Chapter 617 Get Rich
In May 1918, the Czech Legion and the Legion led by Kerber occupied Kazan. They found gold in the Bank of Kazan, which was reserved by the National Bank of Tsarist Russia, with a total weight of 1,600 tons.
After the Soviet army got the news of the gold, it immediately launched an attack on the White Army in Kazan. In order to keep the gold, Kerber handed over all the gold to Kolchak. Kolchak divided the gold into three parts, two of which were Before he failed, he had shipped it abroad to buy war materials, and he kept the last one in his hands for emergency needs. This batch of gold was as much as 600 tons.
Today, Kolchak is carrying this batch of gold forward in the snowstorm. The train moved slowly along the Siberian Railway, and then slowly stopped. An officer hurriedly found Kolchak, "General, the train We've run out of fuel and we can't go any further now."
Kolchak looked at the accompanying army outside the window, "Order immediately, all the soldiers get out of the car and transfer the gold to the sled, and we will use the sled to transport this batch of gold to Vladivostok."
The army immediately moved into action. The soldiers struggled to get the gold off the train and loaded it on the sleigh to continue on. But Siberia was so cold that after losing the cover of the train carriages, the soldiers gradually couldn't hold on. , More and more people were left behind, and the nostrils of the horses pulling the carts exhaled thick white gas.
With so much burden suddenly added, the horses were almost exhausted, and the horses were short of food, and from time to time some horses fell down and could no longer stand up, so the soldiers had to move the gold to other sledges, which added to the With the burden of other horses, those horses that were healthy before are about to die.
God didn't bless Kolchak either. When they were about to reach the shore of Lake Baikal, the wind and snow suddenly picked up. The big storm blew Kolchak's army to pieces, and all the horses died in the storm. There are not many troops left after the blizzard, and the remaining gold is still piled there coldly.
"General, we can't take this gold away!" The adjutant looked at Kolchak, hesitated for a while and said, "It's been so long, they should catch up, what should we do?"
"The gold can't be transported away, but it can't be left to them!" Kolchak said cruelly, "Let's hurry up and throw all the gold into Lake Baikal, and then go to Vladivostok .”
Under the scolding and scolding of the officers, the soldiers reluctantly stood up, took difficult steps, lifted the gold, and walked slowly towards Lake Baikal. The weather was so cold, the gold was so heavy, and many people died On the way to carry the gold, some soldiers did not want to suffer this kind of torture and fled to the forest.
However, in this kind of weather, in this kind of place, escaping would only delay their death a little bit, and General Winter would take them to see God.
When the gold is transported to the surface of Lake Baikal,
There were not many Kolchak's men left, and a group of people gathered together, lit some fires to warm their bodies, and then threw gold into the lake with all their strength.
Now that the surface of Lake Baikal is frozen, they have to transport the gold to the surface of the lake, and then find a way to dig into the ice or blast the ice surface. In this case, the gold will be thrown away.
At this moment, a gunshot suddenly came from the forest behind him, and Kolchak quickly heard the model from the gunshot, "This is a Taisho Type III heavy machine gun, and those dwarves actually attacked us!"
"Dodge! Then fight back!" Kolchak issued an order loudly. Unfortunately, in order to save energy, many soldiers dropped their bullets just now, and the remaining ones were too cold to fire for a while.
Gunshots sounded from different places in the forest one after another. It felt that there were a large number of Japanese troops hiding in the forest. The resistance of Kolchak's men became weaker, and they fled in all directions. They had exhausted a lot of physical strength just now. Any more strenuous exercise would be fatal.
The flat ice surface was unobstructed. At this time, it encountered a siege of many heavy machine guns, and the ice surface of Lake Baikal suddenly became a killing field. People kept being shot and fell on the ice surface, and the blood that flowed out quickly froze. They stick firmly to the ice.
Half of the people fell in the process of fleeing, and the other half fell down and couldn't get up again. The few remaining soldiers were quickly cleaned up, and even Kolchak did not escape. In a few days, the top student of the naval academy, the scientist of the Arctic expedition team, the fearless admiral of the Russian navy, and the supreme ruler of the Russian provisional government died, a few months earlier than the original history.
After there was no one standing on the ice, the gunfire around gradually stopped, and it took another half an hour before Shen Long came out of the forest. Even if there were still people who survived just now, they would not be able to survive after being frozen for so long.
Thanks to the Nine Suns Scripture, even in such a cold environment, Shen Long is still able to move freely. Just now, he has been speeding through the forest and used the machine gun he got from the little devil to solve the last obstacle in collecting gold. Now, The six hundred tons of gold were right in front of him, waiting for him to get it.
Whether it's the red army behind or the little devil's army in front, it will take a few days to arrive, but it only takes a few hours for him to pack the gold.
Quickly inspect the corpse, repair the gun, then pry open the box, and put the gold inside into the portable space. The density of gold is 19.32 tons/cubic meter, and 600 tons of gold is only 30 cubic meters. Shen Long The space was vacated in advance and all the gold was taken away.
After all the gold was installed, Shen Long threw the Dazheng heavy machine gun he used just now on the ice, and then installed explosives around it, and then detonated it. With a loud bang, those boxes containing gold, Kolcha The bodies of Ke and others, as well as the Taisho machine gun that killed them, sank into Lake Baikal.
Not long after, the ice surface began to freeze slowly again, and a thick layer of white snow fell on it, covering up the traces. Then Shen Long left calmly, and returned to his home territory with the gold.
A few days later, the pursuing army finally arrived. They lost the trace of Kolchak on the shore of Lake Baikal, so they scattered around to search.
The sky full of universities covered up most of the traces and clues, but there was still something left. They found the place where Kolchak disappeared last and found a few corpses.
Who could have done this? And where did the gold go? The commanders secretly guessed, and soon, a decisive clue was found. Some soldiers found a large number of Taisho machine gun shell casings in the nearby forest.
