March 17, 1898, Manila.
A fleet of merchant ships urgently docked at Manila Bay, and shortly after, the Spanish colonial army in the Philippines received their supplies there.
"Is today some important holiday? I can't imagine the homeland still thinks of us, the second-rate troops, and provides us with new weapons and supplies!" said Greslin in surprise as he moved military supplies on the Manila Bay dock.
He admired the brand new rifle in his hands: "This gun is a hundred percent new, with no signs of use. I just wonder if it's as good as my old Mauser rifle."
"Stop looking, a gun is just a killing tool. After using it for a few months, you'll probably get bored," said his comrade, Gorkas.
"Gorkas, don't dampen my enthusiasm. Switching to new gear is always a good thing. After all, we rely on our weapons in the Philippines, and the more advanced they are, the better they safeguard us. They're our most trusted companions," Greslin said.
