As for the information on the artillery models and defense units in the artillery fortifications on Corregido Island, the Manila station is also not clear, after all, the focus of the General Intelligence Directorate in the previous stage was Japan, Europe and the United States, and the investment in small Southeast Asian countries was not large.

Zhang Chuang then decided to first dispatch the 1st Amphibious Division Air Cavalry Regiment to land on Corregidor Island to eradicate artillery fortifications, and then enter Manila Bay to land.

Zhang Chuang turned his attention to Ramon Bay on the eastern front, Ramon Bay is a harbor with a big mouth and a bigger belly, and the narrowest entrance to the bay is more than 40 kilometers, and it is difficult for the enemy's artillery to hit the troop carriers in high-speed movement, so Zhang Chuang decided: The eastern front will land directly and capture the port city of Real, which has a road leading directly to Manila, and the 1st Amphibious Division will use the road to attack Manila directly after landing.

On September 25, the 1st Amphibious Division, the 26th Division and the 27th Division launched an attack, and the first to do it was the 1st Amphibious Division Air Cavalry Regiment, under the leadership of the regiment commander Zhang Yaoyang, they flew directly to Corregido Island, and soon landed on the island, and then advanced to the artillery fortifications on the island, without encountering any resistance on the way, and all the soldiers in the defensive positions raised their hands and surrendered.

It turned out that the island was relatively desolate, there was no oil and water to fish, and no one in the Spanish army wanted to be stationed here, so they kicked the most unpopular officers to this island, and the soldiers were all Filipino native soldiers, and they did not train on the island every day, and the only thing they did was to look forward to being transferred away from this small island where birds do not.

The regiment commander Zhang Yaoyang did not expect that the defenders on the island would surrender without resistance, because the statement of the governor Sanderas has always been very tough, and most of Lin Yuan's troops thought that the defenders would resist to the death, so they were not prepared to take care of the prisoners of war, and Zhang Yaoyang did not know how to deal with these prisoners of war, and it was impossible to let them go home, because the Spanish high-level was worried that these defenders would escape, so they did not leave a small boat on the island.

Zhang Yaoyang asked these prisoners of war to stay in the original fortifications and wait for the follow-up troops, but the prisoners of war did not do it, because they were afraid that Lin Yuan's troops would abandon them, Lin Yuan's troops would not care about them, and the Spanish colonial government would not care about them, and they would not starve to death on the island? As a result, the prisoners of war followed the air cavalry regiment to the death, and the original elite combat unit instantly became a bloated "nanny team".

Zhang Yaoyang had no choice, so he let the prisoners of war follow, these prisoners of war were also very good, helping Lin Yuan's troops to find every artillery fortification, Zhang Yaoyang They went inside to take a look, and they found that the cannon inside was already covered with moss! It turned out that the earth had accumulated on the cannon body, and the tenacious moss had made a home here.

The threat of Corregido Island was thus lifted, and the 26th and 27th Divisions bypassed Corregidor Island, and at Mani**, where Lin Yuan's troops went, the Spanish troops surrendered, and the advance troops of the 26th Division entered the city of Manila without firing a single shot.

When the advance force entered the city of Manila, the 1st Amphibious Division was still on the road from Real to Manila, and their journey was much smoother, and they did not encounter any obstacles during the landing, and they did not encounter the Spanish defenders after entering the city, and there were even small traders and vendors selling various souvenirs when they passed through the city.

The advance regiment of the 26th Division entered the city of Manila, and the first thing was to control the governor's palace and banks, including the bank vault, and control all the gold and silver in it, Governor Sandras did not flee in the wilderness, he wrapped the governor's dress around his body, hung medals on his chest, and wore a long sword at his waist, walked out of the governor's palace, and said loudly to the soldiers of Lin Yuan's troops outside the door: "I am the governor of the Philippines of the Spanish Empire, I want to meet Mr. Lin Yuan and negotiate with him!" ”

Lin Yuan had given an order in advance not to hurt these Spanish colonial rulers, so the soldiers of the advance regiment politely invited Sanderas back to the division headquarters, and in the division headquarters, Sanderas saw Lin Yuan with a video call device, Sanderas said to Lin Yuan: "Mr. Lin Yuan, now that we have surrendered, you have to treat us according to the international convention!" ”

Lin Yuan nodded and said: "Although we China are not a signatory to the Geneva Conventions, I, Lin, have never liked to abuse prisoners of war, don't worry, I will send you back to China." ”

Sanderas hurriedly said: "No, no, no, I'm not going back to Spain, I'm going to France." ”

Lin Yuan was stunned for a moment and asked, "What are you doing in France?" ”

Sanderas didn't answer directly, but said, "Mr. Lin Yuan, I hope you can respect my privacy!" ”

Lin Yuan couldn't help but laugh, and then Lin Yuan's attendant handed Lin Yuan a note, which read: "Most of the money embezzled by Sandras is in BNP Paribas, and he has bought a lot of high-end villas and luxury goods in France. Lin Yuan immediately understood: Sanderas had made enough money and wanted to escape to France to live a paradise-like life.

Lin Yuan's purpose was to integrate the Philippines into China's economic system, and he naturally disdained a few corrupt high-ranking officials, so he smiled and said: "No problem, I promised to send you to France, and I will contact the French ambassador, hoping that you can do your best to transfer the Philippine power to us." ”

Sanderas said yes, and then said, "Mr. Lin Yuan, if you can agree to one condition for me, I will sue you for a very important matter!" ”

Lin Yuan asked, "What conditions?" Let's hear it. ”

Sanderas said, "I hope you can arrange for me to visit China and taste the various Chinese cuisines!" ”

Lin Yuan frowned and said, "It's that simple? ”

Sandras also frowned and asked rhetorically, "Is it easy?" There are so many delicacies in Chinese, and it is a big project to taste them all! ”

Lin Yuan thought to himself: "I knew that Sanderas was such a foodie, why did I send so many troops over to do it?" Send a few chefs to the Philippines and it will be calm! Lin Yuan said: "Okay, you say, what's important?" ”

Sandras said: "The anti-Chinese riots were planned by the British!" They sent a guy named Alex? Charlton's man, I heard that he used to be the general director of the Ministry of Industry in the British Concession in Shanghai, and he once fought with you. ”

Lin Yuan thought to himself: "If you catch this Charlton, it will be very good for understanding the strategic intentions of the British!" Lin Yuan hurriedly asked, "Then where is this Charlton?" ”

"He's going to Indonesia on a cruise ship called Atlantic, so if you want to catch him, stop the Atlantic," Sandras said. ”
