Another Lord and Peacemaker stood up and echoed the remarks.

"That's right! You say you want to solve the problem behind your back, then you can solve it! You've won the battle! Or don't let the Chinese find it! Now not only has it been found, but it has also been completely annihilated, and after being defeated by the Chinese, it has a greater grasp and a clearer understanding of our combat effectiveness! Can this battle be fought?! ”

There was also an older neutralist official who stood up and thinned the mud.

"Mr. Governor, I won't say anything else, General Xiao has 30,000 troops and more than 300 warships under his command, and we have seen how strong the combat effectiveness is, and this time it was not only Chinese expatriates who died, but also a Chinese soldier.

If Xiao Ruxun uses such an excuse to declare war on us, it is estimated that their government will not disagree, and we, with less than a hundred warships, and an army of more than 1,200 people, even if we put together all the soldiers stationed on the surrounding islands, it will be less than 2,000 people, and we are an absolute disadvantage. ”

Saying that the facts and figures are the most convincing, there are more than 30,000 well-equipped soldiers and more than 300 warships, and the combat effectiveness of the soldiers has also been seen, and the navy has exterminated countless pirates in the South Seas, and has strength and experience, what do you want to say?

Can you fight?

The empire does not first make a war assessment when it fights, but first see whether the war has benefits for us, how many benefits there are, how much it will cost, whether it can recover the losses after the war, whether the war is fought well or not, these are all things to be evaluated.

It is not the first time in the history of the empire that a conflict has been resolved by non-war means, how did the Philippines come to be in the first place, everyone knows that it was talked about, otherwise more than 400 soldiers could fight with tens of thousands of natives? You're not holding an arquebus, it's a Gatling, right? You're not using a breech gun, it's a Katyusha rocket launcher, right?

Data and analysis are in front of them, the face of the main battle faction is very bad, it is as uncomfortable as eating, the main and the faction have the upper hand because of the support of data, the main battle faction looks at several core figures, but the faces of the core characters are not easy.

The army expressed serious concern and strong condemnation of this battle, of course, not to Xiao Ruxun, but to the leaders of the main battle faction, when they went to persuade the army to support them in a desperate battle, none of these soldiers agreed.

They don't want to sacrifice their young and precious lives for the illusory chance of victory, and they still want to return to China for promotion after the end of their service!

It is very difficult to be stationed overseas, it takes a lot of time just to arrive, and there is a danger to life, and the soldiers have accepted the government's preferential conditions, such as easy promotion and salary increase after returning, so they risk their lives to be stationed in the Philippines.

If it weren't for the pursuit of a career or the difficulty of supporting a family, these soldiers would not have come at all, it's okay to bully the natives in a small fight, you want us to fight with the Chinese, looking at those hundreds of heads, they feel fear from the heart.

Before the war was decided, the Spaniards were completely inclined to compromise and apologize, which made the main war faction very dissatisfied but helpless, and several forces supported the peace of the people, the governor was instigated, the army was instigated, the main peace faction withered, and the Catholic forces were bent on peace talks, just for their mission.

The main peace faction has the upper hand, so they decided to unanimously apologize to Xiao Ruxun, and ask Xiao Ruxun what kind of apology he needs, everyone can discuss, but do not use troops, and please give the Catholics a chance to mend their ways.

When did the Spaniards bow to the enemy when did they bow to the enemy?

Britain is not convinced? Beat! France is not convinced? Beat! The Netherlands is not convinced? Beat!

They only fought until the other side was convinced, and for this reason, they built a powerful empire, and such a powerful world empire has been broken and sunk more than once in the hands of the Chinese, and this time it is not the central government of China, but a local government and a local warlord, and he can actually mess up the Spanish sphere of influence!

How can this be relieved by the people who have marched victoriously under artillery fire? How could they accept such an outcome?

"The Governor is a complete coward! Since he took office as governor, we haven't won anything, and we've been backing down! How far do you have to retreat?

The Philippines is our colony, and His Majesty the Emperor has asked us to occupy it to support the Empire's finances! And not flinching! We don't have enough troops, so we can ask for help from home! ”

A young official looks energetic and ready to sacrifice his life for his country.

"It will take half a year to return to China, plus the time to rectify the army, and when our reinforcements come, our corpses have been assimilated by the soil."

An older official looked at the younger official calmly: "Also, do you think that our enemies are only Chinese?" The natives here are also our enemies, we have enough troops so they don't dare to turn against us, if we lose too many troops, even if we win, those cunning natives will not let us go! ”

The young official was choked and had nothing to say, but how to think about it was unwilling.

"Do we want to be like this, lose two hundred soldiers and do not protest, waiting to be sanctioned by the Chinese? What will the country say about us? Will we be able to live a good life when we return home? ”

His words are true, you said that if the Chinese did not kill those two hundred soldiers, things would have been much easier, but the Chinese killed those two hundred, and now the emperor needs to explain, and the soldiers' families also need to explain, they are facing great trouble.

However, at the moment they do not have the strength to fight with the Chinese, and even the soldiers are not willing to continue fighting, can they still fight on their own?

In the end, the people of the main battle faction made a decision - first look at Xiao Ruxun's request, if his request is reasonable, we will cooperate and maintain the status quo, and then secretly ask for more troops in the country, and when the increase in troops arrives, take the initiative to attack Myanmar and give Xiao Ruxun a little color.

If his demands are unreasonable, then refuse them directly, and never allow those foolish people of the Lord and the faction to agree casually, and ask for reinforcements from home, and then prepare for war!

At this point, if you don't fight, you won't have to play at all, so what Xiao Ruxun's requirements are, it is worth referencing, which will determine the direction of Nanyang in a section of the region in the future.

Soon, for most of the month, Xiao Ruxun's request was sent to the governor.

An indemnity of 300,000 taels of silver, as well as half of the Philippine spice trade.
