This kind of declaration of war is normal in Europe. War in the colonies of various countries generally does not harm the mainland. This is the rule of the game. After all, the relations between European countries are complicated. If it really wants to lead to a war, it might just end up bleeding each other across Europe. These ghosts
I'm very smart, it's not worth it for a few monkeys.
As soon as he received the declaration of war from the German and Russian ministers, Prime Minister Canovas almost cried. If you want the Philippines, just say it clearly. Why are you doing so much and declaring war? What can we use to fight you? Any one of you is enough.
Crush us.
He is a smart man. The Philippines cannot be saved. Even without Germany and Russia, such a quagmire is not worth wasting money and soldiers' lives. With Spain's national strength, it is impossible to deal with two battlefields at the same time. Cuba is the one who must go all out.
If this is the case, then just sell the Philippines. Maybe you can get a good price and buy some arms to supplement the Cuban battlefield. In this way, the war has not really started yet, and the Spaniards have already started negotiations with Germany and Russia.
At the same time, German and Russian troops stationed in Asia began to land in Batangas one after another, which made the monkeys very excited. They thought that these international friends were coming to help them fight the Spanish. Unfortunately, those American volunteers did not know that they were motivated by
Regardless of his psychology, he bid farewell to them and left. Of course, this little thing is not worth mentioning.
The reinforcements of the German and Russian troops to the Philippines were very busy for the landing ships under Yang Feng. Because they liked this kind of fast and unrestricted special troop transport ship so much, both countries rented it at the same time, and within half a month they each sent it to the Philippines.
The increase of 20,000 troops did not lead to a real fight with the Spaniards, but it also allowed the monkeys to see their bright and brilliant future.
Unfortunately, what they didn't know was that Germany and Russia had already reached an agreement on how to carve up the Philippines. Luzon would belong to Russia, and the other islands would belong to Germany. As for Panay Island, it would have to be given to Yang Feng. This is just a trivial matter.
He has already occupied that place, so we can't get into a fight with him over such a small island!
Prince Yang expressed great agreement with this plan. Although it would be a pity not to see the war between Germany, Russia and Spain, in fact he also knew that this war could not be fought. The gap in strength between the two sides was too great. As long as Spain did not let its brains kick in.
, then they would definitely not choose a real war, so this proposal was quickly placed on the negotiating table in Paris.
The Spaniards' asking prices were 40 million rubles and 10 million gold marks respectively. As for Yang Feng's price for buying Panay Island, it was 2 million pounds. This price was obviously higher than the price they had historically sold to the Americans.
It was almost twice as high, but the Germans were only willing to pay 5 million gold marks, and the Russians were only willing to pay 20 million rubles. As for Yang Feng’s offer, they would build six more destroyers for free, including supporting torpedoes.
Three ships can be delivered immediately.
The two sides began to bargain. As for the German and Russian armies on the battlefield, they also began to advance northward. The Spanish army did not make any resistance and all retreated to Manila. Including the troops responsible for dealing with Bonifashow in the north also retreated to Manila, where
The city suddenly accumulated nearly 30,000 Spanish troops, and more than 100,000 civilians. Of course, these civilians were retreating on a large scale. The German and Russian fleets at sea did not stop it, but only blocked Manila Bay and prohibited Spanish warships from sailing out.
In this way, Aguinaldo and Bonifa showed great joy. Their armies scrambled for territory like crazy, and even a large-scale firefight broke out in order to compete for control on the north bank of the inner lake. The well-equipped Aguinaldo army and momentum
The rainbow-like Bonifaxiu army fought until rivers of blood flowed, and corpses were scattered all over the field. These monkeys killed each other even more ruthlessly than the Spaniards. The Spaniards killed the families of the rebels. At least there was a trial process. The monkeys are not particular about it.
In this way, anyone who has relatives in the opposing army, young or old, will be dragged out and beheaded, and some will even be killed with cruel means, unleashing the tyrannical emotions suppressed in their nature.
Prince Yang naturally welcomed this kind of thing. Under his instruction, Li Hongzhang tried his best to sell arms to Aguinaldo, and Ye Anping also tried his best to stuff weapons for Bonifa Show. Anyway, this guy had little to gain from beating the rich.
Well, both sides now have almost all the latest weapons. At this time, Yang Feng no longer has to hide them, and directly supplies the latest Bofors rifles. Anyway, without bullets, that thing is like a fire stick. Let’s talk about this issue later.
There is no need for Yang Feng to have a headache. Luzon is not his territory. If he does have a headache, it is also a headache for the Russians.
After almost a month of negotiations, the Spaniards finally accepted the conditions. Germany, Russia and China signed contracts with the Spaniards in Paris. The Spanish government transferred the sovereignty of Luzon Island to Russia for 20 million rubles. Medan
Lao, Mindoro and other islands were transferred to Germany at a price of five million gold marks. Panay Island and the surrounding affiliated islands, as well as Palawan Island and affiliated islands, which were originally used as prisoner penal sites, were transferred to Germany with six destroyers and two
The landing ship was transferred to China in exchange.
Thus began a more bloody war.
The poor Filipinos don't even know that they have been sold. They are fighting each other for territory!
"What did you say?" Liu Hengzhu was stunned by the news. This news was like a bolt from the blue to him.
"General Abao, it's too late to elaborate. The Spanish have reached a contract with Germany and Russia and sold the sovereignty of the Philippines to them. The German and Russian armies have formulated a plan to raid you. I am risking my head to inform you.
You, hurry up and take our overseas Chinese to retreat south and wait for our ship in Batangas, otherwise you will die here together." Wang Jingzong said anxiously, Yang Feng did not want these overseas Chinese to be killed in this upcoming city.
The island turned into a hell and everything was destroyed.
The Spanish army has begun to retreat. The German and Russian armies that were originally responsible for besieging Manila then aimed their guns at the monkeys. A secret sneak attack plan has been formulated. The Russian army's target is Bonifashow, and the German army's target is Aquila.
Naduo, when Wang Jingzong informed Liu Hengzhu, Ye Anping also told Bonifaxiu the same news.
These people cannot die too quickly. Prince Yang still expects them to fight the Russians on Luzon Island for three to five years.
"This, this is impossible!" Liu Hengzhen exclaimed like a collapse, which is indeed very frustrating. Now he and the monkeys are confidently preparing to build a new Philippines! Including what government agencies, officials at all levels, and how to develop the economy in the future
, even ambitious goals such as buying warships and building a navy were put on the agenda, but the sky fell in the blink of an eye.
"What's impossible? How can those foreign devils have any faith? Are they coming all the way just for the happiness of the Filipino people? They are the same as the Spaniards. They are just robbing the land here. Are you really
Do you think they will help the Philippines become independent? What good will that do to them? Besides, what benefits do you give them, can they be comparable to the entire Philippines?" Wang Jingzong looked at him with some fun. He really didn't understand what this Chinese thought of the Filipinos.
Come with such deep feelings.
"No, I can't abandon my comrades like this." Liu Hengzhen stood up and said firmly.
"That's up to you, but you must ask your brothers clearly. If they are willing to follow you and continue to fight alongside the Filipinos, let them. If they are not willing, you can't force them. They must evacuate to Panay Island with me." Wang
Jingzong said that he was not interested in taking care of this guy. Anyway, the prince's order was to evacuate overseas Chinese. If they were unwilling to evacuate, it was none of his business.
Liu Hengzhu nodded silently, and thousands of overseas Chinese troops under him gathered together. While Wang Jingzong personally conveyed the order to evacuate overseas Chinese, Aguinaldo, who had received Liu Hengzhu's message, also hurried over. When Wang Jingzong personally confirmed this to him,
After the bad news, His Excellency the President of the Philippines collapsed on the ground like a dog with its backbone removed.
"Get up, if we can fight the Spaniards, why can't we fight the Russians and Germans?" Liu Hengzhu grabbed him and shouted sternly.
But the President really couldn't stand up. He sat on the ground and stared blankly at the sky, with a heartbreaking weakness on his face. Wang Jingzong couldn't help but sigh.
However, the angry generals under him are all full of fighting spirit. The feeling of being betrayed can easily drive people crazy. Those guys who are looking forward to becoming marshals and governors become extremely aggressive once their dreams are shattered.
Brandishing the sword and gun in his hand, he wished he could fight the enemy right now.
"Mr. Wang, will you continue to supply us with weapons?" Encouraged by them, Aguinaldo finally regained his fighting spirit and asked.
"This will definitely happen. Li Zhongtang is also very indignant about the treacherous behavior of these foreign devils, but the supply method will be more secretive. You also know that both King Zhennan and Li Zhongtang have always had good relations with Germany and Russia.
Not bad." Wang Jingzong said.
Aguinaldo had nothing to say. In fact, as long as Li Hongzhang could continue to supply him with arms, there would be no need to supply guns anymore. If the ammunition supply was sufficient, they would have the courage to fight the invaders. This transport thing
It’s also convenient, just find a few small fishing boats to deliver it, and you can smuggle it ashore anywhere along the long coastline.
As for the overseas Chinese under Liu Hengzhen, most of them chose to leave. If you think about it with Germany and Russia, you will know how desperate this is. The reason why they are willing to help the monkeys is just to save their property and fight against the enemy.
Now that the entire Luzon Island has been smashed, there is nothing left to speak of. Many of these overseas Chinese are already disheartened. Besides, Panay Island is quite good. It is considered a wealthy place among the islands in the Philippines. Go and live there.
It's also acceptable. (To be continued...)
