Lost and Spy

"Sir, show me your ID!"

Meng Shaoyuan, who was sitting in the back seat, remained silent while the co-pilot Li Zhifeng took out his ID.

The sentry checked the document carefully and returned it to Li Zhifeng, then saluted Meng Shaoyuan and Major Hendlip in the back row:
"Sir, you can come in."

Spabanios.

Hendlip has always been a studious guy, and since joining Spabanios, he has been observing his surroundings.

Compared to the days of Japanese rule and war, Spabanios has shown signs of recovery.

Although it is slow, it can still give people hope.

"This is all thanks to the greatness of America."

Hendlip said with admiration: "Without the United States, Spabanos would still be under the brutal rule of the Japanese."

"Yes, Major." Meng Shaoyuan smiled: "But there are always some disharmonious places, such as there."

Looking in the direction of his finger, Hendlip's face became a little ugly.

Something seemed to have happened to two American troops, who kicked a local to the ground.

This is actually quite normal.

This local may have offended the US military, perhaps there was a problem with the conversation, or perhaps he was found to have brought some contraband.

But it was different in the eyes of Major Hendlip.

He is a military lawyer who has never been on a battlefield, let alone experienced such a scene.

Seeing the US military beating people, his brows knitted together: "What are you doing?"

In his eyes, this was a complete violation of military discipline and would damage the image of the U.S. military.

Meng Shaoyuan said nothing, just sighed deeply.

Sometimes, without saying a word, a sigh or an expression can give others a more meaningful feeling.

The car stopped.

Meng Shaoyuan and Major Hendlip walked towards the military camp.

Li Zhifeng and Lieutenant Ter, who was driving, sat lazily in the car, with cigarettes in their mouths and their feet hanging out of the car.

American soldiers are always the most popular here.

Because they have money, and more importantly, they have food to eat.

Many local women often find excuses to get close to these American soldiers, and then sacrifice themselves without hesitation, just for a bite to eat.

Li Zhifeng and Teer met.

A lot of women would approach them because not only were they American soldiers, but they also drove cars.

Unfortunately, Li Zhifeng and Teer were not particularly interested.

……

"Colonel Dillon."

When Colonel Dillon finally arrived in the office, Meng Shaoyuan and Major Hendlip stood up at the same time.

"Lieutenant Colonel Charles, Major Hendlip, please take a seat."

There wasn't much expression on Dillon's face.

Recently, there have been too many things to worry about.

He went to his seat and sat down: "Lieutenant Colonel Charles, you are in charge of the Port of Manila. Major Hendlip, you are a lawyer. What are you doing in Spabanos?" "I think between us There was some misunderstanding, Colonel." Meng Shaoyuan said straight to the point: "I found that many vehicles leaving the Port of Manila recently have passes signed by me, but without exception, they were detained in Spabanos."

"Yes." Colonel Dillon did not deny it at all: "They were all impounded by me. Lieutenant Colonel, I must tell you that although these vehicles driving out of Manila have passes, they are all loaded with prohibited items. Taste.

According to wartime laws, these contraband items need to be confiscated. I wonder why the Lieutenant Colonel expressed dissatisfaction? "

"Colonel, I think you are mistaken. I am not dissatisfied." Meng Shaoyuan said unhurriedly: "However, some situations need to be treated differently. The Port of Manila is undergoing a difficult recovery. We lack money and everything, but we must We want those Filipinos to serve us.

Therefore, for some things that seem to be prohibited, we know what they are going to do, but in order to stabilize them, we have to take some other measures in disguise.We need these people, Colonel. "

"Taking other measures in disguise?" Colonel Dillon snorted coldly: "I only know how to resolutely implement the orders of my superiors and resolutely safeguard the law and the dignity of the United States. As for other measures? Lieutenant Colonel, this is not within my scope of consideration. within."

Is this guy here to ask questions?
But this is Spabanos, not your Manila port.

Colonel Dillon sneered in his heart.

Meng Shaoyuan was silent.

"I agree with you, Colonel."

This time, it was Major Hendlip who spoke: "We all hate smuggling. Although Lieutenant Colonel Charles had good intentions, he still broke the rules. Regarding the Lieutenant Colonel's acquiescence, I will report it to his superiors. .”

Only then did Colonel Dillon smile.

Lieutenant Colonel Charles?
This arrogant and ignorant boy only got to his current position through luck and flattery.

At least, that's how Colonel Dillon saw it.

Otherwise, it would be difficult for him to understand how such a young man could become a lieutenant colonel.

Major Hendlip is a lawyer after all, and he can still understand things.

Major Hendlip then said: "Of course, Colonel, I also learned some unexpected news through different channels. It is said that smuggling is extremely rampant in Spabanos."

Colonel Dillon's expression changed.

Yes, it is.

If Charles was seeking the welfare of those in Manila Port, then Colonel Dillon was seeking the welfare of his soldiers.

In fact, in the American occupied territories, smuggling incidents occurred one after another, and everyone turned a blind eye.

Besides, Colonel Dillon also seized so much contraband, could it really be that they were all turned over?

If you sell it on the spot, you can leave a lot of money for yourself, except what you divide.

Colonel Dillon knew that with his age, it would be difficult to take another step forward, even with the support of General Patton.

At most, you can become a brigadier general, right?

What about after you retire?
There is a pension, but you still have to leave something for yourself, right?

He had had his eye on a farm for a long time.

However, Major Hendlip's words immediately made him unhappy: "What are you implying, Major? Are you implying that I allow smuggling in Spabanios? No, you are wrong.

I admit that there is smuggling in Spabanos, but I have dealt with it as severely as possible. "

"Please don't get excited, Colonel." Major Hendlip said calmly: "I just said that I got some information in this regard, and there is no other evidence. I firmly believe that the Colonel is upright, and I also firmly believe that the Colonel Determination.

But I think everything must go through on-site investigation.What do you say, Colonel? "

Colonel Dillon said nothing more.

Charles and Hendryp suddenly appeared in Spabanios. What was their purpose and what was their attempt? (End of chapter)
