These revolutionary comrades from abroad have brought valuable military experience to Bonifashow and his monkeys. Although the Paris barricades 20 years ago are essentially different from the Philippine mountains and forests now, they have also experienced real life.
The veteran who was a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood must be much better at military command than those monkeys who only know how to rush up in a chaotic swarm. With the help of these foreign revolutionaries, Bonifa, who was defeated by Pola Visha, was defeated.
The Xiu rebels gradually began to regain their strength, and attacked the Spanish army in a small-scale harassment method. In addition, the gas bombs in Pollavisha's hands were almost exhausted at this time, and the war became stalemate for a while.
The rise of beardedism in the Philippines immediately gave those evil wolves who coveted this land an excuse. Germany and Russia publicly urged the Spanish government to deal with the rebels led by Bonifashow as soon as possible, otherwise they would not be able to
He did not mind sending troops to help eradicate this cancer, especially former German Prime Minister Bismarck, who could be said to have killed the Paris Commune with his own hands. He even gave a rare interview to the Voice of Tomorrow radio station to criticize the Spanish government for lacking sufficient strength in response to the danger.
Of course the Spaniards would not lead the wolf into the house. Everyone knows what will happen with such help. As long as the German and Russian troops enter the Philippines, never expect them to leave voluntarily. Canovas quickly responded that the Spanish army can solve this problem on its own.
, no need for help from others.
While Germany and Russia were watching with eager eyes, Aguinaldo publicly led his major generals to secede from the Katipunan, and declared the Katipunan an illegal organization in the name of the hastily established Philippine interim government. He was still somewhat
Those who are experienced know that beardedism has been regarded as a public enemy by the European powers after the Paris Commune. If you get involved with this thing, you will definitely be punished.
This move was immediately affirmed by the German and Russian governments, and they publicly declared that the Spanish should seriously consider the Filipino people's demands for independence, and that it would be best to resolve the differences between the two sides through dialogue and separate the true Filipino patriots from the bearded doctrine with ulterior motives.
The Russian government also proposed that it would be best for international justice forces to intervene to prevent good people from being harmed and evil people to run rampant.
However, the Spaniards would definitely not think this way. In their opinion, both Bonifashow and Aguinaldo should be hanged, and because of the attitude of Germany and Russia, Pola Vixia increasingly felt that he was the most
In order to get rid of Aguinaldo as quickly as possible, otherwise unpredictable changes will easily occur. Anyway, Bonifa Show no longer poses a threat in a short time, so after the latest batch of gas bombs arrived, he ordered 20,000
With human strength, they launched an attack on Aguinaldo again.
Aguinaldo was not so lucky this time. In the hot environment of the Philippines, the shorts and short sleeves worn by the revolutionaries infinitely amplified the power of mustard gas. Almost no one was spared wherever the yellow poisonous mist reached, and they were frightened.
The monkeys screamed and fled in a hurry. Behind them, through the fog, dense machine gun bullets whizzed through their bodies. The dead bodies were piled up like overturned crops. They looked at this tragic scene in front of them.
Aguinaldo's hands were even shaking.
"We have failed. As long as there is such a thing, we will never be able to defeat the Spaniards!" he said in a trembling voice.
"Cheer up, you are a leader. Don't let your soldiers see your cowardice." Liu Hengzhu said seriously from the side.
"Abao, I know your good intentions, but such a battle is like a massacre. Our soldiers cannot hold any trench." Aguinaldo said frustratedly.
"Then retreat to the jungle first. As for the problem of gas bombs, we will find other ways to solve it." Liu Hengzhu said with a frown. At this time, he actually already knew how to solve it. But for a small person like himself, do you have the qualifications?
It's hard to tell which big shot you will meet, let alone influence his will.
"Oh my god, this is simply hell on earth. No, I have to tell the prince that he can no longer sell such demonic weapons to the Spaniards." At this time, a voice beside him suddenly exclaimed.
"Mr. Wang, are you a subordinate of King Zhennan?" Liu Hengzhen suddenly turned around, grabbed the shoulder of the man next to him and said.
"Is it strange? Currently, more than one-third of the technical staff in Li Zhongtang's Guangzhou Machinery Bureau are sent by the prince to help like me." Wang Jingzong, an arms engineer from the Guangzhou Machinery Bureau, said in confusion.
"Can you take me to see King Zhennan?" Liu Hengzhu said excitedly.
"I'm afraid this is not easy to handle. You also know that the prince has a distinguished status and not just anyone can see him. Besides, he is currently visiting Europe and is not in Fuzhou at all." Wang Jingzong said with a troubled expression.
"Mr. Wang, please help me! Look there!" Liu Hengzhu pointed at the position in the distance and begged. At this time, the monkeys' position had been broken through, and as time passed, the poisonous mist of mustard gas had been blown away.
The Spanish soldiers who were not willing to equip themselves with gas masks and protective clothing were searching the trenches over the piles of corpses. The bayonets in their hands were stabbed from time to time. The painful wails of the monkeys came with the wind, and the dead bodies started to appear in the trenches.
Stretching back, it was densely packed like a huge slaughterhouse. Occasionally, you could see dying people struggling and crawling, but they were quickly stepped on by the Spaniards and stabbed to death with bayonets.
On this defense line where almost no real battles took place, more than 8,000 Filipino rebel soldiers fell to the poison gas. Even veterans like Wang Jingzong who participated in the Battle of Tokyo could not bear the horrific scene of mountains of corpses and seas of blood.
I was really scared because it was winter at that time and I was protected by thick cotton clothes, so the terrifying power of mustard gas was not shown at all, but in a tropical environment this was a real evil.
"Mr. Wang, we know that the prince is friends with the King of Spain. Doing this will make it difficult for him. However, I believe that even with his kindness, he does not want to see such a massacre. This is not a war, this is a naked massacre. Please help.
Let's do it! Help the suffering Filipino people!" Liu Hengzhen knelt down before him as he spoke. Aguinaldo next to him took a look and had no choice but to kneel down with a group of generals as well.
Wang Jingzong quickly helped them up, and then hesitated for a moment before saying: "Okay, I'll go back and help you contact each other. The prince is actually a very kind man. If he knew that the Spaniards used poison gas bombs to massacre you, he would definitely do the same.
I won't agree. But after all, I am just an ordinary engineer. It is hard to say whether I can see the prince, so you'd better do some publicity yourself and let all the countries in the world know what you are going through, especially you are all Catholics.
, why not seek help from the church? If the Holy See can say a few words to you in Europe, I believe the prince will take it seriously. He respects His Majesty the Pope very much."
Liu Hengzhen and these people were a little hesitant. Although they were Catholics, in fact, the priests had been playing a dishonorable role in this revolution, including Bonifa Xiu, who was actually a Katipunan member who went to the priest to confess.
, only to be betrayed by this priest and had to flee Manila.
"You can organize a petition group to the Vatican. I have a camera here. We can take some photos of the Spanish atrocities. You find a few of the most determined revolutionary warriors and I will help you contact the merchant ships in Rome. When you get there,
, let the whole of Europe see the atrocities they have committed against you. In addition, I have several journalist friends in Europe. I will contact them to interview you, and then you hold these photos and sit in silence outside the Holy See without eating or drinking.
Sit quietly and not leave even if you starve to death. I think the Pope will definitely take it seriously." Wang Jingzong continued.
Prince Yang's goal is to give William an excuse to intervene. It can be seen that this guy is already ready to make a move. If the Spaniards massacre the Filipinos becomes a big issue in Europe at this time, then William can justifiably accuse the Spanish government.
You can also use this reason to refuse to sell any more gas bombs, but of course you must send them a shipload before doing so.
At the same time, let Li Hongzhang continue to increase arms support for Aguinaldo, so that the Spaniards can find no effective means here except poison gas bombs. After a few entanglements like this, William can send a few observers under the banner of humanitarianism.
To supervise the Spaniards, he will take care of the rest by himself. For example, if the members of the observation group are attacked by the Spanish army, wouldn't a war break out?
As for the Chinese Communist Party's participation in the war, the reason is even easier to find. For example, Bonifa Show's people killed overseas Chinese and so on. In fact, no matter how he controls it, this is inevitable. He expects his gang of thugs to be punished.
Effective restraint is a joke. So far, more than a dozen overseas Chinese have been killed. Otherwise, people like Liu Hengzhen would not have been able to support Aguinaldo so firmly.
When the Germans send troops, let Liu Hengzhen go to Fuzhou on behalf of the overseas Chinese to hold petitions and so on. Then Prince Yang, the Prime Minister of the Qing Dynasty and Minister of Foreign Affairs, can confidently send troops to come with the Germans to protect the Chinese overseas Chinese. As for the actual situation in the future
Prince Yang really hopes to carve up the Philippines. He is actually not very interested in plundering the country. What he is interested in is how to let the monkeys kill each other non-stop.
Of course, people like Liu Hengzhen and Aguinaldo must not have known that they were already involved in a series of conspiracies from the time they received arms assistance. At this time, they were crying with gratitude to Wang Jingzong. (To be continued...)
