Shimado and Hiiro are dead.
This is not surprising to Iwabuchi Sanji.
Originally, after the mutiny was put down, there was no need for this person to continue to exist.
In Manila, only one person has the final say.
This person is Iwabuchi Sanji!
Shimado and Rilang?
This man is old and has military merit. More importantly, he has been at odds with Iwabuchi three times.
However, Iwabuchi had nothing to do with him three times before.
Now, the mutiny gave Iwabuchi three times a perfect opportunity.
Therefore, when Meng Shaoyuan came back to report that not long after arriving at the hospital, Shimado and Hiiro couldn't hold on and died, Iwabuchi just said "oh" three times.
It was as if an insignificant character had died.
"The current situation of the security forces is stable." Iwabuchi said for the third time that he did not want to care about Shima Ta and Hiiro's affairs at all: "Shima Ta is dead and Nakahama Matsutomi is on the run. Someone must control the security forces as soon as possible and stabilize the morale of the military."
As he spoke, he glanced at Meng Shaoyuan: "Taniguchi-kun, you are the deputy commander of the security forces, and you should shoulder this responsibility. I order you to serve as the commander of the Manila security forces!"
"Hai Yi, I will do my best to serve you!"
Meng Shaoyuan was not surprised at all.
This position of commander was originally reserved for himself.
In Iwabuchi's eyes three times, Meng Shaoyuan was that "one of his own".
Besides, he has no one else available right now.
If you use Marine Corps officers, the people in the security forces will definitely not be convinced.
After all, the contradiction between the Japanese navy and the army is absolutely irreconcilable.
Meng Shaoyuan was different.
He was originally from the army and had served as deputy commander for a period of time, making it easier for people in the security forces to accept him.
But what he never dreamed of was that the security force of 4,000 people was under the control of Meng Shaoyuan. God knows what this young master would do.
There is nothing in this world that Master Meng dare not do or cannot do.
…
"Brother!"
"Brother!"
The two young men stood up.
In front of Nakahama Matsutomi, one of them was called "Conger" and the other was called "Gols".
But they have another name:
Thank you Great Wall.
There is another one, also named Meng, Meng Zhejun!
They are, Young Avengers!
"I just sent you out of Manila, but I brought you back so soon." Meng Shaoyuan said with a smile: "I have no choice but to carry out this plan at the last minute, so I have to transfer you back."
"It's okay, big brother." Meng Zhejun said with a smile: "We were originally active near Manila. When we heard that big brother called us, we were happy. Now we can learn skills from big brother."
"Boy, your flattery skills are on the rise these days." Meng Shaoyuan glared at him.
He transferred Meng Zhejun and Xie Changcheng back to perform the mission.
Those who resisted the organization were the real guerrillas in the Philippines, the same group of people who were previously commanded by Xu Zhu.
They had no idea their true purpose of coming to Manila this time.
They don't need to know either.
They are all just pawns in this plan.
"It's too easy to rebel." Xie Changcheng seemed to be feeling a little emotional: "After these people were captured, most of them chose to surrender without much resistance."
"So, this looks more real." Meng Shaoyuan said: "This is what Tian Qi and I have discussed. It is easier to gain the trust of the Japanese by using real guerrillas to enter the city and be captured."
As he said that, he looked outside: "Today is the last day of 1944. Let's have a drink together in the evening to celebrate this difficult year."
Unfortunately, in Manila now, even Meng Shaoyuan has no way to get more supplies.
There are only two dishes prepared.
Fortunately, there is wine!
Wine is enough!
"Brother, we respect you!"
Xie Changcheng and Meng Zhejun raised their glasses together.
"To the New Year!" Meng Shaoyuan said while holding a wine glass: "To our country and to the coming victory!"
Li Zhifeng, who was also called, also said: "Respect the compatriots who sacrificed their lives for victory!"
The four people's wine glasses touched together.
Here’s to the coming victory!
"Tomorrow is the first day of the new year."
Meng Shaoyuan put down his wine glass and said: "The defense work in Manila will be relatively easy. You take advantage of this moment and I will cover you to leave."
Xie Changcheng and Meng Zhejun looked at each other: "Brother, we are not leaving this time."
Seeing Meng Shaoyuan frown, Xie Changcheng immediately said: "Brother, I know what you are going to say, but you really need people in Manila.
When we left before, Brother Shang Heng always looked worried. Do you know what he said? "
Meng Zhejun continued speaking helpfully: "Brother Shang Heng said that when you were in China before, we were not with you, but now you have finally come to the Philippines, and you are still in Manila alone.
Brother, do you know why we were able to enter Manila so quickly? In fact, this was also arranged by Brother Shang Heng. He said, you may need someone here, so let us be active nearby. Once you are called, or something happens in Manila, we can reinforce you in time. "
Meng Shaoyuan said in his heart that he was not happy, but that was a lie.
When we were forming the Young Avengers, we immediately spotted Shang Heng to lead the team.
These people are orphans, and I rescued them.
Moreover, they have all undergone the most rigorous training and testing.
In their hearts, there is only one person:
Meng Shaoyuan!
"Stay."
Li Zhifeng actually spoke for them: "Boss, to be honest, we are seriously short of manpower in Manila now. It's just you, me, Tian Qi, and Tian Qi always has special tasks. When it comes time to hire people, It’s too late to transfer people.”
Meng Shaoyuan said "hmm":
"Then stay."
Before Xie Changcheng and Meng Zhejun had time to be happy, Meng Shaoyuan said again: "You should continue to command the 'Manila Resistance Army' as Kanger and Gowers.
Now, Iwabuchi has handed over the security forces to me three times, and you can operate openly. "
After being ordered to take over Manila, Meng Shaoyuan also specifically mentioned the "Manila Resistance Army" to Iwabuchi three times.
It seems that this unit is necessary to stay.
The key to controlling the resistance is to control their leader.
Iwabuchi also agreed to this suggestion three times.
After all, he is currently severely short of manpower and will never let go of anyone who can join Manila's defense.
"Those who resisted the Army have actually surrendered and are not worthy of trust."
Meng Shaoyuan was pondering there, seeming to be thinking about something. After a while, he said:
"But if we can make good use of them, they can play a special role in Manila!"
