AnirudhaBack-History Of The Russian Tank
If you have someone in your family from military background then you might have heard some awesome stories about their military services from their tour. But, the real question is, why will someone hide something that too in the tank? What could have been the reason for such secrecy? Was he hiding this for himself or from somebody else? What is the story behind the Russian T-54 tank and who was the person in charge of operating the tank that left behind something so big in the tank.
This tank has been deployed in Iraq and it’s mileage indicator shows 1,500 miles that suggests that this tank was not in that much of use during its service. When the story of this tank came out people started suggesting that since this tank was deployed in Iraq then it may be a possibility that Saddam Hussein has something to do with the mystery of this tank.
Paramount Power
After coming to power Saddam Hussein made himself the only true power all over Iraq. He asked people to treat himself as he is the God to them. He even renamed several mosques, airports, neighborhoods and entire cities after him just to show the people of Iraq that his rule was paramount. In schools, students were taught songs like,“Saddam, oh Saddam, you carry the nation’s dawn in your eyes.”
His statue guarded every villages entrance and his portrait was put on every wall of public offices and houses.
What About The Treasure Troves?
Saddam Hussein became the President of Iraq in 1979. He has always been that controversial leader that always stayed in the news during his term. In 2003, when the coalition invaded Iraq dethroning him as the president the matter became a hot topic all over the world. With several pictures revolving around the TV news channels about his life and all the stuff like gold and gold plated guns, uncountable cash money, and palaces he made for himself. During his term, TV channel also reported about his inhuman acts that involved rape, torture and many other acts that were ordered by him. So, there is a possibility that he might have hidden some treasure in the tank during the coalition.
Live Ammunition In The Tank
Though the Russian T-54 tank was in a good condition as it seemed in the first look but Nick knew that this tank was built back in the 1980s and just because the tank looks great from the outside that doesn’t mean it is also fine from the inside and just to make sure that everything is fine with the tank he called his old friend Todd Chamberlain, who is also the mechanic in his farm that looks after the maintenance of all the tanks that Nick owns. When Todd was in the process of fixing it he found several live ammunition hidden inside the tank and calling the appropriate authorities felt like the right thing to do. After this discovery, it was sure that this tank had more job other than its deployment. The maintenance of the tank was not yet finished and they discovered something more that stunned everybody.
Discovering The Treasure Chest
Todd was already excited by the discoveries he made during the fixing and felt like that there is more to this tank and he had this sudden feeling of a rush that led him to this amazing discovery. As he was checking the fuel tanks he noticed that one external fuel tank is really stuffed from the inside and the more he tried to explore more difficult it was to see what was inside it. The first thought that popped upon his mind was about the possibility of the ammunition of the weapons he found earlier. But he was not convinced and tried pulling out the stuff with the help of a crowbar. After so many trials, he was able to pull it out and couldn’t believe what he was saw.
The Find Of A Lifetime
Yes, those are really gold bars that Todd is holding in his hands. Just look at his face that contains so many mixed emotions. Who would have thought this tank was actually hiding golds inside the tanks! But if you think about it then things start to make sense because according to the odometer of this tank it showed that it traveled only 1500 miles. You must be thinking what a lucky chap Todd is? but wait, because there was more to it. If you don’t believe what you are reading then you must see the video at the end of the article that will definitely make your jaws drop.
