The Spaniards in the Philippines know that they have not carried out massacres in the Philippines once or twice over the years. In the land of the Philippines, they have slaughtered the Chinese, they have also slaughtered the natives, and there is more than one round of slaughter, if you let those natives outside rush in, what will be the result, you don't even need to use your brain, you just need to use ganglia to think about it. Previously, the war between them and the Americans was a war between any civilized person of civilization, but now it ...... When there was no possibility of victory in the war, ensuring the safety of their lives and property became the choice of the Spaniards who were still in the Philippines.

A few days later, Manila surrendered to the U.S. military. The American troops entered Manila along the way, but the Spaniards did not surrender their weapons. The Americans allowed them to defend themselves with light weapons, and promised that they would not allow any indigenous troops to enter. It was not until the Spanish and American governments reached a compromise and made peace that they would send ships to take them back. Subsequently, other important cities in the Philippines also opened their doors to the American army.

Seeing that American friendly forces had entered Manila, the Filipinos naturally wanted to enter the city as well. After all, the flower world in the city has a huge attraction for them. Who wouldn't want to rush into the city and burn and plunder merrily? But not far from the city, they were blocked by heavily armed American troops. Although those Filipinos are trying hard to make it clear that we are allies, we are friends, and we should be allowed to pass. But those Americans are just talking about NONO, and they just don't let them go. Some Filipinos resorted to forcible means, and as a result, the Americans were very friends, and although they were offended, they were very lenient to give the savage Filipinos a chance to be a new man with MacDonald's water-cooled heavy machine guns and 3.4-inch mortars. In a skirmish near Manila, the U.S. Army was very neat and easy to get at least 100 Filipinos back into the new way.

This situation, of course, made the Filipinos very unhappy. But at this time it is clearly not wise to completely tear the face with the Americans. So the leader of the Filipinos, Aguinaldo, who returned on a U.S. warship, represented that the Filipinos had found the Americans.

……

"Mr. Aguinaldo, did you come to me the whole time?" General Arthur MacArthur, now the U.S. commander in charge of Manila's defenses, asked with a somewhat impatient look.

"General MacArthur, I'm here for the unfortunate incident that just happened outside of Manila." Mr. Aguinaldo said, "I wonder why your army won't let us into Manila." In accordance with the promise I have received from your country, your country will support us in the establishment of an independent republic in the Philippines, and Manila will be the capital of the Republic of the Philippines in this plan, but now ......"

"Now, however, something unexpected has happened. And this unexpected situation is entirely caused by you! Moreover, it has brought a great deal of damage to the reputation of our United States of America. So in order to eliminate the danger, I had to take such measures! General Arthur MacArthur unceremoniously interrupted Aquinado.

"General MacArthur, I don't understand what you're talking ......about," Aquinado said in astonishment, apparently unaware of the massacres that are now being so much in the Western newspapers. This is also normal, because during this time, he has been in the Philippine rebel army, and he has never read foreign newspapers at all, and even if he wants to read them, he cannot find them under the current conditions.

"You don't know?" General Arthur MacArthur looked at him suspiciously, "You don't know about the good things your people have done?" I wonder if it's the right fit for us to work with you. Tru, go get a newspaper and let this friend of ours take a good look! ”

Tru, General Arthur MacArthur's aide-de-camp, immediately retrieved a newspaper and handed it to Aguinaldo.

Aquinado took the newspaper and hurriedly looked at it. He saw a photograph of a Filipino rebel soldier holding the head of a little girl on the front page of the newspaper.

"This ...... It's ......," Aguinaldo vaguely felt that something was wrong.

"Because of the barbaric atrocities of your people, now the whole world is accusing us!" General Arthur MacArthur yelled at Aguinaldo, "See what your guys have done?" They would slaughter unarmed women and children! Now even the people in the United States are beginning to wonder whether we should support you or not, and whether you have the basic qualifications to build a civilized country! And at this time, you actually came and asked me why I didn't let your people into Manila? Oh my God! If we let your barbarians, those thugs, enter Manila, I can't imagine what will happen! Maybe the whole city will be razed to the ground by your people, and everyone in the city will be slaughtered! Mr. Aguinaldo, I sue you now! At least for the time being, I will never allow any Philippine military force to come near Manila! You will never be allowed to bring the United States of America to shame the burden of your atrocities because of your greed and brutality! Never allowed! ”

General Arthur MacArthur shook his fist and roared, forcing Aguinaldo to take a step back.

"Hear me, General MacArthur, this is an isolated incident, and we are not ...... In fact, in some of the cities we've entered, we're in good order and discipline......" Aguinaldo argued as much as he could.

"Hell yes! After something like this happened, you told me that your discipline was good! Damn, did you treat me as a fool? Mr. Aguinaldo, now I officially inform you that within a five-kilometer radius of Manila, no armed forces other than the American army are allowed. Whichever armed force enters within five kilometers of the city of Manila, it will be considered an attack on the city of Manila and our American forces. And in such a situation, we have to take up arms to defend ourselves, you understand? ”

"It's ......" Aguinaldo could not have imagined such a sudden change in American attitudes. So he looked forward to Ai Ai's expression:

"When, then, General MacArthur, will our troops enter Manila? You know that according to the agreement between your country and us, Manila should be handed over to us to become the capital of the Republic of the Philippines ......"

"It's a political matter, and I can't make any reply." General MacArthur said, "I suppose, however, that these things may not be discussed until we have made peace with the Spanish government and sent the Spaniards away, and your troops have behaved a little more like civilized people." Well, if you don't have anything more to do, Mr. Aguinaldo, please go back first, and I'll set up the city defenses of Manila. ”

Seeing that the Americans directly issued an eviction order, Aguinaldo had no choice but to take his leave.

Aquino, who came out of the American and followed Aguinaldo, asked him, "Mr. Aguinaldo, how long do you think it will take for the Americans to allow us to enter Manila?" ”

"Who knows." Aguinaldo had a very bad premonition in his heart, he was very worried that his path to becoming the founding president would be very difficult, "Those damn fools actually did such a thing, and they were filmed by others!" However, we can also take this opportunity to do a consolidation of our Philippine military. ”

The rebel armies in the Philippines come from many tribes, and their organization is often based on tribes. This makes Aguinaldo's control of the rebels not very good. Aquinas thought that by taking this opportunity to integrate the army, he would not only be able to consolidate his position, but also improve his bargaining power with the Americans in a large way.

……

After taking the Philippines and Cuba, the Spaniards also began to contact the French government and the U.S. government in an attempt to restore peace. Because it is clear that the British boss has no strength to meddle with things for the time being, and the Boers strengthened by the MacDonald consortium are even more powerful than in the original history, they took the initiative to attack after declaring war on the British, launched two consecutive campaigns in South Africa, almost completely annihilated the British mobile forces in South Africa, and took several cities in one go, and at present only Cape Town is still under the control of the British, relying on the help of naval firepower, withstanding the attack of the Boers. Now the British are busy mobilizing land and sea forces from within to suppress the Boers, where is there left to support the Spaniards. In addition, the Americans, through the French, told the Spaniards that if the Spaniards were willing to admit the status quo (meaning the status quo, of course, which the Americans had changed), the Americans would also be willing to compensate the Spaniards. I can't do the United States myself, and the boss can't help, so in this case, what can I do except admit the facts? Anyway, those places have already fallen into the stomachs of the Americans, and can you expect the Americans to vomit out? Time drags on, even if the British boss frees up his hands, the Americans have already gained a firm foothold, and then why would the British boss pay a huge price to snatch back what places for Spain? The Spaniards could never afford to hire a British boss. Therefore, it is better to take advantage of the present time to pack Cuba and the Philippines, as well as some islands in the Pacific Ocean that have also been captured by the Americans, and see if they can sell them for some money.
