No. 326 Countless treasures

Subsequently, the two of them searched according to the map and excavated each treasure one by one.

They excavated a large number of gold and silver jewelry, porcelain, works of art, ancient fossils, thread-bound books, religious artifacts, etc., on the outskirts of Manila, Corregidore, Mindanao, Mindoro and other islands.

Deep in the mountains of Luzon, there is a "Tunnel No. 8". The tunnel was 67 meters above the ground, and rows and rows of gold bars were piled up.

The outside of the tunnel was blasted with explosives, and the bones of hundreds of people were buried.

Because it is a secret treasure, there is no one guarding it outside, which is equivalent to a wilderness.

Qin Di and Yan Xue each had a spirit hoe, and quickly dug out boxes of gold jewelry and stored them in the Naxu gourd.

Historically, on September 2, 1945, after Japan's surrender in the Philippines, Yamashita was accused of war crimes for carrying out a mass genocide in Manila. The U.S. officials in charge of the trial learned from the CIA that Japan had buried treasures in the Philippines and did everything possible to obtain the secrets during the trial. However, during the trial, Yamashita did not really confess and resolutely refused to reveal the secret of the treasure. However, the driver who drove for Yamashita Fumi, Kojima Shaosa, attracted the special attention of the US judges.

Filipino-American intelligence officer Roman Ra imprisoned Kojima by accusing him of abuse and held a secret trial in order to uncover the Japanese treasure spot in the Philippines. Romanra has repeatedly tricked Kojima into providing information on the Golden Treasure. Around the beginning of October 1945, Kojima finally broke his silence and led Romanra to more than 12 treasure spots. These treasure spots are located in very run-down areas in the northern suburbs of Manila.

But the treasure found by the American army is only part of it, and how much gold the Japanese plundered from Southeast Asia has always been a mystery.

Later, Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos realized that there was still a lot of gold in the Philippines, so he secretly carried out official mining and mining many times to enrich his own pockets. 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." Based on the amount sold, Marcos' gold is estimated to be 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 aircraft carrier "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, there was the famous "Roxas Incident" in the Philippines. Roxas was a private Filipino treasure hunter who found a solid gold Buddha statue weighing about 1 ton in the mountains of northern Luzon in 1970, with a detachable head and a large number 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.

Since then, the secret of Japan's gold in Southeast Asia has been revealed, and the sheer amount of gold has been revealed, which shows 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. Some people once estimated that Japan had acquired nearly $100 billion in "war booty" in Southeast Asia, as well as many inestimable treasures, and this caused immeasurable losses to the Asian people.

After finding more "royal treasure spots", U.S. intelligence agencies quietly dug up billions of dollars worth of gold nuggets, diamonds, and platinum. Both General Douglas MacArthur and President Truman have made the excavation of these treasure spots a top US national secret from the very beginning.

Between 1945 and 1948, tens of billions of dollars worth of gold were shipped to the United States, and instead of returning it to victims in Southeast Asian countries, it was deposited in 176 banks in 42 countries, among which the Geneva branch of the Union Bank of Switzerland opened a gold account worth tens of billions of dollars in the name of "Lansdale"! After the dissolution of the Strategic Intelligence Agency, this huge wealth was taken over by the CIA and became its off-the-books funds, and its use and disposal were not subject to any supervision. What is shocking is that some of the gold has become the private property of the Americans, the largest of which is opened in the name of MacArthur's son Arthur MacArthur at the Credit Suisse Bank in Zurich, amounting to nearly 100 tons of gold, and former US President Hoover also has 7.5 tons of gold in his private account at the Credit Suisse Bank! The discovery of a large amount of treasure has greatly increased the capital of the United States in the Cold War.

According to US officials, the Truman administration used the treasures found by the United States in Asia, together with the treasures plundered by the German filaments that the United States had collected in Europe, as a "secret political action fund" to be used to finance the confrontation with the Soviet Union in the Cold War.

This time, since Qin Di is here, he wants to eat and wipe these treasures clean, and he won't even leave the residue of his mouth to the Americans!

The two of them moved quickly, digging five or six places a day, and in less than a month, all the treasure spots were dug up.

In fact, there are no 175 treasure spots, only 75 real treasure spots!

Qin Di didn't bother to calculate how much he had gained, in addition to gold and silver, there were diamonds, jewelry, jadeite, agate, ivory, coral, tortoiseshell, and even wood from small-leaved red sandalwood!

Yan Xue also wanted to find the place where the Awa Maru sank and fish up the gold and silver, but she couldn't locate it in the sea and didn't know the specific location of the wreck, so she had to give up.

Later, they traveled to a remote town in Indonesia, found the warehouse of Fangjia Sugar Store, and took 13,000 tons of white sugar that had been stored for several years.

Immediately afterward, they sailed to Japan on a merchant ship.

On the afternoon of January 10, Qin Di met his third uncle Qin Hanxu.

Not far from Tokyo, near the sea, Chiba Prefecture has a mansion that covers ten acres of land surrounded by ivy fences, and although it is winter, the grass has not yet withered.

In these days, ordinary Japanese people are very poor, and a rich man like Qin Hanxu is relatively rare, and occupying a ten-acre manor with his financial resources is already very low-key.

Keiko looked very happy when she saw him and Yan Xue, and kept shushing and asking for warmth.

"Why are you here? You must be tired from a long journey, bumpy along the way, right?"

Qin Di smiled: "I'm not tired at all. Let's come and see you, and we have to rush back before the Spring Festival. ”

Keiko said: "I heard that you have a pair of twins, why don't you bring them here?

Yan Xue asked, "We haven't seen Qin Xi for a long time, and we want to grow into big girls." ”

Keiko smiled: "No, Ah Xi is 12 years old, and he is about the same height as me." I'm still in school. ”
