Fimino, studied in France.

After returning to China, he immediately joined politics.

But he himself did not have a strong background, especially because he studied in France, and was completely unpopular in the Philippine political arena where the United States was dominant at the time.

Therefore, he has never succeeded.

In a last ditch effort, he joined the Philippine opposition party.

However, the Americans control the Philippine political arena, and the opposition parties describe it as a fictitious matter.

He was even used as a scapegoat by senior members of the opposition party and was arrested and imprisoned four times.

Therefore, he has quite a "fame".

Von Matoran would never take such a small person seriously.

If it had not been for the request of the Americans, von Matoran would have even believed that talking to him would have tarnished his identity.

This was his first time seeing Firmino.

He is in his forties, thin and dark-skinned.

His face and body were not only dirty, but also had a lot of scars.

Firmino is also happy to see the other party for negotiation.

God knows how much suffering he suffered in the twenty years after returning to China.

There is no progress in career.

On the contrary, he was imprisoned four times, and although he was released shortly after being imprisoned each time, the senior leaders of the opposition party only encouraged him lightly, but did not entrust him with important responsibilities at all.

Then, the Americans escaped and the Japanese came.

There is no doubt that Fimino was captured by the Japanese.

Because of his opposition to the party, he was a blessing in disguise and was appointed a minor official by the Japanese.

Before he could achieve success, the Americans landed on Luzon Island again.

As a result, these officials were held as hostages.

The Japanese are not polite at all.

Firmino was lucky enough to find an opportunity and run away.

Since the Battle of Manila broke out, he has been hiding in Tibet. It was not until Malacañang was recaptured that he saw hope.

However, riots and deaths occurred immediately.

It should be said that although he has made no achievements in the political arena, he still has rich experience after being together for so long.

He keenly grasped the opportunity immediately.

The war will soon end in Manila.

Post-war reconstruction must be a top priority.

There is a lot of waste waiting to be done, and there are a lot of vacancies in the new government.

This is your best chance.

But this time, he must firmly grasp it and improve his status in the eyes of the people.

So he told those Filipinos that fierce resistance would only cause greater casualties.

He would lead them in sit-ins and get the results they wanted.

At this time, these Filipinos were helpless and panicked. They needed someone to step up and lead them.

This is how Fimino gained the trust of these people.

He didn't expect that the other party's negotiator would arrive so quickly.

This made him somewhat complacent.

"Disband immediately."

Von Matoran said as soon as they met: "This is Malacañang Palace, where the new government is about to be established. By doing this, you are discrediting the new government and the entire Philippines!"

New government?

so fast?

Fimino was greatly moved, and he vowed that he would never let this great opportunity slip away: "Sir, I refuse. You must know what terrible things happened here. A Filipino died.

, and he just wanted a bite to eat.

Sir, this is the Philippines of the Philippines, not the Philippines of the Americans or the Japanese. We need the US military to give us an explanation, apology, and compensation."

You are crazy.

Von Matoran was sure of this, but he held back his disdain and displeasure and said: "Tell me, what are you going to do?"

Fimino cheered up: "To punish the murderer, the US military commander must apologize to us in public, bury the body, and compensate the family to ensure that similar incidents will never happen again.

At the same time, all Filipino refugees here must be properly resettled and provided with living security."

He actually knows in his heart that an apology and compensation are simply impossible for Americans.

If the Americans can distribute some food, then this sit-in demonstration with its own leadership can be regarded as a success.

After all, surviving is the most important thing.

And this can also be regarded as one's own merit.

You may even be regarded as a hero!

"I refuse!" Unexpectedly, von Matoran didn't even consider it: "I will not agree to any of your requests."

So direct?

This is something Firmino didn't expect at all.

"Sir, who do you represent?" Fimino couldn't help but raise his voice: "Our people are dead, don't you feel sad at all?"

"I don't have any sadness." Von Matoran said in a cold voice: "That's not a Filipino, that's a thug. I won't shed a tear for the thug.

The US military fought bloody battles for the freedom of the Philippines, but these thugs tried to kill the heroic US soldiers, which is intolerable. He should be lucky to be dead, otherwise, he will definitely be severely punished by the law!"

Fimino was stunned.

Things were not at all what he imagined.

Of course, what the other party said was not wrong. These people did initiate a riot.

He took a deep breath: "Sir, we can wait until the future to conduct a detailed investigation on this matter. But have you seen these people behind me? They have been hungry for too long, and they are dying.

Struggling online, they are all your compatriots, sir.

Therefore, I beg you to allow the US military to distribute some food. Their requirements are not high, as long as they can survive."

This is Firmino's final bottom line.

As long as he can get some food for these people, he will be considered a success.

The problem is that von Matoran has been in the political arena for so long and has rich experience. He is already an old fox. How could he not see what Fimino is thinking?

Moreover, he could be sure that Fimino felt guilty.

Also, when Fimino talks about "them", he is quietly drawing a clear line between himself and those Filipinos.

Therefore, he sneered and said: "I also rejected this request. The food of the US military belongs to the US military, and it is combat food. Are you going to let the US military give food to you people who have no fighting ability, and let ours

Allies, are you going to fight the Japanese on an empty stomach?

You are all civilians. You have no combat missions. It’s okay to be hungry. Moreover, you can find food by yourself. Manila is so big, is it really impossible to find any food? No, I don’t think that’s the case. It’s just

You are lazy, you are unwilling to pay and only think about taking.

Until the end of the war, I will not agree to any of your unreasonable demands. At the same time, I also ask you to disband these people immediately and not to bring any bad influence to the new government that is about to be formed. Remember, this
