Chapter 212: Inflated second-class

"Boss, it's better to be careful. Now it's the war period, the soldiers have more rights, and the Philippines is not native!" Jesra was more cautious than Sheffield. The Philippines didn't know when they would fight.
"What are you afraid of? George Dewey hasn't retired yet? At that time, it's just an ordinary person. I'm still the boss of the United Company. I'm quite busy!" Sheffield was very welcoming while changing clothes. Look at the United States. These two places are hotter than the other. If not for internationalization, would he be guilty of crossing over half the earth to find a crime?
The basic situation in the Philippines is that anywhere in the Philippines except Manila is in the hands of the Philippine Resistance Army, and part of it is actually in the hands of Spain. Spain has lost its underpants on both battlefields, and now the two sides are negotiating to communicate through the middle country. The territory controlled by the US military is the smallest, but it is the most important.
Sheffield said that he was very busy and it was definitely not a lie. He also wanted to meet Spanish and Chinese leaders. Being able to communicate with George Dewey first has already given this old man a face.
The meeting between the two parties was in the original Spanish governor ’s office, and the main purpose of Sheffield was to get the largest cake of domestic companies in the Philippines under the influence of the US military, making the Philippines an important step in the internationalization of the joint company.
So the previous disrespect for George Dewey was just casually talking, he still respected the soldiers, really fragrant ...
"Mr. William, thank the United Company for its help to the expeditionary forces, especially for the soldiers of the Eighth Army. The canned food delivered by the United Company is the right time." George Dewey expressed a certain degree after seeing Sheffield coming Thanks on the. In support of military operations in the United States, the United Company has indeed made great efforts.
The navy officers and soldiers had better say something about the supply, mainly the supply of the expeditionary army, which is indeed very shameful. The soldiers of the Eighth Army ate beef jerky, about the same age as the fathers of these soldiers. The last time George Dewey saw these familiar beef jerky, it was during the Civil War.
George Dewey also wanted to take out part of the Navy's adapted food supply to the Army, but the army's number was not available from the Navy's frugality. The beef jerky, which could not be cut by a simple saber, was quickly shipped domestically. Come canned instead.
"It's all for the country to do!" Sheffield's compliment to George Dewey accepted it all, all of which are about to expire, and canned trusts lack this kind of thing? Anyway, it is also ready to be destroyed, it is better to use waste.
In George Dewey's office, there was General Merritt, the commander of the Eighth Army of the Expeditionary Army. He also praised the patriotic enterprises such as the United Company. When he met the top generals on both sides, everything was in harmony.
"Now we only rely on our existing forces and we can only control Manila. Now most of the Philippines are in the hands of the rebels, and the rest are in the hands of the Spanish army. We have to wait for the second batch of expeditionary forces to be on the road. On the way. "General Merritt did not conceal the current situation. Obviously, he did not believe the army ’s combat power even the commander of the expeditionary army. With such a commander, the army ’s status in the United States can be imagined.
"As I have observed, the next tough battle will be between our expeditionary forces and the Filipinos." Sheffield did not consider himself an outsider at all, as if there were three giants among the US military in the Philippines, including one of them same.
Considering the joint company ’s support for the war, the officers of both the navy and the army have not objected too much. Although the two are in the Philippine theater, they have passed some news for so long to know the situation on the other side of Cuba, and they have great magic power for the joint company With a new understanding, it is said that people also contribute money to support the war, and some opinions are also normal.
Furthermore, isn't this justified? George Dewey and Merritt also judged this way. In the next military operation, the Philippine Resistance will be the main opponents.
The two were soldiers, and it was normal to make this judgment, but Sheffield arrived in Manila one day and made the same judgment. This had to give the two a glance. General Merritt exclaimed, "William Entering the military world is definitely a bright star. "
Can't think too much? With such a large company and wealth not being used well, do you have to go to the battlefield to die? This so-called compliment, Sheffield did not hear it, very modestly, "The United Company is a company with an international perspective. In fact, the current business must also allow me to have some international careers. Let me be straightforward. In this special period, the joint company has done almost the same thing as the East India Company. "
Sheffield mentioned the infamous predecessor company in the UK, and there was a trace of embarrassment on their faces, because this company is also extremely important to American history. The background of the Boston Tea Incident is the monopoly of the East India Company.
This is not the most embarrassing. Sheffield compares her company to an East India company. She almost directly says that the two people ’s behavior is exactly the same as the British behavior in the world. There is no nobleness at all. You can say Put all the reasons for the war in the United States underfoot, and get a glimpse of it.
Even more embarrassing is that an officer pushed through the door at this time and happened to see this scene, hesitantly, much like this matter should be talked about improperly.
General Merritt coughed, "This is a representative of a private company that supplies supplies to the Expeditionary Army. Anything can be said directly!"
Then General Merritt wanted to whip his mouth. The officer reported that several American soldiers had caused dissatisfaction with some Philippine rebels because of the of local women, which increased the tension.
"Take care of it immediately and find someone to communicate with the Philippines." General Merritt looked embarrassed, but he quickly issued an order to let the officer go out.
Poof! Sheffield didn't hold back, and then quickly smiled. Wasn't this the tradition of the US military? Wherever you go, you can't control your crotch. It can be seen from General Merritt's decisive processing order that this has not happened for the first time.
The American soldier's never picky food style is really admirable. Anyone can do anything, as long as she is a mother. It doesn't matter whether it is a European power or an island native.
This also has nothing to do with himself, but one thing Sheffield still directly told the two generals, that is, about the 30,000 Chinese workers who came with him, and the questions about the subsequent Chinese workers. Now he wants to take these Chinese workers away and use them to The strategic layout of the joint company cannot continue as a nanny to the military.
"These Chinese workers are going to be used in the construction of the joint company. If the two generals feel that they ca n’t, they can pay for them instead of the joint company!" Sheffield crossed her fingers and named the current real situation, "tens of thousands of workers, Wages are more than 200,000 US dollars, even if the size of the joint company is not small, it can not always bear such a large cost. There is no law that states that private enterprises must pay for war, the two generals, I believe you are too Understand the law. "
amount? George Dewey and Merritt glanced at each other, and finally only agreed, "Thanks to the United Company for helping the expedition through the most difficult period, but William ..."
"It's nothing. If you can afford the salary, it's not too late." Sheffield seemed to be ready to talk about it and said that the two of them were rushing to stop, but they came to do charity.
"I also have one, but I can first notify the two generals. Considering that the native nation of the Philippines accounts for more than 80%, any colonial composition is to attract a foreign nation to check and balance the mainland. India is known as the pearl of the British Empire. In the non-white territory, the Indians assumed the responsibility of maintaining order. This can be seen from the British colonies in Africa and Southeast Asia, and even the British Guiana in Latin America. The population composition of the Philippines, only the Chinese can assume this responsibility . "
Sheffield has now entered the role of the East India Company, explaining the plan of the joint company, "At present, the most threatening Asian country is Japan, and the arms of the Philippine Resistance Army are purchased from Japan. This is a very dangerous sign. . That ’s because many people in Asian countries are already relying on Japan unconsciously. I just came from Hawaii. I believe that the two generals saw a huge Japanese population during their short break in Hawaii.

"So Japan is not credible, and it should be guarded against. The joint company will have a peaceful relationship with the Chinese in the Philippines. It depends on the relationship with the Chinese in California. The preparation of the joint company is still in place. I hope that the two generals will know about this and do not allow military soldiers to interfere. This is what I want to say. "Sheffield will support the Chinese in one breath and finish the idea of ​​dealing with the indigenous Filipinos, waiting for their response.
"Will this cause a hidden danger?" George Dewey frowned slightly and raised his doubts. Although the soldiers were more sensitive to interference in private enterprises, he was still worried.
"General Dewey, don't you think the Philippines will merge into the United States? There are nearly 10 million people here, and the federal government just treats it as a colony. Merging so many people into the United States will bring great uncertainty to the country. "" Sheffield smiled coldly. "Now it's good to find a help, but also picked it?"
"Yes, the Philippines must be calmed down now. If we can quickly resolve the resistance, we don't need to consider the problem of the Chinese balancing the indigenous people." Merritt thought the matter was not too bad and comforted George Dewey.
Can the Army of the United States fight hard battles? As an army chief, she really didn't know anything about it. Sheffield rolled her eyes and remembered the army's invincible record in the world. The opponents were Panama, Guatemala, Guyana, Congo, Dominica, and no one knows.
