Chapter 182: The Original Intention of Killing
As the gunfire on the manor subsided, the natives who tried to attack the manor, as well as those who tried to pick up bargains, were all killed on the south side of the manor. The special combat team responsible for defense and attack did not suffer any casualties.
The only thing consumed may be the ammunition that Zhao Tiehu and the others brought over. But for Zhao Tiehu, these ammunition only need to wait for the next batch of ships to arrive, and I believe that these ammunition will be replenished soon.
What's more, in his exchanges with the US military officers and consuls stationed in Manila in the past few days, Zhao Tiehu also proposed to purchase a batch of arms from the US military. As for what to do with the purchase of arms, Zhao Tiehu naturally said that he would ship them to China for the purpose of the Anti-Japanese War.
For a long time, there have been US military forces that planned to dump arms on the Chinese Anti-Japanese War troops, even if they felt that this matter was a little inappropriate. But they still couldn't stop the enthusiasm of the arms dealer giants, and they sent people to contact David about the arms procurement.
After all, Zhao Tiehu told the US military that as long as they shipped the weapons they purchased to Hong Kong. The rest of the things will not bother the US military to worry about. In this way, the US military does not have to worry about annoying the little devils at all.
It's just that on the price of arms, Zhao Tiehu naturally can't give too high a price. But even so, for the US arms companies that urgently need to expand the Asian market, they will not miss such an opportunity.
Even on the US Navy, Zhao Tiehu also ordered two 500-ton ironclad warships. Although there are not many such warships, the US military can still feel that Zhao Tiehu is really worth a lot of money.
In addition, Zhao Tiehu also said that if the US military is willing to form a series of cooperation with him. Zhao Tiehu may also send a follow-up order larger than this arms purchase order to the US military.
If the U.S. military thinks that this business is not easy to do, Zhao Tiehu believes that Britain and France, which are European powers, should not refuse such a money-making opportunity. Under such a large order, the US military stationed in Manila made friends with Zhao Tiehu even more.
Such big financiers are rare in Asia. Even if there are US troops who are worried about Zhao Tiehu and others carrying so many weapons into Manila. But the consul and the U.S. generals in Manila said there was nothing to worry about.
Even the commander of the U.S. military in Manila said very directly: "From the telegram sent by the consulate in Shanghai, we can believe that Chen is very friendly to our United States of America, and has been promoting our United States goods."
As for the guys he brought to Manila, or some say it was a force. But we have a powerful fleet and an elite army, tens of thousands of troops, are we still afraid of these hundreds of Chinese?
Most importantly, the government attaches great importance to this person, and has also investigated that this person is very prestigious among the Chinese in Southeast Asia. If we can deal with him well, our goods and weapons can become the first choice of Chinese people in Southeast Asia.
If we reject his sincerity in releasing him, not to mention that the members of Congress will be very unhappy with us. I'm afraid that many of us won't even be able to receive our salaries. Is this the result you want?
One more thing, since this person arrived in Manila, many of you have benefited a lot, right? And from the time he arrived in Manila to the present, has he caused us trouble? If there isn't, why should we restrict them?
Compared with the Chinese, who are timid but hardworking, the natives here have always been hostile to us. If he can recruit more Chinese, it will also be more conducive to our control of the Philippines. This is very beneficial to us, so why be hostile to them? ”
With the words of the commander of the garrison, coupled with the decisions made by the US military's top brass and some congressmen in the national government, Zhao Tiehu's status in the US military in Manila has rapidly improved. Naturally, there has been a lot more cooperation with the US military.
Hax, who was invited this time, was worried earlier that cooperating with Zhao Tiehu privately to make a profit would cause the dissatisfaction of the garrison commander. But at a meeting of the officers, Harks undoubtedly breathed a sigh of relief.
Seeing that Li Hao came to report the end of the battle, Zhao Tiehu also said in a timely manner: "Major Hax, you can send a telegram to your patrol battalion so that they can come over." We must go and destroy the base camp of the rebels! ”
'Oh! Is the battle over? ’
'Hmmm! The rebels who attacked the manor have been wiped out by my escort. If the Major doesn't think it's too bloody, we can go and see it together. In fact, I hate to see bloody scenes like that. ’
By the time Harks sent a telegram at the manor, a U.S. patrol battalion that had been assembled on standby quickly boarded the car and rushed to the manor. And at this moment in the manor, many people are cleaning up the corpses.
Even if the guests who come to the manor tonight are mostly businessmen or serving soldiers who are born in the military. But seeing the scene of the massacre, as well as the piles of loot captured, these foreigners all had the urge to vomit.
Only Zhao Tiehu said calmly: "Big head, let's speed up and clean up these corpses." And of course, don't forget to leave Major Harks with some recognizable corpses of the bandits.
Our manor was able to withstand the onslaught of the rebels tonight, thanks to the help of Major Harks and the other officers. It's their spoils, and we're going to keep them for them, you know? ”
'Yes, young master! ’
After Zhao Tiehu's explanation, Hax and the garrison officers who were invited to come were very happy. After all, it is also one of the duties of their garrison to encircle and suppress these rebel forces that cause destruction.
There are hundreds of rebel troops who were wiped out by Zhao Tiehu's escort this time, and with these captured trophies, I believe that some local natives who do not want to see the indigenous people slaughtered by the US military will not be able to say anything.
The suppression of these indigenous rebels is itself a policy that the U.S. military has been practicing. As long as there is evidence to prove that the natives who were killed were rebels, I believe that the other natives will not dare to say anything even if they are dissatisfied.
'Thank you! Chen, you are such a trustworthy and good friend! ’
Facing the thanks of Hax and others, Zhao Tiehu said with a smile: "I have always been very enthusiastic about my friends. What's more, I also hope that you can take up more important positions here, so that we will have more opportunities to make money! ”
'Oh! That's what you call a win-win, right? ’
'Yes! Don't you think that this kind of cooperation can benefit both of us, and we can earn the wealth and status we want? As long as we work hard, I believe this will be our place of nuggets. ’
Some of the mutilated corpses were quickly cleaned up by the guards outside the manor, and incendiary materials were erected for incineration. As for why he didn't bury it, the reason was that Zhao Tiehu didn't want the corpses to pollute the plots around his manor.
And tonight's battle was also seen by some of the Chinese hired men who worked on the manor. When the battle began, the Chinese hired men were taken aback. But the final result shocked every Chinese.
These natives who were extremely vicious in the past were so easily wiped out in the manor. Most importantly, the owner of the manor seems to have been praised by those foreigners, which is indeed surprising to these Chinese hired people.
After all, the U.S. military stationed in Manila has always implemented very strict control measures against the illegal possession of weapons by Chinese and natives. Except for some Chinese leaders in Manila, whose family guards are equipped with guns, ordinary people cannot buy weapons at all.
But now the owner of the manor, not to mention having a lot of weapons, even a few machine guns that many Chinese have only heard of but have never seen. It was these machine guns that made the natives who attacked tonight powerless to resist.
After a short period of panic and vomiting, looking at the many natives who were burned by a fire, many Chinese hired workers felt that this feeling was too rare. And the wolf warriors around him also started publicity in a timely manner.
'Did you see what happened to these people?' Our young master is friends with foreigners, and he also has an elite army under him. In the future, if you are bullied by the natives, you can all seek the help of our young master.
Our young master, like you, came to Manila to beg for a living. He also said that only when all Chinese people are united, we will not be bullied by others. From now on, those natives should not dare to provoke our manor again.
If you are in the city in the future and you encounter natives who oppress you, you can ask our young master for help. Our young master will definitely make the decision for you. When spring starts next year, you can even come here to farm and build houses. ’
Taking this opportunity, Zhao Tiehu showed his grandeur among the Chinese for the first time. And this incident will also let the Chinese in Manila know that they also have a stronger backing in Manila.
As long as it can gain the recognition and support of a large number of Chinese expatriates, it will also play a very important role in establishing a permanent base for Wolf Warriors in the Philippines in the future. After all, it is too slow and a waste of money to rely on internal migration alone.
After cleaning up the battlefield, the U.S. patrol battalion, which was ordered to arrive, also arrived at the manor by car. Zhao Tiehu, who had already detected the location of this group of rebel troops, quickly sent several guides and a team of people to rush to the mountains dozens of miles away with the patrol battalion.
In the past, it would not be easy for the patrol battalion to successfully destroy this rebel camp. But this time, with the wolf scouts as guides, the American soldiers of these patrol battalions could easily reach the periphery of the camp.
Looking at the natives in the camp and trying to make a final resistance, Harks, as the commander, also said heroically: "Rush in and destroy this rebel camp!" Kill! ”
Under the orders of Hax, hundreds of American troops patrolling the battalion quickly broke through the opponent's defensive alert. It didn't take long for the entire patrol battalion to storm the rebel camp in the mountains, shooting the fleeing rebels.
Not long after, the patrol battalion was still in the camp of the rebels, rescuing several American businessmen who had been kidnapped by the rebels earlier. Seeing these rescued businessmen, Hax also knew that this credit was enough for him to move up to the next level!
