"Okay, aren't these eight gems quite enjoyable?"
Yang Jing clapped his hands and stood up.
The fat man laughed out loud.
Although these eight gems were purchased by Yang Jing, they all felt quite honored as participants.
Especially the fat man, now he has more material for bragging.
At this point, Yang Jing didn't have to think about it at all, he could know how this fat man would brag in the future.
"Actually, in addition to these eight gems, there seems to be another thing in this little sheepskin bag, so let's see what it is."
"What?
Something else?
” "Haha, what can be stored with these precious gems, how low can the value be?"
"Jesus Christ, the boss is really rich now" Yang Jing ignored their words, but opened the sheepskin bag again, and then gently poured it outward, and after a while, a thinner, rolled sheepskin fell out of the bag.
Seeing this parchment roll, the eyes of several people widened, especially Chris and the four of them.
In traditional Western culture, parchment scrolls are generally directly associated with mysterious wealth, whether it is a legendary pirate treasure or other treasures, before they are made public, there will always be one or a roll of parchment This parchment is protected by the parchment bag outside, so it is still quite soft even after more than 100 years.
Yang Jing gently opened the rolled sheepskin, and suddenly, a clear map appeared in front of everyone.
"This is," the fat man exclaimed in surprise at the sight of the map, "this is the map of Siberia!"
” Several people nodded, and the tall Clark said: "That's right, this is indeed a map of Siberia, the lake below should be Lake Baikal, and the peninsula above should be the Taimyr Peninsula." ” "Well, this is indeed a map of Siberia."
George Bruce said with certainty.
Chris: They are all soldiers, so they naturally have a set of maps to read, and since they all say that this is a map of Siberia, then the area marked on this map must be Siberia.
The map is very simple, with only one black line running from west to east and another black line branching off from the black line that leads north to the northernmost coastline of the map.
The black box from west to east was thicker and more tortuous, and it was marked with three obvious place names, but all in Russian.
Yang Jing asked, "Which of you knows Russian?"
” John Bruno said: "Let me see, I know some Russian. ” Chris smiled: "Where do you know a little Russian, are you very proficient in Russian?"
” John Bruno smiled coyly and looked down.
"Boss, this place name on the far left of the map should be Omsk!"
John Bruno pointed to the place name on the far left of the map, marked with a black sickle hammer head, and said with great certainty.
Then he pointed to the spot where the two black lines diverged and said: "This should be Krasnoyarsk, and as for the point on the far right, near Lake Baikal, it is Irkutsk."
Well, there is also this black line that branches off from Krasnoyarsk, and the name of the place at the end of the northern end is Kolchak Island!
” Listening to John Bruno's words, a thought suddenly flashed in Yang Jing's mind, although he felt that this idea seemed unreasonable, but the map in front of him was a hurdle that could not be bypassed.
"Could it be that the legendary treasure of the last tsar did not sink in Lake Baikal with Kolchak's troops?
Instead, let this named Kuvaevich Antonov be secretly transferred to Kolchak Island on the way?
Yang Jing thought secretly.
He couldn't help but think so.
There are many famous treasures in history that are missing, and the treasure of the last Tsar of Russia, Nicholas II, is undoubtedly one of the most famous.
After the fall of the last Russian Tsar, Nicholas II, the whereabouts of 1,600 tons of gold in the Tsar's treasury were unknown.
Some say that the gold, now worth $70 billion, was hidden somewhere by people loyal to Nicholas II; It is also said that all this gold was loaded onto a train by the commander of the White Army, Admiral Alexander Kolchak, who was loyal to him, and sank to the bottom of Lake Baikal.
There are many opinions, and no one knows where the gold ended up with enough value to drive anyone crazy, but one thing is for sure, when Nicholas II stepped down, the gold was loaded onto the train, but no one can say where the "gold train" went.
Some people also say that the gold that Kolchak sank to Lake Baikal at that time was not 1,600 tons, but only 500 tons, worth 500 million dollars at that time, and was loaded on 28 armed trains from Omsk, and in the end, because of the severe cold and lack of fuel, in the end these 500 tons of gold and Kolchak's 1.2 million troops were all left in Siberia, and the 500 tons of gold sank directly into Lake Baikal In any case, the whereabouts of the priceless treasures of the last tsar are ultimately unknown.
"Brother Yang, if I'm not mistaken, this black line running east-west should be the Trans-Siberian Railway, and as for the black line that branches off from Krasnoyarsk to the north, it should be the Yenisei River!"
Lin Dan said as he pointed to Google Maps on his phone, "Look at it, is this black line very similar to the direction of the Trans-Siberian Railway?"
And this black line to the north is basically the same as the trend of the Yenisei River. ” Yang Jing grabbed the sheepskin map and looked at Lin Dan's mobile phone, and sure enough, the two black lines on the map were really similar to the Google satellite map.
Yang Jing nodded and was about to say something, when the fat man on the side pointed to the sheepskin map and said, "Old Yang, there are words on the back of this sheepskin map!"
” Yang Jing flipped over the map and found that there were several paragraphs written on the back corner, but they were all in Russian.
He happily handed the parchment map to John Bruno, who immediately looked at it carefully.
"Omsk was occupied by the Red Army, and the general ordered us to set off immediately, but when we reached Tomsk, the temperature plummeted, and a large number of soldiers froze to death.
And the most desperate thing is that the fuel for the armed train has also run out. ” "The general ordered us to replace the sleds, pull the sleds and continue to move forward, and repeatedly told us to take care of the gold and works of art, which the general said was the foundation of our comeback."

"When we arrived in Krasnoyarsk, we couldn't walk, the damn cold had frozen a large number of horses to death, and even we, the best equipped guards, had frozen to death many soldiers.
I told the general that I couldn't go on like this, and the general reprimanded me harshly. ” "After two days of repairs in Krasnoyarsk, the general suddenly came to me and told me to take a part of the people north along the Yenisei River and take with them those precious works of art.
The general said that he would continue to go east with his troops, as well as the gold, to attract the pursuit of the Red Army.
The general told us to advance along the Yenisei all the way to the Tunguska area and continue north after the beginning of the spring of the next year, where the Red Army could not find us. ” "In order for us to send this precious work of art out safely, the general left us a lot of precious fuel, warm supplies and food, and I took fifty soldiers who were most loyal to His Majesty Nicholas II, escorted two carts of precious works of art, and set out overnight along the Yenisei River all the way north.
As for the general and those comrades, I wish you a safe journey."
John Bruno stumbled through those passages, and finally, he said: "It's Kuvajevich Antonov." ” "Kuvaevich Antonov?"
The fat man frowned and said to himself, and then said to Lin Dan: "Xiao Linzi, can you check this guy named Kuvaevich Antonov?"
” When the fat man said this, Lin Dan had already begun to fiddle with his mobile phone, and after checking it for a while, he shook his head and said: "There is very little information about this person, there is almost no information about this person on WikiLeaks, Google and Yahoo, but this person is mentioned here."
This Kuvaevich Antonov, most likely, was the head of the Guards of Admiral Kolchak and one of Kolchak's most trusted officers. ” The fat man was stunned for a moment before he said: "Lao Yang, you see that this map involves Kolchak, and this Kuvaevich Antonov also mentioned Kolchak's gold and artworks, you say, is this map possible to be related to the legendary treasure of Nicholas II?"
” Yang Jing nodded and said, "It's not possible, if I'm not wrong, this map should involve part of the last Tsar's treasure!"
” After a pause, Yang Jing paced in the room, "First of all, the whereabouts of those golden treasures of Nicholas II, which is now most recognized by the world, was sunk to Lake Baikal by Kolchak, and it is said that there are submarines that once found golden rectangular metal blocks at the bottom of the lake, but they were not salvaged for various reasons. ” "Combined with what Kuvajevich Antonov wrote, we can now almost conclude that Kolchak did indeed retreat from Omsk at that time with a large amount of gold and some precious works of art, and as a result, severe cold and snowstorms greatly hindered his retreat.
Kolchak, as a good leader, would certainly not put all his eggs in one basket, so he arranged for Kuvaevich Antonov to lead a small group of soldiers to the north with those more precious works of art, and he himself continued to advance east with gold and a large army, so as to at least ensure that some of the treasures did not fall into the hands of the Soviet Red Army.
As a result, Kolchak did not run away in the end, and his subordinate Kuvaevich Antonov is likely to send those precious works of art to their final destination, that is, the island that Kolchak discovered on his expedition to the Arctic when he was young, and that island was named after Kolchak at that time, but it was changed to Rastorguev Island in 1937!
” After a pause, Yang Jing said excitedly: "This sheepskin map in our hands is very likely to be a real treasure map of the last tsar!"
”
