Chapter 247 Treasure Map of the Last Tsar
"OK, aren't these eight gems enjoyable?" Yang Jing clapped his hands and stood up.

Fatty and the others all laughed.Although these eight gemstones were bought by Yang Jing, as participants, they all felt quite honored.Especially Fatty, now he has more material to brag about.

On this point, Yang Jing didn't need to think about it at all, and he knew how the fat man would brag in the future.

"In fact, apart from these eight gems, there seems to be something else in this small sheepskin bag. Next, let's take a look at what it is."

"What? Something else?"

"Haha, how can the value of things that can be stored with these precious gems be so low?"

"Jesus Christ, BOSS is really rich now"

Yang Jing ignored their words, but opened the sheepskin bag again, and then gently poured it out. After a while, a thinner, rolled sheepskin fell out of the bag.

Seeing this parchment, several people's eyes widened, especially the four of Chris and the others.

In traditional Western culture, things like parchment scrolls are generally directly related to mysterious wealth. Whether it is legendary pirate treasures or other treasures, there will always be one or a scroll before it is made public. Scrolls
Because this sheepskin roll is protected by the sheepskin bag outside, it is still quite soft even after more than 100 years.

Yang Jing gently opened the rolled sheepskin, and immediately, a clear map appeared in front of everyone.

"This is." Fatty cried out in surprise when he saw the map, "This is the map of Siberia!"

Several people nodded, and the tall and burly Clark said: "Yes, this is indeed a map of Siberia. The lake below should be Lake Baikal, and the peninsula above should be Taimyr Peninsula."

"Well, this is indeed a map of Siberia." George Bruce said with certainty.

Chris and the others are both soldiers, so they naturally have a way of looking at maps. Since they all agree that this is a map of Siberia, 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 diverging from the black line, going north all the way to the coastline at the northernmost tip of the map.

The black box running from west to east is relatively thick, with some twists and turns, and three obvious place names are marked on it, but they are all written in Russian.

Yang Jing asked, "Which of you understands Russian?"

John Bruno said: "Let me see, I know some Russian."

Chris smiled and said, "How do you know a little bit of Russian? Are you proficient in Russian?"

John Bruno smiled shyly and looked down.

"Boss, the place name on the far left of the map should be Omsk!" John Bruno pointed to the place name marked with a black sickle and hammer on the far left of the map.

Then he pointed to the place where the two black lines diverged and said: "This should be Krasnoyarsk. As for the place on the far right near Lake Baikal, it is Irkutsk. Well, there is this A black line that diverges from Krasnoyarsk, and the place name at the northern end is Kolchak Island!"

Listening to John Bruno's words, an idea flashed through Yang Jing's mind. Although he felt that this idea seemed unreasonable, the map in front of him was a hurdle that he couldn't get around no matter what.

"Could it be... Could it be that the legendary treasure of the last tsar did not sink in Lake Baikal with Kolchak's troops? Instead, this man named Kuvayevich Antonov was secretly transported to Gao Did you go to Erchak Island?" Yang Jing thought to himself.

Can't stand him thinking otherwise.History has seen many famous treasures go unaccounted for, and the treasure of the last Tsar of Russia, Nicholas II, is undoubtedly one of the most famous.

After the last Russian Tsar Nicholas II stepped down, the whereabouts of 700 tons of gold in the Tsar's treasury were unknown.Some say that the gold, now worth $[-] billion, is hidden somewhere by people loyal to Nicholas II; others say it was all hidden by Admiral Alexander Kolchak, the commander of the White Army who was loyal to him. The train sank to the bottom of Lake Baikal.

There are different opinions, and no one knows where the gold that is worth enough to make anyone crazy ends up, but one thing is certain is that when Nicholas II stepped down, the gold was installed The train, but no one can tell where those "golden trains" are heading.

Someone also said that the gold that Kolchak sank to Lake Baikal at that time was not 28 tons, but only 120 tons, worth [-] million U.S. dollars at the time, and was packed on [-] armed trains from Omsk In the end, due to the severe cold and lack of fuel, the [-] tons of gold and Kolchak's [-] million troops remained in Siberia. As for the [-] tons of gold, they sank directly into Lake Baikal.
But in any case, no one knows the whereabouts of the priceless treasures of the last tsar.

"Brother Yang, if I'm not mistaken, the black line going east-west should be the Siberian Railway, and the black line going north from Krasnoyarsk should be the Yenisei River!" Lin Dan said while pointing to Google Maps on his mobile phone, "Look, is this black line similar to the direction of the Siberian Railway? And this black line going north also follows the trend of the Yenisei River Basically the same."

Yang Jing grabbed the sheepskin map and looked at Lin Dan's phone. 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 beside him pointed to the sheepskin map and said, "Old Yang, there are words on the back of this sheepskin map!"

Yang Jing turned the map over, and found that there were several paragraphs written on the corner of the back, but they were all in Russian.

He happily handed the sheepskin map to John Bruno, who immediately looked at it carefully.

"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 The fuel is gone too."

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

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

"After two days of repairing in Krasnoyarsk, the general suddenly found me and said, let me take some people up the Yenisei River and bring those precious works of art. The general said that he would take the troops and The gold continued to go east to attract the pursuit of the Red Army. The general asked us to advance along the Yenisei River to the Tunguska area for repairs, and then continue northward after the spring of next year. The general said that the Red Army could not find us in that area .”

"In order for us to safely send out this batch of precious works of art, the general left us a lot of precious fuel, warming materials, and food. I brought fifty soldiers who were most loyal to His Majesty Nicholas II, Escorted two carts of precious works of art and set off overnight, heading north along the Yenisei River. As for the general and those comrades, I wish you a safe journey."

John Bruno stumbled and read out those few paragraphs. Finally, he said, "The signature is Kuvayevich Antonov."

"Kuvayevich Antonov?" The fat man frowned and said to Lin Dan, "Xiao Linzi, can you look up this guy named Kuvayevich Antonov?" ?”

When the fat man said this, Lin Dan had already started fiddling with his mobile phone. After checking for a while, he shook his head and said, "There is very little information about this person. WikiLeaks, Google, and Yahoo have almost no information about this person, but This person has been mentioned here. This Kuvayevich Antonov is likely to be the head of Admiral Kolchak's Guards and one of Kolchak's most trusted officers. "

The fat man was stunned for a while before he said: "Old Yang, you see that this map involves Kolchak, and this Kuvayevich Antonov also mentioned Kolchak's gold and artworks, You said, is this map possibly related to the legendary treasure of Nicholas II?"

Yang Jing nodded and said, "It's not possible. If I'm not mistaken, this map should involve part of the last Tsar's treasure!"

After a pause, Yang Jing paced around the room, "First of all, the whereabouts of the gold treasures of Nicholas II are now most recognized by the world as being sunk by Kolchak in Lake Baikal, and it is said that there are still Submarines once found golden rectangular metal blocks at the bottom of the lake, but they were not salvaged for various reasons."

"Combining these things written by Kuvayevich Antonov, we can now almost conclude that Kolchak did retreat from Omsk with a large amount of gold and some precious works of art. As a result, the severe cold and blizzard greatly hindered his retreat. As an excellent leader, Kolchak certainly would not put all his eggs in one basket, so he arranged for Kuvaye Vich Antonov led a small group of soldiers and headed north with more precious works of art, and he himself continued to move east with gold and large troops, so that at least part of the treasures would not fall into the Soviet Union. As a result, Kolchak did not run away in the end, and his subordinate, Kuvayevich Antonov, probably sent those precious works of art to the final destination, which is Gol The island that Chak discovered when he went to the Arctic expedition when he was young, and the island was named after Kolchak at that time, but it was changed to Rastorguev Island in 1937!"

After a pause, Yang Jing said excitedly: "The sheepskin map in our hands is very likely to be a real treasure map of the last tsar!"
