However, the Spaniards had a good idea, but unfortunately they couldn't suppress Aguinaldo without using poison gas bombs. Just as Prince Yang had seen enough performances in Europe, he finally boarded the Nautilus in Marseille Port and left France, sailing to him.
At the last stop in Crete, Aguinaldo, who had just received a batch of arms supplies from Li Hongzhang, launched another large-scale counterattack.
More importantly, he also got a group of foreign volunteers. It is said that these retired soldiers from the United States had participated in the war in Japan as mercenaries for Umbrella Company. After the war, the company reduced the number of white employees, so they all
He was fired, but now he was inspired by the just cause of the Filipino people to resist the Spanish and came to help them as a volunteer for free.
This kind of pie-in-the-sky good thing naturally moved Aguinaldo to tears. With more than a hundred international friends with extremely rich practical experience, and the latest weapons they had just received, the monkeys' combat effectiveness instantly increased.
Soaring, 50,000 Filipino rebels led by Aguinaldo and Liu Hengzhu poured out of the jungle like a tsunami, killing the Spanish with hatred.
Because gas bombs could not be used, and the concentration camps were dispersed and stationed in various places, the Spaniards, who were restrained in the face of the comeback of the monkeys, could no longer withstand it. One stronghold after another was captured one after another. The monkeys liberated from the concentration camps
They made Aguinaldo's army grow like a snowball. In less than half a month, almost all the land recovered by Pollavisha in the last offensive was taken back by the monkeys, and they also lost money.
Nearly five thousand soldiers.
Under such circumstances, the Governor does not care about the impact. If this continues, the monkeys will reach Manila, and the good situation he has worked so hard to create will be lost. He has a large number of poison gas bombs in his hands, but
He could only watch his subordinates fall to the bullets of the monkeys one by one. Not to mention him, even the officers could not accept it. Amidst the angry accusations, he finally abandoned domestic orders.
Outside Makati City, the monkeys who were launching a crazy attack were instantly destroyed. Countless poison gas bombs roared down from the sky. With a series of dense explosions in the crowd, the yellow poisonous mist spread at extremely fast speeds.
The speed began to spread, and the foreign officer who was directing the charge screamed: "Gas bombs!"
Then he hurriedly took out a gas mask from his backpack and put it on his face. Then he pulled out a rubber one-piece protective suit and put it on. He was fine. The monkeys who had no protection at all fell down.
Damn it, this was the time when they were blocked in front of the Spanish position. The density of personnel increased significantly, and the yellow poisonous mist almost completely enveloped them.
Horrified screams immediately resounded through the sky. Nearly 20,000 Filipino rebels collapsed instantly. Everyone ran like crazy, trying to stay away from this terrifying devil. Unfortunately, they were all poisoned by mustard gas before they could run a few steps.
, lying on the ground coughing in despair, behind them the Spanish machine guns were beating happily, the bullets swept in like a violent storm, and penetrated into their bodies with the burning heat of the gun barrels. The poor Filipino patriots
, and suddenly corpses littered the field.
"Retreat. Retreat! These despicable Spaniards!" Aguinaldo raised his saber and roared at the top of his lungs. He painfully watched his soldiers being slaughtered like dogs. His fear of poison gas had penetrated deep into his bones, almost
When I saw the yellow poisonous mist, I subconsciously wanted to run away.
Liu Hengzhen, who was personally directing the battle on the front line, brandished his saber and kept shouting on his horse, hoping to prevent the army from rout. However, the monkeys were as frightened as their president at this time. How could they have the courage to fight and ran away like crazy?
The monkeys even dispersed the overseas Chinese troops who were preparing to reinforce them.
"What a pity. They could have succeeded as long as they were braver, and they wouldn't even have to die so many people." An American volunteer next to him looked up and felt the wind direction and speed, and said helplessly.
The Spanish went back on their word, once again used poison gas bombs on a large scale, and massacred more than 10,000 Filipino patriots in one battle. The news soon spread throughout Europe.
The humiliated Kaiser Wilhelm announced without hesitation that he would send a 500-member military observation team to the Philippines to monitor the warring parties. Immediately afterwards, the Russian Czar also announced almost the same decision. Naturally, the Spanish government sternly refused, and even
Warning these guys with ulterior motives, the Spanish Navy will never allow other countries' troops to set foot on Philippine soil. Unfortunately, no one will listen to their threats.
After receiving domestic orders, the German Navy's Far East Fleet left Kagoshima, and the Russian Navy's Far East Fleet left Aomori, receiving supplies in Taiwan on the way. A single duel between the two fleets could almost destroy the entire Spanish Navy's huge fleet. That's it.
It attacked the Philippines aggressively. Rear Admiral Montojo, the commander of the Spanish Navy stationed in Cavite, was directly frightened by this terrible news. He only had a cruiser that could be pulled out to fight, and Tamar was an unprotected cruiser.
The opponent has a total of four first-class battleships, more than thirty protected cruisers and even armored cruisers. How can we stop this?
But in the end, he still cautiously drove the 3,000-ton unprotected cruiser Christina out to meet the German and Russian fleets off the coast of the Philippines, and then signaled with flags to the dozens of ships that any one of them would be stronger than him.
The battleship stopped, but unfortunately the other party didn't even pay attention to him, and drove directly in front of him in a mighty manner, and drove to Batangas in the southern part of Luzon Island, followed by two landing ships rented from Fuzhou in the fleet.
The port.
At this time, the port was already controlled by Aguinaldo's troops. Although they suffered a disastrous defeat in Makati and then lost the liberated area in Cavite Province, they relied on tenacious resistance, mainly of course from Polawi.
After Xia was severely reprimanded at home, he temporarily stopped using poison gas bombs. Therefore, the Philippine rebel army still firmly controls Batangas Province and southern Laguna Province, while the northern part of Laguna is Bonifaxiu's guerrilla zone.
In fact, small-scale conflicts between the two sides were also constant at this time, but with the strong enemy of the Spaniards suppressing them, they did not bother to attack each other.
The arrival of the German and Russian international supervision forces was welcomed by the monkeys like relatives. It was simply holding their hands and accusing the Spaniards of their crimes. As for the Spaniards, they could only protest, protest, and protest again, anyway.
They don't have the guts to drive them away by force, and any one of them would be just trying to crush them.
What they protested was an explanation of their righteous words. We are not invading your Spanish colonies. We are here to supervise the war between you on behalf of justice and justice to see if there is any violation of humanity.
Not only can you not reject us as an act of terrorism, but you must provide facilities for us to conduct investigations in major war zones.
Pola Vija's nose almost got angry. You broke into my house to investigate me, and you had to ask me to open the door for you. Even if Spain is not what it used to be, you can't bully people like this, right? He sealed off the areas controlled by both sides.
At the same time, he sent a telegram to the country, asking the Canovas government to negotiate with the German and Russian governments. At the same time, he also quickly cleaned up the scenes of the tragedies he caused some time ago. At this time, no one could grasp the evidence.
While European countries are debating the legality of the actions of Germany and Russia, of course there is nothing to argue about. The top six European powers have just done the same thing in Crete and have been wandering abroad for almost a year.
Prince Yang finally returned to his territory.
"Come on, come and pick one if you like it!" He pointed to the ancient Greek-style cultural relics in the cabin and said to Xue Fucheng and others who greeted him. After all, this guy dug out the Minos Palace. He
The brigade sent to the Ottoman Empire to participate in the war specially assigned a regiment to force a landing in Heraklion to complete the archaeological work for him.
Although the situation on the island of Crete was extremely complicated at this time, there were the coalition forces of various countries that had just announced the implementation of autonomy under the joint protection of European powers, the Cretan rebel army against Turkey, the Turkish army that came to suppress it, and the Greek army that supported the rebel army.
The army overwhelmed a small island, but no one wanted to provoke the Chinese who came under the banner of the Ottomans.
Besides, this group did not take any further action after occupying the vicinity of Heraklion. They hooked up with little Greek girls there every day. Although the two parties did not understand each other's language, they could not stand it. These rich people had money and sufficient supplies.
Because of the difficult life of the war, Greek women were still willing to exchange some food or medicine from these Orientals for a night of romance. This behavior made everyone in the military of various countries pay attention, and even concluded that the reason why these Chinese people landed on Crete was
, just come to the island to play with women, the face of the nouveau riche is outrageously ugly.
However, what they didn't expect was that after they played for more than a month, an archaeological team from Sweden announced news that shocked the world in their control area. They dug up the legendary Minoan Palace.
After some dumbfounding, all European countries suddenly realized that these guys who had been causing trouble for a long time really had a purpose.
But it was already too late by this time. The Minos Palace was under the control of the Chinese army, and even the excavation work was done by those soldiers. What was dug out was unknown to the outside world. Anyway, when they finally made it public, this legendary
The palace is obviously inconsistent with its identity. As for why this situation occurred that is puzzling to the archaeological community, just refer to the British Museum.
