1855 United States Tycoon

The Spaniards in the Philippines know that over the years, they did not commit a massacre in the Philippines once or twice. On the land of the Philippines, they have slaughtered the Chinese and they have slaughtered the indigenous people, and they have slaughtered more than one round. If the indigenous people from the outside rush in, what will happen? You don’t even need to use brains, just use nerves. You can understand when you think about it. Before, the war between them and the United States was still a war between civilizations and any civilized people, but now... when the war has no possibility of victory, guaranteeing the safety of own life and property has become Spain in the Philippines. The choice of man.

A few days later, Manila surrendered to the US military. The United States army successfully entered Manila, but the Spaniards did not hand over their weapons. The United States allowed them to keep light weapons in self-defense and promised that they would not allow any indigenous troops to enter. Until in the future, the Spanish government and the United States government reach a compromise to achieve peace, and then send ships to pick them up. Subsequently, other important cities in the Philippines also opened their doors to the United States army in accordance with the Calabash painting.

Seeing that the United States friendly forces have entered Manila, the Filipinos naturally want to enter the city. After all, the colorful world in the city has a huge attraction to them. Who doesn't want to rush into the city, burn, kill, and looting happily? But not far from the city, they were blocked by the heavily armed United States army. Although those Filipinos tried very hard to explain that we are friendly forces, we are friends, and we should be allowed to pass. But those United States people are NONOs full of mouths, just don't let them go. Some Filipinos used the tactics of forcible intrusion. As a result, the United States people were very friends. Although they were offended, they still used MacDonald’s water-cooled heavy machine guns and 3.4-inch mortars to give them magnanimity. The barbaric Filipino has a chance to be a new man. In a skirmish near Manila, the United States Army quickly and neatly allowed at least a hundred Filipinos to become men again.

This situation certainly makes the Filipinos very dissatisfied. But at this time, it is obviously not wise to completely tear up the face with the United States people. Therefore, the leader of the Filipinos, Aguinaldo, who returned from the United States warship, represented the Filipinos to find the United States.

...

"Mr. Aguinaldo, is there anything you came to see all the time?" General Arthur MacArthur, the commander of United States who is now in charge of Manila's city defense, asked with a somewhat impatient look.

"General MacArthur, I am here for the unfortunate incident that just happened outside of Manila." Mr. Aguinaldo said, "I want to know why your army did not allow us to enter Manila. According to the fact that I waited from your country before As promised, your country will support the establishment of an independent republic in the Philippines, and Manila will be the capital of the Republic of the Philippines in this plan, but now..."

"However, now, some unexpected situations have occurred. And this unexpected situation is entirely caused by you! Moreover, it has brought a lot of damage to the reputation of our United States of America. So in order to eliminate the danger, I have to take such measures!" General Arthur MacArthur interrupted Aguinaldo unceremoniously.

"General MacArthur, I don't understand what you are saying..." Aguinaldo said in amazement. Obviously, he didn't know the massacre that was making a lot of noise in Western newspapers today. This is also normal, because he has been in the Philippine Rebel Army during this time and he has never read foreign newspapers. Moreover, even if he wants to read it, he can't find these newspapers under the current conditions.

"You don't know?" General Arthur MacArthur looked at him suspiciously. "You don't know what your people do good things? I really want to doubt whether it is suitable for us to cooperate with you. Tru, go Bring a newspaper and let this friend of ours take a good look!"

General Arthur MacArthur’s Adjutant Trullo immediately found a newspaper and handed it to Aguinaldo.

Aguinaldo took the newspaper and hurriedly looked at it. He saw the photo of a Philippine Rebel soldier carrying the head of a little girl on the front page of this newspaper.

"This...this..." Aquinado faintly felt that something was wrong.

"Because of your people's brutal atrocities, now the whole world is accusing us!" General Arthur MacArthur yelled at Aguinaldo, "Look at what your people did? They would actually slaughter. Unarmed women and children! Now even the people in the United States are beginning to wonder whether we should support you or not, all wondering if you have the basic qualifications to establish a civilized country! And at this time, you actually came to me and questioned me. Why don’t you let your people enter Manila? God! If we let your barbarians and thugs enter Manila, I can’t imagine what will happen! Maybe the whole city will be affected by your people. Rashed to the ground, everyone in the city will be massacred! Mr. Aguinaldo, I tell you now! At least for now, I will never allow any Philippine military force to approach Manila! Never allow you to be brutal because of your greed And it makes the United States of America ashamed because of your brutality! Never allow it!"

General Arthur MacArthur waved his fists and roared, so that Aguinaldo had to take a step toward retreated.

"General MacArthur, listen to me, this is just an isolated incident. We are not... In fact, in some of the cities we have entered, our order and discipline are pretty good..." Aguinaldo tried his best The defense said.

"Damn it! After this happened, you told me that your discipline was good! Damn, do you think I'm a fool? Mr. Aguinaldo, now I officially inform you that within five kilometers of Manila, No armed forces other than the United States Army are allowed. No matter which armed force enters within five kilometers from Manila City, it will be regarded as an attack on Manila City and our United States Army. . Under such circumstances, we have to take up weapons to defend ourselves, do you understand?"

"This..." Aguinaldo had no idea that the attitude of the United States would suddenly change like this. So he expected Ai Ai to express:

"So, General MacArthur, when will our troops enter Manila? You know, according to the agreement between your country and us, Manila should be handed over to us and become the capital of the Republic of the Philippines..."

"This is a political matter, and I can't make any reply." General MacArthur said. "But I think these things may be necessary for us to achieve peace with the Spanish government and send the Spaniards away, as well as your troops' performance. It’s more like a civilized person. Well, if you don’t have more things, Mr. Aguinaldo, please go back first. I will also arrange the city defense of Manila."

Seeing that the people from United States immediately issued the eviction order, Aguinaldo had no choice but to say goodbye.

Coming out of the United States, Aquino who followed Aguinaldo asked him: "Mr. Aquinado, how long do you think the United States will allow us to enter Manila?"

"Who knows." Aguinaldo had a very bad premonition in his heart. He was worried that it would be difficult for him to become the founding president of the country. "Those damn fools actually did such a thing. It has been photographed by others! However, we can also take this opportunity to integrate our Philippine military."

The insurgents in the Philippines come from many tribes, and their organization is often based on tribes. This makes Aguinaldo not very good control of the insurgents. Aguinaldo thought that by taking this opportunity to integrate the army, not only could he stabilize his position, but to a large extent, he could also improve his bargaining power with the United States.

...

After taking the Philippines and Cuba, the Spaniards also began to connect with the United States government through the French government in an attempt to restore peace. Obviously, the British boss has no power to take care of his business for the time being. The Boers strengthened by the Macdonald Consortium performed better than in the original history. After declaring war on the United Kingdom, they took the initiative to attack and continuously launched in South Africa. The two battles almost completely wiped out the British mobile forces in South Africa and took several cities in one go. At present, only Cape Town is still under the control of the British and relying on the help of naval firepower to withstand Boer. Human offense. Now the British are busy mobilizing sea and land power from the country to suppress the Boers, where there is still room to support the Spaniards. In addition, the United States, through the French, told the Spaniards that if the Spaniards are willing to admit the status quo (of course, it refers to the status quo that the United States has changed), the United States is also willing to give the Spaniard some compensation. I can't do it in United States, and the boss can't help. In this case, what else can I do besides admitting the facts? Anyway, those places have fallen into the stomachs of United States people. Can you still expect the United States people to vomit? Time has dragged on. Even if the British boss vacates his hands, the United States people have already gained a firm foothold. Then why would the British boss pay a huge price to snatch Spain back? The Spanish can never afford to hire a British boss. Therefore, it is better to take advantage of the current situation and pack up Cuba and the Philippines, as well as some islands in the Pacific that have also been taken by the United States, and see if you can sell them for some money.
