young marshal spring and autumn

However, the foundation of China's century-old weakness is so weak that any measures Zhang Hanqing planned for the governments of the northeastern provinces will be financially stretched.If there is no money, when will the great national construction in Zhang Hanqing's mind be realized?Surrounded by powerful enemies, Japan, and other imperialist countries will not allow China to rise. If it cannot quickly develop to the scale of power that the great powers have to face up to, any actions of the Fengjun in the Northeast may be suspended at any time.There is a saying, "If you are a lion, you can brag about yourself; but if you are a sheep, excessive obesity is just an excuse for the other party to covet you."

In the previous life, China benefited from the world-renowned reform and opening up, which was closely related to attracting large-scale foreign investment.But now that the First World War has just ended, the whole of Europe is waiting to be rebuilt, and everyone is busy restoring the economy. No country can spend a large amount of money to help the Northeast Autonomous Government in economic construction.Without money, how can such slow growth quickly change the balance of power between China and Japan?

Where do you get the money from?

An idea that had been buried in his heart for many years became more and more intense. This idea was so strong that Zhang Hanqing once risked breaking with the Japanese in advance to control the Middle East Road.It was this idea that made Zhang Zuolin put all his eggs in one basket and firmly supported the eldest son on the issue of the Middle East Road.It's just that I didn't expect the solution on the Middle East Road to be so easy, so I was just worrying about it for nothing.

Midsummer, the Marshal's Mansion.Gao Jiyi and Ji Yiqiao were ordered to meet the young marshal.

As the head coach of the famous "Fengqing Bureau", Gao Jiyi has spread the intelligence network extensively in the two years since the "Fengqing Bureau" was established. Its tentacles have spread all over the three eastern provinces, the Far East and even far away Siberia, ranking firmly in the various systems of the Fengjun Army; Yiqiao's special operations team is even more elusive, and they are the number one in the "Lishu Incident".It's just that keeping a low profile is the tradition of this army, and it's not known to outsiders.The special warfare brigade has been expanded into a special warfare brigade. It is a personal soldier of the young marshal, and it is also the most powerful force in the Feng army.

The "Chaoyang land reform" is in full swing, and it is not an exaggeration to describe the young marshal as a day-to-day management. What can I do for myself?Both of them are Zhang Hanqing's confidantes drawn from the crowd. It is their desire to make contributions, and they are full of excitement before accepting the task.After all, according to the usual practice, the young marshal must have important matters to deal with, just like the "Pear Tree Incident" years ago.

Unexpectedly, the Young Marshal was sitting in the study of the Marshal's Mansion instead of the living room, and was accompanied by Zhang Zuolin!And Jiang Huanan, the captain of Zhang Hanqing's guard, stood in front of the hall to greet him personally, and all the idlers stayed away.After the two of them were seated, Zhang Hanqing directly arranged the task, which was to try to find out the gold stored in Omsk by Tsarist Russia and try to obtain it.The young marshal emphasized: "One thing that must be paid attention to is that the Soviet Union must not know that it was obtained by Feng Junjie, otherwise all previous efforts will be wasted!"

Although they knew that the task of the young marshal must be very difficult, their brains still couldn't help buzzing when they learned of this task.

Steal gold!Gold of Tsarist Russia!A full 600 tons of gold!

Historically, in Northeast Asia, there was an unsolved case that the Russians still brood on. This is the mystery of the disappearance of 600 tons of Tsarist Russian gold.For this reason, the Russia-Japan gold dispute lasted for more than 80 years.

After the outbreak of World War I, the Russian army retreated steadily on the battlefield.By the following year, German forces were closing in on the Russian capital, Petrograd.For safety, the tsar ordered the transfer of the state gold reserves to the rear.Soon, about 600 tons of gold bars and coins were shipped to Kazan.

At the beginning of 1918, this batch of gold had been stored in Kazan for 3 years.At this time, Soviet Russia had been established, but the domestic situation failed to stabilize. In March 1918, Soviet Russia and Germany signed the "Brest Peace Treaty" and withdrew from the First World War.Allied countries such as Britain, France, the United States and Japan were terrified of this socialist revolution in Russia. They used Russia's independent peace as an excuse to dispatch troops to intervene in Soviet Russia. The counter-revolutionary forces in Russia also took the opportunity to create chaos. a large area of ​​land.

In the turbulent situation, the value of the gold in Kazan became even more apparent. Both the Red Army and the White Army realized that the gold could have an important impact on the course of the civil war, because it could buy a large amount of military equipment and supplies, thus changing the situation of both sides. power comparison. In August 1918, Petrov, an officer of the White Bandits, led an army to raid Kazan and seized the gold.

After learning of the missing gold, the Red Army quickly attacked Petrov's troops.In order to keep the gold, Petrov handed over the gold to Kolchak, the leader of the White Bandits.At that time, Kolchak was one of the largest white bandit leaders in Russia. He called himself the "Supreme Governor of Russia" and was recognized and supported by the West, Japan and other countries.

After getting this batch of gold, Kolchak was overjoyed, and he quickly transferred the gold to his old lair, Omsk. According to the records left at the time, the batch of gold totaled 583 tons.

As Zhang Hanqing, who loved reading unsolved historical mysteries in his previous life, this huge wealth has been coveted for a long time.If there is no historical change, it will not be long before the "Supreme Governor of Russia" will be defeated by the devastating attack of the Soviet Russian army. On the way to flee to the Far East together with gold, Kolchak will be in Irkut Ke was caught and immediately executed; and the gold would be partly "blacked out" by the Cossack cavalry near Chita under the protection of Petrov, and then cheated by the Japanese in Manchuria under harsh conditions.It is estimated that the value of the gold was twice the national fiscal revenue of Japan at that time.

But what is ironic is that the Japanese troops stationed in Manchuria did not hand over the gold to the Japanese government.In their report, they did not mention Petrov's gold at all, but wrote: On April 1920, 4, the troops encountered bandits near Manchuria, wiped out all the enemies and seized many spoils of war.The loot has been disposed of, offsetting daily expenses.

In fact, a considerable part of the gold was divided among the Japanese commanders.According to historical data, a senior Japanese military officer became rich overnight after returning from China, became the leader of Japan's largest political party, and began to compete for the prime ministership.Later, it was revealed that he embezzled Russian gold in China, but the prosecutor who investigated the matter was mysteriously assassinated and died, and the case was finally settled.

The remaining gold was transferred by the Japanese to a warehouse north of Tokyo.Then, they played a trick of stealing the ears and stealing the bell: they first secretly transferred the gold away, and then set fire to the warehouse. After that, the whereabouts of the gold was completely unknown.Since then, this priceless gold has led to the 80-year dispute between Russia and Japan, which has become a highlight of Zhang Hanqing's crossing.

Gao Jiyi personally led the elite to the extremely cold place in Siberia to carry out the very important task solemnly entrusted by the young marshal.Zhang Zuolin and Zhang Hanqing personally listed this task as top secret, and it was called "Operation Aunt Huang".
