"A century ago, this place was an absolute wilderness. Its desolation was probably not much different from the Siberian Iceberg. It was estimated that there was not even a single person to be seen within a radius of hundreds of kilometers, with only the occasional transport ship passing by." Yang Jing thought to himself while floating in the water.

"Perhaps one of Kolchak's men knew there was such a natural cave here, so he told Kolchak. Or maybe for some other reason, Kolchak, who was thousands of miles away, knew there was such a hidden cave in this desolate mountain, so he came up with the idea of ​​hiding the gold here."

"With Kolchak's power, he could have transported more than a thousand tons of gold here without anyone noticing. After those loyal soldiers hid the gold in this cave, they blew up the rock wall above the cave entrance, allowing the falling rocks to completely cover the cave entrance. Moreover, this is Eagle Cliff, which is easy to identify. Even if the entrance is blocked by rocks, once they turn the tide in the future, they can use the unique topographical features of Eagle Cliff to find this place, and then open the cave entrance to seize the gold inside again!"

In a short period of time, Yang Jing guessed the whole cause and effect. Although it was a guess, this was the only reason that could explain why this batch of gold appeared here and why the cave entrance was blocked artificially.

But no matter what the real reason is, whether this batch of gold is the one that Nicholas II smuggled out, it has been hidden underwater for at least 60 years, and no one has been here during this period!

Therefore, this batch of gold is currently ownerless!

What? You said the gold belongs to Russia?

No! This place now belongs to Kazakhstan. Even if it is discovered, Russia cannot take back the gold. This batch of gold should now belong to Kazakhstan.

But the question is, does Kazakhstan know about the existence of this batch of gold? Of course they don't know, otherwise they would have dug it out long ago.

So if even the Kazakh authorities didn't know there was such a large amount of gold hidden under their country's reservoirs, why would I tell them? What's wrong with me?

Although Yang Jing has been adhering to the concept of "doing what you should do and not doing what you shouldn't do" taught by his grandfather since he was a child, it depends on what the matter is. This batch of gold is obviously not within the scope of "not doing what you should do", so let's "do what you should do"!

Back then, the Russian bear robbed China a lot. When the Eight-Nation Alliance invaded China, how many treasures did the Russian bear steal from behind?

In the Russian State Museum of Oriental Art and the Winter Palace in Moscow, there are numerous bronze wares, paintings and sculptures from the Shang Dynasty to the Ming and Qing Dynasties, as well as nearly 5,000 ceramic treasures from various periods of China. In particular, there are a large number of national treasures from the Old Summer Palace in Beijing and the Forbidden City.

The Institute of Asian Ethnology in St. Petersburg, Russia, also houses more than 12,000 Dunhuang manuscripts, most of which are rare and unique copies. There is also the national treasure, the bronze acupuncture man from the Tianqi period of the Ming Dynasty, which was also snatched away from the Forbidden City by the Russian bear!

These are national treasures that are right in front of us. Even if China wants them, it can’t get them back!

Not to mention the vast tracts of land in Siberia and Central Asia that the Russians snatched from the Qing Dynasty. If you calculate the value of these territories, how much are they worth?

Will the Russians recognize these debts now? If China asks them for it, will they return it to China?

Obviously not!

Oh, you can do it on the first day, why can't I do it on the fifteenth?

Therefore, this batch of gold must fall within the scope of “doing something”!

Moreover, who can prove that this gold was smuggled out by Nicholas and hidden here by Kolchak? You say this gold is named "Romanov", will it respond if you call it?

No matter who the gold belonged to before, now this batch of gold is ownerless. I have discovered it, so I am the owner of this gold!

Yang Jing, floating on the bottom of the water, rubbed his hands excitedly. Although the amount of gold in front of him could not be determined, it was definitely not small!

It’s my turn to make this windfall!

Yang Jing was about to swim down to use the storage space to collect all the gold, when suddenly a huge black shadow rushed towards him from the corner of his eye. Yang Jing shuddered, kicked the ground with both feet, and floated to the side quickly.

The next moment, within the range of the light, a huge fish passed by Yang Jing.

It was this brief passing by that allowed Yang Jing to see clearly the identity of the fish - it was actually a giant catfish that was more than two meters long!

This thing is a killer in fresh water!

Catfish is a carnivorous fish, and for a catfish this big, to be honest, Yang Jing only needs a few bites!

Yang Jing was also shocked and broke out in a cold sweat. He never expected to see such a huge catfish in this cave!

But Yang Jing was also very curious. How did this big guy get in here? Is there another exit in this cave?

However, Yang Jing had no time to guess these questions. After the giant catfish missed the target, it turned around in the water and rushed towards Yang Jing again. Obviously, this big guy regarded Yang Jing as food!

Catfish are very ferocious carnivorous fish. Generally speaking, the hotter the weather, the more aggressive they become. Once autumn comes, they will hide deep in the water and not move much.

This giant catfish probably came here to spend the winter after the temperature got colder. As a result, Yang Jing luckily got in here and successfully disturbed the giant catfish.
