"This is the Pagolan School."

Meng Shaoyuan clicked on the map.

This is a school in Manila. Previously, during the Spanish colonial rule, the Spanish businessman Pagori donated this school.

At that time, it mainly served the local Spanish people.

After the Americans colonized Manila, in order to win over people, the Americans opened the Pergolier School to the locals.

However, those who can go to school here are basically the upper class in Manila.

After the Japanese drove away the Americans, the school was under tight control.

Although school can still reopen, every teacher and student in school lives in terror all the time.

Not long after the Japanese army occupied Manila, two drunken Japanese soldiers broke into the Pagorie School, raped and killed a female employee in broad daylight.

Afterwards, the Japanese authorities turned a blind eye and the two Japanese soldiers were not punished in any way.

After Iwabuchi decided to defend Manila three times, he began to take a large number of hostages to threaten the incoming U.S. military.

There are many similar detention facilities in Manila.

For example, at the University of Santo Tomas, more than 5,000 prisoners of war and civilians were imprisoned.

In the Baigolie School, more than 3,000 civilians were imprisoned.

Among them, at least 2,000 are Americans.

And among these civilians, there are a large number of children.

"Tian Qi, tell me."

As soon as Meng Shaoyuan finished speaking, Tian Qi said: "The US military has basically grasped the situation of the University of St. Thomas and the Pagorie School, and ordered that when the US military launches an attack on Manila, everything possible should be done to ensure that these two schools

Security of hostages in buildings.

There are hundreds of children in the Pagorie School. The US military command ordered that they must quickly find out the situation in the school and where the hostages are being held to provide accurate intelligence for future US military attacks.

Hostage rescue."

"What a joke."

Li Zhifeng immediately said: "How to rescue? There are only a few of us? The only thing we can do is to provide the US military with specific information about the school."

After speaking, he turned his attention to Meng Shaoyuan.

Meng Shaoyuan only said one sentence: "What else?"

Tian Qi smiled: "I can't hide anything from you. Yes, it is simply impossible to rescue so many hostages with the help of people like us.

Among these hostages was a man named Almu Cady Yanes. He and his wife and children encountered an accident before Japan occupied the Philippines and failed to evacuate in time, so they became prisoners of the Japanese."

Meng Shaoyuan said: "Is this person very important?"

"Yes." Tian Qi nodded: "He is the assistant of Philippine President Quezon's close comrade-in-arms Osmina. At the same time, he is also a relative of Osmina, and he has the trust of Osmina.

Osmina went to the United States in 1933, while Yanez remained in the Philippines to serve as an important contact between him and Quezon.

At the same time, when the Japanese army attacked the Philippines, Yanez also gave MacArthur a lot of help, but when MacArthur made an emergency evacuation, ah, under my cover, MacArthur actually missed Yanez."

Meng Shaoyuan smiled.

Not an omission.

But MacArthur didn't take Yanez seriously at all.

Osmina?

Well, is it the later President of the Philippines?

"Osmina in the United States was very angry when she learned about it." Tian Qi continued: "But no one paid attention to Osmina at the time. But after Philippine President Quezon became seriously ill, Osmina's status dropped.

become important.

It is generally believed that after the liberation of the Philippines, Osmeña is the most popular candidate for the new president of the Philippines. Therefore, Americans attach great importance to him to a new level.

Osmina made a request to find out the whereabouts of Yanes. After hard work, the intelligence department got a clue.

At that time, a Filipino who had worked with Yanez had a lucky escape, and he told the United States with certainty that he met a low-level official named Carlberg in the Ministry of Interior of the Philippine puppet government, who was Yanez."

"its not right."

Meng Shaoyuan murmured: "If this Carlberg is Yanes, then how can he remain anonymous? Even if the lower-level officials don't know his identity, the higher-ups must know him.

Especially the pseudo-president of the Philippines, Laurel, who was also Quezon’s ‘close comrade’ before the fall of the Philippines, so it is impossible not to know Yanez.”

Maybe there is some hidden secret in this?

Before the U.S. military counterattacked the Philippines, pseudo-President Laurel sneaked from Manila to the mainland under Japanese protection.

After the US military landed on Luzon Island, Yamashita Fengfumi sent someone to secretly escort him to Nara, Japan.

He is gone, but the officials in his pseudo-government are out of luck.

All middle- and lower-level officials were taken hostage by the Japanese.

How could these officials of the pseudo-government imagine that they would actually end up as hostages?

"I did some research." Tian Qi didn't know what Meng Shaoyuan was thinking: "Yanes, whose pseudonym is Pseudo Carlberg, was imprisoned in the Pagorie School together with his family.

Because he can speak Japanese, the Japanese army still needs him to act as a translator when necessary, so he is safe for now. But after the Americans land on Luzon Island, massacre may happen at any time.

After Osmina learned of Yanez's whereabouts, he strongly demanded that the US military must rescue him. This task fell to me, Peter Lin."

"How many people are in their family?" Meng Shaoyuan asked.

"Five people, he, his wife, and three children. The oldest is seven years old and the youngest is three."

Meng Shaoyuan frowned when he heard this.

If he only rescues the Yanez couple, he can still find a way.

But three kids?

The youngest is only three years old?

This undoubtedly increases the difficulty of rescue.

What's even more terrible is that the Marine Corps is in charge of the Pagorie School because of its high defensive value.

Meng Shao was originally the commander of the security forces, so his influence was completely useless to the Marine Corps.

"To find a way, first go to Baigolie to find out the situation." Meng Shaoyuan thought for a while and said: "As the top commander of the security forces, I am nothing in the eyes of those navy. The only one I can rely on is probably Yan Yan."

Deep three times."

After finishing speaking, he paused and said: "No, I still have to go to Iwabuchi three times first. If he can give me some privileges, I might be able to find a way."

This was just his best idea. Even if Iwabuchi really gave him privileges three times, it is easy to imagine how difficult it would be to bring a family of five out.
