Jiro Onoda's first diary recorded some daily things, but as time went by, he recorded fewer and fewer things. However, every time a submarine entered the base, he recorded everything that he never left.

Yang Jing finally counted, starting from the arrival of the base on May 2, 1943, and then receiving the first batch of supplies on May 8, 1943 until the withdrawal of the base on the evening of June 7, 1944. During this period, the base received a total of 67 submarines transported by Japanese troops into the base.

You should know that the worst submarines used by the Japanese army to transport property are the main submarines with water displacement of more than or close to 1,500 tons. Among them, the most transported is the Yi-2 (I-2) submarine that entered here for the first time.

The number of times this Japanese Navy's main submarine entered this base was as high as thirty-eight times!

Only the main submarines of the Japanese Navy can have a wealth of transportation capacity of more than 100 tons.

In other words, the Japanese used their main submarines to transport these property, and the weight of the property transported in each time was at least more than 100 tons.

Combined with the records in Jiro Onoda's diary, almost every time a submarine comes here, it transports some small and heavy goods, most of which are mainly precious metals.

In other words, the precious metals received by this base are at least 6,700 tons!

Although this number is almost insignificant compared to the entire base's twenty-four warehouses, if the precious metals transported in are all gold, platinum, various gold, silver jewelry and silver dollars, then the 6,700 tons of precious metals will definitely be priceless.

Even if there are only one thousand tons of gold, it is still a sky-high wealth worth 40 billion US dollars.

But it is obvious that Japan would definitely not allow such a hidden base to store some precious metals of low value, so in this base, the most stored thing that was probably gold!

In fact, this can also be seen from the account that the four warehouses managed by the warehouse manager alone contain more than 400 tons of gold bricks, gold foil and gold jewelry!

"June 6, 1944, yin. In the evening of this evening, Nakamura Jun specially asked us to come out and let the air again, because Nakamura Jun said that we will evacuate here tomorrow night and return to the local area. Tonight is our last night on this island.

I know that the situation in the Pacific is imminent for the empire. Even if I don’t know the specific situation outside, the number of American reconnaissance aircraft and fighter aircraft that have passed over the islands every day in the past two months is enough to show that the situation outside is very urgent. It seems that the Americans have approached Guam or Saipan.

When I was venturing in the evening, Nakamura Jun told me that the American fleet had broken through the Marshall Islands a few months ago and now it has surrounded Guam and Saipan. The decisive battle between Guam and Saipan is likely to start in the past few days. Nakamura Jun 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 tomorrow night in a naval ship. As for the supplies in the base, they will be temporarily stored here. Anyway, the place is hidden enough, and the Americans will not discover this base.

After all, it has been more than thirteen months since I came here on May 2 last year. Although it is really boring, it is safe at least. Unlike colleagues stationed in the Marshall Islands and New Guinea, they face the danger of being broken every day.

Today is the last day I stayed here after I came here, and I also wrote my last diary here tonight. I hope I can arrive at the local area safely, and I hope the Empire can defeat the damn Americans!"

Yang Jing moved his eyes away from this diary, which is the last of the two diaries left by Jiro Onoda.

Obviously, if nothing unexpected happens, the Japanese army that had been stationed in this secret base for more than a year would leave the base the next day. However, the materials stored here would not leave with them.

It is inevitable to think about it. The Japanese probably never thought that Americans would come so quickly and so fiercely, so the Japanese could not have transported all the huge amount of money stored in this base at that time.

The Americans' offensive speed was obviously beyond the expectations of the Japanese. At the end of 1943, the Americans began to attack Guam and the last strategic defense line before Saipan. As a result, the Americans completely defeated the Marshall Islands in less than two months with their superior aviation power.

The defeat of the Marshall Islands battle hit the Japanese army hard. Before the Japanese even got rid of the shadow of losing the Marshall Islands, the Americans were surrounded by the Marshall Islands' victory and arrived in Guam and Saipan in just four months.

In the American offensive plan, Guam, Saipan, the Sulphur Islands and Ogasawara Islands were the second island chain. As the Japanese lost the Marshall Islands, the first island chain used by Japan to resist the US Navy, namely the Gilbert Islands, Marshall Islands, and Wake Islands, were all lost. Japan's so-called "second island chain" faces attacks from the Americans.

Americans are very quick to fight. Less than four months after the Marshall Islands were solved, they came to Guam and Saipan, which caught the Japanese off guard.

Although the Japanese promptly reinforced a large amount of military forces to Saipan and Guam, the entire second island chain was actually under the attack and surveillance of the US Navy aviation.

Yang Jing knew from historical data that the attack plan formulated by the Americans at that time was to attack Saipan on June 15 and land on Guam on June 18. However, a large number of defenders who were underestimated in Saipan carried out very tenacious resistance and the large-scale attack of Japanese aircraft carriers delayed the invasion of Guam by a month.

Under such circumstances, the materials stored in this base of the Maug Islands naturally could not be transported out. By this time the entire Pacific Battle was fought, the Japanese had completely lost their air superiority, and they could only rely on the solid fortifications on the island to resist the American attack.

However, the senior management of Little Japan is obviously very at ease with the concealment of this base. After all, it is underwater, and the Maoge Islands are not a strategic location, so it is almost impossible for Americans to discover it. Only then do they dare to evacuate the Japanese on duty here with confidence and boldness, leaving only the materials and property here alone.

Yang Jing put down the diary in his hand, shook his head slightly and thought: "I just don't know when the Japanese sold the property stored in this base..."

"But now it's almost certain that this batch of treasures stored secretly in this base were stored privately by Hirohito. After all, this base is so hidden, it is really suitable to store some secret wealth that is not known to outsiders. Now it seems that the Japanese base camp at that time did not agree with Yamamoto Iroku's wealth diversion plan, which was probably because once the base camp issued a clear order, the matter would be clear. The reason why he did not issue a clear order, but allowed Takijiro Oshiki to build this base here must be that he did not want this matter to be made public. At least it would not be spread among the top leaders of the Japanese military to achieve the purpose of keeping it confidentiality. And the only one who can do this is Hirohito. After all, that guy is the Emperor of Japan!"

"Perhaps Hirohito had already anticipated the defeat of Japan, and he began to seek a way out for himself at that time!"

"Well, it must be so. After the war, so many senior officials in Japan were executed, but only Hirohito, the biggest culprit, did nothing. Among the heads of the three Axis powers, Sittler committed suicide with love and wife, Mussolini was arrested and executed, but Hirohito was nothing! Moreover, that bastard MacArthur dared to take the blame for the world and openly protect Hirohito. Perhaps there was the ulterior motive of the United States that wanted to continue to support Hirohito as a puppet after the war so as to achieve control of Japan, but many people said that MacArthur privately accepted the huge amount of wealth sent by Hirohito in unknown amounts, which made MacArthur openly protect Hirohito."

Yang Jing shook his head again. After World War II, many allies demanded the execution of Hirohito, but Japan did not agree. The condition for their surrender was to retain the position of Emperor Hirohito, and the country led by the United States agreed. Moreover, as a five-star general, MacArthur, tried his best to protect Hirohito, and he said: First, I will not let him die; second, I will not let Hirohito abdicate.

With such a blatant protection, if there is nothing wrong with it, Yang Jing would dare to cut off his eyes.

Although MacArthur made great contributions to the United States and World War II, this guy's character is not as noble as people imagined. This five-star American general is actually a very selfish person. Yang Jing has read a lot of information to know about this.

Moreover, after Japan was defeated, it only compensated 1.5 billion US dollars, and the one who paid his sister in installments was paid. What is this compensation enough? Not to mention China, Southeast Asian countries, and the Korean Peninsula, this amount of money is not enough for the Americans to fight the Pacific War!

But why does MacArthur still protect Hirohito so much?

If there is no groundless wind, there must be a sound (cause)!

With MacArthur's greed and selfishness, if Hirohito gave less money in private, it would never be possible to impress this powerful five-star general. Only when the money given by Hirohito made MacArthur frightened, this guy would spare no effort to protect Hirohito!

After the end of World War II, the huge gold reserves of Asian countries only accounted for 5% of the global gold reserves. Is this possible? Where did such a large gold reserves go?

But Japan was able to rise strongly again within seven years after the war. If there was no sufficient capital, how could Japan rise so quickly? Then where did this capital come from?

It is obvious that most of the huge wealth that Japan plundered in Asian countries back then was hidden, but part of it was given to the senior American executives headed by MacArthur, which saved Hirohito's life.
