() Using the children of other countries to help their own country fight is what Americans like to do most. What’s more, the Taiwanese army even brings its own supplies, so it won’t bother the Americans at all. Where can they find such suitable thugs?
As for recognizing Taiwan's legal status and establishing diplomatic relations with Taiwan, these are not worth a penny. Moreover, establishing diplomatic relations with Taiwan is not unprofitable. Taiwan's camphor exports alone account for more than 70% of the world's.
Sugar, cars, firearms, agriculture
Things like medicine can be exported. In addition, the petroleum, machinery, minerals, chemical raw materials and other materials Taiwan imports from the Americans every year are also a big deal. Therefore, the Americans feel that if diplomatic relations are established, diplomatic relations will be established. As for whether their British cousin is happy or not. , I really can’t care about it. If my cousin is angry, then my American cousin will drag my cousin to negotiate with Taiwan. It’s so boring to fight back and forth. Why don’t we all sit together and say hello, me, hello everyone, earn more. A little money is worse than anything else.
Allocating Mindanao to the Taiwanese military as a jurisdiction is a clever trick played by the Americans. Mindanao is not only a place with complex terrain, but also a chaotic ethnic composition. There are not only Du Li uprisings, but also various ethnic vendettas. In addition,
There are large swaths of rainforests, mountains, and jagged coastlines. The American Endeng area is the area with the greatest casualties.
Mindanao is the fourteenth largest island in the world, second only to Luzon in area, and the second largest island in the Philippines. The island is mountainous and plateau-covered, with Mount Apo, the highest mountain in the Philippines, and the largest river in the Philippines
, Mindanao River. The vegetation on the island is mainly tropical rainforest, and the coastline is very tortuous, with many peninsulas and bays.
Mindanao is located in the southern part of the Philippines. It has a very irregular shape and covers an area of more than 90,000 square kilometers. It faces the Visayas to the north, Palawan and Sulu Islands to the west, and Kalimantan to the south. The south side of the island
Davao City was established when the Spanish first ruled it in the 15th century. The main local ethnic groups are Muslims, Visayans, Tagalogs, Chinese, Japanese, Spanish and more than ten ethnic groups.
And religion is even more
It’s complicated. Catholicism accounts for an absolute majority here, reaching 70%, followed by Muslims, Christianity, Buddhism, etc. Although Catholic believers account for the majority, Muslims have a very high status here. These Muslim believers have resisted Spain since the 15th century.
The people continued to resist the Americans until the 19th century. It is estimated that once the Taiwanese army arrives on Mindanao, these Muslims will have another target to resist--the Taiwanese.
The first to arrive in Davao City this time was the 1st Mountain Brigade of the 4th Taiwan Division. Most of the soldiers in this mountain brigade are Taiwanese ethnic minorities. They have grown up in the mountains of Taiwan for generations and hunt for meat and fur.
Health. Since Taiwan announced du
After li, the stormtroopers and the Ministry of Internal Affairs sent teams into the depths of the mountains many times, found these villages and tribes, and advised them to leave the mountains and live a more prosperous life on the plains. Most mountain tribes were attracted by the easy life under the mountains.
Attracted, they gradually gave up their original life of hunting in the mountains and forests, and slowly migrated to the nearby plains to rely on themselves.
The land given to Fu led a stable life, and the few remaining tribes that refused to go down the mountain all disappeared in their territory in the following years. Liu Fu would never allow any people to live within his management scope.
The existence of a force that is unwilling to cooperate with itself, especially within Taiwan, is not allowed.
These natural hunters and sons of the mountains are not adapted to the monotony of life in the plains, and often migrate to nearby villages and towns. Because their living habits and customs are different from those of most Taiwanese, they often conflict with the locals.
This led to a life-and-death lawsuit. At that time, Taiwan was just in time to expand its army for the first time. Therefore, most of these mountain people, who were fierce and advocating fighting, joined the Taiwan Army and were centralized and assigned together, plus other
soldiers and established Taiwan's first mountain brigade.
This time, the Taiwan Army was sent to fight in the Philippines. When they heard that the area assigned to the Taiwan Army was the mountainous and forested Mindanao Island, the staff immediately thought of this mountain brigade. The brigade commander of the 1st Mountain Brigade of the 4th Division was from Taiwan.
What is the natal name of the local mountain man? I guess he himself
I can't figure it out either. Their national custom is that the elders change their names after their sons. That is to say, when you give birth to your first boy, you give him a name. Then, the child's father, mother, grandfather, and nainai all follow the child's name.
Name, I changed my name, so, yes
For him, who was among the first batch to enter primary school in Taiwan and had just given birth to his first boy, it was really difficult to know what his name should be, unless he returned to his ethnic group and consulted the elders who were very clear about the ethnic rules.
, so you can know your name, but you don’t have to worry about it now.
He gave himself a Han Chinese name, Liu Xiaofu, to commemorate the time when his mother and son almost starved to death in the mountains, but a prospecting team of current President Liu Fu rescued them, and Liu Fu personally rescued them
He was placed in a pharmaceutical factory and sent to school as a little mountain man.
Brigadier Liu Xiaofu came to the Philippines this time with only an engineering regiment and a guard company. He was only responsible for establishing the Taiwan Army's headquarters in the Philippines and some infrastructure in Davao City. Most of the security work was handled by the local US garrison.
In a month's time, the remaining 4,000 Taiwanese Army personnel will officially land on Mindanao and conduct a formal handover with the local U.S. garrison.
Davao City is located at the southern tip of Mindanao. It is the farthest place in the Philippines from Taiwan. The straight-line distance from Tainan is more than 1,800 kilometers, and the sea route distance is more than 2,000 kilometers. Most of the islands in the Philippine Islands are in earthquake zones and typhoon zones.
middle, and
There are only two seasons: rain and dry season every year. The geographical location of Davao City is very good. It is neither in the earthquake zone nor the typhoon zone. There is no obvious rain and dry season, so it is the same all year round.
The climate is at the junction of spring and summer, with clear skies during the day and light rain at night.
During the hundreds of years of Spanish rule, no industry or commerce developed in the area. It was basically a seaport city with agriculture as its main source of income. Large areas of banana, pineapple, coffee bean and coconut plantations occupied the large areas around the city.
In part of the land, watermelon, mango, durian, grapefruit, rambutan and other tropical fruits are produced all year round.
In recent years, many Japanese people have come here to buy land and plant Manila hemp for processing and export. In addition, due to the dense rainforest surrounding it, there are very rich timber resources. In addition, it is close to the sea, and there are various
The seafood grown is edible. However, because the water depth in the port is not very deep, Davao City’s port cannot dock large cargo ships and warships.
Liu Xiaofu and his men, with the assistance of the local American garrison, chose a highland not far from the port to establish a headquarters and temporary military camp. This highland was not very far from the US Army garrison and the port in the city.
It is far away, the transportation is relatively convenient, and it is relatively far from plantations and rainforests, with a wide view, making it more suitable as a military camp.
The size of the camp was temporarily set at 5,000-8,000 people. The Taiwanese construction company that came with the army was responsible for the design and supervision. The specific construction relied on the engineering group brought by Liu Xiaofu. The building materials were basalt, which is abundant in the local area.
and granite, both of which are formed by the cooling and solidification of volcanic lava at different bottom layers. Basalt is porous and brittle, although it is difficult to
Large pieces of stone are harvested, but they are good raw materials for firing cement, and they have important uses in industrial production such as steelmaking and grinding. Granite is easy to use due to its high hardness, wear resistance, not easy to weather, beautiful patterns, etc.
It is a high-quality building material due to its easy-to-cut characteristics. Coupled with the abundance of various types of wood in the local area, it is not difficult at all to build a small army camp.
However, Liu Xiaofu did not have time to mine all these materials himself. He could only have the local US military contact the locals to purchase them on his behalf, then transport them to the vicinity of the camp, where they would be further processed by Taiwanese engineers and then transported to the construction site for use. The United States soon provided Taiwan with
The army found several local stone and timber dealers, negotiated the price and construction period, and began to prepare to go there.
Deliveries were delivered at the construction site. As for why the US military here was so cooperative, Liu Xiaofu also tentatively asked several junior US military officers who had contact with him. After smoking high-end cigarettes produced in Taiwan, drinking Taiwanese liquor and wiping
After taking the Taiwanese army's special insecticide, these American junior officers immediately told the truth: they were eager to kill themselves right away.
They want to give up their own camp to the Taiwanese Army so that they can quickly escape from this poor place full of hills and big trees. Not only is the environment here desolate, but the folk customs are also very tough. Almost every week, the American garrison will be attacked by local armed forces on the edge of the city.
An attack by a large number of troops, ranging from injuring several people to killing several Americans at worst, last month, the U.S. military garrison here
The lieutenant was ambushed and killed by the locals while inspecting the US military sentry on the edge of the city. None of the seven accompanying American soldiers came back, and the locals hung the lieutenant's body upside down at the city gate.
, even the eyeballs and genitals were cut off, so the American troops stationed here were looking forward to someone replacing them as soon as possible.
