Chapter 689 Angels and Demons (Third update, please subscribe)
"They should learn to cherish everything here!"

After a period of investigation, Ambassador Anderson came to such a conclusion.

Of course, this conclusion is definitely not made because Nanyang has the atomic bomb, but the result of seeking truth from facts.

Yes, as a joint inspection team, of course they have to be realistic.

"I really don't know what those guys are thinking. Do they want to live in a slum like those in Manila, with their wives and daughters reduced to maids, and make a living by selling their bodies to American soldiers?"

Although during this period of inspection, Anderson also heard occasional dissatisfaction from people, but in his opinion, this was simply unreasonable.

"Maybe I gave them too many things!"

Snyder said.

"Mr. Ambassador, all children here must receive six years of compulsory education. Not only that, they not only have their own schools, but they even have free food. Do you believe it? This is the Philippines! But even so, they still Very dissatisfied!”

They are afraid of comparison in many things. When they get here, they can't help but compare this place with Manila. Without comparison, there will be no harm.

Anderson nodded.

"I think the presence of Zamboanga is, at least to a certain extent, a warning and a constraint to the authorities in Manila."

Andre looked out the window, looking at the city lit by neon lights and street lights outside the window, and he said softly.

"Yes, there is a saying in China that goes, "If the human heart is not enough, the snake will swallow the elephant." Everything comes down to the fact that their life is too good."

Andre asked rhetorically.

Snyder thought for a moment and said.

"However, it seems that the only ones who are dissatisfied are those Moros. On the contrary, other Filipinos are very satisfied with Zamboanga."

"Actually, if possible, I hope they can set their sights further and set their sights on Manila, not just Mindanao."

"So our position is to support their autonomy?"

Anderson shrugged his shoulders and said.

"Yes."

"Yes,"

During past inspections, they found that only some people were dissatisfied with the authorities.

After a simple comparison, they broke through the defense because - compared with here, Manila's greed has become even more unacceptable.

On this point, Snyder and his colleagues have the same position. Unlike those officials in Washington, diplomats like Andre who are abroad know clearly who they should support.

"My suggestion is that we need to express our dissatisfaction to Manila. We are too indulgent to them. If I have a choice, I would prefer Zamboanga to be an ally of the United States rather than those guys in Manila."

"So do you think they are Huks?"

"It doesn't matter whether they are "Hook elements" or not. What is important is that without the efforts of the Zamboanga authorities, this place would probably fall into chaos like Luzon. For the United States, this is undoubtedly extremely detrimental, and... …”

"Yes, Mr. Ambassador, those Moros used to be hostile to the Spaniards, the Americans, and the Filipinos. Now they are also hostile to the Tang people. For them, the only hope is to Both the Filipinos and the Tang people are driven out of here. Only in this way will they be satisfied."

As an intelligence officer, Snyder had some knowledge of Moro nature. Those people were never satisfied with the rule of others.

"Major, then your suggestion is...to support Zamboanga?"

Snyder said, lighting a cigarette.

"But some things cannot be changed, such as Filipinos, such as Tang people, they... are just like white people and black people, they may live together, but in the end, white people are white people and black people are still black people."

Regarding Snyder's conclusion, Anderson nodded without comment and then said.

“So, who’s white and who’s black?”

"Does it matter?"

Snyder asked rhetorically.

"The important thing is that they are on the side of the United States."

……

"Standing, this is the most important thing!"

In Zhao Chenggang's office, An Wenkai lit a cigarette and said. "For the United States, what matters is not the Filipinos or the Tang people, but who is on their side. What they need are allies, not enemies."

After taking a puff of cigarette, An Wenkai said slowly.

"And Americans have always been very dissatisfied with the Manila authorities. In comparison, Zamboanga...is more likely to arouse the goodwill of the United States."

After listening to the ambassador's words, Zhao Chenggang said.

"However, for the goodwill of the Americans, we stopped cleaning up those people. Originally, we could reduce their threats to a minimum, but now? A few months later, we are releasing them."

When he mentioned the Moros, Zhao Chenggang frowned. In the past few years, through contact with the Moros, he clearly realized what the biggest threat to Zamboanga was, and it was by no means population. There are more Luzon people. Compared to the extremely xenophobic Moros, the Luzon people are as docile as sheep.

"So what?"

An Wenkai looked at Zhao Chenggang and said.

"Times are different now. If it were a few decades ago, we could throw them all into the sea. The Sulu Sea is deep and big enough, and there would only be hundreds of thousands of people. But now, some things can be done, but they cannot be done openly. Do... so we have to trust the science now,"

An Wenkai raised the corners of his mouth and said.

"The power of science is very powerful."

"Is it the red oil?"

Zhao Chenggang asked.

"Does it really work?"

What is the red oil in Zhao Chenggang's mouth?
In fact, it is just a common vegetable oil-cottonseed oil.

"Whether it is useful or not is just waste recycling. After all, Nanyang imports millions of tons of seed cotton from the United States every year. There are hundreds of thousands of tons of cotton seeds every year. In addition to stripping cotton linters, cottonseed oil extraction always needs to be utilized. "

An Wenkai said after taking a puff of cigarette.

"So, in the name of aid, provide it to their schools and canteens. This can be considered a blessing!"

Blessings... Such blessings would be great for them!
Isn't it nice to them? Good things that I don't even use are provided to them for free, so that the blessings can be found there.

Zhao Chenggang said with some uncertainty.

"Is this really a blessing?"

"This blessing is a long process."

In fact, it is not long at all, it only takes a few months to choose. According to tests by medical institutions, the more serious impact of cottonseed oil on people is the impact on the reproductive system. It can cause irreversible damage in just a few months. .

Of course, this research is unknown, but it is definitely within the scope of science, and it can fundamentally solve some problems.

An Wenkai still admires the power of science, which can solve some problems without bloodshed. By the time others realize it, or after research has discovered it, everything will be irreversible.

It might only take a few months, maybe a few years. Fundamental changes will occur in the future, and those hidden dangers will perish on their own in the next few decades. No, not perish, but disappear.

After all, times have changed, and it is best for some people and things to slowly disappear into history.

This quiet handling method is in line with the progress of the times. Maybe one day, everything will be exposed, but at that time, only one sentence is needed - bad things are done with good intentions, but the original intention is good.

"Speaking of it, just like Mindanao, our layout here is also long-term. We need to make long-term plans. The first step is... a high degree of autonomy. In this name, we will win the recognition of the Americans, and then we will gradually develop it. , in short, what my family means is...to be patient and take it step by step."

Then, An Wenkai said.

"Now we have only achieved the second step. The realization of this step... has little to do with the atomic bomb. The atomic bomb just accelerated."

As a diplomat, An Wenkai can understand the change in the diplomatic atmosphere after the possession of atomic bombs in Nanyang.

Including Americans... their positions have also changed. Before this, they still had many concerns.

But after Nanyang possessed the atomic bomb, the Philippines took the initiative to retreat, and the United States' concerns were dispelled.

Sometimes the world is so wonderful, and one variable can change everything.

"And all we need is to seize the opportunity."

While feeling emotional, An Wenkai couldn't help but be curious as he thought of Your Excellency who was visiting the UK - how would those British politicians react to Nanyang possessing an atomic bomb?
