Sure enough, just as Tian Qi had judged, Iwabuchi really decided to take action three times! He called Nakahama Matsutomi directly.
During the phone call, Iwabuchi gave instructions three times. In order to strengthen the security forces after the assassinations of Shimata and Hiiro, it was decided to send three officers to assist the command of Nakahama Matsutomi.
However, Nakahama Matsutomi refused. His reason is also simple. First of all, the commander of the security forces, Shimata Kazuhiro, is still in the hospital for rescue. This kind of thing must have his order.
Then, Nakahama Matsutomi clearly stated that the security forces are affiliated with the army and are completely different combat units from the navy.
Rushing to dispatch officers under two different command systems will only cause chaos in the security forces!
The refusal was very straightforward and reasonable, but it made Iwabuchi more determined on the issue of Nakahama Matsutomi three times.
"It's all up to your judgment, Mr. Taniguchi." Shima Iwabuchi picked up the last cigar given to him by Meng Shaoyuan three times, put it under his nose and smelled it: "Then, we can only do the worst. Planned. By the way, does the person you sent next to Nakahama Matsutomi have any information? "
"Commander, are you talking about Hahara Ikko?" Meng Shaoyuan said: "I got in touch with him. Nakahama Matsutomi has strengthened the security of the defense area. Now, everyone will not be allowed to enter or leave without his order. At the same time, , those members of the rebel organization were also secretly transferred by him, and their specific locations are still under further investigation."
"Perhaps, he is going to take action." Iwabuchi put down the cigar in his hand three times: "Rebellion must not happen. Even if it is really unavoidable, the impact must be controlled to the minimum range. Give Nakahama another Mitsutomi's last chance is to call and hold an emergency meeting and ask him to participate immediately!"... Nakahama Mitsutomi put down the phone and his eyes fell on Tian Qi: "Iwabuchi called me three times just now and asked me to come to the headquarters immediately. Call an emergency meeting.”
"What do you think?" Tian Qi didn't say anything directly: "Do you think it's time to go?" At this time, Nakahama Matsutomi was panicking inside.
When a person has a ghost in his heart, no matter what he looks at, he feels that it is a conspiracy against him.
"I'm worried that if I go there, I'll never come back." After a while, Nakahama Tomomicai said: "Not long after the emergency meeting was held, it was going to be held again, and it happened to be at this time. I'm sure There must be something wrong with this.”
"That's right, Nakahama-kun." Tian Qi sighed and said: "Don't go, you have more important things to do." Tian Qi's words gave Nakahama Miyako great encouragement: "I have great respect for the empire and the emperor. No one can question His Majesty's loyalty, and no one can wrongly accuse me. I will never sit still and wait to be killed." At this moment, a sergeant from the security force hurried in: "Your Excellency, Section Chief, in our defense area Some armed men were found nearby."
"Armed personnel?" Nakahama Matsutomi was startled, then reacted. Throughout Manila, the only armed personnel, except for its own security forces, are the Marines.
Was Iwabuchi preparing to do something to him three times?
"You can make preparations, Nakahama-kun." Tian Qi reminded on the side: "We will not betray the empire, but we cannot let those despicable people succeed!"
"Yes, that's it!" Nakahama Matsutomi also made up his mind at this moment: "I will prove my loyalty. Order all personnel to enter combat positions. Stop any unknown people who want to enter my defense area, but without me According to the order, no shots shall be fired unless the opponent forcefully attacks!"
"Hai!" Nakahama Matsutomi still left a way out for himself. Once you take the shot, there is really no turning back.
And this is the result that Nakahama Matsutomi least wants to see.
"Hopefully, we can get through this time safely." Nakahama Matsutomi said in a daze.
"Yes, yes." Tian Qi also agreed. But an imperceptible smile flashed across the corner of his mouth.
…
"Report, combatants have begun to enter the Nakahama Defense Zone and set up weapons!" Iwabuchi was not too surprised by this report three times, as it seemed that everything had been planned by him.
"After all, there is nothing to avoid, Taniguchi-kun." Iwabuchi sighed three times: "The thing you least want to see will happen after all."
"You have tried your best, Commander." Meng Shaoyuan also said calmly: "But I still hope to give it a final try. After all, Nakahama Matsutomi is an officer of the empire."
"You are a good person, Taniguchi-kun." Iwabuchi felt helpless for the third time: "But we have done everything we can, but Nakahama Mitsutomi gave up, and there is nothing we can do. The only thing we can do now is to take the losses and minimize the impact, only targeting Nakahama Matsutomi." Someone sent Meng Shaoyuan a piece of information.
Meng Shaoyuan opened it and looked at it, then said: "Your Excellency, Commander, Ikko Hahara just sent out information that the Nakahama defense area has completed combat preparations. At the same time, it is basically confirmed that those rebels are well-connected with Nakahama."
"Really?" Iwabuchi frowned three times: "Be specific." Meng Shaoyuan said: "After entering Manila, the rebels led by Kanger and Gals quickly received support from Nakahama Matsutomi. , and arranged for them to be hidden in a secret location. At the same time, Nakahama Matsutomi provided them with weapons and ammunition. Currently, there are at least more than fifty rebels in Manila. After the assassinations of Shimado and Hiiro, these armed men, All are missing and their current whereabouts are unknown.”
"Is he really preparing to rebel?" Iwabuchi said viciously three times: "Is he still worthy of being an officer of the empire?"
"In the face of a disaster, everyone will make their own choice." Meng Shaoyuan said calmly: "If he wants to live, it's that simple."
"Does he want to live?" Iwabuchi sneered three times: "To live in shame like a dog? No, the empire does not have such an officer! Shibu Taniguchi!"
"arrive!"
"I order you to command the troops and surround the Nakahama defense area." Iwabuchi made the final decision three times: "We must capture Nakahama Matsutomi in the shortest possible time. However, it is best if there is no battle. After all, those They are all soldiers of the empire and a vital force in defending Manila. Taniguchi-kun, I believe you will find a way." The other party put forward very harsh conditions.
But it seems that Meng Shaoyuan doesn't care at all: "I will do my best, Commander, and I promise that if there is any situation, I will report to you as soon as possible." This is the third time that Iwabuchi trusts Meng Shaoyuan so much. place: "Then, please set off now, I will be here waiting for news of your victory!"
