Is there going to be a trial soon?

What if you want to help?

We need to rush back to Manila now.

Then, the case of the "Bi Chai Jie" can no longer continue.

It seems that this has something to do with the "Warrior" again.

I hope I am worrying too much.

"Mr. Aquino, this is not a trivial matter." Meng Shaoyuan pondered for a while: "Even if I am willing to help you, I will probably go to a lot of trouble. Moreover, I am afraid that I will not be able to directly intervene in the trial of your brother by the Provisional Government Court.

Interrogation. Mr. Aquino, are you willing to listen to the truth?"

Seeing Nodeye nodding, Meng Shaoyuan said slowly: "In my opinion, your brother's interrogation will inevitably be unstoppable, but after the trial is over, I may be able to find a way to rescue him.

Mr. Aquino, this is the only and best way. After all, Endri did serve Japan and helped the Japanese do many bad things. He deserves to be tried."

"Yes, Colonel."

At this time, the little Benino, who had not spoken since he came in, said: "My father was coerced by the Japanese and had to serve as the speaker of the puppet government. During that time, his heart was also the same.

Very painful.

Sir, not to excuse my father, but everyone should be responsible for what they do. Accept the trial? The Aquino family is willing to accept it. If after this, Mr. Colonel can lend a helping hand, you will have the Aquino family forever.

friendship."

Yes, Not Bad.

The Aquino family is slightly different from other families in the Philippines. They have always been a political family.

Having been nurtured since childhood, little Bennino has shown a maturity that belies his age.

As soon as he opened his mouth, he admitted that his father was guilty.

Then, all the pain in his heart, being coerced by the Japanese, etc., was nothing more than defending his father.

Immediately, he even tied the Aquino family and Meng Shaoyuan together.

Benino Jr. glanced at Meng Shaoyuan and said: "The Philippines is a very complicated country. Spain and Portugal fought countless wars over this place. In the end, Spain became the winner.

During the Spanish colonial rule, resistance never stopped. A large number of Filipinos who mastered Spanish and were highly educated began to form a new elite class in the Philippines. Their conflicts with the colonial government became increasingly acute.

In 1872, about two hundred local soldiers in Cavite rebelled and killed their officers. Spain immediately took cruel revenge, which further aroused local unrest. Spain increased its troops to 28,000, and in several

The rebellion was suppressed within a month.

In 1897, after the former leader Bonifacio was executed by the Spanish colonial government on charges of treason, Aguinaldo became the actual leader of the Filipino Revolutionary Movement.

However, Bonifacio's death caused a split within the "Filipino Revolutionary Movement". The power struggle within the party and the encirclement and suppression by the Spanish colonial army severely damaged its strength.

The Spanish colonial government did not want to fall into a long-term anti-guerrilla war, so it proposed attractive conditions to Aguinaldo and others. In December 1897, the Spanish government and Aguinaldo and others signed the "Contract" near Manila.

Under the Treaty of Biacnabato, Aguinaldo and 40 of his men fled to Hong Kong, and the Spanish government agreed to pay Aguinaldo US$500,000 as compensation."

What's the meaning?

Although Meng Shaoyuan didn't quite understand, he still listened to Benino Jr.: "After signing the treaty, Aguinaldo arrived in Hong Kong on December 31, 1897. However, the Spanish colonial government did not give Aguinaldo and others as expected.

People paid the $500,000. Aguinaldo’s exile temporarily plunged the Filipinos’ struggle against Spanish colonial rule into a low ebb.”

Having said this, Benino Jr. paused briefly and said: "Aguinaldo actually betrayed the Filipino revolution and was the sinner who caused the resistance to Spanish colonial rule to fall into a low ebb. And all of this was caused by only half a million people.

dollars, he hasn't even gotten them yet.

Aguinaldo was a traitor, but later, when sharp conflicts broke out again between the Filipinos and the Spaniards, the dead Aguinaldo was carried out again and made into a national hero. So, was he a traitor?

Or a hero?"

Meng Shaoyuan had a smile on his face at this time.

This kid is really eloquent.

His father was obviously just a traitor, but he cleverly compared him to Aguinaldo.

After Benino Jr. finished speaking, Meng Shaoyuan said: "Yes, it is difficult to define Aguinaldo's merits and demerits, but your father Endri is very different from Aguinaldo.

Although Aguinaldo gave up the revolution and betrayed his comrades for half a million dollars, he made the decision when the resistance movement fell into serious difficulties. It can even be said that the resistance in the Philippines has reached a low ebb, and he needs to be responsible.

But it is not the main responsibility.

But what about your father? That's different. During the Japanese colonial rule, as the speaker of the Senate, he directly participated in the formulation of many resolutions. And I admit that most of these resolutions were made by the Japanese.

But what about subsequent implementation?

Son, I have also read your father’s case. Your father was very active in promoting these tyranny. These tyranny caused countless Filipinos to be displaced and countless Filipinos died. Is your father really responsible for this?

Can you break away from the relationship?

You actually compare your father to Aguinaldo? What do you think? Does he deserve it? He doesn't deserve it! So, even if he is sentenced to a heavy sentence, he deserves it. Am I right, kid?

?”

Little Benino lowered his head.

Meng Shaoyuan had no other intention. He just wanted to frustrate the child's energy: "Okay, I have said everything I should say. I promised to help you and I will definitely help you. But what should I do?

It's my business.

You should go back to Manila now and find Colonel Peter Lin, and I will write him a letter. As for what to do next, Colonel Peter Lin will be responsible for it. That’s all I have to say.”

"Thank you, thank you." Nordeye said hurriedly: "Colonel, the Aquino family will remember your kindness. I can't promise you anything now, but the Aquino family will always remember your kindness.

,I promise!"
