Lost and Spy

Even though they are both here for the establishment of a new government, the status of Americans and Filipinos here is completely different.

The American officials, headed by Levi, moved into the best rooms in Malacañang Palace.

Their daily food, taking lunch as an example, includes three meat dishes, two vegetarian dishes, one soup, drinks, desserts and fruits.

Ordinary Philippine government workers eat the same mashed potatoes plus Filipinos’ favorite rice.

Occasionally, you can still see a bit of meat.

Even for a high-ranking official like von Matoran, it is just as easy as adding a meat dish.

But even so, compared to those Filipinos who are struggling on the edge of death, it is still a good life.

Von Matoran has dealt with Americans many times and knows that these Americans are not easy to mess with.

Especially when a new government is about to be established, we need to be even more careful not to offend them.

"Sir, are you satisfied with the food?"

Meng Shaoyuan walked in.

"Lieutenant Colonel Charles, please sit down." Levi stood up and enthusiastically took out a bottle of wine and two glasses: "Have a drink?"

"Okay, sir." Meng Shaoyuan took out two boxes of cut tobacco: "I got some cut tobacco for you. Of course, it's not the best."

Levi was overjoyed: "My dear Lieutenant Colonel, how did you know that I came in a hurry this time and did not bring enough tobacco? I am worried about this matter."

Is there anything to guess about this? Your young master knew you were running out of shredded tobacco when he saw you asking for cigarettes yesterday.

He smiled and said, "Sir, I just happened to get it."

Levi likes this lieutenant colonel, he really does.

"Have those nasty Filipinos left yet?" After pouring the wine, Levi stuffed tobacco into his pipe, lit it, and took a nice puff.

"Yes, they haven't left yet." Meng Shaoyuan said: "Of course, apart from being a little annoying, they have nothing illegal outside the cordon we set up. If they are forcibly evicted, I am worried that they will cause unnecessary trouble again. .”

"You did a good job, Lieutenant Colonel." Levi looked quite satisfied: "As far as the current situation is concerned, the fighting in Manila is still going on, and it is necessary to maintain a certain degree of stability. If bloodshed occurs again, It may cause serious dissatisfaction among Filipinos, which is not in the interests of the United States.

However, those guys outside are really annoying, and we have to find a way to get rid of them. "

At this point, he paused for a moment before continuing: "Lieutenant Colonel, this time the new government is established, Osmina will become the interim president of the new Philippine government."

What's the meaning?Meng Shaoyuan immediately became aware.

He is a soldier.

There is no need for the other party to talk to me about such political matters.

What does he want to do?
Meng Shaoyuan did not say anything, but listened to Levi's words: "After the war broke out, Osmina has been living in the United States. With the help of the United States, he has a large number of fans. After Quezon's death, He is the best choice for president of the new Philippine government.

The United States supports him, but at present, he seems to have his own ideas.The U.S. government submitted to him a plan for the comprehensive reconstruction of the Philippines after the war, but Osmina was slow to respond, despite several urgings. "

Meng Shaoyuan understood immediately.

The Philippine reconstruction plan submitted by the US government must have sold out a lot of Philippine interests to satisfy the interests of the Americans.

Osmina knows very well that once this agreement is signed, he will become the target of public criticism.

Maybe not now.

But when the war is far away and peace truly comes, these will become the triggers for his resignation.Therefore, he must be cautious.

But this caused dissatisfaction among Americans.

Levi said coldly: "Osmina has probably forgotten who is bleeding for the Philippines and who is restoring freedom and democracy in the Philippines. It is the United States, the great American government!
In the reconstruction process of the Philippines, the United States must take the leading position, and this cannot be changed. "

"It's just Osmina's ambiguous attitude that caused these subtle changes." Meng Shaoyuan said it for him.

"Yes." Levi nodded: "After arriving at Malacañang Palace, I reminded him several times about the signing of the agreement, but he was perfunctory every time. I also reported this to the country.

The country believes that it is time to teach Osmina a lesson and let him know who is the real owner of this place. "

The so-called domestic refers to nothing more than the financial oligarchs in the United States.

To be more precise, they are the top ten financial groups in the United States:

Rockefeller, Morgan, First Citibank, DuPont, Boston, Mellon, Cleveland, Chicago, California, Texas!

Kennedy wanted to take back the power to print money, but he was assassinated. They also controlled Congress. If the assassination failed, and they were removed from Congress, these consortiums completely controlled the United States, the U.S. dollar, and also controlled the world through the U.S. dollar.

A small interim president of the Philippines actually goes against their will, which will certainly arouse their dissatisfaction.

You know, there is huge wealth hidden in the post-war reconstruction of the Philippines.

How could these American consortiums give up?

"Sir." Meng Shaoyuan cheered up: "Do you need me to do anything?"

"You're smart, Lieutenant Colonel."

Levi applauded, and then said: "We think we should teach Osmina some lessons. Of course, he himself bears a heavy responsibility, and it would be unwise to attack him.

Von Matoran is his confidant and his closest comrade-in-arms. I think this person may be able to make Osmena see something clearly.Lieutenant Colonel, what do you think we should do? "

Meng Shaoyuan did not answer immediately.

In fact, Levi has already had an idea in his mind, but he won't say it out loud.

These dirty politicians will shift all the responsibilities onto others.

And Meng Shaoyuan was just a "US military" officer.

The government does not need to bear responsibility for what he has done.

Meng Shaoyuan really had a headache.

After a moment of silence, Meng Shaoyuan finally said: "Perhaps those sitting in and protesting outside can play some role."

A smile flashed across Levi's eyes, but he immediately looked surprised: "People who sit in and demonstrate? What role can they play?"

Install, continue to install.

Meng Shaoyuan sneered in his heart.

That's right, it's not just you, I'm also eyeing those sit-in demonstrations.

Everyone wants to use them, so it depends on who can use them better.

"Sir, listen to me." Meng Shaoyuan said with sincerity: "Please leave this matter to me. If you don't know, it's all caused by us soldiers."
