Chapter 598: Ledger


Except for the two bodyguards left to guard and guard outside, the other six bodyguards all wore masks and compressed air bottles and followed Yang Jing into the base.Even Chris, who is well-informed, was amazed when they saw the structure of this base.This base is not as good as many modern military bases today, but it is not easy to build one more than seventy years ago, especially the design similar to an airtight cabin, which makes Chris and his wife amazed."

Mark, you go outside and scour the barracks to see if there's anything missing."

Yang Jing commanded, and Mark nodded in agreement.The others followed Yang Jing and stood in front of the somewhat rudimentary airtight cabin, waiting for Clark to open the watertight door."

Boss, did the design of the airtight door of the spacecraft built by Armstrong when he landed on the moon be inspired by this?"

The group stood in the steel passageway, even with their masks, but Clarke's look of disbelief could still be seen."

Almost, I have been our Americans' little brother since the war, and it is estimated that this design would have been handed over to Roosevelt or Truman long ago after the war."

Chris joked with a smile, a little dull, but the crowd around him chuckled along.After the group of six people entered the base, Yang Jing ordered: "Open all the warehouse doors and see what good things are left inside." ”The five bodyguards responded with a bang and quickly ran towards the sturdy warehouses below, while Yang Jing left alone in this row of long houses similar to the base headquarters, and began to carefully check the materials in the desks in these houses.Yang Jing did not find any valuable information in these rooms outside, most of which were the expenses incurred by the officers and soldiers stationed in some bases for eating, drinking, and sleeping, as well as some basic information and daily supplies of the bases.However, from these materials, one conclusion can also be drawn, that is, although this secret base is not large, it actually has a squadron of army standards to garrison it.He said that his military establishment is different from that of China, and it is also different from that of the vast majority of countries in the world, and the military establishment of this country is a top-down structure of divisions, brigades, wings, brigades, squadrons, squadrons, and detachments.According to the establishment of the army during World War II, there were as many as 181 soldiers in one squadron.This base is not very large, compared with a military base in the ordinary sense, this kind of polar region with an area of less than 20,000 square meters can be described as a mini type, but the Japanese high-level personnel use a squadron of soldiers to garrison here, which is enough to prove that the high-level of the Japanese army attaches great importance to this secret base.It also shows that this warehouse must have contained a lot of good things and goods, otherwise the Japanese military high-level would not have attached so much importance to this base.Is it easy for you to send supplies to such a lonely military base?

Especially in the middle and late stages of World War II, the Americans had already achieved absolute sea and air supremacy in the Pacific Ocean, and it was absolutely not an easy task for them to always be careful not to be discovered by American reconnaissance planes if they wanted to deliver supplies to this base.Perhaps, the base has been closed since 1944, after all, in that year, the Americans took Guam back again, and the entire Mariana Islands were returned to the Americans.If this base had remained in this situation, I am afraid that the Americans would have discovered this base long ago.Don't think that Americans are good birds, the top people in this country are the most greedy guys in the world.Not to mention anything else, look at the situation after World War II when Americans are desperately trying to make money in their own country, where is making money, it is simply an open robbery with open fire!

This country is good at taking advantage of the fire to rob, whether it is the Germans, Italians, or the former Soviet Union after the disintegration, they have all been robbed by this country!

If the Americans knew that there was such a secret base in their territory that stored a lot of property, it would be equivalent to a piece of meat and bones in front of the vicious dog, and if the Americans didn't attack this base, the Sun would be happy to come out from the north!

Perhaps none of this information is secret, so it's easy to find it in these desk drawers.But none of these materials were what Yang Jing wanted to see, so when Yang Jing walked into the last room, his eyes fell on the safe placed in the corner.Judging from the decoration of this room, it is clear that this is where the highest commander stationed at the base usually works.Yang Jing took out all the materials in the drawer with hope, but it turned out that it was useless, and then Yang Jing broke the safe again, and it turned out to be empty.This made Yang Jing very disappointed.But it's no wonder that the information on the real situation of a secret base like this, such as what property is stored in the base, when it was brought in, and when it was pulled out, these things are top secrets, how can this kind of information be forgotten here?

However, Yang Jing picked up a cigarette case in a corner of the room, counting this cigarette case, Yang Jing had already picked up two different brands of cigarette boxes in this base, and on the way to the warehouse area, Yang Jing picked up a cigarette case in an inconspicuous corner.As soon as he joined up with a few of his subordinates, Kevin Martin brought Yang Jing an exciting news.It turned out that this guy actually found a running account book in the corner of an empty warehouse that was suspected to be left by the warehouse manager at that time.In any warehouse, the most fundamental ledger must be in the hands of the supreme governor, but at the same time, the treasury management personnel who are responsible for entering and exiting the warehouse must have a simple ledger that belongs to the treasury management himself, that is, something similar to the running account.Like the warehouse in this secret military base, there will definitely be a huge amount of property, and the warehouse manager can't remember all of them no matter how good his brain is, and no matter how long he reports the amount of warehouse inventory to the base commander, they need to set up a simple ledger and write down all the things in the warehouse that belong to their own management.Judging from this legacy ledger, this warehouse manager should be a single manager of four warehouses, accounting for one-sixth of all warehouses in the entire base.However, the four warehouses managed by this warehouse management office contained materials and wealth made Yang Jing a little thrilled to see.This journal is written in Japanese, neither Kevin Martin nor Chris can understand it, Yang Jing because he studied some Japanese on the "Japanese-English Dictionary" when he was in Lorengao, so he can barely recognize the things recorded in this journal.The format of the ledger is very simple, after all, it is just a journal, on which are written from left to right the serial number, the name of the item, the quantity, the source, and the date of storage.At the back of the book,There's also a record of going out of the library.,The record format is the same.。

Although the format of this journal is simple, the number of records in it is extremely staggering.For example, the first entry in the ledger reads like this: 1 (serial number), gold leaf, eight boxes (32 tons), Malaya, May 8, 1943.In other words, the first inventory of the four warehouses managed by this warehouse management was gold leaf looted by the Japanese army from Malaysia in Southeast Asia, with a total of 32 tons.That's a pretty scary number, 32 tons of gold leaf doesn't seem like a lot, but if you put it now, it's worth more than $1.2 billion.And records like this are densely written in this not thick ledger, and it is conceivable how many wealth looted by the Japanese army from all over the country are stored in these four warehouses alone!
