Just as Allied intelligence agencies were launching a comprehensive investigation into the "Murdock Incident," trying to locate the missing gold reserves of the German National Bank, Kang Guowei and his squad had already boarded a plane to Tunisia, where they would join the main force heading to Southeast Asia.
To cover up Kang Guowei's movements, Pierre specifically recalled several search teams from the front lines. After all, the plan was for the troops to return to Asia, so this did not arouse any outside suspicion.
After Kang Guowei and his group left by plane, Allied intelligence also investigated the search teams, but the investigation clearly led nowhere—there was no way a dozen or twenty trucks could have transported thousands of truckloads of gold and other artworks.
