Chapter 3520 Crazy Plunder

Chapter 3520 Crazy Plunder

The elimination of Japanese troops in this area meant that the gold mining plan personally formulated by Meng Shaoyuan could finally be carried out smoothly.

As Meng Shaoyuan's earliest friend, although Kret is a foreigner, he is absolutely trustworthy.

This is also the main reason why Meng Shaoyuan assigned him such an important task.

And this is just the beginning of all the good stuff.

No one knows what will happen next.

Because this was a plan made by Meng Shaoyuan himself!

What is really in his mind? I am afraid no one in this world knows except himself.

But Major Garland was uneasy at this time.

Even his favorite coffee became tasteless in his mouth.

Crater's words kept circling in his mind.

gold?

Will there really be gold?

Or was Kret just joking?

But looking at him, he didn't seem to be joking.

In particular, after the Japanese troops here were completely cleared out, a large number of machines were also transported here.

Almost seamless connection.

In particular, there are quite a few large excavators among them.

How do they do it so fast?

Major Garland really couldn't understand it.

Perhaps, this is the "magic" of money in the hands of businessmen!

But Major Garland didn't want to care about that.

What he was thinking about were those large excavators!

What does Crater want with this?

Digging caves?

Yes, assuming that the Japanese army really buried gold here, they would definitely seal the cave.

If you want to bring this gold back to the light of day, an excavator is essential.

However, after Kret talked to him about gold, he never mentioned it again.

Since he won't say anything, then I'll take the initiative.

Garland took the initiative to walk into Crater's office.

Crater was discussing matters on the construction site with several foremen.

Major Garland was not in a hurry. He just found a place to sit down and waited quietly.

And, at the same time, he was listening.

That’s right, the task that Kret gave to several foremen was to dig somewhere.

Kret's guess seemed to be further confirmed.

After about half an hour, the task was finally completed.

Several foremen greeted Major Garland politely and left the office.

"Major, how come you have time to come here today?" Kret poured wine enthusiastically and handed a glass to Major Garland.

Major Garland took a sip and put down the glass: "Tell me about your plan, Mr. Crater."

"Plan? What plan?" Kret looked obviously surprised.

Major Garland could guess that the other party was just acting, but he said patiently: "Gold!"

Kret was silent.

After a while, Kret finally spoke: "Before talking about gold, I want to tell you one thing, Major. You must have heard about the cruelty and shamelessness of the Japanese army. Not only did they commit crimes in the occupied areas, but they also wanted to plunder every gold coin there!

Moreover, their plundering was planned and organized. The supreme leader was the so-called Emperor Hirohito of those monkeys. This systematic looting operation of Japan also had a resounding and beautiful name, the Golden Lily Project.

Major, have you heard about the tragedy that happened in Nanjing, China? Yes, the massacre, and after the massacre, the emperor's ruling group decided to monopolize all the wealth because they were worried that the soldiers' sporadic looting would destroy some inestimable cultural relics and avoid the gold and silver treasures falling into the private hands of Japanese officers and soldiers.

To this end, the Japanese side appointed Emperor Hirohito's younger brother, Chichibu Yoshihito, as the head of the plan, while other members of the royal family were in charge of branches in various occupied areas. The main executor of the plan was the Japanese army, and Japanese economic organizations also played an important role, and the gangs were accomplices. The plan also recruited a large number of experts, specifically in the fields of cultural relics identification, transportation, geology, and architecture. "

Major Garland listened very carefully, afraid of missing a single word!

"The special operations team of the Military Police was dispatched to carry out the Golden Lily Plan. They searched everywhere, seized the Chinese government's property, blew up bank vaults, and robbed wealthy families and businessmen. The whole process was very meticulous."

Kreter continued: "During this period alone, the Japanese secret police looted at least 6000 tons of gold, in addition to countless gems, works of art and antiques. Just like the Nazis knocked out the dentures of the Jewish victims, the Japanese bandits also liked to knock out gold teeth from the corpses. The difference is that this happened after the Japanese bandits dug graves on Chinese soil."

Major Garland gasped.

These cruel guys, what on earth have they done in China!

"While exploiting China, the Asian giant, Japan has not spared its other smaller neighbors. Wherever its iron hoof goes, the local people will be bitten hard." Krete's face became more and more gloomy:

"For example, in Korea, an old Japanese colony, the Japanese dug almost every inch of the ground to plunder. Although the country was weak, the celadon produced in Korea was world-famous. After robbing the celadon collected by the Korean court and the people, the Japanese were still not satisfied and excavated more than 2000 ancient tombs, including the Joseon royal tombs in Kaesong.

Afterwards, Japan shipped back tens of thousands of Korean cultural relics, including celadon, crowns, necklaces, and earrings, to Japan in the name of scientific research. Korean temples were not spared either, with exquisite Buddha statues and bronze bells being looted, and even metal religious utensils being plundered to be used to cast weapons.

As the looting operations in China were on track, in order to open up new battlefields, Chichibu Prince Yasuhito was appointed as the director of the Golden Lily Project in Southeast Asia, responsible for transporting the treasures looted by the Japanese army from the Philippines, Singapore, Malaysia, the Dutch East Indies and French Indochina back to Japan through fleets. After occupying Singapore, Chichibu Prince established the regional headquarters of the Golden Lily Project there, using Kuala Lumpur and Penang as transit points for the looting.

In the vault of the Central Bank of Malaysia in Kuala Lumpur, the Japanese looted many gold bars, each weighing 6.25 kilograms; in Cambodia, the Japanese looted about 1000 tons of gold; in the Philippine Treasury, there were 51 tons of gold, 172 tons of silver, 2700 million US Treasury bonds, and a large number of gems, most of which ended up in the hands of the Japanese. In July 1942, the Japanese even looted a 7-meter-high golden Buddha! These golds of different sizes from various countries would be transported to Ipoh, Malaysia, and recast into gold bars of uniform specifications. "

"Madmen, robbers, demons!" Major Garland said almost gritting his teeth, "These damn Japanese monkeys should all go to hell, all of them!"

"
