"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. Ever since he entered Spabanios, he has been observing his surroundings.

Compared to the period of Japanese rule and war, Spabanos has shown signs of recovery.

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

"This is all thanks to the great United States."

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.

It seemed that something happened to two American troops and they kicked a local man to the ground.

This is actually a completely normal thing.

This local may have offended the US military, maybe there was a problem with the conversation, or maybe 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 is completely violating military discipline and damaging the image of the U.S. military.

Meng Shaoyuan said nothing, but 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.

Many local women would 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.

Many women will approach them because not only are they American soldiers, but they also drive 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 was not much expression on Dillon's face.

Recently, there have been too many things that bother me.

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 there is some misunderstanding between us, Colonel." Meng Shaoyuan said straight to the point: "I found that many vehicles driving out of Manila Port recently have passes signed by me, but without exception, they all stopped in Spabanos.

It was seized."

"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, there are some situations that need to be treated differently. The Port of Manila is in the midst of a difficult recovery. We lack money and everything, but we must

We want those Filipinos to serve us.

So, for some things that seem to be forbidden, 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 was kind-hearted, he still broke the rules. Regarding the Lieutenant Colonel's acquiescence, I will report it to his superiors.

.”

Only then did Colonel Dillon reveal a 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 sees 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, that is indeed the case.

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 be that all of it was really turned over?

If you sell it on the spot, you will be able to leave a large sum for yourself, apart from what you have divided.

Colonel Dillon knew that given 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 retirement?

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

He has 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 Spabanos? No, you are wrong.

I admit that there is smuggling in Spabanos, but I have carried out the most severe crackdown."

"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 be investigated on the spot. What do you think, Colonel?"

Colonel Dillon said nothing more.
