On November 3, 1944, the Battle of Duoling Ridge broke out.
Both the United States and Japan invested a large amount of effective forces in a fierce battle here.
At the same time, the "Awa Maru" will arrive in Manila for the second time on the 6th.
In Manila, vicious incidents happen almost every day.
There was even a tragedy where the entire family was wiped out.
On the streets of Manila, corpses that died tragically on the street or in a corner are often found early in the morning.
But it didn't matter at all.
The order in Manila fell into endless darkness.
Even if Meng Shaoyuan goes out on the street now, he must wear a firearm.
Those who are red-eyed will not recognize that this man is the head of the secret service in Manila.
In order to ensure safety, Xiaozhong also began to protect Meng Shaoyuan at every step.
Because just yesterday, when Meng Shaoyuan was driving back from get off work, he encountered a drunk man blocking his way.
Meng Shaoyuan, who was extremely alert, did not get out of the car and loaded his pistol.
Sure enough, seeing the people in the car still not getting out of the car, the so-called drunkard's companion couldn't bear it and rushed out of the hiding place.
He also held a sharp knife in his hand.
They smashed the windows crazily, deciding that the person driving the car must be rich.
Meng Shaoyuan rolled down the window and shot decisively, killing one on the spot.
When the remaining people saw that they encountered a tough opponent, they fled in panic.
After returning home, Meng Shaoyuan immediately ordered that from now on, people in his group should not only carry weapons when going on the streets, but they must also work in pairs.
Once a suspicious target is discovered, active shooting is allowed without confirmation!
Meng Shaoyuan had a great "contribution" to the chaos in Manila.
At this time, something happened that gave Meng Shaoyuan a headache.
Major Zuo Nakamura Mitsuki of the Japanese Tenth Army Headquarters in the Philippines was assassinated.
Nakamura's assassination was probably his destiny.
He accepted the commission from his friend to get him a boarding permit.
But there are too many people who want to get this boarding permit. He is just a young leftist and cannot do whatever he wants.
Nakamura had to go to the registration office in person to try his luck.
When he arrived, he was startled by the long line.
It was the rainy season in the Philippines, and there was an endless queue outside the office.
Everyone is mechanically numb.
Even if the rain fell on them, they would not notice it.
From time to time there were fierce quarrels.
It was difficult for Nakamura to pass through the team.
Wearing a military uniform, he showed off the majesty of a soldier and yelled and cursed the team to get out of the way.
But at this moment, Nakamura's waist suddenly felt a huge pain, and then he fell softly to the ground.
The rain is still falling.
Streams of blood flowed slowly along with the rain.
…
"The commander was very angry when he found out."
Tenth Army Intelligence Section.
Takuma Shintani looked a little ugly: "An officer of the empire was assassinated on the street like this. This is intolerable."
Yes, it was too sudden.
Takuma Shintani's face suddenly straightened:
"Shibu Taniguchi, Shinji Serenji!"
Meng Shaoyuan and Xilian Sizhen stood up immediately.
"What are you doing!"
Takuma Shintani sounded stern: "In the recent period, vicious incidents have continued to occur in Manila. There have been two cases of massacres alone.
Although all the victims were local Filipinos, this caused serious panic in Manila. And not only that, even Japanese people are constantly being robbed, raped, and beaten!
The image of the empire in Manila had been completely destroyed. Shibu Taniguchi, Makoto Serienji, what are you doing! "
"Yes, we were wrong."
Meng Shaoyuan and Xilian Sizhen said at the same time.
"Your Excellency, the Commander, has given an order!" Shintani Takuma emphasized his tone: "In Manila, launch a major purge and bring those criminals to justice. At the same time, we must catch the murderer of Mitsuki Nakamura in the shortest possible time. murderer!"
"Hai!"
This seems to be a dead order.
After issuing the order, as usual, Meng Shaoyuan was left alone again.
Everyone knows about the relationship between Shibu Taniguchi and Takuma Shintani.
"What do you think about this matter?" Takuma Shintani asked when no one was in the office.
"Judging from the current situation, it should be an unexpected incident." Meng Shaoyuan said: "When Nakamura went to the office, he didn't tell anyone beforehand, so he couldn't have been prepared.
Moreover, Nakamura is just a staff officer, and the value of killing him is not high. According to my judgment, when Nakamura in military uniform appeared on the scene, there was probably a member of a resistance organization who took advantage of the chaos to kill Nakamura. This was an unlucky guy. "
"It's basically the same as my guess." Takuma Shintani nodded slightly: "My idea is whether we can take advantage of this opportunity to cause more chaos in Manila.
Currently, the US military and the Japanese army are fighting fiercely on Laite Island. As Manila becomes more chaotic, support for the front line will also be direct. "
"I understand, senior." Meng Shaoyuan pondered for a moment and said, "Leave the rest to me."
…
When Meng Shaoyuan left, Xilian Temple was still waiting outside.
As soon as he saw Meng Shaoyuan coming out, Xilianji really smiled and said, "I really envy you, Mr. Taniguchi, and Mr. Xingu regards you as highly as anyone else."
Meng Shaoyuan also smiled: "Xilian Jun, please wait for me here, you must have something to do."
"Let's get in the car and talk."
Serienji really started the car: "What do you think of Nakamura's death?"
"It's a very accidental incident, nothing to make a fuss about." Meng Shaoyuan didn't hide anything: "Xilian Jun, are you interested in the Great Purge?"
Xilianji really smiled even more happily.
Great purge.
This is tantamount to giving them another opportunity to make a fortune.
What is the Great Purge?
Anyone could become a target of the Great Purge.
They can use high-sounding excuses to break into any house, and then plunder without restraint!
"Let's divide the work, Mr. Xilian." Meng Shaoyuan didn't go around in circles with him: "I'll leave the work of the great purge to you. I'll do it to detect the assassination of Zhongcun."
"How can you be so embarrassed?" Xi Lian Si was really startled.
Everyone knows that the Great Purge is a lucrative job.
Meng Shaoyuan didn't care: "There is always someone to do, and we are good at detecting cases. The gendarmerie is very good at this kind of work."
Serenji Zhen was no longer polite, but made up his mind that no matter how much oil and water he got, he would definitely give Shibuya Taniguchi a big sum.
People carry people in sedan chairs.
We are all colleagues and get along quite well with each other. Besides, Shibu Taniguchi is trusted by Takuma Shintani, so it is absolutely right to have a good relationship with him.
Meng Shaoyuan's idea is very simple, don't let the other party interfere with a plan he has designed!
