Tian Qi didn't know what Master Meng was thinking.

Of course he knew about the "Golden Thief" plan.

Never in their wildest dreams did they imagine that the plan that Master Meng had planned a long time ago would actually allow them to obtain dozens of tons of gold, platinum and a large number of precious cultural relics.

What he didn't expect was that it wasn't over yet.

It's far from over!

Master Meng, turned his attention again:

Santa Romana!

This is the greatest treasure that future Americans discovered in the Philippines!

Master Meng has already begun to think about this treasure.

"Tell me about Jonathan Teach." Meng Shaoyuan took out a cigarette and threw it to Tian Qi.

Tian Qi nodded, took a breath, and said: "Jonathan Teach, an agent of the Office of Strategic Services, is thirty-four years old. Before Japan attacked Pearl Harbor and the U.S.-Japan relations maintained a barely peaceful state, he lurked in Japan.

Tokyo.

Later, his identity was exposed and he was arrested by the Japanese counterintelligence agency. Two months later, the Strategic Intelligence Service learned of Jonathan's whereabouts by instigating a Japanese counterintelligence agent. The Japanese agent described Jonathan as a tough guy.

, suffered all kinds of torture, but never confessed a single word from beginning to end.

It is said that the Japanese once cut off his flesh. Instead of screaming, Jonathan ate his own flesh in front of the Japanese. This made the Japanese agents who interrogated him exclaim. Later, the strategy

Intelligence Agency secretly exchanged him for four Japanese spies captured in the United States."

Meng Shaoyuan nodded: "Yes, he is a man."

After Jonathan Teach was rescued, he continued to work as an agent in the Office of Strategic Services.

After the war, he was sent to the Philippines, where he collected intelligence and was also responsible for commanding guerrilla operations.

He has never been married, but it is said that he has many lovers.

That's roughly the situation.

"Is there nothing else? For example, about personal character and private life?" Meng Shaoyuan asked thoughtfully.

"There is only so much information for the time being." Tian Qi thought for a moment: "If I have to say that there is, it is that before I came, my colleagues reminded me that it is best not to come in person and find another one.

people."

"Oh, why?" Meng Shaoyuan was a little curious.

Tian Qi said: "I have carefully asked my colleagues that Jonathan is a white supremacist. He discriminates against all people of color. His former boss was an American with Indian ancestry. It is precisely because of this that Jonathan and him

The relationship with the boss is always very tense.

Later, after he returned from Japan, he refused to cooperate with his boss. For his merits in Japan, the Strategic Intelligence Service had to transfer his boss. Moreover, probably because of the torture he suffered in the United States, his special

Hate Asians, whether they are Japanese, Filipinos, or even Chinese.”

Meng Shaoyuan seemed to be fascinated by what he heard: "Then he is still commanding the guerrillas in the Philippines?"

"That's not just for meritorious service." Tian Qi curled his lips: "This man attaches great importance to honor, even to the point of obsession. He came back from Japan and was awarded the 'Bronze Medal', but he was very dissatisfied and thought he was completely worthy.

Earn a Distinguished Service Cross or even a Silver Star.

He once said that when he retired, if he could not receive a Silver Star Medal or even a higher medal, it would be a lifelong regret for him. For this reason, although he hated Asians, he still volunteered to be sent to

Philippines, because this may be his last chance.

When he was commanding the guerrillas in the Philippines, it was said that he had a bad relationship with most of the guerrilla commanders. The guerrillas even asked the Americans to transfer him many times. He came back on his own initiative this time. I think all the guerrillas were probably there.

Let’s celebrate there.”

"He is very close to the medal of his dream." Meng Shaoyuan smiled and said: "If it is confirmed that the cave he discovered is indeed the same thing as what I thought, and then it is successfully excavated, then he is completely worthy of it.

Earn a Silver Star."

Tian Qiyi was startled, as if he heard something from the young master's words: "You wouldn't say that Jonathan discovered a treasure buried by the Japanese, would you?"

"It's very likely that it is like this." Meng Shaoyuan had already thought about what to say: "What do you think makes a person who is so eager to get a medal leave the guerrillas on the front line and come back in a hurry? What else is there?

What can't be said in a telegram?

The U.S. military is steadily establishing its superiority in the Philippine battlefield. The Japanese army is lingering and it is impossible to launch a new large-scale offensive. The Japanese army in the Philippines has no secrets anymore. And I had heard this before when I pretended to be Shibuya Yamayuri and Shibuya Taniguchi.

There are some rumors about treasures hidden in Santa Romana, from which I can judge that Jonathan discovered the secret of the Japanese hiding treasures in Santa Romana!"

Tian Qi blinked: "If what you said is right, are you also eyeing this treasure?"

"A monk can touch it, a bald man can touch it, why can't I touch it?" Meng Shaoyuan smiled: "There are so many treasures scattered in the Philippines that will be unearthed by either the Americans or the Philippines in the future.

However, no matter who excavates it, as long as they can find a way to transport it out of the Philippines, there is nothing anyone can do against you. Now that Americans and Filipinos are not able to excavate it, we might as well do it in advance."

Tian Qi is not surprised at all. Is there anyone more courageous than the young master in this world?

Is there anything in this world that the young master dare not do?

He was just a little worried: "This is not easy at all. When I heard my colleagues say that Jonathan is a white supremacist, I was still a little hesitant about coming to Manila in person. But I thought that since I am a member of the Southwest Bureau of Strategic Intelligence

The person in charge of the Pacific Theater, and Jonathan may have important information on him, so I came anyway.

Now, if according to your judgment, Jonathan has such a big secret hidden in him, I'm afraid he won't tell us easily. Do you already have any good ideas?"

Meng Shaoyuan did not respond directly: "Lao Qi, please help me do something today. See if there are any planes from the United States flying to Manila. Help me transfer someone from the United States. The sooner the better."

When he said this person's name, Tian Qi was startled: "Why did you transfer him here?"

"It's of great use."

"Okay, there are flights to Manila every day from the United States. I will make arrangements soon."

Tian Qi then expressed his concerns: "Even if you can deal with Jonathan, there is still a fierce battle in Santa Romana. How to transport the gold without anyone noticing is a big problem."

"We have shipped out dozens of tons of gold under the noses of the Japanese. St. Romana also has a way to solve it." Meng Shaoyuan was full of confidence at this time: "I haven't figured out the specific plan yet, but it can always be done.

found."

Tian Qi has never doubted the young master's ability.

But he started to become a little excited.

At present, there is no suspense about the war in the Philippines.

Tian Qi's work suddenly became a lot easier.

But he wasn't used to this.

And now, a new mission has appeared.

We must quietly transport away a very viable amount of gold under the noses of the Americans and Japanese!

Is there anything more exciting than this?

"By the way, you said you came to Manila for two things this time. What is the other thing?"

At this moment, Meng Shaoyuan's mind started to work rapidly, and he asked this question casually.

"Catch a defector. Lieutenant Colonel Moroso, U.S. Army Southwest Pacific Theater Staff."

Meng Shaoyuan almost burst into tears when he heard this, his eyes widened: "No, there is something wrong with this guy named Moroso's head, right? You said I would have believed it last year, but now?

Everyone knows that the US military’s victory in the Philippines is unshakable, but at this time, this grandson actually defected?”

This is not a disease of the head, it is a case of the head being pinched by the door and then being kicked by a donkey!

"You really think he is crazy." Tian Qi smiled bitterly and said: "Moroso is a Filipino and has served the US military for a long time. After the Japanese army launched an attack on the Philippines, Moroso performed very bravely and outstandingly. And because of this, he became famous.

MacArthur recognized him and transferred him to serve in the U.S. Army as a major liaison officer.

Later, as the U.S.-Philippine coalition forces were retreating steadily, he followed MacArthur and evacuated the Philippines. After that, because of his outstanding performance, he was promoted to lieutenant colonel and joined the U.S. Army Staff Department.

Not long ago, when we were sorting out captured Japanese military intelligence, we discovered that the Japanese intelligence department had begun arranging spies in the U.S. Far East Army and the Philippine Army very early. Especially in 1941, Washington ordered the Philippine Army and the U.S. Army stationed in the Philippines to be

During the merger, the Japanese intelligence agency took advantage of the chaos and planted a large number of spies.

These spies provided a large amount of intelligence when the Japanese army attacked the Philippines, created chaos during the war, and instigated rebellion before the war, directly providing the most powerful help to the Japanese army. Among them, the most successful spy was codenamed 'Coconut Tree'

'."

Tian Qi took out another cigarette, lit it, took a deep breath and said, "This 'coconut tree' has provided hundreds of pieces of important information about the U.S.-Philippine coalition forces by one person. Especially for the U.S. Air Force.

The base provided detailed intelligence, allowing the Japanese army to carry out precise bombings. As a result, most of the US bombers and fighter jets stationed in the Philippines were destroyed, and their air defense capabilities were completely lost. This was also one of the main reasons for the failure of the US-Philippine coalition.

Before MacArthur prepared to land on Luzon Island, his combat plan had been leaked in advance. This was also an important reason why Yamashita Tomofumi concluded that Manila was undefendable and concentrated heavy troops on the Baguio front line.

It is completely conceivable that if the Japanese navy had not suffered a devastating blow before, the Japanese army in the Philippines would not be able to receive effective supplies. In addition, the comprehensive strength of the United States and Japan is very different. Knowing what the US military is going to do next,

But the Japanese army had nothing to do. Otherwise, MacArthur’s landing operation on Luzon Island was bound to suffer the heaviest blow!”

Meng Shaoyuan nodded.

In this sense, "Coconut" is undoubtedly an extremely good agent!

"The funny thing is that the US military intelligence department never knew about the existence of 'Coconut Tree' before this." Tian Qi said with a hint of sarcasm: "When I discovered the 'Coconut Tree', I immediately launched a secret investigation. With the comparison

After analysis, I gradually focused on Moroso.
