That is, Hirohito secretly took over this base during World War II. The wealth diversion plan proposed by Yamamoto Isoroku was openly used by Hirohito as a cover, and then no less than 7,000 tons of precious metals were stored in this base.
With so many precious metals hidden under the waters of the Maugue Islands, which was then under the trusteeship of the United States, the Japanese probably did not have the ability to transport these treasures out under the noses of the United States.
The most crucial thing is that post-war Japan was extremely poor. The entire Tokyo was almost razed to the ground by the US air force. If Hirohito suddenly took out a large amount of wealth to enjoy at that time, do you really think that Americans would not be jealous?
Don’t think that Hirohito, in order to find a way out for himself, dared to take out a large amount of wealth to bribe a group of American high-level officials headed by MacArthur, and the Americans were not jealous. Why? Because the wealth that the godson took out was to be handed over to our American father, how could we be jealous?
But if Hirohito continued to spend large amounts of money on his own enjoyment after saving his life, that would not be acceptable.
Your American father didn't even ask for compensation from you after the war, so what? You still dare to take advantage of him? Besides, do you really think that Americans don't care about Japan's wealth? With the aggressiveness of the Americans, how could they not care about the wealth that Japan has robbed from various Asian countries?
There are many data showing that during World War II, as the core area of the third island chain, the Philippines became the base camp of the Japanese in Southeast Asia. Many of the looted treasures by Terauchi Juichi were piled up in the Philippines waiting to be shipped back to Japan. However, at the end of World War II, the patrols of the US military, which had an absolute advantage in the Western Pacific, made it impossible to transport a large number of gold and other valuables back to Japan by sea. In order to protect the safety of the looted wealth, Hirohito ordered "Yamayuri" to quickly register the treasures and bury them in 175 "royal treasure points" throughout the Philippines.
After Japan surrendered in the Philippines on September 2, 1945, the American officials in charge of the trial had learned from the CIA that Japan had buried treasure in the Philippines, so they tried every means to obtain the secrets during the trial.
After finding more "royal treasure sites" one after another, the US intelligence agencies sent people to secretly dig up gold bars, diamonds and platinum worth billions of dollars.
The largest amount of gold that the United States obtained after the war was in Santa Romana, Philippines. When the Japanese army was losing ground in the Philippines, the Philippine guerrillas found that they had put a large number of heavy boxes into a cave and then sealed the exit with explosives. A major from the US Strategic Intelligence Agency was with the guerrillas at the time and remembered the location of the treasure. The agent reopened the cave after the war and found that the boxes were full of gold.
Between 1945 and 1948, this batch of gold worth tens of billions of dollars was taken away from the United States. Instead of returning it to the victims in Southeast Asian countries, the United States deposited the gold in 176 banks in 42 countries. Among them, the Geneva branch of the Swiss Union Bank opened a gold account with tens of billions of dollars in the name of "Lansdale"!
This is enough to prove that the United States is greedy.
If Hirohito dared to take out a large amount of wealth for himself to squander after the war, his American father would never sit idly by and watch the wealth being squandered by Hirohito.
Therefore, even if Hirohito wanted to use the wealth in this base, he had to find a suitable time.
For example, Japan's economy recovered in just seven years after the war. At that time, Hirohito did not dare to use the secret wealth in this base, but when Japan's economy recovered, he could spend money lavishly.
The most crucial thing is that Douglas MacArthur, the "new emperor" of post-war Japan, was dismissed and returned home on April 16, 1951. Without MacArthur, the "new emperor" who had always been weighing on his head, wouldn't Hirohito have been able to enjoy himself?
Therefore, it is very likely that Hirohito sent secret troops to reopen the base and transport some of the wealth out of it after MacArthur left Japan.
This seven-star cigarette box was most likely left behind by the secret troops who were transporting valuables at the time.
Moreover, in view of the astonishing amount of wealth stored in this base and the fact that the Americans were eyeing it covetously, the Japanese did not dare to expose this base. Therefore, it was impossible for the Japanese to transport all the wealth in the base out in one go.
That’s why the following cigarette boxes came into being.
Moreover, this action of secretly transporting wealth abroad even continued until 1988, the year before Hirohito's death!
In the late 1980s, Japan was quite powerful. In a few years, the Japanese even threatened to buy all the real estate of their American father. At this time, Hirohito probably had a premonition that he was about to die, so he shipped all his wealth out.
"That is, this base has not been opened for at least half a century as I guessed. Instead, the Japanese have been transporting wealth out of this base intermittently for nearly forty years from the early 1950s to the late 1980s. In particular, according to the production time of the last three cigarette boxes, the Japanese have opened this base at least three times in the ten years from 1979 to 1988!"
"That means I don't seem to be without a chance!" Yang Jing was secretly happy in his heart...
