Chapter 2878 Gold Hidden Tunnel
Meng Shaoyuan met a guy who gave him a lot of headaches.
Sophisticated people are just like decorations in front of Takasago Makoto.
Shibu Taniguchi's mission is to inspect gold in various places in the Philippines.
But this has nothing to do with him, Master Meng.
His only mission is to transport as much gold as possible.
But after Takasago Cheng heard Meng Shaoyuan's "mission", he immediately became more serious.
He first took out several thick account books: "Your Excellency Taniguchi, please allow me to report my work to you."
ah?
Meng Shaoyuan hadn't eaten a bite of food so far, and he was terribly hungry: "Takasago-kun, don't be so anxious. Have you eaten?"
"Eat." Takasago Makoto replied forcefully.
Holy shit!
Normally, when a guest asks this question, it means that the guest hasn't eaten yet.
But you're fine, just say that?
After saying that, without waiting for Meng Shaoyuan to react, Takasha Makoto reported his work seriously.
How much gold and how much silver was being transported to Sumalaga one after another.
When were they delivered and what were the specific handover circumstances?
Where are these gold and silver currently being temporarily stored?
Nothing is too small or too small, nothing is missed.
Meng Shaoyuan was tired and thirsty, and what was terrible was that he had no interest in any of this.
He only cares about numbers and hiding places.
Especially Tunnel No. 6.
Using tunnels to hide gold is just an idea of the Yamayuri Club, but Takasago Makoto has already implemented it in advance.
The tunnel numbers used by the Japanese army to hide gold in the Philippines are very unique.
There is no fixed number for each tunnel.
It doesn’t mean that the first one to dig is Tunnel No. 1.
This is to maximize confusion.
For example, after the war, it was generally believed that the last treasure trove of Japanese troops in the Philippines was Tunnel No. 8.
After placing boxes of gold into a tunnel more than 60 meters deep, members of the Mountain Lily Society, hired Filipino engineers, and workers "said goodbye" to the gold and held a grand ceremony.
After the ceremony, Yamashita Tomofumi and members of the Japanese royal family entertained these engineers and workers in the tunnel.
After these engineers and workers got drunk, Yamashita Fengfumi and others quietly evacuated, while Yamayurihui used explosives to blow up the tunnel, burying the gold and the locals in the tunnel!
The Japanese thought they were able to do so without being noticed, but they never expected that one person would be missed despite being so careful.
This man is Ben Walmorris, the valet of Emperor Hirohito's nephew Takeda.
After the farewell ceremony, Takeda left early because of physical discomfort, and his servant Ben Woolmorris also left with him.
Yamayuri would kill all the locals involved in the plan, but they forgot that Prince Takeda's servants were also locals.
By the time they remembered, the horrified Ben Walmorris had already fled.
In order to search for Ben Wormorice, Yamashita Fengfumi searched everywhere in the Philippines, killing innocent people indiscriminately, and even caused the "Manila Massacre" that shocked the world.
Unfortunately, they failed to find Ben Walmorris in the end.
On September 2, 1945, after the Japanese Emperor announced "unconditional surrender," Yamashita was desperate and surrendered to the U.S. military stationed in the Philippines.
Immediately, U.S. Army Lieutenant General Steyer ordered the establishment of an "independent committee" to conduct a secret interrogation of Yamashita Fengfumi in advance.
During the interrogation, Yamashita Fengfumi flatly denied "large-scale plundering of property."
However, the U.S. military already had two people in their hands. Both of them knew something about Yamashita Fongfumi and the "Yamayuri Society"'s actions of robbing wealth and burying treasures.
One of them was Ben Walmorris who had escaped, and the other was Yamashita Tobumi's driver, Major Kojima.
Under the temptation of US military intelligence personnel, both men revealed some secrets of the treasure they knew.
Although they did not get the information they wanted from Yamashita Fengwen, having two insiders in their hands already made the US military extremely happy.
Since then, the United States has unearthed and transported at least more than $40 billion worth of gold, silver and other treasures from the Philippines.
According to declassified information, the largest amount of gold obtained by the US military was from a cave in Santa Romana, Philippines. At least one hundred tons of gold were dug out by them.
Of course, Tunnel No. 8, which Ben Walmorris knew, has also been excavated.
Tunnel No. 8 was the last tunnel of the Japanese army in the Philippines, and it was something Americans at the time firmly believed in.
But decades later, they finally discovered that the tunnel numbers were simply made up randomly.
Because, they discovered another "Tunnel No. 8" in a remaining document.
And it is hundreds of miles away from Tunnel No. 8 discovered by the US military.
As for the wealth in the second tunnel No. 8, it is very likely that the president of the Philippines discovered it.
It must be said that the Japanese have done a very good job in keeping this secret, and have even successfully deceived the Americans.
Now where is this tunnel No. 6?
When all the reports were finally completed, Meng Shaoyuan looked at the time and saw that it was already close to midnight.
He quickly stood up and said, "That's it for today, Takasago-kun. I'll take my leave now."
Takasago Makoto didn't even ask where they could stay at such a late hour. He just said with a cold face as usual: "Okay, we will meet here at nine o'clock tomorrow morning and I will take you to visit the building under construction."
typical."
"Okay, Takasago-kun."
How could Meng Shaoyuan be willing to stay here for one more second?
…
"how's it going?"
"Are you hungry?"
"I'm hungry."
"There's no place to get food. Li Zhifeng, why don't you bring some food?"
"Ah, you also want to put on some shoes for me?"
Meng Shaoyuan sighed: "Fifteen tons."
"What fifteen tons?"
"In Sumalaga, there are fifteen tons of gold, as well as a large amount of silver and platinum."
Li Zhifeng and others swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
Although I have already seen it once in Manila, who can resist the temptation of gold?
"Boss." Fazheng said carefully: "If you add the ones from Manila, the quantity will be too much. It will be difficult for us to transport them all, right?"
"Not only that, but also the gold discovered by Gan Ning and Xu Zhu." Meng Shaoyuan regained his composure in an instant: "If these are not transported away, they will be left to the Americans and the Filipinos. Do you think I will be willing to do so?"
Fazheng smiled bitterly.
But it is really difficult to transport so much gold.
This is true even for Meng Shaoyuan, the strongest agent on the surface.
"But before that, I have to do one thing."
"What's up?"
"Deal with Takasago Makoto."
"Why?"
"This person is too rigid." Meng Shaoyuan said coldly: "Such a person will cause serious damage to our plan."
Takasago Makoto himself was not wrong.
The fault lies in his lack of understanding of the world.
