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

In the eyes of Westerners, when talking about shipwrecks, the first thing that comes to mind is the Titanic. But in the East, especially in China and Japan, when talking about shipwrecks, the first thing that comes to mind is the Ahamaru.

The Awa Maru is a civilian ocean freighter built by the Japanese in early 1943. Although this ship is a civilian freighter, its displacement exceeds 11,000 tons. Moreover, this ship is definitely built according to military performance and requirements. Whether in terms of scale, nature, or performance, it is a real military ship.

Because merchant ships of the same type as this ship were transformed into light aircraft carriers by Little Japan, the only one ship still has a "commercial" sign, which shows that the performance of this ship is excellent.

Just kidding, ordinary 10,000-ton merchant ships could run at a speed of 20 knots in that era? Can ordinary merchant ships still not sink during the six consecutive trips to Japan - when the Singapore route was transported to and from the army, and they were still not sinking? Can ordinary merchant ships be praised by the Japanese military as "the unsinkable ship"?

Isn’t this just talking lies with your eyes open!

But the Japanese did this, and they did it so dignifiedly. During the American warship blockade of the Western Pacific, it was such a military-style merchant ship, which was swaggering from Japan to Singapore, not only transporting a large amount of military supplies to Shiichi Deanuchi's subordinates, but also transporting the huge wealth plundered by Shiichi Deanuchi from Southeast Asia to the Japanese mainland.

However, the net of heaven is vast and unobstructed! It’s not that the time has not arrived!

The Awamaru, who successfully completed six supplies and transportation tasks, finally suffered retribution from God when it performed its transportation task for the last time.

Facts have proved that this "unsinking ship" that was highly anticipated by the Japanese military is far from the German Navy's real "unsinking ship" battlecruiser, the battlecruiser belonging to General Hippel's Battle Patrol team, was hit by eight 15-inch shells, six 13.5-inch shells and eight 12-inch shells, a total of twenty-two large-caliber shells and one torpedo, but the giant ship did not sink. The Lion-class battlecruiser, the opponent of this giant ship, was hit by seven bullets and sank.

It can be seen that the real name of "Unsinking Ship" is not something that the small Ahamaru can bear.

Perhaps it was precisely because this military-style merchant ship endured such a name that it shouldn't have been able to bear. As a result, during its last mission, the US Navy's Queen Fish and the wingboat Sea Fox only used four torpedoes, causing the Awamaru to sink in just three minutes!

And the 2,008 Japanese people who sank the Awa Maru were 2,008. These Japanese people deserved it. At that time, after the Awa Maru Maru was caught in fish, many Japanese people jumped into the sea, but they refused Americans' rescue. What should they be? Do they have a ghost in their hearts, afraid that they would tell any secrets they shouldn't say after being rescued by the Americans?

Anyway, no matter what, except for one person who was rescued, all the passengers on the Ahamaru had sank into the depths of the East China Sea with the Ahamaru. As for people like Akio Zuoshan who was performing a secret escort mission, they know how many of the dead passengers were there.

How many Japanese people died? I guess no one except Japanese people cares about the wealth that sank with the Awa Maru is said to be worth 5 billion US dollars!

According to the special issue of the American Republican newspaper from November to December 1976, the Abo Maru contained 40 tons of gold and 12 tons of platinum. 150,000 carats of industrial diamonds, and the value of large bundles of paper money was unknown. There were a total of forty boxes of artifacts, handicrafts, and gems.

According to Natos, a former observer of the United States Marine Laboratory and a member of the national diving leader, if the Awa Maru is salvaged, at least $250 million can be salvaged, and the wealth on the entire Awa Maru is worth more than $5 billion!

According to the report on Baodao on November 21, 1976, when the Abo Maru was sunk, it carried forty tons of gold ingots, twelve tons of platinum, 150,000 carats of raw gems, 40 boxes of US, UK and Hong Kong currency, 40 boxes of handicrafts, 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 your army commander Morikawa Iemitsu said that the twenty-six military trucks loaded on the Ahamaru were all loaded with gold bars...

Anyway, no matter from which perspective, when China was preparing to salvage the Awa Maru in the mid-to-late 1970s, reports around the world were saying that the Awa Maru Maru had brought about a lot of wealth, and even the legendary fossils of the Beijing/Beijing/human skull were on that ship.

But it turns out that all these reports are nonsense!

The Awa Maru, which sunk in the East China Sea of ​​China, is an extremely huge wealth, which attracts countless people to explore. For this reason, the United States, Japan and even the British have broken the threshold of China, hoping that they can use advanced underwater salvage technology to jointly salvage with China and participate in the sharing of salvages, especially Japan. It was a good time for China to restore relations. Japan was very enthusiastic about the Awa Maru Maru, but they were all rejected by China!

Because no matter from any perspective, the Awa Maru name is Chinese.

Such a large amount of wealth was very important to the poor and deserted China at that time. From 1977 to 1980, China sent the largest salvage team in history, with more than 600 divers going into the water, and even the navy came to help. Unfortunately, perhaps due to technical reasons, only some tin ingots, rubber, mercury, niobium, tantalum, mica, actinic glass and other materials were salvaged, with a total value of only more than 50 million yuan. In addition, 368 Japanese corpses were salvaged, and they were returned to the Japanese Red Cross Society by the Shanghai Red Cross Society. Not to mention the skulls of Beijingers, they did not even see one or two gold or silver.

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

The two unsuccessful salvages actually showed that Ahmaru is a huge scam.

This process can definitely be called disasters and difficulties, but compared with the gains this time, Yang Jing would rather go through such disasters and difficulties again than give up these treasures.

In fact, the two tons of gold and the two boxes of gems found before were enough to deserve the price paid for this treasure hunt. But obviously God favored him very much, and he actually found such a batch of treasures in Lavague again!

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

Not to mention, there are still a group of treasures hidden under the Catholic church in San Fernando. Moreover, according to the content written by Shun Inoue, the group of treasures in San Fernando was also hidden by this guy. If we look at the treasures of this treasure, the treasure buried under the Catholic church will probably not be much less valuable than this group of treasures.

Thinking about the treasures I just harvested, Yang Jing's heart became even hotter. He wished he could go to San Fernando to dig out all the treasures underground in the Catholic Church.

I thought about it all the time in the middle of the night, and it was not until after two o'clock in the morning that Yang Jing fell asleep.
Chapter completed!
