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

It's easy to say that those gold have long been placed in a corner of the space. In that corner, they are all gold.

Yang Jing is interested in the four teak barrels.

Through perspective skills, Yang Jing already knows that the four teak barrels are full of whale oil, and there is a well sealed iron box in the whale oil.

The use of whale oil to preserve things had existed as early as when the Vikings were popular. Before the advent of oil, whale oil could be called universal oil. Especially in western lighting, whale oil and gas were used most before oil was discovered.

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

Especially in the early 19th century, the popularization and application of steam engine liberated manpower to a great extent. At the same time, with the explosive growth of science and technology and industrial knowledge, people's motivation and motivation for learning have increased simultaneously, and the demand for indoor lighting has increased sharply. This makes the price of whale oil go up, and whaling has become a lucrative business.

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

When it comes to whaling in modern times, ten out of ten people will think of Japan, but who can know that Japan's whaling industry is nothing compared with the United States two hundred years ago.

From the 1920s to the 1960s, the number of whaling in the United States ranked first in the world.

The 40 years from 1820 to 1860 were the "golden age" of American whaling. At that time, the development of American domestic economy and the rise of industrial revolution were driving the huge demand for whale oil. Intelligent human beings also make more diverse use of whales. Whale products include soap, skin care products, lubricating oil, women's girdle and so on.

At that time, the income brought by catching a whale to each crew member was equivalent to half a year's salary for land workers. There are even women disguised as men to work on the ship, and many women dream of marrying a whaling ship captain. Whalers have become the embodiment of light to some extent, and whaling has become the most respected profession.

Around 1846, nearly half of the fishing vessels in the United States were engaged in whaling, and 735 of the 900 whaling vessels in the world were owned by the United States.

It can be imagined how developed and crazy the American whaling industry was at that time.

According to statistics, in the past 100 years of the 19th century alone, the number of global whaling was conservatively estimated at more than 4 million, with an average of 11000 whales being hunted every day! This number is several times more than that of all countries that allow whaling in the world!

In that crazy age, whales were almost killed.

If the American colonel Konon Drake had not drilled the first modern industrial oil well in Pennsylvania, and oil replaced whale oil in the next century, it is estimated that whales would be extinct now.

It can be said that Colonel Konon Drake is the Savior of all whales in the world, and his photos should be hung in those mysterious whale tombs in the oceans all over 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 wiped with whale oil to achieve the effect of anti-corrosion and moisture-proof, which is no worse than paint.

Especially among the many sunken ships salvaged in Greenland and the North Atlantic in recent years, many precious things have been completely preserved because they have been soaked in whale oil.

I obviously know the role of whale oil, so I use barrels of whale oil to preserve these iron boxes.

Open the whale oil with consciousness and gather the whale oil together to form a huge oil bubble and suspend it in the space. Then Yang Jing took out the four iron boxes.

The four iron boxes are made of ordinary steel plates with concealed locks on them. Because they have been immersed in whale oil, these iron boxes are well preserved.

The secret lock on the box can't help Yang Jing. In space, Yang Jing's consciousness is the Supreme God.

But when these boxes were opened, Yang Jing, who had great hope, was completely disappointed.

Originally, I thought these boxes contained some precious materials. After all, before opening these boxes, Yang Jing saw through perspective skills that the boxes contained some paper products. At that time, Yang Jing thought they were important military materials of the Japanese army at that time.

In modern times, even some confidential military information during World War II is quite valuable. After the result was opened, Yang Jing was disappointed to find that these things were just ordinary family letters - family letters between senior Japanese officers in Rabaul, Solomon Islands and other places and Japanese local families.

Although "the beacon fire lasts for three months, and the family letter is worth thousands of gold", it's too much for your little devil's senior officers to transport the family letter in this way, isn't it?

However, Yang Jing still watched these letters with his mind. He opened them one after another. When he saw that they were indeed letters, he immediately cleared out the space.

Yang Jing also knows a little Japanese, which is also due to the fact that when he studied in London, a professor of modern economics came from Japan, so at that time, Yang Jing specially learned a little Japanese in order to earn enough credits, but it was only limited to understanding some Japanese characters. If he was asked to speak Japanese, Yang Jing would only say "cry a few wow" and "Sanyou Nala"... Of course, "Yahu butterfly" he can also understand

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

But inadvertently, Yang Jing caught a glimpse of a thick envelope with "だいほんえいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいい.

だ い ほ ん え, translated as "base camp".

"Is this letter sent to the base camp?" Yang Jing thought to herself with a slight movement in her heart.

The letters opened earlier have made Yang Jing understand that the "first Xinxing pill" left from Rabaul, docked through lorenco, and then continued to prepare to go north to the Caroline Islands more than 1000 kilometers away, and returned to the mainland through Guam. As a result, it was attacked by the US Australian coalition forces not long after leaving Hong Kong, and was directly bombed and sunk here.

"It's just that how can communication with the base camp adopt such backward means?" Yang Jing is really a little puzzled. Radio was already very developed during World War II. If you hit the keyboard, radio waves can transmit messages to the other end of the earth in an instant.

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 by such transport ships.

However, this letter from Rabaul to Japan's local base camp is so mixed in some family letters.

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

The envelope was thick and contained a lot of things. It was full of more than 30 pages of stationery, which was filled with things in Japanese. Unfortunately, Yang Jing could only recognize a small part of it.

However, what surprised Yang Jing was that the 30 pages of stationery did not seem to be written by one person, but at least had more than ten different handwriting. Moreover, on the last page, Yang Jing saw the names of several familiar Japanese senior officers.

Jincunjun, Shouyi in the temple, Zhengxiang in Shanxian County

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

Because she couldn't understand what was written in the more than 30 page letter, Yang Jing was going to go out later to see if she could buy a Japanese dictionary.

At the back of this letter, there is also attached a very detailed large-scale chart. On the chart, there are only a few sporadic islands and reefs. In the middle, there is an archipelago composed of four islands of different sizes. Above the archipelago, a few words - Maug islands are marked in Japanese.

On this chart, there are also the signatures of those people.

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

It's needless to say that this guy is the supreme officer of Rabaul base.

Shouyi in the temple is more famous than Jincun, and the big one is not a bit.

In the war of invasion of the little devil * *, this Teuchi Junichi was the Japanese army's infantry army. In 1937, Teuchi Junichi was commanding to send a commandant to the North Chinna, commanding eight divisions and second airborne regiments, and about 50 aircraft. The Japanese army occupied the whole North China and even the capital of Shanxi Province.

However, the famous Taierzhuang campaign was fought by this guy's men, which made this guy invincible in North China suffer a great loss.

Later, when the Southeast Asian war broke out, Shouyi Monai was awarded the "commander in chief of the southern army" to command the 11 divisions of the Japanese army, with a total of 250000 people attacking Southeast Asia and occupying the whole Southeast Asia. In 1943, he was awarded the position of Marshal by the Japanese Emperor.

Unlike Shimura, who is the commander of Rabaul, after Seiichi Terauchi occupied the whole Southeast Asia, the whole Southeast Asia was under his rule.

As for Zhengxiang, Yushan County, he is not an ordinary person. Although he is only a Navy Lieutenant General, he was the commander of the Kaohsiung police garrison on WAN island during World War II.

In addition to these three people, there is also a Japanese rear admiral like Akiyama munzao, who was once the commander of the sixth Japanese base and the garrison commander of Kwajalein island in the Marshall Islands.

Sen Guozao, Lieutenant General of the Japanese Navy, commander of the special base area on the father island of the Ogasawara Islands.

Tanaka Lai San, Japanese Navy Lieutenant General, commander of Myanmar's 13th base area.

Rear admiral nishita, garrison commander of Parry Island, Marshall Islands.

......

The names of a series of Japanese senior officers made Yang Jing wonder what was written in the letter and what the chart represented!
