Chapter 586 Should I go take a look?
In fact, from these signed generals, we can roughly infer the areas where the generals who participated in this plan privately.
Needless to say, Sakaichi and Imamura are both senior generals, such as Yama Prefecture Masago, who is the commander of Kaohsiung in the southern part of the Bay Island; Akiyama Menzuo served as the commander of Kwajalin Island, the main island of the Marshall Islands; Morikunao served directly as the highest commander of the father island of the Ogasawara Islands; and Tanaka Raisan was the highest commander of Myanmar...
Judging from the map, most of the areas stationed by senior Japanese generals who participated in this plan were located in the first, second island chain and Southeast Asia. The sinking First Xinxing Maru transport ship, able to collect so many handwritten letters from senior generals, must have circled a big circle around this sea area.
Obviously, other generals except Sakaichi Deanuchi and Imamura may be a little worried about implementing this plan privately. After all, the base camp did not issue a clear order, so they implemented the plan privately. Strictly speaking, their approach is a serious violation of military orders, and even to be more profound, they are suspected of treason.
Oh, the highest level does not know about this, so you dare to secretly divide 20% of the property transported to the local area. What do you mean? Do you want to rebel?
So, although these senior generals have a clear conscience, they have to act carefully.
Yang Jing thought about it and felt embarrassed for these senior Japanese generals. To be fair, whether it was the plan proposed by Yamamoto Ioruka or the plan privately implemented by these senior generals under the leadership of Soichi Desouchi, it was actually for the sake of Japan's good. After all, the defeat of the Battle of Midway and the Battle of Guadalam has made the situation in Japan in the Pacific dangerous. High-level generals with vision will definitely see this, so it is very necessary to prepare in advance.
However, why did this plan not be approved by the base camp? No one can explain this. After all, so many years have passed, and all the senior Japanese generals in the base camp have died. No one can explain why the base camp did not give these generals a clear order back then.
Perhaps there are different voices within the base camp. After all, Yamamoto Iroku's status and record are still very powerful. Even if the plan he proposed does not agree with the base camp, he will definitely have supportive opinions.
If Isorosaki Yamamoto was not dead, I am afraid this wealth diversion plan could be implemented. But he was killed by the Americans, and the light was turned off. At this time, there were still many support Isorosaki Yamamoto at this time. It’s hard to say how many people in the base camp support Isorosaki Yamamoto.
Therefore, these senior generals who secretly implemented this plan under the leadership of Shouyi Sei Nai was actually quite worried. That is why they used the First Xingxing Masao to connect and "directly advise" the base camp in this way of handwritten letters.
I guess the first Xinxing Maru that year started from Singapore, first arrived west to Myanmar, then returned to Bay Island and the Philippines, then east to the father island of Ogasawara Island, then south to the Marshall Islands, and finally arrived at Rabaul. This lap was 10,000 nautical miles. Even if the first Xinxing Maru ran at a cruise speed of 13 knots, including the time to stop and recharge, it was very tense to run this lap for more than five months.
Fortunately, the First Xingxing Maru finally arrived in Rabaul and received a handwritten letter from Imamura and the five tons of gold. If the First Xingxing Maru was not so unlucky to be sunk by an American plane, the letter might have been sent to the base camp long ago.
Yang Jing's consciousness retreated from the space, and he couldn't help but be frightened by the boldness of these senior Japanese generals.
I won’t talk about Soichi Tetsuchi. This guy has always been known for his boldness and radicalism. When he was in China, he was a typical example of "the general will not accept the orders of the outside kings". Many times, the combat plan issued by the base camp is often not truly implemented when it comes to Soichi Tetsuchi. This guy often fights according to his own ideas and intentions, but this guy can still achieve good results every time.
Although I feel very uncomfortable, I have to admit that this guy has a way of fighting in war. Fighting Taiyuan is one of the classic examples. If it weren't for being blocked by General Zhang Zizhong and other generals in Taierzhuang, the Japanese might have already realized the strategic intention of "striking the north and south".
Teraunuchi Soichi was later transferred to the position of "Commander-in-Chief of the Southern Army", but when he attacked Southeast Asia, he still had the strategic idea of "mainly self-centered".
Teraunuchi Hoichi dared to lead a group of generals stationed overseas in Japan to implement this secret plan without clear orders, which shows his strong character.
Of course, Teruchi Tochi's courage to lead these senior generals stationed overseas to carry out this plan privately is probably related to the support of someone in the base camp. It is impossible for Yamamoto Iroku to know about this plan, not to mention Teruchi Tochi had called the base camp many times to inquire about this plan.
But since the base camp has not given a clear order, it means there are differences within the base camp.
But no matter what, this secret plan was implemented secretly before the base camp's clear consent was clear, and this incident was enough to show that these senior generals of the Japanese devils were really crazy back then.
Yang Jing put his hands on the back of his head and thought involuntarily: "I wonder if the Japanese will use these assets that were secretly transported to that secret base in the end? This wealth is amazing!"
Thinking of the property listed on the more than ten lists, Yang Jing was also a little shocked.
That is one fifth of the wealth plundered by the Japanese from Southeast Asia, Bay Island, Marshall Islands, and New Guinea. Although the wealth plundered by the Marshall Islands and New Guinea is almost negligible, the wealth plundered by the Japanese in Southeast Asia back then was quite huge.
Soichi Seonuchi is not Imamura Tsuki, this guy is much crazy than Imamura Tsuki. Imamura Tsuki implements the Huairou policy in New Guinea, while Soichi Seonuchi, the executioner, implemented an unbiased ultra-high pressure policy in Southeast Asia.
The Japanese committed countless bloody crimes in Southeast Asia back then. Later, the Japanese attacked India. The reason why they were resisted by the British and Indian coalition forces was probably because the British and Indians were afraid that the Japanese would enter India and would bring bloody massacres to India, so they would be so desperate.
"Haha, most of these senior generals who participated in this plan died of misfortune before Japan surrendered. Although Soichi Tekanachi died after the war, he also died of cancer in the tenth month after Japan surrendered. I just don't know if the property that was secretly transported to that base will be preserved?"
This idea is very tempting, but in a blink of an eye, Yang Jing was amused by his nonsensical idea.
Although Soichi Shinai and the others did not transport property to that secret base many times, the search for Soichi Shinai in Southeast Asia was too cruel. The Japanese could fight on three fronts and resist the huge Pacific fleet of the US-Australia coalition. The fundamental blood transfusion point was in Southeast Asia.
Even though Soichi Seiyasu only transported property to the secret base a few times, and each time it was only one-fifth of it, the wealth was definitely huge. Not to mention anything else, Imamura only transported a batch of property to the secret base, which contained five tons of gold. The property plundered by New Guinea is not worth mentioning at all compared to Southeast Asia. It is conceivable how much property Shiiyasu once transported to that base!
However, this huge amount of money will definitely not be left behind, and Yang Jing can clearly realize this. After all, even the senior generals who performed this mission died before and after Japan surrendered, after all, there were people like Soichi Desouchi who lived until 1946, and as for Imamura Tsubaki, they lived until 1968 before they died.
These people all know the secret mission and the location of the secret base. No one dares to say it. I am afraid that after Imamura is released from prison after serving ten years of sentence, the Japanese government will be able to use the property.
Although I knew very well that the huge wealth had a great possibility that it had been activated by Japan, Yang Jing still had a little thought.
After turning on the laptop, Yang Jing opened Google Map, expanded the Maug Islands in the Northern Mariana Islands and observed it, while searching for the situation about this volcanic island.
The Maug Islands are the second northern island in the Northern Mariana Islands, only a little southerly than the Depajaros Rock, the northernmost tip of the Northern Mariana Islands.
This archipelago is actually formed by the crater of an undersea volcano exposed to the sea level. It is composed of three larger islands with a smaller area and a small island. Between these three large islands, the original crater is but submerged by sea water, forming a lagoon of more than 200 meters deep.
This is definitely an island hanging outside the sea. Even the archipelago is located at Saipan, which has a permanent population, and the straight-line distance is more than 530 kilometers.
Such an inconspicuous small island is definitely an excellent choice for building a secret base. No wonder Takijiro Oshiki would build a secret base here back then.
However, some of the news I saw on the Internet made Yang Jing feel a little amused, because there are actually many websites on the Internet that say that this archipelago is the overseas base of the Chinese Navy, and even the Du Niang said so.
Yang Jing was so happy to see such news.
With the rise of China in recent years, China's military strength has also been growing. In the past, Americans blocked the first island chain of China, it has become a decoration. China's local missiles can easily destroy the blockade of the first island chain. Therefore, in recent years, Americans have gradually abandoned the blockade of the first island chain and instead focused on the second island chain.
As an island in the Northern Mariana Islands, the core area of the second island chain, it is itself an overseas territory of the United States. How could Americans allow the Maug Islands to become the overseas base of the Chinese Navy? The second island chain is now the bottom line for Americans.
Not to mention anything else, in October last year, a scientific research ship in China conducted a hydrological survey in the Caroline Islands near the Guam base in the United States. At that time, the US Navy dispatched the P-3 "Orion" maritime patrol reconnaissance aircraft to harass the scientific research ship.
In this case, how could Americans allow their overseas territory to become the overseas base of the Chinese Navy? People with a little brain may know that it is absolutely impossible.
