After returning to the hotel, Yang Jing couldn't wait to get into the space.

Those golds are easy to say, and they have long been placed in a corner of the space. In that corner, all the gold is placed.

Yang Jing was interested in the four teak barrels.

Through perspective skills, Yang Jing already knew that the four teak barrels were filled with whale oil, and there was a well-sealed iron box in the whale oil.

The use of whale oil to preserve things was already in place when the Nordic Vikings were prevalent. Whale oil was a universal oil before oil appeared. Especially for Western lighting, whale oil and gas were used the most before oil was discovered.

However, the cost of making gas is too high and transportation is very inconvenient, so many Westerners use whale oil for lighting.

Especially in the early 19th century, steam engines were promoted and applied, and manpower was greatly liberated. At the same time, scientific and industrial knowledge increased explosively, people's motivation and enthusiasm for learning increased simultaneously, and the demand for indoor lighting rose sharply. This made the price of whale oil rise, and whaling became a lucrative business.

At that time, many emerging industrial countries such as the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, France, Norway, etc. had participated in large-scale whaling activities.

When it comes to whaling in modern times, ten out of ten people will think of the country of Japan, but who knows that the whaling industry in Japan in small Japan is really a tiny witch compared to the United States two hundred years ago.

The United States ranked first in the world in the number of whalings from the 1920s to the 1960s.

The forty years from 1820 to 1860 was the "golden period" of the American whaling industry. During that period, the development of the domestic economy and the rise of the industrial revolution all drove the huge demand for whale oil. Smart humans also used whales more diversely. Celtic products include soaps, skin care products, lubricants, women's waistbands, etc., which can be said to be full of their uses.

At that time, the income brought to each crew member by catching a whale was equivalent to the salary of a land worker for half a year. Women even pretended to be men and got on the boat to work, and many girls dreamed of marrying the captain of a whale boat. To some extent, whalers have become the embodiment of light, and the whaling industry has become the most respected profession.

Around 1846, nearly half of the fishing boats in the United States were engaged in the whaling industry, and 735 of the 900 whaling ships in the world were from the United States.

It is conceivable how developed and crazy the American whaling industry was at that time.

According to statistics, in the 19th century alone, the conservative estimate of the number of whales worldwide exceeded 4 million, with an average of 11,000 whales hunted every day! This number is several times more whales than the number of whales in all countries around the world that allow whaling to catch each year!

In that crazy era, whales were almost hunted and killed.

If it weren't for the American Colonel Konon Drake's first modern industrial oil well in Pennsylvania, and in the following century, oil replaced whales, probably now they are extinct creatures.

It can be said that Colonel Connon Drake is the savior of all whales in the world, and his photos should be hung most in the mysterious whales in the oceans around the world...

Whale oil is not only an excellent lighting oil, but also an excellent anti-corrosion oil. Hundreds of years ago, many precious items that needed to be preserved for a long time were brushed with whale oil to achieve the effect of anti-corrosion and moisture, and the effect is no worse than paint.

Especially among the many wrecks salvaged in the Greenland waters and the North Atlantic waters in recent years, many precious things have been preserved intact because they are soaked in whale oil.

The Japanese obviously also knew the function of whale oil, so they used buckets of whale oil to preserve these iron boxes.

He opened the whale oil with consciousness and gathered the whale oil together to form a huge oil bubble and let it hang in the space. Then Yang Jing took out the four iron boxes.

These four iron boxes are made of ordinary steel plates, with hidden locks on them. Because they are soaked in whale oil, these iron boxes are very well preserved.

The dark lock on the box cannot help Yang Jing. In the space, Yang Jing's consciousness is the supreme god.

But after opening these boxes, Yang Jing, who had great hope, was completely disappointed.

I originally thought that these boxes contained some precious information. After all, before opening these boxes, Yang Jing had already seen through his perspective skills that the box contained some paper products. At that time, Yang Jing thought it was important military information for the Japanese army at that time.

In modern times, even some confidential military information during World War II was quite valuable. After opening it, Yang Jing was disappointed to find that these things were just some ordinary letters of home - letters between senior military officers stationed in Rabaul, Solomon Islands and other places and the family members of Japan.

Although "the war is for three months, and the letters of your family are worth ten thousand gold", it is too much for you senior Japanese officers to use this method to transport letters of your family?

However, Yang Jing still looked at these family letters with his consciousness with some unwillingness. He took them apart one by one. When he saw that they were indeed family letters, he immediately cleared out the space.

Yang Jing also knows a little Japanese, which is due to the fact that when he was studying in London, a professor who taught modern economics was from Japan. So at that time, Yang Jing specially learned a little Japanese in order to learn enough credits, but it was only limited to understanding some Japanese texts. If he was asked to speak Japanese, Yang Jing would only say "I cry a few times" and "Sanyounara"... Of course, he could understand "Yafen"...

After flipping through dozens of letters from home, Yang Jing completely lost his patience and was about to clear out all these messy things out of the storage space.

But inadvertently, Yang Jing caught a glimpse of a thick envelope with the Japanese words "だいほんえい" printed on the surface. Just so happened that Yang Jing really understood what these Japanese meant.

だいほんよい, translated as "base camp".

"Is this letter sent to the base camp?" Yang Jing's heart moved slightly and thought to himself.

The letters opened in front made Yang Jing understand that the "First Xingxing Pill" ship was departed from Rabaul, docked through Lorengao, and then continued to prepare to head north to the Caroline Islands more than a thousand kilometers away, and returned to the local area via Guam. As a result, not long after leaving the port, it was airstrike from the US-Australia coalition forces and was directly bombed and sunk here.

"However, how could communication with the base camp be so backward?" Yang Jing was really puzzled. Radios during World War II were already very developed. If you have any questions, just typing the keyboard, radio waves can instantly transmit messages to the other end of the earth.

Even some extremely confidential drawings are often transported by powerful battleships or cruisers or even more hidden submarines. It is absolutely impossible to transport them with such transport ships.

But this letter from Rabaul to the local base camp in Japan was mixed with some letters from home.

Yang Jing shook his head slightly and opened the letter with consciousness.

The envelope was very thick and there were a lot of things in it. It was a shame that Yang Jing could only recognize a small part of it.

However, what surprised Yang Jing was that these more than 30 pages of letter paper did not seem to be from one person, but at least there were more than ten different handwritings. And on the last page, Yang Jing saw the names of several familiar senior Japanese officers.

Today's village is the only one in the temple, the temple is the first town of Shan County...

These names are all senior officers of the Japanese military during World War II. Why did their names appear in this letter together?

Because she couldn't quite understand what was written in this letter with more than 30 pages, Yang Jing was going to wait a while to see if she could buy a Japanese dictionary.

Behind the letter is a very detailed large-scale chart. There are only a few scattered islands and reefs on the chart. Among them, in the middle is an archipelago composed of four islands of different sizes. A few words are marked in Japanese - the Maug Islands.

And on this chart, there are also signatures of those people.

Obviously, this letter is not like a correspondence in the general sense, but more like a petition, because almost all of the signatures are senior Japanese officers.

Needless to say, Imamura Jun is the highest official of the Rabaul base.

And Soichi Tanouchi is more famous than Imamura, and the biggest one is not a little bit bigger.

During the Japanese invasion of China, Soichi Shinai was the Japanese surveillance army! In 1937, Soichi Shinai was appointed as the commander of the Beichina Expeditionary Army, and ruled about 150 aircraft including the First and Second Army, including eight divisions and the Aviation Corps. It was under the leadership of this guy that the Japanese army occupied the entire North China and even defeated the provincial capital of Jin Province.

However, the famous Taierzhuang Battle was the man who fought against this guy, which caused this guy who was invincible across North China to suffer a big loss.

Later, when the Southeast Asian War broke out, Teraunuchi was awarded the title of "Commander-in-Chief of the Southern Army", commanding 11 Japanese divisions and a total of 250,000 people to attack Southeast Asia, and occupied the entire Southeast Asia. In 1943, he was awarded the position of marshal by the Japanese Emperor.

Unlike Imamura who was both Rabaul's commander, after Teraunuchi occupied the entire Southeast Asia, the entire Southeast Asia was under his rule.

As for Zhengxiang, Shanxian, he is not an ordinary person. Although he is only a lieutenant general, he was the commander of the Kaohsiung Garrison Office in Wandao during World War II.

In addition to these three people, there are also Japanese admirals like Akiyama Gate. This guy was once the commander of the sixth base team in Japan and the commander of the garrison of Kwajalin Island in the Marshall Islands.

Morikami, a Japanese lieutenant general, and commander of the special base of the Ogasawara Islands.

Tanaka Lai San, a Japanese lieutenant general, and commander of the 13th base in Myanmar.

Rear Admiral Nishida, commander of the garrison of Parri Island, Marshall Islands.
