Chapter 798 Where did the eleven hundred tons of gold go?

There is a lot of evidence in history that before Nicholas II was imprisoned, he indeed smuggled out a large amount of gold from the Petrograd treasury, and that Yang Jing was left behind by Kuvayevich Antonov I have also seen relevant hints in the treasure map.

Therefore, part of the wealth accumulated by the Romanov dynasty for three hundred years has already fallen into the hands of Yang Jing, but Yang Jing did not get any of the huge amount of gold in that huge wealth.

After the death of Nicholas II and Kolchak, the whereabouts of the huge amount of gold became a mystery. For a century, countless people worked hard for this legendary gold. No matter who it is, they all want to get this batch of value. City of gold.

There are even many professional archaeologists who have joined in, and some people have even summed up six places where the gold may be hidden.

Some say that the gold was buried somewhere underground in Kazan, some say that the gold was sunk by Kolchak into Lake Baikal, and others say that the gold was buried in a village near Krasnoyarsk.

Anyway, Yang Jing looked at it and dismissed it.

In fact, from the historical timeline, we can roughly analyze where the gold should flow.

In March 1917, the February Revolution broke out and Nicholas II was imprisoned. Prior to this, as many as 1,600 tons of gold and numerous Winter Palace treasures had been smuggled out of Peter Gullah. Because everyone knows that Kolchak is a diehard Nicholas II, so the ultimate successor of this huge wealth should be Kolchak.

Since the treasures of the Winter Palace have fallen into the hands of Yang Jing, it is obvious that the treasures of the Winter Palace must have passed through the hands of Kolchak. Therefore, the batch of 1,600 tons of gold should be It also fell into the hands of Kolchak.

What is certain is that the batch of gold has arrived in Kazan, and the black and white photos stored in the Kazan Bank vault in the data are enough to prove this.

Kazan was liberated in August 1918. In other words, before that, the batch of gold had already been shipped to Omsk. It is impossible for the White Army to give this batch of gold to the Bolshevik Party for nothing.

Omsk was the headquarters of the White Army at that time, and Kolchak led millions of White Army soldiers who finally defended Omsk. If Nicholas II was still alive, maybe it would be really difficult for the Red Army to take down Omsk. Unfortunately, Nicholas II was secretly executed in July 1918.

The Tsar died, and both Kolchak and the White Army lost their allegiance. This was obviously a huge blow. It is estimated that this was the reason that led to a sharp decline in the combat effectiveness of the White Army and was successfully defeated by the Red Army. took down Omsk.

Only fifteen months passed between the liberation of Kazan and the capture of Omsk by the Red Army. In November 1919, Omsk was occupied by the Red Army. Kolchak decided to lead his troops across Siberia, which was more than 6,000 kilometers away. , fled to the Pacific coast, where he sought the support of Japan in order to make a comeback.

According to the information collected by people sent by Niam, there were more than 500,000 troops following Kolchak at that time, accompanied by 750,000 exiles who opposed the Bolsheviks and loved the Tsar, including bishops, monks and Nuns and others accounted for 270,000; in addition, there were more than 200,000 noble ladies and their children, and the total number exceeded 1.2 million!

Kuvayevich Antonov also mentioned in the message on the treasure map that after Omsk fell, more than 1.2 million people led by Kolchak traveled along the Trans-Siberian Railway. They retreated to the east, but when they retreated to Tomsk, more than a thousand kilometers east of Omsk, they were hit by a snowstorm and severe cold.

Omsk was occupied by the Red Army. The general ordered us to leave immediately, but when we reached Tomsk, the temperature dropped sharply, and a large number of soldiers were frozen to death. The most desperate thing is that the armed train Fuel was also exhausted.

The general ordered us to replace the sleds and continue to move forward with horses pulling the sledges, and repeatedly asked us to keep the gold and artworks safe. The general said that this was the basis for our comeback.

When we arrived in Krasnoyarsk, we couldn't walk anymore. The damn cold had frozen a large number of horses to death, and even our best-equipped guards had frozen to death a lot of soldiers. I told the general that I can't go on like this, and the general reprimanded me severely.

This is the autographed message left by Kuvayevich Antonov on the back of the treasure map, which is enough to prove that Kolchak had the collection of the Winter Palace and a large amount of gold in his hands at that time.

Although Antonov did not mention how much gold Kolchak had in his hands, Yang Jing had figured out how much gold Kolchak had in his hands when he arrived in Tomsk from the information collected by Niam.

It should be five hundred tons of gold!

This data is a number deduced by Yang Jing based on a lot of information.

Because there are a lot of materials that directly indicate a number - twenty-eight armed escort trains!

This twenty-eight armed escort train is not mentioned in one document, but in more than a dozen documents from different sources. Therefore, this crucial twenty-eight armed escort train The data can almost certainly be very real.

When Kolchak retreated from Omsk to Tomsk, a total of 28 armed escort trains escorted the gold!

Calculated according to the load-carrying capacity of the train at that time, a train was calculated based on the maximum load-carrying capacity of 50 tons. The heavy armor and weapons of this armed escort train accounted for more than half of the load-carrying capacity, that is to say , The remaining load capacity of one carriage of this armed escort train is definitely no more than 20 tons!

Twenty-eight armed escort trains can only carry a maximum of 500 tons of gold!

In other words, when Kolchak retreated from Omsk, he only took away the collection of the Winter Palace and 500 tons of gold. Of the 1,600 tons of gold, the remaining 1,100 tons of gold were either left in Omsk, or were transported by Kolchak to hide elsewhere! Because Kolchak couldn't take away the entire 1,600 tons of gold!

Yang Jing would not think about the five hundred tons of gold that Kolchak took away. Although many people said that the 500 tons of gold were finally sunk by Kolchak in Lake Baikal, Yang Jing absolutely did not believe it.

Maybe a part, or even just a very small part of the 500 tons of gold was brought to Lake Baikal and eventually sank to the bottom of the lake, but it is absolutely impossible for the vast majority of the 500 tons of gold to be destroyed under such bad weather conditions. brought to Lake Baikal.

The average winter temperature in Omsk is minus 22 degrees, but when Kolchak's troops arrived in Tomsk, a strong cold current swept across Siberia, and the temperature dropped to More than sixty degrees below zero!

Kolchak's troops did not arrive at Lake Baikal until the end of February 1920, and from November 13, 1919 to February of the following year, within three months, Kolchak had more than one hundred and twenty There are only 200,000 troops left in the army of 10,000 people who survived!

Even people can't survive, who cares about the gold?

Just like when a person walks in the desert and finds that gold and clear water are placed together, people will choose clear water instead of gold. In the extreme environment of Siberia at that time, people would rather carry more food than take a gold brick.

Yang Jing estimated that there was a great possibility that the five hundred tons of gold bricks were buried by Kolchak in a random place, and a small part of them might stay forever with the white army who went and died. on the Siberian wasteland. But it is only impossible that the five hundred tons of gold were all transported to Lake Baikal and then sank.

Kolchak is not brainless, he would not do such a mindless thing. One is that it was simply impossible to transport so much gold to Lake Baikal by manpower. Another more important reason is, even if Kolchak is brain-dead, are all his soldiers brain-dead?

Is it possible to take the five hundred tons of gold without taking the food, just to transport the five hundred tons of gold from Tomsk, two thousand kilometers away, to Lake Baikal for fun?

This is pure nonsense!

Therefore, the five hundred tons of gold did not reach Lake Baikal!

It's just that where the gold is still there or where it was buried concentratedly is hard to say, and there is no clue pointing to the five hundred tons of gold. Therefore, Yang Jing completely gave up on the five hundred tons of gold.

Even if he has the skill of the sky eye, where would you ask him to find such a big Siberia?

The only gold that is possible to find now is the 1,100 tons of gold that Kolchak hid before leaving Omsk.

These golds are also the focus of Yang Jing's attention.

According to the evidence summarized above, Yang Jing is almost certain that of the 1,600 tons of gold that was transported from Petrograd that year, 1,100 tons of gold had been captured long before Omsk was brought down by the Red Army. Kolchak secretly hid elsewhere.

It's just that the total weight of this batch of gold is as high as 1,100 tons. Where can such heavy gold be transported? How can it be transported away?

It is obviously impossible to transport by train. At that time, although the Trans-Siberian Railway passed through Omsk, it was the only railway. That batch of gold was transported from the west through this railway, so it is naturally impossible to transport it back. And to transport eastward, are there so many wagons available, otherwise Kolchak would not just take away 500 tons of gold.

In other words, the 1,100 tons of gold can only stay in Omsk, or it will be transferred to other places by other means.

What means of transport might have been used to transport such a weight of gold?

Yang Jing stared blankly at a huge, large-scale map of the Soviet Union in front of him, and finally set his sights on the river running from north to south of Omsk.
