There is a lot of evidence in history that before Nicholas II was imprisoned, he indeed smuggled a large amount of gold from the Petrograd treasury, and Yang Jing also saw relevant prompts in the treasure map left by Kuvaevich Antonov.

Therefore, the Romanov dynasty accumulated three hundred years of wealth, part of which had fallen into Yang Jing's hands, but Yang Jing did not get any of the huge amount of gold in that huge wealth.

After the death of Nicholas II and Kolchak, the whereabouts of that huge amount of gold became a mystery. In a century, countless people have worked hard for this legendary gold, and no matter who it is, they want to get this priceless gold.

There are even many specialized archaeologists who have joined in, and some have even summarized six places that may have hidden the gold...

Some say that the gold is buried in an underground fortification in Kazan, some say that the gold is sunk to Lake Baikal by Kolchak, and some say that the gold is buried underground in a village near Krasnoyarsk...

Anyway, Yang Jing looked at it and was disdainful.

In fact, we can roughly analyze where that batch of gold should flow from the historical timeline.

In March 1917, the February Revolution broke out and Nicholas II was imprisoned. Before that, as many as 1,600 tons of gold and numerous collections of the Hermitage had been secretly transported out of Petrograd by Nicholas II. Because everyone knows that Kolchak is the loyalist of Nicholas II, the final takeover of this huge wealth should be Kolchak.

Since the treasures of the Winter Palace have fallen into Yang Jing, it is obvious that the treasures of the Winter Palace must have come through Kolchak's hands, so the batch of gold, which is as many as 1,600 tons, should also fall into Kolchak's hands.

What is certain is that the batch of gold has arrived in Kazan, and the black and white photos stored in the Kazan bank vault in the information are enough to prove this.

Kazan was liberated in August 1918. That is to say, before that, the batch of gold had been shipped to Omsk. The White Army could not have given this batch of gold to the Bolshevik Party in vain.

Omsk was the headquarters of the White Army at that time, Kolchak led millions of White Army troops, who finally czar, to defend Omsk. If Nicholas II was still alive, it might be difficult for the Red Army to conquer Omsk. Unfortunately, Nicholas II was secretly executed in July 1918.

The Tsar died, and both Kolchak and the White Army lost their loyalty. This was obviously a huge blow. It is probably this reason that led to the sharp decline in combat effectiveness of the White Army and the Red Army successfully captured Omsk.

It took only fifteen months between the Red Army from the liberation of Kazan to the capture of Omsk. In November 1919, Omsk was occupied by the Red Army. Kolchak decided to lead his troops across Siberia, which was more than 6,000 kilometers and fled to the Pacific coast, where he sought support from Japan in order to make a comeback.

According to the information collected by Niam, there were more than 500,000 troops following Kolchak at that time, accompanied by 750,000 exiles who opposed the Bolsheviks and nostalgia, including bishops, monks and nuns. In addition, there were more than 200,000 noble ladies and their children, with a total of more than 1.2 million!

The message of Kuvaevich Antonov's treasure map also mentioned that when Omsk fell, more than 1.2 million people retreated east along the Siberian Railway under the leadership of Kolchak, but when they retreated to Tomsk, more than a thousand kilometers east of Omsk, they were attacked by snowstorms and severe cold.

"Omsk was occupied by the Red Army, and the general ordered us to set off immediately, but when we arrived at Tomsk, the temperature dropped sharply and a large number of soldiers were frozen to death. What was most desperate was that the fuel of the armed train was also exhausted.

The general ordered us to replace the sled, pull the sled with horses and continue to move forward, and repeatedly told us to keep the gold and artworks. The general said that this was the foundation for our comeback.

When we arrived in Krasnoyarsk, we couldn't walk anymore. The damn cold had frozen a large number of horses to death. Even our best-equipped guards had frozen many soldiers to death. I told the general that we could not continue like this. The general scolded me harshly."

This is the handwritten message left by Kuvaevich Antonov on the back of the treasure map, which is enough to prove that Kolchak had the collection of the Hermitage and a large amount of gold at that time.

Although Antonov did not mention how much gold Kolchak had mastered, Yang Jing had already figured out how much gold Kolchak had when he arrived in Tomsk in the information collected by Niam.

It should be five hundred tons of gold!

This data is a number inferred by Yang Jing based on numerous data.

Because there are many information that directly indicate a number - the Twenty-Eighth Armed Escort Train!

This "28th-Certificate Armed Escort Train" was not mentioned in one document, but in more than a dozen documents from different sources. Therefore, the data on this key "28th-Certificate Armed Escort Train" can almost be confirmed to be very real.

When Kolchak retreated from Omsk to Tomsk, a total of twenty-eight armed escort trains escorted the gold!

According to the load capacity of the train at that time, a train was calculated based on the maximum load capacity of fifty tons. This kind of armed escort train, with heavy armor and weapons alone, accounts for more than half of the load capacity. In other words, the remaining load capacity of a carriage of this kind of armed escort train is definitely more than twenty tons!

The 28th Festival armed escort train can only carry up to five hundred tons of gold!

In other words, when Kolchak retreated from Omsk, he only took away the collection of the Hermitage and 500 tons of gold. The remaining 1,100 tons of gold in the 1,600 tons of gold were either left in Omsk or transported by Kolchak to another place to hide! Because Kolchak could not take away the entire 1,600 tons of gold!

Yang Jing would not think about the 500 tons of gold that Kolchak took away. Although many people say that the 500 tons of gold was eventually sunk in Lake Baikal by Kolchak, Yang Jing definitely didn't believe it.

Perhaps some, even a very small part of the five hundred tons of gold, were brought to Lake Baikal and eventually sank to the bottom of the lake, but most of the five hundred tons of gold were absolutely impossible to be taken to Lake Baikal under such bad weather.

The average winter temperature in Omsk is minus 22 degrees Celsius, but when Kolchak's troops arrived in Tomsk, a strong cold current swept across Siberia, and the temperature dropped sharply to more than minus 60 degrees Celsius in just a few days!

Kolchak's troops arrived at Lake Baikal at the end of February 1920, and from November 13, 1919 to February of the following year, only 200,000 remained in Kolchak's troops of more than 1.2 million people!

Even people can't survive, who will still care about the gold?

When people walk in the desert and find gold and clear water, they will choose clear water instead of gold. In the extreme environment of Siberia at that time, people would rather carry more food than take a gold brick.

Yang Jing estimated that the 500 tons of gold bricks had a great possibility that they were buried by Kolchak casually and found a place to be buried on the spot. A small part of them might stay in the Siberian wasteland with the White Army who was walking and dying. But it was impossible that the 500 tons of gold were transported to Lake Baikal and then sank.

Kolchak was not a brainless person, he would not do such brainless things. One is that it was impossible for him to transport so much gold to Lake Baikal with manpower. Another more important reason is that even if Kolchak was brainless, would his soldiers be brainless?

Is it because I don’t take the food and just take the 500 tons of gold to transport the 500 tons of gold from Tomsk, two thousand kilometers away, to the Baikal Lake?

This is just a few nonsense!

So, those five hundred tons of gold did not arrive at Lake Baikal!

But it is hard to say where these golds are still there or where they are buried in concentrated areas, and there is no clue to the five hundred tons of gold. Therefore, Yang Jing completely gave up on these five hundred tons of gold.

Even if you have the skill of the Sky Eye, where would you find such a big Siberia?

The only gold that is possible to look for now is the 1,100 tons of gold that Kolchak hid before leaving Omsk.

These golds are also the focus of Yang Jing’s attention.

Based on the evidence summarized above, Yang Jing was almost certain that the 1,600 tons of gold transported from Petrograd that year had been secretly hidden by Kolchak to another place before Omsk was defeated by the Red Army.

But the total weight of this batch of gold is as high as 1,100 tons. Where can such a heavy gold be transported? What method can be transported away?

It was obviously unlikely to transport by train. In that era, although the Siberian Railway passed by Omsk, there was only one railway. The batch of gold was transported from the west through this railway, so it was naturally impossible to transport it back. For transporting eastwards, are there so many cargoes available, otherwise Kolchak would not have taken away only 500 tons of gold.

In other words, the 1,100 tons of gold would either be left to stay in Omsk or would be transported to other places through other means.

What kind of transportation means may be used to transport such heavy gold?

Yang Jing stared at a huge large-scale Soviet map in front of him, and finally set his sight on the river running across the north and south of Omsk.
