Terauchi Juichi is not Imamura Hitoshi. This guy is much crazier than Imamura Hitoshi. Imamura Hitoshi implemented a conciliatory policy in New Guinea, while Terauchi Juichi, the executioner, implemented an uncompromisingly high-pressure policy in Southeast Asia.
The Japanese invaders committed countless bloody incidents in Southeast Asia back then. Later, when the Japanese invaded India, they were met with desperate resistance from the British-Indian Allied Forces. This was probably because the British and Indians were afraid that the Japanese invaders would invade India and bring about a bloody massacre.
"Haha, most of the senior generals who participated in this plan died before Japan surrendered. Although Terauchi Juichi died after the war, he died of cancer ten months after Japan surrendered. I just wonder if these treasures that were secretly transported to that base will be preserved?"
This idea was very tempting, but in a blink of an eye Yang Jing was amused by his own nonsensical idea.
Although Terauchi Juichi and his men did not transport property to that secret base many times, Terauchi Juichi's plunder in Southeast Asia was really ruthless. The Japanese were able to fight on three fronts and resist the huge Pacific Fleet of the US-Australia coalition forces. The fundamental source of blood transfusion was in Southeast Asia.
Even if Terauchi Juichi only transported a few treasures to the secret base, and the amount transported each time was only one-fifth of the total, this amount of wealth is definitely huge. For example, Imamura Jun only transported a batch of treasures to the secret base, and there were five tons of gold. The treasures looted in New Guinea are not worth mentioning compared to Southeast Asia. You can imagine how much treasure Terauchi Juichi had transported to that base!
However, Yang Jing was able to clearly understand that this huge amount of wealth would not be left behind. After all, even though most of the senior generals who carried out this mission died before or after Japan surrendered, there were still people like Terauchi Juichi who lived until 1946, and Imamura Hitoshi who lived until 1968.
These people all know about the secret mission, and they also know the location of the secret base. Others would not dare to do it, but I'm afraid that after Imamura Hitoshi is released from prison after serving his ten-year sentence, he will be able to get the Japanese government to put that money to use.
Although he knew very well that the huge fortune had most likely been used by the Japanese long ago, Yang Jing still had some thoughts in his mind.
Turning on his laptop, Yang Jing opened Google Maps, enlarged the Mauge Islands in the Northern Mariana Islands and began to observe them, while also searching for information about this volcanic island.
The Maugues Islands are the second northernmost of the Northern Mariana Islands, just slightly south of Pajaros Rocks, the northernmost of the Northern Mariana Islands.
This archipelago is actually formed by the crater of an underwater volcano protruding above the sea level. It is composed of three slightly larger islands and a very large island. Between these three large islands is the original crater, but it has been submerged by sea water, forming a lagoon more than 200 meters deep.
This is definitely an isolated island overseas. Even the closest island with a permanent population, Saipan, is more than 530 kilometers away in a straight line.
This inconspicuous island is definitely a great choice for building a secret base. No wonder Onishi Takijiro built a secret base here.
However, some of the news he saw on the Internet made Yang Jing laugh and cry, because there were many websites on the Internet saying that this archipelago was an overseas base of the Chinese Navy, and even Baidu said so.
Yang Jing was really happy to see such news.
With the rise of China in recent years, China's military strength is also growing. The first island chain that the Americans used to blockade China has become a decoration. China's local missiles can easily destroy the blockade of the first island chain. Therefore, in recent years, the Americans have begun to gradually abandon the blockade of the first island chain and focus on the second neighboring island chain.
The Mauguet Islands, as an island in the Northern Mariana Islands in the core area of the second island chain, is also an overseas territory of the United States. How could the Americans allow the Mauguet Islands to become an overseas base for the Chinese Navy? The second island chain is now the bottom line of the United States.
For example, last October, a Chinese research vessel conducted a hydrological survey in the Caroline Islands near the U.S. base in Guam. At that time, the U.S. Navy dispatched a P-3 "Orion" maritime patrol reconnaissance aircraft to harass the research vessel.
In this case, how could the Americans allow their overseas territories to become overseas bases for the Chinese Navy? Anyone with a little bit of common sense probably knows that it is absolutely impossible.
But those were national affairs, and Yang Jing had no intention of caring about them. The thought that had just appeared in his mind, "Should I go over and take a look?", was becoming stronger and stronger...
