"This is an amazing miracle."

MacArthur put down the phone and said in disbelief: "The Ranger Battalion really captured Malacañang without wasting a single bullet."

"I said, their commander, Major Charles, will definitely be able to do it." Tian Qi said calmly.

"Charles, that guy who played a very important role in rescuing prisoners of war." MacArthur immediately remembered: "And, he and his Ranger battalion were the first to enter Manila and persist in fighting until now?"

"Yes, Douglas."

"I want to give him a commendation, yes, a commendation." MacArthur said with satisfaction: "He gave me a surprise. When my soldiers used cannons to destroy Manila, he was the only one who ensured the maximum security of Malacañang Palace.

of completeness!”

"Because Charles said that this is an order from His Excellency the General, and he must execute it."

Tian Qi knew that this was the time for him to speak for the young master.

"Oh, yes, he said that?"

"Yes, General." Tian Qi said lightly: "He is the same as me. We resolutely obey the orders of our superiors. Likewise, he is also full of admiration for Your Majesty the General."

When Tian Qi said these words, he felt a little sick.

What kind of person is the young master?

He is plotting against the Americans and MacArthur all the time.

"Then he deserves my trust." MacArthur said with great interest.

"However, Your Majesty General, this is all your credit." Tian Qi said: "If it weren't for your order, we would definitely launch a storm. Then, as the historic Malacañang Palace in Manila, it would definitely suffer a terrible attack.

destroy.

It is precisely because of your order that Charles used his brains and resolutely carried out your order. Please believe me, Douglas, Manila will remember your great achievements."

This compliment touched MacArthur's heart: "Is that Charles a major?"

"Yes, general." Tian Qi nodded: "And it's not official yet, it's a temporary military rank. Before, he was my intelligence officer."

"No, a person like him deserves a formal military rank." MacArthur made a decision: "From now on, he is the lieutenant colonel of the Sixth Army, appointed by me personally."

good!

Meng Shaoyuan transformed into a real US military officer.

Moreover, he was promoted from major to lieutenant colonel.

MacArthur took over all the power.

During the battle to recapture Manila, he promoted a large number of officers on the battlefield.

Meng Shaoyuan is just one of them.

At this moment, Meng Shaoyuan truly became a U.S. Army lieutenant colonel:

Lieutenant Colonel Charles!

Not only that, MacArthur also ordered that the company commanded by Lieutenant William will be separated from the 6th Ranger Battalion of Lieutenant Colonel Musi and merged with Company F commanded by Lieutenant Nate to form the 9th Raider Battalion of the Sixth Army.

Commander, Lieutenant Colonel Charles!

The mission of the 9th Raider Battalion is to build a defense line on the Malacañang Palace to ensure the arrival of members of the new Philippine government and be responsible for their safety.

At the same time, on the day the new government is established, Meng Shaoyuan and his raider battalion will be responsible for all security issues.

"Tell Osmena that the heroic American soldiers have captured Malacañang Palace."

MacArthur's tone was somewhat arrogant: "Members of his new government can enter Malacañang Palace!"

This is all the credit of Americans and ourselves.

Those Filipinos, with infinite gratitude and infinite loyalty to the U.S. government and themselves!

…

He actually became a serious U.S. Army lieutenant colonel?

And he independently commanded a battalion?

Meng Shaoyuan never dreamed of it.

Lieutenant William also received a promotion.

Now, he should be called Captain William.

All this was brought about by Major Charles, no, Lieutenant Colonel Charles.

Captain William knew this very well.

Therefore, he works very hard when doing things.

As for offense and defense, Meng Shaoyuan was definitely not an expert in this area.

Captain William was responsible for all this.

However, when it comes to security defense, he is an expert among experts.

All possible hidden dangers have been properly arranged by him in advance.

A large amount of supplies have been delivered.

Many of them will be needed on the day the new government is established.

There are also supplies for the Raider Battalion.

"Major, William, hey, we can be together again."

Lieutenant Nate arrived with Company F.

"Hey, Nate, Charles is now a lieutenant colonel." Captain William had to remind him.

"Ah, I'm so sorry, Lieutenant Colonel." Lieutenant Nate looked a little regretful: "I really should have fought side by side with you, otherwise, like William, I could have become a captain."

"There are plenty of opportunities, Nate." Meng Shaoyuan said with a smile: "Now, the defense of Malacañang requires you and your mortars. Set up all the mortars. If you see any Japanese, shell them immediately.

!”

"Yes, Lieutenant Colonel."

"Lieutenant Colonel, some locals are gathering." At this time, Second Lieutenant Terl came over to report: "They are all former refugees. Now that they heard that Malacañang Palace has been recaptured, they all showed up and begged us to take them in.

"

Local people?

Meng Shaoyuan immediately changed his mind.

Of course you can take them in and provide them with food.

But doing so will only make them grateful to the US military and the new government.

This was tantamount to helping the Americans strengthen their colonial rule over the Philippines.

Why do you do this?

Not only cannot this be done, but on the contrary, it will cause trouble for the Americans and the new government.

"No." Meng Shaoyuan flatly refused: "The new Philippine government is about to be established, and we must avoid all security risks. Let them leave here immediately. There may be Japanese spies and assassins hidden among them."

"Yes, Lieutenant Colonel." Second Lieutenant Terr asked again: "Do you need to give them some food?"

"No." Meng Shaoyuan said coldly: "I will not fund Ken's enemies until the threat is completely eliminated."

"Okay, Lieutenant Colonel." Second Lieutenant Terr turned around and carried out the order.

"Lieutenant Colonel, how should we deal with the Filipinos who are coming?" Captain William couldn't help but asked: "I have no experience in dealing with government officials."

"Just do your job, Captain."

Meng Shaoyuan said without thinking: "There is no need to pay special attention to these Filipinos. All arriving people must be strictly inspected to prevent Japanese spies among them.

With Malacañang as the center and a radius of three miles, no strange faces are allowed to appear. Once they appear, after the warning has been ineffective, shooting is allowed. I repeat, shooting is allowed."

"Understood, Lieutenant Colonel."
