Chapter 931: Ancient Temple Treasure Gold (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
On August 8, 1916, the German Emperor Qin Tian was crowned again in Berlin. This time he wore the crown, which symbolized the emperor of India, adding another to his title.
Many princely lords of India participated in this coronation ceremony, and they swore allegiance to Qin Tian at the coronation ceremony.
The ceremony was attended by high-ranking military and political officials and celebrities of the German Empire, as well as envoys from various countries in Germany.
There is no doubt that after the acquisition of India, the German Empire will become even stronger. This is definitely not a good thing for the rest of the world. However, they were simply powerless against the strength of the German Empire. Germany's military strength was at its strongest. At this time, if there was a war with Germany, they would have no chance of winning at all. Therefore, they could only watch as Germany's strength grew stronger.
At the time of the coronation ceremony of the German Emperor Qin Tian, in distant India, the commander of the German 8th Army Corps, General Ludendorff, was heading for Kerala in southwestern India with a regiment of troops. The reason why I rushed there was entirely because during the expedition to India, Qin Tian specially instructed Admiral Ludendorff.
Qin Tian told Admiral Ludendorff that in the underground palace of the Padmanaba Swami Temple in Kerala, there were dozens of tons of gold and other jewels. Qin Tian asked Admiral Ludendorff to find out the gold, silver and jewels and transport them back to India. And, if gold was found in that temple, the two German armies in India immediately searched the temples throughout India and brought all the gold, silver and jewelry back to Germany.
Although, that would certainly provoke a revolt from the Indians. However, Qin Tian didn't care at all. Because the next ones to clean up the mess will be the princes of the princely states of India. They will be the rulers of this land. And they certainly don't want to see the situation in India go haywire.
Various temples in India have a tradition of burying precious metals such as gold. Rather than let those gold and silver treasures disappear from the light of day in the underground palace, it is better to dig them out. In this way, Germany could also have a greater fortune.
Germany is now the world's leading power. However, in Qin Tian's view, Germany has many congenital deficiencies. In order to make up for these shortcomings, he could only get as much wealth as he could for Germany. This wealth can then be used to further strengthen Germany's strength in a short period of time, making Germany even stronger. To ensure that Germany will be able to win again in the future World War II. Otherwise, Germany's hegemony would be overthrown. All victories will disappear like a mirror. Qin Tian was unwilling to work hard for so many years, but in the end it was still nothing.
"How long will it be before we get to the temple?" Admiral Ludendorff asked.
"General, we will be able to arrive tomorrow afternoon." The colonel reported.
Admiral Ludendorff nodded and said nothing.
However, the colonel was very curious, and couldn't help but ask why he was in such a hurry to rush to a Hindu temple.
"His Majesty the Emperor has received information that dozens of tons of gold are buried under the ground of that temple. So, we need to dig up that gold and bring it back to the Empire. If it is confirmed that this news is true. So, are there other temples in India that also contain gold? In that case, we're probably going to have to do a good search in India. We had to take all the gold and other treasures back to Germany. This would be a very large asset for the Empire. It must not fall into the hands of anyone else, or let it remain in India! Admiral Ludendorff said.
"Yes, General!" The colonel nodded. Dozens of tons of gold, that's worth a lot of money.
In the afternoon of the next day, the Germans arrived at the temple. Admiral Ludendorff did not give superfluous orders, and the colonel directly ordered the troops to drive the monks out of the temple.
"What do you want to do? This is a temple, and you can't go wild! ”
"God will punish you!"
The monks who were expelled from the temple cursed the Germans. It's just that, under the guns of the Germans, they had no other choice.
The indigenous Indians in the vicinity also came one after another. When they saw that the monks had been driven out and the Germans had entered the temple and searched everywhere, they immediately became excited.
But when the Germans set up mortars, grenadiers, and general-purpose machine guns, as well as squad machine guns, and aimed them at the angry crowd, they immediately shut up.
These indigenous Indians have been tamed by the British. In their eyes, Westerners are very powerful. If you provoke Westerners, the final result will be very tragic. Although the actions of the Germans made them very angry, at this time, it was undoubtedly the most important thing to save their lives first.
"General, the soldiers have searched and found no dungeon!" The colonel reported.
Admiral Ludendorff couldn't help frowning, thought for a moment, and then ordered: "Let the sappers go up, blow up this temple, and then dig!" ”
"Yes, General." The colonel immediately went to arrange it.
"Boom!"
With an earth-shattering bang, the temple was blown into ruins.
The Germans blew up the temple directly, which was even more unacceptable to the monks and believers, who frantically rushed towards the Germans in an attempt to break through the German blockade.
"Da Da Da!"
The colonel's regimental commander gave the order to shoot directly, and several machine guns began to strafe. Some of the Indian Ah San, who rushed to the front, were shot and fell to the ground screaming.
The other indigenous Indians were immediately frightened and did not dare to move forward.
Subsequently, German sappers began to dig inside the ruins of the temple.
An hour later, they had a catch. A dungeon buried deep underground has been discovered. Inside, there were glittering gold nuggets and gold chains.
"Good, keep discovering. Also, be vigilant. If those indigenous Indians dare to make any changes, they will shoot directly! Admiral Ludendorff ordered.
"Yes, General." The colonel nodded.
The excavation continued until the evening, when the Germans excavated more than forty tons of gold from the temple's underground palace. There are many other pieces of jewelry.
When the Germans attempted to transport the gold and jewels, they were once again surrounded by the indigenous Indians. It's just that, under the guns of the black hole, those Indian natives have no choice but to let the Germans transport this batch of gold and jewelry.
