"You have nearly 300,000 troops, can't you deal with a little bit of the natives Roosevelt has been disturbed by the large-scale counteroffensive of China in various places, and when I first heard the Philippines' request for help, I couldn't help but reprimand.\\

Although nearly half of this is non-combatants, such as logistics and reserves, there are at least 50,000 well-armed soldiers. These were preparing to counterattack the front-line troops of the Chinese army, but the Chinese army had not yet landed, and was disturbed by a group of indigenous Philippine guerrillas to ask for help?

If the U.S. military only has such a little combat effectiveness, Roosevelt simply recalls all the U.S. troops and retreats to the United States to protect itself. Even the natives of the colony can't be defeated, won't they be reduced to the same level as the Noodle Army?

He did not think about the indigenous problems of the Philippines at all. Unless they all become King Kong who can fight planes one by one, even with the support of the Chinese people behind them, those Filipino monkeys will still be a rabble, he has no doubt about this

Still, he looked at Marshall, hoping he could give himself an explanation.

"There are too many Chinese troops in the Philippines!" Marshall smiled wryly.

At first, even Stilwell and McNair in the Philippines didn't care, even if the Chinese army appeared later, they believed that they could rely on 300,000 troops

bulldozing, and there are 140,000 navies to help in the war, even if the air power is a little weaker, there is no fear of a large-scale landing of the Chinese army on the island.

However, it did not take long for them to discover that the Chinese fleets that appeared from time to time in the surrounding waters had not yet launched large-scale landing operations, and a large number of Chinese troops had been emerging from the depths of the jungles of the Philippine islands, constantly raiding US military garrisons in various places.

"We don't know how many of them there are, maybe tens of thousands, maybe even hundreds of thousands! They are mixed in with the Filipinos, and our people are hard to tell. Marshall Road.

"They're not Chinese?" Roosevelt groaned.

Marshall understood what he was asking.

Although most of the Chinese in the Philippines chose to migrate with the compensation of the Chinese government in Southeast Asia, more people left after the tension between China and the United States. But there are still many Chinese who are reluctant to leave.

In order to protect themselves, most of them gathered together and built up their own armaments. These armed forces are mainly against the indigenous Filipinos, as long as they still pay various taxes and fees, and the Americans do not carry out large-scale operations against American civilians, and the Americans also turn a blind eye, only restricting their movement and freedom, and there are no drastic measures.

Of course, the lives of tens of thousands of American prisoners held by Huaxia are also an important reason why the Americans are worried that there is no large-scale retaliation against the Chinese.

In addition to those who were honestly restricted in their range of activities, there were also some Chinese who hid in remote areas and even directly joined the resistance, especially during the period of Japanese rule, the Chinese resistance in the dense forest was a headache for the Japanese, even after the Americans took over the Philippines, they did not know how many Chinese participated in the resistance.

Intelligence services have given figures of more than 20,000 or 30,000 people, although there are reports that the number could be higher.

"It's not the civilian armed forces of those Chinese organizations, but the real army. They have strong combat capabilities, advanced weapons, sophisticated equipment, and better organization. Knowing that Roosevelt was suspicious of the Chinese, Marshall immediately clarified, "Our troops who fought against them suffered great losses, and we suspect that they are the elite troops of China." ”

"Elite troops? There are so many people, and there are a lot of advanced weapons, so how did they get to the Philippines? Is our coastal defense so bad? What if the same thing happened on our home soil? Roosevelt's mood was even worse.

Tens of thousands of Chinese troops, even elite, could not pose much of a threat to the Philippines, which the Americans had been running for nearly half a century. He was more concerned about how the Huaxia army landed on the island.

Although the coastal defense of the Philippines is much worse than that of the United States, if the American troops stationed in the Philippines are in a state of combat readiness, they can still be slipped up by so many Chinese troops, either the Chinese army is too powerful, or the American army is too incompetent. Either way, it's an absolutely bad thing.

"Maybe the Chinese have long been lurking to deal with the Japanese!" Marshall guessed.

He believed in the blockade capabilities of the U.S. military, and in times of armament, with the help of many Filipino doglegs.

Roosevelt also nodded slightly, regained confidence in the American army, and said: "These Chinese troops are not to worry, no matter how many of them are, they are not as numerous as the Filipinos." As long as we give more money and power, those greedy Filipino leaders will make wise choices. Tell Stilwell not to talk about using a gun, sometimes a candy is more useful! ”

Americans have always been very willing to throw candy, and Filipinos, who have always been cheap, only need a little sweetness to change their position. Even many indigenous Filipinos who had lost loved ones in the previous riots followed their leaders and fell to the side of the United States.

They immediately turned their guns and directly confronted the Philippines, which were unwilling to turn to the Americans

Don't believe that the average Filipino natives care what skin color is riding on top of their heads, they will only kneel to any owner who throws bones at them in order to survive.

Of course, these ordinary people who are worth the same value as cannon fodder are too far away from the Americans, and the leaders and officials above them are the ones who decide their life and death.

Similarly, the Filipinos in the rebels were equally at the mercy of a few elites.

In the past half century, although the Americans have left a stronger impression on the Filipinos than the more greedy Spaniards, with the tide of national rejuvenation surging around the world, especially the rise of China, which has been regarded as a miracle by various colonial nations, many modernly educated middle and upper class members in the Philippines have struggled to get rid of the colonial rule of the Americans and become an independent country.

Not to mention ideals and the benefits of ordinary people, the redistribution of the vast amount of wealth that flows to Americans every year and the freedom to control the supreme power and glory of an independent country can provoke many Filipino elites to fight for it.

Some of them took refuge in the United States, and some continued to lead a large group of Filipino natives who ate and drank to fight to the end with the support of China.

In this way, the entire Filipino people were divided into two major factions, the pro-American faction and the opposition, and they directly launched a more brutal fight or massacre, regardless of the feelings of their compatriots.

This is what Meng Xiang's plan wants to achieve, not a simple capture of the Philippines.

If it is said that before Huaxia and the United States turned their faces, they took into account the attitude of the Americans, and after the war between the two sides, Huaxia still did not capture the Philippines, and even some people in China complained.

To be honest, the entire Indochina Peninsula was swept away by the Chinese army, leaving only a few islands in the Philippines and Indonesia, not because the Chinese navy was not strong.

Perhaps the Americans thought that the strength of the Chinese Navy was not strong and did not dare to fight the US Navy, but in fact, the strength of the Chinese Navy had exceeded the Americans' inference. Even if China is a little farther away from the Philippines at sea, even the Japanese mainland, where all the people are soldiers, has been completely swept away by China, not to mention the Philippines, which was once defended by only a few US troops.

But Meng Xiang resisted the temptation again and again, and never attacked the Philippines.

Under the circumstance that the direction of attack in the early stage was Europe and he was unable to counterattack the US mainland, he wanted to treat the Philippines as the chicken ribs of the Americans, and draw a bleeding wound in this place that the Americans had to defend, so as to consume the strength of the Americans, and at the same time restrain the powerful naval strength of the United States, so that he had to defend the Philippines first, so as not to run around and hurt the flowers and plants of the Chinese coastline.

In addition, when the speed of Chinese migration to Southeast Asia is full, it will take a long time to digest the Philippines, which has a population of more than 10 million. So Meng Xiang needs to clear the Philippines.

If it is consumed by transporting it to the India-Myanmar border and other places, it is too troublesome. And cleaning up with those smaller and smaller servant armies is also getting slower and slower.

The most convenient thing is to let them have their own internal friction, and in the same end, they will take the initiative to disappear.

When the Chinese army forced towards the Philippines, everything was playing out according to Meng Xiang's script.

The U.S. fleet cruised the Philippine waters, guarding against the logistical supply of the Chinese resistance group and the Chinese landing personnel who had never been detected, and even the possible follow-up landing reinforcements of the Chinese army.

As a result, the convoy carrying supplies to the Philippines has not been strengthened much, and the results of the submarines and fighters that China are constantly attacking the sea transportation channels have increased dramatically, and if it is not necessary for the Americans to give up this piece of chicken ribs, they will even have to be completely cut off.

Even so, the supply sent to the Philippines was not left in ten, which made the Americans feel a lot of pain.

And the weapons that were sent to the indigenous people in the Philippines were basically used in the killing of each other in the Philippines.

They did not dare to deal with the Chinese army, which was stronger than the Americans, and they worked extremely hard to deal with their own people. And the indigenous resistance groups in the Philippines are similarly unceremonious to these Filipino traitors.

The massacre of the exterminating clan is staged every day.

This dark history of the Philippines, which was later counted on the heads of Americans, directly reduced the population of the Philippines by more than half. Combined with other events that followed, the Filipinos ended up in a dusty wilderness. (To be continued)
