"Okay, actually it's nothing. Your Excellency the Chief of Staff is just a stubborn person."

Meng Shaoyuan probably saw something, and in turn comforted Iwayuan three times: "Your Excellency, Commander, you are good friends. Good friends should support and encourage each other."

Yeah?

I hope so.

Iwabuchi smiled bitterly in his heart three times.

"Okay, now that you've finished talking to me, it's my turn."

Meng Shaoyuan changed the subject: "We have just intercepted a telegram and are working hard to decipher it. Your Excellency, Commander, this is the intelligence."

He put the telegram on his desk.

Iwabuchi picked it up and looked at it three times, with mixed feelings.

This telegram still has a lot to do with him.

The telegram was sent to a spy codenamed "Ike" lurking in Manila.

The telegram clearly told "Ike" that the 14th U.S. Army was rapidly advancing toward Clark Airport. At the same time, the U.S. Army would also land west of Clark Airport to block the retreat route of the Manila-killed enemies to the Bataan Peninsula.

This means that the last escape route for the Japanese troops in Manila will soon be completely blocked.

Although Iwabuchi had made all preparations three times, I still felt a little sad when I saw this telegram.

This means that he and the Marine Corps can only fight to the death here!

Of course, there is one more thing.

Iwabuchi had just received news from the front a few hours ago.

Yamashita Fengwen ordered the "Jianwu Group" to dispatch a tank brigade to block the attack, and successfully repelled the U.S. vanguard.

A few hours later, "Shibu Taniguchi" provided himself with a brand-new piece of information.

If this intelligence on the movements of the US military is proven correct in a few days, then Shibu Taniguchi's intelligence work will obviously be outstanding and effective.

This time, Meng Shaoyuan did not use conspiracy, but used conspiracy!

The US military will definitely go all out to occupy Clark Airport and will definitely land west of the airport.

Manila's last escape route will definitely be blocked.

Because Meng Shaoyuan knew the general direction of the Battle of Luzon Island, a large-scale battle!

But the problem is, he knows it, but others don't.

Even the U.S. military fighting in the battle was not sure whether they would be able to land west of the airport before the battle of Clark Airport became clear!

A plan that even the "enemy" had not yet fully determined was informed of by "Shibu Taniguchi" in advance.

And it will be verified that this information is true in the near future. So, what will be Iwabuchi's mentality three times?

He will have full confidence in the working ability of Meng Shaoyuan and the intelligence agencies he commands.

After that, Iwabuchi would believe the information that Meng Shaoyuan continued to provide three times.

And this also paved the way for Meng Shaoyuan's subsequent series of plans.

Conspiracy is not terrible.

As long as you are good at observation, you can always find clues to the conspiracy.

But what about conspiracy?

Some conspiracies are unsolvable.

For example, the famous "Golden Sword Strategy".

Meng Shaoyuan used conspiracy this time!

"If the intelligence is correct, looking on the bright side, we can still buy ourselves some time."

Iwabuchi told the truth three times.

After all, the U.S. military will continue to fight the "Jianwu Group" at Clark Airport for some time.

Using this time, Iwabuchi was confident three times to continue to reinforce Manila.

"Has the identity of this 'Ike' been verified?"

In the telegram, the US military clearly requested "Ike" to quickly provide all information on Manila's defense, including that of the Marine Corps and security forces.

Even more detailed is the number of explosive sites deployed by the Japanese army in Manila.

At the end of the telegram, "Ike" was asked to find ways to disrupt the deployment of the Japanese army, cause chaos within the Japanese army, and create a favorable opportunity for the US military to quickly seize Manila.

"Not yet." Meng Shaoyuan said: "Before this, we did not know the existence of this spy 'Ike'. It can even be said that Ike only surfaced recently, more accurately, with this telegram.

water surface.

We are stepping up the investigation and it will be difficult, but Commander, please rest assured that no matter how difficult it is, I will find out the true identity of Ike!"

Ike?

Appeared recently?

Iwabuchi's brows knitted together three times.

Some thoughts just passed through his mind.

He didn't want to think about it at all.

Even, his brain instinctively adopted the method of cutting off these thoughts.

"Well, thank you for your hard work, Taniguchi-kun."

Iwabuchi cheered up three times: "Try your best to do what you should do, and I will fully cooperate with you."

"Hai, then, Commander, I will take my leave now."

"Shibu Taniguchi" did not break his promise, and in the afternoon of the same day, ten gold bars were delivered to Iwabuchi San's headquarters.

Where did these gold bars come from? Iwabuchi Sanji didn't even want to ask.

In extraordinary times, everyone has extraordinary means to do things.

The premise is that as long as you are loyal to yourself, you can be effective in defending Manila.

He quickly ordered Oiso Shaozuo to deliver these gold bars to Fujikura Seijiro.

I originally thought that I had satisfied Fujikura Seijiro's request in such a short period of time, and the other party should at least give me a phone call to express his gratitude.

However, until Xiaoji Shaozuo came back, he did not wait for a call from his good friend.

"All the gold bars have been sent to the Chief of Staff."

After Koiso Shaozuo finished his report, Iwabuchi asked three times: "Is the Chief of Staff here?"

"Yes, yes." Koiso Shaozuo replied: "He is studying something with Kenji Maemoto."

"Kenji Maemoto?"

"Yes, I used to be in the naval intelligence department. Later, due to certain things, I was transferred to the frontline combat force."

Iwabuchi couldn't help but shook his head three times.

Does this count as birds of a feather flock together?

Have the same "experience" as Seijiro?

"What did the Chief of Staff say?"

"No." Xiaoji Shaozuo said: "The Chief of Staff asked me to put down the gold, so he let me leave. His attitude was a little cold, and..."

"explain."

"And it seems that the Chief of Staff doesn't want me to hear what he and Kenji Maemoto are discussing." Koiso replied: "Originally, according to your request, I wanted to bring your words to the Chief of Staff.

, but the other party didn’t give me a chance to speak.”

Iwabuchi smiled bitterly three times.

In such an emergency period, I have fulfilled two of Seijiro's requirements, and they are very difficult to fulfill at present.

You can always get a "thank you" in exchange, right?

But I was completely wrong.

Does Seijiro really think that he should do these things for him as a matter of course?

Even if they are good friends, they shouldn't have such an attitude.

"Your Excellency, Commander, there are some things I don't know whether to say or not."
