There is indeed not a rock below, but a rusty iron plate.

Chris and the others tried their best and quickly cleared out the pit more than one meter deep. They also found out the thickness of the big stone. The huge stone was actually one and a half meters thick!

In other words, the weight of this boulder is definitely more than thirteen tons! It is twice as heavy as Chris's estimated weight!

The stone pressed on an iron plate. If it weren't for the huge rock wide at the top and narrow at the bottom, the edge of the iron plate that was pressed would not have been exposed.

Clark used an engineer shovel to knock on the iron plate, and then said in surprise: "There is empty below!"

In fact, even if it is not knocked, a few people can understand what it means to suddenly appear in this primitive jungle where people are rarely seen.

No one will be idle and feel pain in pressing such a large stone on an iron plate. In other words, there must be a hole dug under this iron plate, and the large mound next to the huge rock is probably the soil dug out when digging this underground cave.

But the question is, who is really idle and digging such a big cave in such a ghost place where birds do not poop and chickens do not lay eggs? Judging from the large mound of soil, the space under this iron plate is obviously not small, otherwise it would be impossible to dig out so much soil.

And the most important thing is that, whether from the trees on the mound or the degree of rust of this iron plate, it has been at least more than half a century. Who would have dug such a cave here half a century ago? And the entrance of the cave is pressed with iron plates and huge rocks?

Let’s think about the coordinates recorded in Alfred’s notebook. Although the location of this cave is a bit different from the location marked in the notebook, Alfred wrote those things in the 1940s. In that era, it was already very accurate to be able to accurately coordinate the error to about 200 meters.

Alfred died in the fall of 1946. He was able to leave the location and coordinates of the cave in his notebook, which means that the construction date of this cave must be earlier than 1946!

Given the laziness of the Filipinos, this project is definitely not done by the Filipinos, and of course, it is not possible by the colonists and Americans. Then the only person who is likely to dig such a large cave in such a place is already coming out.

"The cave below is very likely dug out by the Japanese who invaded Southeast Asia that year!" Yang Jing said softly but very firmly.

"Did the Japanese dig? Japanese during World War II?" Clark asked in surprise.

"Well, there is a great possibility that the Japanese dug it during World War II." Yang Jing nodded heavily, "In the late World War II, the United States obtained absolute sea control in the Pacific War, and later it threw two atomic bombs directly at the Japanese mainland, directly bombing the Japanese emperor, so Japan had to surrender unconditionally. However, the surrender came too suddenly, which made the wealth plundered by the Japanese devils in Southeast Asia unable to safely transport it to Japan's mainland. So the Japanese hurriedly buried the plundered wealth in various hidden places in the Philippines, preparing to wait for it to come out in the future."

Chris also nodded and said, "I have heard of this. At that time, the federal army not only obtained absolute control of the sea, but also launched a counterattack against the Philippines. With the help of the powerful navy and air force, the federal army defeated the Japanese in the Philippines step by step. At that time, most of the wealth that the Japanese plundered from Southeast Asia was piled up in the Philippines, waiting to be pulled to Japan with ships. However, the loss of control of the sea was

And the successive victory of the Federal Army in the Philippines forced the Japanese to hide the plundered wealth in the Philippines. In the Philippines alone, it is said that there are 175 hiding places. However, boss, most of these hiding places have been discovered, and even the Federation also transported back hundreds of billions of dollars of gold and jewelry from the Philippines. Could this place be a hiding place missed by the federal government that year?”

Yang Jing nodded and said, "It is very likely. During World War II, Japan's iron hooves quickly traveled across the entire East Asia region. During the invasion and expansion, the Japanese ****ists specially established a secret agency to plunder the property of the Asian people - the "Yama Yuri" Society. Emperor Hirohito appointed a member of the royal family, Prince Taketa Miyagi, as the head of the organization in Asia. They transported a large amount of property, gold, etc. from China back to Japan."

"And as Chris said just now, most of the wealth that Japan plundered during World War II was piled up in the Philippines, but as Japan lost its control over the sea and retreated steadily on the battlefield of the Philippines, in order to protect the security of plundering wealth, the emperor ordered the "Yama Lily" to quickly register the treasures and buried them in the "Royal Treasure Point" in 175 of the Philippines."

"On September 2, 1945, after Japan surrendered in the Philippines, the US officials who were in the trial had learned from the CIA that Japan had buried treasures in the Philippines, so they tried every means to obtain the secrets during the trial. After finding more 'royal treasure points' one after another, the US intelligence agencies sent people to secretly poach gold nuggets, diamonds and platinum worth billions of dollars."

Hearing Yang Jing's words, Clark couldn't help but swallow and said, "How much wealth did these damn Japanese steal?"

Yang Jing shrugged and said, "How much wealth did the Japanese rob in Southeast Asia in the first place? It is probably difficult for outsiders to know except for the head of the Japanese. However, according to calculations, Japan robbed hundreds of billions of dollars of wealth in Southeast Asia during World War II. As far as I know, the largest amount of gold obtained by the United States after the war was in Saint Romana, the Philippines. When the Japanese army retreated in the Philippines, the Philippine guerrillas discovered that they transported large numbers of heavy boxes to a cave and then blocked the export with explosives. A major from the US Strategic Intelligence Agency was with the guerrillas at the time and remembered the treasure location. The agent reopened the cave after the war and found that the boxes were full of gold."

"From 1945 to 1948, this batch of gold worth about tens of billions of dollars was shipped to the United States. Instead of returning it to victims of Southeast Asian countries, the United States deposited the gold into 176 banks in 42 countries. Among them, the Geneva Branch of the United Bank of Switzerland opened a gold account with tens of billions of dollars in the name of "Lancedale"!"

"Hiss..." A neatly sucked in a cold air, and it was obvious that tens of billions of dollars of gold scared these bodyguards.

This is the tens of billions of dollars in the 1940s. If it were now, it would be tens of billions of dollars!

Then, the eyes of these guys fell on this huge rock and this iron plate.

Chris swallowed dryly and asked, "Boss, do you think there is any gold that Japanese hidden in that year?"

Yang Jing shook his head and said, "I don't know this. We need to dig up here thoroughly before we can know if there is gold inside!"
