There are a lot of emotional voices in the Democratic Alliance army, of course, most of them are charity and mercy, but no one will be merciful, because Wang Feng had made it very clear before the war that there is no need to show mercy to the Spaniards.

In the Spanish-American War, the Spanish fleet suffered 170 rounds of bullets and suffered 380 casualties, while the American fleet received only 15 rounds of bullets and wounded 7 people.

Now go back to 40 years ago, in the naval battle of Manila Bay, 16 warships of the Democratic Alliance Army, with a total of more than 30 shots, and 15 Spanish troops, only the battleship Vittoria and the cruiser Girona remained, and the rest were all sunk.

With a displacement of 7,250 tons, the Vittoria should be the largest warship in the world at that time, but he had a huge size, the power system and hull design could not keep up, the speed was wildly slow, and it was difficult to turn around, and it was difficult to hit the warship of the Democratic Alliance, but it was precisely because of his large displacement that dozens of bullets in his body had not sunk, and he was making stubborn resistance with billowing black smoke.

The Girona was equipped with 30 smoothbore guns, which could hardly pose a real threat to the NLD fleet, but he was equipped with a ramming angle in the bow of the ship, and tried to ram the NLD warships countless times, but he was still limited by the speed and could not keep up, and none of them succeeded.

Seeing the complete rout on land and sea, Cames said helplessly: "Your Excellency the Governor, we have failed, we should not risk the lives of the Spaniards to make a senseless counterattack, I suggest surrendering to the Democratic Alliance." ”

"How is that possible? How can it be? Juan couldn't seem to accept what was happening in front of him, and just muttered to himself over and over again.

"Your Excellency, please face reality!" Cames suddenly grabbed Juan's shoulders. yelled: "The Democratic Alliance has always given preferential treatment to foreigner prisoners, and we Spaniards are also foreigners. The sooner you surrender, the more you can save the lives of the Spanish athletes. Please don't hesitate. ”

"Alas~~" After Juan shook his head in despair, he sighed heavily, surrender means that his honor and status will be lost, but what if he doesn't surrender?

As if he had aged several years in an instant, Juan waved his hand weakly: "Wave the white flag!" ”

A huge white flag was waved over and over again, and Staff Officer Li put down his binoculars and asked, "Commander Zhang, the Spaniards have surrendered." Do you want to accept it? ”

Zhang Tianxi nodded and said: "Of course I accept, although the commander-in-chief asked us not to keep our hands on the Spanish, but our troops are limited, and it is difficult to completely annihilate the defenders of Manila, so it is a good idea to accept surrender and concentrate the Spaniards." ”

"Oh! I understand! Lao Lu suddenly realized: "Concentrate on the beach first, and then slaughter." ”

Zhang Tianxi smiled and shook his head: "The commander-in-chief once told us about European and American countries, although the British are greedy and cunning, but Britain is the birthplace of the industrial revolution. It has a profound impact on the world and has made an indelible contribution to human development.

Although France is far inferior to Britain in scientific achievements, the light of freedom and democracy was first ignited by France, which provided guidance for mankind to get rid of feudal centralized rule. So France is also a country to be respected.

The rest, like the United States, advocates openness and freedom and respects humanity. Another example is Prussia, which gave birth to many great thinkers. All have their own strengths, but the Spaniards have nothing but colonial plunder. does not contribute to any development of humanity, and therefore such a race does not deserve our respect.

It's just that the killing of the Spaniards is to kill, but we try not to kill them, and our massacre of the Spaniards will have an adverse impact on international public opinion.

When the commander-in-chief killed Hong Xiuquan, he handed Hong Xiuquan over to the people for trial, which inspired me, and I discussed with Commander Chen after a while, and gathered the local Chinese to be killed by the Chinese, so as to show that he would not be at odds with the Spaniards, and also played the role of voting for the name, and at the same time could exonerate us.

As for the excuse, this is very easy to find, the Chinese in the Philippines are exploited, discriminated against, bitter and bitter, and the Spaniards are still in the Ming Dynasty, and they have slaughtered tens of thousands of Filipino Chinese twice, so it should be regarded as revenge for their ancestors. ”

"High, sure enough, high!" The fighters gave a thumbs up.

Zhang Tianxi waved his hand at this time: "Stop shooting and accept surrender." ”

The Spanish army stood honestly in place, Juan also stepped forward with his guards, ready to present his swords, and the NLD fighters gradually pressed forward.

Although the surrender of the Spanish Army was accepted, the surrender of the Navy was rejected because his only two remaining warships had no other advantages except large tonnage, and they were heavily shot and seriously wounded, and it was not worth it to repair and refit at great cost to capture them.

Boss Chen ignored the white flags raised from the ship, and the artillery fire became more intense, all the warships fired fierce artillery fire around the Vittoria and Girona, and the soldiers on the ship screamed loudly in despair, as if the end was coming, and they rushed to jump into the sea.

"Boom~~" There was a loud bang, and the Girona sank first, and the huge hull brought up the raging waves, pressing the soldiers who had just jumped into the water to the bottom of the sea.

Immediately afterwards, there was another bang, and the Vittoria seemed to be pushed from behind by an invisible hand, capsized in an instant, and slapped heavily on the sea, breaking the hull into three pieces on the spot, because of its larger size, the waves brought up were more than ten meters high, and the monstrous waves crashed down, and the sea surface rose up with an overwhelming mist.

When everything was calm, there were splinters of wood and scattered corpses floating everywhere.

"No!" Seeing the complete destruction of the fleet, Juan roared in despair: "We have all surrendered, why are they still attacking?" They have no sincerity! ”

"Hey~~" Cames also clenched his fists angrily, and then sighed: "Your Excellency the Governor, we can only observe a moment of silence for the soldiers who died in battle, come, let us all be silent for three minutes." ”

Everyone took off their hats and observed a moment of silence for the Spanish soldiers who had died, and after three minutes, Zhang Tianxi and other senior Marines also came over.

Juan glared angrily and asked loudly, "Which of you is the commander?" We all raised the white flag and gave up resistance, why are you still attacking our warships? ”

Zhang Tianxi took a step forward and said unhurriedly: "May I ask who you are?" Sorry, please speak English, we here, no one understands Spanish. ”

Juan was depressed and wanted to vomit blood, he said so much, people couldn't understand it!

"I am Juan, Governor of the Kingdom of Spain in Manila," forced him to suppress his anger, and Juan had to report his long list of names in English and repeat the same question.

Zhang Tianxi groaned: "I am Zhang Tianxi, commander of the South China Sea Fleet of the Chinese Democratic Alliance Army, for your doubts, I do not rule out the possibility that the officers and men on the ship did not see your side waving the white flag, of course, we will investigate the situation as soon as possible, and now, please order the Spanish troops in Manila to lay down their arms and surrender unconditionally to our Democratic Alliance forces." ”

Zhang Tianxi's so-called investigation is clear from Wang Feng's booklet "Fifty Common Diplomatic Phrases," which was distributed to governments and the military at all levels.

There are many famous names in the investigation, who will investigate, how to investigate, the duration of the investigation, and how to prove the authenticity of the investigation conclusions.

Zhang Tianxi didn't want to provoke Juan too much, after all, he also planned to lure out all the remnants of the Spanish army in Manila through Juan and capture him.

You know, the Spaniards have been operating in Manila for 300 years, and if they rely on buildings to fight in the streets, it will bring a lot of trouble.

Juan was actually not very satisfied with Zhang Tianxi's prevarication, but what people said also made sense, what happened on the sea always had to be asked to have a result, not to mention that Zhang Tianxi's attitude of not being arrogant or humble also gave him a reassurance, making him believe in the good reputation of the Democratic Alliance Army for preferential treatment of foreign prisoners.

"On behalf of the Spanish government, I look forward to your satisfactory reply as soon as possible." Juan nodded expressionlessly, then turned around and called: "Pass my order, all Spanish soldiers in Manila lay down their arms and surrender to the Democratic Alliance forces." ”

Not far away were the soldiers of the Democratic Alliance Army with loaded guns, and their own side had already handed over their weapons, the Spaniards did not dare to move, the two entourages looked at Zhang Tianxi, Zhang Tianxi nodded slightly, and the two entourages immediately stepped on their horses and galloped towards Manila.

With Juan's surrender, the rest was simple, and before the Spanish army in Manila received the news, all that had to be done was to count the results.

The Spanish fleet was completely annihilated, and the crew and sailors must have died, fifteen thousand army troops, more than 8,000 people were killed, and the rest all surrendered, and for the time being, they did not tie up the Spaniards with ropes, but guarded them on the spot.

As for the captured weapons and artillery, they were all flintlock pistols and smoothbore cannons, which were inferior to the British weapons thrown into the sea at Singapore, and they were embarrassed to give them to the local Chinese, and the final fate of these rags must have been thrown into the sea.

Towards evening, nearly 7,000 Spanish troops in Manila went out of the city and surrendered, plus the previous Spaniards, the total number reached more than 14,000.

Why Riverside? Because the number of the NLD army is too small, it is very difficult to detain 14,000 people with more than 8,000 people, which requires the warship to be driven into the river, and in case of an emergency, it can open fire, and it can also play a deterrent role.

The Spaniards obviously understood this trick, but the NLD forces were not tied up, and the NLD forces were not tortured, and it was understandable that the prisoners were taken care of, so no one made trouble, they just waited, waiting for the NLD to offer conditions to the Spanish side.

However, what the Spaniards never expected was that that night, the top brass of the Democratic Alliance summoned the Chinese representatives in Manila. (To be continued......)
