Meng Shaoyuan put down the things in his hands: "Your Excellency, Commander, the delivery is still quite large."

"Oh, what is it?" Iwabuchi asked three times with interest.

"When we were setting up defenses, we found a basement." Meng Shaoyuan said with a smile: "We found a lot of food, wine and cigarettes inside, so I brought some for you."

"Ah, that's great."

Iwabuchi picked up a pack of cigarettes three times, put it under his nose and smelled it: "I haven't had any cigars for a long time, and I don't even have many ordinary cigarettes anymore. I am worried. Mr. Taniguchi, you are really timely."

"

Meng Shaoyuan smiled: "Your Majesty Commander, you are so anxious to find me, what happened?"

"Taniguchi-kun, I have something difficult and I would like to ask your help."

"Your Excellency, Commander, you are too kind. Please tell me if I can help you."

"I want to ask you to borrow some money."

"Borrow money?"

This time, even Meng Shaoyuan stayed there.

You thought something was wrong, but it turned out to be a loan?

Regardless of how much you borrow, the question is, what is the use of money in Manila now?

Materials are completely cut off. With money, what can you buy?

"Well, there are some special reasons." Iwabuchi explained three times: "I am the commander, and I have no money. Moreover, after Commander Yamashita issued an order not to defend Manila, all our material supplies were cut off.

But it happened that at this time, someone came to me and asked me for a sum of money. Where can I get it? I thought that you were in charge of the Mountain Lily Club before, so you might be able to find a way."

Someone asked Iwabuchi three times for money?

Meng Shaoyuan suddenly had an idea: "Is it Fujikura Seijiro?"

Seeing Yanyuan being silent three times, Meng Shaoyuan knew that he had guessed correctly:

"Your Majesty Commander, recently, I discovered that someone is following me. In the whole of Manila, I am afraid that only Your Majesty the Chief of Staff would do this, right?

I don’t know where I offended the Chief of Staff, but since he did it, I have no right to stop him.”

Iwabuchi knew for the third time that he could no longer remain silent: "Yes, I'm also very curious as to why he targeted you so much, and now he can't even listen to my persuasion."

At this time, Meng Shaoyuan felt clear in his heart: "I understand, he wants to recruit a group of people to better monitor me?"

Speaking of this, he couldn't help but laugh: "Your Majesty Commander, don't you think this is funny? I pay, and then let the other party monitor me?"

This is not funny, this is mentally ill.

Iwabuchi also felt that his request was extremely ridiculous three times.

But in the short term, he really has no way to get money.

Moreover, it must be US dollars, pounds, or gold!

However, Meng Shaoyuan suddenly said: "I do."

"What?"

Iwabuchi was startled three times.

Originally, he and Meng Shaoyuan had no choice but to make requests.

The other party flatly refused, so it was already being cleaned up.

But now, he actually said "I do"?

Meng Shaoyuan said calmly: "I am not a fool, and I will not do such stupid things. The reason why I agreed is just because of your Excellency, Commander.

I know that Your Excellency the Commander and the Chief of Staff have been good friends since childhood. Since a good friend has made a request to you and put you in a difficult situation, I will definitely help without hesitation, even if it seems that I am too stupid."

Iwabuchi was really moved three times.

He never dreamed that the other party would agree to such an unreasonable request.

"I'm really stupid." Meng Shaoyuan smiled bitterly: "But there is no way, now is a special period, I think all your energy should be put on how to defend Manila, instead of being distracted by other things

."

Compared with Fujikura Seijiro, Taniguchi-kun is the one who truly does his best.

Seijiro made an inexplicable request to himself, and he had to do it.

But what about Taniguchi-kun? He is so generous and careless about his own gains and losses.

Meng Shaoyuan continued: "Besides, it would be good for me if the chief of staff could prove my innocence."

"You have been wronged, Taniguchi-kun." Iwabuchi couldn't help but say three times: "I tried to persuade Fujikura, but there was no way. He has always been a stubborn person."

"I really don't care at all." Meng Shaoyuan said seriously: "My personal honor and disgrace are nothing, but what I am really worried about is the mentality of the chief of staff."

"Oh, really?" Iwabuchi immediately paid attention for the third time: "Did he say anything or do anything?"

"Originally, I shouldn't have said these words." Meng Shaoyuan said calmly: "But in order to win the battle to defend Manila, there are some things that I must say even if I shouldn't say them.

I once talked with the chief of staff, and he seemed to have no confidence at all whether he could successfully defend Manila."

…

"Do you want to hear the truth, Mr. Taniguchi? If you want to hear the truth, I don't think Manila can be defended. All we can do is do our best and be prepared to destroy His Majesty the Emperor."

…

This is what Seijiro Fujikura said to Meng Shaoyuan himself that day, and almost every word is correct!

Iwabuchi's brows knitted together three times.

If Meng Shaoyuan had said this when Seijiro Fujikura had just arrived in Manila, Iwabuchi would have thought that he was deliberately stirring up trouble.

But just now, Meng Shaoyuan had shown his selflessness.

He is even willing to provide funds to investigate himself.

Moreover, more importantly, not long ago, Fujikura Seijiro also expressed his lack of confidence in defending Manila.

"This is a wavering on the morale of the military, especially when he is the new chief of staff." Meng Shaoyuan said worriedly: "Under the command of the commander, everyone is working hard, but the chief of staff said such inappropriate words. This is really

Makes me full of worry.

Your Excellency, Commander, you and the Chief of Staff are good friends. I hope you can persuade him. Even if he really has other thoughts in his heart, please don't express them publicly. This will seriously shake the morale of the military."

Iwabuchi San's heart was already very dissatisfied.

Especially in comparison with Shibu Taniguchi.

One has no selfish intentions, but what about the other?

"Perhaps, he has other ideas." Meng Shaoyuan said to himself there: "I heard that the chief of staff worked in Shanghai, and he seemed to be very dissatisfied. Until now, he is still just a center-left.

This time, when he came to Manila, with the full support of the Commander, he wanted to make some achievements. If it can be proven that I am a spy, that Meng Shaoyuan, it will be a bright future for him, right?"

Really? Maybe, Seijiro really has such an idea?
