Chapter 702 National Treasure
"Missing? What does that mean? Was he kidnapped or did something unexpected happen?" The more Chen Yang listened, the more confused he became.
"Well, let me start from the beginning." Sam took a breath and told the whole story.
Their observation group was organized by the US government.
Many people in the United States today are unwilling to get involved in wars in Europe or even Asia.
Because everyone generally realizes that wars in Europe or Asia will not affect the free America in America.
Moreover, after the lessons of World War I, most Americans believed that even if the United States intervened now, it would be almost impossible to gain much benefit.
In this case, why not just play the role of a spectator.
They can even take advantage of the outbreak of war to sell arms to countries involved in the war.
That's huge profit, especially for a country like China. Even if it's half-sold or half-given away, you can still make huge profits by using their tung oil, pig bristles and mineral resources.
However, the President does not think so.
What he cares about is that the time has finally come for the United States to leap from a local power to a global hegemon.
At this time, the United States, relying on its high nationalism and long-term trade protectionism, has already possessed the power and capital of imperialism.
If China can become the only victorious country in this global war, its position as the global hegemon will be unshakable, and he will become the greatest president in American history, leading the United States to glory.
Therefore, he hopes that the United States will step down, and he wants to fight for the interests of the United States in Asia.
Of course, as of now, the Japanese have the upper hand on the Chinese battlefield and control almost half of the territory.
But Asia is not just China, there is also the resource-rich Southeast Asia.
Including Southeast Asia, the Philippines and other countries.
Not only do those places have rich resources, but their weapons are also extremely backward, and they really need help from the United States.
In particular, the US fleet has crossed the Pacific Ocean and reached Southeast Asia.
The destination of this observation group is the Philippines, where they will record everything they see and report back after returning home.
With this evidence, His Excellency the President will have reason to send some troops out.
Of course, as long as he is defeated, he will have more excuses to send more soldiers until he gets the full benefit....
"Mr. Sam, if you don't tell the truth, it will be difficult for me to help you."
Chen Yang said slowly: "Besides, the purpose of the observation group coming to Asia is not China. Why would the kidnappers choose to act in Shanghai? They are obviously monitoring your movements all the way."
"If my guess is correct, your observation group has been targeted since it left the United States. They are just waiting for an opportunity."
Sam hesitated for a moment and said, "Mr. Chen, Captain Walker is a colonel in the Marine Corps. He has some secrets that cannot be known by others."
"Deputy Captain Hunter suspected that the news had leaked, which led to Captain Walker being kidnapped."
"If this incident is really related to this mission, it means that the U.S. mainland may have been infiltrated by foreign forces."
"We don't have enough strength in China, so we can only hope that Mr. Chen can help us."
Although I heard the other party talking a lot, he didn't reveal any useful information at all.
For example, what exactly is the mission of this observation group going to the Philippines? It is definitely not as simple as just going there to take a look.
Send some insignificant people to take a look. Is it necessary to dispatch a Marine colonel?
"Mr. Sam, the useful information you provided is too little. I can only try my best to help you find it."
"As for whether you can find it, it all depends on luck."
Sam opened his mouth, but no sound came out. After thinking for a long time, he still didn't dare to tell the truth. He could only bow to Chen Yang and said, "I'll entrust everything to Mr. Chen. As long as you can save Captain Walker, any price is acceptable."
Chen Yang politely stood up and escorted Sam out of the office.
"Any price is fine. It seems that this secret is quite important." Chen Yang tapped the table with his fingers. After thinking for a moment, he picked up the phone and called No. 76: "Director Wan? I have a task that needs No. 76 to do..."
In an unremarkable house in Zhabei District, Shanghai.
A snow-white figure was hung in the middle of the house. It was a white man. He was much taller than the average person, and his body was covered with marks left by various torture instruments.
"Mr. Walker, your strength is beyond my expectation." Shimazu Yoshio slowly walked to the white man and lifted his chin with a whip, saying, "But this is useless to me."
"It seems to me that you will have to give me what I want sooner or later. The only difference is that you will suffer a little more."
"Pfft." Walker spat a mouthful of blood at Shimazu Yoshio.
Shimazu Yoshio wiped his face and said dissatisfiedly: "Mr. Walker, you are a noble after all, how come you don't know any etiquette? Don't you know that spitting in someone's face is very rude?"
"Little devils, what on earth do you want to do?"
Shimazu Yoshio smiled and said, "Nothing, I just want to know when those things will be on board the ship?"
"What? I don't know what you are talking about." Walker said he didn't know, but his expression seemed very surprised.
Shimazu Yoshio smiled and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Walker. People here don't understand English, so you can rest assured that they don't understand what you are saying to me."
"If you'll tell me what you know, I'll let you go."
Walker took a breath and said, "I'm sorry, I really don't know what you are talking about."
"It seems I need to tell you in more detail," Shimazu Yoshio said in a deep voice, "In July of this year, before Cabinet Mine stepped down, he signed a top-secret plan."
"The plan is to send a team of special agents to lurk in the Philippines to collect information on the movements of the Philippine government forces."
"In September, the special agent team sent back some special information. In order to avoid irreparable damage to the country caused by the war, the Philippine government decided to transfer more than 400 cultural relics, 50 tons of gold, 130 tons of silver and a portion of US dollars and US bonds in the treasury to the United States for safekeeping."
"Because if this money stays in Manila, if the Empire really decides to take action against them, it will most likely end up in the hands of the Empire."
“They want to bring this money to the United States through the observation mission.”
"So, now I want to know, where are these things now?"
Three chapters are finished, please do not review them again. I have not slept all night, for fear that the book will be gone when I open my eyes...
