The huge noise in Manila had already alarmed the Spaniards living in Santiago Castle. They were old colonists who had ruled the area for more than 300 years. The Governor's Office quickly figured out the situation.

Then, he was helpless.

Because the Governor was not in Manila, he took a group of senior officials to Cebu for vacation, and by the way, he welcomed the Marquis of Mykel Hernandez, a great nobleman from the Spanish palace from Europe. The Marquis was the queen's younger brother and had an unquestionable influence on the Spanish royal family.

Therefore, the Governor and a group of senior officials went to flatter.

Not just a senior official of the Governor's Office, but both the commanders of the colonial land and navy forces have gone, and the two most promising light cruisers in Manila have also gone together. It is estimated that they have not arrived in Cebu Island yet.

Cebu Island is the island where the Spanish first landed. It is famous for its beautiful blue sea and silver sand scenery, with excellent scenery. In 1532, the Spanish came to the island, which has the oldest Spanish castle.

The highest commander who stayed in San Diego Castle was a lieutenant colonel, but he was just an officer in charge of logistics and had never dealt with such a major event.

The Spanish Kingdom had long been corrupt and declining, and corruption was rampant. A group of nobles were flattering the royal family, and chaos arose, and no one did anything truly meaningful.

This is almost a daily landscape in the Doomsday Empire, and the same confusion also exists in the Governor's Office of the Western Philippines, leading to mutual veto and watching the situation deteriorate step by step.

In the eyes of middle and lower-level officials;

Anyway, this is the responsibility of the Governor, well... we have no right to make a decision, so we can only report it as soon as possible.

As for the time being, it's nothing to do with me.

The only thing Santiago Castle does is to close the city gates and allow the demonstrations on the streets of Manila to become increasingly popular. As noon approaches, 20,000 to 30,000 people gradually gathered, and the slogans of the demonstration resounded throughout the sky.

There are very few real Oceanic citizens among the protesters. Many of them are local Chinese, or employees and crew members from the business bank, who are forced to stand up and make a big splash by their bosses. Some street gangsters and unemployed people are mingling among them. That is purely a rioter who is not afraid of big things.

Standing on the high city gate

Captain Perez put his right hand on the cowhide pistol holster, and held the wall with his left hand and looked down. He saw the black parade shouting loudly, all kinds of noises were everywhere, and he couldn't hear anything clearly.

A strong sense of superiority appeared in his heart. He inadvertently looked at the Spanish soldiers carrying live ammunition on the city wall, and pointed the black muzzle directly at the parade.

Let's make a fuss, a group of dirty mice will naturally calm down when they get tired of making trouble.

The sturdy Santiago Castle gave Captain Perez plenty of confidence. As long as the city gate is closed, it will be another peaceful and peaceful world.

Captain Perez arrived on Luzon Island with the army in 1896. He has been here for the third year. He has been used to the local people's resistance and uprisings, and the parade is even more of a piece of cake.

Spain implemented a backward large manor system in the Philippines. They plundered Filipino resources crazily while the Filipinos resisted, and carried out bloody suppression.

The resistance on Luzon was growing, and the voices of seeking independence were growing. Finally, in 1896, a vigorous anti-colonial war broke out.

At that time, the number of soldiers stationed in the Philippines was not large because they were used to the armed uprising in the Philippines and subconsciously felt that it was a group of native people fighting and making small fuss.

However, the scale of this uprising exceeded the Spanish's imagination. The strength of the Philippine uprising army continued to grow. Most of the Spanish troops stationed in the Philippines were Filipinos, with only more than 1,000 Spanish people, so there was no strength at all when the suppression was suppressed.

When the Spanish Governor General's Office realized this problem, the Philippine uprising army had a difficult time. Spain quickly sent nearly 30,000 soldiers and advanced weapons from the country to suppress the rebels, which caused great losses to the backward weapons and were constantly hit hard, and eventually failed the uprising.

The Philippine rebels fled into the tropical jungle in Aquinado and disappeared.

The Spanish army returned to Korea with great victory, leaving only a small number of troops still stationed on Luzon Island, leaving two infantry regiments, one of which was the Royal California rifle regiment to Captain Perez.

It's so boring!

Captain Perez stretched lazily, and was about to go down to have a cup of coffee to cheer up when he vaguely heard a Spanish vocal; "Soldiers, open fire."

Because the sound was extremely noisy, he didn't hear it clearly.

Then a crisp gunshot sounded, and the Spanish soldiers standing on the top of the city immediately opened fire like a parade crowd, and the gunshots resounded.

In this noisy environment, the soldiers could not hear the commander's orders clearly. Since someone fired, the soldiers subconsciously fired and fired volleyballs that resounded through the sky.

As the gunfire sounded, the parades on the street were knocked down by whistling bullets, blood flowers bloomed on their bodies, and red blood flowed out, and the street instantly turned into a Shura field.

The gunshots caused great panic among the marching people. They fled in panic, squeezed and trampled, causing more casualties and wailings.

"Stop shooting, damn... stop shooting for me." Captain Perez's voice was heard only by a few soldiers nearby. They put down their guns in a daze, while the Spanish soldiers in the distance were still loading the bullets and then shooting.

Captain Perez had to pull out the revolver at his waist, fired three shots into the sky, and shouted loudly; "Stop shooting, damn idiots, who told you to shoot?"

No one answered...

Spanish soldiers don't care about this. There are noises everywhere on this damn city wall. Who can listen to the order?

Anyway, someone just shoots.

Captain Perez was so angry that as the highest military commander of the city wall, he did not give any orders to shoot, but it was too late to say anything now.

He looked back with some anger and couldn't help but frown.

There were dead and injured pillows on the streets, and there was a strong smell of blood and loud wails in the air, which was really like a Shura field.

More than 160 soldiers on the top of the city fired fire. Some fired two or three bullets, and some fired five or six bullets. They didn't need to aim at the dense crowd on the street, one shot was accurate.

Just a brief look

There were no less than three or four casualties, and there were no more casualties from squeezing and trampling along the way.

Captain Perez felt a little disappointed when he saw this. He didn't care about the casualties of the local natives. No matter how many of the rats died, it would be fine. The key was that he was afraid of hurting the citizens of the Ocean Kingdom, which would be terrible.

The Ocean Kingdom is a regional overlord in the entire Western Pacific region. It has always been known for its tough policies and aggressiveness. Except for the Russians and Spaniards who did not fight, they almost fought in this circle.

Ordinary colonial countries around him don’t want to provoke him, so they really can’t afford to provoke him!

The first time after the "San Diego Massacre" occurred, it was transmitted to the mainland of the Ocean Kingdom through trans-ocean radio waves, which immediately caused a huge shock to the entire society and was excited.

The news spread all over the world, causing an uproar.

In the "San Diego Massacre", a total of 371 people were killed and injured, of which 87 were killed and the rest were injured.

Among the 87 people who died, three citizens of the Ocean Kingdom, including Wan Jiaben, vice president of the Philippine Chamber of Commerce. They stood in the crowd and were accidentally shot into the eye socket and died immediately.

The remaining two were trampled to death, which was the mother and son. The timid young mother held her child and watched the fun behind the demonstration crowd. After the gunshots, the demonstrators exploded, and the surging crowds squeezed and stepped on them...

In his public speech, the angry king of the Ocean Kingdom, Li Fushou made a loud voice: "If you pay blood debts and blood, those who violate our Ocean Kingdom will be punished even if they are far away."

On February 6, 1898, the Ocean Kingdom officially declared war on Spain, and a third-level mobilization was carried out in China.

The so-called third-level mobilization means that basic militias who have just retired for less than three years will register at the relevant departments of the city and town, and plan to arrange concentrated military recovery training four days a month, waiting for arrangements by superiors.

Judging from the number of soldiers who have been discharged from the Ocean Kingdom in recent years, the total number of these retired militias is about 90,000, which is a powerful force that cannot be underestimated.

at the same time

The recruitment of 22,000 people will be expanded in the new year. After more than four months of military training, these recruits will be used to supplement the six B-class divisions in China for subsequent reinforcements.

The situation changed so quickly, regardless of whether it was the Spanish Governor's Office and the two military and political officials on Cebu Island were stunned and completely confused.

The incident was completely beyond the power of the Spanish Governor's Office, and the latest instructions from the Kingdom of Spain did not arrive, and they did not know what to do.

Washington, Admiralty

"Damn, damn, damn Ocean Kingdom, and that damn dictator, how could it be like this?" Assistant Secretary of the Navy Roosevelt was so angry that his emotional reaction was more intense than that of the Spanish.

The reason is very simple;

The "Gate" project led by the Admiralty has entered a critical period. The second-class battleship "Maine" arrived at the port of Havana on January 25 and officially paid a friendly visit to Cuba.

According to the plan, firecrackers will explode on February 15.

The Army Department of Citi's domestic country has begun to mobilize on a large scale, with the total number of militia recruited to reach more than 55,000. A large number of militia will come to report in the future, and the arrows have to be fired.

Roosevelt's own resignation report has been handed over and placed on the White House desk.

As a lofty social elite, Roosevelt was preparing to resign and then paid for the Volunteer Cavalry Corps out of his own pocket to join the war, hoping to leave his own heroic mark on this stage of expanding territory.

In order to prepare a large amount of funds, he has sold two manors, some shops and land. Now the money is in the account of Citibank, and he can withdraw it at any time to buy weapons and equipment to fight the battlefield.

At this time, Cheng Yaojin came out, and the Ocean Kingdom actually declared war on Spain first.

Damn it!

Roosevelt was so hung up that he was old blood squirting out. You declared war, what should I do?
