Lost and Spy

"Your Excellency Taniguchi!"

When he saw "Shibu Taniguchi" appearing again, Taro Masukawa greeted him respectfully.

Not only that, he also specially called Ji Xiang to accompany him, and in order to reassure the other party, he said:

"Your Excellency, my daughter, Aiko, has agreed to stay in Manila."

"very good."

Meng Shaoyuan smiled slightly.

God knows what kind of "ideological work" Taro Maskawa did for Aiko.

Anyway, just achieve your goal.

He took out a stack of documents from his bag: "These are boarding permits to leave Manila."

"Thank you so much, thank you so much."

Masukawa Taro was ecstatic.

He paid such a high price for these seemingly inconspicuous licenses!
"This month's NO.30, boarding starts at eight o'clock in the evening."

Meng Shaoyuan said lightly: "When that day comes, I will personally go to the pier to see off Zengchuan's family."

Masukawa Taro also knew in his heart that this was not to see him off, but just to monitor himself there.

But in order to leave this terrible place, Masukawa Taro no longer cared so much.

While Meng Shaoyuan was getting the license, absurd plays were being staged in Manila.

Those Japanese who got the boarding permit were all ecstatic.

Some people got themselves drunk and shouted wildly.

As a result, one person may have gone too far, and was taken away by the patrolling gendarmes.

After reporting to the superior, Yoshitaro Yamada, Director of the Investigation Bureau of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, said a few words after learning the whole story:
"Getting too carried away will damage the image of the empire's expats. Let him stay in Manila and serve the empire."

This person just lost the license he got because of his presumptuousness!
After being released from the gendarmerie, the man was said to have gone mad.

As for the subsequent whereabouts?Who else would care about it?

And those who did not get the license, some cried bitterly, some were anxious like ants on a hot pot, still refused to give up, hanging upside down there trying to find a way, hoping for a miracle at the last moment!
The Japanese army is also methodically transporting rice, tin and rubber to the pier, ready to be shipped.

The Japanese high-level knew well that this was a tentative test to test the transportation of the Allied forces.

They must minimize possible losses.

Everyone is eagerly waiting for that day to come.

On August 29, the day before the arrival of the "Awa Maru".

"Come with me."

Li Zhifeng took Cheng Yiran out of the gendarmerie prison with a gloomy expression.

Cheng Yiran, execute the death penalty, secretly!
This is an order issued by Shinya Takuma himself.

Who cares about the life and death of a Chinese?

Even if he is a scholar.

This kind of covert execution happens all too often.

Many prisoners held in prisons were secretly taken away and never heard from again.

Live without people, dead without corpses.

Cheng Yiran, who was in handcuffs and shackles, seemed to have known his fate, and walked out with a pale face.

……

The car stopped.

Cheng Yiran was taken out of the car.

He is ready.

The only regret is that he has not found the BJ man skull.

He will not rest in peace.

Li Zhifeng untied his handcuffs and shackles.

Cheng Yiran knew that the last moment had come.

Li Zhifeng reached into his pocket.

But what he took out was not a gun, but a license:

"Tomorrow at eight o'clock in the evening, a ship will arrive in Manila. This is the boarding permit."

Cheng Yiran was at a loss.

But Li Zhifeng continued: "Follow this ship to Japan. Your Japanese is pretty good, so you should be able to survive. You can live anywhere in Japan, but there are two cities that you must not live in. One is Hiroshima and the other is Nagasaki. "

"Why?" Although he didn't understand what happened in front of him at all, he couldn't help asking.

why?
I don't know why, the boss ordered, you ask my boss.

Li Zhifeng said with a straight face: "Don't ask, just do what I tell you. After arriving in Japan, hide your name and wait for Japan's failure before looking for opportunities to return home."

Then, he took out a bag from the car: "This is money and a few gold bars, enough for you to live in Japan."

"You, why did you help me?" Until now, Cheng Yiran still suspected that he was dreaming.

"Don't ask too many questions." Li Zhifeng said lightly, "By the way, when you arrive in Japan, do one thing for me."

He explained what he had to do, and even though Cheng Yiran was bewildered, he still agreed.

"Remember, you must arrive at the pier before eight o'clock tomorrow night."

When starting the car, Li Zhifeng specially instructed: "Take care all the way!"

……

1944, April 8.

Near noon, a behemoth at sea, the [-]-ton ocean liner "Awa Maru", slowly sailed into the pier in Manila.

As soon as it stopped, the people on the boat and the pier immediately started to get busy.

The "Awa Maru" only brought some insignificant supplies to stabilize the morale of the army.

Their real purpose is not to bring hope to the Japanese army.

Immediately, a large amount of supplies began to be shipped to the "Awa Maru".

These are urgently needed in Japan.

Meng Shaoyuan also arrived at the scene, responsible for monitoring and assisting the work.

It was busy until 5 pm, and all the materials were loaded.

Meng Shaoyuan was just looking for something to fill his stomach. Surrounded by a brigade of Japanese troops, Masaharu Honma, commander of the Japanese Tenth Army in the Philippines, appeared!
"Your Excellency, Commander." Takuma Shinya, who was in charge at the scene, greeted him.

"Is everything ready?"

"Yes, it's all set."

Xinya Takuma replied through the interface: "The final preparations are being made now, and passengers will start boarding at [-] o'clock in the evening."

After speaking, he couldn't help but glanced outside.

It was just after five o'clock, and a large number of Japanese expatriates who had boarding permits had already gathered there.

"The materials transported away are nothing compared to those piled up in Manila." Shinya Takuma sighed: "I hope that the maiden voyage of the 'Awa Maru' will go smoothly, which is related to future large-scale transportation."

Shinya Takuma looked at the huge eye-catching green cross on the hull of the "Awa Maru".

smoothly?

Everything was looted by the Japanese army, none of them belonged to Japan!

"Your Excellency, Commander." Meng Shaoyuan also felt after hearing the news.

"You, you have worked hard." Masahiro Honma praised: "I have to check the supplies again, and now, I have to assist in boarding the ship. After the ship leaves, you can take a good rest."

"No need, Commander." Meng Shaoyuan said with a wry smile, "There is still a lot of work to do, and I don't think I have time to rest."

Time passes by minute by minute.

Suddenly, the whistle of the "Awa Maru" sounded three times.

This is telling the terminal that passengers can now board the ship.

"Let's get started." Masaharu Honma glanced at his watch: "Boarding is allowed!"
