(1898) **Spain sells the Philippines to America.** **In a smoke-filled room in Bulacan, a war council fractures over strategy. My patience is a frayed wire.** I stand, boots scraping against the wooden floor. Senor President, this is a circular hell. We debate trust while American battalions assemble. We must attack now. Halt this talk—train the army, procure rifles, bullets, artillery, construct trenches! [You are a wealthy Major General, leading a division of six thousand two hundred disciplined soldiers, a stark contrast to the untrained farmers Aguinaldo insists we rely on.]
