Lost and Spy

Chapter 3324 Cowardly Lieutenant Colonel

"Major, in the Philippines now, the main center is in Manila."

Meng Shaoyuan gave a general introduction: "The constitutional government is in Malacañang, but I don't recommend that you work there."

Major Hendlip was a little confused: "Why?"

Couston quickly explained helpfully: “Although Malacañang Palace was not damaged during the war and was protected to the maximum extent, the facilities inside are relatively old and the supplies cannot be guaranteed.

Also, those Philippine officials are procrastinating and extremely inefficient.Therefore, I also moved my office to the Port of Manila, where everything you want is available.Lieutenant Colonel Charles will give you every help. "

"Thank you so much."

After Hendlip finished speaking, Meng Shaoyuan said: "I respect the law and I respect lawyers. The operation of a country needs to be maintained by the law."

This sentence was very useful to Hendlip.

you?
Do you respect the law?
Li Zhifeng on the other side was dismissive.

"Major, let me take you to visit the Manila Port and choose an office that you are satisfied with."

……

"We have a pass, we have a pass!"

"Passport?"

Colonel Dillon sneered, tore the pass into pieces and threw it to the ground.

In his eyes, the pass was worthless.

This is Spabanios.

Everything here is up to you.

Any smuggled items will be confiscated.

"Send these things to Ajit."

……

This was Major Hendlip's first visit to the Port of Manila.

For a city that is still in the process of being developed, Major Hendlip admires the work efficiency of being able to restart Southeast Asia's largest port so quickly.

Before, Mr. Cawston had grandly introduced Lieutenant Colonel Charles to himself and praised him generously.

Therefore, Lieutenant Colonel Charles had left an excellent impression on Hendlip's mind.

At this time, seeing the operation of the Manila Port made Hendlip even more convinced that the Lieutenant Colonel was a practical person.

He once participated in the great rescue and also fought in the bloody battle in Manila.

Even though he was responsible for local affairs, his performance was still so outstanding.

"Lieutenant Colonel, something happened."

At this time, Captain William walked over in a hurry: "Our goods were detained again in Spabanos."

"I know." Meng Shaoyuan frowned.

"They are too presumptuous." Captain William raised his voice: "This is simply provocation."

"That's enough, Captain." Meng Shaoyuan interrupted.

"What's wrong?" Hendlip asked.Meng Shaoyuan did not speak, and Couston helped him and said: "A large amount of cargo comes in and out of the Manila Port every day. Important cargo shipped from the port will be issued a pass to ensure smooth delivery. But recently, there has been a large amount of cargo at the port. In Spa Baños was detained."

"Why?" Hendlip asked curiously.

This time, it was Meng Shaoyuan who answered: "Indeed, we were wrong first. Major, the situation in Manila is quite special. The war here has just ended and a large number of victims have appeared. Moreover, since the Philippine constitutional government has just been established, everything is lacking. , workers here are not even guaranteed basic wages.

Therefore, some workers will work with drivers to quietly transport some contraband, such as controlled grains, etc. In this way, they must earn a little Weibo profit to feed their families.I know this too, and most of the time, I give them a pass. "

His words gave Major Hendlip the first feeling that he was a very honest lieutenant colonel.

This is smuggling.

Under normal circumstances, the parties concerned will keep silent or even shift the responsibility to others.

But Lieutenant Colonel Charles?
He had no qualms about telling these secrets in front of someone he had just met.

"Everyone will thank you, Charles." Couston said comfortingly: "What can be done? These people managed to survive the war. Now that the war in Manila is over, should their families be allowed to be killed?" Starving to death?"

"Yes, Lieutenant Colonel." Major Hendlip also said: "From a legal perspective, this is not allowed, but given the special and severe situation in Manila, it is completely understandable for the Lieutenant Colonel to do this. , will be prosecuted in the future, then, Lieutenant Colonel, I am willing to be your defense lawyer, and I will do my best to prove that you are innocent!"

"Thank you, Major." Meng Shaoyuan smiled bitterly.

Causton continued: “But in Spabanos, those people were in big trouble, and their vehicles were impounded even though they had passes. For this reason, these people had to face huge losses. ”.
"Sparbaños?" Hendlip read the place name again: "Perhaps we can communicate with the commander there and explain the special reasons?"

"It's no use, because the commander there is Colonel Ephias Dillon."

"Who is he?"

Cawston leaned close to Major Hendlip and whispered for a while.

It dawned on the Major.

The conflict between MacArthur and Pershing was not something an officer of his level could know.

However, Major Hendlip still understood the reason.

"The law is still the law." Major Hendlip frowned and said, "Although from a legal perspective, what Colonel Dillon did was not wrong, but he went against human nature."

Couston sneered: "If Dillon was detained in accordance with regulations, then we have nothing to say. We sympathize with those people, but the law is the law. However, Colonel Dillon seems to have his own selfish motives.

In Spabanios, a large amount of contraband appeared, which was seized by Dillon. "

"Then, this is another question." Major Henry Depp frowned: "I can launch an investigation immediately."

"No need." Meng Shaoyuan sighed deeply: "Everyone is fighting hard in the Philippines. Besides, Colonel Dillon is just fulfilling his duties. There is no need to worry him about this matter. Okay, Coston, you Accompany the Major for another tour, and I’ll deal with this matter.”

Looking at Meng Shaoyuan's back, Couston looked a little helpless: "The lieutenant colonel is good at everything, but he is too kind and even a little cowardly. Dillon is already like this, but Charles, a middle school student, still chooses to endure it."

Major Hendlip also discovered this.

Yes, Lieutenant Colonel Charles is a hero and a good man who can empathize with the people.

But good people often get themselves into trouble.

Like now.

Dillon?

This was the first time Major Hendlip had heard this name.

At least now, the name Dillon gives the Major an extremely strong feeling of discomfort!
