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

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 employees of the Philippine government only eat the same mashed potatoes and Filipinos’ favorite rice.

Occasionally, you can still see a bit of meat and fish.

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 had dealt with Americans many times and knew that these Americans were 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, this is 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."

There is nothing to guess about this. When your young master saw you asking for cigarettes yesterday, he knew that you were running out of shredded tobacco.

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?" Levi asked after pouring the wine, stuffing tobacco into his pipe, lighting it, and taking a nice puff.

"Yes, they haven't left yet." Meng Shaoyuan said: "Of course, they are outside the cordon we set up. Apart from being a little annoying, they have nothing illegal. 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: "Judging from the current situation, 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, so 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 does it mean? Meng Shaoyuan immediately paid attention.

He is a soldier.

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

What does he want to do?

Meng Shaoyuan remained silent, but listened to Levi continue: "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 comprehensive post-war reconstruction of the Philippines, but Osmina has not yet given a reply, although we have

I urged him several times.”

Meng Shaoyuan understood immediately.

The Philippine reconstruction plan submitted by the U.S. government must have sold out a large amount 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 ignored it 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, 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 are very 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 Osmyna 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 have to take responsibility for what he did.

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 take advantage of them, so it depends on who can take advantage of them better.
