Lost and Spy

Chapter 3103 Last Chance

"Taniguchi-kun, you have worked hard."

Seeing "Taniguchi Shibu" reappearing in front of him, darkened and thinner, Iwabuchi couldn't help but sigh three times:

"However, there are not many people around me who I can trust now."

He seriously regarded Meng Shaoyuan as his confidant.

"Your Excellency, Commander, this is the duty of an imperial soldier."

But Meng Shaoyuan said lightly: "Once the U.S. military enters Manila, everyone will become a soldier in every battlefield, let alone me?"

Everywhere is present, everyone becomes a soldier!
This sentence actually made Yan Yuan's eyes shine three times.

What a boldness this is.

Moreover, his idea is completely in line with his philosophy of sticking to the end!

"How about the security forces?" Iwabuchi asked himself the most concerned question three times.

"At present, we are actively preparing for the battle." Meng Shaoyuan also replied truthfully: "According to the command of the commander, the security forces have entered their respective defensive positions, digging positions, and deploying defenses. That's it."

When he said this, he seemed hesitant to speak.

"Taniguchi-kun, if you have anything to say, just say it." Iwabuchi saw the other party's concerns three times: "No matter what, this is an extraordinary period, this is Manila, and I am the only commander!"

These words were almost telling Meng Shaoyuan that Chiguoguo, that he was covering the sky with one hand here!
Indeed, after Fufumi Yamashita decided to abandon Manila, he actually severed all ties with Manila.

The life and death of Manila has nothing to do with Fufumi Yamashita.

"Yes, Your Excellency." Meng Shaoyuan said: "I am very worried about Your Excellency Dao Duo."

Iwabuchi frowned three times.

Meng Shaoyuan continued: "Your Excellency, Commander, Your Excellency Daota is an imperial meritorious soldier who has participated in many battles and has rich combat experience, but he is a member of the army."

He spoke half of what he said, but Yan Yuan understood after hearing it three times.

In terms of actual combat experience, I really can't compare with a veteran officer like Daojima Takazuhiro.

What's more, the contradiction between the Japanese army and navy.

Although, for the common purpose, Shimata and Hiro are his subordinates in name, and are actively building fortifications according to their own deployment.

However, once the war officially starts, I am afraid that I will not be able to command Shimata and Hiro at all.

Meng Shaoyuan was indeed trying to provoke the relationship between Yanbuchi Sanshi and Shimata and Hiro.

But this kind of provocation must be based on facts.

The so-called basis of fact already exists, and everyone is aware of it.

This is like a pair of enemies, temporarily joined together for some special reasons.

But at this time, if someone talks about their past hatred in front of each other, those previous grudges will soon come to mind.

The same is true for Iwabuchi Sanji and Shimata and Hiro.

There was already a seed of dissatisfaction between them, what Meng Shaoyuan is doing now is nothing more than letting this seed grow slowly.

When they grow up and mature, they can naturally pick fruits.

"I understand what you mean, Taniguchi-kun." Yanbuchi said slowly three times: "You are also a member of the army, but in this critical moment, you were able to be impartial.

If everyone in Manila was like you, maybe we could really create miracles here. "

Now, Iwabuchi regards Meng Shaoyuan as "one of his own" three times, and Shimata and Riro also regard Meng Shaoyuan as "one of their own".

And the most amazing thing is that both of them are guarding against each other, and they both think that "Shibu Taniguchi" is a chess piece that they placed beside each other.

Therefore, not only would they not betray Meng Shaoyuan, but they would try their best to protect him.

What Meng Shaoyuan had to do was to find an opportunity in it.

"Taniguchi-san, thank you for telling me all this." Iwabuchi was in a daze three times: "I just got the news that the US military has basically defeated our army on Wright Island and sent an advance force to try to find a landing point on Luzon Island .

It won't be long before Manila is about to usher in more intense artillery fire.Please go back and do your thing. "

It can be heard that Iwabuchi only relied on [-] marines and [-] security forces to defend Manila in that confrontation. In fact, he knew that it was a dream.

All he can do is to die with this city and fulfill his bravery!

And this so-called bravery is accompanied by the lives of tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of innocent people!

……

"The retreat to Sumatra has already begun."

As soon as he got home, Meng Shaoyuan called Mei Xuzi, Ji Xiang and Aiko over, and explained the situation in detail: "The day after tomorrow, the last group of people will leave Manila and go to Sumatra, waiting for the arrival of the 'Awa Maru'.

If any of you want to leave, this is the last chance, just tell me and I will make arrangements. "

Manila is about to become a battlefield.

He didn't want the three women to be buried here.

However, Sumatra? "Awa Maru"?

That's the place to be.

As long as the three of them disagree and are willing to stay by my side, then I have a way to keep them alive.

Mei Xuzi winked like silk: "Should I go back? Go back to Japan? Continue to be with that so-called husband? Taniguchi-kun, I'm not going anywhere, I'll just stay here with you."

The same is true for Ji Xiang.

Like Mei Xuzi, she was extremely disappointed in her family.

How could a betrayed woman return to that kind of place?

Aiko hesitated for a moment.

Meng Shaoyuan also knew that among the three women, the only one who wanted to go back must be Aiko.

After all, she is a daughter, not a daughter-in-law.

"You want to leave?" Meng Shaoyuan helped her out.

"Yes, I want to go back." Aiko summoned up her courage and said, "I miss my family."

"What if I said that now is not the best time to go back?" Meng Shaoyuan said, "Stay in the Philippines, and I can make sure you live until the end of the war. By that time, if you want to go back to Japan, I will definitely To send you back."

Aiko didn't believe it, really didn't believe it at all.

Although she is a woman, she also has a premonition that Manila is about to end.

She doesn't want to die here.

Aiko pursed her lips: "Taniguchi-san, we can still meet in the future."

Meng Shaoyuan sighed in his heart.

She has given Aiko the last chance, but she is still unwilling to seize this chance.

It seems that her position in her heart is not that important.

"Take it, prepare yourself." Meng Shaoyuan stopped trying to persuade him: "I will see you off on time the day after tomorrow."

"Thank you, Taniguchi-kun." Aiko was ecstatic.

To be able to leave this horrible city, to be able to go back to Japan, and not to live in fear every day here anymore!
