Lin Yuan finished reading the situation in the Philippines, and half an hour passed, but Lin Yuan hadn't seen Shen Wanqing come back, Lin Yuan was wondering, when the door opened, Shen Wanqing walked in with a stack of newspapers, Lin Yuan smiled: "Ask if it takes so long to ask the news?" ”

Shen Wanqing said: "Of course, it doesn't take time to ask for news, but I noticed a detail when I asked for news, so I went to find a newspaper." ”

Lin Yuan asked, "What details have you noticed, and why do you still have something to do with the newspaper?" ”

Shen Wanqing said: "The station chiefs of the Manila and Davao intelligence stations have told me that the current situation in Manila and Davao is very stable, as in the past, there have been no anti-Chinese incidents, and they have already sent people to the situation in Palanan, and it is expected that the news will be transmitted back in a day." However, the head of the Manila Intelligence Station told me: Recently, there have been newspapers reporting the news of illegal Chinese traders, so I found the newspaper and wanted to take a look. ”

Lin Yuan asked, "What's wrong with this detail?" Is there something wrong? ”

Shen Wanqing said: "Riots rarely happen naturally, we have conducted a survey of all kinds of riots and riots in the world, and found that more than 99 percent of them are controlled by foreign hostile forces, and their control methods are extremely clever, and they usually have a long-term layout. ”

"They will first magnify the dark side of society and incite one group to hate another, for example: if you want to incite Filipinos to attack the Chinese, then you have to hype it up in the media: how the Chinese are treacherous, how the Chinese businessmen deceive, deceive the Filipinos, and extract the money of the Filipinos, and then trumpet how those Chinese spend money after squeezing the money, provoking their hatred of the rich."

"When social dissatisfaction accumulates to a certain extent, they will create some fuses, such as Chinese profiteers beating up kind Filipino old women, etc., this kind of thing is a trivial thing in normal times, people will only look at it after dinner, like sparks falling on the concrete floor, will not cause a cluster of flames, but when social dissatisfaction is high, these sparks are like falling into a powder keg, 'boom', can blow up the whole society to the sky."

"After the riots, Filipinos, carried away by hatred and wealth, will rush into a Chinese shop, family, whether they are profiteers or not, bad people or not, kill, rob, rape, do whatever they want!" Shen Wanqing flipped through the newspaper as she spoke, took out a few sheets, put them in front of Lin Yuan, and said with a smile: "You see, a few things written on it are that a Chinese profiteer mixed talcum powder with flour; A wealthy Chinese man had a sex party, and ten girls were ...... at night It's the same method as I said, right? ”

Lin Yuan looked at the newspapers, recalled Shen Wanqing's words, and said, "Then according to what you said, the riot in Palanan is just a prelude, and the real climax is behind?" ”

Shen Wanqing nodded solemnly, Lin Yuan took a deep breath, and said: "It seems that we have to make preparations for the evacuation of overseas Chinese, Sanya is 1,200 kilometers away from Manila, and Keelung is 800 kilometers away from the northernmost tip of Luzon Island, these two places should be dispatched together, I just saw on the data: There are currently more than 50,000 Chinese in the Philippines, distributed in various parts of the Philippines, and it is not easy to evacuate them." ”

Shen Wanqing said: "That's right, withdrawal is unlikely, if we want to save the Chinese, we can only enter the Philippines, drive out the Spanish rulers, and replace them." ”

Lin Yuan nodded and said: "That's right, although the nationwide anti-Chinese riots have not happened now, we must also prepare early, in this way, you go back first, let the comrades of the intelligence station always pay attention to the progress of the situation, I will mobilize the navy on the one hand, and contact the ruler of the Philippines on the other." ”

Shen Wanqing agreed, turned around and walked out, Lin Yuan called the French ambassador to China and asked him to help contact the ruler of the Philippines - the Governor General of the Philippines, the Spaniard Anthony? Sandras.

With the French ambassador as the intermediary, Lin Yuan sent a telegram to Sandras: "Today, there has been a large-scale riot in Paranam, and many Chinese have been killed in the riot, and I hope that the Spanish government can inform the number of Chinese killed, and we urge the Spanish government to quell the riot as much as possible and allow Chinese ships to evacuate the Chinese." ”

Sanderas quickly called back: "Mr. Lin Yuan, there was no large-scale riot in Palanan, and your message is wrong. In addition, all the Chinese in the Philippines are Filipino nationals and are also subjects of the Spanish Empire, and have no Chinese nationality, and the Chinese government has no right to take them out of Spain. ”

When Lin Yuan saw that the Philippine Governor flatly denied the riots and claimed that the Chinese government had no right to withdraw the Chinese, he knew that the Spaniards did not want to cooperate with him at all, and that future disputes could only be resolved by means of war.

After the Sino-Japanese War, the 33rd Amphibious Warfare Division was officially reorganized into the Amphibious Combat Corps, which became a branch of the army alongside the Army, Navy, and Air Force, and the 33rd Amphibious Warfare Division was also reorganized into the Amphibious First Division.

In terms of personnel appointments, Lin Yuan personally served as commander-in-chief of the amphibious combat army, while Zhang Chuang served as deputy commander-in-chief of the amphibious combat army, responsible for daily affairs.

After Lin Yuan mobilized the navy and amphibious combat forces, he ordered the 26th Division stationed in Guangzhou and the 27th Division stationed in Haikou to enter the second-level war readiness state, reinforce the amphibious combat army, and at the same time ordered the 2nd Air Division to fly to the Sanya military airfield.

The next day, at 6 p.m. on October 21, the agents sent to Palanan by the Manila station of the General Intelligence Directorate reported back the news: there was indeed a riot in Paranam, more than 100 Chinese shops in the city were ransacked, more than 400 Chinese people died on the streets, and more than 70 Chinese women were imprisoned by the mob and subjected to inhumane gang rape.

During the whole riot, the Philippine military police and the Spanish garrison not only ignored the riots, but also sent personnel to participate in the robbery, and the agents also transmitted back the photos, the mountains of corpses, the naked girl hanging upside down on the height, and the child crying with the body of the mother holding the photo.

When Lin Yuan got these photos, he asked the attendant to hand them to Tang Fan, and said, "Tell Director Tang, organize people to print newspapers tonight, and these photos must be published in the newspaper tomorrow." ”

The attendant said, "Lin Shuai, are all these photos used?" Isn't the content on the photo too cruel? ”

Lin Yuan said: "Blur the key parts and use them all. ”
