After the invasion of China 14 years, the Japanese army not only caused more than 35 million casualties in China, but also plundered an amazing amount of wealth from China. What he did was heinous. How much wealth did the Japanese army plunder from China during the invasion of China 14?
1, gold 2 1000 tons: the Japanese army will search everywhere, from wealthy bankers to ordinary people, and will not let go of any gold and silver jewelry, including corpses, and plunder 2 1000 tons of gold. Gold, silver and jewels are transported back to Japan directly or after being melted and recast by the Japanese army.
2.8 billion tons of grain: During the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression period, almost all the major grain producing areas in China fell. The Japanese army not only directly ate nearly 500 million tons of grain in China, but also plundered nearly 300 million tons of grain and shipped it back to Japan and the Pacific battlefield.
3. Mineral resources: 640 million tons of coal, 700 million cubic meters of trees, 200 million tons of rare earth, 0.5 tons of kaolin/kloc-0 and 490 million tons of copper.
4. Precious cultural relics and antiques: According to statistics, the Japanese army plundered 3.6 million boxes of cultural relics 1879 from China. Some scholars estimate that there are 2 million historical relics from China among the Japanese 1000 museums today.
5. Countless machinery, equipment and factory materials: After the Japanese army breaks the city, it will carry out organized looting, ransack major shops and factories, and transport everything that can be shipped back to Japan.
6. Spamming counterfeit banknotes: The Japanese army set up a pseudo "Manchuria Central Bank" in the northeast and issued a large number of pseudo "Manchuria"; Set up "China United Reserve Bank" in Beiping and issue fake "United Bank Notes"; Set up a pseudo "central reserve bank" in Nanjing and issue a pseudo "medium deposit certificate", making a profit of more than several billion yen.
The amount of wealth plundered by the Japanese army from China is heartbreaking. However, after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, the National Government was forced to abandon its claim against Japan for various reasons. On the other hand, relying on the huge wealth plundered from China, Japan regained its vitality in just a few years after the war and created the so-called economic miracle.
