Chapter 3279 Sit-in Petition

There were US troops everywhere, and cordons were set up on the spot, and the refugees could not get close at all.

Some Filipino refugees once tried to get closer, but were immediately shouted at and threatened by the US military, who even raised their guns.

The U.S. military received orders to shoot and disperse if dissuasion failed.

Everything is for the establishment of the new Philippine government.

But in the eyes of Filipinos, is this the Malacañang Palace of the Philippines or the Malacañang Palace of the Americans?

The most difficult part is probably meal time.

The food of those American soldiers is really good.

Everything you need.

Filipinos can only watch from a distance.

They swallowed heavily and endured unbearable hunger, hoping that the American soldiers would be kind and give them a bite to eat.

But they were disappointed.

Compared with the overseas Chinese on Knighting Street, their fate is undoubtedly tragic.

The overseas Chinese refugees on Knighting Street have received the most appropriate arrangements.

Food, housing, medical care, one person all helped them think of it:

Meng Shaoyuan!

But it's different here.

Meng Shaoyuan had no obligation to take care of these Filipinos.

Moreover, not only would he not take care of him, but he would also provoke conflicts between Filipinos and Americans.

Therefore, in a precise sense, these Filipinos are just victims.

On the second day, the dissatisfaction finally broke out.

That was during the American meal.

Filipinos can no longer stand hunger.

A dozen brave Filipinos began to approach the cordon.

Then, more people joined in.

People who knew English taught them English and they all said the same thing:

"We want to eat, we want to eat!"

This immediately alerted Americans.

"Alert, alert!"

At the sound of Second Lieutenant Ter's voice, the American soldiers who were preparing to eat immediately picked up their weapons and stood together with the officers on duty.

"We want to eat, we want to eat!"

The Filipinos are still getting closer.

Second Lieutenant Terr took over the trumpet: "Stop moving forward immediately. Repeat it again. Stop moving forward immediately. Otherwise, we will be forced to use all force! Final warning, we will use all force!"

But driven by hunger, these people completely ignored Lieutenant Terre's warning.

"Prepare to disperse!"

Second Lieutenant Terr gave the order coldly.

Shooting is unnecessary and may cause trouble.

"No shooting allowed, I repeat, no use of force other than shooting is allowed!"

Filipinos, finally arrived.

More than twenty people.

And behind them, there are more Filipinos.

Once it is broken through by these twenty people, it will definitely cause an even greater chain reaction.

"start!"

Following Lieutenant Tell's order, the American soldiers began to move!

Gun butts and wooden sticks fell one after another.

The screams suddenly sounded.

The Filipinos were knocked to the ground, and the moans could not be heard.

At this moment, an accident occurred.

A strong Filipino got entangled with an American soldier and tried to seize his weapons.

In desperation, the American soldier drew his bayonet and stabbed him.

The Filipino staggered back a few steps and saw blood pouring out of a blood hole in his chest.

He glanced at the American army in disbelief, and then fell softly to the ground.

Killed!

Everyone stopped moving.

Terror, fear, despair.

With a "boom", the crowd dispersed.

Those who were defeated by the US military also struggled and crawled desperately to leave this terrible place.

Americans really kill people!

In fact, the American soldier who committed the murder was also a little helpless.

He didn't expect this at all.

How he drew the bayonet and how he thrust it out, he could not remember at all.

Second Lieutenant Terr couldn't help but frown.

If they were just beaten and dispersed, it would be nothing.

But now there are lives lost.

I don’t know if Lieutenant Colonel Charles will blame himself for this incident.

…

"Really, someone is dead?"

Meng Shaoyuan, who was tasting red wine there, looked careless.

"Yes, someone is dead."

Lieutenant Tell told the story of what happened.

"It's not the soldier's fault."

Meng Shaoyuan said calmly: "It is intolerable for the Filipinos to attempt to seize weapons. I think it is completely understandable that our soldiers, in order to protect their weapons and their own lives, would do such a thing."

Second Lieutenant Terr let out a long sigh of relief.

He knew that the Lieutenant Colonel would definitely protect them.

"Bury that body. Although they are all a group of criminals, we are still merciful after all."

Meng Shaoyuan never thought that he would say such words.

Things progressed more smoothly than I imagined.

Someone actually died.

This will definitely arouse serious dissatisfaction and even protests among Filipinos.

The founding ceremony of the new Philippine government is coming soon.

No one can control what will happen by then.

"Lieutenant Colonel."

Captain William, who was responsible for surveying the scene, came back: "The situation is relatively stable at present, but there is a new situation. Those Filipinos began to sit in protest outside our cordon."

"Oh, really?" Meng Shaoyuan frowned.

Captain William said: "They didn't do anything drastic, they just sat there. I also went to negotiate with them, but they only made two requests. One was for food, and the other was who wanted to punish those who killed Filipinos?

murderer."

"This is organized."

Meng Shaoyuan immediately made a judgment: "This person is among those Filipinos."

Obviously, Filipinos now know that using violence and begging will not only fail to get what they want, but will actually cause them disaster.

So, they changed their approach.

But just relying on those refugees would not have thought of this.

Nonviolent sit-in petition?

"Lieutenant Colonel, I'm afraid this matter is a bit tricky." Captain William whispered: "Tomorrow, the preliminary inspection team of the new Philippine government will arrive. I'm afraid, this is not a glorious thing."

"Captain, what does this have to do with us?" Meng Shaoyuan suddenly smiled and said: "These are all things caused by the Filipinos. I think it is better to leave the Filipinos' problems to be solved by the Filipinos themselves.

Especially when the new government is about to be established, at this time, letting their staff handle the matter properly can also highlight their working ability, right, Captain?"

Captain William understood immediately: "Yes, we just need to make sure those people don't cause trouble. Colonel, I think it is really a pleasure to work with you."

"But I'm not happy at all." Meng Shaoyuan sighed and said, "I have a headache every day!"
