Lost and Spy

Chapter 3055 Boarding list

The "Awa Maru" seems to have a fatal attraction, making every Japanese fanatical and crazy about it!

That is their only hope of survival!

What caused all this was the ever-changing situation on the battlefield.

Although the military deliberately blocked the information, there was still a lot of news that flowed into the ears of Japanese expatriates through various channels.

The war is becoming more and more unfavorable to Japan.

On the battlefield, the U.S. military is gradually gaining an advantage and expanding its results little by little!

On Wright Island, by the end of October, the main force of the Japanese 10th Division was basically wiped out.The reinforcements sent by the 16th Army were useless, and it seemed that Wright Island was about to be completely occupied by the US military.

However, the arrival of the rainy season at this time slowed down the advancing speed of the US military. The Japanese army took the opportunity to transport a large number of reinforcements to Wright Island through the port of Ormoc under the cover of aviation.

But what's the use of that?

In addition to the arrogant high-level Japanese army, the Japanese officers who were really on the front line, such as Yamashita Fengwen and others, already knew how bad the situation was.

The only thing they can do now is to do their best and count as much time as they can block.

As for victory?

At this point, who would have hoped for victory?

The same is true for Masaharu Honma, commander of the Tenth Army.

Perhaps in the near future, Manila will directly face the attack from the US military?

All he is concerned about now is how to defend Manila.As for other things?

Like the chaos in Manila?

Masaharu Honma had no time to ask.

The "Awa Maru" is about to arrive in Manila for the second time.

Originally, according to the plan, a large amount of materials and personnel were to be transported through this time.

However, due to the arrival of the rainy season in the Philippines, the U.S. military suspended its offensive, which also allowed the Japanese army to take the opportunity to transport more than 5 reinforcements to Wright Island.

Originally, because of the disastrous defeat in the Wright Gulf naval battle, the Japanese base camp no longer had much confidence in defending Wright Island, but seeing that the transportation was so smooth, it began to swell again and wanted to fight the US military.

On November 11, the 1st Division, which was originally an elite Kwantung Army, landed in Ormoc Port. On the 1rd, the vanguard of the 3st Division fought against the US military, and the two sides drew a tie.

This also made the Japanese base camp make even more wrong judgments. The combat effectiveness of the US military is nothing more than that!

They are confident in defending Wright Gulf and the Philippines!

The absolute command of the sea by the Allied Forces also made the Japanese high-level fear.

Driven by the mentality of wrongly judging that Wright Island can be guarded, in order to ensure safety and the smooth progress of the Battle of the Philippines, high-level Japanese officials issued secret orders.

In order to ensure the smooth progress of the Battle of Wright Island, the Allied naval activities were extremely frequent. In order to ensure safety, large-scale material transportation continued to be suspended.

At the same time, for the victory of the empire, the main military and political officials from all over the Philippines are not allowed to evacuate, and go all out to devote themselves to the defense of the Philippines!

At the time, there was nothing wrong with this order.

Only Meng Shaoyuan knew that this order would cause Japan to suffer the heaviest loss!

The Manila Office of the Investigation Bureau of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Japan is crowded with people inside and outside.

The military police shouted loudly to maintain order.

There was anxiety on everyone's face, fearing that they would not be able to get the boarding permit.

Outside, it was raining heavily.

The arrival of the rainy season in the Philippines has made the already disorderly Manila even more chaotic.

The line was long.

Some people didn't bring umbrellas, but even so, they didn't dare to take a step away, for fear of missing the opportunity.

Someone couldn't hold on anymore, and fell to the ground with a "plop".

They are quickly towed away.

The rest of the people simply turned a blind eye.

God knows if he will be the next one to fall?

Eguchi and Hiroshi have been transferred to work in the office.

There are not enough people here.

If possible, Eguchi and Hiroshi would like to sign a boarding permit for themselves.

"Ah, it's almost twelve o'clock."

Eguchi and Hiroshi looked at the time: "It's time to eat."

The Japanese who were about to line up behind immediately complained.

But facing the fierce eyes of the military police, they had no choice but to suppress their dissatisfaction.

"Eguchi-kun."

"Ah, it's Your Excellency Taniguchi." Seeing Meng Shaoyuan, Eguchi and Hiroshi immediately smiled: "Why, are you here again?"

"Yes, I'm here to treat you to dinner." Meng Shaoyuan also smiled all over his face: "I was worried that you had already eaten."

"Let's go, let's go together." Eguchi and Hiroshi greeted his four colleagues: "There is a new chef in the cafeteria, and the dishes are very good."

"Really?" Meng Shaoyuan was a little curious: "Can we still recruit chefs at this time?"

Jiangguchi and Hongshen said mysteriously: "This person, in order to obtain a boarding permit, offered to help us cook. Unexpectedly, his cooking is really good. I am completely reluctant to let him go."

His colleague suddenly burst into wanton laughter.

Meng Shaoyuan also laughed.

Isn't this chef full of food and nothing to do to show off his cooking skills? Isn't this forcing himself to stay?

……

Not to mention, that chef's cooking skills are really quite good.

Meng Shaoyuan was quite satisfied with his meal, and immediately he took out a stack of documents from his briefcase: "I will trouble Mr. Jiangguchi and you all with these."

No need to look, Eguchi and Hiroshi also knew that this was through the back door through a relationship to obtain a boarding permit.

The Japanese secret service and the gendarmerie will send a batch of lists every once in a while.

And the investigation bureau, all according to the approval.

Those who worked hard in the queue didn't know that during the time they waited hard, countless places had already been occupied by related households.

Meng Shaoyuan then handed the briefcase directly to Eguchi and Hiroshi.

Inside, it contained money.

And, instead of yen, it's all dollars and pounds, and some gold.

The funny thing is that now when the Japanese accept bribes, they are not even willing to accept yen.

Eguchi and Hiroshi and his colleagues were all smiles.

Since it is impossible to leave Manila for the time being, it is better to use the power in your hands to maximize the benefits.

"It always bothers you, Your Excellency Taniguchi." Eguchi Kazuhiro accepted the briefcase unceremoniously: "Are you free tonight? Let's have a good drink."

"Where is the time, there are a lot of things waiting for me to deal with." Meng Shaoyuan sighed: "When the busy work is over, come and have a good drink with Mr. Eguchi."

Every time, there are always some special characters in the boarding list brought by Meng Shaoyuan.

Many of them are on the list drawn up by Tian Qi.

Among them, there are spies arranged by the Allied forces, and there are Japanese who were successfully instigated by the Allied forces.

These people will follow the "Awa Maru" to Japan and continue their missions.

But Meng Shao took advantage of his special rights to send these people to Japan in batches, giving Japan a heavy blow!
