Lost and Spy

Chapter 3351 Patient Persuasion
quarantine area.

This was originally a concentration camp used by the Japanese army to detain American troops, but now the Japanese army was imprisoned in reverse.

Good reincarnation!
Almost all of the 520 Japanese soldiers who surrendered were infected with malaria.

What is the use of so-called throwing away sick companions?
Including Nobuhiro Kitazawa, everyone relaxed from the first minute they walked out of the jungle and entered the concentration camp.

Once a person relaxes, he immediately falls down.

"Treat Nobuhiro Kitazawa with all our strength."

This was an order given by Meng Shaoyuan himself.

No matter how many other Japanese soldiers died, it had nothing to do with Meng Shaoyuan.

As long as Nobuhiro Kitazawa is alive.

Mesmaran disinfects the quarantine area every day.

The so-called disinfection is nothing more than using DDT.

One meal was provided every day in the quarantine area to ensure that Japanese soldiers would not starve to death.

But just such a meal has already made these Japanese soldiers burst into tears of gratitude.

Compared to life in the jungle, this place is already paradise.

On the night they entered the quarantine area, four Japanese soldiers died.

The body was immediately dragged out and burned, which was the best option.

However, DDT disinfection combined with drug treatment is still very effective.

Malaria has been effectively controlled in the next district.

Of course, quinine, a precious drug, would never be used by the Japanese army.

……

Mayor Durcombe has too many things to worry about these days.

All work simply cannot be carried out.

The last visit to the temporary hospital not only failed to achieve any results, but also made me lose face.

Moreover, assistant Mikael was taken away by the US military.

Mayor Durkom also tried every means to rescue him.

But to save a person from the hands of the Americans, there is no way unless the Americans agree.

After hard work, I still got some information.

Mikael was transferred to the Manila Police Station, where he was detained and interrogated.

This immediately gave Durkom hope.

The Manila Police Department also needs to take orders from itself.

He immediately sent someone to the police station and asked the police station to temporarily hand over Mikael to the custody of the city government immediately, and then return him to the police station after assisting the city government in handling government affairs.

This shows that Durkom is quite aware of the current situation.

After all, Mikael was taken away by the Americans, and he would never dare to directly order his release to the police station.

Then, just find an excuse to get Mikael back first.

Presumably, the police department would not disagree.

However, when receiving Dulkom's order, the Chief of the Manila Police Department directly told the mayor that Micael was personally supervised by Deputy Station Varnado, and Varnado obtained the American A direct order, and he had no way to interfere.

Immediately, Durcomb called Varnado again.

But on the other end of the phone, Varnado told the mayor that he had no choice and he could not release Varnado. Therefore, this would arouse the anger of the Americans and implicate himself.

After speaking, he hung up the phone.

When he saw that his order had no effect, Dulkom became angry.

Could it be that as the mayor of Manila, I really can’t do anything?
He immediately put down what he was doing and drove directly to the Manila Police Station.

Fortunately, I finally met Varnado.

In front of the mayor, Varnado seemed to be very submissive, which made the mayor feel somewhat relieved.

"I can't, really can't."

When he heard the mayor once again put forward the order to hand over Mikael to him, Varnado looked embarrassed: "Mayor Durkom, I respect you very much, and I am willing to let you go under your leadership." Manila should return to its former glory as soon as possible. But there is nothing I can do about it.

Mikael was handed over to me by the Americans, and I was warned that if anything goes wrong with Mikael, I will bear all the responsibility.You also know that I have done things for the Japanese before, but once the Americans investigate, everything will be over for me. "

Durkom said: "You can tell the Americans that this is an order I gave you, and I will bear all the responsibilities."

you?
Varnado scolded the other party as an idiot in his heart, but his expression became more and more submissive: "Mayor Durkom, it's not that I don't trust you, but Mikael is your assistant, not to mention this. Where is this little person like me?”

Durkom was speechless for a moment, and his face hurt as if someone had slapped him.

After a while, he said helplessly: "Then, you can at least take me to see Mikael."

"Of course, Mayor Dulkom." Varnado sighed: "But you have to be mentally prepared, you may not want to see it."

……

Durcombe couldn't believe his eyes.

Is that person in the cell Mikael?

Jean huddled there, covered in bruises.

When he finally saw the mayor, Mikael cried "Wow".

He climbed to the door of the cell with difficulty and shouted loudly:
"Help me, Mr. Mayor, help me!"

"What exactly is going on!"

Durkom turned around with an angry look on his face: "Tell me why this is happening!"

"This is not what we want to do." Varnado said helplessly: "Similarly, this is also an order from the Americans. They must obtain a confession from Mikael and put great pressure on us. .

You have to know that for this reason, our interrogators had to adopt some special methods.Of course, Mr. Mikael received my treatment immediately after his confession.Don't worry, although he doesn't seem to be in good condition now, his life is not threatened. "

Durcombe was shaking all over.Varnado stepped forward and whispered: "Go to my office. There are some things I want to report to you in advance."

……

By the time they reached Varnado's office, Durkom was still shaking.

That's because of anger.

"Please calm down, Mr. Mayor." Varnado took out the file from the drawer and pushed it out gently: "You can take a look. This is Mr. Mikael's confession. In it, he confessed that he had been a puppet Government does things, you know. And he still, you don't care.

Mr. Mayor, I know that there are many people like Mikael in the city government. If the Americans don't pursue them, there will be no problem. But now the Americans are focusing on them.In other words, you have been involved in the Mikael incident. "

Durkom's expression changed.

Varnado saw it in his eyes, but still said calmly: "Yes, you are the mayor, and the Americans will continue to let you serve the citizens of Manila, but what about other people? You know better than me that in the city, There are too many people like Mr. Mikael in the government.

I am worried that the Americans will use Mikael as a breakthrough to continue arresting more people. "

Durkom was completely chilled.

Once this is done, the entire Manila city government will be paralyzed in an instant.

And he will become a bare mayor.

acting?

I'm afraid this acting mayor will never be heard from again.

He didn't even bother to read Mikael's confession. He sat there blankly and said in frustration: "Why? Why are the Americans targeting me so much? What did I do wrong?"

"Mayor Durkom, there are some things I shouldn't say, but I think I should tell you anyway." Varnado sighed and said, "Actually, it's not the Americans who want to target you. They really want to target you. Actually it’s Colonel Charles.”

"Him?" Durkom was startled.

Varnado nodded slowly and said: "I heard that you once went to see Colonel Charles, but you didn't show much respect for him, and even had some commanding tone. This will of course arouse Colonel Charles was displeased.

According to my experience in dealing with Colonel Charles, this is a man who is very capable, but not very open-minded.It can even be said that you have offended him, but you don't know it yet. "

Durcombe was stunned.

When had I ever offended Colonel Charles?

Varnado continued: "Colonel Charles is the highest military commander in Manila, but do you really think he only cares about the military? It can even be said that as long as he does not agree with anything in Manila, there is no way to proceed.

I think you also saw what happened later. You and your city government were unable to move forward at all, and at this time you made another mistake.When you encountered a conflict with Colonel Charles, you did not take the initiative to communicate with the colonel, but directly went to President Osmina. "

Durkom found that his brain was not enough: "When I encounter difficulties, Is it wrong to seek help from Mr. President?"

"Of course there is nothing wrong from your point of view, but from a human perspective you are wrong." Varnado told him patiently: "Colonel Charles will think that you have completely ignored him. , and even went against him, trying to use the mayor's power to suppress him.

Okay, some of the following words may sound uncomfortable to you, but I still have to tell you.In the Philippines, it is not President Osmeña who has the final say. The real people in power are Americans. This is very harsh, but it is the fact.

What you don’t even know is that standing behind Colonel Charles is General MacArthur and the entire U.S. government.Do you really naively think that he will obey President Osmina's orders?I think you know what happened next. "

Durkom's head was buzzing.

Varnado looked at him and then said: "Now, President Osmina is the interim president of the Philippines, and you are the acting mayor of Manila. The election will be held soon. If we continue to proceed according to the current situation, , do you really think you can become mayor?”

Durkom's face was extremely ugly, and it took him a long time before he said: "I don't care, I don't have to be the mayor. All I look forward to is the future of Manila."

That's enough, you liar politician.

If you weren't eyeing the position of mayor, would you do this?
Varnado was dismissive in his heart, but said: "Ah, of course, I completely understand your painstaking efforts. But I thought that even if there was a different mayor, he would not do as well as you. For the future of Manila , you should stay in this position."

Dulkom then said bravely: "So, is there any way?"

Varnado was waiting for his words: "Actually, it's not impossible to solve. I heard that Colonel Charles has two hobbies, one is beautiful women and the other is money."

Durkom was stunned for a moment, then realized what was happening. A trace of disdain flashed across his face: "You mean, you want me to bribe him?"

Of course, his reaction could not be hidden from Varnado.

disdain?

When you despise others, don't you know that you are the biggest wretch?
Varnado smiled and said: "It can't be said to be a bribe, it just increases the friendship with the colonel. If you can gain the colonel's friendship, I think maybe your future work will become much smoother. I even believe that Mi Kael will be released tomorrow."

"Thank you for your advice, Deputy Director." Durkom stood up: "But I don't believe that no one can control Colonel Charles. I don't believe that every American will stand by the Colonel. Side. Goodbye, Deputy Director."

"Good luck, Mr. Mayor."

Watching Mayor Durcombe leave, Varnado sneered and picked up the phone on his desk: "Please help me answer Colonel Charles' office."

……

Durcombe left the police station, somewhat lost and confused.

At this time, he saw a car parked next to his car.

The window opened and the driver said to him: "Hey, Mayor Durcombe, can I take you back?"

Major Afrin!
Durcombe hesitated for a moment, then got into the major's car.

Afrin started the car: "Are you here to see Mikael?"

Durkom nodded heavily.

"Is Mikael okay?"

Durcombe shook his head again.

He suddenly thought of something: "Major Afrin, I heard that your second brigade expansion plan has been approved?"

"Yes." Afrin didn't hide anything.

Durcombe asked hesitantly: "Major, did you get the consent of the Americans first?"

"Of course, Mayor Durkom." Afrin said frankly: "Without the full support of the Americans, I don't think the military expansion plan will be passed so smoothly. I also heard that between you and the Americans, Ah, to be more precise, there are some conflicts between you and Colonel Charles?"

Before meeting Varnado, Durcombe did not think there was any conflict between himself and Colonel Charles.

But after Varnado's description, he still knew that things were not that simple.

"In fact, there is absolutely no need for this." Afrin seemed to be trying to persuade him: "In order to liberate the entire Philippines, the Americans have sacrificed too much for us. Now, even if they make some unreasonable demands, it is actually completely understandable.

Mayor Durcombe, if you wish, I can act as a mediator between you and Colonel Charles, but of course, Mr. Mayor, this is based on your complete trust in me! "
