Lost and Spy

Sarni is calm.

Colonel Dillon rose early in the morning.

Before, he didn't care about Sarni, but today for some reason, he suddenly kicked Sarni on the bed:
"Damn pig, do you want to sleep instead of sleeping?"

In fact, Sarny had woken up a long time ago, and he just didn't want to face Colonel Dillon.

The kick hurts.

Sarni stood up quickly.

It could be seen yesterday that Colonel Dillon was in a very bad mood.

Sarni didn't dare to ask any more questions.

"Stay here, don't go anywhere!" After Colonel Dillon finished speaking, he left angrily.

Originally, Sarni was still very worried and scared about today's escape.

But Colonel Dillon did this, which actually calmed her down.

There is nothing to fear anymore.

She didn't want to stay in this devil's cave for another minute.

Maybe it will fail, but so what?

Compared with freedom, compared with being with the one you love, any price you pay is worth it.

After sitting silently in the room for more than half an hour, counting the time, Sarni got up and left.

This departure is a farewell and will never look back!

……

Major Hendlip decided to conduct a thorough investigation at Spabanios.

He knew that Colonel Dillon must be selling the seized contraband.

Because many commanders in the US military-occupied areas did this.

The top brass of the U.S. military also ignored it.

All that matters is victory.

Why bother with these little things?
Besides, it is also a good thing to keep the pockets of frontline officers full.

During World War II, there were many instances of the U.S. military stealing from others, making money wantonly, and completely ignoring military discipline.

For example, a group of U.S. troops once drove a tank into a bank in the German-occupied area of ​​France. They cooperated with the German tank commander and stole $[-] million worth of gold from the bank.

It seems unbelievable to many, but this is what really happened during World War II.

Later, in the 70s, the great director and superstar Clint Eastwood also made a movie based on this true event:
"Strategic Battle"!
Very ironic.

But that was the case with the U.S. military at that time.

The top doesn't care, but the bottom runs amok.

But it was at Spabanos that Major Hendlip decided to start his investigation.

Because of Colonel Dillon's arrogance and domineering attitude.

Because of the "cowardice" of Lieutenant Colonel Charles.

He and Couston were good friends, and he received help from the Couston Foundation when he was studying, and finally became a U.S. military lawyer!
He was very grateful to Cawston.

Lieutenant Colonel Charles is also a good friend of Cawston. Faced with Colonel Dillon's unreasonable and aggressive behavior, he retreated again and again. Although Major Hendlip felt that he was too weak, it also aroused a desire for protection. !

He needed to protect Cawston's friends.

And the most advantageous weapon in his hand is:

law!

To be precise, it is military law!

Apparently he hit a brick wall at Spabanios, though.

Any of his investigations were met with non-violent disobedience by the 19th Cavalry Regiment.

Wherever he wanted to enter, he was blocked by the guarding US military on the grounds of military base.

The people or things he wanted to investigate were rejected by the US military on the grounds of military confidentiality.

He made no progress.

But it is precisely because of this reason that it inspired his ambition even more.

As long as he can find evidence of Colonel Dillon's crime and send Colonel Dillon to a military court, he will become famous in one battle!
"Lieutenant Colonel Charles" Meng Shaoyuan has been silently observing Major Hendlip.

What a driven Major.

However, the major probably didn't know that he was actually invited to the Manila Port by himself.

Yes, Meng Shaoyuan proposed to Couston that he needed a military lawyer.

Keston quickly provided him with a list of lawyers currently in the Philippines that he could find ways to hire and all their detailed information.

After Meng Shaoyuan carefully read the information of these lawyers, he quickly locked on a name:
Hendryp Koeman.

Coleman's father is a lawyer.

And both are very successful lawyers.

One of his last cases was defending a suspect accused of four murders.

The elder Coleman showed his incredible defense skills, accurately grasped a loophole in the prosecution's evidence, and successfully had his client unanimously found not guilty by the jury and released in court.

Facing the tears and angry accusations from the victims' families, the elder Koeman showed no guilt.

He believes that a good lawyer should stand wholeheartedly on the side of his client, regardless of whether the other party has done anything.

However, retribution comes very quickly.

After the trial, old Coleman's young and beautiful wife came to pick him up.

The result happened to be seen by his client.

That night, his client quietly sneaked into the old Coleman's home.

He was discovered by old Coman and fought with him on the spot.

The client was a strong man, beat the elder Coleman to death, and then strangled him to death after raping his wife.

In the end, in order to cover up the evidence, he burned down the old Coleman's house.But he didn't find that there was another survivor:
Hendryp Koeman.

While his father fought with the gangsters, Hendlip hid under the bed in his room.

While setting fire to the house, he escaped through a window.

Hendlip was only seven years old at the time.

But he knew that he could not avenge his parents by himself, and rushing out rashly would only lead to death.

Later, when testifying against criminals, Hendlip pointed to a suspect without hesitation:

"it's him!"

Because when old Coman was a lawyer, he almost offended all his relatives and friends.

Therefore, no one sympathizes with the Koeman family's plight.

As a result, a distant aunt of Hendlip took him in.

At an early age, Hendlip showed his aptitude for the law.

Eventually, he received support from the Cawston Foundation.

Cawston himself is also very optimistic about this young man.

Hendlip was also very proud. After becoming a trainee lawyer, he still insisted on living with his distant aunt and taking care of his only relative in the world.

His aunt, in her old age, was embroiled in a legal battle that she seemed certain to lose.

However, Hendlip relied on his tenacity to find useful evidence for his aunt in the vast amount of information, and finally succeeded in reversing a lawsuit that was destined to be lost.

Cawston always remembers Hendlip holding her aunt's hand after the sentencing and saying:
"In the past, you were the one who took care of me. Now it's my turn to take care of you."

He did not break his vow and stayed with his aunt until the last moment of her life.

He is different from his father.

What he says most often is:
"Criminals are criminals, and all criminals should receive the harshest punishment!"

Therefore, Meng Shaoyuan immediately took a fancy to Hendlip Koeman!
"There are better candidates, more experienced lawyers, why do we have to find him?" Cawston didn't understand it at the time.

"Why? Because judging from his behavior towards his aunt, in addition to repaying kindness, he also has a strong desire to protect and express himself."

Meng Shaoyuan said unhurriedly: "Look, his aunt's case is actually not complicated. His aunt had a conflict with a black man and cursed 'all damn niggas should go to hell'!"
The black man immediately took her to court, and according to the United States' Racial Discrimination Prohibition Act of 1915, his aunt was sentenced to a fine of five dollars.

In fact, this is the smallest penalty the judge can give her. If the fine is only one dollar, I believe the judge will do so without hesitation.Couston, although the United States always talks about protecting human rights and prohibiting racial discrimination, racial discrimination is everywhere in the United States. Her aunt may even be regarded as a victim by white people, right? "

"Yes." Cawston shrugged.

Meng Shaoyuan knew it all too well.

There is a movie "Green Book" that reflects the serious problem of racial discrimination in the United States in the 40s and [-]s.

Although the director tried his best to beautify the final ending and the white driver in this film, in the real society at that time, it would have been even more cruel.People unanimously believe that white people have a high level of education, while black people have no education and should be at the bottom.

Meng Shaoyuan said calmly: "Although he lost five dollars, it did not cause any damage to his aunt's reputation. However, Hendlip decided to defend his aunt not guilty. You know, the time and energy consumed here, And what can ultimately be gained is far beyond a guilty plea.

Why?As I said, in addition to repaying kindness, he also has a desire to protect.After his parents died, all relatives and friends treated Hendlip with a gloating attitude because of his father, which dealt a heavy blow to his young heart.

At this moment, his aunt appeared in time and gave the young Hendlip the greatest protection.This made Hendlip feel grateful and determined to protect his aunt when he grew up.

Combined with his resolute attitude towards fighting criminals, this is actually a strong desire for protection in psychology.This type of person has a strong desire to protect the weak.Anyone he feels is weaker than him is within his protection.

And people who combine this kind of personality have another psychology, which is the desire for expression.They want to tell the people they protect, I have the capital and the ability to protect you.What they need is respect and admiration.

After Hendlip successfully won the lawsuit for his aunt, his mentality has reached its peak, and this character will accompany him throughout his life.And the reason why I chose him is precisely because of his character. "

Coustonhay didn't understand.

Meng Shaoyuan smiled and said: "Because I am a very weak person who needs protection very much."

"you?"

Couston felt incredible, and then laughed and laughed.

you?
A spy who could become the head of the Japanese secret service in Manila, a guy who participated in the Cabanatuan rescue, a hero in the Battle of Manila, how dare you say that you are a weak person who needs protection?
Meng Shaoyuan's request allowed Hendlip to successfully come to Manila!
Therefore, when he first met Major Hendlip, Meng Shaoyuan showed his "weakness"!
Of course, Couston did his homework in advance according to Meng Shaoyuan's requirements.

Along the way, he told Major Hendlip what a great guy Lieutenant Colonel Charles was.

The lieutenant colonel can always complete the tasks assigned by his superiors without hesitation.

Of course, Lieutenant Colonel Charles's childhood life was very miserable.

He was abandoned by his parents since he was a child, and it was through his own struggles that he got to where he is today.

When he was young, he was bullied, which made the lieutenant colonel a bit cowardly.

Originally, Lieutenant Colonel Charles should have been promoted to colonel long ago based on his merits.

However, his promotion was blocked by other more powerful people.

Although, General MacArthur admired him very much.

But there were also people whom General MacArthur could not offend.

Cawston did not specify who this person was that General MacArthur could not offend.

In this way, although he has not met Lieutenant Colonel Charles yet, Major Hendlip has already developed a desire to protect Lieutenant Colonel Charles.

Then, there was the matter about Colonel Dillon's seizure of supplies, which "happened" to be heard by Major Hendlip.

Major Hendlip didn't know that the guy he was facing had nothing to do with "cowardice".

On the contrary, this guy is probably the most despicable and shameless scumbag!

……

"Perhaps we should end the investigation that has made no progress." Meng Shaoyuan sighed: "Coman, this is Dillon's territory. He must have been fully prepared after learning that you were coming. There will not be any As a result, I don’t want you to be involved in this matter, after all, the man standing behind Dillon is Barton!”

"So what?" Major Hendlip said coldly.

"You are too naive, Hendlip." Meng Shaoyuan explained patiently: "General Patton is invincible on the European battlefield. The Ministry of National Defense needs heroes to inspire the people, and Patton is such a hero. If you really touch his Man, have you ever imagined the consequences?”

"Thank you for the reminder, Charles." Major Hendlip said firmly: "I believe in the justice of the law. Anyone who violates the law will be severely punished, no matter who the person is. Even General Patton If he breaks the law, I will bring him to justice. As for Spabanios?"

He sneered and continued: "No matter how well hidden any crime is, there will always be clues. I don't believe that everyone in the 19th Cavalry Regiment is like Dillon. What I firmly believe is that a just person It must exist, we just haven’t found it yet.”

Meng Shaoyuan was silent for a long time, and seemed to have finally made up his mind: "Okay, Hendlip, since you have decided to do this, I will assist you no matter what. Maybe my military rank is higher than yours, but In my heart, you are my friend!"

Major Hendlip smiled, a sincere smile, a smile he showed to gain the trust of a good friend!
