Chapter 338 Arriving in Xiangjiang
The next morning, the Bank of East Asia's Tokyo headquarters contacted the staff on the cruise ship transporting gold by telegram.
They wanted to determine the location of the cruise ship, but it was not foolproof for them to move from Hujiang to Tokyo.
Especially in recent months, they occasionally see reconnaissance aircraft from the United States flying into this area.
Now they found that they could not get in touch at all. It was not until noon that the president of Bank of East Asia realized that something was wrong.
He knew the current situation of the entire war clearly, and the outcome of the empire in this war was basically determined.
The current situation is just a last-ditch effort, and there is no way to change the course of the battle.
The United States' entry into the war was too much pressure on the empire.
Ever since the failure of the Battle of Midway, the top leaders have understood that the Empire should not have attacked Pearl Harbor in the United States.
450 tons of gold! It wasn't owned by the Bank of East Asia alone; to put it simply, it belonged to high-ranking military officials.
In the eyes of many people, the change of dynasties was inevitable, and the Japanese Empire was likely to be in ruins after the defeat.
But if they had this gold, the families or clans of these powerful people could live well.
The Japanese yen will depreciate significantly, but the gold looted from China will not depreciate.
The senior management of Bank of East Asia headquarters had to inform some powerful leaders in Tokyo headquarters.
Please ask the Imperial Air Force to order reconnaissance aircraft to search the sea near China.
He believed that this large amount of gold would never be secretly transported away by the Chinese, as China did not have the strength to do so.
The sea is an unfamiliar territory for the Chinese.
The reason is simple. The armies of the two Chinese parties have no navy at all, and they don’t even have a ship of larger tonnage.
In addition, the cruise ship that the Bank of East Asia arranged was of such a large tonnage that even if it sank, it would leave traces when sailing on the sea.
Even if we take a step back, as long as we determine the sea area where the cruise ship transporting the gold sank, we can basically determine where the gold is.
Once the conditions are ripe, we can arrange for people to salvage it.
450 tons of gold! Even if converted into US dollars, it's a huge amount, and if converted into Japanese yen, it would be even more.
The Japanese Imperial Air Force stationed in Hujiang received instructions from its superiors and immediately arranged two reconnaissance planes to conduct deep space reconnaissance.
After searching back and forth twice, the suspected remains of a cruise ship were finally found in the sea two hundred miles away from Hujiang River.
It was not until around four o'clock in the afternoon that a warship of the Japanese Imperial Navy arrived in the area and confirmed that the wreckage was the cruise ship transporting gold from the Bank of East Asia.
Although Bank of East Asia President Ito Omoto was not satisfied with the result, he had to accept reality.
They have asked the Imperial Military to arrange a squadron of Imperial soldiers to guard the cruise ship transporting the gold.
Unexpectedly, the Chinese blew up the cruise ship transporting gold, and wiped out a squadron of imperial soldiers.
450 tons of gold sank to the bottom of the sea, and it is not certain whether it can be salvaged.
In order to transport this batch of gold, the Bank of Toyo paid a huge price, but it did not expect to get such a result.
The place where the wreckage is found is not necessarily the place where the gold sank to the bottom of the sea. The reason is simple: the wreckage will move.
Finding the wreckage of the cruise ship only roughly determines the approximate location of the 450 tons of gold.
A few days later, the Ye family's submarine quietly entered the waters near Xiangjiang Island at night.
Bai Jinda and a group of brothers drove a ship to pick up Ye Xiaoyang and his group.
On the way, Teacher Chen already knew that Ye Xiaoyang and his team had successfully carried out the operation and successfully blew up the Bank of East Asia's gold transport cruise ship.
However, they don’t know how much gold has sunk to the bottom of the Huangpu River.
Leaving mainland China and going to Hong Kong, everyone is reluctant to leave, but more people are excited.
From now on, Hong Kong will be the headquarters of Taoism, and the Taoist brothers will have another battle in Hong Kong.
Sect leader Ye Xiaoyang said that they, the brothers, must find a way to save the lives of the Japanese devils on Xiangjiang Island.
Not a single Japanese devil or Japanese person will be allowed to leave Hong Kong alive and return to the Japanese Empire.
Bai Jinda spoke first:
"Master, thank you for your hard work!"
"Brother Bai, how are our brothers in Hong Kong doing?"
"Reporting to the Sect Master, the situation in Xiangjiang is relatively simple. The brothers will quietly lie in wait as you requested.
When the brothers learned that the Sect Leader was coming to Hong Kong, they were all very excited and hoped to meet him.
"Brother Bai, please thank my brothers for me. After these few years in Hong Kong, some of them should have started families, right?"
"Well, most of the brothers have already started families, and some of them already have two children."
"Very good, children are the future of our sect.
After we eliminate the Japanese devils on Xiangjiang Island, I will lead my brothers to make money, lots of money.
Our children will receive the best education in the future. After China is unified, they will be able to serve the country and contribute to its development after their academic achievements."
Mei Zihan, Luo Qiushan and others saw that Ye Xiaoyang and Bai Jinda were very engrossed in their conversation and did not go over to disturb them.
An hour later, Ye Xiaoyang and his friends followed Bai Jinda and his friends to a villa.
Cheng Dahu, Song Changsheng and others were waiting here for Ye Xiaoyang and others to arrive.
The brothers had already prepared a sumptuous midnight snack.
Seeing Ye Xiaoyang walk into the hall, Cheng Dahu immediately trotted over, grabbed Ye Xiaoyang's hand and prepared to kneel down.
Ye Xiaoyang grabbed it and said:
"Brother Cheng, kneeling is not popular in our Dao sect. Brothers can only kneel to the sky, the earth, and their parents."
Cheng Dahu was deeply moved.
"Master, we've finally got you here. We really want to wipe out the Japanese on the island."
Ye Xiaoyang understood his brothers' feelings. It was indeed not easy for them to suppress their own impulses and also to suppress the impulses of their brothers.
"You have done a great job. Hong Kong will be the home of our Taoist sect and our foundation in the future.
We don't let you reveal your strength because we don't want any forces to notice our Taoist sect.
When the British Empire soldiers and the United States attack Hong Kong Island, we will wipe out the Japanese with lightning speed.
And we must take this opportunity to seize the wealth that the Japanese have looted on Xiangjiang Island in recent years.
If the Daoist sect wants to develop in the long term, it cannot do without sufficient funds."
Cheng Dahu nodded. He didn't expect that the sect leader Ye Xiaoyang had set his eyes on the wealth that the Japanese had plundered in recent years.
A few years ago, when the Japanese invaders seized Hong Kong, the Taoist brothers took away all the gold, US dollars and British pounds in the four major banks on Hong Kong Island.
Unexpectedly, their leader planned to use the same method again. It was so exciting just thinking about it.
Ye Xiaoyang followed Cheng Dahu into the large eight-immortals table in the middle of the living room, and he was invited to sit in the main seat.
Everyone was standing and waiting for Ye Xiaoyang to take a seat. Ye Xiaoyang was not polite either. He was the leader of the Taoist sect and did not need to be humble.
Seeing the sect leader sit down, the others also sat down.
"Brothers, as far as I know, the Japanese devils will be defeated and surrender in a few months.
At present, the United States' bombers fly to the mainland of the Japanese Empire from time to time to carry out bombing.
The Japanese had sensed the sun was setting, and before we arrived, they had blown up the Bank of East Asia's gold-carrying cruise ship.
Ye Xiaoyang brought this news, which excited the brothers who came to welcome them.
The leader of the sect is the leader of the sect. He must give the Japanese a final blow before leaving Hujiang.
I just don't know how much gold was on the bombed Japanese cruise ship? But they didn't ask.
At this moment, Luo Qiushan said:
"Look at how curious you all are. You want to know how much gold is on the Japanese cruise ship, right?"
Song Changsheng scratched his head and said:
"Brother Luo, the four of you should all be involved, right?"
Song Changping continued:
"Of course, the Sect Master bewitched everyone on the cruise ship and then waited for the four of us to board.
There was a squadron of Japanese troops on the cruise ship transporting gold.
The necks of these little Japanese soldiers were broken by the three of us, Senior Brother Bai, Senior Brother Chen and I.
Senior Brother Luo is in the cockpit of the cruise ship, helping the Sect Master to steer the ship that is transporting gold."
Song Changping looked at his brother Song Changsheng with a proud look on his face, as if to say, look, we are all so powerful.
Chen Haifeng interjected:
"Don't worry about this batch of gold. The Sect Master has already made arrangements. This batch of gold belongs to the Chinese people.
Once the two parties decide the winner, a new China will be established.
The Sect Master intends to tell the winner the location of the gold sinking as a gift for the establishment of New China."
Cheng Dahu quickly asked:
"Master, can the Red Party's millet and rifles really defeat the Deep Blue Party's central army?"
Ye Xiaoyang nodded, his eyes looking at Cheng Dahu with great determination, and said slowly:
"This is the prosperity of the Chinese people. The Deep Blue Party represents the capitalists in Jiangsu and Zhejiang.
The Communist Party represents the poor people of China, so it is only logical that the Communist Party should win the world."
Everyone present nodded, and their Taoist sect spared no effort in helping the Communist Party organization.
This was probably the reason why the leader valued the Communist Party organization the most at that time, as these people also came from poor backgrounds.
If they had not met the sect leader, they would have lived a hard life, and their descendants would still have lived a hard life.
As the saying goes, he who wins the hearts of the people wins the world. The Communist Party’s proposal of “land distribution among the landlords” has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
The key point is that the leaders of the Communist Party organization not only shout slogans, but they also do real good for the people.
It would be a blessing for the Chinese people if a party like the Communist Party could gain control of the country.
They didn’t understand what life was like for the Chinese people in the past one or two hundred years.
Now they understand that such days can be said to be in dire straits.
After working hard for a year, the whole family can't even fill their stomachs, let alone buy new clothes.
