Chapter 215: Philippine Democratic Army

I believe that the Chinese in the Philippines have not intoxicated themselves that the Philippines has been an integral part of China since ancient times. There are earlier arrivals than Chinese in the area, and the indigenous people in the Philippines also belong to the Malays in a broad sense. The Malays in the broad sense actually occupy a lot of territory. Malaysia, Indonesia, and the Philippines all belong to the Malays in the broad sense.
The relationship between the Malays in the Philippines and the Malays in general is just like the relationship between Ottomans and Turks. Ottomans are only part of the whole Turks. As Sheffield said, Americans must be colonizers, but the Chinese are not natives. Under normal circumstances, they should be rejected by the main ethnic groups.
But this is the colonial era, and although it will soon be over, some unspoken rules still exist. That is, without trusting the local indigenous people, a force is needed to help the United States maintain order in the Philippines.
From the Philippine Resistance Army ’s purchase of arms from Japan, Japan must exclude this candidate target. Then there is actually only one Chinese candidate left. Sheffield himself also hopes that the local Chinese can cooperate with themselves. After all, if the United States is determined to occupy the Philippines, it means that it does not care about the resistance of the Filipinos, not to mention the Chinese who are fewer in number.
"Old Hong, you haven't been to the United States, and you can't imagine how powerful this country has become." Gu Cheng saw Sheffield's speech, and he didn't get an answer immediately.
He knows that Sheffield can achieve a bowl of water in peacetime, which is rare among the group of American bosses. However, after a long period of time without a joint company, the Chinese community on the West Coast has a certain understanding of the history of Sheffield United. The company is built on human lives, but now it looks harmless to humans and animals.
If Chinese in the Philippines take a non-cooperative attitude, Gu Cheng believes that United Company does not mind adding a group name.
"Gu Cheng?" Hong Shijun looked at the young man with surprise, not understanding what Gu became so eager.
Although this Gu Cheng and tens of thousands of Chinese workers have not been in the Philippines for a long time, but because they live in the northern suburbs of Manila and are not far away from the Chinese living in the northeast of Manila, these newcomers give the old Chinese impression. They are more calm than the Chinese who have lived in the Philippines for a long time, and they are not too afraid of foreigners.
Sheffield raised her hand to stop Gu Cheng's persuasion, and slowly looked at Hong Shijun, "You don't understand the strength of the United Company a little, I will give you a little time to consider, I have too much entertainment recently, I hope next time When you meet, you can change your mind, and agree to be happier. Negotiate with others. I only give two chances, but nothing happens. "
"You are also Chinese, and communicate with your compatriots!" Sheffield pointed to the position where he had just sat and motioned Gu Cheng to sit down and continue the conversation. He was really still busy.
"Old Hong, you shouldn't reject my boss!" Gu Cheng's eyes flashed a sense of responsibility. Everyone is Chinese. He didn't want to see his boss treat his compatriots in collar skirts as enemies. His boss is the most realistic. Of businessmen do not value the ethnic group, as long as they can create wealth for the joint company, they will be looked at.
Being able to stand up to the opposition waves of the American people, the Chinese in California are not invisible. This is also the reason why tens of thousands of people can be tricked into the Philippines after the United Company issued a job offer.
Although compatriots are very important, Gu Cheng is not willing to be hostile to fellow Filipinos if he has a choice, but as Sheffield said, you have to see who is the payer. Not to mention the strength of the United Company is so strong.
"If my boss ordered the removal of you, I think most of the Chinese laborers who were called in should be obedient." Gu Cheng looked at Hong Shijun deeply and said slowly, "As fellows, I want to remind you a bit."
This? Hong Shijun actually did not oppose it, but just made a gesture based on the traditional tradition of moderation. Didn't expect the situation to be so serious? Quickly said, "We are compatriots, the Chinese trade unions deal with us for a foreigner? Why are you afraid of him with a gun in your hand."
Since the landing of Chinese laborers, local Chinese in the Philippines have discovered that most of these Chinese laborers seem to be familiar with weapons. And much brighter than the local Chinese.
Gu Cheng sneered at Hong Shijun ’s rhetorical question and simply replied,
The reason why we use guns is because the boss hires us to defend the border. Guns are also products of the joint company. Hong Lao, as long as he can help the joint company grow, The boss does not care what the Chinese want to do. As long as you cooperate, we can still be compatriots. "
It wasn't until dark that Gu Cheng came out of this manor, as can be seen from the smile on his face, he successfully achieved his goal.
"Does the Hong family have anything to do with the young lady in the boudoir, can I give you a kiss?" Sheffield stretched out a long lazy waist. He had also just returned, and had just joined some of the expeditionary army officers, Experienced a handful of capitalist paper drunk fans, and had a sense of both eyes tightening in front and eating in the back.
At the reception, he also established a good personal relationship with Arthur MacArthur. By the way, he guested a keyboard man and explained his initial ideas for developing Manila and his ideas on how to control the entire Philippines.
To be honest, the Philippines is not a big place, but only about one-third of Texas. Surrounded by the sea, as long as the expeditionary army is ruthless, can living people still hold their urine?
"Actually, the local Chinese are just a little stubborn. They still have too much traditional thinking." Gu Cheng sighed. "It's also the darkness of the court, that made them have to flee their hometowns, if Daqing can be like the United States ... "
"Gu Cheng, every civilization has the characteristics of every civilization, do n’t think of imitating blindly, your country and your nation are not what you said. If this world, people in all countries are doing well, only This is what you are doing in Qing Dynasty. That is your problem in Qing Dynasty. It cannot be evaded. If other civilizations face the same failure in the face of European countries, it is not because you have problems, but a basic reason. European countries suddenly have It has become stronger. It has impacted on all civilizations, and it is not just your country. "Sheffield heard Gu Cheng interested in the American model and urged him to stop.
In addition to the descendants of the Roman Empire, the Western Asian civilization is also very important in the history of the world. Similarly, South Asia in the agricultural era is also very rich. Before the Industrial Revolution in Western Asia, the Ottoman Empire, but since the Arab Empire, the power of peace religion, institutional innovation, and military power were all above Europe.
The peaks of the Ottoman Empire are even better than the Arab Empire, not only recapture the South Bank of the Mediterranean as their own. It also wiped out the Eastern Roman Empire positively and entered the European complex. If it develops normally, the Christian Christian Romans in Europe should be wiped out.
The Mughal Empire in South Asia is also a powerful empire that has occupied almost all the land of the South Asian subcontinent since the Peacock Dynasty more than 2,000 years ago. It can be said that the Indians saw the complete territory of India again after more than two thousand years.
Needless to say about the Qing Dynasty, the layout and population are quantifiable data. With a population of 400 million and a territory of 13 million, that is not fake. It ’s not that these countries ca n’t do it, but there is a technological explosion in Europe. In a short time, all civilizations have been left behind. From this point, Ottoman is the most injustice. Chickens have grown into cannibal tigers in a short time.
Before the three civilizations met Europe and slammed the world, the paper data was no worse than the glorious period of the local civilization. If a civilization is disgraced under the impact, it can be said that it is the problem of that civilization. All three are like this, then Either there is a problem with their civilization itself, or it has become a victim of Europe's skyrocketing.
Gu Cheng's idea is too dangerous, and it is possible that his motherland will fall into the pit and can no longer climb up. Sheffield never thought about developing a career in Daqing, never thought about it. Moving forward according to history is the best result, and distance produces beauty, which is the greatest old feeling.
Let Gu Cheng dispel the idea in his heart, Sheffield got the Chinese, he has already used all the power that can be used, of course, he also used a force that was before Spain. This force is made up of Filipinos loyal to the Spanish Empire and is called the Loyalty Volunteer Camp. There were more than 20,000 people before.
Once the Spaniards formally withdraw, the armed forces of this attribute are likely to be liquidated, so this is the smoothest force Sheffield can handle. These Filipino soldiers who had previously loyal to the Spaniards may wish to have the opportunity to commit crimes and fight bravely for the new owner of the Philippines.
Sheffield does not need so many people. Anyway, the US military will definitely include loyal Filipinos. He just replaced General Merritt and communicated with the population left by the Chinese and Spain. The fifth column seems to have taken shape, only waiting for the United States to make a difficult decision.
"How about calling the Philippine Democratic Army?" Sheffield displayed the results of his operations over the past three months in front of important military generals such as George Dewey, Merritt and Arthur MacArthur, "returning the original Spanish weapons to the Philippines Armed with the Chinese, as long as the country decides on the status of the Philippines, these people will immediately enter the battlefield. "
