Chapter 225: I have a plan

The state pays a price for private enterprises to make profits. What's wrong with this? Isn't this the national condition of the United States? This should not be blamed for Sheffield ’s love of war. The long-term progress of the peace and security war is indeed the greatest benefit to military enterprises. As for the fight against real powers, private companies are thinking about making money, not thinking about life, that thing is too dangerous.
After the general situation in the Philippines has stabilized, that is, after entering the stage of security wars, Sheffield will consider leaving this place, returning to the mainland to continue to develop his career, and continue to contribute to the arrival of the American century. He believes that this time will not be too long.
Jesra nodded and very much recognized the boss's idea. My master is a businessman himself. What's wrong with making money? What's more, the United Company has done what it can to help build the urban area of ​​Manila! Although to develop real estate ...
The construction of the railway to the port, although it is to better transport the resources of the Philippines ...
Help the Chinese community to build the ability to have self-protection, although this is to better sell guns ...
Help the military build an open-air camp, this is to have a batch of labor that does not need wages.
In addition to these tiny jobs, Sheffield United did not do anything harmful, such as repairing railways and Chinese workers! In the open-air camp, the guard is a Philippine puppet army, anchored in the name of the military. This is not his business.
Of course, this military operation has solved the resistance of the northern Philippines. It is still possible to celebrate. As a patriotic businessman, a model of the army, and a good friend of the United Party, has Sheffield considered donating something? Think about it. Forget it, with the current cooperative relationship with the military, what really donates is out of touch.
According to the latest news from the United States, the federal government will set up two governors in the Philippines, one civilian governor and one military governor. Sheffield remembers that not only Arthur MacArthur in the Philippines, but also his son Douglas MacArthur in the Philippines. Made it too emperor for a while.
If the father and son are compared by another person, only Mountbatten of the British Empire seems somewhat similar. He is the second son of Prince Louis Mountbatten, the first British Minister of Maritime Affairs and Marquis of Milford Haven, and his mother is Princess Victoria of the Grand Duchy of Hesse-Rhein.
After that, he served as the commander of the Allied Joint Operations, and served as the commander-in-chief of the Allied Forces in Southeast Asia, coordinating the actions of Stilwell, Slim, and Wingate. Later, he became the governor and deputy of India, and proposed the "Mountbatton Plan" to divide India and Pakistan. The following year he served as commander-in-chief of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization Mediterranean Fleet. Chief of Staff of the British Navy. Promoted to marshal.
The life of MacArthur's father and son in the Philippines is almost the same as Mountbatten's appearance in India. Of course, Douglas MacArthur surpassed his father and has lived in the Philippines and Japan.
Knowing that MacArthur is a popular candidate for the military governor, Sheffield naturally expressed that he had been optimistic about MacArthur, and underestimated him. After all, after he left, the legal property of the United Company in the Philippines may still need the care of the Philippine governor.
The MacArthur people are happy and happy, and he may not yet know the news of the federal government, but since he fought against the Philippines, MacArthur has successively commanded a number of squads, and has severely brushed a sense of existence on the citizens of the United States To gain his prestige in the military.
Congratulations to Sheffield for coming, and he was very happy. Sometimes he wondered if he should quickly introduce his son Douglas MacArthur to Sheffield.
It happened that Sheffield also mentioned his son, saying that Douglas MacArthur was admitted to the West Point Military Academy, and will definitely be a very respectable general in the future. Starting from complimenting each other's son, the two entered a series of compliments.
First of all, Sheffield was happy that MacArthur's settlement in the northern Philippines was smooth. He said some polite words that will soon calm down in the Philippines. Although he himself believes this, but everyone loves to listen, he will talk casually.
However, MacArthur still had some reservations about the military operation, saying that it should still be disintegrated from within the enemy. This was a surprise to Sheffield. It seems that not long ago, the other party did not say so.
In this way, MacArthur seems to be one of the advantages, that is, he is not stubborn. He has already seen it through military operations. He can't solve the problem by blindly chasing and chasing the Filipinos into the sea.
"Actually, there is no solution at all. We can draw some beneficial factors from the experience of the British. I dare not say that the sight of the Filipinos will be diverted, but it should still be a bit useful." After hearing MacArthur, Sheffield ’s His eyes were dangling, and he couldn't help but feel bad.
"William seems to have some ideas?" MacArthur smiled. He didn't really have much expectations in his heart. The main reason was that the United Company had helped the military to do a lot of things, and he didn't refuse directly. To say that this merchant may have used money to win over the landlord and farmer in the Philippines, there may be a way, and the rest can not be expected.
"The easiest way to divert attention is territorial disputes, which may require the cooperation of the Dutch." Sheffield didn't care what MacArthur thought, anyway, what the British Empire did, just follow the lessons.
The most famous of these is the conflict between India and Pakistan, which is the masterpiece of the British. This is just one of the most well-known in people's minds, and the British are veterans in this respect.
Sudan is divided into two countries. In addition to historical reasons, the help of Britain is indispensable. After the invasion of the country, it adopted a "divide and rule" policy. This policy strengthened the differences between Sudan and North and planted the seeds of future North-South conflict.
As far as Southeast Asia, Malaysia and Indonesia are concerned, the connection between them is almost the same as that of the Northern and Southern Dynasties of Chinese history. Many Malaysians in later generations see Indonesians in the eyes of Indonesians, just like Chinese people see Korea. Is this your history? Are you here? Why are all Malaysians?
Malaysia is a British colony, and Indonesia is a Dutch colony. In fact, both of them are Malays in a broad sense. Unlike the Malays in the Philippines, the Philippines has become a Christian country.
Territorial disputes are the fastest way to divert attention. After the withdrawal of Britain, countries around the world can be seen as hostile to each other. As the pro-son of the British Empire, the British can do it, can't the United States do it?
Sheffield decided to follow the example of today's world overlords and all countries and find something for the Filipinos. The best target nearby is Indonesia under Dutch rule.
Indonesia is known as the country of Ten Thousand Islands, and its land is extremely fragmented. This fragmentation is actually not conducive to the stability of the country. This is the player who has nothing on the table nearby. Indonesia's body is large enough. Australia ’s population is too small. If Australia ’s population is a little larger, they can survive the torture of Indonesia.
Afterwards, Indonesia still had nothing to do with its own archipelago, let alone the Dutch colony. Maybe he doesn't know how many islands there are in his country.
"This can be done as long as our governor and the Dutch governor say hello. If the Filipinos resist constantly, after a period of repression, they can send a Philippine puppet army to take an island in North Maru Valley Province of India. , And greatly advertise that this island has been an integral part of the Philippine territory since ancient times. At the same time, it can highlight the heroic image of Santos, which can reduce a certain degree of resistance and is also a force to support our United States. "
Sheffield pointed out several of these benefits. First, it can establish a positive image of the Philippine puppet army, second, it can divert the attention of ordinary Filipinos, and third, after territorial disputes, it can provoke the relationship between the Philippines and nearby ethnic groups and let these Ethnic groups that are both colonies do not sympathize with the Filipinos.
"No nearby colony is more suitable than Indonesia." Sheffield gave a solemn suggestion. For the country of Indonesia, he is now a bit complicated. First of all, he knows a famous event, but that famous event is the US Central Intelligence. It was planned by the bureau.
Sheffield can't start with the motherland of this life, so finding something for Indonesia can be regarded as a few bullets for the United States.
After Sheffield talked about her thoughts, MacArthur's eyes changed immediately. This famous patriotic businessman, who is not old, is so bad-hearted? Although everything is for the great United States, it seems strange to think about it.
In order to solve the problems that the expeditionary army may encounter, let the puppet army dispatch a piece of Dutch island? Distract the Filipino resistance. But ... there seems to be no problem.
"Must use a puppet army? Only in this way can we clarify the relationship and communicate with the Dutch Governor. In fact, there is little controversy on the island. The Dutch should not be fussed as long as we can express our goodwill." Sheffield did not say this. This must be done, but a serious analysis still makes him feel serious.
He also knew that MacArthur would never do this if everything went well, but what if it didn't go well? It ’s no fuss that the American colonists and the Dutch colonists acted in a play.
Sheffield can't think of it now. One year later, the peace and security battle has been halting. MacArthur really did it.
