1855 United States Tycoon

While the Spaniards were still working hard to organize the expeditionary fleet, the war first fought in the Philippines in Asia. The United States Navy had long been prepared for the arrival of the war, so on the third day after the Caribbean Pearl incident, General Dewey left Hawaii with the United States Pacific Fleet to the Hong Kong pier under the name of ocean-going training. After staying in Hong Kong for a few days, Dewey received an order from the country, ordering him to immediately attack the Spanish-controlled Philippines.

Just as the Cubans have been resisting Spanish rule in various ways, the Filipinos have also constantly launched a struggle against the Spanish. It's just that the road to independence for the Filipinos is even more bumpy. In the original history, since 1896, the Filipinos have launched a great uprising against the Spanish. However, unlike Cuba, the Cuban uprising has always attracted the attention of the entire Western world, while the Filipino uprising is basically No one cares about it. Although the same were all uprisings against the colonists, and even the opposing colonists were Spanish, most of the insurgents in Cuba were native whites, while the insurgents in the Philippines were authentic natives. In the eyes of civilized people, indigenous people are just a kind of creatures between humans and monkeys. Whether they can be regarded as humans requires serious research and research. In this case, their political demands can naturally be ignored. After all, even if you sell cute and earth-shattering Billy, you can't get the right to vote, let alone those Filipino humanoids that are not cute at all compared with Billy?

However, humanoids are sometimes regarded as human beings. For example, now, because of the failure of the uprising, Aquinado, who was forced to go into exile in Hong Kong, is again regarded as human by the United States. Speaking of this Mr. Aquinado, he is also a very interesting person. Of course, this is a very gentleman's statement, and the less polite statement is: this product is a strange flower.

At the beginning of the Philippine Revolution, Mr. Aquinardo did not join in. Later, when the revolution, fate, shape, and momentum were in a good shape, Aquinardo, the big landlord, also joined in, relying on the financial and manpower in his hands. Become one of the important leaders. Later, Spain mobilized troops from the country to suppress the revolution, because the resistance of the Philippine humanoids did not receive as much aid as Cuba, and the indigenous people under the tropical rain forest climate conditions seemed to be generally weak. (Generally, In other words, these indigenous people belong to the chaotic and neutral camp, and they can’t fight for anything.) As a result, the insurgents suffered defeats. At this critical moment, this Mr. Aquinado initiated a coup within the insurgents, killing the military leader Bonifaxiu, who had rebelled first, and then ran to negotiate with the Spaniards. In the end, they also reached a very strange result: Spain paid 850,000 pesos to the Aguinaldo Group and agreed to implement the so-called administrative and legislative reforms. Aguinaldo promised to stop the armed struggle and go into exile. And called on other insurgents to surrender. Compared with the original history, because the Spaniards were eager to settle their uprisings to deal with the United States army that might come soon, the conditions for Aguinaldo were better, for example, the money given to him was more than in the original history. That's fifty thousand pesos. Of course, Mr. Aguinaldo surrendered more simply. In the original history, he did not surrender until December 1897. This time, because of the extra 50,000 pesos, Mr. Aguinaldo even said " "The Republic of the Philippines" didn't even bother to make it out. It directly surrendered in early November 1897, and then took the money given by the Spaniards and went to Hong Kong to spend a little life.

As soon as he arrived in Hong Kong, he was spotted by the people of United States, and the people from the Blackwater Company immediately got in touch with the goods. After contacting this guy, the representative sent by Scrooge once described the Philippine "revolutionary leader" to his own colleague:

"Although I have always claimed to be knowledgeable, but now I have to admit that I have never seen such a shameless person! I originally thought that this person was, no matter what, a revolutionary who uprised for a nation. ——You know, we have a lot of dealings with all kinds of revolutionaries. Generally speaking, although these people are various, some are shrewd, some are honest, but most of them have died for justice and axioms. Unsuitable courage. So although my contact with those people is only for the financial benefit of the company, I still have respect for those revolutionaries. If I can help them, I will actually be quite happy. However, this person is actually quite happy. It’s more despicable than any smelly mouse you can find in a gutter. He doesn’t care about anything except his personal and visible benefits. Seeing this person, I really believe in those people’s feelings. As it is said, it is that Filipinos are not actually humans, they can only be regarded as some kind of humanoids... But I also have to admit that it is absolutely reasonable for companies to support such people, because if this person is really in power, buy It’s absolutely unambiguous since starting a country. And such a guy has another great advantage, that is, buying a country can’t sell the price... But I also admit that as long as the money is dangling in front of him, he will I will become extra brave, and I won’t even be afraid of going to The Underworld..."

In short, Mr. Aguinaldo took Scrooge's money again, and then began to cooperate with Scrooge. This guy contacted a few Filipinos, published a "Declaration of Independence of the Philippines" in Hong Kong, and then became the president of the "Republic of the Philippines". By the way, he signed a series of agreements with representatives of MacDonald Ventures, bringing the Philippines’ A series of lands containing iron ore, copper ore, gold ore, molybdenum ore, etc. were packaged and sold to McDonald Venture Capital Bank for a symbolic price of US$20,000. In addition, it is said that Mr. Aguinaldo also signed a secret agreement with the United States, promising to give the U.S. military an internal response when the U.S. military conflicts with the Philippine insurgents in the future. Of course, a series of things is definitely more than 20,000 US dollars, and there are rumors that McDonald’s Venture Capital Bank actually paid half a million US dollars for this series of agreements.

After the arrival of General Dewey's fleet, Mr. Aguinaldo immediately got in touch with the United States Navy under the arrangement of the Macdonald Consortium, and boarded a US military ship, preparing to "liberate the Philippines" with the US military. At the same time, his party members also became active one after another, preparing to lead the way for the US army after the US army landed.
