Chapter 3346 Dirty City

General MacArthur was in an excellent mood.

The U.S. military's offensive on Luzon Island has become irresistible.

All the remaining Japanese troops can do now is to hold on in Luzon.

He will soon become a great hero in the eyes of everyone in the Philippines.

When I evacuated in embarrassment, I said, "I will definitely come back."

And now, he is finally going to fulfill this promise!

"Douglas."

Just when MacArthur was complacent, Tian Qi walked in.

Here, only Peter Lin can call Douglas that.

"Hey, Peter." MacArthur took out a box of cigars and said, "You smoke this."

Tian Qi took one out without hesitation, lit it, and took a nice sip: "There's good news, Douglas, do you want to hear it?"

"Aha, there is so much good news now." MacArthur smiled broadly: "Of course, I am still happy to hear the good news you said."

Tian Qi seemed to be casual: "Cushing."

Cushing?

MacArthur was startled and immediately asked: "Is there any news about Cushing?"

Although Cushing was only a small figure, he was extremely important to MacArthur.

MacArthur was arrogant, but he cherished his face extremely and absolutely did not want such a big scandal to be made public to the world.

"Yes."

Tian Qi took out a bunch of things from his pocket and placed them in front of MacArthur.

Those are several telegrams.

When MacArthur picked it up and looked at it, he was overjoyed.

Yes, it was the telegram I sent to Cushing before!

Every portion is in front of you!

"Peter, Peter." MacArthur picked up the lighter and lit the telegrams: "I knew you would be able to do it."

"Ah, I didn't do it." Tian Qi said casually: "It was Charles."

"Charles, it's Charles again." MacArthur nodded slightly: "You said before that if you leave anything to Charles, he can always do it perfectly. You are right, this is a magical guy."

"So, promoting him to colonel may be too low."

After Tian Qiyi finished speaking, MacArthur immediately said: "Yes, I was a little worried about handing over Manila to him before, but obviously, these worries are not necessary."

Tian Qi smiled: "However, I heard that the relationship between Osmina and Charles is not very harmonious."

"Those Filipinos." MacArthur sneered: "During the battle to recapture Manila, Colonel Charles fought bravely and fought through life and death. Only then did Manila successfully recover. Now that there is temporary peace, have they forgotten these kindnesses?"

Deep down in his heart, he looked down on these Filipinos at all.

At this time, the phone on the desk rang, and Peter picked up: "Yes, okay, wait a moment."

As he spoke, he covered the phone: "There is an old saying in China, when it comes to Cao Cao, Cao Cao is here. Osmina's call."

MacArthur took the call.

He actually came to complain.

The target of the complaint was none other than Colonel Charles, whom MacArthur had praised so much just now.

On the other end of the phone, Osmina complained full of resentment. Colonel Charles ignored Manila's reconstruction plan and made things difficult at every turn, causing the entire Manila work to reach a point where progress could not be made.

If this continues, Manila's future development will not be guaranteed at all!

Originally, in MacArthur's heart, he looked down on these Filipinos at all, and the target of Osmina's complaint was actually Colonel Charles!

That was something MacArthur greatly admired and was grateful for.

"That's enough, Mr. President."

MacArthur interrupted the other party coldly.

In his heart, no matter what the Americans, especially Colonel Charles, do, they must be justified.

The mistake must be on the Filipino side.

If Osmina were in this office now, then he would definitely see MacArthur's ugly and angry expression:

"Mr. President, everything Colonel Charles did was with my consent."

On the other end of the phone, Osmina was completely stunned.

But before he could react, MacArthur continued: "Mr. President, Colonel Charles is the security and defense commander of Manila. He is responsible for all security matters in Manila. Anyone, including Mr. President and the Provisional Government,

No interference is allowed inside.

Of course, Colonel Charles will not easily interfere in Manila's political affairs, so Mr. President does not need to worry about this."

After saying that, he hung up the phone unceremoniously and complained: "These damn Filipinos!"

telegraph!

The telegram I was most worried about came back.

And this is all the result of Colonel Charles.

As for that Cushing?

MacArthur didn't care about Cushing's life or death at all.

…

"Tianqi's call came just now, and Osmina's call was indeed sent to MacArthur." Meng Shaoyuan smiled contemptuously.

This was what he had expected.

If he had blocked Durkom's throat, he would definitely run to Osmina and complain.

And what can Osmina do?

MacArthur.

What else could he do besides MacArthur?

Meng Shaoyuan knew that MacArthur would never stand on his side.

With Tian Qi there, and with his illustrious military exploits in the past, Meng Shaoyuan certainly didn't have to worry.

But he must add another layer of insurance to himself.

Those were the telegrams that Cushing had in his possession.

He knew that the telegram in Cushing's hand would make MacArthur lose face, but it would not cause fatal harm to him at all.

And the longer it goes, the less valuable those telegrams become.

In this case, it’s better to leave it to yourself and let yourself do the favors.

This trick really worked.

"What is MacArthur's opinion?" Li Zhifeng asked from the side.

"All security-related matters in Manila have been handed over to Colonel Charles." Meng Shaoyuan smiled at the corner of his mouth: "So, I think we need to give President Osmina and Mayor Durkom a good education.

Lesson learned."

After saying that, he looked at Li Zhifeng with a stern look: "Lieutenant Henry."

Li Zhifeng was startled for a moment before he realized that he was calling him: "Why am I still just a lieutenant?"

"Lieutenant Henry, do your best, and I will promote you." Meng Shaoyuan said with a smile: "You and Second Lieutenant Turl, go and add some color to Manila with Mayor Durcombe."

…

Manila is gradually recovering.

Includes medical facilities.

During the Battle of Manila, several hospitals were almost completely destroyed.

And medicines are almost exhausted.

But the war eventually ended.

The charity organization re-established a temporary hospital in a somewhat intact place in Manila, mainly serving the ordinary people of Manila.

After the provisional constitutional government of the Philippines was established, the charity organization handed over this temporary hospital to the Filipinos.

Like Osmeña, Durkom is only an interim mayor.

After the Philippines is fully restored, general elections will be held soon.
