Chapter 404: The First Hearing of the Golden Lily (I) (Asking for a subscription, asking for a monthly pass, asking for various !! )
Nobuhiro Matsumoto finally gave in, he wasn't a real warrior in the first place, he was just a relatively successful businessman, that's all! Therefore, he did not have the courage to fight to the death, or even die for his country, so he gave in.
According to Matsumoto Nobuhiro, the Matsumoto family to which he belonged was only a very small business family in Osaka, and he himself was only a side child of the Matsumoto family. According to the rules of the family, the collateral children do not have the right to inherit the family property, so the collateral children can choose to enter the family business to exercise and serve when they become adults, and they can also choose to accept gifts from the family and leave the family with a relatively large amount of money.
Of course, this fund is more like compensation, because once you leave the family, even if the side children no longer have anything to do with the family, of course, they can't use the Matsumoto family to do things outside. At the age of 16, Nobuhiro Matsumoto left the family with a little money allocated by the family and started a small business in Osaka Castle.
Nobuhiro Matsumoto's business talent was still amazing, and after twenty years of hard work, he completed the original accumulation of capital and became a well-known businessman in Osaka Castle. In the past 20 years, his assets have increased from 2,000 yen when he left the family to 1.2 million yen, and the rate of asset appreciation is not unfast.
Originally, Matsumoto's life trajectory would be like that of other side children of the family who have made their way to the top, and when the wealth has accumulated to a certain extent, he can choose to return to the family and become an elder of the family, or use his wealth to build a new family. However, a chance chance completely changed his fate.
Nobuhiro Matsumoto has a friend. His name is Torii Ryuzo, and he is a scholar at the University of Tokyo. Like all scholars, Torii Ryuzo's life is not very satisfactory, but Torii Ryuzo is very different from ordinary people, his ancestor was a powerful samurai, so he is born with an adventurous factor in his genes.
After the Sino-Japanese War, Japan occupied Taiwan and the Liaodong Peninsula with strong force, and Torii Ryuzo studied the history of modern China, and he believed that the weak Qing government had completely surrendered to the foreign powers, including the Japanese Empire, and that the opportunity to make a fortune had come.
Torii Ryuzo's so-called opportunity to make a fortune is nothing else. It is the theft of Chinese cultural relics. Tomb robbing is the most profitable business, so Torii Ryuzo brought a few Japanese ronins to China. In 1905, Torii Ryuzo conducted surveys and excavations in the Liaodong Peninsula and the northeastern region, and they discovered a large number of ancient Chinese tombs, some of which were Korean. This shameless excavation continued until 1911.
During this period, Torii Ryuzo shipped all the stolen artifacts back to Japan and sold them at a high price. He soon became a well-known antiquities dealer and collector in Japan. As a friend. Torii Ryuzo did not hide it from Matsumoto Nobuhiro, and at the same time hoped to cooperate with Matsumoto Nobuhiro to carry out larger-scale smuggling and excavation of cultural relics.
For this kind of lucrative business, Matsumoto Nobuhiro coveted it. The two hit it off, and soon a tomb robbery group consisting of Matsumoto Nobuhiro and Torii Ryuzo landed in China again. For a time, the ancient tombs in Northeast China suffered a disaster, and the tombs with a little clue could not escape the excavation of this group of robbers, during which Matsumoto Nobuhiro and Torii Ryuzo also joined hands with Hamada Kosaku of Kyoto Imperial University to excavate the Lushun Diaojiatun Han Tomb.
As this criminal business continued, Matsumoto Nobuhiro's assets expanded rapidly, and by 1928 his personal fortune had reached 11.2 million yen, making him one of the few wealthy businessmen in Osaka City, and even the entire Matsumoto family had less than one-tenth of his personal assets.
Nobuhiro Matsumoto thought that he had reached the most glorious time of his life, and that he would no longer be bothered by money in his later life, so he planned to establish his own Matsumoto family in Osaka Castle. But at this time, someone found him and asked him to join an organization - Golden Lily!
Originally, Matsumoto Nobuhiro didn't plan to join this kind of strange organization that came to his door, but when he learned what this Golden Lily Organization was doing, Matsumoto Nobuhiro knew that he had no other choice, unless he joined, he would be completely destroyed humanely, because this organization is not a non-governmental commercial organization, but a mysterious organization that serves the Japanese royal family.
After joining the Golden Lily, Nobuhiro Matsumoto learned that the "Golden Lily Organization" was a special organization established only to carry out a plan called the Golden Lily, which was mainly to persistently and covertly plunder the wealth of the occupied country, mainly gold and other cultural relics and artworks. The main organizers of this plan were members of the imperial family, and its executors included a number of high-ranking military officers and independent business geniuses in Japanese society, such as Nobuhiro Matsumoto.
As for when this organization was founded, Matsumoto Nobuhiro does not know, and certainly has no right to know. However, he knew that this organization had fully entered China in 1931, and that he was one of the main responsible persons in charge of the Chinese side, and that it was none other than Prince Kanin Miyazahito, chief of staff of the Japanese army's base camp, who really gave orders to them.
They entered China primarily to accomplish the task of ensuring that the vast wealth plundered by the occupying forces in the occupied country would eventually flow into the emperor's coffers. Therefore, the Golden Lily Organization is a mysterious organization affiliated with the Japanese Imperial Family, which includes experts in finance, accounting, bookkeeping, shipping, and various treasures. Institutions are supervised by members of the royal family and are carried out through the manipulation of the underworld.
Along with Matsumoto and the others, there were tens of thousands of Japanese ronin and members of the Black Dragon Society, and perhaps many of you have heard of the Yamaguchi-gumi, Japan's largest legal underworld! But in fact, the Yamaguchi-gumi is just a small society that only rose after the fall of the Black Dragon Society, and even when the Yamaguchi-gumi was at its strongest, it was impossible to compare with the Black Dragon Society.
The Black Dragon Society is a very large underworld supported by the Japanese military department, and it is a real violent gang, with tens of thousands of real core members and hundreds of thousands of peripheral members, and a strict organizational structure and community system. After the Black Dragon Society entered Northeast China, it squeezed China's wealth like milking, and the Golden Lily Organization wanted to ensure that the Japanese imperial family could eat the layer of cream that was squeezed out, and also eat the largest piece.
The Golden Lily Organization is very secretive, except for the members of the organization, only a few high-ranking officers at the commander level know about their existence, even the division commanders at the rank of lieutenant general do not know about them. Take the North China Front Army as an example, only one person in the entire Front Army, General Binshan Yuan, knows their true identity, and the others do not know their true identity.
It's just that Nobuhiro Matsumoto never thought that he would capsize in the gutter, and it turned so badly.
Chen Feng did not doubt Matsumoto Nobuhiro's words, on the one hand, because Matsumoto Nobuhiro now had no way out, after Matsumoto Nobuhiro was captured, Chen Feng used his strong makeup skills to reorganize a "Matsumoto Nobuhiro", and then sent a ship flying the American flag to the Philippines.
Yesterday the freighter docked at the port of Manila, and then transported a large number of iron boxes from the ship, and at the same time "Matsumoto Nobuhiro" also appeared on the dock.
In addition, a number of newspapers and magazines in Saibei Province published news that Chinese intelligence officers had successfully plotted against Japanese high-ranking spies, and Chen Feng, commander of the Eighth Theater of Operations, took a group photo with them. In addition, the disappearance of the Flying Dragon battleship this time is really too strange, so the Japanese government will only believe that Matsumoto Nobuhiro is guarding the theft, and will not suspect anything else at all.
Matsumoto Nobuhiro is now yellow mud falling into the crotch of his pants, not or, no matter how it can be explained, so Chen Feng believes that Matsumoto Nobuhiro will not deceive himself. The second is that he is not ignorant of this Golden Lily Organization and the Golden Lily Scheme, in addition to Du Niang, Chen Feng was also fortunate to have access to some secret documents back then, which mentioned this organization and this plan many times.
After the war, there were many doubts about Japan in World War II, first of all, that Japan's military and political head Hirohito and the entire imperial family could escape the judgment of divine justice, and still be able to retain the position of emperor, and become a national symbol of Japan.
Second, why Japan was not paid war reparations after surrendering, even if China, Korea and other victim countries did not pursue Japan with virtue to repay their grievances, but at least those property and art that were robbed by Japan should also be recovered, but in fact there are no such things, except for a small part of the property looted by Japan from Asian countries was recovered, the rest is missing.
The third question is how much money Japan plundered in Asia, and after the war, it was as if it had completely evaporated, and where did this wealth go.
The last thing is that Japan's post-war rise is so weird that those things in textbooks can only be used for pure students, and normal people won't believe it at all. It is a miracle that it took less than 20 years for Japan, which was almost bombed to ruins, to become the world's second largest economic power.
The Japanese explained this miracle for various reasons, such as the non-military system, the huge orders of the United States for the Korean War, and the high quality of the Japanese, but a careful analysis shows that none of these could make Japan the second most powerful country in the world. Everything ultimately points to a place, an organization, and a reason!
One place is the Imperial Palace of Japan, another organization is the Golden Lily Organization, and one reason is huge wealth! Many well-known scholars from all over the world believe that the reason why Japan was able to rise in such a short period of time is entirely due to the contribution of the Japanese Imperial Family, and that what makes the Japanese Imperial Family so powerful is the Golden Lily Organization, and the force that promotes the rapid development of Japanese society is the large amount of huge wealth hidden by Japan during World War II.
