"I'm just worried about you!" Anne said to Sheffield like no one else was around. Seeing this scene, the guests in the distance all responded with kind smiles, seeming to bless the couple who were in love.

"What are you worried about? I am different from the businessmen in a fast place like the Philippines. You should know this." Sheffield laughed dumbly. Although we are all businessmen, the similarities between us are limited to our profession. The representatives of these resistance forces in the Philippines

As the national capitalist of the Philippines, what does Sheffield represent? The highest stage of capitalism, monopoly imperialism.

The former, the local national capitalists, are the ones who best embody the weakness of capitalism. They have little wealth and are hesitant about looking forward and backward. What are they? They represent the other side of monopoly imperialism. There is no weakness in Sheffield, he only has

The most cruel side of capitalism, the two cannot be compared.

People who have a certain amount of wealth actually do not want the social order to go out of control, because this means that their property will be damaged and even life-threatening. Therefore, such people are more willing to make gradual improvements. The current leader of the Philippine resistance is like this

A group of people, is an imperialist afraid of these existences that can be harvested at any time?

Until the end of the cocktail party, the news of the ambush of the soldiers of the Expeditionary Force in the eastern suburbs did not come through. This made Sheffield a little dissatisfied. In just a few months, the American Expeditionary Force had already become so lax? Although the United States**

The army has never been known for its military discipline, but this is a bit too much.

Until everyone dispersed, Sheffield prepared to lead Anne to carry the load, but nothing happened. This was so disappointing. With such an army, Sheffield himself did not feel safe. How could he protect himself?

Industry? With your own tax money, you can support such a group of drunkards?

It wasn't until early the next morning that a platoon of soldiers who didn't return home all night on Christmas Eve attracted the attention of the military. It wouldn't work if they didn't pay attention, because the bodies had already been discovered. The company commander of his unit thought that these soldiers were on Christmas Eve.

At night, do some things that men know how to do, such as looking for women.

He was not surprised until the body was discovered. He led his company to the ambush site and searched for nearby traces. Then he reported it layer by layer, detonating the expeditionary force's high-level officials in Manila.

"What? Our soldiers were ambushed, who are they?" General MacArthur shouted angrily after hearing this. How dare these local natives take the first action against the great American army? This is simply an insult.

This scene happened to be seen by Sheffield, who was a guest. What was very embarrassing was that Sheffield couldn't explain his psychology. It may be similar to the motivation of some murderers returning to the scene of the crime. Anyway, he is now commanding the expeditionary force.

Ministry is a guest.

MacArthur grabbed the warheads and cartridge cases brought by the commander, and observed them carefully, hoping to judge what happened from this aspect, but MacArthur found that he did not seem to have the impression of such a firearm.

"Did you find anything?" Sheffield looked indignant, without the nervousness of a murderer. He clenched his hands into fists and seemed to feel MacArthur's humiliation.

He wanted to remind this army general, who was no different from ordinary ignorant people, that he couldn't study the weapons of other countries if he had nothing to do? You must know that Japan is dissatisfied with the United States' annexation of Hawaii, so it can be regarded as an imaginary enemy. A general does not even have this knowledge reserve.

No?

Finally, Sheffield couldn't hold it in anymore and said, "With such rare warheads and shells, once we determine who often uses this weapon, we can determine who attacked our soldiers."

"That's right!" MacArthur nodded fiercely, but he did not forget to put his troops into combat readiness. Investigating the truth of the matter was just a necessary process, and he already doubted who did it.

The final investigation results came out. After identification by some locals, this bullet looked very much like a Japanese rifle.

The 22-year-old Murata rifle is a rifle developed in Japan. It was designed by Maj. Gen. Nobuyoshi Murata, a firearms and artillery expert in the Satsuma Domain, based on the French rifle. It is also the first domestically produced standard firearm in Japan after the Meiji Restoration.

The Japanese have always been good at transformation and bad at invention. The appearance, size and internal structure of the gun are almost the same as the French Chaspo rifle. The shape of the bullet chamber is changed to a tapered shape, and two exhaust holes are opened in the chamber. This creates

Unique warhead.

"It is now certain that someone using a Japanese rifle attacked our soldiers. It must be the natives of the Philippines!" MacArthur took the latest investigation results and shouted loudly in front of George Dewey and his commander, Commander Merritt.

He expressed that he wanted to give these natives a big blow.

"Japanese rifles?" General Merritt made his own judgment upon hearing this. Before the arrival of the American Expeditionary Force, the Philippine rebels stepped up their fundraising efforts to purchase arms. In just a few months, they raised 200,000 pesos in donations from the people.

, and at the same time signed an agreement with Japan to purchase 100,000 guns and 150 cannons.

This matter is not a secret for a general of General Merritt's level. The Philippine resistance army dared to go to war with the Spanish, and the covert support shown by Japan must have a huge effect.

Sheffield nodded frequently and finally got to the point. As for why his personal armed forces have Japanese rifles. Although money cannot buy everything in the world, it can buy most of them. It is good for him to get some rifles.

What difficulty?

More than a dozen mid-level and senior military generals almost unanimously believe that this is the fact caused by the Philippine rebels. It does not really matter what the facts are. What is important is that they have determined that this was done by the Philippine rebels.

Just as everyone was discussing whether to take action first and attack the Philippine resistance forces in the eastern suburbs, an officer came in and reported, "The Philippine Provisional Government sent someone to express their sorrow over the attack on the soldiers of the expeditionary force, and they are willing to

Cooperate with the investigation.”

This scene completely angered the first-class and second-class people of the United States. At this time, the other party's behavior clearly did not take them as military generals in their eyes. Even George Dewey, who still had some doubts about this,

Was also angered.

This assist from the Philippine Provisional Government surprised even Sheffield. His brilliance and martial prowess really needed a pig opponent to compare with, but this was too happy. No, it was obviously his foresight that led to such a result, but

No one else matters, all glory goes to Sheffield United.

What kind of response the Philippine interim government makes is actually not very important. What is important is the military generals in Manila. I hope this was done by Filipinos. A little evidence is enough. There is no need for in-depth communication and

After investigating, almost immediately George Dewey telegraphed the federal government about the attack on the expeditionary force soldiers.

Almost at the same time, Sheffield revealed the news via radio to the newspapers and media he controlled. The federal government needs the support of public opinion, and the United States is a democratic country.

A story about a farmer and a snake soon hit the front pages of major newspapers. In this story, the American Expeditionary Force came to the Philippines like angels and helped the Filipinos defeat the evil Spanish colonists.

During the few months we spent together with Filipinos, we were deeply loved by the local people.

However, some Filipino dignitaries who were afraid of losing their rights were hostile and blindly xenophobic towards the well-intentioned American expeditionary force, which helped them drive away the Spanish colonists. However, our simple soldiers were not prepared for this, which caused this

A tragedy.

The final editorial is that the United States of America has the obligation and the right to lead the backward indigenous people into a modern civilized society. This is an unshirkable obligation of the United States of America. Because under the rule of such a group of ungrateful people, the lives of Filipino civilians

Like hell.

"I will kill your husband, sleep with your wife, and beat your son. All this is for your own good!" Sheffield summed up the meaning of these newspapers in very straightforward terms. No matter how shameless the field, who dares to say that the United States is the original state?

Scholar? But although it is shameless, some of these newspapers are my own, so everything is right.

"If the Filipinos hadn't attacked our soldiers, the newspapers wouldn't have said that." Anne pouted, walked over to Sheffield with the coffee, and said softly, "Drink it, the temperature is just right, I've tasted it

Already."

"Dear baby, you are right!" Sheffield mumbled down the coffee and said with a smile, "Even now, the Filipinos still want to clear up the misunderstanding. These rebels, as long as the military uses some force

Jin will definitely be wiped out."

When these so-called Philippine national bourgeoisie encountered monopoly imperialism, they really exposed the weakness of the bourgeoisie to imperialism. Both sides are at different stages of capitalism. Once they collide, it really becomes a dimensionality reduction attack.

, the interim government of the Philippines showed a dilemma, even he, the instigator, could not stand it anymore.

On the contrary, the military has already prepared for war before it has received a decision from the federal government. All troops are already on standby and can enter the battlefield with an order.

On the day when the federal government called back, the Expeditionary Force Command ordered the war against the Philippine Provisional Government. Spain was a thing of the past, and the U.S.-Philippine War officially broke out. The artillery of the American Expeditionary Force immediately launched an artillery bombardment at the Philippine positions in the eastern suburbs! At the same time, various parties

A detachment of troops marched out of Manila to attack the positions of the Philippine rebels. The Philippine interim government has always endured the humiliation and was ultimately not accepted by U.S. imperialism. Now they have to bear the consequences.
