Onoda Jiro's diary at the beginning recorded some daily events, but as time went by, he recorded fewer and fewer things, but every time a submarine entered the base, he recorded them all at once.Yang Jing finally counted, from May 2, 1943, when the unit entered the base, and then received the first batch of supplies on May 8, 1943, to the evening of June 7, 1944, when the unit withdrew from the base, during this period, the base received a total of 67 Japanese submarines transporting goods into the base.You must know that the submarines used by the Japanese army to transport property are the worst of the main submarines with a displacement of more than or close to 1,500 tons on the water.The most frequently transported of these was the I-2 submarine that entered the area for the first time.The main submarine of the Navy, alone, has entered this base as many as 38 times!
Only the main submarine of the Navy can have a rich transport volume of more than 100 tons.In other words, back then, the little devils used the main submarine to transport these belongings, and the weight of the belongings transported in each time was at least 100 tons.Combined with the diary of Onoda Jiro, almost every time a submarine came here, it would transport some small and heavy goods, most of which were mainly precious metals.In other words, the precious metals received by this base alone are at least more than 6,700 tons!
Although this number is almost insignificant compared to the twenty-four warehouses in the entire base, if the precious metals brought in were gold, platinum, and all kinds of gold and silver jewelry and silver dollars, then the full 6,700 tons of precious metals would definitely be worth a fortune.Even if there is only 1,000 tons of gold in it, it is worth 40 billion US dollars now.But obviously, Xiao Yueben would definitely not let such a hidden base store some precious metals of low value, so in this base, the most stored thing back then should be gold!
In fact, this can also be seen from the running account, the four warehouses managed by the warehouse management alone contain more than 400 tons of gold bricks, gold leaf and gold jewelry!"
June 6, 1944, overcast.This evening, Nakamura-kun specially asked us to come out again, because Nakamura-kun said that tomorrow night we will evacuate here and return to the mainland, and tonight will be our last night on this island.I know that the situation in the Pacific Ocean is already imminent for the Empire, and even if I don't know the specific situation outside, the number of American reconnaissance planes and fighter planes that have skimmed over the island every day in the past two months has skyrocketed, which is enough to show that the situation outside is very urgent, and it seems that the Americans are approaching Guam or Saipan.Nakamura-kun told me that it was the American fleet that had broken through to the Marshall Islands a few months earlier, and that it had now surrounded Guam and Saipan, and that the decisive battle between Guam and Saipan would probably begin in the next few days.Nakamura-kun also said that because the base we are stationed is too important, in order to avoid being discovered by the Americans, the operation to transport supplies has ended, and we will leave here on a Navy ship tomorrow night.As for the materials in the base, they are temporarily stored here, anyway, it is hidden enough that the Americans will not find this base.If you do the math, it has been more than 13 months since I came here on May 2 last year.It's really boring, but it's safe, unlike my colleagues in the Marshall Islands and New Guinea, who are in danger of crumbling every day.Today is the last day of my stay here, and I write my last diary entry here tonight.Hopefully I'll be able to get to home safely, and hopefully the Empire will triumph over the damned Americans!
”Yang Jing took his eyes off the diary, which was the last of the two diaries left by Onoda Jiro.Obviously, if nothing else, the army that had been stationed at this secret base for more than a year would leave the base the next day.But the supplies stored here won't leave with them.It's inevitable to think about it.I probably didn't expect the Americans to come so quickly and so violently, so I couldn't get rid of all the huge belongings stored in this base at that time.The speed of the Americans' attack was obviously beyond his expectations.At the end of 1943, the Americans began to attack the Marshall Islands, the last strategic line of defense before Guam and Saipan, and as a result, the Americans, with their superior air power, completely defeated the Marshall Islands in less than two months.The defeat in the Battle of the Marshall Islands dealt a heavy blow to the Japanese army, and before he could even shake off the shadow of the loss of the Marshall Islands, the Americans took advantage of the momentum of the Marshall Islands victory and marched to Guam and Saipan in just four months.In the Americans' attack plan, Guam, Saipan, Iwo Jima, and the Ogasawara Islands are the second island chain, and with the loss of the Marshall Islands, the first island chain that he used to resist the US Navy, that is, the Gilbert Islands, the Marshall Islands, and Wake Island, have all been lost, and the so-called "second island chain" of the United States is facing attack by the Americans.The Americans were very quick to attack Guam and Saipan in less than four months after the Marshall Islands were settled, which caught him by surprise.Although he said that he had promptly reinforced a large number of troops to Saipan and Guam, the entire second island chain was actually under the attack and surveillance of the US naval aviation.Yang Jing knew from historical data that in fact, the attack plan formulated by the Americans at that time was to attack Saipan on June 15 and land on Guam on June 18, but the invasion of Guam was postponed for a month due to the very stubborn resistance of an unpredictable large number of defenders on Saipan and the large-scale attack of Japanese aircraft carriers.In this case, the materials stored in this base in the Maug Islands naturally cannot be transported.By this time in the entire Pacific Campaign, they had completely lost air supremacy, and they could only rely on the strong fortifications on the islands to resist the Americans' attack.However, the high-level officials of Xiao Yuben are obviously very relieved about the concealment of this base, after all, it is underwater, and the Maug Islands are not a strategic place, so it is almost impossible for the Americans to find this place, so they dare to rest assured and boldly evacuate the Japanese troops on duty here, leaving only the materials and property here.Yang Jing put down the diary in his hand, shook his head slightly, and thought: "I just don't know when the little devil transported the belongings stored in this base" "But now it is almost certain that this batch of treasures secretly stored in this base is stored by Hirohito's guy nine times out of ten."
After all, this base is so hidden, it is really suitable for storing some secret wealth that is not known to outsiders.Now it seems that the Japanese army base camp did not agree with Yamamoto 56's wealth diversion plan at that time, I am afraid that it had ulterior motives, because once the base camp issued a clear order, then the matter was clear.And the reason why he did not issue a clear order, but at the same time allowed Onishi Takijiro to build this base here, must be because he did not want this matter to be made public, at least it would not be spread among the top echelons of the military, so as to achieve the purpose of secrecy.And the only one who can do this is Hirohito.After all, that guy is the emperor of Yumoto!
”"Perhaps, Hirohito had already anticipated the defeat of Yumoto, and he began to seek a way back for himself at that time!""
Well, that's definitely the case.After the war, so many high-ranking officials were executed, but only Hirohito, the biggest culprit, did not have a.Among the heads of state of the three Axis powers, Hitler committed suicide with his mistress, Mussolini was arrested and executed, but Hirohito didn't have any!
And MacArthur, that bastard, dared to defy the world's condemnation and openly favor Hirohito.There may be an ulterior motive in which the United States wants to continue to support Hirohito as a puppet after the war to achieve control of Hirohito, but there are also many people who say that MacArthur privately accepted an unknown amount of wealth from Hirohito, which made MacArthur openly protect Hirohito. ”Yang Jing shook his head again, at that time, after the end of World War II, many allies demanded that Hirohito be executed, but he did not agree, and the condition of their surrender was to retain the position of Emperor Hirohito, and the countries led by the United States agreed.And MacArthur, who was a five-star general at the time, tried his best to protect Hirohito, saying: First, I will not let him die; Second, I will not let Hirohito abdicate.With such blatant protection, if there was no cat in it, Yang Jing would dare to pick out his eyeballs.MacArthur certainly made great contributions to the United States and World War II, but this guy's character is not as noble as people think, this American five-star general is actually a very selfish person, which Yang Jing has also read a lot of information to know.And after the defeat of Ben, he only paid 1.5 billion US dollars in compensation, and his sister was paid in installments.What is this compensation enough for?
Not to mention China and Southeast Asian countries and the Korean Peninsula, this amount of money is not enough even for the Americans to fight the Pacific War!
Why did MacArthur still protect Hirohito so much?
If there is no wind, there must be a sound (cause)!
With MacArthur's greed and selfishness, it would have been impossible for Hirohito to impress this powerful five-star general if he had given less money in private.Only if the wealth given by Hirohito made MacArthur feel frightened, this guy would spare no effort to protect Hirohito!
Is it possible that after the end of World War II, the huge Asian countries had only 5% of the world's gold reserves?
Where did all the gold reserves go?
And he was able to rise strongly again within seven years after the war, if he didn't have enough capital, how could he rise so quickly?
So where does all this money come from?
Obviously, most of the huge wealth that he looted in Asian countries was hidden, but some of it was definitely given to the top American leaders headed by MacArthur in private, which saved Hirohito's life.And the huge amount of wealth stored in this base is probably the bond between Hirohito and the Americans!
