"I just attended the joint army and navy meeting organized by His Excellency Admiral Yamashita!"

In the conference room, Iwabuchi looked grim three times: "The general's intention is to make Manila an undefended city!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at each other.

Undefended city?

That means all the previous efforts were in vain.

"But I will never allow such a thing to happen!"

Iwabuchi suddenly said three times: "I decided to continue to defend Manila!"

His decision was not surprising at all.

Previously, Masaharu Honma was responsible for all the defense of Manila.

But Masaharu Honma is obviously disappointing.

In the end, after fierce debates between the Japanese army and navy, Iwabuchi succeeded Honma Masaharu three times.

The origin of Iwabuchi Sanji is rather complicated.

His family, starting from his ancestors, all served in the Japanese Army.

But Iwabuchi ended up becoming a marine three times.

This also made the Iwabuchi family very dissatisfied.

After being promoted all the way to major general, Iwabuchi commanded the Marine Corps three times.

After Japan occupied the Philippines, 17,000 marines commanded by Iwabuchi three times were ordered to station in the Philippines and were temporarily under the command of General Yamashita Nobumi.

There would have been no problem if Yamashita took the title of commander-in-chief and unified command of the army and navy.

The bad thing lies in the irreconcilable contradiction between the Japanese army and navy.

The Japanese navy is commanded by the army. This is a very rare thing, but it happened to Iwabuchi three times.

It is said that this is the result of the Iwabuchi family working behind the scenes.

Therefore, the senior Japanese Navy general said with disdain that Iwabuchi was an "Army Red Deer" wearing the skin of the Imperial Navy three times!

Iwabuchi himself did the same thing three times.

He is indeed a naval general, but due to family reasons, he himself is more inclined towards the army.

Moreover, he has always been in command of the Marine Corps, and perhaps deep down in his heart, he also regards himself as the Army.

Therefore, after Tamazun's attack failed, Takuma Shintani suggested shifting the responsibility to the navy, and unexpectedly got Iwabuchi's acquiescence three times.

Regarding the candidate to succeed Masaharu Honma, Iwabuchi became the candidate recognized by both the army and navy three times.

As for the army, Yamashita Fengfumi had his own calculations.

He did not think Manila could be defended, and had no intention of defending Manila.

But for giving up the largest city in the Philippines so easily, what if someone is held accountable in the future?

Naturally, the responsibility can be shifted to Iwabuchi Sanji.

He is a naval admiral!

What about the Navy?

From the bottom of their hearts, they never considered Iwabuchi San as one of their own.

If Manila can be defended, it is a credit to the navy.

Can't hold on?

Naturally, Iwabuchi must take responsibility three times.

As for the 17,000 Marines, there was no way to withdraw them.

Then let them fight for the Empire together in Manila.

Therefore, from the moment the Japanese Army and Navy made their decision, the "Army Red Deer" Iwabuchi, who was born in the Navy, became the scapegoat jointly selected by both parties!

Of course Iwabuchi Sanshi knew it.

He was unwilling to end up in this situation.

Therefore, he also made up his mind to defend Manila!

If you keep it, you will become a hero of the empire.

If you can't hold it, then let everyone be "broken" here.

"The battle on Laite Island is not going well, and there is nothing to hide." Iwabuchi looked gloomy three times: "The US military will soon launch a campaign on Luzon Island, and Manila will face a direct attack.

Therefore, the base camp decided to transfer the citizens and supplies in Manila to Sumatra before it is completely locked down and transportation can barely be maintained in various parts of Southeast Asia."

Well, when he said these words, everyone knew that Manila was completely abandoned.

"Iwabashi Kazuo, left, is about to arrive in Manila and will be responsible for directing the transfer work in Manila." Iwabuchi continued to give the orders from the base camp three times.

Kazuo Iwahashi, Chief of Staff of Japan’s secret forces in Southeast Asia, Army Chief of Staff.

With him commanding the evacuation, it can also be seen that Yamashita Tomofumi did not trust Iwabuchi three times at all.

Iwabuchi didn't care three times.

It would be nice if all these things and people were evacuated.

Now I can go out and have a big fight in Manila.

"New Valley Daizuo!"

"exist!"

"You will be responsible for connecting with Iwahashi Daizuo!"

"Hai!"

"Everyone, let us go all out and fight." Iwabuchi said coldly three times: "Let Manila turn into a sea of ​​fire and a grave for Americans!"

…

"Iwabuchi has gone crazy three times!" Takuma Shintani sneered: "He decided to bury himself here."

"It's always difficult for us to understand the thoughts of crazy people." Meng Shaoyuan said: "Since he wants to bury himself here, no one can persuade him."

"It is extremely difficult to defend Manila." Takuma Shintani immediately said: "This time, the Japanese base camp sent Kazuo Iwahashi to Manila to be responsible for the transfer of personnel and materials."

"Most of the supplies have entered the tunnel and are about to be blown up." Meng Shaoyuan frowned: "The 'Awa Maru' docked in Manila twice, and the last time in Sumatra."

"The last time?" Takuma Shintani was startled.

Meng Shaoyuan hurriedly covered it up: "Judging from the current war situation, Japan's defeat has become a foregone conclusion, and the mission of the 'Awa Maru' is about to end."

Takuma Shintani was relieved: "Manila is too dangerous. I'm considering letting you evacuate with Kazuo Iwahashi!"

"Senior, is Sumatra safe?" Meng Shaoyuan smiled: "The Allies are launching a large-scale offensive, and nowhere in Southeast Asia is safe.

I stayed in Manila and was able to cooperate when the US military launched an attack. Don't worry, senior, I can protect myself."

Seeing that Meng Shaoyuan had made up his mind, Takuma Shintani did not force himself: "Then if you continue to recuperate for a while, you can almost go out to work."

"Don't worry, Ouchi Yuushi is not dead yet." Meng Shaoyuan smiled: "Whenever he dies, that will be the day I recover from my injuries."

Although he has always been very optimistic about Meng Shaoyuan, this time, Takuma Shintani was obviously a little less confident.

Since Meng Shaoyuan was "injured", he has been recuperating and has not done anything substantial.

Can you kill Ouchi Yushi just by staying at home?

"Senior, everything has been planned." Meng Shaoyuan said calmly: "Dauchi Yushi has fallen into chaos, it is time to give him a fatal blow!"

"Really?" Takuma Shintani looked at him: "Are you good at witchcraft?"

"What witchcraft?" Meng Shaoyuan felt confused.

Takuma Shintani also laughed: "You can kill one person with three women at home, what is that if it's not witchcraft?"
