Chapter 220: Philippine Government Response

"It's fake, isn't it?" An older congressman swallowed and whispered a question, but soon a man in military uniform walked through the gates of Congress and handed over a report. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

The president of the Philippines only roughly scanned his eyes twice, and immediately nodded affirmatively: "It's true!" ā€

"Wow!"

The scene immediately exploded like a frying pan, and all the parliamentarians were full of disbelief, this matter can be said to be the most difficult thing for the Philippine government in decades, a regiment of soldiers was destroyed, equivalent to one-twentieth of the Philippines' armed forces were wiped out so silently, even if there was no thing during the Mindanao Independence War in the Philippines before, the biggest casualty at that time was only a company of soldiers was destroyed.

"Silence, silence, councillors, now is not the time to be surprised, we should think about what to do!" President Filipino looked at the scene like a vegetable market and shouted loudly.

"What else can I do, didn't I send the sixty-sixth honorary division over? Let them douse all these militants! One of the councillors stood up and proposed, very excited, shouting for war.

"Muhara, have you had your brain squeezed through the door? Didn't you see that the video shows that those militants are at least thousands of people, and they easily wiped out a regiment, what can you do with a division? ā€

"Medern, your brain was just squeezed through the door, otherwise what else would you do? Do you want to watch these people take all of Palawan? ā€

"I think we should move the 7th Division stationed in Lucena with us, right? With two divisions and troops stationed on Palawan, about three divisions should be able to wipe out these militants, right? ā€

"I'm for it!" One member of parliament endorsed the proposal.

"I'm for it too!"

"I'm for it too!"

As soon as the proposal came out, some parliamentarians chose to approve it, after all, they had just watched the video, and the fighting power of the rebels was very strong, and they were afraid that the strength of one division would not be able to eat them, but two divisions plus some remaining troops on Palawan Island should be enough, and there should be no difficulty in recovering Puerto Princesa.

Don't look at Palawan as the money bag of the Philippines, the real tax revenue is only the city of Puerto Princesa, which contributes a lot of revenue to the Philippine government every year by tourism, and if the rest of the places are lost, they will be lost, this is the idea of most parliamentarians.

As soon as the issue was raised, the Philippine government began to vote quickly, with more than two-thirds of the people raising their hands in favor of the proposal.

However, when the vote was raised, some people put forward another idea, thinking that since Palawan wanted autonomy, let them be self-governing, but this argument was not supported by too many people, and finally the Philippine Upper Assembly passed the plan to send troops to Palawan.

So the 66th Honorary Division, which had just packed up and was slowly preparing to leave for Palawan, received a new order, first from Manila to Lucena, and then to Palawan with the 7th Division, where it was stationed, and, of course, some of the Navy's transports and gunboats to set them off with them, responsible for providing them with some artillery support for their landing.

Of course, these gunboats are the so-called warships in the eyes of the Filipinos, although foreign netizens say that Philippine warships are gunboats, but the Philippines still thinks that these ships are warships, invincible warships, with the cover of warships, landing should be very easy.

China, in the conference room of Zhongnanhai.

"Ladies and gentlemen, in the video I just watched, our intelligence officers have confirmed that there was indeed a battle in Puerto Puerto Palawan, Philippines, and the final result is exactly the same as in the video! Tell us what you think! Number One looked at the people sitting under him, and slowly introduced the current situation, and the people sitting below were all in military uniforms.

"One, are these people our support?"

Number One shook his head: "Not really! ā€

"And what about us today?" This is also a problem that these generals are suspicious of, obviously they have little to do with the outbreak of civil strife in the Philippines, and China and the Philippines are not friendly countries.

"Palawan! South China Sea! ā€

As soon as the five words of No. 1 came out, everyone's eyes lit up immediately, judging from the map, Palawan Island is very close to the South China Sea, and it can almost be said that it is close to each other, and outside the territorial waters of Palawan, it will reach China's territorial waters, and there is not even a nautical mile of the high seas area!

The people around immediately nodded excitedly and began to discuss some countermeasures, obviously this is an opportunity, an opportunity to settle the South China Sea dispute once and for all.

Finally, No. 1 slowly spoke: "Let the intelligence officers contact them, and if they can agree to some conditions for us, we can give them some necessary support!" ā€

"No problem!"

Unlike the cheers on the Chinese side, the US president's side is a little depressed, and it doesn't matter to the Americans that there is a sudden civil strife in the Philippines, after all, Mindanao has been in turmoil for so long, and every year there are some conflicts in the Philippines, and they are used to it.

But this time is obviously different, the location of Mindanao is not important to the Americans at all, or it is not important at all, he is making trouble with the Americans and will not care, the Philippines has been asking the American father since Mindanao began to make a fuss, wanting the Americans to send troops to get rid of these people for them, but the Americans have always ignored this, and changed the topic as soon as the Mindanao issue was mentioned, and finally there was the current situation in Mindanao.

But this time it is not Mindanao that is making trouble, but Palawan, which is different, Palawan is close to the South China Sea, and the Philippines is the first island chain of the Yankees blockading China, Palawan can be said to be a very important link, once there is a problem in Palawan, the Middle Ages can cross the Sulawesi Sea from the location of the Spratly Islands, through the Maluku Strait, into the Pacific Ocean, or from the Guawa Sea through the Sunda Strait, directly into the Indian Ocean.

Although these two seem to be a bit of a reluctance, they can avoid the first and second island chains that the Americans have worked so hard to manage for decades, making the blockade of China that the United States hopes for a joke.

And what worries Americans the most is that these Palawan Free Army uniforms, which look almost exactly the same as PLA uniforms, in the first moment of seeing the video, the US president thought that China's PLA had attacked the Philippines, but when he saw a large number of whites in the green uniforms, he slowly relaxed, because he knew that there were no foreign members in the PLA.
