Chapter 3236 My Doubts
Meng Shaoyuan!
This name was deeply imprinted on Iwabuchi Sanji's mind.
Public enemy of Japan, the most powerful agent on the surface?
Iwabuchi curled his lips in disdain three times.
That's the incompetence of those people.
If this man were in Manila, I would definitely not let him do whatever he wants!
"Okay, Seijiro, the past is in the past."
Iwabuchi spoke three times and said: "Now that you have arrived in Manila, I think it is probably the arrangement of Amaterasu that allows us to fight side by side again.
My army still lacks a chief of staff, Seijiro, please take up this position."
"Okay." Seijiro agreed immediately: "We can finally fight together. Kikumonro, tell me about the current situation in Manila."
Iwabuchi said it carefully three times.
Fujikura Seijiro also listened very carefully.
Gradually, he frowned.
After Iwabuchi finished speaking for the third time, he pondered and said: "Kikumonro, the security force, two important commanders died in a row, and they both happened before the war. Is there something abnormal?"
Abnormal place?
Iwabuchi thought for the third time: "Seijiro, have you been doing intelligence work for a long time?"
"No, no." Seijiro frowned: "Before any war breaks out, any abnormality that occurs can be assumed to be a hostile act by the enemy.
Kikumonro, the security force is an extremely important component in the defense of Manila. Why do things happen one after another?
That person named Shibu Taniguchi, I heard that you trust him very much, but do you really know this person?"
"What do you mean?" Iwabuchi frowned slightly three times: "Are you doubting him?"
"I didn't say that." Seijiro said calmly: "I just think that he is the biggest beneficiary after the deaths of Shimada Kazuhiro and Nakahama Matsutomi."
"Seijiro, you asked me just now if I know this person. I can tell you responsibly that I know him very well." Iwabuchi said slowly three times: "He is the person that Mr. Shintani admires the most."
"Which Mr. Shintani?"
"Takuma Shintani."
"Oh, it's Shintani-senpai."
Although one is from the Navy and the other is from the Army, Seijiro Fujikura still admires this senior in the intelligence community very much.
"Yes." Iwabuchi said three times: "Whether before that or when His Excellency Shintani left Manila, he solemnly recommended Shibuya Taniguchi to me. Not only that, he is also a close confidant of Prince Hendoku."
"Wait a minute." Seijiro interrupted the other party: "What's the relationship between Shibu Taniguchi and Prince Tsunede?"
"He was sent to Manila by His Excellency the Prince to handle special supplies."
"From the Mountain Lily Club?"
"Yes."
"Interesting, then it's really interesting." Seijiro murmured: "He is from the Yamayuri Club, arrived in the Philippines, and then turned into the commander of the security forces?"
"No, it didn't happen suddenly." Iwabuchi corrected him three times: "Previously, after completing the mission of the Yamayuri Society, he became the acting chief of the Manila secret service."
"What?" Seijiro's interest became more and more intense: "Can you tell me more about the process?"
"This happened when Masaharu Honma was the commander in Manila. I don't know it specifically. I only know a rough idea."
When the actor finished speaking for the third time, a smile appeared on Seijiro's face: "Don't you find it interesting, Kikumonro! Two important figures in the security force died, and Shibu Taniguchi successfully became the commander.
Before that, two important figures in the Manila secret service also died for treason. Why is it such a coincidence? Why are the powerful figures in these two departments dead, and then the ultimate profiteer is this
Where’s Shibu Taniguchi?”
"Maybe it's a coincidence, maybe it's a peculiarity." Iwabuchi didn't find it strange three times: "According to the information I have, the two guys from the secret service stole gold on a large scale and were eventually discovered.
Their arrest was proposed by Takuma Shintani and approved by Masaharu Honma. Is there any problem here?
Seijiro, everyone in Manila is in danger, and it is not unusual for someone to become a thief or even become a traitor. When a disaster is imminent, everyone will have their own thoughts in their hearts."
"I don't know, I don't know." Seijiro did not answer directly: "I just think it is too coincidental. In intelligence work, there may be problems in things that are too coincidental.
Takuma Shintani? Is Shibuya Taniguchi his confidant? Does Takuma Shintani take great care of him? One is from the Yamayuri Club, and the other has been engaged in intelligence work for a long time. Why are they so close?"
Iwabuchi was startled three times: "Do you still doubt Takuma Shintani?"
"Don't forget, we have learned lessons from Tanishigehara." Seijiro emphasized: "Before, who would have thought that such a thing would happen to Tanishigehara. Haven't we learned enough lessons?
Kikumonro, we must suspect anyone, anything can happen before his suspicion is lifted."
Three times Iwabuchi felt that his best friend had changed.
In the past, he was so optimistic and humorous, and always full of enthusiasm for everyone.
But what now?
He doesn't trust anyone, even someone he has never met!
This kind of paranoia will take a toll on morale.
Iwabuchi said seriously three times: "Seijiro, I can tell you responsibly that Shibu Taniguchi is an excellent and responsible imperial officer.
After I became the commander of Manila, he gave me a lot of help and helped me put down the rebellion of the security forces. I have no reason to distrust him.
Currently, he is in control of the security forces, and has made this Red Deer unit, which once opposed us, completely obey my command."
"Ah, is that so?" Seijiro said calmly, "I just look at a stranger with suspicion. I have no other purpose."
After saying that, he looked at Iwabuchi three times: "Kimon-san, you are my best friend. I have always dreamed of fighting side by side with you one day, and now this opportunity has finally come.
As the top commander of Manila, you have a heavy responsibility, and I must help you. I know that our chances of holding Manila are slim, but I am willing to fight with you.
It's just that I don't want a dagger to appear behind our backs when the war reaches a critical stage. If that happens, I'm willing to help you block the dagger!"
He showed his true feelings completely there.
At this moment, Iwabuchi was moved three times, as if he had returned to their boyhood again:
Chapter completed!
