What's the problem with the country paying the price while private companies make profits? Isn't this the national condition of the United States? We can't blame Sheffield for liking war. If the security war continues for a long time, it is indeed the biggest benefit to military industrial enterprises. As for fighting against a truly powerful country, private companies

What companies consider is making money, not risking their lives. That thing is too dangerous.

After the general situation in the Philippines stabilizes, that is, after entering the stage of public security war, Sheffield will consider leaving this place, returning to his homeland to continue developing his career, and continue to contribute to the arrival of the American century. He believes that this time will not be too long.

Longer.

Jesla nodded, fully agreeing with her boss's idea. Her boss is a businessman himself, so what's wrong with making a profit? What's more, the United Company has done what it can to help build the urban area of ​​Manila! Although it is for the development of real estate...

Although the purpose of building a railway leading to the port is to better transport the resources of the Philippines...

Help the Chinese community build the ability to protect themselves, although this is to better sell guns...

Help the military build open-air camps in order to have a workforce that does not require wages.

Apart from these minor tasks, Sheffield United Company did not do anything harmful. It was built by Chinese laborers who built the railway! The guards at the open-air camp were Filipino puppet soldiers and were affiliated with the military. It was none of his business.

.

Of course, this military operation has defeated the resisters in the northern Philippines, so we can still celebrate. As a patriotic businessman, a model supporter of the army, and a long-time good friend of the United Nations, would Sheffield consider donating something?

Forget it, given the current cooperative relationship between myself and the military, it would be unreasonable to donate anything.

According to the latest news from the United States, the federal government will set up two governors in the Philippines, one is a civilian governor and the other is a military governor. Sheffield remembered that not only Arthur MacArthur is now in the Philippines, but also his son Douglas MacArthur is in the Philippines.

I worked as the Supreme Emperor for a while.

If the father and son are compared with another person, only Mountbatten of the British Empire seems to be somewhat similar. He is the second son of the British First Sea Lord, Prince Louis Mountbatten, Marquess of Milford Haven, and his mother is black.

Princess Victoria of the Grand Duchy of Sen-Rhine.

Later, he served as the Allied Joint Operations Commander, and then as the Commander-in-Chief of the Allied Forces in the Southeast Asian Theater, coordinating the actions of Stilwell, Slim, and Wingate. Later, he served as the Governor-General of India and the Deputy King, proposing the "Mountbatten Plan" to make

India and Pakistan were divided. Later, he served as Commander-in-Chief of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization's Mediterranean Fleet and Chief of Staff of the British Navy. He was promoted to Marshal.

The life of MacArthur and his son in the Philippines was almost the same as Mountbatten's life in India. Of course, Douglas MacArthur surpassed his father and lived like an emperor in the Philippines and Japan.

Knowing that MacArthur was a popular candidate for military governor, Sheffield naturally expressed that he had long been optimistic about MacArthur and underestimated his ability. After all, after he left, the legal property of the United Company in the Philippines may still need the care of successive Philippine governors.

MacArthur was in high spirits during happy events. He may not know the news from the federal government now, but since the attack on the Philippines, MacArthur has commanded many clearing operations in succession, which has severely affected the citizens of the United States and established his presence.

to gain his prestige in the military.

He was also very happy that Sheffield came to congratulate him. Sometimes he wondered whether he should quickly introduce his son Douglas MacArthur to Sheffield.

It happened that Sheffield also mentioned his son, saying that Douglas MacArthur was admitted to West Point Military Academy and would definitely be a very respectable general in the future. Starting from praising the other's son, the two entered into a series of compliments.

First of all, Sheffield was happy that MacArthur's settlement in the northern Philippines was going smoothly, and he said some polite words that the Philippines would soon calm down. Although he believed this himself, he just said it casually if others wanted to hear it.

However, MacArthur still had some unreserved opinions about military operations, saying that the enemy should be disintegrated from within. This surprised Sheffield, as it seemed that the other party had not said this not long ago.

From this point of view, MacArthur seems to have one advantage, that is, he is not stubborn. He has already shown it through military operations. Blindly chasing the Filipinos into the sea cannot solve the problem. He must find ways to break down the resistance.

"Actually, there is nothing we can do. We can learn some useful factors from the British experience. I can't say that it will definitely divert the attention of the Filipinos, but it should still have some effect." After hearing MacArthur's words, Sheffield's

His eyes were twitching, and he couldn't help but feel bad.

"William seems to have some ideas?" MacArthur laughed. He actually didn't have much expectations in his heart. The main reason was that the United Company had already done a lot to help the military, so he did not refuse directly. Speaking of this businessman, he might use money to win over him.

The landowners and farmers in the Philippines may still have a way, but we still can't count on others.

"The easiest way to divert attention is territorial disputes, which may require the cooperation of the Dutch." Sheffield didn't care what MacArthur thought. Anyway, what the British Empire did was just follow suit.

The most famous of these is the conflict between India and Pakistan, which is a masterpiece of the British. This is just the most famous one in people's minds, and the British are veterans in this aspect.

In addition to historical reasons, Sudan was divided into two countries, and the help of the United Kingdom was indispensable. After the invasion, the country adopted a "divide and rule" policy. This policy strengthened the differences between the north and the south of Sudan and planted the seeds of future conflicts between the north and the south.

Specific to Southeast Asia, Malaysia and Indonesia are actually almost as closely related to each other as the Northern and Southern Dynasties in Chinese history. In the eyes of many Malaysians in later generations, Indonesians look at it just like the Chinese look at South Korea. Is this your history? Are you here to steal it?

Why does everything belong to Malaysians?

Malaysia is a British colony and Indonesia is a Dutch colony. In fact, both of them are Malays in a broad sense. Unlike the Malays in the Philippines, the Philippines has become a Christian country.

Territorial disputes are the fastest way to divert attention. This can be seen from the fact that after the withdrawal of the United Kingdom, countries around the world became hostile to each other. As the biological sons of the British Empire, if the British can do it, can the United States not do it?

Sheffield decided to follow the lead of today's world hegemon, the benchmark for all nations, and find something for the Filipinos to do. The best nearby target was Indonesia under the rule of the Dutch.

Indonesia is known as a country of ten thousand islands, and its territory is extremely fragmented. This fragmentation is actually not conducive to the stability of the country. This is because there are no high-profile players nearby. Indonesia itself is large enough. Australia’s population is too small. If

If Australia had a larger population, it would be able to torture Indonesia to death.

Later Indonesia still had no idea how many archipelagos it had in its own country, let alone the country that was still a Dutch colony. Maybe he didn't even know how many archipelagos his country had.

"This can be done as long as our governor and the Dutch governor say hello. If the Filipinos continue to resist, after a period of suppression, the Philippine puppet troops can be sent to capture an island in the North Maluku Province of India.

, and greatly promote that this island has been an integral part of the Philippine territory since ancient times, and at the same time highlight the heroic image of Santos, which can reduce a certain degree of resistance and also contribute to supporting our United States."

Sheffield pointed out several of the benefits. First, it can establish a positive image of the Philippine puppet army. Second, it can divert the attention of ordinary Filipinos. Third, after territorial disputes, it can sow discord between the Philippines and nearby ethnic groups, so that these

The ethnic groups who are also colonized no longer sympathize with the Filipinos' plight.

"There is no nearby colony more suitable than Indonesia." Sheffield gave the advice righteously. He was a little complicated about Indonesia as a country. First of all, he knew about a famous incident, but that famous incident was the result of the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency

Planned by the bureau.

Sheffield can't attack his motherland in this life, so finding something to do for Indonesia can be regarded as serving as a few bullets for the United States.

After Sheffield finished speaking his thoughts eloquently, MacArthur's eyes immediately changed. How could this famous patriotic businessman be so young, so evil-minded? Even though everything was for the sake of the great United States, he still felt weird every time he thought about it.

.

In order to solve the problems that the expeditionary force may encounter, let the puppet troops go out to seize a Dutch island? To divert the attention of the Filipino resisters. However... there seems to be no problem.

"Must we use puppet troops? Only in this way can we clear up the relationship and communicate with the Dutch Governor. In fact, the Dutch will not make a fuss about the disputed islands, as long as we can express goodwill." Sheffield did not say this.

This must be done, but the serious analysis still makes people feel that he is serious.

He also knew that if everything went well, MacArthur would never do this, but what if it didn't go well? The American colonists and the Dutch colonists were acting out a show, what's the fuss about it.
