The atmosphere in the headquarters was extremely solemn.

No one expected that riots would occur in Manila.

This also made Iwabuchi shameless three times.

This had never happened when Masaharu Honma was in power.

But after he took over, something like this actually 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 riot, leaving no one behind!"

Now, it's not just Binondo.

After the riots among the overseas Chinese in Binondo, 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 clearly."

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!" Serianji Zhen said loudly, feeling that he had been humiliated: "Please allow me to personally lead the team to suppress it, Commander-in-Chief!"

"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, and the three lines of defense they have established explain everything very well.

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 40s and 50s, and they are used to risk their lives. Here, we will definitely encounter a strong resistance.

Although these common people cannot cause us real damage, they will still cause us a lot of trouble. Then there is the last line of defense.

All the young people in Binongduo have been concentrated here. These strong young people have a certain degree of resistance. What is even more troublesome is that a large amount of explosives are piled up in the Lin family ancestral hall."

"So what." Xilien Temple didn't care at all: "Even if the imperial soldiers suffer certain losses, we must still completely suppress this uprising against the empire!"

"Of course, suppression 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 riots, but in Binondo, the riots involving tens of thousands of people had a huge impact.

If the riots cannot be quelled in a short period of time, the consequences will be extremely bad. Moreover, this will trigger a series of chain reactions. Moreover, this reaction has already begun to appear.

Currently, many large and small riots have occurred in various parts of Manila, and I think this is inseparable from the Binondo riots."

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 long it will take to suppress the Binondo riot 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!

The riot in Binondo has certain special characteristics. I believe that there was no preparation before, so it has not reached the point of being out of control. I suggest that we send people to negotiate with them immediately."

"What, negotiation?" Serienji stood up immediately: "Your Excellency Taniguchi, how can we negotiate with those bastards? An imperial soldier paid his precious life for this!"

"Calm down, Xilian." 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 riots, those people were also panicked inside. They would not think of dying with us until the last moment.

Therefore, negotiation is the last chance they have. We order them to hand over no less than ten murderers, and as punishment, let them all leave their current place of residence.

In this way, this incident can be put down quickly without delaying time or causing the imperial soldiers to suffer losses again!"

Meng Shaoyuan knew it all too well.

Binondo's riot, in which a Japanese soldier died, will inevitably lead to the craziest and bloodiest revenge from the Japanese army.

Binondo is bound to be 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 home 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 riot occurred in Manila. If it could not be put down quickly, he would not tolerate it.

Killing too many people will do nothing to defend Manila.

And "Taniguchi Shibuya"'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 the riots in Binondo cannot be quelled within one day, then I will send troops without hesitation to completely suppress them.

Sirian Temple, order the gendarmerie 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.
