Chapter 3415 Finally here
Glorious America.
This is the most troublesome thing for Meng Shaoyuan.
Walking a tightrope in the dark?
No, it's more dangerous than that.
Shattered to pieces.
Meng Shaoyuan took a long breath.
When I was in China, I was risking my life.
But the current situation is not just about risking one's life, but also about treating one's own life as dead.
The ashtray in front of him was already filled with cigarette butts.
When Li Zhifeng came in, you could even see deep fatigue on his face.
In Li Zhifeng's impression, this kind of fatigue has not appeared on the boss's face for a long time.
Not physically, but mentally.
"It's time to go." Li Zhifeng whispered.
Meng Shaoyuan nodded.
Today is the day that Hermonkey David, the head of "Glorious America", arrives in Manila.
Obviously, Mr. Levi also had contact with this organization. He hosted a banquet in person and notified Meng Shaoyuan specifically.
After all, Colonel Charles was the top military commander in all of Manila.
Meng Shaoyuan also asked Couston.
Couston's answer was, "I know the existence of this organization and that they are very powerful. We have cooperated in medicine before, but that's all."
Immediately, he reminded Meng Shaoyuan in particular: "Charles, if you are interested in this organization, or if you want to do anything to him, I personally recommend staying away."
"Stay away? Why?" Although he knew why, Meng Shaoyuan still asked.
Couston was silent for a moment, and then said: "There is a reporter in New York, DuBose Turan, who is somewhat famous. I don't know why, but he started investigating the 'Glorious America'. You know, this organization has always been against It is famous for its biological and chemical weapons and is very famous.
However, Du Bos wrote an article, arguing that the U.S. military purchased large quantities of biochemical protective equipment and medicines from a company called Case Group, and that the real owners of Case Group were most likely the Perez family. 'Glorious America' was founded by the Perez family, so there is a great possibility that the two are related.
On the eve of this article being prepared to be published in the newspaper, it was suddenly retracted urgently. The editor-in-chief told DuBose that the Perez family has a high reputation. It would be very risky to publish such an article without conclusive evidence. It may have a negative impact on the reputation of the Perez family.
Although DuBose argued hard, he failed. However, the reporter did not give up. He promised the editor-in-chief that he would find evidence. After that, he began a difficult but fruitful investigation.
But soon, someone made an appointment with him. He was given $20,000 to stop the investigation. DuBose flatly refused. In his view, exposing the truth was a journalist's mission. It also cannot be measured in terms of money. "
Hearing this, Meng Shaoyuan sighed: "Then this reporter will probably be in trouble."
That's right, Du Bos wanted to investigate an organization like "Glorious America". After rejecting the other party's bribe, there was only one way to make him stop the investigation.
Coston nodded: "Yes, not long after that, Dubos' car was stopped on the road, and a large bag of drugs was found in the car. Dubos was taken away When the rights were read out, he resisted fiercely and tried to snatch the police gun, but was shot by the police."
Meng Shaoyuan frowned tightly.
He originally thought that those people would use methods such as street gangster robbery, but he never expected that the other party would directly use the police. This would not only put Dubos to death, but also completely ruin his reputation.
Because no one knows how much information Du Bos has in his hands, or whether he has given this information to someone for safekeeping.
Once such a situation occurs, even if such possible information is released, those people can completely believe that all the information about Dubos is falsely accused in the name of just a drug dealer.
There was no chance of DuBose turning over.
Couston continued: "The shooting of the two policemen was also investigated afterwards. The final conclusion was that the two policemen were acting in complete self-defense. In such an emergency situation, they did nothing but kill Du Bose had no choice."
Meng Shaoyuan sighed again: "So, Du Bos is not a reporter, he is just a drug dealer in the cloak of a reporter."
Then, he asked: "The question is, these things, such as someone bribing Du Bos, should be very hidden. How did you know about it?"
Couston was silent for a while: "Because DuBose is my cousin."
Meng Shaoyuan was stunned.
Cousin?
Couston was a little helpless: "We are a big family, and Du Bos has been rebellious since he was a child. He didn't like doing business and was only very interested in reporters. When he became an adult, he had a fierce quarrel with his father. Finally, he left his home and embarked on the road of journalism alone.
He'd had a good relationship with me since we were kids, so when he started investigating Glorious America, he came to me and told me these things. I also tried to persuade him, but because of his character, he rejected my suggestion to stop the investigation.
After his death, someone found his parents and me. They told me about my relationship with him and warned me that if I knew something, I would keep it in my stomach forever.
Charles, I firmly believe that if there were not many financial giants behind me, and if I was not helping them manage their funds, then my body might have rotted in a sewer in New York. "
Meng Shaoyuan stopped talking.
Even someone like Couston, who has huge resources and great power, is still threatened by the other party.
"Glorious America" is simply unscrupulous.
After a while, Meng Shaoyuan said: "Coston, when Du Bos was looking for you, did he give you something?"
Cawston was silent.
After a while, he said helplessly: "That day, the person who came to me also asked me this question, but I rejected it outright. I told him that I was unwilling to get involved in such things, and all I cared about was making money. So. Whatever DuBose has in his hands has nothing to do with me.
Charles, if this is the case now, I will tell you too. We are here to make money, and there are plenty of opportunities to make money in the Philippines. Don't give up such an opportunity for some reason. I don’t want to die and I don’t want to see anything happen to my partner. "
Meng Shaoyuan understood. DuBose must have given something to Cawston before he died.
However, Couston doesn't want to get stuck in this whirlpool. All he cares about is making money.
As for the inside story or the truth, it has nothing to do with him.
Was he wrong?
correct.
He is a businessman, and he knows the consequences of offending "Glorious America."
DuBose has learned from his past mistakes.
"I think I should stay away from this vortex." Meng Shaoyuan smiled bitterly: "Mr. Levi invited me to the dinner, which was specially for Mr. Hermonkey David. I hope that when I meet Mr. David, You can leave a good impression on him."
"Yes, my friend." Hearing what Meng Shaoyuan said, Couston's expression became much more relaxed: "If we can take this opportunity to establish a good relationship with Mr. David, it will be very beneficial to our future business. It’s of great benefit.”
……
What Levi prepared was a purely private dinner.
There were only three people able to attend this dinner.
Levi, Meng Shaoyuan, and Hermonkey David.
Levi introduced both parties.
Judging from the information, Hemonchi David is fifty-five years old.
He was so well-kept that he didn't even have a few gray hairs.
He shook hands with Meng Shaoyuan politely: "Colonel Charles, the savior of Cabanatuan, the hero of Manila, has long been a famous name. It is my honor to see you here today."
"Thank you, Mr. David." Meng Shaoyuan also said politely: "I also know that the 'Glorious America' you lead is an amazing organization. This organization will be able to avoid tragedies to a great extent."
The three of them clinked glasses, and Hemonqi took a sip of wine: "'Glorious America' opposes any form of biological and chemical weapons attack. In the history of mankind, the first tragedy caused by biological and chemical weapons, I think, is from those The 'Yellow Peril' started."
Meng Shaoyuan frowned.
The "yellow peril" he was talking about was the Mongols.
In the middle of the fourteenth century, the powerful Mongolian legions swept across the Eurasian continent, and all the soldiers fled in the direction of the front.
However, the powerful Mongols encountered obstacles in the city of Faqa on the Black Sea and could not attack for a long time. The plague also spread within the army.
Many Mongolian soldiers died from the disease.
The angry Mongol commander ordered the bodies of the dead soldiers to be thrown into the city with trebuchets.
The residents of Fakka City didn't know the whole story and piled these corpses in a corner.
Soon, the virus on the corpses began to spread to the residents, and people fell one after another. The surviving residents fled to various European countries and spread the plague to other countries.
It is said that this plague ravaged Europe for three centuries, directly and indirectly causing the death of 2500 million people. It was so terrible that it was called the "Black Death"!
This "tactic" of the Mongols inadvertently became the first "biochemical warfare" used by humans. The results were so tragic that even the Mongols did not expect it.
"Since then, mankind seems to have fallen into an obsession with biological and chemical weapons." Hermonqi sneered: "In World War I, the Germans took the lead in using biological and chemical weapons, causing huge casualties to the Allied forces. However, it was only then that This is just the beginning.
In this terrible war, Germany and Japan were simply crazy about biological and chemical weapons. If the Allies had not adopted timely and effective countermeasures, the terrible disaster might have happened long ago. "
is it?
Meng Shaoyuan sneered in his heart.
Yes, Germany and Japan are frantically researching biological weapons and have used them on the battlefield.
However, are the allies okay?
Is the United States, Britain, and the Soviet Union okay?
Aren't they also conducting research on biological and chemical weapons?
In early 1939, German chemists finally developed two powerful psychotic poisons, one called tabun and the other sarin. They can make the human body's muscles shrink into a ball, and then suffocate to death.
These two poisons are very toxic and will cause poisoning as long as they are inhaled or touched, especially sarin, which is 10 times more powerful than tabun.
The German head of state was overjoyed when he learned about it. In September 1939, he officially built a factory capable of producing 9 tons of sarin and tabun per month, preparing to launch a large-scale chemical gas war at a critical moment.
The German head of state also secretly ordered the establishment of the world's largest bacteriological research institute in Berlin and other places to manufacture bacterial suspension bombs and biological weapons such as Yersinia pestis, typhus, and spirit bacterium.
In early 1940, the German head of state also publicly hinted that Germany had mastered several terrifying new weapons that no enemy country could defend against.
U.S. President Roosevelt, British Prime Minister Churchill, and Soviet Supreme Leader Stalin all began serious response work after learning about the German head of state's rush to develop chemical and biological weapons.
The British established a secret laboratory in Bolton, specializing in the development of biological weapons. The biological weapons developed by the UK were mainly anthrax bombs.
In 1942, the United States joined the British in the development of biological weapons. The British provided technology and the Americans provided factories. At that time, the anthrax spore bomb produced by Britain and the United States was the biggest military secret after the atomic bomb.
The United Kingdom and the United States had planned to use 4 anthrax spore bombs to bomb six major cities including Berlin, Hamburg, and Frankfurt if the German head of state dared to launch a chemical and biological weapons war first. In this way, the entire Europe will pay more than 6 million lives.
What’s even more frightening is that until now, Europe will still be infected with the virus. There will be no high-rise buildings, only dead ruins.
During World War II, Britain and the United States also produced two chemical weapons that could destroy crops on a large scale: "1313" and "1414". The Americans once wanted to use it to force Japan to surrender as soon as possible, but in the end they gave up the plan because of the use of atomic bombs.
At the same time, the Soviet Union also conducted large-scale biological weapons research. It is said that there were eight "military bacterial testing sites" at that time, one of which was located on a mysterious ship in the Arctic Ocean.
There is a testing ground where experiments were conducted on prisoners. The prisoners were taken into tents and kept there until plague-carrying fleas bit them. Once, a prisoner escaped, causing a great plague to spread. The Soviet Union kept its development of biological weapons strictly confidential, and little was known to the outside world.
However, the German head of state never launched a large-scale chemical gas and biological weapons war during World War II. This was because in the early days of the war, the German head of state was overly superstitious about his own blitzkrieg. In addition, under the conditions of the rapid German attack, it was not suitable for large-scale use. Chemical weapon.
So, needless to say, standing on the top of morality, there is no morality at all in war!
