With the arrival of Iwabuchi three times, for his so-called fortress plan, Manila ushered in the darkest moment before the liberation.

A large number of wooden houses that were considered dangerous for defense were demolished.

Countless Filipinos have been evicted from their homes.

Then I watched the home that had lived in it for generations being demolished.

They cried and cried, but it didn't help.

The Japanese will not sympathize with any of their tears.

Meng Shaoyuan also took this opportunity to take action again.

The secret service and the gendarmerie also have a mission to find any building that can be used for defensive operations.

As long as there are qualified buildings, no matter who lives in them, even members of Manila's puppet government, they will be evicted.

These Filipinos, who did not hesitate to act as traitors to the Philippines in order to survive, finally encountered backlash from their masters.

They want to cry but have no tears.

But now, what else can they do?

Pasha Basharm had been a well-known local doctor before the arrival of the Japanese.

He studied in the United States, and after returning to the Philippines, he quickly became highly employed.

However, when Manila fell, he was the first to act as a Filipino traitor.

With his loyalty to his new master, he immediately gained favor from the Japanese.

When the puppet government in Manila was established, he immediately became the director of the Bureau of Health and Medicine.

And not only that, he also conspired with the Japanese consultant Migu Yu of the Medical Bureau to control the drug black market in Manila.

After the fall of the Philippines, cities have been facing shortages of medicines.

Therefore, this makes it difficult to obtain necessary drugs in regular hospitals, and you can only find them on the black market.

The Japanese authorities in Manila certainly knew about this, but mostly turned a blind eye.

It was not until later that the wife of a Japanese official was unable to get medicine even in the hospital, which made the Japanese official furious, that the Japanese authorities in Manila reluctantly took action.

The method they adopted was nothing more than to transfer Miguchi out of Manila.

Then they pretended to rectify the black market.

As for Pasha, such a Filipino, he was not punished in any way.

This is considered relatively rare.

After all, although Bashar was a traitor, he had superb medical skills and could diagnose and treat patients better than many Japanese.

The Japanese need his presence.

In particular, the commander at the time, Masaharu Honma, was full of praise for his medical skills.

So under the protection of Masaharu Honma, Bashar has always been able to sit back and relax.

But things are different now.

Masaharu Honma lost power, and the man in charge of the military and political power in Manila was the war madman Iwabuchi Sanji.

For Iwabuchi Sanji, no people and things are more important than defending Manila.

On this basis, everyone is expendable.

And this power was completely handed over to the gendarmerie and the secret service.

Ever since Li Zhifeng was infected with malaria, Meng Shaoyuan had actually set his sights on Bashar in order to obtain medicines for emergencies.

However, Bashar had the support of Masaharu Honma at that time, and Meng Shaoyuan was helpless against him for a while.

But it's different now.

Masaharu Honma is gone, and the successor is a madman who can't tolerate anything else except war!

Therefore, in this situation, Meng Shaoyuan knew that it was time for him to take action!

Early in the morning, there was a "bang bang bang" knock on the door, which made people's hearts tremble!

Since Masaharu Honma resigned, the entire puppet government in Manila and most of its functional departments have nothing to do.

Iwabuchi even ordered three times that all men under the age of fifty in various functional departments should be incorporated into the so-called "Philippine Government Army."

Therefore, in order to avoid serving as cannon fodder in future wars, most Filipinos in functional departments have chosen to leave their jobs.

But even so, they still can't escape the fate of being captured.

Bashar is fifty-one years old this year. Although he has exceeded Iwabuchi's recruitment line three times, he is still worried.

And now the Health Bureau has basically nothing to do, so Bashar simply stayed at home.

But so early in the morning, Japanese voices came from outside again, which had to make Bashar nervous.

As soon as I opened the door, several Japanese people barged in.

Moreover, the person in the lead, whom Pasha knew, was "Shibu Taniguchi", the chief of the Manila Intelligence Agency.

"Sir Taniguchi, why are you here?"

When he saw that he was not a soldier, Bashar felt somewhat relieved.

"Mr. Bashar."

Meng Shaoyuan said with a straight face: "I'm here to investigate some situations. I hope you can cooperate."

"Ah, yes, yes."

Bashar said quickly.

"During your cooperation with Meiya Jiuru, someone reported that you were stealing drugs and controlling the black market. What excuse do you have for this?"

As soon as Meng Shaoyuan opened his mouth, Bashar realized the real purpose of the other party's visit today: "Your Excellency Taniguchi, this is completely nonsense. This is the slander of those people against me. I can guarantee that this is absolutely not the case.

Commander Honma has also asked about this matter before, but after investigation, both Mr. Migu and I are innocent. I work loyally for the Japanese Empire, so it is inevitable that some people will be jealous."

"Really?" Meng Shaoyuan said coldly: "As the largest city in the Philippines, Americans have put a lot of effort into building this city here.

As the liberator of the Philippines, the Empire of Japan drove away the Americans for you. At that time, after taking over Manila, you were immediately appointed as the director of the Manila Health and Drug Bureau, with Miguchi as an advisor.

The first task for you and Megujiu is to quickly take over the hospitals and pharmacies in Manila. Before the Americans retreated, they left a large amount of medicines. However, after completely controlling the situation in the Philippines, we discovered that the medicines reported

The quantity is pitifully small, can you tell me what's going on?"

Before the Americans retreated, they paid more attention to weapons and equipment and distributed them in large quantities to the Philippine guerrillas.

But even so, a large number of weapons were still left behind.

With weapons like this, how can Americans have time to think about medicines?

Manila does have a large amount of medicine left by the Americans.

When Bashar and Meiya saw these medicines, they both had the same thought:

Make it your own!

When the two sides began to test each other, they found that they both had the same idea.

The two hit it off immediately.

Manila itself was in chaos at that time, and not many people knew how many medicines there were.

With just a few small steps, most of the medicines fell into the hands of Bashar and Miyajiuru.

With these drugs, the two men will soon be able to dominate the drug black market in Manila.
Chapter completed!
