Section 485 Second ultimatum

Manila's defense is very complete, but the American soldiers are not elite enough, and the colonial army, the blessed foreign uncle, can have a fart combat effectiveness. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

So when the Marines, with the help of local Chinese underground organizations, quietly landed in Cavite, the U.S. forces in Manila surrendered despite the U.S. government's strict orders to stay the course.

The Chinese Navy did not embarrass the US military, although the Marines paid more than 30 sacrifices in this operation, but did not retaliate, sent the US troops to prisoner of war camps, and provided them with sufficient supplies in accordance with the requirements of the Geneva Convention.

In fact, the United States has made preparations to sacrifice the Philippines ****** internal discussions, but it must leave with dignity and reach an agreement with the Chinese to allow the Philippines to stand up, announcing that the Filipinos have the ability to manage themselves, and then the US military can withdraw from here in a big way and hand it over to Chinese, as for whether Chinese continue to colonize here, the Americans can't care.

Anyway, throwing away the Philippines is not a distressing thing for the Americans, the Philippines' share of the American economic map is too small, like the comparison between the pie and the sesame seeds, and even in order to engage in cultural aggression in the Philippines, the annual investment in Philippine education funds is more than the tax received from the Philippines, that is to say, the United States has not been able to squeeze the Philippines, but is inverting the management fee, which is very different from the British rule in India.

Throwing away the Philippines is also throwing away a burden.

However, this burden must be thrown away with dignity, and the issue of dignity is the most difficult to handle. In fact, it is precisely because of the issue of dignity that the biggest factor between China and the United States has come to the present, the first bill to restrict immigration in the United States is the Chinese exclusion bill against China, because only the Chinese have no threat to them, and bullying the Chinese is in vain, and other countries are insulted by this, that will use warships to speak, at least economic retaliation.

But who would have thought that China, the sick man of East Asia, would turn over and suddenly become stronger, and it was suffocating, more powerful than the aggressive Japanese Empire in the past. So when Gu Weijun negotiated with the Americans, the United States was actually ready to revise the Chinese Exclusion Act. It was replaced by a gentleman's agreement similar to Japan, but the Chinese insisted on keeping up with European countries. The Americans were ready to agree, after all, China has become a powerful country, and they plan to distribute the proportion of immigrants from countries like Italy to China, anyway, the Chinese have almost disappeared in the United States, and there are few people a year in proportion. But the Chinese disagreed, and they demanded an apology from the Americans.

In fact, it has not been difficult to amend the bill, but the difficult thing is the apology, in the original history, the United States repealed the Chinese Exclusion Act during World War II, but it was known that it was 60 years later to publicly apologize, because of this dignity issue.

As a result, this matter was stuck, causing the Chinese to directly introduce the Exclusion Act, expelling Americans in China and severing all economic ties with the United States.

Many times, the political elite of the United States feels that the Chinese do not seem to be really sincere about the repeal of the Chinese Exclusion Act, and if China is sincere, then it should deal with the issue of apologies in a low-key manner, and both governments are dealing with the issue in a low-key manner without provoking the other country's citizens.

However, the Chinese government has always been high-profile and has always insisted on apologizing, which has won the support of Chinese nationalists, but the problem has not been solved.

The Americans were suspicious, but they could not find the reason why the Chinese did this, and in the end they could only helplessly blame the political inexperience of the Chinese rulers, who forced themselves into a dead end, after all, the Chinese rulers, from Yang Chao to Mi Qing and Pan Xun, were all young people.

This time, the veteran politicians of the United States have encountered the problem that China has given them again, that is, China did not negotiate but directly captured Manila, and the US military did not hold it, so that the Americans lost the qualification to negotiate, which is really difficult to do, at this time if the Americans propose to negotiate, it is to sue for peace, and any government that signs a treaty without victory will have the same fate, that is, it will fall.

President Coolidge, who personally signed the 24-year immigration bill, did not want to fall, so he did not dare to negotiate, so he could only bite the bullet and made a strong protest and condemnation of China's attack on Manila, and at the same time expressed an action second only to a declaration of war, President Coolidge announced that the US Atlantic Fleet would enter the Pacific region through the Panama Canal, and the destination was Manila in the Philippines, to free the people of Manila from Chinese occupation.

The Americans also thought that the Americans would have a kind of declaration of war, but he did not expect that the Americans would endure the attack on Manila, of course, the Americans also have their own statement, their explanation to the American people is that the Chinese did not declare war, the purpose of the Chinese is to investigate, and the purpose of their dispatch of warships is to guard against the Chinese's attempt to colonize the Philippines in the name of investigation.

The fact that the Americans did not declare war did create a little trouble for Pan Xun, because he had already made preparations for a big war, but the Americans did not take the lead, and after an emergency meeting with the navy, Pan Xun immediately expressed his regret over the decision of the US government, saying that the Chinese navy entered Manila only to investigate the killing of Chinese businessmen, and did not have any intention of the territory of the Philippines, and at the same time questioned the purpose of the US navy's transfer, and once again made an ultimatum to the United States, demanding that they withdraw their move to increase troops in the Pacific. Otherwise, the Chinese government will take hostile actions in the Pacific and sink all American ships without warning.

Powerless, very powerless, in the just-concluded world war, the United States declared war on Germany on the grounds that the Germans had sunk American cargo ships without warning, and this time the Chinese also made such a statement, and the whole world is looking at the Americans to see if the United States will declare war on China first.

As a result, the Americans still instigated some, but although they did not declare war, they rejected the ultimatum of the Chinese.

The Americans still did not declare war this time, but it was enough, and Pan Xun immediately secretly ordered the Beiyang Fleet of the Chinese Navy to attack Hawaii.

More than a year ago, in order to threaten the Netherlands, China also dispatched the entire Nanyang Fleet, this time to threaten the United States, of course, to show greater momentum, the Beiyang Fleet actually set off secretly a long time ago, but in the Lushun base to cover up, deceived the ears and eyes of the Americans, any news to the outside world revealed that the Beiyang Fleet has always been in Lushun.
