"Your Excellency, on behalf of all my colleagues, I welcome your return!" Komura Kenji had already been waiting outside with people from the secret service.
As soon as they saw Meng Shaoyuan coming out, everyone immediately bowed deeply and respectfully. That annoying Yushi Ouchi is finally gone.
And, never come back.
"Everyone, thank you for your hard work." Meng Shaoyuan said calmly: "While I was recovering from my injuries, I missed you all very much. It is my wish to be able to fight with you all again."
"Your Excellency, please give us new tasks." Komura Kenji immediately said: "We are deeply angry at the death of the great minister. I have sent people to do our best to detect this case."
"Ah, that's great." Meng Shaoyuan looked at it but didn't seem to care much: "I thought that there were too many strange things involved in the death of the big cabinet minister, and it would be very difficult to really solve it. Of course, the big cabinet minister The conspiracy under the cabinet must be detected, but during this extraordinary period, we must focus more on how to defend Manila." After listening to Gao Cun's suggestion, he understood it.
This is Lord Taniguchi's hint that Ouchi Yushi's death can be put on hold for the time being. This is what these agents want.
Ouchi Yushi's death was so strange that no useful clues could be found at the scene. Moreover, judging from the current situation in Manila, it is even more difficult to break the eucalyptus.
But Mr. Taniguchi is so considerate. In such a chaotic moment, who would really care about the death of an already annoying guy?
"I understand, Your Excellency." Komura Kenji said loudly: "We know what to do."
"Okay, let's get back to work." Meng Shaoyuan ordered casually when he saw Tian Qi, Fazheng and Gan Ning were also there.
…
"Tell me about your current job." In the office, Meng Shaoyuan closed the door and said.
"Manny now has special trust in me. He has reorganized the 'Free Philippines'." Tian Qi took the lead and said: "I helped him convey a lot of news, and there is also a group of followers who are willing to follow him."
"The role of this person will only appear in the future." Meng Shaoyuan said: "What you have to do is to ensure his safety. Where are you?"
"Today's Japanese spies, especially the middle-level ones, are not focused on work." Fazheng smiled: "They are all thinking of ways to make a last buck. The main job is instead those of us who have just joined the spies. made."
"People, there are very few people who don't think about themselves at this time." Meng Shao's original words were sarcastic: "The problem is, they made so much money, what is it for? How do they bring it back to Japan?"
"Yes, some of them have also considered it." Gan Ning said immediately: "Many people are thinking about the 'Awa Maru'."
"They are not qualified to board the ship." Meng Shaoyuan sneered: "I called you here today to tell you in advance that the next boarding address of the 'Awa Maru' will be in Sumatra." Don't correct these people. Not surprising.
As the US military's bombing intensifies, the material transfer work at various ports in Manila has already begun.
Just a few days ago, a large amount of supplies had been shipped and left Manila. Even when their air power was almost completely lost, the Japanese army also used transport aircraft to risk a short-distance flight from Manila to Sumatra without air escort.
Therefore, many smart people have predicted
The next destination of the "Awa Maru" is Sumatra. And most people thought they were still at the Manila port, where everyone was waiting impatiently.
"Not only that, Yamashita Fengwen will soon declare Manila an undefended city." Meng Shaoyuan's words made several people stunned.
Preparations for street fighting are underway in Manila. How come it turned into an undefended city in the blink of an eye?
"However, even though Yamashita Fengwen issued orders, Iwabuchi would not obey them three times." Meng Shaoyuan glanced at his subordinates: "Manila will soon be in great danger. I decided to start evacuating in batches." Everyone was in high spirits as they listened to Meng Shaoyuan continue: "Xu Zhu and others immediately retreat to the jungle and get in touch with the US guerrillas. Tian Qi, you are responsible for informing the US military."
"Understood!" Tian Qi agreed.
"The guerrillas under the command of Xu Zhu were personally armed by MacArthur before the evacuation, so there is no need to worry about the Americans giving them little shoes to wear." Meng Shaoyuan was silent for a moment and said: "Xiao Zhong, Shang Heng and others, Along with the transportation of supplies, the first group retreated to Sumatra and other places to monitor the movements of the Japanese troops and join up with the landing US troops at any time. Fazheng and Gan Ning, the second group evacuated Manila. Remember, the first priority is to ensure your own safety. The Americans are about to fight back, don't lose your life before victory." Fazheng asked calmly: "Boss, where are you?" Gan Ning also suddenly realized: "Yes, boss, where are you? Iwabuchi I have decided to die with Manila three times. Once the street fighting breaks out, boss, I am not saying that I am discouraged. No matter how smart you are, you will encounter accidents anytime and anywhere."
"I am the head of the Manila secret service. I can't leave." Meng Shaoyuan said mockingly: "Besides, Iwabuchi has been deployed in Manila three times for a long time. Once the street fighting breaks out, it will be very brutal. I need to be there before the US military attacks Manila. Get in touch with them as soon as possible, hand over the defense map of Manila to the US military, and annihilate all Japanese troops as quickly and violently as possible!"
"At the same time, you still have to look at the hidden gold, right?" Tian Qi said sarcastically: "You have to find an opportunity to transport the gold out as soon as possible."
"Hey, I am your boss after all, so I can't give you any face." Meng Shaoyuan stared.
Tian Qi ignored him and sighed to himself: "So, I have to stay, because I am an important bridge for you to get in touch with the US military, and I will die with you even if I die. Then It's Li Zhifeng, he's your personal bodyguard, he won't leave even if you drive him away. OK, you stay, Lao Li and I will be buried with you."
"Damn it, you keep saying these depressing words." Meng Shaoyuan smiled and said, "That's it. I, Tian Qi, and Li Zhifeng will stay, and the others will be ready to retreat."
"Boss!" Fazheng looked at his immediate boss: "In Chongqing, you were the last one to evacuate. When we arrived in Manila, you stayed until the end. We all know that once you decide something, no one can persuade you. , I just want to tell you, we still want to see a boss like you, we haven’t worn enough shoes yet.” Meng Shaoyuan laughed again: “This is really the first time I have heard such a ridiculous and weird request like yours. Said it!"
