Lost and Spy

Fimino, studied in France.

After returning to China, he immediately devoted himself to politics.

But he himself did not have a strong background, especially because he studied in France, and was completely unpopular in the Philippine political arena where the United States was dominant at the time.

Therefore, he has never been successful.

In a last ditch effort, he joined the Philippine opposition party.

However, the Americans control the Philippine political arena, and the opposition parties describe it as a hypocrisy.

He was even used as a scapegoat by senior members of the opposition party and was arrested and imprisoned four times.

Therefore, he has quite a "fame".

Von Matoran would never take such a small person seriously.

If it were not for the request of the Americans, von Matoran would even think that talking to him would be a stain on his identity.

This was the first time he saw Firmino.

He is in his 40s, thin and dark-skinned.

The face and body were not only dirty, but also had a lot of scars.

Firmino is also happy to see the other party come to negotiate.

God knows how much suffering he suffered in the 20 years after returning to China.

There is no progress in career.

On the contrary, he was imprisoned four times, and although he was released shortly after each imprisonment, the senior leaders of the opposition parties only encouraged him lightly, but did not entrust him with important responsibilities at all.

Then, the Americans fled and the Japanese came calling.

There is no doubt that Firmino was captured by the Japanese.

Because of his opposition to the party, he was a blessing in disguise and was appointed a minor official by the Japanese.

Before he could achieve success, the Americans landed on Luzon Island again.

As a result, they officials were held hostage.

The Japanese are not polite at all.

Firmino was lucky enough to find an opportunity and run away.

Since the outbreak of the Battle of Manila, he has been hiding in XZ. It was not until Malacañang was recaptured that he saw hope.

However, riots and deaths occurred immediately.

It should be said that although he has made no achievements in the political arena, he still has rich experience after being together for so long.

He keenly grasped the opportunity immediately.

The war would soon end in Manila.

Post-war reconstruction must be a top priority.

There is a lot of waste waiting to be done, and there are a lot of vacancies in the new government.

This is your best chance.

But this time, he must hold on firmly and improve his status in the eyes of the people.

So he told those Filipinos that fierce resistance would only cause greater casualties.

He would lead them in sit-ins and be sure to get the results they wanted.

At this time, these Filipinos were helpless and panicked. They needed someone to stand up and lead them.This is how Firmino gained the trust of these people.

He didn't expect that the other party's negotiator would arrive so quickly.

This made him somewhat complacent.

"Disband immediately."

Von Matoran said as soon as they met: "This is Malacañang Palace, where the new government will be established. By doing this, you are discrediting the new government and the entire Philippines!"

New government?
so fast?
Fimino was greatly moved, and he vowed that he would never let this great opportunity slip away: "Sir, I refuse. You must know what terrible things happened here. A Filipino died , and he just wanted a bite to eat.

Sir, this is the Philippines of the Philippines, not the Philippines of the Americans or the Japanese.We need the US military to explain, apologize and compensate us. "

You are crazy.

Von Matoran was sure of this, but he held back his disdain and displeasure and said: "Tell me, what are you going to do?"

Fimino cheered up: "To punish the murderer, the US military commander must apologize to us in public, bury the body, and pay compensation to the family. To ensure that similar incidents will not happen again.

At the same time, all Filipino refugees here must be properly resettled and provided with living security. "

He actually knows in his heart that an apology and compensation are simply impossible for Americans.

If the Americans can distribute some food, then this sit-in demonstration with its own leadership can be regarded as a success.

After all, survival is the most important thing.

And this can also be regarded as his own merit.

You may even be regarded as a hero!

"I refuse!" Unexpectedly, von Matoran didn't even consider it: "I will not agree to any of your requests."

so direct?

This was something Firmino didn't expect at all.

"Sir, who do you represent!" Fimino couldn't help but raise his voice: "Our people died, don't you feel sad at all?"

"I don't have any sadness." Von Matoran said in a cold voice: "That's not a Filipino, that's a thug, and I won't shed a tear for the thug.

The US military fought bloody battles for the freedom of the Philippines, but these thugs attempted to kill heroic US soldiers. This is intolerable.He should be lucky to be dead, otherwise, he would definitely be severely punished by the law! "

Fimino was stunned.

Things were not at all what he imagined.

Of course, what the other party said was not wrong. These people did initiate a riot.

He took a deep breath: "Sir, we can wait until the future to conduct a detailed investigation on this matter. But do you see these people behind me? They have been hungry for too long, and they are dying. Struggling online, they are all your compatriots, sir.

Therefore, I implore you to allow the US military to distribute some food. Their requirements are not high, as long as they can survive. "

This is Firmino's final bottom line.

As long as he can get some food for these people, he will be considered a success.

The problem is that von Matoran has been in the political arena for so long and has rich experience. He is already an old fox. How could he not see what Fimino is thinking?
Moreover, he could be sure that Fimino felt guilty.

Also, when Fimino talks about "them", he is quietly drawing a line between himself and those Filipinos.

Therefore, he sneered and said: "I also rejected this request. The food of the US military belongs to the US military, and it is combat food. Are you going to let the US military give food to you people who have no fighting ability, and let ours Allies, are you going to fight the Japanese on an empty stomach?

You are all civilians, you have no combat missions, and it doesn't matter if you are hungry.Moreover, you can find food by yourself.Manila is so big, is it really impossible to find any food?No, I don’t think that’s the case. It’s just that you are lazy. You are unwilling to pay and only think about taking.

I will not agree to any of your unreasonable demands until the war is over.At the same time, I also ask you to dismiss these people immediately and not to bring any bad influence to the new government that is about to be formed.Remember, this is my last warning to you! "
