Chapter 3123 Number Two Person
"According to accurate intelligence, the Americans have turned against the Philippine guerrillas and launched a massacre!"
At the meeting, Takuma Shintani looked gloomy: "Everyone, do you think this is a good thing for us?"
"Yes." The first person to speak was the Chief of the Special High School Section of the Military Police, Shirenji Zhen: "Previously, with the support of the Americans, although the Philippine guerrillas were not very effective in combat, they frequently harassed us.
Feeling physically and mentally exhausted, we had to deploy a large number of troops and set up defenses everywhere, which greatly dispersed our strength.
And now, since the Americans and Filipinos have turned against each other, a large number of Filipino guerrilla commanders and members have been killed, quickly weakening their strength. This is of great benefit to the empire but no harm. Philippine guerrillas
After being hit hard this time, I am sure that they all lost their combat effectiveness for a long time."
"Yeah?"
Takuma Shintani just said this, and then he turned his attention to Meng Shaoyuan: "Taniguchi-kun, what do you think?"
Meng Shaoyuan was silent for a while and said, "I'm very worried."
Worried?
What to worry about?
Several people in the conference room were at a loss.
Meng Shaoyuan said slowly: "On the surface, it seems that the strength of the guerrillas has indeed been weakened. However, you may not have noticed a problem.
Previously, Philippine guerrillas were roughly divided into three types: guerrillas commanded by Americans and composed entirely of Americans; guerrillas composed of Filipinos themselves; and guerrillas commanded by Americans and mixed with Filipinos.
Although these three types of guerrillas are allies with each other, their cooperation is limited and intelligence cannot be fully shared. Therefore, their combat effectiveness is weak and they cannot pose a substantial threat to us.
There was no shortage of such precedents in the past. The Empire's transport team was attacked, and the guerrillas' allies who were close to Chichi were unable to provide reinforcements. However, the Empire's reinforcements who were farther away arrived on the battlefield in advance to avoid
caused greater losses.
But now, as the US military commanders have basically controlled the guerrillas active throughout the Philippines, they have a unified communication system and a unified command system, and their combat effectiveness has been greatly improved!"
As soon as he said these words, everyone suddenly realized.
Dispersed power is incomparable to a combined fist.
"Shibu Taniguchi saw the essence of the matter." At this time, Takuma Shintani said: "The concentrated power is the most terrifying thing.
In order to completely control the guerrillas, the Americans did everything possible and even mobilized the power of public opinion to wantonly smear the top leaders of the Free Philippines.
Now that their goal has been achieved, I have a hunch that in the near future, Americans will command guerrillas from various places to carry out a major riot to consolidate the rights they have obtained!"
"There's something even scarier."
Meng Shaoyuan sighed: "Before, the Americans had always supported the guerrillas because they needed the existence of the guerrillas. But now they choose to take action and unscrupulously kill Filipino commanders. This only shows one point."
He looked around at the crowd and said slowly: "The Americans no longer need these guerrillas. On the contrary, the existence of the guerrillas will only harm the future interests of the Americans!"
There was silence in the conference room.
Americans no longer need these guerrillas.
The Americans already know that they have enough strength to occupy the Philippines and no longer need the assistance of these locals!
This was a heavy blow to the hearts of all Japanese people!
"Yeah yeah."
Takuma Shintani looked worried: "What Shibu Taniguchi said is exactly what worries me the most. Everyone, be prepared for battle."
After speaking, he cheered up: "I have just received information that Lava, the leader of the Free Philippines, fled before the massacre by the Americans began.
And his so-called close comrade-in-arms, the number two man in the Free Philippines, Manny, is also on the run, and, according to reliable intelligence, Manny has already absconded into Manila!"
"Manila?" Serianji Zhenyi was startled: "How dare he come to Manila?"
"Why not? Now in comparison, Manila is the safest for Manny." Takuma Shintani said coldly: "After the Americans fully seized power, except for several major cities in the Philippines, guerrillas were everywhere.
The place is powerful.
But no matter how arrogant the Americans were, they would never dare to enter Manila. Moreover, before becoming a rioter, Manny lived in Manila and was born into a big family in Manila.
After he became a rioter, in order to win over him, we did not touch his family for the time being. Instead, we gave them comfort and even gave them official positions to help the empire and govern Manila together.
Manny is as panic-stricken as a bereaved dog now. His heart at this moment should also be full of despair about the future. Therefore, he is very likely to contact his family. I order!"
Everyone stood up.
Takuma Shintani's voice was cold: "Conduct comprehensive surveillance on the Manny family. Once he appears, he will be secretly arrested immediately, but he is not allowed to be harmed. This person is of great use to the empire and is an excellent weapon for us to use against the Americans.
!”
"Hai!"
"Perform the mission immediately and adjourn the meeting! Shibuya Taniguchi, please stay alone for a while."
Meng Shaoyuan followed Takuma Shintani back to his office.
After closing the door, Takuma Shintani asked: "What do you think?"
What do you think?
How can I see it?
Meng Shaoyuan thought for a while and said: "Senior, what you mean is that Manny is as useful to the Japanese as it is to us?"
"Yes, Manny cannot fall into the hands of the Americans, and he cannot fall into the hands of the Japanese!" Takuma Shintani said without any concealment:
"As the number two figure in the free Philippines, this man has extraordinary political influence. Judging from the current situation, it is inevitable for Americans to return to the Philippines.
I said, I don't care whether they are Japanese or Americans. What I consider is only our interests and the interests of our country.
Although a Manny cannot change the future situation, it can at least make Americans unable to rule the Philippines with peace of mind, and it can reveal to a certain extent that Americans are not actually good people!"
Meng Shaoyuan was really impressed with his admiration.
He knows the future direction, but Takuma Shintani does not.
He only made such a judgment based on his rich experience and keen sense of the situation.
"I understand, senior." Meng Shaoyuan said immediately: "Don't worry, I will find Manny before the Japanese and hide him safely. When he should play his role, I will let him appear."
