二战中,日本的铁蹄迅速踏遍整个东亚地区。在侵略扩张过程中,日本军国主义者专门成立了掠夺亚洲人民财产的秘密机构——“山百合”会。裕仁天皇任命皇族成员竹田宫恒德亲王为该组织在亚洲的负责人,他们将从中国掠夺来的大量财物、黄金等都运回日本本土。但是,在东南亚掠夺的大量金银财宝却由于各种原因没有运回日本国内。 During World War II, Japan’s iron trotters quickly traveled throughout the entire East Asian region. During the process of aggression and expansion, the Japanese militarists set up a secret organization called “Mountain Lily” to plunder Asian people’s property. Emperor Hirohito appointed a member of the royal family, Prince Taku Takeda, as the head of the organization in Asia, who seized large quantities of property and gold from China and returned them to Japan. However, a great deal of gold and silver treasures looted in Southeast Asia have not been shipped back to Japan for various reasons.
