Chapter 323: Your Responsibility
It was Australia's responsibility to work together to deal with the eastward advance of Britain and France, and the Dutch said that in any case, as an ally of the Far East military alliance, Australia should take responsibility. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Let their eastward expansion strategy be stillborn. As for what to do, they have all figured out that as long as Australia reduces the number of arms exports directly to them, it will achieve the desired result, and it is possible to directly make them give up their illusions about the Far East.
Although the Dutch method is somewhat simple and straightforward, it has to be said that it is really a solution, after all, they still have a large demand for Australian weapons anyway, and once Australia imposes an arms embargo on Britain and France, it will lose its dominant advantage in the battle against the Habsburgs.
The Dutch also did this because they were forced to do this kind of thing to their allies without the alliance relationship, and once they reduced their arms exports, the only thing that would benefit the most was the Habsburg alliance led by Spain and the Holy Roman Empire, and they would have gained more initiative and finally won the war, if so, then history would have changed completely.
I am afraid that this will have a great impact on the future, and the time for Europe to enter the process of industrialization may continue to be extended, and as for Spain, even if they win the final victory of the war, they may not be able to get the territory they lost in the past, because of the war, Spain will fall into a long economic crisis, and they have to look up to the Australians.
So what to do should really be decided after thinking about it, after all, it is a matter that affects the whole body, and it can't be sloppy.
It is true that it is not appropriate to send troops at this time, because the Ming Dynasty is about to send troops to aid, and if there is a war with them at this time, you can imagine what will happen. Although Britain and France will not transfer too many troops to the Far East, but the pressure on Australia will increase, and at the same time in the face of attacks from three European countries, the military defense will be tight, we all know that Malacca and Luzon are important bases in Australia, which is the intermediate station to the Ming Dynasty.
In addition, the Luzon Overseas Consulate is also a first-class material reserve base, and most of the materials shipped to Hong Kong are transported here first and then transferred to Hong Kong, so as to prevent a large amount of materials from falling into the hands of the enemy in case the Hong Kong base is lost.
Therefore, the importance of Luzon can be imagined, and there must be no loss of anything, let alone falling into the hands of Britain and France, which has no intention of putting their own destiny in the hands of others. Therefore, from the current situation, the best way to solve this problem is to reduce the export of weapons, and send out the church to tell them that it is absolutely impossible to establish military bases or trading posts in the Far East, and that they must abide by the treaties of the Far Eastern Military Alliance.
But it may not be so easy to get them to obey willingly. In particular, the only way for the British to want them to obey the order is to solve the problem by force, and in the absence of a certain amount of force, they will never obey it, so in the end, there may be several more wars between the two sides.
After all, the British had already defeated Spain and the Netherlands in succession, and had taken many colonies from them, and they should not care about the Dutch, and in their opinion, it would not be difficult to defeat them in the Far East.
Although Britain is currently the most potential competitor, Australia is sure that as long as the other side does not send more than 10,000 troops, it will absolutely win the war.
But at the moment the Dutch meant to unite and wipe out the British who had entered the area, so that they would know that there was only Australia in the Far East.
Why do we say that only Australia exists, because the Netherlands and Britain are allies, and since they are allies, if they continue to fight in the Far East, it will inevitably affect the alliance at home.
Therefore, in this case, the Netherlands felt that Australia should take the responsibility of being the boss and expel the British and French forces, and they themselves were inconvenient to send troops because of their alliance with the two countries.
That is to say, they will not send troops, Australia, Spain and Portugal will deal with the British and France, of course, in order to let the three parties send troops, they will also give a part of the benefits, after all, they themselves did not send troops, and if they want the other three parties to send troops, what if they don't make a little effort.
Fan Dimen said that as long as the three parties agree to send troops, all the military and material consumption will be borne by them, on the surface, they at least contributed funds, but in fact, the three parties are definitely at war with Britain and France, and their own strength has been consumed, this is certain, you don't need to think about it.
The Dutch used this method of deception to fool England and France into the chariot in Europe, and then they did nothing but give a little monetary assistance to get the maximum benefit.
Now it seems that they are going to repeat the old trick and use this method in the Far East, of course, Australia will not be able to fall for them, Australia sent troops to help him go to war, and in the end his own strength was damaged.
This kind of foolishness was only fooled by England and France, but now it seems that they have begun to realize that the Dutch have deceived them, so they proposed to establish a colony in the Far East in order to gain a trading status.
Don't say that Australia will not be fooled, I'm afraid Spain is not so easy to be fooled, after all, the hatred between the Spaniards and the Dutch is not the slightest, and it is clear that the tricks of this group of guys are clear.
After Australia and Spain sent troops, they were taking advantage of the fishermen, not only in the Far East but also in Europe itself, it can only be said that the Dutch think too much, and treat everyone as fools.
Of course, they themselves may not think so, thinking that the Australians should agree to their proposal, after all, the Australians can help you do anything as long as they give enough benefits, and the weapons are powerful.
The Australian Parliament did not pass the proposal of the Dutch, and asked them to send troops together on the grounds that Australia was not strong enough to deal with it together, of course, whether the Dutch would send troops together is another matter. But Australia is ready to respond.
Let the European consulates general increase the arms exports of the Habsburg group, so as to contain the two countries on the battlefield and not advance eastward, as for the big dream of the Dutch in the spring and autumn, then they can only let them continue to do it, and there is no way to solve this matter without sending troops.
The greatest role of the existence of the Far Eastern military alliance is to jointly deal with possible military threats, including sending troops to jointly deal with external forces.
