1855 United States Tycoon

Although it seems that the United States soldiers are trying very hard to stop those Filipinos from committing atrocities, the number of United States soldiers is too small to control the thousands of native Filipinos. As a result, almost all the Spanish civilians, From the elderly to the children, they were all slaughtered by the barbarians. In the end, Sergeant George took out his gun and overturned a few barbarians, almost causing a conflict between those barbarians and a dozen American soldiers. Finally, a limited number of civilians were saved. And while the United States soldiers were working hard to protect the few Spanish civilians who were lucky enough to survive, the barbarians did another thing that the United States soldiers could not bear. They began to use the machete provided to them by the United States to chop off the heads of the Spaniards who had been killed, whether they were soldiers or civilians, whether they were men or women or even children.

Although in the not-so-distant past, United States people often did things like scalping Indians, but now they see Filipinos slashing Spanish heads, they find it unbearable. Yes, people from United States have also done things to chop the heads of barbarians. For example, the head of the barbaric head of the Indian tribe who helped the immigrants on the Mayflower was chopped off by the civilized people on the Mayflower. , Hung on the flagpole in the port to dry. As for the Spaniards, the slaughter of natives is unparalleled. But... But it's all civilized people slaughtering barbarians, and civilized people chopped off barbarians' heads. Isn't this normal? A civilized man has a sword, and a barbarian has a head. Shouldn't this duty be fulfilled? But on the other hand, the barbarians take a knife and chop the heads of civilized people, even if these barbarians are the barbarians on our side, and the civilized people are the civilized people on their side. In the eyes of civilized people, it is still unbearable.

...

"... But to be honest, the emergence of such a story is really a very good thing for civilized United States people. It has played a very good role. Grey Stone, you know the good effect is What?" Looking at the report about the atrocities of "our Philippine ally", Scrooge said to Greystone.

"Dad, maybe it will help us to persuade the Spaniards to surrender?" Grey Stone replied.

"This is one point." Scrooge replied, "and it is not a very important point." In Scrooge's view, allowing the Spaniards to surrender early is indeed a good thing for the United States and the US military, but for the consortium, it is not. Come on.

"Grey Stone, you think, our penetration of the Philippines is not comparable to our penetration of Cuba. So even if Cuba is independent, the one who will rule Cuba at that time will be our agent. But this is not the case in the Philippines. And it is. The Filipinos are not civilized enough. Even if they are allowed to act as agents for us, they will not do well. Therefore, for a long period of time, we all need the United States government to directly rule the Philippines. Of course, this will definitely allow We turned our faces with those Filipinos. We need a noble reason to directly rule the Philippines. This news is just one. We can publicize that the Filipinos are not civilized enough and cannot govern themselves, so we need our guidance.

In addition, in the future, if the consortium develops in the Philippines, it is clear that there will be some conflicts with the Filipinos. Portray them as brutal in advance, and when we need to take tough measures against those Filipinos, we won't raise questions and criticisms. Okay, Grey Stone, you should know how to do it. "

Having said this, Scrooge waved his hand, indicating that Grey Stone could go to his work.

...

The next day, the New York Times published such a news titled "The Barbarians on Our Side" on the front page of the newspaper. A detailed description of the slaughter of the Spaniards by the barbaric Filipinos, especially the Spanish civilians. And their barbaric culture as a headhunter. It is also accompanied by pictures that make people feel terrifying and disgusting. For example, a small Loli with white teeth showing high in his hand is holding a small Loli who looks less than ten years old and whose eyes are open in horror. The Philippine barbarian who was still dripping with blood smirked at the camera. It is said that many people vomited directly when they saw this photo.

After describing the atrocities of the Filipino savages, the New York Times asked this question:

"During the centuries when the Spanish ruled the Philippines, the Spanish launched numerous massacres against these indigenous people. Therefore, the hatred between the indigenous Filipinos and the Spanish is very deep. Nowadays, the Spanish rule has frequently collapsed. So these indigenous people feel that it is time for them to take revenge. Such revenge is a very normal thing for the indigenous people. However, we can really let them do this and say with peace of mind,'she shed this person’s blood,' Isn’t it my fault? Looking into the eyes of the dead girl in the photo, who can we say such a thing? If now we let these indigenous people who hate the Spaniards kill them into those cities , What kind of results will it bring? Every one of us can think of it as long as we have a brain! Once we let these people enter Bacolod or even Manila like this, then I’m sure, even if we take the entire Pacific Ocean Used as a golden basin, it will definitely not clean the blood stains on our hands.

I know that our forces in the Far East are not rich. Under normal circumstances, arming the Filipinos and letting them seize the city by themselves may be the best choice tactically. But out of humanitarian considerations, I hope our army can keep those Filipinos hated by comics out of the city as much as possible. Now we must not give these cities to them, nor should we even allow them to be as independent as Cuba, because it is irresponsible to do so. Only when they are civilized and civilized under our education can we consider letting them gradually achieve independence...Teach them to make them civilized as soon as possible. This is also our America’s Sacred mission..."

...

This kind of news, naturally, the Spaniards trapped in the city of the Philippines also knew. Because in the Far East, the Spaniards can also rent radio stations in the colonies of other countries nearby to communicate with the Spaniards trapped in the Philippines. The New York Times published such content, and the Spaniards naturally knew it, and then such information was transmitted to the Spaniards who were still fighting in the Philippines and the US military. So, as Greystone predicted, the Spaniards found the American army, and they proposed. If the U.S. military promises to never let those barbarians enter the city and to ensure the safety of the Spaniards’ lives and property, they are willing to surrender to the United States.
