"The Spaniards have been defeated by us and want us to withdraw from the Philippines unless you can defeat us!" Wu Haibin, commander of the 5th Brigade of the Chinese Marine Corps, said with a gloomy face. The ** squadron only entered Manila today, and these indigenous Filipinos jumped out and wanted to get something for nothing, how could this be possible.

"Your Excellency, is this what your country means? Filipinos will not give up in order to fight for the nation. Even in the face of a more powerful China, we will continue to resist! Mario said in a deep voice.

Li Haitao nodded, and then said: "This is what my country means." Now that the squadron has landed in the Philippines, we will not withdraw lightly. If you want to drive us away, defeat us on the battlefield! ”

"You'll regret it. We in the Philippines have more than 100,000 warriors and millions of citizens ready to join the war, and the final victory must be ours! The leader of Katipnan, named Kanu, yelled angrily. Katipunam, as a very influential organization in the Philippines, has become somewhat extreme. This organization, in order to defeat the Spaniards, used any means.

"Sending off!" Li Haitao said directly. In the face of the threat of these indigenous Filipinos, he simply did not take it to heart. Anyway, the empire is already planning to wipe out the resistance of these Filipinos, and it is best that they are willing to jump out on their own.

Mario and Canu left the city hall after giving Li Haitao and Wu Haibin a resentful look.

"Lao Wu, let your people pay attention to defense, and don't be overwhelmed by these Filipino natives. I'll say hello to the fleet, and I'll provide you with fire support in case of crisis!" Li Haitao said.

"Yes, Chief of Staff, I'll go and set up the defense at once!" Wu Haibin said.

"Also, don't forget about the safety of the city. If any of these Filipinos make a move, don't let any of them go! Li Haitao gritted his teeth and said.

"Yes!" After Wu Haibin saluted, he left quickly.

Li Haitao did not dare to slack off, and immediately reported the situation to China. China has not paid much attention to the Philippines, and has not paid enough attention to these Philippine resistance forces, which makes them underestimate the strength of these resistances. However, it is not too late to know that with elite Marines guarding the city, it can be used as a base for China. When the follow-up troops arrive, they can clear these Philippine resistance forces.

After receiving an urgent telegram from Li Haitao in Beijing, Wang Yuze convened an emergency meeting, which was attended by Prime Minister Yang Hua, Foreign Minister Wu Tingfang, Chief of General Staff Xiong Wu, War Minister Cai Yun, Navy Minister Zhang Cheng, Defense Minister Jiang Xingguo, and Military Intelligence Bureau Director Wei Zhiyong.

"Your Majesty, this time it was a mistake of the Military Intelligence Agency, we don't know enough about the resistance forces in the Philippines, which makes this time the plan to colonize the Philippines encounter greater difficulties, please surrender!" At the beginning of the meeting, Wei Zhiyong asked for guilt.

"I'll talk about it later, I know that the main target of the MIA is on Japan and European and American countries, and not enough attention is paid to other Asian countries. This is a lesson for us. In the future, the Military Intelligence Agency must establish a more complete intelligence network! Wang Yuze said.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Wei Zhiyong hurriedly said.

"Alright, let's introduce you to these resistance groups in the Philippines!" Wang Yuze said.

"Yes, Your Majesty. There are five main resistance groups in the Philippines, namely the First Republic of the Philippines, the Katipunam Organization, the Pura Khan Followers, the Sulu Sultanate and the Moro people. Among them, the Sulu Sultanate and the Moro people live in Mindanao and the southern part of the southern Philippines, and do not pose a threat to our troops landing in Manila for the time being. But the First Republic of the Philippines, the Katipunam organization, and the Pulahan followers will pose a threat to us. Is the First Republic of the Philippines Emilio? The country founded by Aquino, who was the president of the First Philippine Republic, was a Chinese-Spanish mestizo. Filipino military strategist, political strategist, and leader of the ** movement. Born in Luzon in '69. His father was the mayor at the time (died 7). Participated in Andrés in '95? Bonifacio's 'Catipunan Secret Society' won a number of victories in the Philippines in '96 when fighting against Spain. He issued a manifesto in '96 and called on the Filipino people to carry out armed expulsion of the Spanish government, and last year, the Philippines declared its secession from Spain, and he was elected president. Wei Zhiyong introduced.

"Since this man named Aquino is of mixed Chinese and Spanish descent, is it possible that he will be loyal to us?" Wang Yuze asked. It is also a very good choice if you can support a surrogate in the Philippines.

"Your Majesty, this can't be. Aquino is a nationalist who sees himself as a Filipino and hopes that the Philippines will be truly the first to be held hostage by other countries. Moreover, he also had contacts with the American side, and it should have been February '97, when the struggle in the Philippines reached a stalemate. In January '97, Aquino negotiated an armistice with the then Spanish governor Fernando Primoderivera. By mid-February, an agreement was reached: if Aquino agreed to go into exile, the governor would pay Aquino "00,000 (Mexican) dollars" as stated in the agreement in three installments. Aquino then found a foothold for himself in Hong Kong. Aquino denounced ** as he left, urging the Filipino combatants to disarm and declaring those who continued hostilities banditry. However, some Filipinos continued their armed struggle against the Spanish colonial government. In between, he met with U.S. Consul Espencerpratt and Rounceville Wildman in Singapore, who persuaded him to become the core of leadership once again. Pratt telegraphed to the U.S. government, and the U.S. government Aquino assured that the U.S. would provide assistance to the Philippines to the best of its ability. Therefore, it is unlikely that he will accept our recruitment! Wei Zhiyong said.

"Forget it. What about other organizations? Wang Yuze asked.

"Katipunan is Andres? A secret society founded by Bonifacio. Katipunan is the transliteration of the Tagalog word "Association", and its full name is "The Most Exalted and Respected Association of Filipino Sons and Daughters", which aims to unite the Filipino people to overthrow Spanish colonial rule through armed struggle and achieve **. The members were mainly unemployed workers, peasants, the urban poor, and low-ranking officials in the colonial government, and later more bourgeois elements joined them. In '96, the underground printing house in Katipunan was destroyed by the colonial authorities. The organization of the association and the plans of the uprising were discovered by the colonial authorities, who acted in advance. On the 24th, the Philippines** broke out. The uprising gradually spread throughout Luzon and Mindanao. Soon, there was a split in the ** camp. The landlord bourgeoisie only demanded national equality and the development of the national economy. The craftsmen, petty bourgeoisie and peasants also demanded socio-economic reforms and the confiscation of monastic lands. The Krabi bourgeois forces, led by Aquino, took advantage of the military prestige they had gained after defeating the Spanish colonial army at Eames in early September in an attempt to kick out the association and seize the leadership of **. Aquino issued a proclamation at the end of October, raising bourgeois slogans of freedom, equality, and fraternity, and predicting the establishment of provisional governments in the liberated areas, without mentioning the leadership of the association. On 22/97, the government of Tehros was elected, and Katipunam was completely set aside and Aquino was elected president. The current Katipunan has disintegrated, but this organization still has great influence in the Philippines! Wei Zhiyong said.

Wang Yuze nodded and didn't say anything, just motioned for him to continue the introduction.

"As for the Pulahan followers, it was completely an organization that resisted the Spanish colonizers, and they constantly attacked the Spaniards in an attempt to make the Philippines **. And now, instead of Spain, we are the colonizers of the Philippines. Then, it's up to us to target them next. Wei Zhiyong said.

"Guys, what do you think in the face of so many Filipino resistance groups?" Wang Yuze asked.

"Your Majesty, the Empire's plan is to turn the Philippines into our colony once and for all. Although the Filipinos have a lot of resistance and a lot of people, they are equipped with garbage, and if we are determined to clean them up, we may not be able to clean them up! Xiong Wu put forward his opinion on behalf of the military.

Wang Yuze nodded and turned to Yang Hua and Wu Tingfang.

"Your Majesty, since the plan for the Philippines as a colony has been established, this cannot be changed. I agree with the military's efforts to wipe out these resistance forces in the Philippines! Yang Hua also said.

"I agree, but it's better to be secretive when acting in the military. After all, there are many forces of resistance in the Philippines, and if you want to clean them up, I am afraid that you will need to kill a lot of people. If it gets out, it will have a bad impact on the empire internationally! Wu Tingfang said.

"Since everyone's opinions are unanimous, then, give Li Haitao an order! He was asked to defend the city of Manila. In addition, in addition to the 5th, 1st, and 9th Brigades of the Marine Corps, the 24th and 31st Divisions were transferred from the South China Military Region to the Philippines, and Major General Zhou Shu, deputy commander of the South China Military Region, was appointed Governor General of the Philippines to wipe out the Philippine resistance forces. I have only one request, that within two years, no matter what means they use, the stability of the Philippines must be guaranteed. A troubled Philippines is not in the interests of the empire. Even if they kill rivers of blood in the Philippines, they will not hesitate to do so! Wang Yuze ordered. The Philippine resistance must not be tolerated, and only the most brutal means of repression can guarantee the rule of the empire in the Philippines.
