Chapter 470: Participating in the Defense Exhibition
In 1942, when the war between Japan and Japan in the Pacific was tense, the U.S. Navy's submarines operating in the Pacific sank a large number of Japanese transport ships, which led to a significant increase in transportation risks. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
It is not known what exactly was in the many sunken little devil carriers, but the list of supplies of the Japanese-Awa Maru, which was sunk on April 1, 45, is well documented: 40 tons of gold, 12 tons of platinum, 150,000 carats of industrial diamonds, about 40 boxes of jewelry and artifacts, 3,000 tons of tin ingots, 3,000 tons of rubber, and thousands of tons of rice.
In 43 or 44, the U.S. Navy submarines basically stopped the operation of transporting gold looted from Southeast Asia to the mainland, and the sinking of the "Awa Maru" completely canceled the plan to transport precious metals.
In order to protect the safety of the plundered wealth, the Emperor of Dog Day ordered the "Mountain Lily Society" to quickly register the treasure and bury it in 175 "royal treasure spots" throughout the Philippines.
At the beginning of 1945, the U.S. military began to land in the Philippines, and in the face of an emergency, the "Mountain Lily Society" urgently started the final gold processing and secrecy work.
Buried everywhere, for the sake of secrecy, even their own people are killed!
For example, in May 1945, the head of the Mountain Lily section arranged for the engineers of the "Royal Treasure Spot" to hold a grand farewell ceremony in a "tunnel No. 8" in the mountains of Luzon in the Philippines.
Zhang Nan remembered that the tunnel was 67 meters above the ground, and it was said that there were astronomical gold bars piled up inside.
At midnight that day, when the ordinary engineers were getting drunk, the Japanese-Philippine Front Army Yamashita Fengfumi and members of the imperial family who were in charge of the construction of the "Royal Treasure Spot" slipped out of the "No. 8 tunnel" and activated explosives to seal the exit of the passage.
Those Japanese-Ben engineers were buried in the tunnels along with the treasures, and the "royal treasure spots" became secrets unknown to outsiders.
Three months later, Yamashita surrendered to the U.S. military.
However, the "Mountain Lily Society" treasure trove worked hard to make it a secret, and in the end, it was left behind in the execution of the plan - he was the Filipino Ben Walmorris.
For unknown reasons, the little devil let Volmoris leave before the explosion, and later Volmoris told the Americans the secret of Japan's gold hiding in the Philippines, but did not disclose the specific location.
On September 2, 1945, after Japan's surrender in the Philippines, Yamashita was charged with war crimes for carrying out a mass genocide in Manila.
The U.S. officials on trial had already learned from the Strategic Intelligence Agency that Japan had buried treasures in the Philippines, and they tried in every possible way to obtain the secrets from Yamashita Fumi's mouth during the trial.
However, Yamashita refused to reveal the secret of the treasure during the trial, and then the Strategic Intelligence Bureau opened a gap from Yamashita Fumi's driver, Kojima Shosa, and confessed a total of 12 treasure locations.
The confession of the island and the discovery of the local guerrillas eventually led to how much gold that the Americans stole in the Philippines that originally belonged to the people of Southeast Asia (the vast majority of which was the accumulation of generations or dozens of generations of Chinese). It is not known, because both MacArthur and Truman made the excavation of these treasure spots a top secret of the American state from the beginning.
Not to mention the amount of gold that Marcos later acquired, the amount of which seems to remain a mystery forever: there is a figure of more than 60,000 tons, but Marcos has been selling gold, otherwise his family would not be so rich.
On the U.S. side, in 1945-1948, this batch of gold, which was worth at least tens of billions of dollars at the time, was shipped to the United States, and instead of being returned to victims in Southeast Asian countries, it was deposited in 176 banks in 42 countries.
In the end, this vast wealth was taken over by the CIA, the successor of the US Strategic Intelligence Agency, as its off-the-books funds, the use and disposal of which were not subject to any oversight.
However, there is no impermeable wall in this world, especially after hundreds or thousands of people involved - this incident was poked out decades later, and it has also become Zhang Nan's memory.
There are still a few locations in northern Luzon, but this will only allow Zhang Nan to get two training bases, which is already the limit, and too many will cause problems - are you not a US army, why do you want so many camps?
And in addition to Mount Pinatubo, which is very recognizable and is at the bottom of the lake, a location near Baguio City can basically be determined.
The other places only know a rough idea, and you need to have time to study before you can find a way to operate, otherwise facing the vast mountains will be more difficult than searching for diamond mines!
......
After inspecting this possible treasure spot in Mount Pinatubo, Zhang Nan and his group went to a camp in the high mountains more than ten kilometers west of Baguio City, where only five "joint forces" security personnel were left, and the infrastructure was handed over to a local construction company in the Philippines.
There is a small mountain village 500 metres from the camp, and the road can barely cross ox carts.
Zhang Nan made a big stroke of the pen after the "inspection": widen the road to be able to pass 10 rounds of big trucks.
Although the road was still gravel after the widening, it was also warmly welcomed by the local government and the villagers - it would cost a lot of money to build the road.
Zhang Nan didn't care, because an abnormality was also found in this location, if the road conditions were not good, would it be that the things would be dug up and pulled by an ox cart at that time?
You're kidding me!
I went to the Bagulín area on the east side of San Fernando, where there was no camp, and wandered around the mountains pretending to be an American tourist.
Nothing was found, so it was only determined that the little devil might have chosen two of the gold hiding sites near a 15-kilometer-long mountain road.
However, the mountains are high and the forests are dense, so I didn't find them this time.
Don't be in a hurry, wait for the first two places to be done and then take your time - I'm only 20 years old, what's the hurry.
He left the Philippines and returned to New York, signed an agreement with the Indians, and went to Xiangjiang to participate in an auction. After returning to New York again, on 25 October, accompanied by Thomas and Hanson Bruce, he participated in the New York Fall Small Arms Defense Exhibition.
Light weapons are the mainstay, but there are armored vehicles, individual anti-tank and individual air-released missiles, exhibitors from all over the world, and military enterprises from China also have them.
As a defense company with a regular U.S. license, United Forces was able to purchase all the equipment at the show.
Today is the first day of the exhibition, which belongs to the "government and professional company time", and there are no ordinary firearms enthusiasts to participate, so there are not many people.
When he was strolling around and saw the signboard of "Huaxia Oriental Industrial Corporation", Zhang Nan felt quite cordial, so he leaned in with the bodyguards.
