Gold exudes dazzling light.
It seems to be full of magic, making everyone who sees it unable to look away for a second.
Meng Shaoyuan is also a well-informed person, but this is the first time he has seen so much gold gathered together.
And more importantly, this is only a small part of the huge gold wealth.
It is entirely conceivable how much wealth Japan has plundered in Southeast Asia.
It is also easier to understand why the United States clung to the Philippines after the war.
Hundreds of billions of dollars, let alone now, even decades later, will still be a stifling huge wealth.
"One ton of gold and five hundred kilograms of silver are stored here."
Fuzhong Jingze, however, has long been accustomed to facing so much gold and silver: "This is one of the smaller warehouses. There are many similar warehouses in Manila. Mr. Taniguchi, you have to check these warehouses one by one these days. Thanks for your hard work."
"This is my job."
Meng Shaoyuan also returned to normal: "I want senior to stay with me all the time. Thank you for your hard work, senior."
It was already dark after he finished counting the gold and silver with Fuzhong Jingze in a decent manner.
When I went out, I found that two Japanese soldiers were guarding the place: "Senior Fuzhong, the gold is stored like this and only protected by two soldiers. Aren't you afraid of attacks by those guerrillas?"
"Don't worry, Taniguchi-kun." Fukuzaka Jingze was not worried at all: "There is a military camp next to it. As long as something happens, reinforcements can be sent at any time. Besides, no one knows that there is gold hidden here except you and me.
Of course, the risk factor still exists. But there is no way, the Philippines is only so big, where else can we hide them? "
】
With that said, he got into the car with Meng Shaoyuan, and after driving he said: "We are studying a tunnel plan. Until a safe way to transport gold to the Japanese mainland is found, the tunnel is obviously the safest.
We will dig a large number of tunnels, move all the treasures there, pile up explosives, and detonate them immediately if an accident occurs. "
"So, how many people know the specific location of the tunnel?" Meng Shaoyuan asked the question he was most concerned about.
"Except His Majesty the Emperor, no one can know where all the tunnels are." Fukuzaka Keizawa said: "For example, if I am responsible for the gold in Manila, then I will directly report to Prince Tsunede about the gold tunnels in Manila.
Prince Hengde will then present these reports directly to His Majesty, and he will never read them himself. The people in charge of the Yama Lily Society in the Philippines will never meet each other. "
This Prince Hengde is a smart man.
He knew that gold was a source of wealth but also a source of disaster.
He is responsible for the entire gold hiding plan, but he will never touch it.
Moreover, after the war, he quickly left the royal family and devoted himself to sports.
He even later became a member of the International Olympic Committee.
However, Meng Shaoyuan has been wondering whether Prince Hengde did this on purpose?
Maybe he doesn't really know where the gold is hidden, but he just wants others to think he doesn't know?
Forget it, it's none of your business.
My goal is this gold.
Originally, Meng Shaoyuan's plan was for seven tons of gold.
But obviously, his goal was set too low.
What's the old saying?
Without on-the-spot investigation, you have no right to speak. This is a wise saying!
There is obviously so much gold stored in the Philippines, but I am so short-sighted that I only focus on the seven tons of gold that I know is hidden somewhere.
So short-sighted, where should I put my face?
It must be changed, it must be changed!
Just when Master Meng was thinking about it, Fuzhong Jingze said: "It's dark, Manila will soon start a curfew, and there are only some unpalatable foods where you live, and that's not what you can eat.
I think this is it, let your men go back first, I invite you to my home as a guest, my wife's craftsmanship is very good, you must taste it. "
"I'm really sorry to bother you with nothing now." Meng Shaoyuan only had gold in his mind, and he wasn't interested at all in matters of eating or not.
But Fuzhong Jingze insisted: "Taniguchi-kun, you saved me twice, please let me repay you in a small way."
"Ah, excuse me for disturbing you." Meng Shaoyuan was a little helpless.
You bitch, I can't help you.
Don't tell me, you can drink, maybe you can dig something useful out of your mouth.
What's more, you have a beautiful daughter-in-law at home.
No, no.
Meng Shaoyuan immediately warned himself in his heart.
It's important, and you can't let a woman ruin your plans.
If he attacks his wife, he is afraid that Fu Zhong Jingze will fall out with him on the spot, and then everything will be lost.
Master Meng still has this awareness.
…
Fuzhong Jingze's residence in Manila is a very spacious courtyard.
In the past, this was the residence of a wealthy Chinese businessman in Manila. After the Japanese army occupied Manila, it became a residence for leftists.
Later, Dazuo was transferred and Fuzhong Jingze was assigned here.
At the same time, it was also used as the headquarters of the Manila Gold Project.
Once inside, two local Filipinos were busy cleaning up the ingredients.
Meng Shaoyuan actually smelled the aroma of chicken soup.
This is strange.
As a Japanese, Fuzhong Jingze treated a Japanese to a meal. Could it be Chinese food?
Meng Shaoyuan really guessed it.
Fuzhong Jingze has always had a strong interest in Chinese food.
The reason why he married his wife Mikoko was that Mikoko had watched the Chinese chefs at home cook since she was a child, and as a result, she gradually became able to cook authentic Chinese dishes.
After arriving in Manila and taking charge of the gold project, it was normal for him to take advantage of the situation to make some money.
My pockets are bulging, and my gourmet heart is beginning to feel restless.
He sent servants around to buy ingredients, and then handed them over to his wife Mikoko to cook.
Especially chicken soup.
The Japanese army loved to eat chicken, but Fuzhong Jingze was obsessed with chicken soup and could not live without chicken soup for a day.
He eats chicken, only live meat such as chicken legs and wings.
"Mixiko, Mixiko."
As soon as he entered the door, Fu Zhong Jingze shouted.
"you are back."
Mikoko, who was busy in the kitchen, came out. When she saw Shibuya Taniguchi, whom she had met during the day, she was startled and bowed hurriedly:
"Taniguchi-kun, you are here too."
"I specially invited Mr. Taniguchi to come to my house as a guest." Jingze Fukuzaka said enthusiastically: "Hurry, prepare some more dishes, and I will have a good drink with Mr. Taniguchi."
"Hai."
"Taniguchi-kun, let's go."
Fuzhong Jingze said with a smile: "Let's drink tea first and eat later."
Seeing the back of Mixuko entering the kitchen, Master Meng felt very regretful.
She is beautiful and can cook, so why did she end up with someone like Fuzhong Jingze? What a pity!
