Chapter 896: One Push, Two Hundred and Sixty-Five!
In just four days, it took only four days to launch a surprise attack from the sea, annihilate the Spanish fleet, and take the entire Dingalan Bay, and now the Sixth Army under the leadership of Chen Hai has all gathered in Dingalan City, and the next target is undoubtedly Manila, the largest city in the Philippines!
The news disappeared, and the entire Nanyang had learned of the changes in the Philippines, and the entire Nanyang was in a huge panic!
One fleet, plus the strength of two complete divisions, although such a force can be said to be invincible, at least among the various forces, it is already in the top three or at least the top four, and at least it can form a huge threat to all key positions in the entire South Seas, and even a fatal threat!
Manila, the current Philippine Governor Celeste has been completely dumbfounded, the strength of the two brigades, the Dinallan Battery, the Gulf of Oraire, and even the main force of the entire Philippine fleet have all been lost, and such a loss will make the entire Kingdom of Spain feel broken!
"Send a telegram for urgent help to the mainland, send a telegram to urgently ask for help from the Spanish army in the direction of Tianjin! We want all the allies who can give us support to ask for help! ”
Celeste sent telegrams one after another, but at this time, which force dared to act rashly without receiving a clear order from above? This is not an easy opponent! The strength of the enemy is truly jaw-dropping!
In Kuala Lumpur, Yangon, Hanoi, Jakarta, and all the big cities in Nanyang, the European colonizers are now in a huge panic!
Yes, it's just panic! Where did this group of enemies come from? Why did Spain target the Philippines? Where do they come from? Do they have any other goals? Now it's all unknown, it's all unknown, who doesn't worry that this group of people will turn their guns and suddenly attack their colonial forces?
However, after all, there are still well-informed among them, and the most well-informed are of course the British. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Kuala Lumpur is the highest control center of the British Empire in the entire South Seas, and the Governor General of Malaysia was appointed by the Queen of England as the supreme spokesman for the affairs of the South Seas and even the whole of East Asia.
The current Governor-General, Sylvestre, held a telegram from the Admiralty of the British Empire in his hand, his brow furrowed, and the Chinese general Chen Hai, who played a major role in the American Civil War, had gathered tens of thousands of volunteers in the United States to prepare for the return of the country.
"It seems that the army attacking the Philippines is definitely the armed forces of the Chinese in the United States, but they can stop the infantry is okay, with Chen Hai and Guo Ye's connections in the United States, there is no big problem, but what about the navy? They have a powerful fleet, and they have never heard of a Chinese fleet, is it the American fleet? No way! If the Americans openly sent their own fleet to the war, it would be an open break with the four countries and on the side of China, and Lincoln would be able to withstand such huge political, diplomatic, and even military pressure? Don't talk about the four countries, even Britain and France are united, and the United States is definitely not an opponent! ”
Sylvester was suspicious, now Britain, France, Spain and other countries have already opened the pot, at the beginning, they didn't care too much about Chen Hai's actions in the United States, after all, it was just recruiting volunteers, and it was just some Chinese Chinese workers who were conscripted into the army and hastily put together, it was definitely a group of rabble, and Chinese had no navy, no ocean-going fleet, and it was not easy to transport this group of people back.
However, they ignored that the Chinese did not have a naval fleet, but that this naval fleet had not been named since it was formed, and it was compiled in the sequence of the American Navy, all of which were leased by the US military.
Moreover, when the Shandong Navy Division returned, all the flags and military flags used along the way were the US flags, and the ones who came forward were all US troops, and they were even more strictly concealed, and the intelligence agencies of various countries always thought that it was the US military, especially on the troop carriers, all of them were US soldiers, either black or white, where are there any yellow people? I didn't expect that in the end, it was really the Chinese army!
Not only were the British annoyed, but also the French and the Spaniards annoyed, did the Americans really want to die?
Diplomatic notes were sent to the United States by the three countries, and the envoys of the three countries in the United States went straight to the White House, asking Lincoln to give a reasonable explanation, and if there was no satisfactory answer, the three countries would not rule out the possibility of using force against the United States!
However, the diplomatic pressure of the three countries was quickly dissipated by Lincoln's downplay - "First, the current fleet in the Philippines is not the American fleet, but the real Chinese fleet, a few years ago, the Chinese general Guo Ye reached an agreement with the US government to supervise the construction of a medium-sized naval fleet for the Qing court, this matter is known to all countries, the fleet has long been completed, but one in the United States, leased by the federal government of the United States of America at a large price, for the Civil War, But the power of ownership and moderation is owned by the Chinese, and the supreme commander of this fleet is General Guo Ye, and now that the lease period has expired, the people will return to China, and the federal government has no right to interfere with them; ”
"Second, the two army divisions attacking the Philippines today are not US federal troops, but retired soldiers of the US Federation, who were hired by the Chinese to form a mercenary corps and accept the command of the employer, as for what tasks to accept, it has nothing to do with the US federal government, the United States is a country that emphasizes democracy and freedom, and has no right to interfere in private affairs;"
"Third, as for the fact that this fleet sailed and hoisted the American flag and military flag along the way, the federal government of the United States knows nothing about it, and will inquire about the Qing court or General Guo Ye, and protest, ask the Chinese for explanation, and make compensation, but the impact of these things on the entire Asian affairs has nothing to do with the federal government, and we have always maintained a neutral attitude;"
Britain, France, and Spain were so angry that they sent the three countries away with just a few words? No way!
But what if you don't have a way? If you can't catch the handle of the U.S. federal government, what if you know that the U.S. secretly supports it? People have 10,000 excuses to deny, as if Britain and France caused trouble for the federal government in the American Civil War, these are all carried out in a private capacity, do not represent the attitude of the state and the government, and no one has a temper!
