Deploying a large-scale army for small-scale rebel forces is not cost-effective, but these small-scale rebel forces can cause great trouble to the Aricans ruling the Philippines.
Whether it is disrupting the lives of Aricans in the Philippines or destroying various facilities constructed by the United States in the Philippines, it can make Aricans exhausted and hard to defend.
More importantly, breaking the ard forces into groups can also reduce the danger to Manuel.
After all, in today’s Philippines, it is not easy to openly resist the United States.
The Aricans have stationed their army in the Philippines, and even a dog driven into desperation can jump over a wall, let alone the Aricans who are no better than dogs?
In addition to secretly forming anti-Arican ard forces, Sam also reached various agreents with Manuel, including a portion of weapon resources and diplomatic support for Manuel.
Sam promises to provide weaponry to Manuel, which includes a batch of rifles confiscated in European battlefields and so weapons phased out from the Larasian Indigenous army.
In total, there are over 100,000 rifles, 50 machine guns, 100 assorted and chaotic firearms, one ergency airship, and matching ammunition, shells, and so on.
These weapons and equipnt are not enough for any battlefield, but if they are only used to harass the Aricans and are limited to the Philippine region, they are actually sufficient.
At least it can allow Manuel to form a private ard force of more than 100,000 people, a number far beyond the size of the Arican garrison in the Philippines.
In fact, after the end of the military governnt in the Philippines, the United States withdrew most of its troops stationed in the Philippines.
The total number of U.S. troops in the Philippines will not exceed 2,000, and the actual number of army personnel will definitely not exceed 1,200, apart from so naval officers and soldiers.
This batch of weapons and equipnt is enough for Manuel to entangle with the Arican army for a long ti. But before the Aricans mobilize the main forces, it could even allow Manuel to gain an advantage in the Philippines.
In addition to this batch of weapons and equipnt, according to the agreent between Sam and Manuel, Manuel will form a team of over 500 students who will study in Larasia.
Among the 500 students are 200 political science students who are destined to be the main officials of the future Philippine Governnt and heavily influenced by Larasia.
Next, there are more than 200 students who will study at military academies. They will undergo three years of military education in Larasian military schools and eventually return to the Philippines to train the regular army for the new Philippine nation.
Of course, the training of the Philippine army by then will inevitably involve Larasia.
Under the influence of Larasia, these people will inherently lean towards Larasia when considering issues.
This is actually a common study-abroad strategy in later generations. By attracting students from less advanced countries and subtly influencing them, they are nurtured into talents friendly towards their own countries.
These high-quality talents with study-abroad experience, after returning to underdeveloped regions and countries, will be valued due to their personal experience, and gradually move to the upper echelons of the country.
Through long-term accumulation and influence, one can even control a nation by attracting a large number of students and turning the entire country’s governnt into a pro-governnt.
Such study-abroad policies are horrifying, but they are also inevitable in the rise of underdeveloped countries.
If a country wants to move from backwardness to prosperity, it has to learn advanced knowledge from outside, and the best way is to study abroad.
It is impossible for people abroad not to be influenced by other countries. Especially for Filipinos who have felt such a huge gap between themselves and others, it is natural for them to blindly worship more advanced countries.
Including students from other industries, these 500 students will spend 3 to 4 years studying in Australasia before returning to the Philippines to build a new governnt.
By that ti, the Philippines’ independence will have basically taken shape, and it will be ti to need more talents to build a new governnt and eliminate the United States’ influence on the country.
With these students, Australasia can also better control the Philippine governnt. In fact, there is no need to follow the United States’ example and strictly control the Philippine governnt.
Just by using these students and winning over so Philippine officials, even if the Philippines becos independent, they will still be under the control of Australasia.
Moreover, even an independent Philippines will have industries that are in dire need of revival.
Without Australasia’s support, the Philippines will struggle to survive in such an international environnt.
Even if there is no Australasia, there would be the United Kingdom, France, or even the resurgence of the United States.
In this era, it is almost impossible for a small country with a vast land to remain self-sufficient.
Even the seemingly developed Belgium, though declared a neutral country, was invaded by Germany, wasn’t it?
In this era, a country can only be completely independent from the world if it has strong military power or if it is a very poor country that doesn’t attract powerful nations.
Regrettably, although the Philippine area is not as large as that of big colonies, it has nearly 300,000 square kiloters of vast land, and it has a population of tens of millions, with a decent geographic location.
With so managent, it will beco a perfect marketplace for goods. Coupled with the various mineral resources it contains, the revenue it generates would be enormous.
Even though the Philippines is not as rich in mineral resources as Australasia, it is by no ans barren.
On the contrary, the Philippines has significant reserves of nickel, cobalt, gold, and copper, all of which rank in the top ten in the world in later generations.
Furthermore, the Philippines has a certain amount of petroleum reserves, and the value of mining can undoubtedly bring significant profits to the country that controls the Philippines.
Under such circumstances, the Philippines, unless it becos strong itself, will inevitably attract the envy of powerful countries and other nations.
It has been proven by the previous Spanish, the present Arican, and the future Australasia that the weak can only be the prey for the strong.

If only relying on civil officials like Manuel to develop the Philippines’ anti-Arican ard forces, regardless of the progress, such hastily ford ard forces will be deed unreliable.
In order to make the Philippines more troubleso to the United States, Australasia will also assist Manuel in forming ard forces, including dispatching professional instructors to conduct military training and teach them so simple tactics.
Australasia’s most commonly used large-scale firepower suppression has no fortune for the Philippines to enjoy, after all, this requires a trendous test of a country’s logistical prowess and the speed of military industry production.
Before World War I, Australasia stockpiled a vast amount of shells and only used them for a few firepower suppressions. Each ti, the number of shells consud reached millions, with an average daily consumption of over 200,000, showing the trendous logistical test of large-scale firepower suppression.
Considering the current situation of the Philippines, let alone using large-scale firepower suppression, it’s already quite impressive that the fragnted anti-Arican ard forces can mobilize artillery.
Even in general circumstances, most heavy weapons will be sealed off and only used after the Philippines forms a real military in the future.
After all, the purpose of the current arms is to harass the Arican troops and bases in the Philippines, not to completely defeat the Aricans.
