However, the content recorded in this notebook made Yang Jing finally understand that the "Awa Maru scam" turned out to be true.

In the eyes of Westerners, when mentioning a shipwreck, I am afraid that the first thing that comes to mind is the Titanic. But in the East, especially in China and Japan, the first thing that comes to mind when it comes to the sunken ship is the Awamaru.

The Awamaru was a civilian ocean-going freighter built by Japan in early 1943. Although this ship is a civilian freighter, it has a displacement of more than 11 thousand tons, and the ship is definitely built in accordance with military performance and requirements. In terms of scale, nature, and performance, they are all military ships in the true sense.

Because merchant ships of the same model as this ship have been transformed into light aircraft carriers by Japan, only this ship still bears the "commercial" brand, which shows the excellent performance of this ship.

Are you kidding me, can an ordinary 10,000-ton merchant ship run at a speed of 20 knots in that era? Ordinary merchant ships can travel between Japan and Singapore six times to transport supplies for the army, and they can be bombed and attacked by American torpedoes. Can they still remain unsinkable? Can ordinary merchant ships be hailed as "unsinkable ships" by the Japanese military?

Isn't this just talking nonsense with your eyes open!

But the little devil did just that, and he did it so grandly. During the American warship blockade of the Western Pacific, it was such a military version of a merchant ship that swaggered back and forth from Japan to Singapore. It not only delivered a large amount of military supplies to Touichi Terauchi’s men, but also to Touichi Terauchi. The huge amount of wealth that his subordinates raided from Southeast Asia arrived in Japan.

However, Skynet is restored without leaking! It's not that it's not time to report!

The Awamaru, which successfully completed six replenishment and transport missions, finally met God's retribution when it performed its last transport mission.

Facts have proved that this "unsinkable ship", which was placed high hopes by the Japanese military, is far from the real "unsinkable ship" Sedlitz battlecruiser of the German Navy. In that famous battle of Jutland, this battlecruiser belonging to the battle cruiser of General Hipper suffered a total of eight rounds of 15-inch shells, six rounds of 13.5-inch shells and eight rounds in that naval battle. 12-inch shells, a total of 22 large-caliber shells and one torpedo hit the giant ship, but the giant ship did not sink. The Lion-class Battlecruiser Queen Mary, which was the opponent of this huge ship, exploded and sank after only seven shots.

It can be seen that the real name of the "unsinkable ship" is not something that the small Awamaru can bear.

Perhaps it is precisely because this military version of the merchant ship has taken on such a name that it should not have been able to bear. As a result, during its last mission, the US Navy's "Queenfish" and the wingman "Sea Fox" It took only four torpedoes to sink the Awamaru in just three minutes!

Along with the sinking of the Awa Maru was the 2008 Mingyue himself. These Japanese people deserve it. After the Awamaru was hit by a fish, many Japanese people jumped into the sea, but they refused the rescue of the Americans. Isn't this what it deserves? Do they have a ghost in their hearts, fearing that they should tell what secrets they shouldn't tell after being rescued by the Americans?

In any case, all the passengers on the Awamaru ship, except for one person, were rescued, and all the others sank in the depths of the East China Sea with the Awamaru. As for people like Akio Zuoyama who performed the secret **** mission, the ghost knows how many passengers are still dead.

It is estimated that no one except Japan cares about how many people died. People are more concerned about the five billion dollars worth of wealth that sank with the Awa Maru!

According to the November-December 1976 special issue of the US "Republican", the Awa Maru was loaded with 40 tons of gold and 12 tons of platinum. Industrial diamonds are 150,000 carats, the value of large bundles of banknotes is unknown, and there are forty cases of artifacts, handicrafts, and gems.

According to Natos, the former marine laboratory observer and national diving leader, if the Awamaru is salvaged, at least 250 million US dollars worth of property can be salvaged, and the wealth on the Awamaru exceeds 5 billion. Dollar!

According to a report on Treasure Island on November 21, 1976, when the Awa Maru was sunk, it contained 40 tons of gold ingots, 12 tons of platinum, 150,000 carats of unprocessed gems, several bundles of U.S., British and Hong Kong currency, and four handicrafts. Ten boxes, 3,000 tons of tin ingots, 2,000 tons of tungsten, 2,000 tons of aluminum ingots, 800 tons of titanium, and 2,000 tons of rubber!

On May 2, 1979, Japan's "Yomiuri Shimbun" reported that at that time your army chief Iemitsu Morikawa said that the 26 military trucks loaded on the Awamaru at that time were all gold bars... ..

In any case, when China was preparing to salvage the Awamaru in the mid to late 1970s, reports from all over the world were saying how much wealth Awamaru had brought, even the legendary North /京/Human skull fossils are also on that ship.

But it turns out that all these reports are nonsense!

The Awa Maru that sank in the East China Sea of ​​China is a huge wealth, which attracts unknown people to explore. For this reason, the United States, Japan, and even the British have kicked the threshold of Huaxia, hoping that they can use advanced underwater fishing technology and Huaxia to jointly salvage, and participate in the sharing of salvage, especially in Japan. Japan was very enthusiastic about the Awamaru during the good period of the restoration of relations between Japan, but they were all rejected by China!

Because no matter how you look at it, Awamaru is Chinese.

Such a large amount of wealth was too important to China, which was poor and white at the time. From 1977 to 1980, Huaxia dispatched the largest salvage team in history, with more than 600 divers launching operations, and even the navy came to help. Unfortunately, it may be due to technical reasons. In the end, only some tin ingots, rubber, mercury, niobium tantalum, mica, photochemical glass and other materials were salvaged, totaling 5,418 tons, with a total value of only more than 50 million yuan. In addition, 368 Japanese bones were salvaged and returned by the Shanghai Red Cross to the Japanese Red Cross. Not to mention the skulls of Beijingers, but I haven't seen a couple of gold or silver.

After the first salvage, several years later, China and the United States once again started salvaging operations in the nearby waters, but still did not find gold.

The two unsuccessful salvages actually demonstrated that the Awamaru was a huge scam.

Of course, perhaps the Awa Maru at the time indeed pulled a lot of precious cultural relics looted from China on Hong Kong Island, even including the four skull fossils, but these treasures included a piece of gold that was supposed to be transported to Japan. Platinum and gems did not ship in San Fernando, because these items were intercepted by Inoue Toshi!

From Yang Jing's point of view, the intuitive Inoue Toshi did not ship these invaluable wealth is a very correct choice! Otherwise, these treasures will have to sink into the bottom of the sea forever with Awamaru, and I won't catch so many treasures here!

No matter how the Awamaru scam was formed, these treasures will eventually be spent in China. This is the most important thing!

This sixth big iron box is probably the core of the seven iron boxes. Not only is the treasures contained in it the most precious, but also because there are materials that record the origins of these treasures in this box.

Especially the notebook that Inoue Shun left behind is the most intuitive explanation of how these treasures were buried here.

As for the seventh large iron box, the contents in it are indeed all porcelain, but most of these porcelains are the best porcelains of the Kang, Yong and Qian dynasties of the Qing Dynasty.

The finest official kilns of the Kang, Yong and Qian dynasties of the Qing Dynasty are actually very valuable. Among the top ten most expensive modern Chinese porcelains at auction, four of the porcelains are from the Kang, Yong and Qian dynasties. The value is high.

In the last iron box, there are a total of 16 fine porcelains from the Kangxi and Qianlong Dynasties. These porcelains can also be matched with those materials.

Although these porcelains cannot be compared with the treasures in the sixth iron box, they are definitely national treasures.

These porcelains were looted from Southeast Asia, and these porcelains were also the porcelains that were rewarded by the three emperors of Kang, Yong and Qian, the Qing Dynasty to various countries in Southeast Asia.

Those countries in Southeast Asia enshrined these gifts as heirlooms, but they didn't expect to be served by the looted little devil. And Shun Inoue chose the best best among them, and hid them here.

Obviously, Toshi Inoue is definitely a very deep understanding of Chinese culture. That's right, although this guy serves the Emperor of Japan, he has to admit that in archeology and appreciating treasures, this guy can definitely be called a great man.

The little devil didn't know how many porcelains he had looted in Southeast Asia, but this guy was able to choose the best among the many looted porcelains, which is enough to prove the guy's profound skill in porcelain. Yang Jing even thought that if this guy is still alive now, I am afraid that the Fourth Master Cai Yi will have to bow down to this guy after seeing this guy.

Thinking of this, Yang Jing thought of the fourth master Cai Yi again.

If Master Four sees these precious porcelains, I am afraid that I will be too happy to close my eyes for three days and three nights...

The consciousness retreated from the storage space, and Yang Jing only felt relaxed and happy.

In treasure hunting, the most important thing is not the process, but the final "inspection" moment!

Although the process of treasure hunting is also very interesting, where is the fun of checking the final harvest? It’s like visiting the Philippines this time. Eight locations have been around for twenty days, and there were earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanic eruptions and super typhoons in the middle. If it wasn’t for your luck, this treasure hunt would probably be the only one. Can't go home.

This process can definitely be called disaster-prone, but if compared with the harvest this time, Yang Jing would rather go through such a disaster-prone process again, and he is unwilling to abandon these treasures. UU reading www.uukanshu.com

In fact, the two tons of gold and the two boxes of gems found earlier were enough to be worthy of the price paid for this treasure hunt. But obviously God is very fond of himself, and he has found such a batch of treasures in Laoag!

This batch of treasures alone is enough to be called "a huge harvest"!

Not to mention, there are a number of treasures hidden under the Catholic church in San Fernando. And judging from what Inoue Shun wrote, the treasures of San Fernando were also hidden by this guy. If you look at the treasures of this treasure, the treasure buried under that Catholic church might not be more valuable. This batch of treasures is much lower.

Thinking about the treasures I just harvested, Yang Jing's heart is even hotter. I wish it dawned now, and then hurry to San Fernando to dig out all the treasures under the Catholic Church.

I thought about it in the middle of the night, and it wasn't until two o'clock in the morning that Yang Jing fell asleep.

In the early morning of the next morning, the group had their breakfast, and they walked onto the helipad on the roof of the hotel and took the helicopter to San Fernando in the south. Happy Tycoon
