The Philippines has been quite busy in the South China Sea during this period. Firstly, they led the way for the US Japan group to conduct ultra standard military exercises on the edge of the South China Sea, and then organized the US Japan Philippines three countries to attempt a "law enforcement ship joint exercise" around the South China Sea, which has already been a real attack on the sovereignty of the South China Sea. Recently, the cost of Marcos luring wolves into the house has begun to highlight.

　　According to Reuters, there has been a sudden change in the senior leadership of the Philippine government, after acting Defense Minister Carlito Galvez, the leader of the pro American faction of the Philippine military, announced his resignation. The successor is Gilberto Teodoro, a representative figure of the older generation of pro American military.

　　After this appointment spread to China, some people began to say that Marcos wanted to be pro China again. With all due respect, let's not indulge in such fantasies. This appointment is actually quite problematic.

　　After the Philippines officially opened four new military bases to the United States, there was no turning back for the Philippines. After the opening of the base, the Philippine governor, who had been opposing intervention in the Sino US conflict, was shot dead at home.

　　This person is also one of the important contributors to Marcos' rise to power. The gunmen were all soldiers, still wearing military uniforms, and openly broke into the governor's house, directly cutting down the grass and eliminating the roots, leaving the entire family gone. In this case, Marcos didn't dare to say anything, because Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun came out of the barrel of a gun, so he had to shut up if he didn't want to die.

　　In fact, it is very simple. Compared to the previous Duterte, Marcos has no influence in the local area and no foundation in the military, and he cannot suppress the new military "leaders".

　　What is the "rank" of the outgoing Secretary of Defense this time? The retired General of the Philippine Army, the highest commander of the Philippine military. If Marcos dared to drive away such people, he would have no need to wait for the opening of military bases. As early as the United States made the request, it was directly rejected.

　　To put it bluntly, this is an internal "arrangement" within the pro American Philippine military, and it is not something that Marcos can manage at all. Who was that replaced? In 2007, Gilberto Teodoro, the former defense minister, was the youngest defense minister in the history of the History of the Philippines, a typical hawk in his early 60s.

　　In fact, there is a crucial point that Marcos cannot suppress the military. When Duterte stepped down, he actually gave Marcos a chance. That was the then Chief of Staff of the Philippines, Andreas Sentino, who was relatively more concerned with the national interests of the Philippines and slightly suppressed the pro US and anti China military forces.

　　As a result, Marcos distrusted Duterte and thought that Duterte wanted to control himself, so he replaced it with an anti Chinese Bartolome Baccaro. As soon as he ascended the throne, he began to engage in tricks and create disputes with China in the South China Sea.

　　At that time, the US military had not yet arrived, and Marcos was a bit flustered, afraid that he would really provoke China. Replace Bacaro. However, this time is already enough for the Philippine military to arrange.

　　The next thing everyone knows is that the Philippines has opened four military bases to the US military. At this point, the Philippines has led wolves into their homes and there is no turning back.

　　To be honest, even if it were a pro China policy, as many people had hoped, there would not be any significant changes in the current Philippine policy. Essentially, the current Philippine policy is to "bet" on the US in the Sino US conflict, bet that the US can win, and take a share of the South China Sea. Therefore, no matter who comes up, the Philippines will continue to play the game with us and cooperate with Made in USA for a long time in the future.

　　Even if he suddenly decides to change his strategy, the US military presence in the Philippines is destined for the United States to create a new "agent" to take office as soon as possible. To put it bluntly, at the moment when the Philippines decided to lure wolves into their homes, the situation was destined to spiral out of control and spiral out of control.
