"Who, Sandy?"

Colonel Dillon thought he had heard wrongly.

That's his sister Sandy.

Yes, Colonel Dillon has a sister, but they are not on good terms.

His sister was divorced twice.

When Sandy got married for the third time, Colonel Dillon didn't even attend.

And now, he actually heard his sister's name in Manila.

"Yes, Colonel, Sandy." The man named Malit said flatteringly: "These are all Sandy's goods, or to be more precise, they include her investment.

Sandy once said that if anything happens in Manila, she can go to her brother, you, Colonel."

Colonel Dillon understood.

My sister does not have the capital to engage in smuggling business.

The so-called partner is nothing more than finding out about him, and then dragging her along to do the so-called business, all because of the identity of her brother.

Dillon frowned.

Although and

Even though she has a bad relationship with Sandy, she is his sister after all.

If Sandy asked him to do something, he might refuse.

but now?

I heard that the environment in Sandy's family was very poor, and her third husband was an alcoholic. Sandy lived a very difficult life with her four children.

When he thought of this, Dillon sighed deeply.

Immediately, his face straightened: "Don't do anything that damages the local area."

"Yes, sir, yes." Mallet said quickly.

…

This young man named Meng Zhejun is younger than Sarni.

Sarni finally accepted the gift:

An exquisite handmade hairpin.

We are all young people, so we have some similar hobbies and topics.

Sarny never left Spabanios all his life.

But Meng Zhejun is well-informed.

He told Sarny how beautiful and prosperous Manila was once, not far from Spabanos.

He also said that the Philippines is actually very small, and there are many countries around it.

One of the largest countries is called China. This country is so desirable.

From Meng Zhejun's mouth, Sarni heard many things that she had never heard before.

She couldn't interrupt at all, and she didn't want to interrupt. She just liked the feeling of being a quiet listener.

Hearing that Meng Zhejun knew so much, Sarni admired this man who was younger than him.

But the time to go back is coming.

Colonel Dillon is a bad-tempered fellow.

If he doesn't see Sarni when he goes back, he will definitely beat her.

"Really, you're leaving?" Upon hearing this, Meng Zhejun was reluctant to leave.

"Yeah." Sarni nodded silently.

"All right."

Meng Zhejun suddenly asked: "Are you free tomorrow?"

Before Sarni could answer, Meng Zhejun said: "I'm driving. Tomorrow, I'll drive you to places outside Spabanos."

Sarni hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded.

…

A friend brought by Couston for Meng Shaoyuan.

Major Hendlip.

A lawyer in the U.S. Army.

And he used to be the assistant to Colonel Elvitt, a U.S. military lawyer.

Elvit?

Holy shit!

Of course, it was impossible for Meng Shaoyuan to know a U.S. Army colonel he had never met before.

But the problem is, this Colonel Elvitt is famous.

There are even American TV series based on him.

He is famous because he personally participated in the defense of Nazi officers.

In the Battle of the Ardennes that began in December 1944, the U.S. military suffered heavy casualties. The German head of state regarded this battle as a fateful battle.

Norman, who was in the first division of the army, was 19 years old. He had been exposed to internal education since he was a child, and he was very excited.

Because this year, Germany has been shrinking, retreating, and surrendering on both the east and west fronts.

"This time I finally got a taste of attacking for seven consecutive days. It was really exciting."

He is a member of Combat Group Pipe of the 1st Division. The commander of this group is the youngest colonel in Germany, Jochen Pipe.

During the Battle of the Ardennes, he captured some Americans and committed the confusing Malmedy Massacre.

The case is so complicated that the truth remains unknown until the trial is concluded.

One is motivation.

Why kill?

Some interrogators said that some of the prisoners were making a commotion and wanted to escape, so the guards opened fire.

Others say that the troops were advancing rapidly at this time, and it was a waste of time to hold the captives, so it would be better to kill them.

According to Piper's own statement, Shangfeng verbally issued the order "no survivors alive" before the battle.

The second is the number of people.

Some sources say that more than 150 people were killed;

Some say that 82 people were killed and more than 50 people escaped.

But what is certain is that this massacre occurred, and many people were shot in the head.

After investigation, it was clear that this was a supplementary shot to those who were not killed at one time.

Is there anything worse than massacring prisoners of war and re-gunning them?

Therefore, although the truth of the matter was unclear for a while, it did not prevent 43 of the 74 defendants, including Piper, from being sentenced to death.

22 people, including Dietrich, the commander of the Party's Sixth Armored Army, were sentenced to life imprisonment.

The others were sentenced to more than 10 years in prison.

The death penalty was iron-clad, but it was not carried out.

This is all thanks to defense attorneys such as Colonel Elvitt.

As an American, Colonel Elvitt is only loyal to the law and ignores justice.

During the investigation, he discovered that Piper and others were tortured to extract confessions, and according to the law, such testimony should not be accepted.

When procedural justice does not exist, substantive justice will be greatly compromised.

This matter was also brought to the U.S. Congress, and the result of the Senate review was that the judgment should be overturned because "unjust means cannot be used in a just trial."

Although everyone knows that many American prisoners of war were indeed killed, in the end except for one who died due to illegal means during interrogation, everyone else survived.

Because of this, after learning of the death sentence, Piper, who thought he was about to be executed, wrote a letter to Elvitt, which stated:

"Before we part, I want to thank you for all the help you have given us as people, soldiers, and defense attorneys over the past eight weeks. It was you and McCown who kept me going during a time when I was at my deepest disillusionment with humanity.

Regained a lot of faith I had lost…

Only a chivalrous man like yourself can restore peace and restore the tense relationship between our two countries."

Colonel Elvitt became famous all over the world because of this case.

The Major Hendlip in front of him is actually his assistant?

"Major, you are most welcome to Manila."

"Thank you, Lieutenant Colonel."

Hendlip said politely: "Just two weeks ago, I was still in Europe, but some legal professionals were needed to come to the Philippines to help them rebuild the legal order, and I was one of them."
