"According to accurate intelligence, the Americans have turned against the Philippine guerrillas and started a massacre!"
At the meeting, Takuma Shintani looked gloomy: "Everyone, do you think this is a good thing for us?"
"Yes." The first one to speak was the Chief of the Special High School Course of the Military Police, Shirenji Zhen: "Previously, with the support of the Americans, although the Philippine guerrillas were not very effective in combat, their frequent harassment also made us Feeling physically and mentally exhausted, we had to deploy a large number of troops and set up defenses everywhere, which greatly dispersed our strength.
And now, since the Americans and the Filipinos have turned against each other, a large number of Filipino guerrilla commanders and members have been killed, quickly weakening their strength. This is of great benefit to the empire but no harm. The Philippine guerrillas suffered this heavy blow, and for a long time, I was convinced that they all lost their combat effectiveness. "
"Yeah?"
Takuma Shintani just said this, and then he turned his attention to Meng Shaoyuan: "Taniguchi-kun, what do you think?"
Meng Shaoyuan was silent for a while and said, "I'm very worried."
Worried?
What are you worried about?
Several people in the conference room were at a loss.
Meng Shaoyuan said slowly: "On the surface, it seems that the strength of the guerrillas has indeed been weakened. However, you may not have noticed a problem.
Previously, the guerrillas in the Philippines were roughly divided into three types: the guerrillas commanded by Americans and composed entirely of Americans. The Filipinos' own guerrillas, the guerrillas commanded by Americans and mixed with Filipinos.
Although these three types of guerrillas are allies with each other, their cooperation is limited and intelligence cannot be fully shared. Therefore, their combat effectiveness is weak and they cannot pose a substantial threat to us.
There was no shortage of such precedents before. The imperial transport team was attacked, and the guerrillas' allies who were close to Chichi were unable to provide reinforcements. However, the imperial reinforcements who were farther away arrived on the battlefield in advance, avoiding the situation. caused greater losses.
But now, as the US military commanders have basically controlled the guerrillas active throughout the Philippines, they have a unified communication system and a unified command system, and their combat effectiveness has been greatly improved! "
As soon as he said these words, everyone suddenly realized.
Dispersed power is incomparable to a combined fist.
"Shibu Taniguchi saw the essence of the matter." At this time, Takuma Shintani said: "The concentrated power is the most terrifying thing.
In order to completely control the guerrillas, the Americans did everything possible and even mobilized the power of public opinion to wantonly smear the top leaders of the Free Philippines.
Now that their goal has been achieved, I have a premonition that in the near future, Americans will command guerrillas everywhere to carry out a major riot to consolidate the rights they have obtained! "
"There's something even scarier."
Meng Shaoyuan sighed: "Before, the Americans had always supported the guerrillas because they needed the existence of the guerrillas. But now they choose to take action and unscrupulously kill Filipino commanders. This only shows one point."
He looked around at the crowd and said slowly: "The Americans no longer need these guerrillas. On the contrary, the existence of the guerrillas will only harm the future interests of the Americans!"
There was silence in the conference room.
Americans no longer need these guerrillas.
The Americans already know that they have enough strength to occupy the Philippines and no longer need the assistance of these locals!
This is a heavy blow to the hearts of all Japanese people!
"Yeah yeah."
Takuma Shintani looked worried: "What Taniguchi Shibu said is exactly what worries me the most. Everyone, be prepared for battle."
After speaking, he cheered up: "I have just received information that Lava, the leader of the Free Philippines, fled before the massacre by the Americans began.
And his so-called close comrade-in-arms, the number two man in the Free Philippines, Manny, is also on the run, and, according to reliable intelligence, Manny has absconded into Manila! "
"Manila?" Serienji Shinichi was startled: "How dare he come to Manila?"
"Why not? Now in comparison, Manila is the safest for Manny." Takuma Shintani said coldly: "After the Americans fully seized power, except for several major cities in the Philippines, guerrillas were everywhere. The place is powerful.
But no matter how arrogant the Americans are, they will not dare to enter Manila under any circumstances. Moreover, before becoming a rioter, Manny lived in Manila, where he was born into a large family.
After he became a rioter, in order to win over him, we did not touch his family for the time being. On the contrary, we gave them comfort and even gave them official positions to help the empire and govern Manila together.
Manny is now as panic-stricken as a bereaved dog. His heart at this moment should also be full of despair about the future. Therefore, it is very likely that he will contact his family. I command! "
Everyone stood up.
Takuma Shintani's voice was cold: "Conduct comprehensive surveillance on the Manny family. Once he appears, he will be secretly arrested immediately, but he is not allowed to be harmed. This person is of great use to the empire and is an excellent weapon for us to use against the Americans. !”
"Hai!"
"Perform the mission immediately, adjourn the meeting! Shibuya Taniguchi, please stay alone."
Meng Shaoyuan followed Takuma Shintani back to his office.
After closing the door, Takuma Shintani asked, "What do you think?"
What do you think?
How can I see it?
Meng Shaoyuan thought for a while and said: "Senior, what you mean is that Manny is as useful to the Japanese as it is to us?"
"Yes, Manny cannot fall into the hands of the Americans, and he cannot fall into the hands of the Japanese!" Takuma Shintani said without any concealment:
"As the number two figure in the free Philippines, this man has extraordinary political influence. Judging from the current situation, it is inevitable for Americans to return to the Philippines.
I said, I don’t care whether they are Japanese or Americans. What I consider is only our interests and the interests of our country.
Although a Manny cannot change the future situation, it can at least make Americans unable to rule the Philippines with peace of mind. It can reveal to a certain extent that Americans are not actually good people! "
Meng Shaoyuan was really impressed with his admiration.
He knows the future direction, but Takuma Shintani does not.
He only made such a judgment based on his rich experience and keen sense of the situation.
"I understand, senior." Meng Shaoyuan said immediately: "Don't worry, I will find Manny before the Japanese and hide him safely. When he needs to play his role, I will let him appear."
"Then I'll beg you, and be sure to pay attention to your own safety. We're about to win!"
