Treasure hunt begins in England

Chapter 606
After spending a day going through various procedures, Liang En and the others quickly entered the state of searching. Considering that the target this time was relatively large, they also called in the white knight besides Fan Meng. core team.

Now the number of White Knights has expanded to more than 600, but most of them have not yet passed the engineering test. Only a few people like this core team can gain trust and participate in the treasure hunt.

"Our target this time is the treasure lost by the Legion Bank during World War II. If we find it, the price of this treasure may be between hundreds of millions and more than a dozen euros."

After gathering all the people, Liang En and the others quickly came to a park on the outskirts of Paris, and after confirming that there was no one around, Liang En first introduced the mission.

"This doesn't sound like a small amount of money. It would definitely be a good thing if we can find this wealth." As soon as Liang En finished speaking, Louis, the leader of the White Knights, said excitedly.

In fact, Louis is now one of the main persons in charge of the White Knights Security Company, and basically no longer leads the team in person on the front line.

It's just because the situation this time is really very important, that's why he personally led the team here and once again took on the job of the front-line commander.

"That's right, this is indeed a considerable amount of wealth, but it is not an easy task to find out where these things are now." Liang En was very happy to see that morale had been raised.

According to the previous regulations, as long as they can find the treasure together, the participants can get bonuses of different amounts according to their contributions and positions, so now these people seem more excited than Liang En.

The target they were looking for had something to do with the Czech Legion after World War I, and the whole thing could start when World War I broke out.

After the outbreak of World War I, both the Czechs and Slovaks saw the hope of getting independence from the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Therefore, in 1914, the Czech expatriates living in Russia immediately formed a National Council and declared war on the Austro-Hungarian Empire the following year.

The Czechs hoped to win the trust and support of Britain and France by actively cooperating with the Allied Powers in fighting, and strive to gain independence with the help of the Allied Powers after winning the war.

In 1915, a Czech battalion was established in the Kiev Military District, which was attached to the Third Russian Army.In the autumn of the following year, the Czech Battalion was expanded into the Czechoslovak Infantry Brigade, which became the predecessor of the Czech Legion in the future.

In March 1917, when the Czechs were working hard on the front line, the February Revolution in Russia broke out. The internally and externally troubled Tsarist Russian government was overthrown, and Tsar II was forced to abdicate.

Seeing that the Czechs were so capable of fighting, the Russian provisional government that was established later promised them to absorb prisoners of war to expand their strength. Soon, the strength of the Czech Legion grew to 4.

Eight months later, the October Revolution broke out, and the Soviet Russian government immediately began peace talks with Germany and Austria. In order to force Soviet Russia to accept harsh conditions, in February 1918, the German army launched the last major battle on the Eastern Front.

Under the attack of the Germans' "Operation Boxing", the Russian army suffered a disastrous defeat. The German army, which had hardly encountered decent resistance, was invincible all the way. It once came to Petrograd, and the Soviet Russian government was forced to move its capital to Moscow.
On March 1918, 3, Lenin signed the Treaty of Brest with Germany, and Soviet Russia withdrew from the war.At this time, the Czech Legion was in an embarrassing situation, and Soviet Russia, which had withdrawn from the war, did not need them to fight on the Eastern Front.

Considering that going west is the battlefield.So after the negotiations, the Czech Legion chose to go east into Siberia to Vladivostok, and then return to Europe by ship.

Under normal circumstances, these Czechs who are eager to return home will choose to return to their hometown safely, but no one thought that there would be accidents afterwards. On May 1918, 5, at the Chelyabinsk station, the Czech regiments heading east clashed with the Hungarian prisoners of war heading west.

The local Soviet Russian regime then arrested some Czech Legionnaires for execution.In order to rescue their comrades, the Czech Army attacked the station and then occupied Chelyabinsk.

Trotsky, the Military People's Commissar of the Soviet Union, ordered that all members of the Czech Legion be disarmed and arrested.For fear of being betrayed by Soviet Russia to the Germans, the Czech Legion, which refused to disarm, turned against Soviet Russia.

In this way, with the armed conflict between the Czech Legion and the Red Army, the "Czech Legion Rebellion" recorded in history began.In the next two months, the entire Siberian Railway line was completely turned into a battlefield.

The Czech Legion moved eastward while occupying the passing cities. At the same time, with the assistance of the Czech Legion, the White Guards controlled most of the Siberian Railway from Lake Baikal to the Ural Mountains.

In the early battles against the nascent Red Army, the well-trained Czech regiments were victorious.By September, Czech Legionaries and White Guards had cleared the entire railway line of the Red Army.

A few days before the occupation of Yekaterinburg, the local Cheka executed the family of the last Tsar Nicholas II who was detained here in accordance with the order of the highest level before retreating, fearing that the tsar would become a banner of gathering various forces.

However, in the autumn of 1918, the situation began to be unfavorable to the Czechs. The Soviet Red Army turned to a counter-offensive, occupied Kazan on September 9, and occupied Samara a month later. The Czech Army suffered a lot of casualties during the battle.

In the summer and autumn of 1919, Kolchak's army collapsed under the attack of the Soviet Red Army.On November 11 of that year, the Soviet Red Army occupied Omsk, the capital of the Kolchak regime.

With the defeat of Kolchak's army, the Czech Legion retreated eastward along the Siberian Railway. During this process, the Czech Legion, which was not adapted to the Russian winter, was severely reduced.

This incident seriously hit the morale of the Czech Legion, so on February 1920, 2, General Maurice Yanan, the head of the French military mission in Siberia, who arranged for the Czechs on behalf of the Allied Powers, and Sirovie, the leader of the Czech Legion, On the order of the general, Kolchak and others in Nizhny Uginsk were handed over to the local authorities of the Irkutsk Socialist Revolutionary Party.

According to a more credible statement, at this time the Czech Legion seized the gold bricks in Kolchak's hands, and took out seven of the wagons as "road money" in exchange for a safe exit.

In the spring of 1920, units of the army were concentrated and sent to Vladivostok (Vladivostok) in the Far East, from where they were successively repatriated.

1920年1月15日，第一艘运载捷克军团的船从海参崴启航。9月2日，最后一批捷克军团士兵离开了海参崴港，于11月20日抵达布拉格。

A total of 67739 people, including family members and children, were evacuated from Russia with the Czech Army.An estimated 4112 Czech Legionnaires died in Russia.

After the legion returned to China, its leader Sirovie and many others became the backbone of the new Czechoslovak army.The members of the Czech Legion also used the gold they intercepted to form a bank called the Legion Bank.

This bank existed for decades until it was confiscated by the Soviet government at the end of World War II, and the insurance company controlled by the Duke's family also paid a lot of money for it.

"According to the information collected now, only a small amount of this wealth is the gold that was brought out, and most of it is various personal items from that year."

After briefly introducing the source of this wealth, Liang En quickly explained the details of this goal, because the insurance company had already paid for it, and these things have been transferred to Liang En's hands, but it is more troublesome to find out.
