This night was really lively. The gunfire of Ping Pong Pong rang out in the middle of the night, and there was a violent explosion in the middle. If it wasn't for the more than 1,000 mercenaries of the Far East Company who were stationed in Malagon, I do n't know yet. What a mess.

"The Spaniard bought the big ghost's men, threw a grenade into the big ghost's house last night, and the big ghost and pineapple died on the spot. Later, the big ghost's men mutated. Fortunately, the mercenaries of the Far East Company calmed down. In the morning, Jimmy This explains to Fernand Gonzalez and Lin Xianghai what happened last night.

The scene was very tragic. The house where the big ghost lived had completely collapsed due to a violent explosion. The mercenaries were busy all night. They finally dug out the body of the big ghost and pineapple from the ruins. Although they are completely different, they can still be identified as big ghosts. And pineapple himself.

As for the men brought back by the ghost and pineapple, all of them were killed in the crossfire last night. Some died from internal strife. The rest were hanged by mercenaries from the Far East Company.

Think of yesterday 's meeting. It 's weird from the beginning to the end. It 's full of conspiracy no matter how you look at it. Unfortunately, the ghosts and pineapples and their men are dead. It's important.

"Damn the Spaniard." Fernand Gonzalez Jr. gritted his teeth. Of course he didn't believe Jimmy, but what about it, the answer is this. If you don't want to completely tear your face, then it's better to accept Jimmy's statement, Fernand Gonzalez Jr did not want to find the truth either, because Fernand Gonzalez Jr felt that he was in a huge crisis, so maybe the big ghost and pineapple of today are the little Fernan of tomorrow De Gonzalez.

"What about the front line?" Lin Xianghai accepted more thoroughly, and immediately asked a more important question.

Yeah, there are thousands of big ghosts and pineapples on the frontline. If the incident here spreads to the frontline, we do n't know how much trouble will happen. If the Spaniards in Manila launch an offensive, the mighty uprising may face The devastation.

"Don't worry, you will immediately return to the front line of Manila and collect the troops of the Big Ghost and Pineapple. Our plans must also be adjusted, and the Pacific Fleet will be ready before launching an attack on Manila." Jimmy has a complete plan here, less No one is okay, it's a bit hasty to push Lin Xianghai to the front of the stage now. Jimmy originally wanted to wait for Manila before pushing Lin Xianghai to the front.

This matter, it is impossible to do the best of both worlds. If Lin Xianghai saves his strength now, after the occupation of Manila, Lin Xianghai will lack enough prestige. It will be said that it will not be necessary to give Lin Xianghai some prestige, but if he ca n't wait now When arriving at the stage, the Chinese in Manila might be the object of anger of the Spaniards and local indigenous people. The consequences were also unwilling to see by Jimmy and Austin.

"I'll go back and get ready to go." Lin Xianghai was also anxious.

Lin Xianghai didn't oppose Jimmy's arrangement. Jimmy let Lin Xianghai save his strength, and Lin Xianghai immersed himself in training. Now that it's time for the mule to be pulled out by the horse, Lin Xianghai is eager to prove himself on the battlefield.

Of course, Lin Xianghai did not forget his original intention of going to Ryukyu. The Spanish and Luzon natives have owed blood debts to the Chinese in recent years. They must always be clear a little bit. There will be opportunities in the future, with the help of Ryukyu and the Far East Company. Can't do that, Lin Xianghai might as well buy a piece of tofu and hit it.

On the same day, Fernández Gonzalez and Lin Xianghai returned to the front line and incorporated the troops of the big ghost and pineapple. When Lin Xianghai set off, he took 1,200 Chinese troops who had received complete basic training. This is Lin Xianghai's future. Government capital.

The collection and editing work was carried out smoothly. When the large ghosts were collected, some people questioned the cause of the death of the large ghosts. Lin Xianghai killed decisively and directly shot all the questioning officers in the name of the rebellion. Then Lin Xianghai's men swelled to 4000. I

The expansion is so fast that it will definitely affect the combat effectiveness of the troops. Lin Xianghai did not mix Chinese and indigenous troops, but quietly replaced all middle- and low-level officers with Chinese. Then the army began to reorganize. To a certain degree of training, even if you know that most indigenous people are cannon fodder, you must make these cannon fodder more valuable.

In this way, the attack on Manila must have stopped, and Lin Xianghai and Fernand Gonzalez Jr had to order the troops to retreat temporarily from contact with Manila's servants.

This in turn gave the Spaniards the opportunity to take advantage of this short truce. The Governor of Spain in Luzon transferred all of his minions in Medan, Wright and other places to Manila to strengthen the defense, and organized the Spaniards in Luzon to form volunteers. Prepare to let go of the rebels.

These transfers were carried out under the eyes of the rebels. Although Jimmy knew but was helpless, there was no way. The Spaniards had warships, but the Rebels only had sampans. On land, the Rebels could use the superior weapons to beat the Spaniards to find them. As soon as you reach the sea, the power gap between the two sides immediately falls. Ryukyu can only use the method of sneaking to transport goods to Luzon.

The Spaniards also know that Ryukyu is sneaking across the sea near Maragon. Every day there are small boats to and fro by night. The Governor's Mansion tried everything to combat it, and even sent warships to the waters near Maragon to try Maragon was completely blocked, and whenever the ships were seen, the Spanish warships fired.

On the evening of October 25, the Spanish colonial fleet destroyer "Challenge" found a ship of unknown nationality in the waters near Maragon. "Challenge" immediately asked the other party to stop the ship for inspection. When the other ship escaped, "Challenge" The commander ordered the artillery to fire. Half an hour later, Challenge 50 rescued about 15 Americans in the sea 50 kilometers north of Maragon. At this time, the Challenge learned that they had sunk Americans. Merchant ship "Freeman".

The news came back to the United States, and the public opinion burst into a bang.

Beginning more than half a year ago, the media headed by "Time" magazine began to advocate foreign wars. In this era when businessmen need profit, politicians need political achievements, military personnel need military merit, and ordinary people also want luck, war is for everyone. The consensus is that the United States has indeed struggled from the economic crisis, but the economy is not recovering fast enough. If it is to recover to the level before the economic crisis as soon as possible, war is the best way.

The power of the media must not be ignored. Most Americans have not been educated these years. Many of them are even confused about the relationship between news agencies and government agencies. Therefore, the media is very powerful. "After the headline reported that the" Freeman "merchant ship was sunk by a Spanish warship," retaliation "immediately became the consensus of all.

"General George Dewey 's fleet has set off for Manila, and now may have blocked the port of Manila. Maybe there will be news of war soon. Our opportunity is here, everybody, use all the power in your hands. We The parliament needs to be approved as soon as possible to declare war on the Spaniards, and the reasons they want are already there. "Li Mu was content with contentment, and now everything is in short supply. As long as Congress declares war on the Spaniards, the Far East Company can complete the harvest in Luzon.

This was at the shareholders meeting of the Far East Company held in Clinton Castle. After several months, a group of "war traffickers" gathered again. Now, "war traffickers" are no longer the exclusive titles of Li Mu. Rockefeller, Henry DuPont, and even their reputations have always been good. J.P. Morgan, they are all called "Warmongers".

"Is General George Dewey's fleet sufficiently confident?" J.P. Morgan still had doubts that war was a completely new territory for J.P. Morgan.

"One hundred percent certainty, the few broken ships of the Spaniards could not compete with General George Dewey's fleet." Li Mu had enough confidence in George Dewey's fleet.

Previous information obtained by Li Mu indicated that the Spanish colonial fleet in Luzon consisted of a total of seven warships, of which the flagship with the largest tonnage was only 1100 tons. All of these warships were all wooden sail warships, not even a steel shell, of which The longest-serving warship has been in service for more than 30 years. It is said that the Spaniards never dared to leave the Grandpclass warship out of the port because they were afraid of being broken by the waves.

All of George Dewey's fleet are propeller-driven new warships. Most of these warships use steel to reinforce key parts. The maximum caliber of the artillery on the ship is 250 mm, and the largest on the Spanish colonial fleet is 125 mm. The number of guns is still large. The gap, no matter how you look at it, George Dewey has no reason to fail.

"The Spaniards are crazy. They actually opened fire on our merchant ships. Thank God, this is the reason to be delivered to the door." Henry DuPont did not care if the Spaniards had lost their minds or whether the sailors on the merchant ships were rescued. Henry DuPont only cares about the results.

Perhaps Henry Dupont didn't know Li Mu enough. After listening to Henry Dupont's words, Rockefeller subconsciously glanced at Li Mu.

"This is the Spaniard's own stupidity, it has nothing to do with me." Li Mu helplessly spread his hands. Although Rockefeller's expression was obviously unbelievable, Li Guo was not willing to memorize this.

Do n't worry about why the Spaniards opened fire on American merchant ships. The key is that the Spaniards did so. Maybe the Captain of the Challenge fainted. Maybe the Freeman was indeed providing supplies to Maragon. It's important, it's important that Washington finally gets the right excuse.

Now this result is not bad. At least you don't need to blow up your own warship, and you have to bury 266 sailors. It is not only good to think of it, it is very good.

"No one said that it has anything to do with you, so let's break up and it's time to finish the harvest." Rockefeller rolled his eyes, and the truth wasn't important. The important thing was that the result was good for the United States.

A group of capitalists shot together. The efficiency is still very high. Although Congress has dragged on other things, the word "efficiency" has never existed, but in this matter, Congress expressed great enthusiasm. At the end of November, the Congress The Senate and the House of Representatives issued a joint resolution requesting the Spanish government to explain the bombardment of American merchant ships by Luzon colony warships, and asked the Spanish to open the port of Manila, and the US Pacific Fleet was stationed in Manila to investigate the matter.

Obviously, this is a request that the Spanish government absolutely cannot accept.

President Hayes did not even wait for the Spanish government to reply. On November 25th, Hayes signed the war resolution and passed the resolution to the Spanish government.

Considering that the Pacific Fleet led by Georges Dewey blocked the port of Manila on November 1, Hayes advanced the war time to November 1.

Can war time be advanced?

Yes, there is no problem at all. Actually, the war broke out from the moment Captain Challenge ordered the firing.

"We need to defeat the Spaniards as quickly as possible. I have already prepared a list. As soon as the war is over, we will begin to explore oil in Luzon. Asia has the largest population in the world. This is a huge market. We must seize it. Opportunity. "Rockefeller has an ideal, and businessmen who don't want to do business all over the world are not good merchants. Developing the Asian market is also why Rockefeller joined the Far East Company.

"I don't know if there is oil in Luzon, but I know it must be in the Dutch East India." Li Mu's ambitions are great. Now that the Spaniards have become meat on the chopping board, it is necessary to find new targets.

In Li Mu's impression, Luzon is indeed not a well-known oil field, but Dutch East India has discovered oil. Compared with the bad luck of Spain, the Dutch are not much better. Both of these ancestors have been beautiful. One is a "coachman at sea" and one that once had an "invincible fleet" is now a yellow flower of yesterday. As long as Washington is willing, the Dutch cannot escape.

"It 's not possible for Dutch East India. Our current enemy is Spain, not the Netherlands. I do n't think the Dutch will be our enemy for decades, so if we want oil, we 'd better use a milder way. "Rockefeller was very sober and declared war on the Spaniards. It was an attempt by the United States to test the attitudes of the British and the French through this incident. After all, the Netherlands and Spain are different. Spain is now pushing the wall and everyone is pushing the Netherlands. Maintaining a close relationship, the Great Spain can, the British can watch the fire across the shore, but if the Dutch are hit, the British's attitude is still uncertain.

If you change people, Rockefeller has no patience to explain. Li Mu is different. Li Mu is also a shareholder of Mobil Oil. Rockefeller wants to give Li Mu the respect it deserves.

The so-called "moderate way" is probably to spend money to buy.

Li Mu does not like this approach.
