After returning to the company and having supper, Yang Jing arranged for personnel to move all the information from the bank's vault to his apartment on Fifth Avenue. Anyway, after solving Vivian's illness, Yang Jing has no major problems recently.

Everything in the company is going on in an orderly manner. Under the leadership of Henry, David and Niam are now becoming more and more prominent. Even without Yang Jing and Old Mike, these three troikas can still develop stably and rapidly with KY Investment Fund.

So Yang Jing simply stopped going to the company, but studied the information at home.

"...... The activities of the Bolshevik Party in Petrograd are becoming increasingly rampant. To be on the safe side, from September, His Majesty the Tsar began to arrange the transfer of the treasury and the property of the Hermitage. The person responsible for the transfer of wealth was His Majesty the Tsar's most trusted subordinate, Sidney Reilly, the British diplomat Robert Bruce Rockhart and the Baroness of Rockhart's mistress Mora Budberg. With their assistance, at least 1,600 tons of gold in the treasury and many precious antique artworks in the Hermitage were transferred to eastern Russia to prevent them from falling into the hands of the Bolshevik Red Army..." This information is the earliest timeline information among these information, and Yang Jing put this information first.

All of these materials were written in Russian. In desperation, Yang Jing could only transform into an amateur translator again, with one hand information and the other hand the English-Russian dictionary, and translated one word at a time.

This is what Yang Jing did when he was looking for treasures from Japan, but now he is still very comfortable to do.

This information was found by Niam who asked someone to spend money to bribe the Leningrad Archives officials and then found it from the archives' bottom-up information. It records some things about the Bolshevik Party before and after the February Revolution. Among them is the response measures taken by Nicholas II at that time to the rise of the Bolshevik Party.

Yang Jing identified this information, which was indeed a confession from the head of the guards of the Winter Palace. It was a confession obtained by the Bolsheviks on March 8, 1917, after the February Revolution was launched on February 23, the Russian calendar.

Moreover, these information can be matched with some information from later generations. At that time, the Winter Palace was in turmoil, and the Bolsheviks had already gained a huge advantage in Petrograd, and even Nicholas II could not easily walk out of the Winter Palace.

However, Nicholas II certainly did not want the huge wealth accumulated by the Romanov dynasty to fall into the hands of the Bolsheviks, so he secretly arranged for his loyal subordinates to secretly transport the wealth out of Petrograd.

At least what Yang Jing knew was that in the underground vault of a bank in Kazan, there were mountains of gold bricks piled up. Those gold bricks were said to have been transported from Petrograd.

Yang Jing once saw a black and white photo, which was filled with gold in the underground vault of a bank in Kazan.

"......... In the last five months of 1916, the railway transported the grain to the army could only meet the needs of more than half. Many soldiers on the front line, even the wounded, could not receive food and gauze for a few days. In Petrograd, Moscow and other industrial cities, there was a large amount of food, meat and fish in Siberia, Ural, Caspian Sea, Volga and Don Rivers, and in this year alone, the deteriorated grain was stored for 150,000 cars. The shipping was not good. The Baltic Sea and the Black Sea had long been blocked by Germany and the Ottoman Empire. The connection between our country and the allies was mainly through Murmansk, Arkhangelsk and Vladivostok...."

"...... Among all the belligerent countries, our country has the longest front line. The war was held on 50,000 square kilometers of our territory. Three million refugees were homeless and lacked food and clothing. Many people lost their lives during the war, were injured, disabled and died of plague. By March 30, 1917, our country had lost 8.4 million people. Many soldiers' families were unsupported and their lives were very painful..."

"...After the outbreak of the war, my country's agricultural production was seriously affected. The population who were able to work in the army reached 15 million, mainly from rural areas. During the war, in the fifty provinces of Europe and Russia, the rural male labor force was reduced by half, the arable land area was reduced by 10 million Russian mu, the cultivated livestock was reduced by one third, and the grain harvest was reduced by one quarter. In particular, the difficulty of transportation interrupted the connection between urban and rural areas, and in the market, grain, meat, sugar and other agricultural products were in decline. By December 1916, Peterge

Le can only get 14% of the planned supply of food, while landlords, rich peasants and merchants have a large number of daily necessities, hoarding goods, and speculating. Food often disappears from stores and is sold at high prices on the black market. In the summer of 1916, the price of food in Petrograd increased by 1 triple compared with before the war, and meat and sugar are particularly expensive. The majority of people are on the line of hunger, complaining, and have to fight. In 1915, there were 684 peasant uprisings caused by hunger in Europe and Russia. In the first five months of 1916, peasant uprisings reached 510 times..."

These data are the second data, formed in mid-April 1917. These two data seem to be nothing alone, but once they are linked, you can immediately understand why Nicholas II transferred secrets of hidden secrets in Petrograd, that is, Leningrad, St. Petersburg, and wealth hidden in the Winter Palace to other places.

During the Romanov dynasty, Russia's capital was not Russia but Petrograd, so the wealth of the Romanov dynasty was mostly concentrated in the city on the east coast of the Gulf of Finland. Later, with the outbreak of World War I, the situation in Russia became more and more difficult. In addition, the mediocre Nicholas II was very good at suppressing the domestic people, so the Bolshevik Party, which had been preparing for a long time, was finally ready to cause trouble.

Nicholas II naturally saw this. To be on the safe side, he began to spread the wealth that was concentrated in Petrograd, just because he was worried about being taken away.

As a result, Nicholas II himself probably did not expect that he would step down so cleanly. On the first day of the February Revolution, he was driven off the stage in shame and the whole family was imprisoned. Moreover, he probably did not expect that Mr. Vladimir would be so cruel. Their family was imprisoned for less than a year and a half before being sent to the guillotine in Yekaterin Arbor...

To explain in modern terms, Nicholas II is a typical example of "wealth but lifeless spending", "money is there, people are gone"...

But no matter what, combining these two documents can directly prove that Nicholas II did secretly transport out some precious antique artworks from the Winter Palace and the 1,600 tons of gold in the Petrograd treasury.

And at least these wealth arrived in Kazan!

In the subsequent information, Yang Jing also found information found by Niamtou from a very sensitive department in Moscow. These information were all information left by the cheka of that year. Several of them were from the files before and after the execution of Nicholas II's family in 1918, and there were also the confession of Nicholas II.

Chika is a very famous organization. After the October Revolution in Russia, under the direct instructions of Vladimir, "fight against all counter-revolutionaries with extraordinary means". A special department was established by the Polish-Belarusian aristocrat Derrensky, whose full name is "The All-Russian Anti-Revolutionary and Slow-off Work Extraordinary Committee", abbreviated as the All-Russian Anti-Revolutionary Committee. Chika is the abbreviation of Russian.

The famous KGB in later generations was predecessor of the Cheka.

The information of Cheka is naturally of a very high level of confidentiality. It is not easy for Niam to take advantage of the collapse of the Soviet Union to obtain these information.

However, it is precisely because these materials are all from archives established after the Cheka was established that the credibility of these materials is still very high.

However, even Nicholas II's confession did not say where the treasures were transported. In that confession, Nicholas II only said that after the wealth was transported out of Petrograd, the first destination was Kazan. According to Nicholas II's confession, if the situation improved at that time, the wealth would be transported back to Petrograd. Once the situation continued to deteriorate, the escort officers would hand over the wealth to General Kolchak, who was in Omsk at the time, as agreed in advance.

Nicholas II also said in his confession that he did not expect the situation to worsen so much, so he only knew that the wealth was transported to Kazan, but where did General Kolchak receive the wealth? Even Nicholas II himself did not know.

Yang Jing, who had searched for two days and one night in these materials, just stopped the clues here.

However, Yang Jing knew very well that the wealth must have fallen into Kolchak's hands. At least one thing can be guaranteed that those precious antique artworks from the Winter Palace fell into Kolchak's hands. After all, the treasures that Yang Jing seized from Siberia were the ones that Kuvaevich Antonov, the leader of General Kolchak's guards, secretly transported to the Temer Peninsula according to Kolchak's order.

As for the batch of 1,600 tons of gold, Yang Jing didn't know how much Kolchak got. But Yang Jing could also analyze the comments from Antonov's treasure map. At least Kolchak got a batch of gold at that time, otherwise Antonov's message would not have mentioned that Kolchak led the military and civilians and gold to continue advancing eastward.

In other words, at least part of the 1,600 tons of gold fell into Kolchak's hands. As for whether it was all, I don't know.

Looking at the piles of old information, Yang Jing couldn't help but feel a little headache.

In the end, he put all the information into the space and prepared to slowly analyze the information when he had time.
