"OK, aren't these eight gems satisfying?" Yang Jing clapped his hands and stood up.
Fatty and the others all burst into laughter. Although these eight gems were found by Yang Jing, they all felt very honored as participants. Especially Fatty, who now had more material to brag about.
Yang Jing didn't even have to think about this point, he could already tell how this fat guy would brag in the future.
"In fact, in addition to these eight gems, there seems to be another thing in this small sheepskin bag. Now, let's take a look at what it is."
"What? There's something else?"
"Haha, if something can be stored together with these precious gems, how low can its value be?"
"Jesus Christ, Boss is really getting rich this time..."
Yang Jing ignored their words and opened the sheepskin bag again, then gently poured out. After a while, a thinner, rolled-up sheepskin fell out of the bag.
When they saw the parchment scroll, their eyes widened, especially Chris and the other four.
In traditional Western culture, parchment scrolls are usually directly associated with mysterious wealth. Whether it is the legendary pirate treasure or other treasures, before they are made public, there will always be a piece or a roll of parchment scrolls...
Because this parchment scroll is protected by the sheepskin bag outside, it is still very soft even after more than a hundred years.
Yang Jing gently opened the rolled sheepskin, and suddenly, a clear map appeared in front of everyone.
"This is..." The fat man exclaimed in surprise when he saw the map, "This is a map of Siberia!"
Several people nodded, and the tall and strong Clark said, "Yes, this is indeed a map of Siberia. The lake below should be Lake Baikal, and the peninsula above should be the Taimyr Peninsula."
"Well, this is indeed a map of Siberia." George Bruce said very affirmatively.
Chris and his companions are all soldiers, so they naturally know how to read maps. Since they all said that this is a map of Siberia, the area marked on this map must be Siberia.
The map is very simple, with only a black line running from west to east and another black line branching out from the black line and going straight north to the coastline at the northernmost end of the map.
The black box running from west to east was thicker and somewhat winding, and had three obvious place names marked on it, but they were all written in Russian.
Yang Jing asked: "Who among you knows Russian?"
John Bruno said, "Let me see, I know some Russian."
Chris laughed and said, "How can you know a little Russian? You are very proficient in Russian, okay?"
John Bruno smiled shyly and looked down.
"BOSS, the place name on the far left of the map should be Omsk!" John Bruno said with certainty, pointing 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 forked and said, "This should be Krasnoyarsk. As for the place on the far right near Lake Baikal, that is Irkutsk. Well, there is also this black line branching off from Krasnoyarsk. The name of the place at the northern end is... Kolchak Island!"
Listening to John Bruno's words, an idea suddenly 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 could not avoid.
"Could it be...could it be that the legendary treasure of the last tsar did not sink into Lake Baikal with Kolchak's troops? Instead, it was secretly transported to Kolchak Island along the way by this man named Kuvaevich Antonov?" Yang Jing thought to himself.
He had no choice but to think so. There are many famous treasures in history whose whereabouts are unknown, and the treasure of Nicholas II, the last Tsar of Russia, is undoubtedly the most famous one.
After the last Russian Tsar Nicholas II stepped down, the whereabouts of 1,600 tons of gold in the Tsar's treasury were unknown. Some people said that the gold, now worth $70 billion, was hidden somewhere by people loyal to Nicholas II; others said that the gold was loaded onto a train and sunk to the bottom of Lake Baikal by Admiral Alexander Kolchak, a White Army commander loyal to him.
There are many different opinions, and no one knows where the gold, which is valuable enough to drive anyone crazy, finally ended up. But one thing is certain: when Nicholas II stepped down, the gold was loaded onto a train. However, no one can tell where those "gold trains" went.
Some people also say that the gold that Kolchak sank into Lake Baikal was not 1,600 tons, but only 500 tons, which was worth $500 million at the time. It was loaded on 28 armed trains departing from Omsk. In the end, due to the severe cold and lack of fuel, the 500 tons of gold and Kolchak's 1.2 million troops were all left in Siberia. As for the 500 tons of gold, it sank directly into Lake Baikal...
But no matter what, no one knew the whereabouts of the last Tsar’s priceless treasures.
"Brother Yang, if I'm not mistaken, this east-west black line should be the Siberian Railway. As for the black line heading north from Krasnoyarsk, it should be the Yenisei River!" Lin Dan said, pointing to the Google map on his phone, "Look, isn't this black line very similar to the direction of the Siberian Railway? And the black line heading north is basically the same as the direction of the Yenisei River."
