Lost and Spy

Tian Qi didn’t know what Master Meng was thinking.

Of course he knew about the "Golden Thief" plan.

They never dreamed that the plan that Master Meng had planned a long time ago would actually allow them to obtain dozens of tons of gold, platinum and a large number of precious cultural relics.

What he didn't expect was that it wasn't over yet.

Far from over!

Master Meng turned his attention again:
Santa Romana!

The greatest treasure this future American discovered in the Philippines!
Master Meng has already begun to think about this treasure.

"Tell me about Jonathan Teach." Meng Shaoyuan took out a cigarette and threw it to Tian Qi.

Tian Qi clicked on it, took a breath, and said: "Jonathan Teach, an agent of the Strategic Intelligence Service, 34 years old. Before Japan attacked Pearl Harbor and the relationship between the United States and Japan maintained a barely peaceful state, he lurked in Tokyo, Japan.

Later, his identity was exposed and he was arrested by the Japanese counterintelligence agency.Two months later, the Office of Strategic Services learned of Jonathan's whereabouts by instigating a Japanese counterintelligence agent.The Japanese agent described Jonathan as a tough guy who had been tortured but never confessed a word.

It is said that the Japanese once cut off his flesh. Instead of screaming, Jonathan ate his own flesh in front of the Japanese. This made the Japanese agents who interrogated him exclaim. Later, the strategy Intelligence Agency, secretly exchanged him for four Japanese spies captured in the United States. "

Meng Shaoyuan nodded: "Yes, he is a man."

After Jonathan Teach was rescued, he continued to work as an agent in the Office of Strategic Services.

Later, he was sent to the Philippines, where he collected intelligence and was also responsible for commanding guerrilla operations.

He was never married, but he was said to have had many lovers.

That's roughly the situation.

"Is there nothing else? For example, about personal character and private life?" Meng Shaoyuan asked thoughtfully.

"There is only so much information for the time being." Tian Qi thought for a moment: "If I have to say there is, it is that before I came, a colleague of mine reminded me that it would be best for me not to come in person and find another one. people."

"Oh, why?" Meng Shaoyuan was a little curious.

Tian Qi said: "I have carefully asked my colleagues that this Jonathan is a white supremacist. He discriminates against all people of color. His former boss was an American with Indian ancestry. It is precisely because of this that Jonathan and him Relationships with supervisors are always very tense.

Later, after he returned from Japan, he refused to cooperate with his boss. For his merits in Japan, the Strategic Intelligence Service had to transfer his boss.Moreover, probably because of the torture he suffered in the United States, he particularly hates Asians, whether they are Japanese, Filipinos, or even Chinese. "

Meng Shaoyuan seemed to be fascinated by what he heard: "Then he is still commanding the guerrillas in the Philippines?"

"That's not just for meritorious service." Tian Qi curled his lips: "This man attaches great importance to honor, even to the point of obsession. He came back from Japan and was awarded the 'Bronze Medal', but he was very dissatisfied and thought he was completely worthy. Get a 'Distinguished Service Cross' or even a 'Silver Star'.

He once said that when he retires, if he cannot receive a 'Silver Star Medal' or even a higher medal, it will be a lifelong regret for him.For this reason, even though he hated Asians, he still asked to be sent to the Philippines because this might be his last chance.

When he was commanding the guerrillas in the Philippines, it was said that he had a bad relationship with most of the guerrilla commanders. The guerrillas even asked the Americans to transfer him many times. He came back on his own initiative this time. I think all the guerrillas were probably there. Let’s celebrate there. "

"He is very close to the medal of his dream." Meng Shaoyuan smiled and said: "If it is confirmed that the cave he discovered is indeed the same thing as what I thought, and then it is successfully excavated, then he is completely worthy of it. Earn a Silver Star."

Tian Qiyi was startled, and seemed to hear something from the young master's words: "You wouldn't say that Jonathan discovered a treasure buried by the Japanese, would you?"

"It's very possible that this is the case." Meng Shaoyuan had already thought about what to say: "What do you think makes a person who is so eager to get a medal leave the guerrillas on the front line and come back in a hurry? What else is there? What can't be said in a telegram?
The US military is steadily establishing its advantage in the Philippine battlefield. The Japanese army is lingering and it is impossible to launch a new large-scale offensive.There are no more secrets for the Japanese troops in the Philippines.And I, when I was pretending to be Shibuya Taniguchi of the Yamayuri Club, I had heard some rumors about the treasures hidden in Santa Romana. From this, I can judge that Jonathan discovered the secret of the Japanese hiding treasures in Santa Romana! "

Tian Qi blinked: "If what you said is right, are you also eyeing this treasure?"

"A monk can touch it, a bald man can touch it, why can't I touch it?" Meng Shaoyuan smiled: "So many treasures scattered in the Philippines will be unearthed by either the Americans or the Philippines in the future.

However, no matter who excavates it, as long as they can find a way to transport it out of the Philippines, there is nothing anyone can do against you.Since Americans and Filipinos can't dig it out yet, we might as well do it in advance. "

Tian Qi is not surprised at all. Is there anyone more courageous than the young master in this world?

Is there anything in this world that the young master dare not do?
He was just a little worried: "This is not easy at all. When I heard my colleagues say that Jonathan is a white supremacist, I was still a little hesitant about coming to Manila in person. But I thought that since I am a member of the Southwest Bureau of Strategic Intelligence The person in charge of the Pacific Theater, and Jonathan might have important information on him, so I came anyway.

Now, if according to your judgment, Jonathan has such a big secret hidden in him, I'm afraid he won't tell us easily.Do you already have any good ideas? "

Meng Shaoyuan did not respond directly: "Lao Qi, please help me do something today. See if there are any planes from the United States flying to Manila. Help me transfer someone from the United States. The sooner the better."

When he said this person's name, Tian Qi was startled: "Why did you transfer him here?"

"It's very useful."

"Okay, there are flights to Manila every day from the United States. I will make arrangements soon."

Tian Qi then expressed his concerns: "Even if you can deal with Jonathan, there is still a fierce battle in Santa Romana. How to transport the gold without anyone noticing is a big problem."

"We have shipped out dozens of tons of gold under the eyes of the Japanese. St. Romana also has a way to solve it." Meng Shaoyuan was full of confidence at this time: "I haven't thought of the specific plan yet, but it can always be done. Found it." Tian Qi has never doubted the young master's ability.

But he started to get a little excited.

At present, there is no suspense about the war in the Philippines.

Tian Qi’s work suddenly became a lot easier.

But he wasn't used to this.

And now, a new mission has emerged.

We must quietly transport away a very viable amount of gold under the noses of the Americans and Japanese!

Is there anything more exciting than this?

"By the way, you said you came to Manila for two things this time. What is the other thing?"

At this moment, Meng Shaoyuan's mind started to work rapidly, and he asked this question casually.

"Catch a defector. Lieutenant Colonel Moroso, U.S. Army Southwest Pacific Theater Staff."

Meng Shaoyuan almost burst into tears when he heard this, his eyes widened: "No, there is something wrong with this guy named Moroso, right? I would have believed you last year, but now?
Everyone knows that the US military's victory in the Philippines is unshakable, but at this time, this grandson actually defected? "

This is not a disease of the head, it is a case of the head being pinched by the door and then being kicked by a donkey!
"You really think he is crazy." Tian Qi smiled bitterly and said: "Moroso is a Filipino and has served the US military for a long time. After the Japanese army launched an attack on the Philippines, Moroso performed very bravely and outstandingly. And because of this MacArthur recognized him and transferred him to serve in the U.S. Army as a major liaison officer.

Later, as the U.S.-Philippine coalition forces were retreating steadily, he followed MacArthur and evacuated the Philippines.After that, because of his outstanding performance, he was promoted to lieutenant colonel and joined the U.S. Army Staff Department.

Not long ago, when we were sorting out the intelligence on captured Japanese troops, we discovered that the Japanese intelligence department had begun arranging spies in the U.S. Far East Army and the Philippine Army very early on.Especially in 1941, when Washington ordered the merger of the Philippine Army and the US military stationed in the Philippines, the Japanese intelligence agency took advantage of the chaos and planted a large number of spies.

These spies provided a large amount of intelligence when the Japanese army attacked the Philippines, created chaos during the war, and instigated rebellion before the war, directly providing the most powerful help to the Japanese army.Among them, the most successful spy was codenamed 'Coconut Tree'. "

Tian Qi took out another cigarette, lit it, took a deep breath and said: "This 'coconut tree', one person has provided hundreds of pieces of important information about the US-Philippine coalition forces. Especially for the US Air Force." The base provided detailed intelligence, allowing the Japanese army to carry out precise bombings. As a result, most of the US bombers and fighter jets stationed in the Philippines were destroyed, and their air defense capabilities were completely lost. This was also one of the main reasons for the failure of the US-Philippine coalition.

Before MacArthur prepared to land on Luzon Island, his combat plan had been leaked in advance. This was also an important reason why Yamashita Fengfumi determined that Manila was undefendable and concentrated heavy troops on the Baguio front line.

It is completely conceivable that if the Japanese navy had not suffered a devastating blow before, the Japanese army in the Philippines would not be able to receive effective supplies. In addition, the comprehensive strength of the United States and Japan is very different. Knowing what the US military is going to do next, But the Japanese army had nothing to do.Otherwise, MacArthur's landing operation on Luzon Island is bound to suffer the heaviest blow! "

Meng Shaoyuan nodded.

In this sense, "Coconut" is undoubtedly an extremely good agent!
"The funny thing is that the US military intelligence department never knew about the existence of 'Coconut Tree' before this." Tian Qi said with a hint of sarcasm: "When I discovered the 'Coconut Tree', I immediately launched a secret investigation. With the comparison After analysis, I gradually targeted Moroso.

Due to Moroso's special status, I immediately reported to MacArthur and received MacArthur's approval to prepare to secretly arrest Moroso.Who would have thought that just because of this report, Moroso would run away. "

"Oh, is there such a thing?" Meng Shaoyuan's curiosity was suddenly aroused: "Is there anyone you Tian Qi wants to arrest who can escape?"

Tian Qi was a little helpless: "When I led people to Moroso's place, I found that this guy was no longer there. And according to colleagues who asked him, he left in a hurry after receiving a call, saying that he was going to the commander. At that moment, I immediately realized that our arrest operation had been leaked in advance. And the source of the leak was when I was reporting to MacArthur!
We eventually zeroed in on Lieutenant Carls, the clerk at MacArthur's headquarters.At that time, when MacArthur signed the arrest warrant, one was given to me and the other was kept for files. All files signed by MacArthur would be classified and filed by Karls, and the intelligence was leaked from him!

We immediately secretly arrested Karls and conducted a surprise interrogation.He quickly explained.Carls is of American-Filipino descent, so he is very close to Moroso, who is a Filipino, but Moroso did not instigate him, but only continued to help him in his life.

Even after the fall of the Philippines, Moroso used his connections to rescue Carls' mother and sister in the Philippines, which made Carls infinitely grateful.After seeing Moroso's arrest warrant, he immediately notified Moroso. "

Only then did Meng Shaoyuan understand what was going on.

Moroso's spy career was not only successful, but also extremely brilliant!

Judging from Tian Qi's words, Moroso should be a "lone wolf", and the fewer people who know his identity, the better.

As a lone wolf, you don't need to develop many downlines.

The more offline people there are, the more dangerous it is.

He usually gives small favors to those in need, using different means to control different people based on their personalities, and ultimately uses them to his advantage.

For example, Karls did not know Moroso's identity as a spy before this.

But when Moroso faced a huge crisis, it was Karls who saved him!
"Moroso was promoted by MacArthur, so MacArthur was extremely angry." Tian Qi continued: "He ordered Moroso to be captured at all costs, and he could be executed secretly!"

MacArthur would never allow such a thing to be made public.

This was something he would never allow to happen because he was so overjoyed with success.

"Manila is a good place." Meng Shaoyuan suddenly said: "Now, with the situation in the Philippines, regardless of cats or dogs, the first place that comes to mind is Manila!"
