Yang Jing knew from historical data that the Americans' offensive plan at that time was to attack Saipan on June 15 and land on Guam on June 18. However, the unexpected large number of defenders on Saipan put up a very tenacious resistance, and the large-scale attack by Japanese aircraft carriers delayed the invasion of Guam by one month.

Under such circumstances, the supplies stored in the base in the Maug Islands could not be shipped out. By this time in the Pacific War, the Japanese had completely lost air superiority, and they could only rely on the strong fortifications on the islands to resist the American offensive.

However, the Japanese top brass were obviously very confident about the concealment of this base. After all, it was underwater and the Mauer Islands were not a strategic location, so it was almost impossible for the Americans to discover it. They dared to boldly evacuate the Japanese troops on duty and only left the supplies and property here.

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

"But now it is almost certain that the treasures secretly stored in this base were most likely stored privately by Hirohito. After all, this base is so hidden that it is really suitable for storing some secret wealth that is not known to the outside world. Now it seems that the Japanese military headquarters did not agree with Yamamoto Isoroku's wealth diversion plan at that time, and it was probably for ulterior motives, because once the headquarters issued a clear order, then the matter would be clear. The reason why they did not issue a clear order, but at the same time allowed Onishi Takijiro to build this base here, was definitely because they did not want this matter to be made public, at least it would not be spread among the high-level Japanese military officials, so as to achieve the purpose of 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 Japan's defeat, and he began to seek a way out for himself at that time!"

"Well, that must be the case. So many high-ranking officials in Japan were executed after the war, but Hirohito, the biggest culprit, was the only one who got away with nothing. Among the three heads of the Axis powers, Hitler committed suicide with his mistress, Mussolini was arrested and executed, but Hirohito was the only one who got away with nothing! And MacArthur, that idiot, actually dared to take such a big risk and openly protect Hirohito. Maybe the United States wanted to continue to support Hirohito as a puppet after the war to control Japan, but there are also many people who think that MacArthur privately accepted an unknown amount of huge wealth from Hirohito, which made MacArthur openly protect Hirohito."

Yang Jing shook his head again. After the end of World War II, many allies demanded the execution of Emperor Hirohito, but Japan disagreed. The condition for their surrender was to retain Emperor Hirohito's position. The countries led by the United States agreed. And as a five-star general at the time, MacArthur tried his best to protect Hirohito. He said: First, I will not let him die; second, I will not let Hirohito abdicate.

If there was no trick involved in such blatant protection, Yang Jing would dare to dig out his own eyes.

Although MacArthur made great contributions to the United States and World War II, his character is not as noble as people imagine. This American five-star general is actually a very selfish person. Yang Jing learned this after reading a lot of information.

Moreover, after Japan was defeated, it only paid 1.5 billion US dollars in compensation, and it was paid in installments. What can this amount of compensation do? Forget about China, Southeast Asian countries, and the Korean Peninsula. This amount of money is not even enough for the Americans to pay for the oil in the Pacific War!

But why did MacArthur still protect Hirohito so much?

There is no smoke without fire!

Given MacArthur's greed and selfishness, if Hirohito gave less money privately, it would be impossible to impress this powerful five-star general. Only if the money Hirohito gave made MacArthur feel frightened, would this guy spare no effort to protect Hirohito!

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

And Japan was able to rise again within seven years after the war. If it didn't have enough capital, how could Japan rise so quickly? Where did these capitals come from?

Obviously, most of the huge wealth that Japan had plundered from various Asian countries over the years was hidden away, but a part of it was definitely secretly given to senior American officials headed by MacArthur, which saved Hirohito's life.

The enormous wealth stored in this base is probably the bond between Hirohito and the Americans!
