Chapter 184 "The Ryukyu Islands declare independence" first update

"Use us? Humph...are we that easy to use? Besides, even if there were no Japanese, we would definitely go to war with China."

"We in the Philippines will not be the puppets of the Japanese, and they will never use us."

"The time to start a war with China cannot be delayed any longer. We have reached an agreement with Vietnam and will immediately occupy the South China Sea in half a month. If we stop fighting for the South China Sea now, how will we explain to Vietnam? Such a treacherous thing

, once it happens, will Vietnam still form an alliance with us in the future?"

A group of Philippine congressmen said angrily.

"Everyone, now that the Japanese army has occupied the Babuyan Islands and Apali City, this is a declaration of war on us. Now is not the time for us to go to war with China for the South China Sea. The most important thing right now is to drive away the Japanese army, otherwise, we will

It will leave a big problem. So I propose that first

The time for war with China will be postponed. As for Vietnam, we can continue to mediate. I believe Vietnam will understand. After the Japanese army is driven away and the Babuyan Islands and Apali City are recovered, we can then negotiate with Vietnam.

Nan join forces with China to compete for control of the South China Sea."

Philippine Defense Secretary Trudeau said worriedly, analyzing the seriousness of the matter for the members of the meeting to consider carefully.

"Yes, Mr. President, immediately order an attack on the Japanese army. We cannot let them continue to be arrogant."

"Well, I also agree with the Minister of Defense's proposal that the Japanese troops should be driven away first and then consider whether to occupy the South China Sea."

"No, the occupation of the South China Sea must not be delayed any longer. I will never agree to this." Salon, the commander-in-chief of the Philippine Navy, said resolutely: "If it doesn't work, we can divide our troops into two groups, go all the way west to the South China Sea, and fight with the Vietnamese

The armies jointly launched an attack on China's South China Sea Fleet and occupied the South China Sea. The other route went east out of Luzon Island and drove the Japanese army out of Apali City and the Babuyan Islands."

"Salon, do you think our military can go to war against China and Japan at the same time?" Philippine Defense Secretary Tradoro scolded: "Although Vietnam has agreed to join us to launch an attack on the Chinese South China Sea Fleet and occupy the South China Sea.

, but you can guarantee that we can win

? Can you guarantee that Vietnam will really cooperate with us sincerely? Don’t forget, we also have territorial sea disputes with Vietnam. We want to take advantage of the chaos in the world to control more of the South China Sea, and the same is true for Vietnam. Even

Heavier than our ambitions."

"We just want to occupy several South China Seas in order to extend the Philippines' defense to the outer areas. But Vietnam wants to occupy the entire South China Sea, including the ones we have already occupied. Their ambitions cannot be underestimated."

"Moreover, if we go to war with China and Japan at the same time, the result will definitely be a defeat that cannot be defeated again."

"We have no chance of winning just by starting a war with either China or Japan. Excuse me, what can we do to start a war with China and Japan at the same time? Therefore, I still insist on my concept. It is not appropriate to start a war with China now. We must first

Drive the Japanese troops out of the Philippines and take a long-term approach."

"Mr. Secretary of Defense, don't forget that we still have the powerful backing of the United States. Now that the United States and Japan have gone to war, once we join forces with Vietnam and start a war against China and Japan at the same time, the United States will definitely help us. With the United States,

With help, what else do we have to be afraid of?" Saren said with a righteous expression, staring at the Minister of Defense, Tradolo, with a look of dissatisfaction in his eyes.

Tradolo expressed strong protest against Saren's opinion and said angrily: "Salen, I know everything you said, and all of us know it clearly. But please don't forget that now the United States

Our troops have been completely trapped in the Middle East, Central Asia, and Africa. They are being held back by the armies of Russia and these countries, and there is no way we can mobilize excess troops to support us."

"The U.S. Pacific Fleet has also been deployed to Guam and the Hawaiian Islands to prevent Japanese troops from attacking the United States. They cannot mobilize excess troops to support us. Under such circumstances, we still have to expect the United States to

Help us? Please think about it carefully, you said that the United States will help us, what will they use to help us? The army? Where is the army? Or is it just verbal support and help for us?"

Tradolo stared at Saren with deep eyes as he spoke, and said in a serious tone: "You know that the United States cannot mobilize troops to help us now, and you still want to incite us to start a war against China and Japan at the same time. This kind of behavior, knowing that we will definitely lose,

The ending was actually said by a naval commander like you, what are your intentions?"

"I..." Saren was speechless by what Trador said, and hesitantly said: "I...I just don't want to watch the South China Sea being taken back by China, let alone watch Yue

The south occupies the South China Sea.”

"As for what you said, it is not in my consideration at all, and I don't need to think about it. I have only one goal, and that is to control the South China Sea and extend our Philippine coastal defense to the periphery of the South China Sea. Only in this way, we will not

Under the aura of a powerful China, it has become a country of dwarfs who are always afraid."

"Nonsense." Terrador slapped the table and said angrily: "Your irresponsible vow to go to war with China will only lead the Philippines to a place of no return. A strong China, for us, is indeed

There is a threat, but it will not destroy the country. Since ancient times, when has China invaded our Philippines? Has it?"

"No, right? But have you forgotten Japan's invasion of the Philippines and Southeast Asia during World War II, and the war crimes it caused to Asia and the world?"

"Maybe you have forgotten! However, I have not forgotten, Mr. President has not forgotten, and the Filipino people, Asian people, and even the people of the world have not forgotten. Therefore, our biggest enemy right now is Japan, not China. We now want each other's

It’s not China, it’s Japan. It’s Japan, do you understand?”

"I..." Saren did not dare to look directly into Trador's eyes, turned his head to the side, and fell silent.

"Okay, don't say anything anymore." At this time, Philippine President Akiluo, who was sitting next to him, knocked on the table heavily and said meaningfully: "Mr. Secretary of Defense is right. My opinion is also to put it first."

The Japanese troops have to drive out of the Philippines and then consider whether to go to war with China. You should stop talking about it, I have made my decision."

As Achiluo said, he stood up and said in a solemn tone: "Mr. Minister of Defense, please pass on the order immediately. The troops stationed in Luzon Island will immediately launch an attack on the Japanese army. They must drive the Japanese army out of the Philippines."

"

"Okay." Tradolo nodded, glanced at Saren who was silent next to him, then turned around and walked out of the Presidential Palace.

After Tradoluo left, Aqiluo immediately said to Saren sincerely: "Salen, I understand your thoughts very much. However, we really can't go to war with China and Japan at the same time. Otherwise, we in the Philippines will

We will definitely face the crisis of national annihilation. At present, the Japanese army has occupied the Babuyan Islands and Apali City. If we do not take action, Japan will definitely continue to move north and occupy more of our land. What an outcome.

What do you want to see?”

"I think you definitely don't want to see such an outcome, right? A powerful China does pose a threat to us, but that is only a matter of the future. Now our biggest threat is Japan, so the whole country must unite

, launch an attack on the Japanese army. Only by driving the Japanese army out of the Philippines can we have the opportunity to compete with China in the South China Sea."

"If we abandon Japan's ambitions now and go to war with China when the United States cannot send troops to help us, then in the near future, our Philippines will cease to exist. Either it will be destroyed by Japan or it will be destroyed by China."

"I said this, do you understand?"

After Aqiluo finished speaking, he walked to Saren's side, patted Saren hard on the shoulder, and said in a solemn tone: "So, I hope you can change your thinking and understand the importance of this, and...

..”

"Mr. President, please stop talking." Before Aqiluo finished speaking, Saren stood up immediately, interrupted Aqiluo's words, and said with blood-red eyes: "Mr. President, I was impulsive. Yours

I understand the meaning and the Minister of Defense's intention. I will deploy the troops now and launch an attack on the Japanese army immediately." After saying this, without waiting for Achiluo to speak, he waved his hand and prepared to leave the presidential palace.

"Wait..." Aqiluo grabbed Saren and said meaningfully: "For the battle with the Japanese army, it is enough to have Mr. National Defense. Now I want to give you another task. You just have to carry it out.

That’s the task.”

"What mission?" Saren turned his head and looked at Aqiluo and asked doubtfully.

A strange smile appeared on Achiluo's lips, and he said coldly: "You will immediately transfer all the troops stationed in the north to Palawan Island and prepare to launch an attack on Indonesia."

"What?" Saren stared at Aqiluo with wide eyes in disbelief: "Attacking Indonesia? Mr. President, did I hear you right? Why should we attack Indonesia? Why?"

Aqiluo looked at the expression on Saren's face, then handed a piece of information to Saren's hand, and said with a smile: "You will understand after reading it! Go ahead and start the deployment immediately without making any mistakes."

Saren took the information handed over by Achiluo and read it carefully several times. Then he took a breath and said excitedly: "So that's it, that's it, hahahahaha..."

"I will start the deployment immediately. This is good, this is good! Hahaha..." He walked out of the Presidential Palace excitedly.

After Saren left, Aqiluo immediately announced the adjournment of the meeting and walked straight into a secret room in the Presidential Palace...

In the secret room, there is a mysterious visitor, waiting for Achiluo to report the news...

On the other side, on the Ryukyu Islands at this time, a major event that shocked the world was taking place. The Kuangshitang troops of the Blood Eagle Society led by Tie Yun launched a fierce attack on the Japanese army.

After three days and three nights of uninterrupted frenzied attacks, the Blood Eagle Club Kuangshido troops led by Tie Yun have captured all Japanese bases on the Ryukyu Islands. And after capturing all Japanese bases, Tie Yun

Then he rushed back to Naha Airport and had some discussions with Shang Qing.
