In Manila, the presidential palace of the Republic of the Philippines, in the office of President Quezon, Lieutenant General Zhu Yimin, commander of the 16th Army of the Imperial Army, summoned President Quezon of the former Republic of the Philippines and those high-ranking government officials, other generals of the 16th Army of the Imperial Army, and the heads of the expeditionary forces sent by the Kingdom of Fuso, the Kingdom of Annam, and the Khmer Kingdom, and also accompanied Lieutenant General Zhu Yimin to summon these high-ranking officials of the Republic of the Philippines.

Now, the Empire is the victor in this war, and the Empire has the right to humiliate the vanquished. If the Empire were to include the Philippines in the Empire's vassal system, it probably wouldn't. However, the empire did not think of treating the Philippines well at all. Therefore, the generals of the empire naturally don't have to be kind to these guys.

Standing in front of a vote of imperial generals, there were guards staring at them with threatening and warning eyes, which made Quezon and a cadre of dignitaries of the Republic of the Philippines tremble. Some of the brave people were even trembling with their feet, obviously choking with fright. Their fate is already in the hands of the Chinese, and whether they live or die depends on what the Chinese side will do with them.

President Quezon now regrets it very much, knowing that the Americans were so unbeaten, he should have defected to the Chinese Empire earlier. In this way, it will not fall into the current field.

"Quezon, are you guilty?" Lieutenant General Zhu Yimin asked sharply.

"General, what am I guilty of?" Quezon looked dazed, and at the same time, his heart began to beat a drum. He knew that the Chinese Empire seemed to be planning to deal with him.

"Humph! It's still holding garlic. The Republic of the Philippines under your leadership colluded with the Americans, deliberately opposed the Empire, and even persecuted the Chinese in the Philippines. These are the heinous sins you have committed. Lieutenant General Zhu Yimin said with a cold face.

"General, it's none of my business, it's all done by the Americans. I, the president, am just a puppet pushed out by the Americans, and in fact I have no power at all, and all affairs have to go through the nod of the Americans. Quezon hurriedly cried out, while putting all the blame on the Americans so that he could escape for himself. He didn't know what the Chinese Empire was going to do with him, but it was always right to put the blame on someone else's head. What's more, the Americans left him and ran away alone, so they naturally wanted to pour dirty water on the Americans.

"The Empire naturally knows the sins committed by the Americans, and the Empire will not spare them. But you people, none of them are good. Zhu Yimin looked at these trembling senior officials of the Republic of the Philippines, and was very disdainful in his heart. These are the people who dare to oppose the Empire, do they really think that their American masters can protect them? It's good now, hasn't it fallen into the hands of the Empire?

"General, we know that we are wrong, we are willing to take refuge in the Chinese Empire, be the most loyal lackey of the Chinese Empire, and govern the Philippines well for the Chinese Empire." Quezon said hurriedly. For a person like him, any personal honor and disgrace are empty words, and what he wants is tangible benefits. If he can take refuge in the Chinese Empire and be a lackey of the Chinese Empire, then he can also be comfortable to the limit.

It's just that he seems to think too well of all this, and overestimate his role.

"You take refuge in us? What's the use of us using you? Lieutenant General Zhu Yimin asked with a sneer.

"General, I am the President of the Republic of the Philippines, and I have a lot of influence in the Philippines. If I had intervened, the Filipinos would not have opposed the rule of the Chinese Empire. Quezon had a flattering smile on his face and tried his best to prove that he was useful and could be a qualified lackey. It's just that no matter how hard he tries to prove himself, the initiative is in vain.

"Quezon, don't waste your time, the Empire won't want a lackey like you. To tell you the truth, the empire has no intention of keeping the Republic of the Philippines alive at all. Lieutenant General Zhu Yimin said.

"What? Are you here to destroy the Republic of the Philippines? Quezon and the high-ranking officials of the Republic of the Philippines were all pale in the face. If the Chinese Empire is determined to destroy the Republic of the Philippines, then they have no chance at all.

"Yes, from now on, the Republic of the Philippines will cease to exist. Some were only the colonies of Luzon under the jurisdiction of the Chinese Empire. The Philippines will no longer be a country, but a colony of the Chinese Empire. Therefore, you garbage, the empire will naturally not keep it. Lieutenant General Zhu Yimin's face was full of smiles. For the empire, colonial rule in the Philippines was undoubtedly a very good result. In this way, the empire will be able to squeeze the Philippines with all its strength and plunder the various resources and wealth of the Philippines. As for the life or death of those indigenous Filipinos, no one cares at all.

"No, you can't. If you do, all the Filipinos will rise up against you. President Quezon yelled. He knew that if the Chinese Empire insisted on colonizing the Republic of the Philippines, they would really have no effect at all. In the end, I'm afraid, it will be all eliminated?

"Huh? Rebel against us? That's a real deal. We wish that all Filipinos would rise up against us. In that case, we'll have enough reason to kill them all. Lieutenant General Zhu Yimin said with a smile.

Suddenly, Quezon and the others couldn't help but shudder. The current Philippines has 15 million people, and if they are all killed, the entire Philippines will have to shed blood.

"Devil, you are all devils!" President Quezon yelled.

"Come on, take these guys out, and then shoot them in front of all the Chinese." Lieutenant General Zhu Yimin ordered.

Subsequently, the wolf-like guards dragged Philippine President Quezon and those senior government officials out like dead dogs. Despite their desperate shouting and insults, it was useless. If the resistance is fierce, there will be several rifle butts.

Half an hour later, on the square in front of the Philippine presidential palace, all the high-ranking officials, including Quezon, the president of the Philippine Republic, were shot. The onlookers all applauded in unison. You know, in the Philippines, they have been bullied by these guys. Now that the Philippines has been occupied by the Empire, they can finally raise their eyebrows and be angry anymore.

During the subsequent occupation of the Philippines, the Empire began to recruit officials and police officers from among the local Chinese, as well as to form armed police forces to consolidate the Empire's rule in the Philippines and suppress the resistance of the Filipinos. In order to increase the number of Chinese, the empire even emigrated more than four million people from the country. In addition, the empire also sent two infantry divisions from the Kingdom of Fuso to take charge of the security of the Luzon colony. Those Fusang troops were already ruthless, and they were even more merciless in killing the rebels.

A large number of industrial enterprises of the empire have entered the Philippines and have begun to exploit various mineral resources in the Philippines in a predatory manner, completely disregarding the ecological environment and the consequences. Even if the Empire abandoned its colonization of Luzon in the future, it would never be restored.

After defeating the main force of the US-Filipino coalition and occupying the entire island of Luzon, the 16th Army of the Imperial Army and the armies of the vassal states began to attack the islands to the south with the support of the navy, gradually eliminating the Philippine troops located in these places. On these islands, the Philippine army still has 10 infantry divisions and more than 200,000 troops.

It's just that after the main force of the US-Philippine coalition has been wiped out, these Filipinos have no fighting spirit at all. So much so that in battle, they were constantly easily defeated by the Imperial Army and the vassal army*.

In less than a dozen days, the southern Philippines fell into the hands of the Empire and became part of the Imperial Luzon colony.

After taking the whole of the Philippines, the armies of the Empire* and the vassal states began to recuperate. During the month-long fighting, there were some attritions in the troops, which needed to be replenished. In particular, the Fuso Army fought very bravely, but its own casualties were not small. Some Fuso infantry divisions even suffered more than half of the casualties. However, the performance of the Fuso Army in this battle was also affirmed by the Empire. In this case, the sacrifice of those Fuso people is undoubtedly worth it.

After resting and replenishing, they will be involved in the next phase of the attack. In the future, the empire will launch an attack on Australia. The 16th Army of the Imperial Army, as well as the armies of the vassal states, still served as the main force.

While the Imperial Army and vassal armies were attacking the southern islands of the Philippines, Lieutenant General MacArthur and Major General Christie finally landed in Darwin, Australia. The submarine they were on was almost discovered several times by destroyers or cruisers of the Imperial Navy along the way. Therefore, Lieutenant General MacArthur's journey this time can be described as a life of nine deaths.

Of course, as the saying goes, there must be a blessing if you don't die in a great disaster, and Lieutenant General MacArthur and Major General Christie had just come ashore in Darwin when they received a telegram from the US War Department. In the cable, the U.S. government officially appointed Lieutenant General MacArthur as commander-in-chief of the Allied South Pacific Theater, while Major General Christie was appointed chief of staff. They were solely responsible for commanding the Allied forces in the South Pacific against the Chinese Empire.

MacArthur's military rank was also officially promoted to four-star general, and Major General Christie was also promoted to lieutenant general.

Such a thing, if it were placed in the Empire, would undoubtedly never happen. A general who lost a large part of his territory and hundreds of thousands of troops was not only not punished, but was promoted. (To be continued.) )
