Chapter 33 There is movement in the Philippines

() It turns out that due to the Taiwanese garrison's massive search for Japanese plantation owners and Japanese businessmen on Mindanao, some Japanese people fled back to Japan and cried out to the Japanese government about their pitiful experiences in the Philippines.

After the Japanese government learned about the situation, although they were very angry, they had nothing to do with Taiwan's military. Now Japan's domestic economy is on the verge of collapse, and there is also a local food shortage. These are all thanks to the Taiwanese government.

Thanks to fu, those damn Taiwanese submarines have basically blocked Japan's westward maritime access, making Japan, which is already short of supplies, even more lacking. Although it can purchase some minerals and supplies from the United States, the prices and costs are high.

It is difficult for Japan and enterprises to accept it in the long term.

Now, the Taiwanese army has begun to persecute Japanese businessmen on the Philippine Islands ruled by the Americans. Although the Japanese government cannot fight, they can sue. Therefore, from non-governmental organizations, there are waves of people going to the Japanese government.

The United States, met with various congressmen and dignitaries, and preached Taiwan's cruelty and Japan's innocence to every American.

Just like today's international society, if there are people who like you, there will definitely be people who don't like you. In the American government, there are also forces that don't like the existence of the new regime in Taiwan, and their energy is no less powerful than other forces.

, and Japan’s own accusation has become a powerful weapon for these people to attack the Taiwan regime.

Among the many motions they proposed, some of the issues were actually very close to the actual situation, but they were all fabricated out of thin air by the legislators and politicians through imagination and reasoning. Even they themselves may not believe the reasons they proposed.

But what does it matter? In order to achieve personal or group goals, not telling the truth or telling less truth is a very beneficial method.

Among these bills targeting Taiwan, the most heated debate between several forces is about whether Taiwan is suitable to be an ally of the United States in the Far East and how to control Taiwan's strength from growing too fast. On these issues, the Morgan family and

Some congressmen supported by the Mobil Oil family are more inclined to support Taiwan's rise in the Far East and use Taiwan's military strength to further curb the development of Britain, France, Germany, Russia and other countries in the Far East, so that the United States can catch up and occupy this huge market.

.

The other faction of congressmen, led by the majority of congressmen from the east, believe that Taiwan's development speed is a bit fast. Not only is its naval strength unpredictable, but it is also very aggressive in industry and commerce. Recently, Taiwan has appeared in the United States.

Various Taiwanese products have not only captured part of the market that originally belonged to Europe or the United States, but the technical content of those products has also forced these legislators who are concerned about the country and the people to pay more attention to Taiwan. In addition, they believe that it is not good to compare with Taiwan.

control of zheng

If we cooperate with Japan, it is better to continue to support Japan, and by relying on Japan, we can also achieve the goal of curbing the development of several European countries in the Far East.

Faced with the constant debate about Taiwan in Congress, William Howard Taft, the new president of the Democratic Party who had just succeeded President Roosevelt last year, was also caught in deep contradictions.

In this era of the United States, the Republican Party represented the interests of steel, railroads, finance and the middle class most of the time. Their enthusiasm for business was much stronger than their enthusiasm for national, territorial and other issues; while the Democrats were mainly composed of

It is composed of Irish and German immigrants and Catholics. They are more concerned and conservative about issues such as ethnicity, skin color, and religion.

Although Taft belonged to the Republican Party, he could not ignore the increasing number of members of Congress raising the issue of controlling Taiwan. Moreover, Japan's diplomacy was very successful this time. Not only did he cry out about his misfortune, he also reported that Taiwan was suspected of sneak attacks that year.

When the eight-nation coalition fleet and the six nations attacked Taiwan, the tragic situation of the navy being ruthlessly defeated off the coast of Taiwan was brought out again.

The Communist Party members were very angry when they saw these things that had nothing to do with the United States. They could not stand the slaughter and bullying of white people by yellow people, and they were not willing to see the country where their ancestors lived being bullied by these yellow people.

, a huge political wave launched by the eastern United States against Taiwan swept across.

In this operation, the eastern congressmen successfully aroused the sympathy of some American people. Relying on several large-scale public demonstrations, they quickly attracted some middle-power congressmen and vetoed the proposal in Congress to move to the Philippines.

A resolution to send additional troops to Taiwan. These congressmen also proposed a bill asking the U.S. government to mediate relations between Taiwan and Japan. However, this bill, which made most U.S. congressmen feel sore, was quickly rejected.

Since he cannot get more reinforcements, the U.S. Governor in Taiwan has no good solution. He can only use the current strength to control cities at all levels, and then cooperate with the blockade of U.S. warships to slowly reduce the strength of the guerrillas.

Large-scale attacks on areas where guerrillas exist and manhunt operations cannot be carried out effectively.

The Americans did not have enough troops, but the "Filipino" organization began to develop on a large scale. Their number increased from more than 500 when they first landed on Mindanao to more than 3,000 when they established the "Filipino" organization.

After going to Luzon Island and attacking the US military base, this group

The organization's development has snowballed to more than 9,000 people, with a total of more than 20 guerrilla groups spread across various islands between Mindanao and Luzon. However, among the more than 9,000 people, only more than 1,200 are the main force.

, the other teams are just remaining guerrillas everywhere, these

They were squeezed out by the Taiwanese garrison in 2011, and they had no choice but to defect to the more powerful "Filipino" organization. Members of these external organizations will be identified and trained in batches by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and they will be suitable for

Those who join will be kept, just like joining the main guerrilla army, while those who are not suitable will be

Provide some supplies to support them in continuing to fight in the original area, and follow the organization's command when needed. Those who feel suspicious or unsafe will also be dispersed and absorbed into the main guerrillas, but what awaits them

There is only one result, which is to die heroically in a certain action.

According to Liu Fu's instructions, the "Filipino" organization launched attacks against the U.S. military in many places on Luzon Island from the end of 1910 to the middle of 1911. Some of them used the mass murder weapon of "heartless running".

, some planted bombs or simply suicide bombs in markets and roadsides. These attacks, which came and went without a trace and were extremely brutal, severely damaged the morale of the US military in the Philippines.

When you can't judge where you are safe, your tense nerves can easily collapse. The US military's nerves are tense because they don't know that the Filipino walking on the street is hiding something under his clothes.

If you are armed with explosives, you don't know if a little Filipino girl will suddenly escape with a poisoned sharp knife and scratch your skin, let alone if you close your eyes and sleep in the station, you will still be able to see the sun tomorrow.

So, this kind of pressure suddenly broke out one day. A group of American soldiers patrolling Angeles, the second largest city in Luzon Island, heard a sound coming from the market and suspected it was a gunshot.

, in panic, this group of American soldiers opened fire on the crowd in the market, killing more than 30 Filipino citizens on the spot, including a local religious leader.

At this time, the Filipinos in Angeles City gave up. They attacked the group of American soldiers who fired with rocks, bows and arrows and all the weapons they could get, and killed three American soldiers. Although this time

The siege was dispersed by the US military who arrived later, but during the entire sao riot, a total of 109 Filipino citizens died, including a local religious leader, 3 family members of the leader, and 2 children. Their father was a local big man.

Rich businessman.

Regarding this Sao chaos, the US military did not comfort and deal with it in time. It just regarded it as an act of local hostility and ignored it. However, the successors and believers of this religious leader had no intention of forgetting this incident.

Through the contact of the wealthy businessman who had lost a pair of children, he quickly developed a relationship with the guerrillas outside Angeles City, and became the guerrillas' internal agent in Angeles City.
