Fukuda Kiyoshige, who was originally just a middle school chemistry teacher, had already married a wife and had children. If it were not for escaping from military service, he would never have joined the Yamayuri Club. Later, he was sent to the Philippines to stay. In order to support his family, Fukuda Kiyoshige, who was originally cowardly by nature, had to become fierce, because only in this way could he command the local workers captured by the military police to quietly dig treasure tunnels at designated locations.

Therefore, when he learned that the base camp intended to abandon all Japanese troops and expats in the Philippines, Fukuda Kiyoshige began to plan how to escape from Manila. In his simplest period, Fukuda Kiyoshige even thought about using the secrets he had mastered to surrender to the U.S. military through local guerrillas in exchange for the chance to return to Japan alive. Unfortunately, he was not familiar with the local guerrillas and could not contact them at all.

With no hope of surrendering to the US military, he began to think of ways to obtain all information related to the current situation from the military. Finally, with great difficulty, Fukuda Kiyoshige finally found out, after consultations between the Japanese government and the US military in the Pacific. The US military, which has blocked the Philippine waters, finally agreed that a transport ship named Awa Maru could take away the wounded and ordinary expatriates from Manila for the last time. It can be said that this transport ship named Awa Maru is the last chance to leave Manila alive.

In order to get a pass to board the Awa Maru, Fukuda Kiyoshige could be said to have resorted to all possible means. He used his knowledge of chemistry and chemical agents to successfully transfer a batch of gold from a secret warehouse he controlled. Then, he gave this batch of gold to several leaders of the local Japanese army in Manila. By the time the news about the Awa Maru came out, the seemingly inconspicuous Fukuda Kiyoshige had already obtained a pass to board the ship.

Fukuda Kiyoshige was very lucky. The Awa Maru transport ship was indeed the last ship to leave Manila. A few days after this transport ship full of Japanese docked in Japan, the U.S. military commanded by MacArthur launched a landing campaign in the Philippines. In Manila, none of the Japanese military leaders who had accepted Fukuda Kiyoshige's gold bribes were killed in the U.S. attack. Kiyoshi Fukuda, who returned to Japan, was not idle either. Pretending to be a second lieutenant officer of the Japanese army in Manila, he began to quietly investigate information about other members of the Yamayuri Society.

After several months of investigation, Fukuda Kiyoshige was surprised to find that he seemed to be the only member of the Yamayuri Club who was originally stationed in the Philippines to return to Japan alive. Among those members of the Yamayuri Club who have lost contact, Fukuda Kiyoshige firmly believes that there are still people who have survived, but those who have survived may have become prisoners of the US military. After half a year of living an ordinary life without danger, Fukuda Kiyoshige began to lose his vigilance, so after a black market transaction, he became a prisoner of Mickey and the others.

The location that Kiyoshi Fukuda provided to Mickey and the others was indeed not fake. Before Kiyoshi Fukuda left Manila, he did bury the things he was responsible for in this mountain forest. It's just a pity that this place has been dug up and the things buried in the tunnel have disappeared. Through system skills, Tang Cheng was able to confirm at this moment that Fukuda Kiyoshige was telling the truth, but he had no intention of letting Fukuda Kiyoshige go. Because this guy has been to China before and participated in plundering gold from China.

If this Japanese named Fukuda Kiyoshige had been stationed in the Philippines from the beginning, Tangcheng might have thought of letting the other side go. It's a pity that this guy not only went to China, but also participated in the operation to snatch gold from China. In one operation, he even shot and killed many Chinese workers. Tangcheng would feel that letting go of any Japanese with Chinese blood on their hands was disrespectful to the Chinese.

However, Tang Cheng still has a question in his mind. According to Fukuda Kiyoshige, in order to hide these treasures and to prevent the news from leaking out, all members of the Yamayuri Club are not allowed to contact each other. Moreover, according to the instructions from the top of the Yamayuri Association, all members of the Yamayuri Association who are stationed in the Philippines are only responsible for one area, and they do not have direct contact with the military. Since Yamayuri Club arranged it this way, how could Yamashita Fengfumi be related to these treasures?

Regarding Tang Cheng's question, Fukuda Kiyoshige's answer was even simpler. Before the US military counterattacked the Philippines, there were Filipino guerrillas supported by Americans who frequently attacked Japanese troops in the Philippines. Although this kind of guerrilla force composed of local Filipinos is not strong in combat effectiveness, too many ants can kill people. Especially after the US military blocked the waters off the Philippines, it became increasingly difficult for the Japanese army in the Philippines to supply supplies. These Filipino guerrillas did not dare to directly engage in firefights with large Japanese troops. They specifically attacked the transportation lines of the Japanese army in the Philippines.

The inability to keep up with supplies, frequent attacks by guerrillas, and the constant escape of local workers forced the Mountain Lily Society's treasure burying plan to be delayed. By the time the U.S. military launched its landing operations, plans for many of the treasure caches that the Yamayuri Association was responsible for had not yet been completed. Under such circumstances, many members of the Yamayuri Association began to seek help from the military. Fukuda Kiyoshige speculated that Yamashita Tomofumi should have passively participated in the hiding of these treasures under such circumstances.

The answer given by Fukuda Kiyoshige made Tangcheng immediately understand that the treasures that MacArthur and the others had transported away before were probably those that Yamashita Fengfumi was involved in. And what Fukuda Kiyoshige said was without Yamashita Tomofumi's participation. At this moment, Tangcheng also felt that there should be many so-called treasures hidden in the Philippines. Tang Cheng, who understood in his heart, ignored Fukuda Kiyoshige's plea and just twisted his neck with a cold face. With the attitude of taking a gamble, Tangcheng started a round of systematic lottery at the place where Fukuda Kiyoshige's body was buried.

Facts have proved that Tang Cheng's bet was right this time. Tang Cheng drew a piece of information from the system about the Shan Lily Society's handling of treasures in the Philippines. After daybreak, Mickey and the others discovered that Fukuda Kiyoshige was missing. Tang Cheng, who pretended to have just woken up, followed Mickey and the others to search around the mountains. "Stop looking. This Fukuda Kiyoshige has been stationed here before, and he must be very familiar with the environment here. He has been running all night, and he must not be able to catch up!" Hans, who had already made a guess in his mind, tried to persuade Mickey and the others. .

He found that when Hans was speaking, his eyes were looking towards him. Tang Cheng did not speak, but secretly nodded to Hans. Hans, who was originally disappointed, was instantly resurrected with full health. He knew in his heart that Tangcheng must have gained something. With the guide gone, Mickey and others were disappointed and could only give up the idea of ​​continuing the treasure hunt. Seeing this, Hans took the opportunity to suggest that everyone move around freely. When he and Tang Cheng were alone, Hans impatiently asked about Tang Cheng.

In the face of Hans' inquiry, Tang Cheng did not hide the fact that Fukuda Kiyoshige was dead, but he only said that he would pursue him after he found out that Fukuda Kiyoshige had escaped late at night. "According to Fukuda Kiyoshige's explanation, Yamashita Tomofumi only passively participated in their Golden Lily plan! Therefore, the treasures found by McAddy and the others are only part of the treasures hidden by the Yamayuri Society in the Philippines! Fukuda Kiyoshige has a copy in his hands, and he himself The result of the investigation is that there are too many of these things, how do we transport them out from here?"

Tang Cheng directly took out the information he had drawn from the system. Hans just read the first two pages and was already gasping because the records in it were so astonishing. "We must not go to Mickey and the others for this matter! There are too many things. Once they get interested, the two of us will be the unlucky ones to take the blame!" There were only two of us here, Tang Cheng, so when Hans spoke, he just A lot less worries.

"You said a lot. There are a lot of things. How to transport them out is a problem! We have no shortage of manpower, and there are enough transport ships. But after all, this is an area controlled by the Americans. So many things want to be transported to the dock for loading. It's impossible for there to be no movement at all." After Hans thought to himself for a moment, he finally spoke and continued. "For example, ask Smith and the others from the Marine Corps to cooperate! When I got off the ship, I noticed that there were many Marine patrols at the Manila port. I guessed that the dock should be the Marine Corps' defense area."

"Compared with Mickey and the second generation of the army, most of the lower-level officers like Smith are facing the consequences of retiring and going home. The lower-level officers like them who are civilians do not perform well enough, nor are they strong enough. background, after retiring and returning home, they have to find a job. If they can't find a suitable job, they may have difficulty even supporting their family, let alone getting married and having children! One can live a good life without doing anything for the rest of their life. I think they won’t refuse the opportunity to live a prosperous life.”

"If they are worried that the matter will be exposed, at worst, they can take their family and live in Myanmar or Thailand! Didn't you say that Thailand has many offshore islands? When the time comes, sell them a few and let them live a good life. The addiction of being the island owner!" Hans laughed out loud as he spoke. Tang Cheng, however, glanced at Hans angrily. He hadn't even said a word about Thailand yet! This guy started thinking about making wishes to random people!

Hans, who was looked down upon by Tang Cheng, didn't care. Instead, he really started to think about it in his mind. "Tang, our plan may need to be adjusted!" After a while, Hans straightened his expression and began to speak to Tang Cheng with a serious expression. "Our original plan was to control the northern part of Myanmar, use our relationship with the British military leaders to do smuggling business with the country, and develop the tobacco business at the same time. But by some strange combination of circumstances, we have almost actually controlled the entire Myanmar, and even got involved with the British royal family. Relationship."
