The atmosphere in the headquarters was extremely solemn.
No one thought that a massacre would happen in Manila.
This also made Iwabuchi shameless three times.
This had never happened when Masaharu Honma was in power.
And after he took over, this happened.
Isn't this a slap in the face?
"Suppression, resolute suppression!" Iwabuchi gritted his teeth three times and said: "Kill all those who participated in the massacre, leaving no one behind!"
Now, it's not just Binondo there.
After the Binondo overseas Chinese massacred, they seemed to be infected, or perhaps they could no longer endure the oppression of the Japanese army. Resistance incidents of varying degrees occurred in many places in Manila.
And there is an intensifying trend.
Three times Iwabuchi had to decide to kill him.
"The situation has been basically investigated."
Takuma Shintani walked in from the outside with an equally serious expression: "It seems that Binondo has decided to fight to the end. They have organized a total of three lines of defense."
Then, he told everyone present all the information he had obtained.
"Asshole!" Sailianjizhen said loudly, feeling that he had been humiliated: "Please allow me, Commander, to personally lead the team to suppress it!"
"Wait, I don't agree."
At this time, Meng Shaoyuan, who usually would not be the first to express his opinions easily during meetings, actually said.
Everyone's eyes fell on him.
Iwabuchi glanced at him three times: "Taniguchi-kun, tell me your opinion."
"Yes, Your Excellency, Commander." Meng Shaoyuan said calmly: "From the current point of view, Binondo is ready to fight tooth and nail. The three lines of defense they have set up explain everything very well.
[In view of the general environment,
The first road in Binondo is composed entirely of elderly people over sixty years old. It is basically used to delay death. If it can kill a few of us, that would be even better.
The second line of defense is composed of middle-aged people in their forties and fifties, and they are used to risk their lives. Here we will definitely encounter strong resistance.
Although these common people cannot inflict real damage to us, they will still cause us a lot of trouble. Then there is the last line of defense.
All the young people in Binondo are concentrated here. These strong young people have a certain resistance. What is even more troublesome is that a large amount of explosives are piled in the Lin family ancestral hall. "
"So what." Sailian Temple didn't care at all: "Even if the imperial soldiers suffer certain losses, we must still completely suppress this attack against the empire!"
"Of course, suppressing it is not difficult." Meng Shaoyuan said calmly: "But what kind of impact will this have, Lord Xilian, have you ever thought about it?
Now, our entire focus is to defend Manila. Of course we won't care about small-scale attacks, but in Binondo, where tens of thousands of people were involved, the impact is huge.
If the epidemic cannot be quelled in a short period of time, the consequences will be extremely severe. Moreover, this will also trigger a series of chain reactions. Moreover, this reaction has already begun to appear.
Currently, many large and small massacres have occurred in various parts of Manila. I think this is inseparable from the massacre in Binondo. "
Iwabuchi listened very carefully three times and nodded slightly: "I think what Taniguchi said is very reasonable. Suppression is not difficult, but how to minimize the impact is the most important.
We need to evaluate how much time it will take to suppress Binongduo *** and what price it will cost. So, Taniguchi, what do you think we should do? "
Meng Shaoyuan was waiting for him to ask himself: "I think there is nothing more important than defending Manila, and collecting food is also a top priority!
Binongduo's *** has certain special characteristics. I believe I was not prepared for it before.
, so it’s not out of control yet. I suggest that we send someone to negotiate with them immediately. "
"What, negotiation?" Serenji stood up immediately: "Your Excellency Taniguchi, how can we negotiate with those bastards? An imperial soldier paid his precious life for this!"
"Calm down, Xilien." Iwabuchi said coldly three times: "Listen to what Taniguchi has to say."
"Hai." Xilian Si sat down angrily.
Meng Shaoyuan then continued: "Binondo also occupies a very important position in your commander's plan to defend Manila. If the people there are violently expelled, it will inevitably lead to more serious riots.
But this time, it gave us the best opportunity. I firmly believe that after the attack, those people were also panicked inside. They would not think of dying with us until the last moment.
Therefore, negotiation is the last opportunity they have. We ordered them to hand over not less than ten of the murderers and, as punishment, removed them all from their existing residences.
In this way, this incident can be quickly put down without delaying time or causing the imperial soldiers to suffer losses again! "
Meng Shaoyuan knew it all too well.
The death of a Japanese soldier in Binondo's army will inevitably lead to the craziest and bloody revenge of the Japanese army.
Binondo is bound to shed a river of blood.
I don’t know how many overseas Chinese will die under the butcher’s knife of the Japanese army.
Although I don't want to get too involved, these are overseas Chinese, and I must do everything possible to protect them to the greatest extent possible.
The sacrifice of ten people and the temporary loss of their homes can protect thousands of innocent people!
This is the only thing I can do.
Iwabuchi fell into deep thought three times.
For him, collecting food is the most important, and defending Manila is his responsibility!
Before the U.S. military approached, such a massacre occurred in Manila. If it could not be put down quickly, it would be intolerable to him.
Killing too many people will do nothing to defend Manila.
And "Shibu Taniguchi's" suggestion seems to be the most feasible method at present.
After a long time, Iwabuchi finally asked three times: "Taniguchi, if this task is given to you, can you complete it?"
"I will do my best, Commander." Meng Shaoyuan wanted this effect.
"Then, I decided to leave this negotiation to Shibu Taniguchi."
Iwabuchi no longer hesitated three times: "However, I only give you one day. If Binondo's rebellion cannot be quelled within one day, then I will send out the army without hesitation to completely suppress it.
Sirian Temple, order the military police to make full preparations, and I will send two squadrons to assist you! "
"Hai!"
Meng Shaoyuan and Xilian Sizhen replied loudly at the same time.
negotiation?
Who should be sent to negotiate?
I am definitely not the most suitable candidate.
Meng Shaoyuan began to make quick calculations in his mind. He had more important things to do and couldn't be distracted for the time being.
Who among my men is the most suitable for this task, and who can convince the overseas Chinese to understand their current dire situation in the shortest possible time?
