Chapter 3444 The first confrontation
Meng Shaoyuan got up early in the morning and felt that he was in a really good mood.
Manila is a great place.
Although it faces bombing from the US Air Force every day, it does not stop it from being a good place.
Especially, there is a wife who was sent to me on his own initiative.
If there is no war, this place is suitable for long-term living.
When it comes to treating Meng Shaoyuan, Mei Xuzi is even more proactive and enthusiastic than she treats her husband.
After all, this man brought her great joy.
"Taniguchi-kun, did you have a good rest yesterday?"
Fu Zhong Jingze was smiling all over his face.
He simply turned a blind eye to his wife standing next to "Shibu Taniguchi".
It was as if he had never known this woman before.
"very good."
Meng Shaoyuan smiled and said: "It really makes me feel ashamed to bother you all the time."
"Where is this place?" Fuzhong Jingze became even more happy: "Breakfast is ready. Just now, I contacted Eguchi. He will be in my office at nine o'clock."
"That's great." Meng Shaoyuan's mind was spinning rapidly: "You always have to see the people you should see."
He was full of curiosity about Jiangguchi and Hong.
Why did the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs get involved?
What role does Eguchi Kazumi play in this?
My plan to steal gold has reached its most critical moment.
Any factors that may cause damage to the operation must be eliminated promptly and effectively!
…
Fuzhong Jingze is still doing well in Manila.
His office is spacious and elegant.
Moreover, despite countless bombings by US military aircraft, he still remained unharmed.
This has to be said to be a miracle.
When I went there, it was just around 8:30.
But there was a person waiting outside the office.
"Eguchi Kazumi?"
When he saw this person, Fu Zhong Jingze was startled and hurriedly greeted him:
"Eguchi-kun, so early? I kept you waiting for a long time."
"No, it's because I came early." Jiangguchi and Hongdandan said, "I'm used to coming earlier to avoid making others wait for me."
After saying that, he glanced at Meng Shaoyuan: "Who is this?"
"This is Shibuya Taniguchi." Fukuzaka Keizawa introduced: "He is the inspector sent by His Excellency the Prince."
"You are Lord Taniguchi." Eguchi and Hongke said politely: "I have admired your name for a long time, and it is a great honor for me to see you here."
This person is difficult to deal with.
This was the first thought that came to Meng Shaoyuan's mind.
Arriving early should mean that this person is suspicious.
He is accustomed to controlling time and terrain in his own hands.
Judging from the tone of his conversation with Fuzhong Jingze, he is not a polite person.
But he is very polite to himself.
"Okay, let's go into the office and talk."
Eguchi and Hong invited the two people into their offices.
As soon as he sat down, Eguchi and Hong said: "Your Excellency Taniguchi has been in the Philippines for some time, right?"
"Yes."
"There are really many places worth remembering in the Philippines." Kazuhiro Eguchi seemed to say it very casually, "so much so that Mr. Taniguchi didn't want to leave for a long time."
"yes."
Meng Shaoyuan said with a smile: "I like this place. It is beautiful and there are many things worth seeing. Unfortunately, my work is quite heavy, so I have never been able to fully appreciate this country."
"Really?" Eguchi Kazuhiro asked again: "So, has your work been completed?"
"Not yet." Meng Shaoyuan still maintained a smile: "Besides, even if my work is completed, based on the current situation, do I have the chance to leave this country?"
Jiangguchi and Hong's expression changed slightly.
He was testing Shibu Taniguchi.
However, Shibuya Taniguchi not only answered accurately, he even knew that the Philippines had been completely blocked.
Can't get in, can't get out!
As Yamada Youtaro's assistant, he is naturally aware of the current situation.
But where did Shibuya Taniguchi learn about it?
There is only one possibility: Shibuya Taniguchi has his own source of information.
Moreover, the source of this information comes from high-level officials!
Then, there is not much problem with Shibuya Taniguchi’s identity.
How could he have imagined that Meng Shaoyuan not only knew what was happening in the Philippines now, but also knew the course of the Philippines in the future.
What's even more amazing is that with the US military blockade, there is no way to verify Shibuya Taniguchi's identity even if you suspect that he is fake.
Investigating Taniguchi Shibu was a task given to Eguchi Kazumi by Yamada Yoshitaro.
Yoshitaro Yamada did not consider the authenticity at all. He just felt that Shibuya Taniguchi had stayed in the Philippines for a long time and that he had too much power.
It's even so big that no one can restrain it.
After all, the Mountain Lily Society is an organization led by Prince Hengde himself.
Even the military only assists them in completing their tasks.
Once problems arise, no one can control them.
Especially under the current circumstances.
As an important minister of Japan, Yoshitaro Yamada felt that he needed to supervise Prince Tsunede.
And this is also the task he gave to Eguchi Kazumi.
Eguchi and Hong didn't know that their conversation had a side effect.
Previously, after hearing the news that the Philippines had been completely blocked and unable to leave, Fuzhong Jingze was still a little skeptical.
But now, he heard their conversation with his own ears, and he began to trust Shibu Taniguchi more and more.
Yes, from the expressions on Eguchi Kazumi's face, he judged that everything Taniguchi Shibu said was true.
This also made him make up his mind:
My future can only be tied to Shibu Taniguchi.
Except for Shibuya Taniguchi, no one can help me.
"I don't understand what you mean." Eguchi Kazuhiro smiled reluctantly: "There is nothing that cannot leave this country. Mr. Taniguchi, others heard you and thought you were trying to deceive the people."
"Yeah?"
Meng Shaoyuan said calmly: "I wonder, is it so difficult to face reality? The soldiers of the empire are fighting bloody battles on the front line, but their situation is not optimistic.
On the front line, a large number of imperial soldiers surrendered, which was unthinkable earlier. There is only one reason to explain, the soldiers' confidence is wavering.
What about us? But we are still deceiving ourselves and whitewashing the peace. This is simply ridiculous. We are hiding the news from the people and letting them think that we are winning step by step. When the Americans land, what do you think will happen then?"
Jiangguchi and Hong were silent.
He couldn't answer this question at all.
Even, in his opinion, although what Shibuya Taniguchi said was very unpleasant, the words of loyalty were heartbreaking, and he was sincerely considering the future of the empire.
However, such words must not be spread out. Since you have deceived, you must deceive to the end!
"Wake up, Eguchi-kun."
Meng Shaoyuan decided to use this opportunity to completely suppress Jiangguchi and Hong's arrogance. Only in this way can he take the lead in the future:
Chapter completed!
