"Yes!" Xiaoji Shaozuo cheered up: "The Chief of Staff suspects that Mr. Taniguchi has a problem. If it is out of public interest, there is no problem. We have the right to doubt anyone within the scope of our responsibilities. However, Mr. Taniguchi The contribution he made in Manila is obvious to all. I am not saying that he cannot be the subject of suspicion. What I mean is that the Chief of Staff did the wrong thing at the wrong time." Now that he has said it, there is nothing wrong with Mr. Koiso. You can worry about it: "As far as we know so far, Mr. Taniguchi is responsible for both the intelligence agency and the security force. He does his job with all his heart and has never made any mistakes. Moreover, what I admire most is the ten pieces he sent. A gold bar. Mr. Taniguchi knew that these gold bars were used to investigate him, but he still took them out without hesitation. That only shows one thing. He has a clear conscience and even eagerly hopes to launch an investigation into himself. ." This is roughly the same as what Iwabuchi thought three times.
But he still corrected his subordinates: "It's not about launching an investigation against him, but Taniguchi needs to clear his name as soon as possible!"
"Yes, Your Excellency, Commander." Xiaoji Shaozuo said: "At least, I haven't seen a person who can have such a clear conscience. As for Your Excellency, the Chief of Staff, I know that he is your good friend. But I still have to say it. Your Excellency Fujikura's duty is to assist you in defending Manila, but since he took office, he has never performed any of the duties of Chief of Staff! On the contrary, he is so obsessed with investigating an imperial hero. I told you before that there are some rumors out there that Mr. Fujikura has been captured in Lingayin Bay before."
"This is a rumor!" Iwabuchi interrupted his subordinates three times: "We must thoroughly investigate where this rumor came from!"
"It's hard to check." Iwabuchi had saved Koiso Shaozuo's life three times before, which also earned Koiso's infinite loyalty.
As for the understanding of loyalty, Xiaoji believes that it means being loyal and must tell the superior unconditionally no matter what: "If there were only sporadic voices before, but now this kind of statement is increasing rapidly, and more and more people know about it. . So far, the statements are basically the same. They all say that after His Excellency Fujikura was captured at Lingayin Bay, he quickly surrendered to the Americans. He returned to Manila this time for... some special purpose! "Everyone knows this
What does "special purpose" mean? Iwabuchi's face darkened for the third time. One person said it was not a big problem.
But once too many people talk about it, it will inevitably have a big impact. There is an old saying in China: Three people make a tiger!
Once more people say it, even those who didn’t believe it in the past will choose to believe it! This will not only have a serious impact on Fujikura Seijiro, but it will also have a huge impact on himself!
"This is an organized rumor, even specifically targeting Fujikura." Iwabuchi said coldly three times: "Check, we must find out where the source of this rumor is!" Check?
Where to check? Countless people are spreading this rumor! Iwabuchi suddenly asked three times: "Xiaoji, do you know the person 'Ike'?"
"Who?" Xiaoji Shaozuo was startled for a moment, then shook his head. Iwabuchi nodded three times and did not continue to ask any more questions.
If someone is deliberately spreading rumors there, then that person might be Shibu Taniguchi. After all, if it were him who was being investigated all the time, he would definitely fight back.
And spreading rumors is undoubtedly the best way. If this rumor was really spread by Shibu Taniguchi, then the latent spy sent by the Americans
"Ike" is the best way to push Fujikura Seijiro further into the abyss. As for this
"Ike", Taniguchi Shibu only reported it to himself, and he never told Koiso. Now, it has been confirmed from Mr. Oiso's mouth that Shibuya Taniguchi did not say
With the existence of "Ike", his suspicion can be eliminated.
"Please take a look at this telegram." Finally, Iwabuchi took out the telegram three times. Xiao Jishao Zuo took it over and looked at it, his expression gradually changed.
Iwabuchi asked calmly three times: "Is there anything you want to say?" Koiso Shaozuo mustered up his courage and said: "The authenticity of this telegram will be confirmed soon. If the US military's actions are finally proven, it will be completely According to what was said in the telegram, the value of this telegram suddenly became higher. At the same time, it can also prove that 'Ike' really exists. What we need to do is to find this Ike as soon as possible!" Meng Shaoyuan's Yang The role of conspiracy began to be demonstrated again.
The US military's course of military operations will soon be proven. The authenticity of the telegram will also be beyond dispute.
"Ike" is real. Oiso Shaozuo was able to discover this, and so was Iwabuchi three times: "Finding Ike is not our business, that is the intelligence agency's business. To be more precise, it is Taniguchi's responsibility."
"Your Excellency, Commander, at this time, Mr. Taniguchi has no way to do anything more." Koiso Shaozuo did not hide his true thoughts at all: "Since he became the commander of the security forces, almost all the manpower of the secret service has been , were arranged by him to various defense locations and became front-line combatants. As far as I know so far, the number of personnel he can use now is very few. He must shoulder all the tasks alone. More importantly, if He found out who 'Ike' was, could he have done more?"
"Why not?" Iwabuchi only said it three times, and suddenly he knew what his subordinates meant! He looked a little angry: "That's enough, Mr. Koiso, you are going too far. Seijiro is loyal to the empire. He will not betray the empire or me. Those who spread those rumors have ulterior motives." , completely slandering Seijiro."
"Maybe, Commander." Koiso Shaozuo still said: "If Mr. Fujikura is loyal, then I am equally loyal to you! At least, I will always follow you, and I am convinced that you will Lead us to victory in this war instead of spreading pessimistic thoughts everywhere!" Iwabuchi knew three times that what Koiso was talking about was still Seijiro.
Not only did Seijiro say it in front of him, Shibu Taniguchi also told him, and even Seijiro described how powerful the US military was in front of others.
This is completely spreading the pessimistic idea of failure, which will greatly shake the morale of the military. Even if Iwabuchi wanted to defend him three times, at this point, he didn't know how to defend Seijiro.
"It's time for me to have a good talk with him." Iwabuchi turned pale for the third time: "Seijiro is an upright person."
"But he used to be an intelligence officer. Do you think an intelligence officer can really be so upright?"
