1293 tons of gold
The huge A-font library fortress can accommodate more than 3,000 soldiers, and more than 4,000 people are filled! There are lounges, medical rooms, kitchens, ammunition warehouses everywhere in the tunnels like a maze... There are even two wells hidden in separate rooms here. If you take a sip, it will be a clear mountain spring.
The long journey on the sea made these Russian soldiers miserable, and the scarce supply of supplies made any officer feel a headache. This time, the A-font library was undoubtedly a treasure house for them.
I opened a storage room and was exclaimed, "Food! So much food! And fresh water ghosts, what's this? Why are there so many thorns..."
People in the bitter and cold place of pineapple have never seen it before. The soldiers didn't know how to peel it and chew it on their mouths. The big blue mango was not yet fully ripe, and the soldiers vomited in one bite.
There are also lychees and mangosteens, which are delicious foods that soldiers have never seen before.
Amami Oshima itself has a tropical climate. These fruits are specialties of the island and are not rare at all, but these strange ingredients are simply incredible for Tsarist Russian soldiers from far north.
For these carnivorous war bears, what attracted them the most were the various canned meat and fine wines that were standard in the new army. The Russian soldiers of Tsarist Russia were desperate to see these things. No matter how the officers scolded them, they had to pour wine into their mouths and drink them secretly, even if they were whipped.
"Report to the commander! Discover the gate of the vault! Discover the gate of the vault..."
Hearing the sound, Exon and his friends moved quickly, led by the guards, walked quickly into the depths of the fortress, and passed through trenches and tunnels. At the end of a concrete tunnel, people saw the thick iron door.
"Explode him! It should be here..." The engineer began to arrange detonator explosives on the iron gate, and then a huge bang, the iron gate collapsed inward, and all the hinges were blown to pieces.
After the smoke and dust dissipated, the engineers rushed forward and began to crush the cement blocks and iron doors. After the iron plate wooden door with a thickness of more than 30 cm was lifted out, people were surprised to find that there was an iron door ten meters away blocking everyone's footsteps.
"Engineering! Then blast me..."
Boom boom boom... The low explosion sounds came one after another. Molière, who was waiting outside the tunnel, suddenly had a strange feeling. He found that the dark tunnel was like the mouth of a monster, constantly spitting out flames and smoke.
Three iron gates were shattered, and at this time, the expectant voice sounded, "My God! O my God! Kingsoft! We have found the treasure house..."
Red-haired Ekson rushed into the tunnel like an arrow, avoiding the cement blocks on the ground with one foot deep and one foot shallow, and soon entered the core treasure house.
Even though Eckson was born as a high-ranking nobleman, he was very knowledgeable since childhood and thought he would not be moved by any wealth. However, today's scene made his powerful heart unable to bear it. The golden light in this room directly aroused the most primitive human beings.
Gold! Gold is everywhere! The thick corner iron shelves are densely packed with gold ingots, all of which are of uniform specifications.
The whole room is more than 150 square meters, and the six huge corner iron shelves in the middle are more than two meters high, and all of them are placed on them are gold.
Ekson held up a gold ingot with trembling hands, with inscriptions and patterns from the Ryukyu Mint printed on it, and ten kilograms of Arabic numerals and Chinese characters underneath.
"My God? So much?" Molière exclaimed in fright as soon as he walked into the vault, "More than ten tons, absolutely more than ten tons..."
The officers who were entering one after another looked at the picture in front of them in a daze, touching the gold with greedy hands, and everyone wanted to take all the gold for themselves.
Exon put the gold back on the shelves and said in a low voice, "The guard company guards the vault gate and counts it immediately..."
The guards with live ammunition rushed in and drove the soldiers from other units out of the vault. Then several logistics officers began to count the number one by one.
Exon and Molière retreated to the corner and dared not interfere with their work. Molière trembled with his hands and handed a cigarette to the major, "Guess how much gold is there? Ten tons? Eleven tons?"
Axon took a sip of cigarettes, but was choked and coughed desperately, "I don't know... I only know that the guards here are so strict, they must be the total vault of the Chinese people. The gold here must be stored to stabilize the credit of the banknotes!"
"No wonder Xiao Letian dares to print banknotes in the Qing Dynasty. Since he has so many precious metals as stabilizers, he certainly has the confidence to promote banknotes. China's wealth is really not something we can imagine..."
Molière held the cigarette butt with his lips while taking out a map from his pocket and spreading it in his hands. Then he spitted the cigarette butt on the ground with a sip of it. "This is the map of Tangwan Mountain that has just been replenished. This is the area of the A-font library... And on the hillside of Tangwan Mountain, there are such independent fortresses from four directions in the north and southwest..."
"What does this mean? This means that there is absolutely more than one treasure house. Our intelligence completely underestimates the value here... How could a vault that can be protected by such a strong fortress have only ten tons of gold!"
The light of gold burned all the reason, and Exon was no exception. He crushed the cigarette butt and nodded fiercely. "Yes, the other four fortresses cannot exist in isolation, otherwise the scale would not be that large, so the other fortresses also have treasures!"
"Maybe it's gold, silver, and cultural relics and jewelry that are easy to be cashed in! Xiao Letian is a master of making money. The wealth he accumulated from the Chinese people finally belongs to us today!"
"Come... report everything that happened here to the Commander-in-Chief. I ask for more troops. We must eat up the entire Tangwan Mountain and take all of this wealth away..."
The gold cast was very easy to count. More than a dozen logistics officers quickly calculated the total number of gold ingots here. After comparing them three times, the final result was delivered to Exon.
"Report to the commander! There are a total of 11,235 gold ingots in the vault, all of which are uniformly cast ten kilograms... There are a total of 11.23 tons of gold!"
Hiss... There was a sound of gasping in the vault. Everyone present was stunned. There was so much gold in just one vault. How could Xiao Letian be so rich? This ancient and mysterious country once again showed his wealth to these robbers, and gold completely detonated the invaders' **.
"Fight! Get ready for battle! Completely occupy the Tangwan Mountain! Take away all the wealth here..." The roaring sounded like thunder in the vault.
