Chapter 143: Top Secret Mission (new book, please watch)
Because those at the Nanjing Garrison Headquarters retreated in a hurry, many things were not evacuated in time, so Ma Desheng and others soon started working in the garrison headquarters of the former Ministry of Railways building, and quickly restored the garrison headquarters and the front lines. Troop communications.
Then, new orders were sent from the garrison headquarters to various units on the front line.
Since the vast majority of the front-line troops had not received previous orders from the garrison headquarters, and did not know that Tang Shengzhi and others had already become "long-legged flying generals", they had no doubts about Li Guoyao's orders and resolutely implemented them.
In fact, the troops participating in the Nanjing Defense War were basically the elite of the national army, and there were also some miscellaneous troops, but the number was very small. In terms of overall quality, it was much higher than the average national army. If the commander had been changed, this battle would not have been as bad. He was beaten so badly.
But now that the matter has come to this, Li Guoyao doesn¡¯t want to make any big words to defend Nanjing City. His greatest hope is to bring all the more than 100,000 elites in Nanjing City safely to Jiangbei.
With Li Guoyao¡¯s order and reinforcements from more than a dozen regiments of the independent brigade arriving at battlefields throughout the city, Nanjing¡¯s originally shaky city defenses stabilized. Although the situation was still very dangerous, the Japanese army was still unable to break into the city for a while.
Seeing that the situation had stabilized, Li Guoyao immediately ordered people to call Ma Desheng and Jiang Feng in!
"Tour Master, are you looking for us?"
Li Guoyao nodded and said: "Now there is a top-secret mission that you need to complete, but everyone needs to keep it secret. Can you do it?"
Ma Desheng and Jiang Feng looked at each other, then nodded and said, "Yes!"
"Okay, Lao Ma, now you take the guard battalion and the reconnaissance battalion and rush to the vicinity of Tiancheng Foreign Bank immediately. In the name of the garrison headquarters, take control of the headquarters of the Central Bank and the Bank of Communications, and then take the contents of the vaults of these two banks. Load them all, and then I will ask Deputy Brigadier Xu to get a few ships waiting for you at the coal port alone." Li Guoyao said.
"yes!"
"Jiang Feng, you will go with Lao Ma with the reconnaissance battalion in a moment, but your task is not to control the bank, but to immediately search all Japanese commercial banks, including Tiancheng Bank and Hitachi Bank. The focus of the search is Hitachi. Foreign Bank, according to the information we received, the Japanese army formed a special organization before the Battle of Nanjing began."
Then Li Guoyao continued: "This organization is affiliated with the Japanese royal family and is specially used to plunder and rob China's gold and silver as well as various precious cultural relics. This organization has already started operations in Nanjing City, and their home bases include Hitachi & Co., Ltd. Several large trading houses. So the mission of your reconnaissance battalion is to find these people and eliminate them all!"
"yes!"
"In order to cooperate with your action, the 15th Guard Regiment is already waiting for you in the Commercial Bank District. This operation is very important to us. Not only must you be fast, but you must also keep confidentiality." Li Guoyao said.
"yes!"
Looking at the two people leaving, Li Guoyao felt a little excited. According to the decrypted documents he had seen before, when Nanjing was destroyed, the Central Bank and the Bank of Communications, among the four major banks of the National Government, stored a large amount of money that was too late to be transported away. Gold and silver, and the amount was very considerable. Later, the money was naturally robbed by the Japanese devils.
Now that he is here, it is impossible to leave this money to the little devils anyway, not to mention the tens of thousands of people in the Independence Brigade. So far, they have not received any military expenses from the National Government, but brothers need to eat and drink, right?
What's more important is that the independent brigade doesn't know how many people will die in this battle. The Nationalist Government can ignore them, but Li Guoyao cannot ignore them. When people are alive, they entrust their lives to Li Guoyao. If people die or become disabled, you can't. No matter what, at least you should get the pension you deserve!
¡°But based on Li Guoyao¡¯s understanding of those in the Military and Political Department, he may not necessarily regard those in the Independence Brigade as martyrs, so Li Guoyao needs a sum of money to settle down the brothers¡¯ families.
So from the moment he entered Nanjing, Li Guoyao was eyeing those two banks, but Li Guoyao knew that someone else was also eyeing these two banks, and that was the Golden Lily organization of the Japanese royal family.
Many people actually don¡¯t know that during World War II, while Japan trampled all Asian countries with force, it persistently and secretly implemented a ¡°Golden Lily Plan¡± to plunder the wealth of the occupied countries. The main organizers of the plan were members of the royal family.
In 1937, Hirohito and his advisers established the "Golden Lily Organization", one of the reasons for the establishment of this organization?In order to ensure the direction of this wealth, the Japanese royal family must ensure that these war wealth only flow into the emperor's treasury. Therefore, the Golden Lily Organization is a royal organization, including finance, accounting, bookkeeping, shipping experts and various treasure experts.
But because it is shady, although the agency is supervised by members of the royal family, it is implemented by manipulating the underworld. The underworld is squeezing China's wealth like a cow, and the Golden Lily Project is to squeeze out that layer of cream.
Japan's plunder of China started in the Northeast and then spread to Shanghai, Nanjing and hundreds of towns across the country. China's gold nuggets, treasures, diamonds, various colored gemstones, porcelain, works of art, ancient fossils, priceless products worth billions of dollars The thread-bound classics, religious relics and ancestral treasures have all become the possessions of the Japanese.
When the Japanese army began to surround Nanjing, the Nationalist government once again let the people down. Chiang Kai-shek first ordered government agencies to withdraw to Wuhan, and then to Chongqing, Sichuan. Although the Nationalist Government has packed as many collections as possible from the National Museum and art from other cities into boxes and shipped them to the rear, there are only so many that can be boxed and shipped away, so there is still a large amount of wealth left in the areas occupied by the Japanese. City.
What¡¯s more important is that compared to the superficial wealth between the circulation and the nobility, China has more invisible and invisible wealth.
Asia was once the richest region in the world, and China was the richest in Asia. Even the corrupt Manchu Qing Dynasty in China had the highest GDP in the world. For thousands of years, China's GDP has been hovering around 40% of the world's. To put it bluntly, Asia once had as much gold as the world, not to mention that Asia¡¯s population accounted for 75% of the world¡¯s population at that time, and Europe was a beggar when it came to gold.
Although the Western impression of the Chinese during the Japanese invasion was that of the "sick man of East Asia", a country that was extremely corrupt and riddled with bad habits, it was on the verge of collapse and would collapse at the first touch, like a shriveled old lady on a pair of small feet. Many people believe that China's economy has been bleeding blood for a long time, but this is completely untrue.
The assets transferred from one warlord to another are still insignificant compared to the wealth hidden among the people. The continuous robbery of China by Western powers has caused a large amount of palace treasures to be lost, but this has not affected other rich people, businessmen and ruffians. Gold, art and ancestral heritage in the hands of the underworld. Because these people did not trust banks, the Chinese very cleverly kept their property in the form of small gold bricks.
The rulers of the past dynasties in China monopolized trade in the form of tribute, and other commercial activities were illegal and punishable by death. Businessmen were always the target of oppression. Their property was confiscated, they were imprisoned, or they were exiled with their families to "barbarian lands" outside the Central Plains. The result was that Chinese businessmen had to operate in secret and bribe local officials in order to survive.
????In China, commerce has been conceptually illegal for 3,000 years. It was not until the late 19th century that the crumbling Qing dynasty allowed merchants to operate openly as a concession to growing Western influence and for the sake of much-needed fiscal revenue. Thus, according to traditional practices, vast amounts of Chinese wealth remain hidden.
The vast majority of foreigners don¡¯t know this, but the Japanese do, because there were similar situations in Japanese history.
Before the Meiji Restoration, Japanese rulers and samurai regarded businessmen as parasites, so Japanese businessmen used to hide their wealth in this way. The purpose of the Japanese royal family in establishing the Golden Lily Organization was to hide these wealth among the people. All the invisible wealth is plundered into his own hands.
