except for a small part that were recovered by various countries after the surrender of Germany, are unknown.Therefore, from the end of World War II to the present, the clues of treasure have become the most important thing for treasure hunters all over the world.Treasure hunters all over the world pay far more attention to treasures than other legendary treasures, because there are so many treasures, and Hitler certainly wouldn't have concentrated so much wealth in one place to hide, so there are hundreds of guesses about the hiding places of treasure in Europe alone!
Although most of these speculations have been confirmed to be false, people are still happy to continue to search.Even when an expert or treasure hunter claims to have deciphered a certain code and then obtained the exact coordinates of a certain location, the German government will welcome these people to dig with their hands held high, of course, after so many years of searching, it is not without gains.After the war, many treasure hunters did find some hidden treasures, but the number was very small, more of them were fake locations, and some of them had already touched the edge of the treasure, but the treasure that was about to appear would disappear in the blink of an eye.Therefore, many people speculate that these treasures are actually still guarded.After the war, for example, many experts suspected that a significant part of it was hidden in the Austrian Alps, where Allied treasure hunting teams searched several times.In 1945, a Swiss guide claimed to have seen the remains of an airplane and its pilot in the mountains.It turned out that in 1943, Mussolini was at the end of his rope, and in order to keep him alive, Hitler had issued a secret order to transport the equivalent of 100 million US dollars worth of gold by plane, but the plane crashed on the Alps on the Adamero peak.The personnel arrived here under the guidance of the guide, and found that a moving river of ice had obscured the site, and the planes, pilots, and gold were long gone.However, in 1949, the Austrian police found a man named Lanz very suspicious.The reason why he was suspicious was that he had a strange list sewn into his clothes, which listed things worth more than 100 million US dollars, such as Swiss francs, US dollars, gold, diamonds, and chips, and the one who signed this list was Stinferferretz, the former general of the German Junior Stormtrooper.However, Lanz was tight-lipped about the origin and purpose of the list, and the Austrian police tried every means to pry his mouth open, but the man killed himself the day after he was arrested.It can be seen that for a long time after the war, there were still die-hard loyalists guarding some treasures.Of course, it's more about treasures that you know are hiding a lot of wealth but can never find them, such as the legendary "wolf's den"!
Of course, this "wolf's den" does not refer to the "wolf's den" of Hitler's secret base camp, but a hidden place dedicated to storing wealth.Legend has it that in 1938, a "wolf's den" was built in a small city called Ketelzan on the banks of the Grubel River in Sitler, Poland, which is located at a depth of more than 20 meters underground, surrounded by more than 80 field fortifications and minenets and death belts.In order to ensure the absolute secrecy of the "Wolf's Den" project, not only were all the more than 10,000 workers involved in the construction of the project shot to death, but even all the designers who formulated the "Wolf's Den" project plan were sent to a plane, nominally to transport them to western Germany, but the plane suddenly exploded when it landed, and no one on the plane survived.It is said that there is a mint and a bank in the "Wolf's Lair", which houses a staggering amount of gold, silver, and various treasures.However, in the more than a decade after World War II, neither the former Soviet nor the Poles have been able to find this mysterious "wolf's den" built by Hitler, nor have they ever found a compilation of the inventory.The French archaeologist Hans agrees with the historian Hauls, and points out that this "wolf's den" is an underground vault that many historians call "Sitler's treasure".It is proved that since April 1945, nearly 1,000 trucks have been responsible for transferring the property of German banks to that mysterious "wolf's den".Among the transferred possessions were huge quantities of gold and silver jewelry, gold bars, precious stones, rare works of art, as well as the private and ecclesiastical property of the chieftains, as well as property looted from Italy, Yugoslavia, Greece and the Czech Republic, with a total value estimated at 700 billion francs, or about $140 billion!
But whether it is the "Wolf's Den" or the famous "Amber Palace", they are all places that have not been found until now.Of course, it's not just that all the treasure hiding locations have not been found, people all over the world have been looking for more than 70 years, and some of them have been found ps: bow and thank you for the tips of 100 for "coffee powder" and "very lazy fish".
