Japan's 10,000-ton merchant ship was sunk by the United States in World War II, and * * * dispatched 40,000 troops to salvage it for three years.
If we want to talk about the famous sunken ship in history, I'm afraid there is one off the coast of China, that is, the merchant ship Abomaru, which is called the "undersea treasure house". Apomaru is a 10,000-ton merchant ship built by Japan during World War II, which can transport troops and goods. 1944, the Allies and the Japanese reached an agreement through a third country, and the Apomaru was used as a humanitarian rescue ship. The allied air and sea blockade network will be widened to ensure that merchant ships will not sink, allowing them to supply prisoners of war in Japanese-occupied areas of Southeast Asia and improve the living conditions of local allied prisoners of war. In return, the allied forces also allowed the ship to transport the seriously wounded to Japan and become a medical ship. Apomaru immediately changed his painting and drew a big cross on the boat to show his identity. A pill that has become a "medical ship". However, the American submarine captain who killed the red eye didn't care so much. 1945 in April, the Apomaru was sunk by an American submarine off Fujian, China-the American captain didn't have time to identify any medical ship. It must be Japanese for such a big ship to appear in Japanese-controlled waters. Sink it! American submarines in the ocean, however, after the war, the American army was surprised to find that it was originally played by the Japanese army through the captured Japanese archives. Apomaru has never carried out any humanitarian transport mission. As a medical ship, it thinks it holds a gold medal to avoid death and undertakes the task of transporting weapons to Southeast Asia and transporting precious and scarce materials to the mainland. The Apomaru, which was salvaged from China when the ship bell sank, actually carried 50 tons of gold, a lot of rubber, tin, copper and other materials, as well as cultural relics looted from Southeast Asia. The total price of these items is about $654.38+05 billion today, which is more than RMB 654.38+00 billion! The tin ingot boat that Apomaru salvaged ashore also transported 2000 Japanese soldiers, who will return to Japan and become reinforcements for the decisive battle at home. Because it sank too fast, all the 2000 Japanese soldiers and dozens of crew members of the Apomaru were buried in the ocean. Only one chef smoked at the railing and was thrown into the sea by the explosion shock wave. In the 1970s, after Sino-US and Sino-Japanese relations warmed up, both the United States and Japan provided our country with a list of materials for the Apomaru. China decided to salvage the Apomaru in China waters. The air force near the Apomaru salvage area entered a high-density cruise 1977, and the salvage operation began. The salvage task is undertaken by the local salvage bureau and the naval diving force, of which the naval force is the absolute main force. Because it is in a hot spot, our navy and air force have dispatched a large number of ships and fighters for protection and salvage operations. More than 40,000 people joined the air force and navy. Fighters frequently patrol, ships are on duty near the salvage point, and coastal defense artillery units and coastal defense missile units are ready. 1980, the three-year salvage operation ended, and many precious and scarce materials and Japanese relics on board were salvaged. China auctioned materials, gained valuable foreign exchange and returned cultural relics to Japan. However, the legendary Apothel gold did not show its true colors.
