Regarding the ins and outs of this batch of gold, Yang Yi has also done a lot of investigation in the provincial capital for a while.

These hundreds of tons of gold are the stuff of Tsarist Russia, when Tsarist Russia was divided into internal strife, a Tsarist general fled with gold, entered the area of Manchuria occupied by the Japanese army, and was forced to exchange gold for the protection of the Japanese army.

Hundreds of tons of gold fell into the hands of the Japanese troops stationed in Manchuria.

Supposedly, such a huge amount of gold should be immediately escorted back to China and handed over to the national treasury, but in fact it was not.

The Japanese army had strict military discipline, but in the face of such a huge amount of gold, generals at all levels couldn't help but have all kinds of selfishness, and the final result was that these hundreds of tons of gold disappeared out of thin air, and the Russian general also came to Shanghai from the three eastern provinces under the arrangement of the Japanese army.

Yang Yi believed that the Russian nobleman who Deng Shiyou said before owning the house in the French Concession where Kong Zhongling lived was the Russian general who originally owned the gold.

If it weren't for Deng Shiyou's words, Yang Yi wouldn't be sure how true Nakamura Haoyue's words were.

But now he is somewhat sure, while the veins of the disappearance of hundreds of tons of gold are gradually clear in Yang Yi's heart, he also secretly admires the cunning of those Japanese generals who embezzled these golds in the first place!

According to the clues that Nakamura Haoyue contacted the Japanese military and wanted to hand over this batch of gold to the Japanese military headquarters, Yang Yi believes that the disappearance of this batch of gold may be far more than embezzlement, and it is likely to be a huge conspiracy of the Japanese military!

Since walking out of the mountain village, contacting Yang Quanlin and other revolutionary parties, and becoming the current Yang Ye, although Yang Yi is unwilling to change, he has to change.

He began to think about the world outside of himself and his family, and began to read more books to understand the pattern of the world today.

Japan's political system is actually very interesting.

They also had emperors, the emperors of Japan.

However, the Japanese emperor is different from the emperors in Chinese history, the Chinese emperor is a man of his word, life and death, and the Japanese emperor does not do much of this, Japan's cabinet ministers, the military department, have the power to balance the emperor.

In Yang Yi's view, this is progressive, after all, only checks and balances can there be no situation in which the entire country will pay the price for a certain decision error of the emperor.

Of course, this does not mean that decisions made under checks and balances are not wrong, but they are relatively less likely to be wrong.

There are advantages to decentralization of power, but of course there are drawbacks.

Conflicts arise when the opinions of the emperor, the military ministry, and the cabinet ministers do not coincide, especially when the power of some ministers or the military department can compete with the authority held by the emperor.

The disappearance of the gold, Yang Yi felt that it was related to the excessive power of the military department, which was enough to resist the authority of the emperor.

Otherwise, hundreds of tons of gold would have disappeared, and if the emperor had enough authority to investigate thoroughly, it would not have been impossible to find out at all, unless the power of the military department could neutralize the emperor's authority and make it impossible for the final investigation to continue.

In Yang Yi's analysis, the disappearance of this batch of gold is related to the Japanese military department, including personal embezzlement, and the military department's plan for the future.

Now the strength of the military department is inflated, and the armed invasion of the three eastern provinces to form Manchukuo, but they are far from satisfied, their final plan must be to use Manchuria as a bridgehead to annex the whole of China after they are full-fledged!

However, the military department's plan is really too crazy, after all, compared to Japan, which is a small country, wants to invade China, it is almost like a snake swallowing an elephant, and it will inevitably encounter too much resistance.

The Japanese military department was inevitably unwilling to give up what they believed could accomplish their plan to invade and occupy China, and they would inevitably look for all sorts of ways to expand their armaments.

Whether it is expanding armaments or waging war, it must be backed up by a large amount of materials.

Material is money!

Hundreds of tons of gold appeared at this time, which was too precious for the Japanese army!

Handed over to the national treasury, the gold will no longer belong to the Japanese military department, no matter what the military department needs money, it must get the nod of the cabinet and the emperor, where is there such a huge amount of gold in their own hands, and when they need to use it, they can call it directly?

Just like once the best time for war comes in the future, but if the emperor and the cabinet don't nod and have no money in their hands, then they can only miss the opportunity in vain.

But if there are enough funds in hand, even if the emperor and the cabinet do not nod, the military department will have enough funds to support them to start a war.

After the wood is settled, whether the war will continue or not is up to the emperor and the cabinet!

Although these are just Yang Yi's speculations, he feels that there is a high probability that this is true.

The Japanese military headquarters originally wanted to keep this batch of gold in their hands as a strategic reserve, but there was too much gold, and it was priceless, and if it was placed in the hands of a certain place or a certain person, once there was any difference, the loss would be too great.

Therefore, the Japanese military headquarters should have scattered this batch of gold and hid it all over China, and Nakamura Haoyue's father was the guardian of some of the gold hiding places, and after her father died, he told her the secret of the gold, so that Nakamura Haoyue went to Manchuria to meet with the military secret service and then met Yang Yi.

The Japanese military department was right in its concerns.

Although all the Japanese troops and the whole of Japan regarded the emperor as a god and kept saying that they were willing to die for the emperor, in the face of the huge amount of gold, there were still some people who were confused by this huge amount of wealth and made their minds dim.

From the news that Yang Yi consulted, he knew that after the high-level of the Japanese Kwantung Army changed guards and returned to China, he became rich once, and his money should be part of this gold.

This batch of gold should have been filled with a lot of people's pockets, but a large part of it was in the hands of the Japanese military department, and it was used to support King De to become another puppet Manchurian regime, and it was given to Guo Jinjun when he was wooing the warlords who were undecided, so that Cheng Quan, Wang Dongguo and others seized the clues and traced down Nakamura Haoyue.

Yang Yi even believed, for example, the group of bandits who attacked the village in his hometown, Xu Song said that the other party may have secretly accepted the Japanese army's funding, and he wondered if the money was also part of the gold, after all, a small group of bandits did not help the Japanese army, and if a large number of bandits were to support the bandit forces, the funds that would need to be consumed would not be half a star, and it would never be less than the support of King De, and it was far from enough to rely on the funds of the Japanese army itself!
