On February 23, 1945, the U.S. military launched a fierce attack on the old city of Manila, the last stronghold of Japanese resistance.

This is the final battle in Manila.

The United States opened the way with artillery fire and advanced steadily.

But centuries of stone walls, underground aqueducts, the Santa Lucia Military Camp, the gates of Fort Santiago and the valley provided good cover for the defenders.

The battle has entered a fierce stage.

Before the war ended, MacArthur asked members of the Philippine cabinet to go to Maclanang Palace and announce the re-establishment of the Philippine constitutional government.

At the same time, MacArthur appointed Lieutenant Colonel Charles as the commander of Malacañang Palace to unified command of the local U.S. and Philippine troops.

Levi was the plenipotentiary representative of the U.S. government, supervising and assisting the establishment of the Philippine constitutional government.

With the battle still raging in the old city and the outcome unknown, MacArthur, who was overjoyed with his victory, issued a statement:

"Our country keeps the faith. Our capital has been restored and it will become the freest city in the Far East!"

Journalists published his speech in newspapers.

As a result, many people believed that Manila had been recovered.

In fact, the Battle of Manila is entering its final and most brutal stage!

On February 24, a mysterious delegation arrived in Manila.

The team was led by an old acquaintance of Meng Shaoyuan's when he visited the United States, a famous financier in New York:

Clint Cawston!

And coming with him was Meng Shaoyuan's most loyal follower, his early spokesperson in the United States:

Julia Meng——Peng Bilan!

Peng Bilan tried her best to control her emotions, but tears were clearly shining in her eyes.

Finally met the boss.

The boss is still alive!

The boss is still the same boss, just darker and thinner.

She will tell the sisters in the United States as soon as possible:

Boss, right in Manila!

"Charles, Charles, it's really you!"

Coston hugged Meng Shaoyuan vigorously: "When Peter quietly told me that Lieutenant Colonel Charles, who participated in the Cabanatuan rescue and the recapture of Manila, was my good friend Charles in the United States, I couldn't believe it.

.But now? God, it’s really you, how did you do it?”

That's right, who would have thought that the true identity of the lieutenant colonel of the US Army Raider Battalion who has repeatedly achieved military exploits in Manila is actually a mysterious rich man from the Far East?

Meng Shaoyuan glanced at Peng Bilan, shook his head slightly, and told her to control her emotions. Then, he turned to Coston and said, "Why not? Only by personally participating in the adventure can you know what post-war Manila needs and participate in post-war Manila."

is being rebuilt!”

He knows it too well.

Coston is apparently a successful financier and investor.

But in fact, he is the spokesperson of the big conglomerates in the United States.

The war has come to an end.

Now, it's time to seize the benefits.

Victory is won with the blood of soldiers.

And profit?

Leave it to those big consortiums!

The reconstruction of the Philippines has nothing to do with the Philippines!

Couston was very happy.

When he knew that Lieutenant Colonel Charles was his partner, Charles Meng, he was already sure that his mission would become extremely easy.

Charles must already have all the information about the Philippines.

And they are business partners, and their interests are tied together.

Among the funds he manages, there is also a huge investment from Charles Meng.

There is no stronger and more unbreakable relationship than this kind of cooperation.

"As soon as I came here, I was anxious to see you. Fortunately, Peter had already arranged everything. I didn't even go to see Mr. Levi."

After sitting down, Couston said: "Charles, when we first met in the United States, you told me that you were serving in a large organization in China. This organization has tens of thousands of staff and... There are hundreds of thousands of armed members.

So, we did some background checks and finally learned that you are a great person in China. You can even be said to be a legend."

Meng Shaoyuan smiled.

From the first time he met Couston in the United States, he had no intention of concealing his identity because there was no way to conceal it.

"Japan's public enemy, the most powerful agent on the surface, Meng Shaoyuan. Then, there is Charles Meng." Couston continued: "When I learned about your death in the United States, I didn't believe it at all, and I can be sure that you Still alive and well."

"Oh, why?" Meng Shaoyuan was a little curious.

"You are a legend, and you are also a successful businessman." Couston said slowly: "A good businessman will never put all his money on the line, they will always find a way out for themselves.

When Julia introduced me to the ladies and entourage when you arrived in the United States, I knew that my judgment was correct. The great United States is the retreat you have long thought of."

Fart your greatness.

If it weren't for the fact that the young master couldn't stay in China any longer, he would have gone to the United States.

However, Meng Shaoyuan kept a smile on his face.

Couston continued: "Actually, not only me, but some officials in your government will also guess that you are not dead, but this has nothing to do with them. As long as you are no longer in China, you are dead. That legendary agent , no longer exists.”

"You are right." Meng Shaoyuan said: "As long as I am alive, I am a threat to many people, so I must die. Even if they know that I am in the United States, they will not dare to do anything because I have them in my hands. Too much dirty deal stuff.

What’s interesting is that if someone goes to Chongqing now and tells everyone loudly that Meng Shaoyuan is still alive, do you know what the result will be?”

"He will be regarded as a madman, and he will disappear mysteriously." Couston quickly gave the answer: "I can even say that even if you admit in public that you are still alive, you will be regarded as a madman."

"Yes, this is my sorrow, and it is also the sorrow of that government." Meng Shaoyuan sighed.

"Okay, Charles, let this sad thing go away." Cawston comforted: "I don't think you will always wear this military uniform. When you decide that Lieutenant Colonel Charles should also

When you disappear, I will give you all the help you can."

That's the joy of working with someone like Cawston.

They are cunning, cold-blooded, cruel and ruthless, and they will destroy all forces that stand in their way.

But in the face of huge commercial interests, they will unite closely in everything.

Yes, Lieutenant Colonel Charles will disappear.

Just like the legendary agent died.

And with the help of Cawston, who has the full support of a large financial group behind him, everything will become easy.

"Aside from the inspection, do you have any questions about Osmina?"

Meng Shaoyuan revealed the true purpose of Coston's visit.
