Chapter 222: Dealing with the comprador class

Owning a private enterprise to do this kind of thing for the country, then such a country is too shameful. In a capitalist country in the United States, these military forces were merely hired to protect the company. It is really justified that they want to reverse the situation. Sheffield will never agree.
In this era, military generals have such thoughts? In his view, this is a very serious problem. Do you consider yourself a military-industrial complex decades later? Even if it is a military-industrial complex, it is still dominated by military-industrial enterprises. The navy and army are still a cannon fodder. What are the qualifications to bargain with yourself? Once the situation in the Philippines is stable, are you still returning to the country to plant land?
"Do you really want the United Company to become the East India Company?" Sheffield questioned politely. He just made a suggestion. The military can do it, but not by itself. "And there is, At present, there have been protests against the war in the country, and things in the Philippines still need to be resolved as soon as possible. "
Regardless of the essence of this United States, but as an immigrant country, the federal government has packaged its own country brightly and brightly, and life pressure is indeed much lower than many European countries. So in the United States, there are really a group of people who feel that the country is perfect under such propaganda.
During all the wars in the United States, there were many anti-war demonstrations by protesters, and this time the US-Philippines War was no exception. Demonstrations against the federal government and the Philippine War have already appeared.
Before the expeditionary forces attacked, anti-war organizations appeared in China. This organization was called the anti-imperialist alliance. The condition for membership is to oppose the United States of America ’s possession of any overseas territory in the form of a colony. The Filipinos rebelled against Spanish colonialism and struggled. It was a nature to rid the British of the armed forces of the United States. If the repression of the Filipino people was suppressed, it would shake the United States ’concept of statehood.
To be honest, in Sheffield's eyes, among the Central Plains dynasty after the Tang dynasty, a group of civil servants who were guarding the Great Wall and prepared to be in touch with the old dead outside the Great Wall had similar ideas.
As for another group of members of the anti-imperialist coalition, there is such a point of truth. Sarbos, as a worker representative, opposed the annexation of the Philippines on the grounds that it would allow another group of non-whites to flood into the United States on a large scale and grab The reason for taking a white man's job is similar to the background of the Chinese Exclusion Act, which has won the support of many people.
At the same time, there are some people who are too long at war, and the military's rights may increase, which may make the soldiers threaten the current republican system. This idea is to worry about the emergence of the military-industrial complex.
Because Sheffield was involved in the newspaper and media industry, she understood this trend earlier than these generals. She was helpless and said, "Some people worry that the war will be too long and will cause the military to become stronger. Generals, Your enemies are not only Filipinos, but also domestic newspapers. I believe you should have an understanding of the excrement workers. Once the war continues, the next excavation workers will make up rumors and guide public opinion to withdraw their troops. "
The media industry in the United States in this era has not been completely rectified. In fact, the anti-war protests are much stronger than a hundred years later. If the problems cannot be solved as soon as possible, the problems will be magnified.
"Some people are very ignorant. It is the Filipinos who attacked our soldiers first, so that our soldiers will fight back. This is what the Filipinos are asking for." The soldiers of the home country sacrificed in vain.
"So the recent anti-war wave has calmed down again, but the citizens are forgetful. Once the time has passed, the citizens have forgotten about this matter, and the anti-war wave will rise." Sheffield's side-by-side reminder reminded that it must be early make decision.
"Hopefully this kind of facility will not work in the end." General Merritt also knew that Sheffield was afraid to bet on the company's reputation to do this. The military could only take care of it.
Even if the United Company is the contractor of this war, it cannot be expected to do more. They are, after all, a private enterprise and cannot do everything. It should be the time to take responsibility. In the end, the navy and army generals in the headquarters approved Sheffield ’s proposal, established an open air camp and managed by the military, and were directly supervised by the Philippine puppet army. All management plans were implemented in accordance with Sheffield ’s proposal, immediately Just start building.
Sheffield had to leave after achieving his goal, but this time, an officer came to the command post and brought a very surprising news. The Philippine interim President Aquinado sent someone to sum up by letter. I hope to find a viable solution for peace.
This not only surprised Sheffield, but also surprised the generals including George Dewey. They were all in this position. Are they ready to find a viable way for peace?
"It's a joke. Isn't peace the Filipinos' right?" MacArthur said dismissively. "With the strength of our expeditionary forces, we can solve all problems."
"No, if some of the enemies can be disintegrated, it will be beneficial to the expeditionary forces. Arthur!" As the chief of the expeditionary army, General Merritt had a different view and said, "Listen to him first Something. "
George Dewey also nodded, because Aquinado, who was escorted back by the US Navy, was used to cause trouble for the Spaniards, but no one thought that things would evolve so quickly. At the beginning, the two parties who had fought hand in hand had turned against each other so quickly.
But George Dewey still knows about Aquinado. He is not a very determined person. Such an enemy is already a good choice in the enemy category.
"Is there any information about this person? I want to see it. It is better to have photos!" Sheffield was also curious. Soon a naval officer brought Aquinado's information and photos. Aquinado I was escorted back by the Navy Fleet Hu. I had exchanges and photos on the warship.
Emilio Aquinado was born in the family of wealthy farmer and mayor of Caviteilbe, Cavite, Cavite Province, Luzon. He lost his father in the year and dropped out of junior high school to help the widow manage the farm. He then graduated from the University of St. Thomas in Manila.
After his father, he was elected mayor of Cavite Erbe to gain self-government for the city and was the first mayor after the establishment of the city. The following year with Ilaria, De, Rosario. Quinado refused to obey his leadership, resulting in a confrontation between the two resistance groups in Cavite. Because Aquinado feared the in-depth development of the revolution, especially the peasant land revolution would harm the interests of the landlord and bourgeoisie, he rallied the local forces in Cavite, pretending that Bonifacio did not serve as a leader and usurped the revolutionary leadership Quan, then, wounded and captured Bonifacio during the attack, killing him with fabricated "treason."
How does this person look like the Chinese? Finally, I saw Aquinado's photo. Sheffield grinned secretly. He is not a white man who is generally blind to Asians. He can see that Aquinado looks different from ordinary Filipino natives. The obvious Chinese Looks. However, they have changed their names and should no longer be considered Chinese.
From Aquinado's data, Sheffield extracted several interesting points and was born with vested interests under the Spanish colonial government. At the same time, he is more afraid of losing his private industry than the so-called Philippine independence. Among the two choices of national position and class position, this person clearly focuses on class position.
Not to mention that Aquinado had compromised with the Spanish colonial government once. He had been in exile and left the Philippines to go abroad with the severance pay given by Spain.
Isn't this a Philippine version of Chang Gong? Sheffield put down Aquinado ’s information and vowed,
This man can be drawn in. Since he can surrender the Spaniard once, he can surrender to us once. This so-called local national capitalist is the best person to deal with . Only need to give him a little bit of benefit, he can sell everything. "
She is not boastful in capital, he is not very powerful, but he is certainly more professional than these military generals, not to mention that he will use the theory of capitalism to sum up the opposite. These little Bourgeois, in the face of his true monopoly imperialism, is really not an enemy.
An analysis of Aquinado from the capital made the generals of the navy and army feel the capital ’s analysis of the comprador bourgeois class. George Dewey and General Merritt both deeply agreed. Look, we The big companies in the United States are different. This is called professionalism, and they have insight into the weakness of this interim president.
"In this way, we still have to adopt an attitude of enthusiasm for the people of Aquinado, and we must chase down the resistance resistance." Several generals quickly formulated a policy of talking while talking.
"Then send representatives of the negotiations and have a good talk with the Philippine Provisional Government. During this time, we have to dig deeper to find out, those people are the enemies of the United States, and those who are like Aquinado can be drawn. For Aquinado himself, we do not mind giving him a little benefit, as long as he can occupy the entire territory of the Philippines, this is not a problem. "General Merritt made a concluding speech.
"Actually, why can't we let William come forward and send someone to contact Aquinado?" MacArthur blurted out. "William is a businessman. He knows more about Aquinado than any of us."
When MacArthur opened his mouth, he immediately aroused the consent of the generals. It seemed very reasonable! MacArthur nodded to Sheffield and said no thanks!
"Thank you so much!" Sheffield smiled, wishing to strangle MacArthur.
