Chapter 3139 Family First

Chapter 3139 Family First

"I'm very curious, Mr. Yanes."

Meng Shaoyuan asked unhurriedly: "You have been serving Quezon and Osmina all the time. After changing your name to Karlberg, has no one recognized you?"

Immediately, he seemed to warn the other party there again: "Mr. Yanes, I hope that our relationship with each other is honest. I don't want you to have secrets that I don't know when we cooperate."

"Okay, sir, I'll tell you all about it."

Yanes was silent there for a while, and finally said:

"After Manila was taken, I was not told to evacuate and I was terrified with my wife and children. I knew what would happen to someone like me if they were caught.

And, as you can probably understand, we generally don’t carry any money with us, but keep it with my assistant. Unfortunately, when Manila was occupied, my assistant was killed.

I needed to live, and I had to support my family, so to be safe, I moved out of the place I used to live and rented a small, dark room with the little money I had left.

I need to find a job as soon as possible, but the only way I can earn a living is if I know Japanese and English.

At that time, a new government was formed in Manila, and I was looking for staff there, so I decided to take a risk and try my luck.But apparently, I was out of luck and met Laurel on the first day! "

Jose Paciano Laurel!

Laurel, the pseudo-president of the Second Philippine Republic supported by the Japanese authorities!

"Before, he was the Attorney General of the Philippines and met me many times. He was later appointed as the chairman of the 'Independence Preparatory Committee'. I knew he must have recognized me. I was terrified at the time."

When saying these words, Yanes was still terrified: "It's strange that Laurel just glanced at me and didn't say anything. But I still decided to give up applying for the job and stop taking risks for myself and my family."

However, when he was about to leave, someone quietly stopped him and took him to a place.

Yanes' first thought was that he was finished.

To his surprise, it was not the Japanese who greeted him, but Laurel.

Laurel told him not to be afraid, he would not expose Yanes' identity, and would protect him.

Sure enough, Laurel kept his promise.

Not only did he not disclose Yanes' identity, but he also helped him find a low-level, but easy and safe job in the Ministry of the Interior.

Hearing this, Meng Shaoyuan completely understood.

Likewise, Laurel is setting himself back.

During the Japanese colonial period, Laurel, who was the president of the so-called Second Philippine Republic, was the number one Filipino traitor in the Philippines.

But thinking about it differently, the Philippine President Quezon during the American colonial period was not a Filipino traitor?

There is essentially no difference between them.

Laurel helped Yanes hide and find a job, just with a little effort.

And while he helped Yanes, he also helped himself.

And, Laurel must have helped more than just Yanes.

What he did, also saved himself.

Before the U.S. counterattacked the Philippines, Laurel secretly left Manila and fled back to the mainland.

Before Japan's defeat, Laurel was exiled in Nara, Japan, with the help of Fufumi Yamashita.

After Japan's defeat, Laurel announced the dissolution of the government of the so-called Philippine Republic.

Subsequently, he was arrested by MacArthur's occupation authorities and imprisoned in Sugamo Prison.

But just over three years later, the Philippine authorities pardoned him for rebellion.

What's even more incredible is that a few years later, Laurel was elected to the Senate with the highest number of votes in the country!

This kind of thing can probably only happen in the Philippines.

And this shows from another aspect that those people who were secretly protected by Laurel at that time played a huge role in it!

It also includes the Yanes in front of you, right?

After the death of Philippine President Quezon, his successor, Osmina, subsequently played a pivotal role in Philippine politics.

As Osmina's "close comrade-in-arms", Yanes' status is naturally extraordinary.

Meng Shaoyuan has roughly understood it.

There's nothing wrong with Yanes the man.

He thought for a while, and said: "As I said just now, I was entrusted to rescue you. I can also tell you frankly, I hope that after the Americans captured Manila, you can tell the Americans, I rescued you."

He said that on purpose. ,

Sure enough, Yanes couldn't wait to say immediately: "My lord, I will definitely do this. I know that you were also threatened by the Japanese conquest and had no choice but to occupy Manila.

And what I can assure you is that as long as Manila is restored, I will definitely protect your safety and send you back to Japan as much as possible. "

Meng Shaoyuan smiled.

Some people really can say anything in order to survive.

"I still have to think about how to take you out." Meng Shaoyuan murmured, "However, you have to make preparations in advance."

"Okay, my lord." Yanes suddenly became excited: "I will get my wife and children ready right away."

Meng Shaoyuan frowned.

Given the current situation, he could only take Yanes out alone.

"Mr. Yanes, I have to explain something." Meng Shaoyuan didn't hide anything from him: "I will take you out as a spy, and I can even take your wife out as an accomplice.

However, the Navy is in charge here, and I as the Army don't have a lot of influence here.I am afraid they will not agree to take the three children away. "

"No, my lord." Yanes immediately said firmly: "I am a person who puts family first, I love my wife and children deeply, and I will protect them at all costs.

If they cannot go, my lord, neither will I.I'll wait here until Manila re-owners. "

Meng Shaoyuan's head hurts.

For some people, family is more important than anything else.

Yanes is clearly one of those people.

Moreover, judging from his attitude, there is no room for negotiation at all.

In normal times, Yanes' life and death have nothing to do with his Young Master Meng.

But not now.

Meng Shaoyuan smiled wryly: "If this is the case, I will think of a way. However, I must remind you that you must be prepared for my failure.

Mr. Yanes, if a scene that none of us want to see happens, I hope you can protect yourself and your family here. "

"Thank you, my lord." Yanes stood up: "I am very grateful, my lord. No matter what, I will remember that you helped me!"
