Chapter 947: Soldiers Coming to Macau

After receiving a telegram order from ******** headed by Wang Guorui, Li Yuanhong immediately started to mobilize his troops without saying a word. He asked his more than 30,000 marines to prepare for two routes, one of which was responsible for landing on the sea from the area of Guangzhou Bay, and was ready to carry out landing operations at any time. And then there is also a part that is responsible for cutting off the road for Macau to escape outside, and then blocking all of them in Macau. Although ******** had already given an order, even Li Yuanhong knew that giving an order was one thing, but he did not have the power to take the initiative to start a war.

Wang Guorui's order was only for him to prepare for action, and then put pressure on Macao to come to the city, as for whether to take the initiative to start a war, this is not something that Li Yuanhong can do. According to international practice, all wars must be declared on the contrary, and if there is no declaration of war, it is an undeclared war. The undeclared war has a very bad reputation in the world, and Wang Guorui has to care about it.

Of course, if the interests are really big enough, such as the Pearl Harbor of the Japanese, then the interests are big enough, then it is okay to go to war without declaring war. After all, the benefits are huge enough, then anything can be done. However, in the face of this Macau, although it is to recover the homeland, it is only a small place after all, and it is really inappropriate to make an undeclared war for this territory that will inevitably return.

"Governor Gold, our Magang is surrounded by Chinese. Their Marines are already encircling us outside, and they have cut us off from the outside. Our ports and all ships at sea were closed to traffic, and then they forced us back even if we wanted to get out. However, they have not yet started a war, but perhaps as long as their central government gives an order, they can attack at any time, and then they can land on our Macau, then we will not be able to escape. We are already surrounded, and it is almost impossible for us to escape from land and sea. As for going north, it is impossible, to the north is the territory of the Chinese, and we will die even worse! ”

"Governor, our northern part has been surrounded by Army units in China's Southeast Theater of Operations. Although they are not regular main forces, but only militia and reservists in some war zones, they have also achieved one rifle per person. We don't have a lot of artillery, but it's a lot of pressure on us! ”

In less than a day, almost all of them were mobilized, and the Marines were already moving, and then they cut off this channel of communication with the outside world. Maybe only the electromagnetic waves in the air can't be cut off, but this no longer makes any sense. There are marines in the south to block it, and it can land and attack at any time. And in the north there are reserve forces, although they are no more than tens of thousands, and there are not many artillery. However, there were already too many Portuguese troops stationed in Macao.

The reason for such rapid mobilization is also thanks to the new mobilization system, which allows them to gather tens of thousands of troops in a day. Of course, this Macao is located in Guangdong, and borders the territory directly controlled by China, so all kinds of troops in Guangdong have all moved to their destinations, and there is no need to prepare even logistical supplies, so of course the speed of this assembly is fast. The most time-consuming thing to organize an army is to organize logistics, and if you don't need to organize logistics, the speed of army build-up is simply unimaginable. If you didn't have to organize logistics, it was not only not strange to gather tens of thousands of troops on that day, but it was very normal.

"Listen to the Portuguese in Macau, our Chinese army is preparing to take over Macao, please get out of the way as soon as possible! All of you, the Portuguese, the administrative apparatus of your so-called Governor-General's Office of Macao, must be dissolved within forty-eight hours, and then we, the Southeastern Theater of Operations, of China, shall temporarily impose military control over Macao. If you don't follow the arrangement, we will take over Macau by force. When the time comes, if it is resolved by force, then we will not dare to guarantee your safety, and you will be responsible for all the responsibilities at that time. Out of respect for life, we give you forty-eight hours to prepare, and if you refuse to obey orders, then we will attack! An officer shouted with a loudspeaker.

And the governor's palace in Macau was suddenly in chaos, and they didn't know what to do, especially the so-called troops in Macau, which were not so much existing, but only theoretical. In fact, these troops have no way at all, causing in front of tens of thousands of Chinese troops and tens of thousands of marines, it is nothing at all. In fact, these troops in Macao are only a few hundred people, and if such hundreds of people are in front of the naval guns, it will be almost impossible to die with one shot.

So such a little bit of people, then they are of no use at all.

"Governor, what are we going to do?" Someone asked.

The governor Gao Shide suddenly said with some uncertainty: "They did not attack directly, so could it be that they were worried that if they took the initiative to attack, it would cause war?" ”

The officials of the Governor's Mansion next to him almost fainted, this is just too idiotic, right?

"Don't be a luxuriant, Governor. You see how these Chinese are, they fought with Japan, with the Russians, with the Spaniards, with the Dutch. Even now they are still at war with the Americans, although they are not directly attacking, but the two sides have declared war. And we Portugal ......"

This staff member obviously means very obviously, what kind of thing are they Portugal? Do Chinese care about their feelings? All the Chinese care about is their own international reputation, after all, it is indeed inappropriate to go to war without declaring it. For the sake of a Macao, it is not yet suitable to make things that do not declare war, and it is still necessary to save some face. If we go to war for the sake of a Macao, it will be too embarrassing, and the strategic interests will outweigh the losses!

That Gao Shide also despaired in the end, he obviously knew that it was impossible to resist the Chinese here. They are not idiots, and in this case it must be very troublesome. Gao Shide already had a premonition that he would become the last governor of Macau.

"Go and call the representative of the Chinese, I want to ask them!" Gorshide still wants to make a final effort.

"Mr. Goldshide, I am the liaison staff officer of the Southeast Theater of Operations, with the rank of captain. Did you come to us for something? The liaison staff officer asked.

Gao Shide immediately said very angrily: "I am also the Governor of Macau, and my status in Portugal is equivalent to that of a government minister?" Are you going to send a little captain to talk to me? ”

"The Governor of Macau? When did we in China appoint this governor of Macau? And, what does Macau have to do with Portugal? How did I not know? I just know that our Marines are preparing to be stationed in Macau, and all the international regulations that I remember are about the right of every sovereign state to station troops on its own territory. We just belong to the internal transfer of the army, what can we not do? We are sending troops to our own territory, Macau, so complicated? How did I not know that the transfer of our Chinese army had to be agreed by Portugal? The liaison staff officer asked.

"You--, you China lent us Macau? So, of course, the Governor of Macau, I was appointed by the Portuguese government! Goldste asked.

"When did China lease Macau to Portugal? How did I not know? As far as I know, since the Ming Dynasty, you have also asked to be stationed here under the pretext of drying the goods that have entered the water, and then finally you can't leave. We have some records, and even heard of it in a deified novel "Strange Tales from Liao Zhai", although it is a bit exaggerated, but it accurately records the fact that you 'red-haired people' asked for a piece of land the size of a blanket under the pretext of stealing from us. ”

Regarding the Portuguese occupation of Macau, it is also mentioned in "Strange Tales from Liaozhai", but perhaps Pu Songling is hearsay and did not really see it in person. And maybe there was some rumors in the hearsay, and finally they became a group of "red-haired people" who made a blanket bigger and bigger, and finally bigger than a city. However, this cannot hide the fact that the Portuguese have occupied Macau for hundreds of years, and there is no doubt about it.

"I think even if you asked the local magistrate to find a piece of land to dry the watered goods, it would have been dry for hundreds of years, right? I think it's not the goods that have gone into the water, it's the heads of you Portuguese, who have been in the water for hundreds of years! The liaison staff officer said with a poisonous tongue.

"You, we signed a relevant Lend-Lease agreement with your Chinese government, this is a treaty that was formally signed more than 10 years ago, this is a treaty signed with your Chinese government at that time, don't you recognize it?" Gao Shide asked righteously.

"The treaties you signed with the so-called Manchu Empire are null and void, they are aggressors, and we do not recognize them as the legal system of China. We have expelled the Manchus and restored our rule in China. As for the so-called Guangxu Emperor of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, you go to them to be responsible. We did not inherit the legal system of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, we inherited the legal system of the Ming Empire hundreds of years ago. It seems that the Ming Empire didn't sign this kind of treaty with you back then, right? If you can come up with the treaty signed between the Ming Empire and you, then we will implement it in accordance with the treaty of that year. If you can't take it out, then our Chinese army will change its garrison on its own territory, and it seems that you don't need to come to the Portuguese to approve it, right? So, do it yourself!
