Chapter 345 Joint Statement

There are about tens of thousands of local troops in Liangguang, especially about 15,000 troops stationed in the border area with Annam, and in addition to guarding the frontier, these people also have the purpose of maintaining law and order here. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Because the territory of Liangguang has expanded a lot like the traditional territory of Annam, and a large number of immigrants have migrated in, they must need protection, these people are refugees from the war and disasters in the north, and they are reclaiming wasteland here, living and working in peace and contentment, as the organizer, he must protect the people.

Of course, if it weren't for Zhou Yang's advice to him, he might not have expanded to Annan, after all, the Ming Dynasty is a big country, and it would be a little inauthentic to use troops against his own state, and he was finally able to agree to his decision under Zhou Yang's guidance.

This is a good start, after all, in Zhou Yang's opinion, it is very good for Shen Youlong to have such an idea as a nerd.

Although there was also a war within Annan, they were obviously aware of the Dutch attack, so both sides sent a figure like Shen Yulong to ask for help, asking them to send troops to help them fight the Dutch, and at the same time help them destroy each other.

It is impossible to help any of them, even if Shen Yulong doesn't know how to use troops, he knows that it is impossible to help them at this time, if Annan is kept at peace, then he will be in great trouble.

Not to mention the internal stability of Annan, seeing that the Ming Dynasty was fighting with the Manchu Qing Dynasty, they would not have the slightest idea, there would definitely be, first they would take back those lost lands, and then take the opportunity to occupy part of the Ming Dynasty's land, which they have done in history.

Therefore, if Shen Youlong is not confused, he will definitely not send troops, not to mention that sending troops is equivalent to weakening the attack on the Manchus, he dare not think about the consequences, now the deployment of troops in the two Guangxi must be agreed by the Australians, and the two sides can only decide after unifying their opinions.

If you want to defeat the Manchu attack in the south, you must hold on to the Australians, this is something that must be done, and the problem now is that there is a war going on at the front, as the Liangguang government, which is mainly responsible for the rear, should try to ensure that the materials at the front are in place, this is true, and more troops must not be transferred here.

However, the Australians also gave an explanation for the situation they raised, that is, they jointly issued a statement condemning the actions of the Dutch, hoping that they would withdraw their troops as soon as possible to avoid war between the two countries.

It is said that the war is going, in fact, Van Dimen knows that there is no war at all, not to mention anything else, it is a little impossible for the Australian troops to be transferred back to fight immediately, and when they come back, they will also gain a firm foothold here, so Van Dimen does not pay much attention to this joint statement at all, in his opinion it is just a dead letter.

It is true that your warnings are useless at this time, force is the ultimate solution to the problem, and the most important thing is that your force value is high.

In the previous crises, the Australians showed strong deterrence of force before the Dutch finally gave up.

Although the joint statement was useless, the Spaniards, who were unaware of the situation, followed suit, saying that if Australia wanted to attack Batavia, the Netherlands, they would be the first to send troops.

The Spaniards can be said to have a very deep grudge against the Dutch, and no one hates them more than them, although on the surface everyone is still an ally, but in fact there is a discord in the heart, and the friendship on the surface is only for outsiders to see.

At this time, the Australians naturally won't say anything, and they still have to attack the Dutch, which makes them join in the fun.

Of course, the Dutch are not vegetarians, he is afraid of the Australians, it does not mean that they are afraid of the Spaniards, and even in order to retaliate for their actions, they directly sent two warships on their territory to consider, which means obviously, you have nothing to do, this has nothing to do with you, it is better to take care of your own affairs.

After all, the Spaniards have also caused a lot of trouble in Europe, and it is not so easy to reconcile with them.

The Dutch fought more fiercely between Europe and Spain, and if it weren't for Australia, I am afraid they would not have come together, and it is very likely that continuing to fight will be their final outcome.

The Spaniards were bullied like this, and Australia naturally couldn't watch it, and then issued a statement, hoping that the Dutch would respect the joint treaty and not make mistakes, otherwise it would be a deliberate tear of the treaty, which would have very serious consequences.

Van Dimen naturally knows what the consequences of this will be, and he will naturally not tear up the treaty so easily, after all, he obviously does not have the capital to face the forces of Australia, Spain and Portugal at the same time, and Daming may also be involved, so they said that it was not an act against Australia.

However, in order to make the Dutch not so arrogant, Australia secretly sold a batch of weapons to Spain, so that they had the strength to compete with the Dutch, so that Australia could fight the Manchus on the front line with peace of mind, and there was no need to worry about a fire in the backyard.

As long as Spain and the Dutch are in a hostile situation, Australia does not have to worry too much about its overseas territory, after all, no matter how weak Spain's strength is, it will not be able to resist the Netherlands for a while.

Selling weapons to them will allow Spain to contain the Netherlands and not cause trouble for Australia in the future, so they will do this.

Although the sale of weapons to them will greatly increase Spain's power to a certain extent, and may also become a threat to Australia's future, as long as the balance is maintained, it should not be a problem.

It is impossible for the Dutch not to know about the Australian people's practices, their spies are very, very powerful, and they are definitely capable of knowing the situation in this case.

But Australia is not worried that they know, that is, let them know that Australia can deal with you without taking action itself, if you are disobedient, then let the people who want to deal with you take action.

In this case, the Dutch actually put it bluntly, there is really no good way to solve it, after all, for them, weapons are indeed not as powerful as the Australians, if you want to fight in the European theater, you have to need their weapons, otherwise once you get into a stalemate, the supply of weapons will definitely be cut off.

So Van Dimen also knows the measure, once the local blame is down, he, the governor, can be regarded as the head, no matter how much land he has conquered for the Netherlands, it is useless, after all, the local is their foundation, and there is absolutely no room for loss.
