Don't look at the American blockbusters, the US military is portrayed as an angel, and you have to send a sugar and chocolate at every turn, starting from these details to show the so-called humanity of the United States.

In fact, the "North American bandits" are more suitable for the US military units, and the moral decay of a unit is usually described as "unorganized and undisciplined." North American bandits are organized and undisciplined, which is more terrible than being unorganized and undisciplined.

In the Philippines, of course, the same is true, when the servant soldiers stab their bayonets at the woman who has been shot and fell to the ground, the officers from the United States look at them coldly, and do not have any intention of stopping them, but urge the troops to speed up, hoping to take the small town of Deeni faster.

No matter how the Filipinos cried for mercy, they were forced by the bayonets of the servants to approach the small town of Deeni step by step.

Unlike yesterday's battle, this time the Servant Army had clearly learned its lesson, and before the ground troops had entered Diney, the warships parked on the sea began to bombard the shore to cover the movement of the ground forces.

The power of large-caliber naval guns was still considerable, and American naval guns not only fired high-explosive shells, but also used incendiary bombs against Free Army fighters hiding in the woods.

"Fire, fire—" Alan didn't want to be beaten passively, if the raid turned into a sniper battle, the Free Army soldiers would suffer huge losses.

After a burst of heavy fire, Alan immediately commanded his troops to retreat.

With the cover of naval guns, it is difficult for the Free Army to take too much advantage, but it is impossible for the warship to stay off the coast of Diney forever, and after the warship leaves, the Free Army will make a comeback.

After great sacrifices, the Servants finally captured Deeney.

"From the landing to the present, we have lost more than 3,500 people, and if we continue to fight, the troops may collapse directly." David Andrewson's expression was ugly, and now MacArthur is like a cold-blooded butcher, constantly driving the servant officers and soldiers to death, even if many of the servant officers are Americans.

"We've made progress, once we have secured our forward base, we can attack inland, send a telegram to Manila, I need more reinforcements, where are the damn reinforcements?" MacArthur was in a violent mood, and he also knew that the troops had suffered heavy losses, but when the battle was reached, MacArthur had no way back.

"Even the requisition of troops will take time, and now that there are less than 3,000 troops left in Manila, we must first ensure the safety of Manila-" David Andrewson argued that the United States only has this number of people in the Philippines, and the garrisons in various places still need a large number of troops, and there is no way to send reinforcements to MacArthur in a short time.

Unless troops are requisitioned from the continental United States.

But in that case, it goes back to the original question, whether it is worth it to requisition hundreds of thousands of troops and spend hundreds of millions of dollars for a small Palawan island.

"The rebels have retreated, and now with a little more force, we can wipe out all the rebels, believe me, we have the ability." MacArthur was stubborn, and the capture of Deeney gave MacArthur great confidence and gave MacArthur hope of victory.

"The rebels are a strategic retreat, and they have not suffered huge losses, if we want to attack, we must be prepared to fight guerrilla warfare with the rebels, we simply do not have this ability now, we must pay more attention to the rebels, these people are by no means fishermen who have just taken up arms." David Andrewson is now sure of at least one thing, and that is that the rebels in Palawan are indeed backed by outside forces.

Otherwise, it is simply impossible to explain why the rebels have such a strong fighting force.

The Filipino Servants, even if they are poor, are regular troops with rigorous training, and the officers are all Americans, so there is no reason why they can't even deal with a bunch of fishermen.

"As I said, it must be the southern Africans who are responsible for this, so we must destroy the rebels, even if we blow up all Palawan, we must hang all those rebels." MacArthur howled wildly, and he wanted to tie the United States to the chariot at all costs.

"You're crazy, you must be crazy-" David Andrewson completely collapsed, MacArthur had lost his sanity and composure as a commander-in-chief, and in doing so, he would drag the United States into the abyss.

At a time when MacArthur and David Andrewson were at odds, in Manila, 400 kilometres away from Dini, Luke Silva was still campaigning for the women and children in the makeshift camp.

In the aftermath of the rebellion in Palawan, the U.S. Governor General in the Philippines, Leonard Wood, used security as an excuse to restrict southern African staff and deny access to makeshift camps for all but doctors and nurses.

"Your Excellency the Governor, the investigation always needs a time limit, and it is impossible to delay it indefinitely, hundreds of southern Africans have been imprisoned by you in temporary camps for more than a month, how long will it take you to get to the bottom of the matter?" Luke Silva is not in a hurry at all, it is Leonard Wood who is in a hurry.

"No comment!" Leonard Wood's face is ugly, since the rebellion in Palawan, Leonard Wood has been in a huge crisis, if the rebellion cannot be quelled as soon as possible, then Leonard Wood will be used as a scapegoat and leave the Philippines in disgrace.

Luke Silva smiled and looked at Leonard Wood with sarcasm in his eyes.

Whether the Americans admit it or not, there is indeed a huge gap between the United States and Great Britain in the governance of the colonies.

If you think about it, it is understandable that it has only been a few years since the United States began its foreign expansion, and it has only been twenty or thirty years since the Spanish-American War.

Britain's overseas colonization began in the Age of Discovery, and its experience in governing colonies is unparalleled in the world.

The key is to look at the strength of the rebels, and now the Americans also know that the rebels in Palawan are supported by external forces, and it is indeed unwise to be blindly tough at this time.

It is a pity that some experiences can only be summed up through lessons, and the Americans are still very immature in this regard.

"The waters around Palawan have been blocked, and any ship that comes close will be coldly attacked by the US Navy, how long do you think the rebels in Palawan will be able to hold out?" Leonard Wood is also very sneering, blocking the sea is one of the options, and whether it has an effect remains to be verified.

"Ah, you don't have to worry about this, Your Excellency the Governor, the southern African ships will stay away from the waters around Palawan." In fact, since the seizure of the southern African migrant boat, all the southern African ships have circled the Philippines to avoid further escalation of conflicts.

"East India—" Leonard Wood really wanted to play on the topic.

"Hehe, the East Indies have nothing to do with Southern Africa, and we have no right to restrict East India ships." Luke Silva didn't accept the call, what kind of ability is it to seize the migrant ship, and he has the ability to declare war with the East Indies-

Declaring war on the East Indies is tantamount to declaring war on southern Africa.

If Southern Africa were to go to war, it would drag all the Commonwealth countries into the war.

In the event of a war between the Commonwealth and the United States, guess where the countries of the Old Continent stand.

The wealth accumulated by the United States over the years is still very eye-catching.

Looking at Luke Silva in a relaxed outfit, Leonard Wood felt his teeth itch a little.

Originally, according to Leonard Wood's assumption, the Philippines seized the migrant ships in southern Africa, and southern Africa could retaliate in reciprocal terms, seizing one or two American ships, and everyone tacitly created a little friction, brushed up on their existence, and had a reason to ask their respective countries for more military spending.

As a result, southern Africa did not follow the script at all, and as soon as the Philippines seized the migrant boat, a huge rebellion broke out in Palawan, which directly shook the foundation of the American colonial Philippines, which really caught Leonard Wood off guard.

Now Leonard Wood is also riding a tiger, even if the migrant ship is released, the rebellion in Palawan Island will not be able to be quelled in a short time.

But continue to seize the migrant boats—

Don't treat southern Africa as a mud man, although the British Empire is strategically shrinking, ports and fleets are still all over the world, it is not difficult to sanction the United States, and not allowing American ships to enter British ports can bankrupt most of the American ocean shipping companies.

"Luke, can you help me contact Gao of the Umbrella Company." Leonard Wood needed a step, or his political career would soon come to an end.

"Of course, but why?" Luke Silva was surprised.

"There's a business to discuss." Leonard Wood actually wants to hire the mercenaries of the Umbrella Company to deal with the rebels in Palawan -

Oh, this brain hole is a bit big, I'm afraid Leonard Wood doesn't know that there are many mercenaries of the umbrella company in the rebels in Palawan now.

Or maybe Leonard Wood knew that this was what he hoped for, too.

"Hire mercenaries from the umbrella company? Hehe, Your Excellency the Governor, I'm afraid you don't know, the Umbrella Corporation never does anything beyond its capabilities. Luke Silva reminded Leonard Wood.

The umbrella company does have similar regulations, not to meddle in disputes between major countries, and only to do things within the scope of their capabilities.

To put it bluntly, it is to bully the weak and fear the hard, such as the scattered Asian Peninsula in Asia Minor, and for example, in South America, where there are no tigers and monkeys in the mountains to call the king, there are mercenaries of the umbrella company.

But in the British and French overseas colonies, the umbrella company followed the rules, at most providing security services for the local elites, and never accepted the employment of rebels.

"What is the scope of the Umbrella Company's capabilities?" Leonard Wood doesn't believe these nonsense, and the rules are broken.

"For example, assisting the Philippine government in quelling the insurgency in Palawan is beyond the scope of the umbrella company." Luke Silva drew the line directly, saying that if he didn't interfere, he wouldn't interfere.

Hire mercenaries from the umbrella company to work for the Americans?

Think beautifully!
