Chapter 3519 Golden Story

Chapter 3519 Golden Story

"Hey, Major, there's one alive."

The American soldiers who were wearing protective clothing and piling up and burning corpses suddenly shouted.

What's so strange about having someone alive?

The meaning of "total annihilation" does not really mean total annihilation.

"Major, an officer."

When the voice came again, it attracted the attention of Major Garland.

He and Kret looked at each other, and they understood each other.

After a while, two people wearing protective clothing finally reached the battlefield.

At first glance, I saw several American soldiers holding flamethrowers surrounding a Japanese soldier who was sitting on the ground.

From the tattered uniform, one could barely tell that he was a lieutenant colonel.

Next to him was the body of a soldier, who had obviously been stabbed to death.

"Lieutenant Colonel Ishida Wan'ichi?" Kret immediately thought of this person.

This is the information obtained from the Japanese prisoner.

When he heard someone calling his name, Ishida Wanyi raised his head in confusion.

His eyes were filled with despair, without even a glimmer of hope.

Kret soon understood what happened here. He took a look at the body and asked, "Did you kill him?"

Ishida Wanyi nodded mechanically.

"And then, you wanted to commit suicide." Kret looked at the knife again.

This time, Ishida Wan'ichi answered with a frown, but there seemed to be a hint of shame in his eyes.

"What's going on?" Major Garland asked curiously.

"Have you heard of the Bushido spirit?" Krete's tone was full of contempt: "This lieutenant colonel, when failure was inevitable, thought of the Bushido spirit. He killed the soldier first and then prepared to commit suicide, but when the knife touched his skin, he backed off."

"Because he is scared?" Major Garland understood immediately.

"Yes, he is afraid." Krete said coldly: "Murder and suicide are two completely different concepts. You can easily stab a sharp knife into someone else's heart, but you may not dare to cut a knife on your own body."

Major Garland smiled. "I agree."

Krete went on to say, "Another point. If it was two years ago, no, even a year ago, he might have had the courage."

Major Garland was a little puzzled: "Why?"

Kret was silent for a moment, then said, "It's a difference in state of mind."

He didn't go into detail.

The difference in state of mind is that simple.

When a team wins victory after victory on the battlefield, everyone from officers to soldiers becomes arrogant. For example, these Japanese monkeys firmly believe that the so-called imperial army will win, and are full of arrogance and madness.

However, when they fell into their current situation, their state of mind naturally changed.

"Then, what should we do with him?" Major Garland pointed at Ishida Wan'ichi, who looked like a puppet.

"He's dead." Kret simply disdained him: "He's alive, which is the same as being dead."

Then, he completely lost interest in what was going on here: "Major, I have something else I want to talk to you about. We need to find a quiet place."

"of course."

At this time, Major Garland had complete trust in this young American businessman.

Just as they turned to leave, a scream suddenly came from behind them. It was the voice of Ishida Wan'ichi.

……

In Crater's office, he closed the door, poured the wine, handed a glass to Major Garland, and lit a cigar himself: "Major, what do you think of wealth?"

"wealth?"

"Yeah, do you like money?"

"Of course, who in this world doesn't like money?" Major Garland smiled and said, "I always want to be a rich man. You may know that troops like us stationed here always make some money through the black market."

"Yes." Krete felt the same way. "But who can blame you? The war will end one day. When that day comes, I think many of you will return home. The war has brought a lot of trauma to the soldiers. How will they live in the future when they return home? Therefore, it is not shameful to prepare more pension for yourself."

"It is really a happy thing to be understood," Major Garland said with emotion.

"Major, have you heard of some legends?" Krete suddenly changed the subject: "It is said that the Japanese army plundered a large amount of wealth in Southeast Asia, including gold, silver, and jewelry. Most of them were hidden in the Philippines and there was no chance to transport them away."

Major Garland was definitely not a fool. He suddenly thought of something: "Mr. Krete, this is the first time I've heard of this legend. Do you know anything about it?"

At present, almost no one knows about the Japanese army’s treasure hidden in the Philippines, even the top American officials. Garland, a mere major, certainly could not have heard of it.

Krete said slowly, "Yes, I have heard of it, and I have also confirmed that this legend is not a legend, but the most true. Major, if you happen to find a batch of gold and have the opportunity to make it your own, what will you do? Or will you report it to your superiors?"

This must be done.

Because according to the information Meng Shaoyuan had, a huge amount of gold was buried in San Romano.

However, it was simply impossible to transport such a large amount of gold without telling the local US troops.

Only with the full assistance of local US military officers can the gold here be transported out smoothly.

How can we get the full assistance of American officers?

Wealth and greed are the things that are easiest to impress others.

Now, it's time for Major Garland to make a choice.

Of course he could choose to refuse.

If this is done, it is hard to say what the future fate of Major Garland will be.

It is even unknown whether he will suddenly disappear.

When Kret asked this question, he had already made the fastest plan.

When Major Garland was annihilating the Japanese army led by Lieutenant Colonel Ishida Wan'ichi, he unfortunately contracted malaria, and then...

Major Garland was silent for a while, and finally spoke: "Suppose that there is really the gold you said, and it can really become yours, only a fool would report it to his superiors."

Then, he added: "These are all based on assumptions. Even if there is gold, how can it be hidden from so many people and how can it be transported out of the Philippines? This is the most important thing."

Major Garland passed the first test.

However, Kret would not believe it so easily: "Major, everything I said is just a hypothesis. Gold? I like it, I really like it. I think maybe we can really find gold!"
