There are many unknown secrets throughout World War II. As someone said, the first thing to be eliminated in a war is not the enemy, but the truth
What is the biggest secret in the Asian theater throughout World War II? There is no doubt that for all historians who study World War II, they will give you the same answer - gold! Japan plundered gold from other Asian countries! This batch of gold not only dominated the war process in Japan during World War II to a certain extent, but also had a profound impact on the political structure of Asia after the war
I'm afraid no one knows how much gold Japan plundered from Asia during World War II. This is a secret among secrets. This secret can only be revealed to the public through some "accidental" events that are exposed to public view. Gotta get a glimpse.
During World War II, Japan's gold plundering of Asian countries was completely organized, divided, planned, and systematically carried out with strict measures. Everywhere the Japanese army went, whether it was individuals, companies, banks, or countries, or even temples and The gold wealth of criminal groups and underground economic groups were swept away by the Japanese like locusts crossing the border. At that time, the person who directed and was responsible for Japan's carpet-like plunder of the gold resources of the occupied countries was a member of the Japanese royal family personally appointed by Emperor Hirohito of Japan. The main persons in charge are two Japanese royal princes, Tamiya Tsuneori and Kaguya Hatohiko. These two Japanese royal princes personally command a secret military organization called "Golden Lily" to be responsible for the search for gold in the Japanese-occupied areas
Many of these golds were transported back to Japan and stored in some abandoned mines, while others were hidden in secret locations in the Japanese mountains. After World War II, several surviving workers in South Korea recalled that they were The forced labor they were forced to participate in after being captured by the Japanese was to help the Japanese move the gold they plundered into abandoned mines or tunnels. Most of the workers were killed by the Japanese after completing their tasks
Most of the gold and treasures plundered from the country were transported to the country by the Japanese, while the gold and treasures plundered from Southeast Asia were transported to the Philippines by the Japanese. Then ship it back to Japan from the Philippines.
Among the gold plundered to the Philippines, the largest shipment occurred in October 1942. Japan blatantly violated international law. After secretly refitting a hospital ship named "Tenying Maru" with an International Red Cross flag, Japan transported more than 2,000 tons of gold from the Philippines to Japan at one time. On the day after Japan surrendered, that is, August 17, 1945, in order to hide the secret of the "Tenying Maru" transporting gold, the "hospital ship" was blown up by the Japanese navy
In addition, there is the Japanese gold-carrying ship that everyone is familiar with, which is the "Awa Maru". During a transportation mission of the "Awa Maru", the ship was sunk by a US submarine. When the "Awa Maru" sank, the ship contained more than 40 tons of gold, 12 tons of silver, and 150,000 carats. diamonds and 40 boxes of treasures
In order to transport this gold back to Japan, the Japanese most commonly used warships on November 5, 1944. The Japanese cruiser Nachi was sunk by a U.S. Navy carrier-based aircraft near Manila Bay. During the subsequent salvage, 1,800 gold bricks were recovered from the wreckage of the cruiser "Nachi"
In the latter stages of World War II, with the defeat of the Japanese army in the Pacific battlefield, the channel for transporting this gold back to the country by sea was cut off. These huge and unknown amounts of gold stayed in the Philippines and became hidden gold treasures. There are more than 170 documented locations of these gold treasures. And this is not all of it
The first secret Japanese gold burial site discovered in the Philippines after the war was located in Santa Romana, Philippines. When the Japanese army was retreating steadily in the Philippines. The Philippine guerrillas once discovered that they had transported a large number of heavy boxes into a cave and then sealed the exit with explosives. After Japan surrendered, based on the guerrillas' intelligence, the US military found this secret burial site and discovered more than 2,300 items from it. tons of gold, which were then secretly transported to the United States
Working together with the United States to share some of the gold that Japan looted from Asian countries during World War II became an important condition for the United States to shelter Japanese war criminals and complete political peace with Japan after the war
Later Philippine President Marcos discovered this secret and successfully found several huge Japanese gold burial sites in the Philippines, and discovered huge amounts of gold in them. Since then, the London Gold Exchange, the largest in the world, has , a kind of gold called "Marcos Black Hawk" originating from the Philippines began to be sold in large quantities there for a long time. The amount of gold traded was enough to make anyone stunned. It far exceeded the gold reserves of the entire Philippines at that time.
The appearance of the "Marcos Black Hawk" on the London Gold Exchange, which far exceeded the gold reserves of any country's central bank, attracted the attention of Americans. On February 21, 1986, former US Secretary of State Henry Kissinger wrote A letter to Marcos asking Marcos toMarcos handed over the gold he discovered to some banks in the United States for "safekeeping." To this request, Marcos's answer was "no." After Marcos rejected Kissinger's "friendly proposal," the United States' " Eisenhower" aircraft carrier arrived in the Philippines. With the help of the Americans, a revolution broke out in the Philippines. The "dictator" Marcos regime was overthrown. Some "democrats" stepped onto the political stage in the Philippines. The American aircraft carrier came , left again, and the "Marcos Black Hawk" that once frequently refreshed exchange transaction records on the London Gold Exchange also disappeared with it
Subsequently, American Hollywood, which has always been uninterested in political themes, made a movie that eulogized and praised the "revolutionary spirit" and "democratic temperament" of the Filipino people who had the courage to resist the tyranny of the Marcos dictatorship. In the film, a diplomat from the US Embassy Diplomats and brave and righteous American soldiers, inspired by the "great internationalist spirit", provided all kinds of help to the suffering Filipino people. In the end, Marcos was overthrown, and the Filipino people finally "lived a happy life in democracy" life"¡¡
¡°All evidence shows that it is an indisputable fact that the Philippines contains huge gold treasures plundered by Japan during World War II
In fact, since World War II, the news that there are treasures plundered by the Japanese buried in many places in the Philippines has spread like wildfire throughout the Philippines, and many private treasure hunters have appeared in the Philippines.
In the 1970s, a Filipino private treasure hunter named Roxas discovered a solid gold Buddha statue with a typical Siamese-Khmer style in the mountains of northern Luzon. The Buddha statue weighed about 1 ton, with a detachable head and body. There are also a large number of rare jewelry hidden inside. Various media in the Philippines got wind of it. The dazzling jewelry and the one-ton pure gold Buddha statue caused a sensation throughout the Philippines
To this day, many Japanese still come to the Philippines every year in the name of tourism to look for the gold and treasures buried here by their "ancestors"
How much gold did Japan plunder from Asian countries? American World War II historians estimate this to be about more than 60,000 tons
There is no fucking justice in this world, everything is fake, only fists and interests are real - in the past few years, after gaining an in-depth understanding of most of the history of the Japanese burying gold in the Philippines, Xiaopang gave birth to such emotion. He also had a deeper understanding of the six-character mantra that Long Liexue taught him.
Xiaopang didn¡¯t know how much gold was in the gold burial sites on the drawing in his hand. According to the information he collected, the gold in these gold burial sites could range from dozens to thousands of tons. Some of the gold burial sites discovered by Marcos at that time exceeded 2,000 tons. Marcos once deposited part of the gold he discovered into the UBS Company, and then the UBS Bank Company issued a certificate for Marcos. The largest individual gold letter of credit in human history - 7,120 tons.
Therefore, as long as the gold stock in the buried spot exceeds 10 tons, it is destined to be difficult to find it by sneaky means and get it out of the Philippines. Therefore, the gold must be obtained in an aboveboard way. From this, tk International Investment Company was born. The company's name comes from the pinyin abbreviation of the first two characters of Xiaopang's name.
In the past four years, tk company's business in the Philippines has been mainly concentrated in several major areas such as ports, shipping, real estate, construction, and mining investment. With its strong financial strength, tk company has been very successful in the Philippines in four years. Since then, it has become a relatively powerful and influential investment company with a Chinese-funded background. The invisible industry chain that connects the company's major investment areas has made sufficient and necessary preparations to extract that batch of gold. Who would have thought that someone could endure four years after getting the gold treasure map, circling the treasure step by step, arranging backup plans, not alerting the snake, but waiting for the right opportunity like a cheetah? .
The more big things you do, the more you need to be calm!
Xiaopang did it. In the past four years, he made a lot of second-generation friends in the powerful circles in Manila, had an affair with a contestant in the Philippine national beauty pageant, and even invested in a photo shoot for the rumored girlfriend in the Philippines. He has made a TV series, invested in hotels, ports and other businesses, made profits and losses, bought oil tankers, played yachts, had a conflict with a local family in Antique Province, and was also a guest of the boss of the largest Chinese family in the Philippines
When he first came to the Philippines, Xiaopang often felt like he was being watched. Polaris security experts once discovered that his private phone was tapped. Tk Company also encountered many troubles in its first real estate investment projects. In four years, Finally, the secretive gazes that once focused on him disappeared. Two years ago, the phone that had been bugged was finally "clean". Now, no one in the Philippines would regard TK Company as a foreign company and leave. Enter the high-end restaurants frequented by the upper class in Manila.Almost everywhere he went, including hotels and private clubs, Xiaopang could meet a few acquaintances who greeted him
Last year, when the Asian financial crisis hit the Philippines, Xiaopang knew that the opportunity he had been waiting for had finally arrived.
