Sure enough, just as Tian Qi had judged, Iwabuchi really decided to take action three times!

He called Nakahama Matsutomi directly.

During the phone call, Iwabuchi gave instructions three times. In order to strengthen the security forces after the assassinations of Shimata and Hiiro, he decided to send three officers to assist the command of Nakahama Matsutomi.

However, Nakahama Matsutomi flatly refused.

His reason is also very simple.

First of all, the commander of the security force, Shimata Kazuhiro, is still in the hospital for rescue. This kind of thing must have his order.

Then, Nakahama Matsutomi made it very clear that the security forces are affiliated with the army and are completely different combat units from the navy.

Rushing to dispatch officers under two different command systems will only cause chaos in the security forces!

The refusal was very straightforward and reasonable, but it made Iwabuchi more determined on the issue of Nakahama Matsutomi three times.

"It's all up to your judgment, Taniguchi-kun." Shima Iwabuchi picked up the last of the cigars Meng Shaoyuan gave him three times, put it under his nose and smelled:

"Then, we can only prepare for the worst. By the way, does the person you sent next to Nakahama Matsutomi have any information?"

"Commander, are you talking about Hahara Ikko?" Meng Shaoyuan said: "I have contacted him, and Nakahama Matsutomi has strengthened the security of the defense area. Now, everyone will not be allowed to enter or exit without his order.

At the same time, those members of the rebel organization were also secretly transferred by him, and their specific locations are still under further investigation."

"Perhaps, he is going to take action." Iwabuchi put down the cigar in his hand three times: "Rebellion must never happen. Even if it is really unavoidable, the impact must be controlled to the minimum range.

Give Nakahama Matsutomi one last chance, call him, hold an emergency meeting, and ask him to attend immediately!"

…

Nakahama Matsutomi put down the phone and his eyes fell on Tian Qi: "Iwabuchi called me three times just now, asking me to go to the headquarters immediately to hold an emergency meeting."

"What do you think?" Tian Qi did not say anything directly: "Do you think we should go?"

At this time, Nakahama Matsutomi was panicking inside.

When a person has a ghost in his heart, no matter what he looks at, he will feel that it is a conspiracy against him.

"I'm worried that if I go there, I'll never come back."

After a while, Nakahama Tomicai said: "Not long after the emergency meeting was held, it is going to be held again, and it happens to be at this time. I am convinced that there must be a problem."

"That's right, Nakahama-kun." Tian Qi sighed and said, "Don't go, you have more important things to do."

Tian Qi’s words gave Nakahama Matsutomi great encouragement:

"No one can question my loyalty to the Empire and His Majesty the Emperor, and no one can wrong me. I will never sit still and wait to be killed."

At this moment, a sergeant from the security force hurriedly walked in: "Your Majesty, Section Chief, some armed men were found near our defense area."

"Armed men?"

Nakahama Matsutomi was startled for a moment, then realized what he was doing.

Throughout Manila, the only armed personnel, except for its own security forces, are the Marine Corps.

Was Iwabuchi preparing to do something to him three times?

"You can make preparations, Nakahama-kun." Tian Qi reminded on the side: "We will not betray the empire, but we cannot let those despicable people succeed!"

"Yes, that's it!" Nakahama Matsutomi also made up his mind at this moment: "I will prove my loyalty. Order all personnel to enter combat positions.

Stop any unknown person who wants to enter my defense area, but without my order, no shots are allowed unless the opponent forces a forceful attack!"

"Hai!"

Nakahama Matsutomi still left himself a way out.

Once you take the shot, there is really no turning back.

And this is the result that Nakahama Matsutomi least wants to see.

"Hopefully, we can get through this time safely." Nakahama Matsutomi said in a daze.

"Yes, yes." Tian Qi also agreed.

But an imperceptible smile flashed across the corner of his mouth.

…

"Report, combatants have begun entering the Zhongbin Defense Area and setting up weapons!"

Iwabuchi was not too surprised by this report for the third time. It seemed that everything had been planned by him.

"After all, it's better to avoid it, Taniguchi-kun."

Iwabuchi sighed three times: "The thing I least want to see is going to happen."

"You have done your best, Commander."

Meng Shaoyuan also said calmly: "But I still hope to fight for it one last time. After all, Nakahama Matsutomi is an officer of the empire."

"You are a good person, Taniguchi-kun." Iwabuchi felt helpless for the third time: "But we have done everything we can, but Nakahama Matsutomi gave up, and there is nothing we can do.

The only thing we can do now is to minimize the loss and impact and only target Nakahama Tsutomi."

Someone sent Meng Shaoyuan a piece of information.

Meng Shaoyuan opened it and looked at it, then said: "Your Excellency, Commander, Ikko Hahara just sent out information that the Nakahama defense area has completed combat preparations. At the same time, it is basically confirmed that those rebels are well-connected with Nakahama."

"Really?" Iwabuchi frowned three times: "Be more specific."

Meng Shaoyuan said: "After entering Manila, the rebels led by Kanger and Gals quickly received support from Nakahama Matsutomi and arranged for them to hide in a secret location.

At the same time, Nakahama Matsutomi provided them with weapons and ammunition. Currently, there are at least more than fifty rebels in Manila.

After Shimado and Hiiro were assassinated, all these armed personnel disappeared and their current whereabouts are unknown."

"Is he really preparing to rebel?" Iwabuchi said viciously three times: "Is he still worthy of being an officer of the empire?"

"In the face of a disaster, everyone will make their own choice." Meng Shaoyuan said calmly: "If he wants to live, it's that simple."

"Does he want to live?" Iwabuchi sneered three times: "To live in shame like a dog? No, the empire does not have such an officer! Shibu Taniguchi!"

"arrive!"

"I order you to command the troops and surround the Nakahama defense area." Iwabuchi made the final decision three times: "Nakahama Matsutomi must be captured in the shortest possible time. However, it is best if there is no battle."

After all, those are soldiers of the empire, the effective force that defends Manila. Taniguchi-kun, I believe you will find a way."

The other party put forward very harsh conditions.

But it seems that Meng Shaoyuan doesn't care at all: "I will do my best, Commander, and I promise that if there is any situation, I will report to you as soon as possible."

This is also where Iwabuchi trusted Meng Shaoyuan three times:
Chapter completed!
