"Mengmeng, don't worry, can you explain it to me clearly? What the hell is going on, no matter what happens after that, I have to make things clear first, so as not to panic in my heart. ”

In fact, in the interval between Liu Mengxun's translation of this text, Zhang Tianyuan had already discussed it with Shelin, and felt that this thing was probably a treasure map, and it was also related to the defeat and retreat of Japan back then, but the two of them were just talking after all, and there was no conclusive evidence, plus these Japanese words were not translated, all the qiē were based on inference, and there was a possibility, but it was not necessarily correct.

It wasn't until Liu Mengxun's words came out that Zhang Tianyuan's eyebrows jumped, and he could basically confirm it.

"The text you gave me was written by a Japanese officer named Takeshita Sixty-four, and the carver should not be himself, but a very famous miniature carving expert in Myanmar at that time, but it is a pity that this miniature carver was killed by Takeshita Sixty-four after carving this text, after all, Takeshita Sixty-four does not want others to know this secret."

Because many things on the phone were not clear, Zhang Tianyuan and Liu Mengxun simply hung up the phone, and the two of them talked through the computer.

It turned out that during World War II, Japan's iron hooves quickly spread throughout East Asia. In the course of aggression and expansion, the Japanese militarists set up a secret organization to plunder the property of the Asian people -- the "Mountain Lily" Society. Emperor Hirohito appointed Prince Takedanomiya Tsunetitsu Takeda, a member of the imperial family, as the head of the organization in Asia, and they brought back to Japan a large amount of goods and gold plundered from China.

However, a large amount of gold and silver looted in Southeast Asia was not shipped back to Japan for various reasons.

During World War II. In order to plunder the national treasures and wealth of Asian countries, Japan implemented a "Golden Lily" plan. The main executor was the Japanese army. The Japanese Imperial Family set up an executive body headed by Emperor Hirohito's younger brother, Yoshihito Chichibunomiya, and other members of the Imperial Family, including the Emperor's brothers, Asakanomiya, Mikasa, and Takedanomiya, also participated. Japanese experts, scholars, and many economic organizations. then act as a "treasure expert" and a "transport worker".

The object of plundering by the "Golden Lily" is not limited to the government and military departments of the occupied country, banks, etc., but includes the entire country. The targets of its plundering are not only gold, silver and jewelry, but also antiques, calligraphy and paintings, works of art, etc. The wealth plundered by the Japanese army was staggering as it plundered most of our cities and villages, as well as the occupied areas on the vast west coast of the Pacific Ocean, from Hong Kong to Singapore and from Manila to Jakarta. The treasure map of Taketiangu, which is responsible for the treasure of the Philippines, indicates a treasure worth 777 trillion yen, the value of which was in 1944, when the exchange rate was 4 yen to huàn 1 dollar.

"Golden Lily" is planned in the south. It was officially launched during the Beijing Massacre. At that time, the Japanese military police were in the south. About 6,000 tons of gold were looted in Beijing. There were also a lot of diamonds, precious stones, platinum, etc., and they even went to the countryside to dig graves and knock off the gold teeth from the mouths of the dead. Japan sent a large number of experts and monks to the south. Beijing, screening and finishing in the south. Ancient books looted in Beijing and its surrounding areas. Most of the books were registered and boxed, and Japan requisitioned more than 2,300 Chinese laborers to pack them, and used 300 trucks to transport the books to Shanghai and then back to Japan.

The Japanese seized about 1,000 tons of gold in Indochina and destroyed Buddha statues in Buddhist temples in Southeast Asian countries, many of which enshrine golden Buddhas with plaster on the outside.

in Myanmar. The Golden Buddha they grabbed weighed 8 tons. The vast majority of the vast wealth plundered by the "Golden Lily" went into the pockets of the Japanese imperial family.

Takeshita Sixty-Four is a subordinate of Prince Hengde of Takeda Palace, who is responsible for the collection of treasures in this part of Burma, and he was also a real demon leader at that time, not only killing countless people. And this man is also a good hand at looting.

In 1940, Emperor Hirohito ordered the Japanese to bring back to Japan part of the treasure pass guò fleet that had been plundered by the Japanese army from the Philippines, Singapore, Malaya, the Dutch East Indies (present-day Indonesia), and French Indochina. These treasures are stored in some abandoned mine shafts, while others are hidden in the mountains of Nagano Prefecture. Prepare for the last stubborn resistance in the event of defeat. The Japanese military drove tens of thousands of North Korean laborers to dig huge underground fortifications there and then secretly killed them. In case the treasure secretly leaks.

During this period, Takeshita 64 of Burma was also supposed to transport the treasure looted from Burma to the sea by land according to the order. Then it was transported back to Japan by the Japanese sea, but there was a problem on the way, things could not be transported, Takeshita 64 received an order from the top to bury the treasure on the spot, so Takeshita 64 did so, he hired some local laborers, according to the common method at the time, a large amount of treasure to the abandoned mining area in Burma, and then these laborers were brutally killed.

Originally, Takeshita Sixty-four led his army to break through the encirclement and join the Japanese army at sea, but who would have thought that he would meet an expeditionary force from Huaxia halfway, and the two sides fought together, and finally Takeshita Sixty-four was picked by Xiaoshi's grandfather, and the two things on his body also fell into the hands of Xiaoshi's grandfather.

The combination of those two things is actually the treasure place of Takeshita Sixty-four, but unfortunately, Xiaoshi's grandfather has only ivory woven mats in his hands, and the other Japanese swords are taken by his boss, so the two things can't be combined together, and it is impossible to know the secret of the treasure.

Probably because Zhang Tianyuan was so lucky, he actually got these two things at the same time, it seems that this earth qi can bring good luck, it should not be Zhang Tianyuan's illusion, it is really existing.

Later, in 1942, when Japan's war in the Pacific was tense, the U.S. Navy patrolled the ocean and sank a large number of Japanese transport ships, such as the sunken Japanese "Awa Maru" transport ship with 40 tons of gold, 12 tons of platinum, and 150,000 carats of industrial diamonds. U.S. patrols made it impossible to transport a large number of valuables such as gold back to Japan by sea. In order to protect the plundered wealth, the emperor ordered the "mountain lily" to quickly register the treasure and bury it in 175 "royal treasure spots" throughout the Philippines.

1945 year. U.S. forces are gradually closing in on the Japanese-occupied Philippines. At that time, Japan still fantasized about a conditional armistice with its allies. and to retain the occupation of the Philippines after the war, so that the treasure could be safely transported back to Japan. But. The Japanese attempt did not succeed.

Faced with an emergency, the Japanese fascists began to do the final work of gold handling and secrecy. In May, the head of the "Mountain Lily" part of Japan arranged for the engineers of the "Royal Treasure Spot" to hold a grand farewell ceremony in a "No. 8 tunnel" deep in the mountains of Luzon Island in the Philippines. The tunnel was 67 meters above the ground, and rows and rows of gold bars were piled up.

At midnight, when the engineers were getting drunk, General Yamashita Fumi, a member of the Japanese Philippine Army, who was in charge of the construction of the "Royal Treasure Point", slipped out of the "No. 8 Tunnel" and sealed the exit of the passage with explosive explosives. The engineers were buried in the tunnels along with the treasure. In this way, those "royal treasure spots" have become secrets that outsiders do not know. Three months later, Yamashita surrendered to the American army.

Interestingly. Later, these royal treasure spots were basically discovered by the Americans, and the large amount of gold was shipped back to the United States, which also became an important part of the rapid development of the United States after the war.

I wonder how much treasure the Japanese buried at that time, I'm afraid no one can say clearly, but there are some things that can be seen from it.

In particular, the amount of gold sold by former Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos and his agents is definitely a strong example.

The then Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos realized that there must still be a lot of gold in the Philippines, so he secretly carried out official mining and mining many times and enriched his own pockets. Evidence shows that Marcos has a huge amount of gold in Swiss banks. According to declassified information. Marcos also gave his close partner, Saudi Arabian arms giant Adnan. Hashogi is a large sum of gold.

Marcos and his agents often secretly sold large quantities of gold on the gold markets in London, Hong Kong, Sydney and elsewhere, sometimes selling more than 10 tons of gold ingots at a time, more than the entire known gold reserves of the Philippines.

Every once in a while, the world's largest London gold exchange hosts a secret sale known as the "Marcos Black Hawk." Estimated based on the quantity sold. Marcos' gold is worth about $10 billion. However, after President Max was overthrown in 1986, the gold was forced to be handed over to the United States. In order to transport this gold. The United States used the USS Eisenhower.

In addition, there were many people who secretly searched for gold buried by the Japanese army in the mountains of the Philippines. In the 70s of the last century, the famous "Roxas incident" occurred in the Philippines.

Rojas is a Filipino private treasure hunter. He discovered a pure gold Buddha statue weighing about 1 ton in the mountains of northern Luzon in 1970. The head can be detached, and there are a lot of rare jewels hidden inside the body. When Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos heard of this, he sent troops to snatch the Buddha statue from his home, causing an uproar in Philippine public opinion.

Later, Marcos was pressured to "return" a solid bronze Buddha statue that looked similar. According to expert estimates, the golden Buddha statue alone is worth more than $260 million. In 1996, the Roxas family sued Marcos and his heirs in the U.S. state court in Hawaii, and interestingly, Marcos died of illness in 1989. The court ruled in 1998 that Marcos' wife, Imelda, must return the statue to Rojas.

For more than half a century, the secret of Japan's gold in Southeast Asia has been revealed, and the sheer amount of gold it has seen how much Japan plundered Asia at the beginning. In addition to the countries invaded by Japan, the targets of Japanese looting also included individuals, churches, temples, banks, companies, and underground economic groups in the occupied areas.

At the end of the 40s of the last century, some people estimated that Japan had acquired nearly $100 billion in "war spoils" in Southeast Asia, as well as many inestimable treasures, and this caused the Asian people to suffer immeasurable losses.

However, a large number of treasure spots have been found in the Philippines, but the few treasure spots in Myanmar have been sleeping, although there have always been similar legends, but I have never heard of a person or government that has found a large number of treasures in Myanmar.

Takeshita Sixty-four is a person who likes art very much, this guy belongs to the typical double personality, on the one hand, he is cruel and unkind, murderous like hemp, on the other hand, he likes antiques and antiques, as well as those special works of art, so among the treasures he buried, in addition to gold and jade, there are many such things, and he also hired a special engineer to design the burial site, of course, the engineer was also killed later.
