"How many?"
Li Zhifeng, who was in charge of driving, couldn't believe what he heard.
"In Manila alone, there are forty tons of gold and more than ten tons of platinum." Meng Shaoyuan sighed: "Mine, everything is mine."
"You are really shameless." Li Zhifeng also sighed: "But why do you feel so shameless this time that I like it so much? But have you thought of a way to transport it out?"
"No."
Meng Shaoyuan shook his head: "But I already have a plan in my heart."
Li Zhifeng didn't ask what kind of plan it was.
In short, he was convinced that what the chief had come up with was correct.
"Now, we have to find a way to contact our people." Meng Shaoyuan said thoughtfully.
The last time there was news about them, Tian Qi found a way to deliver it.
Gan Ning now changed his name to "Ba Ning" and became a famous Filipino traitor.
Xu Zhu, on the other hand, commanded a guerrilla force armed with US troops.
Other situations? I don’t know yet.
"It will be more convenient to contact Gan Ning first, and then contact Xu Zhu." Li Zhifeng suggested.
Meng Shaoyuan was silent.
After a while, he said: "Do you think they have changed?"
"What?" Li Zhifeng didn't understand what this meant.
Meng Shaoyuan said slowly: "They have been in the Philippines for a long time, and I haven't seen them for a long time. Who can guarantee that their hearts have not changed?"
Li Zhifeng has no interface.
But he admitted that the officer was right.
For an agent who has been lurking outside for a long time and never contacted the headquarters, no one can guarantee whether their heart has changed.
"Contact Xiaozhong." Meng Shaoyuan said flatly: "Go to Cebu."
That's where they agreed to meet.
Moreover, when Xiao Zhong set off from China, Meng Shaoyuan had already agreed with him on the meeting place and approximate time.
Meng Shaoyuan was convinced of Xiao Zhong's loyalty.
A man who would rather beg all the way than send his boss's wife and children to Chongqing when his boss was killed, could he rebel?
…
Cebu is the second largest city after Manila.
This is the oldest city in the Philippines, not even comparable to Manila.
However, like Manila, as soon as you enter Cebu, you can see Japanese everywhere.
The pass given by Fuzhong Jingze is very useful.
When I encountered inspections several times on the road, I relied on this pass to get through without any obstruction.
Moreover, there has been no guerrilla attack yet.
Once we arrived in Cebu, we found a small hotel to stay at.
As a Japanese, I did not encounter any difficulties at all.
"Go for a walk with me."
Meng Shaoyuan called Li Zhifeng, and by the way asked Fazheng to keep an eye on Bai Huowei.
Since arriving in the Philippines, Bai Huowei has been respectful and in full compliance with Meng Shaoyuan's instructions, and has always maintained contact with Hong Kong.
However, this kind of person cannot be absolutely trusted.
On the first day, I found nothing in Cebu and did not contact Xiaozhong.
The next day, Meng Shaoyuan took Li Zhifeng out early in the morning again.
He believed in Xiao Zhong's loyalty and was convinced that as long as Xiao Zhong was alive, he would definitely contact him as agreed.
Without Meng Shaoyuan's instructions, when he arrived at the busiest place in Cebu, Li Zhifeng took a look at the traces he had painted on the wall yesterday that looked like they were random.
Immediately, he nodded towards Meng Shaoyuan.
Meng Shaoyuan walked into a nearby restaurant.
Inside, many Japanese soldiers were present, and all they heard was Japanese.
Meng Shaoyuan and Li Zhifeng found a seat to sit down and ordered breakfast.
The Philippines is famous for eating rice, even for breakfast.
The more famous breakfast, the staple food is garlic fried rice, served with fried eggs, pickled papaya and some side dishes.
Meng Shaoyuan had been in the Philippines for a few days, and he was slowly getting used to it.
There he ate slowly.
Cebu is relatively peaceful.
After all, the US military's bombing focus was Manila.
A plate of breakfast always has to be finished.
Xiao Zhong still didn't show up.
Meng Shaoyuan was not in a hurry.
Anyway, I have plenty of time now.
After leaving the hotel, I saw a person standing across the street.
Xiao Zhong!
It's Xiao Zhong!
He did not let himself down after all!
When Xiaozhong saw them, he turned around and left without saying anything.
Meng Shaoyuan and Li Zhifeng followed him slowly.
Around me, Japanese troops walked by from time to time.
After turning around an alley, Xiao Zhong stopped at the door of a house, then opened the door and walked in.
Meng Shaoyuan quickened his pace and came to the door. When he pushed it, the door opened.
He also walked in, and Li Zhifeng stayed outside to monitor.
"Brother!"
Xiao Zhong hugged Meng Shaoyuan so tightly: "Brother, I thought I would never see you again."
"I said that as long as we are both alive, we will definitely be able to meet."
Meng Shaoyuan also hugged Xiao Zhong hard, and then separated: "How are you, are you okay?"
"It's not good." Xiao Zhong shook his head: "It's not good at all. I live in fear every day. When I first came here, I was captured by the Japanese and worked hard. I ran out when I found an opportunity."
"You have suffered." Meng Shaoyuan stared at his brother: "There is no need to be afraid now, I am here. Remember, my name is Taniguchi Shibu now, and you are the local guide I hired."
"Understood, brother."
"Okay, let's talk about the situation."
"Yes." Xiao Zhong said immediately: "The Young Avengers are very familiar with the local Japanese army, but I can be sure that their hearts have not changed."
The answer is very simple.
But "their hearts have not changed" is enough.
Meng Shaoyuan personally rescued them and formed the Young Avengers, and passed the strict assessment.
Their main task is to assist Gan Ning and Xu Zhu and monitor them.
And Xiao Zhong is another monitor.
It wasn't that Meng Shaoyuan was suspected of being seriously ill, but that he had to control everything.
Especially in a country like the Philippines, which was occupied by the Japanese and had almost no resources to use.
Meng Shaoyuan nodded: "Can we contact them?"
"Okay." Xiao Zhong said without even thinking, "They live near the Japanese military camp."
"Good guy."
This time, even Meng Shaoyuan became curious: "So bold?"
"I told you, they were very familiar with the Japanese army." Xiao Zhong said with a smile: "They would often take the initiative to help the Japanese soldiers wash their clothes, and would also fish in the river and give fish to the Japanese soldiers.
Just last time, the Japanese wanted to recruit laborers to build fortifications, but the local Japanese garrison was reluctant to let these children go. What else can I say? It’s really inconvenient to send them there. "
Meng Shaoyuan also laughed.
Good guy, this is pretty cool.
"Brother, after I contact them, where can I find you?"
As soon as Xiao Zhong asked, Meng Shaoyuan said: "Here."
"Here? That won't work." Xiao Zhong said hurriedly: "The Japanese often come to check on the door."
"I live in my brother's house, what should I worry about? Japanese? Don't forget that I am Japanese now!"
