Chapter 952: Can a Gentleman Be Bullied? (Above)

"Good opportunity, brethren, for me to settle in Macau. This is our Marines' chance to show their faces, and this time we are truly regaining lost ground. This Macau has been occupied by these foreigners for hundreds of years, and it is the oldest lost colony in China. It's been hundreds of years, and we're finally going to reclaim it. This time it was all the credit of our Marine Corps, and everyone was promoted at that time. After this time, we, the Marine Corps, also have the capital to stand on our own. When the time comes, everyone will follow the chicken dog to heaven! Li Yuanhong shouted.

Li Yuanhong was overjoyed in his heart, this time it was finally his turn, if the Marines could recover this Macao this time, then from him to ordinary Marines, they could also follow the chicken dog to heaven. Although the land of Macao is not large, it represents a lot of political capital. With this political capital, the status of the Marine Corps can be improved a lot, so that they are fully qualified to break away from the navy, and they can also go to a higher status, and they can enjoy the status of becoming an independent branch of the army, without being attached to the navy, but it is a very embarrassing position.

Even after the recovery of Macao this time, he Li Yuanhong was able to enter the Military Commission as a representative of the Marine Corps. Entering the Military Commission in this way means that he has made further progress in his life. Although the military rank may not be promoted after entering the Military Commission, it represents seniority, and it also represents entering the real inner circle of the army. Therefore, of course, he hopes to seize this opportunity and be able to enter the Military Commission. Therefore, this Macao is bound to win, and whoever dares to stop them, then they will not be polite!

"Uhhh

The landing craft anchored outside the port of Macau, and the Marines began to land, then they advanced with guns in hand, and then moved forward. And many foreigners in Macao saw this marine, and they finally knew that this day had come. Macao, which they have stolen for hundreds of years, is about to return to China. None of them, the foreigners of Macau, can continue to have privileges, and the privileges they have enjoyed for hundreds of years have also begun to end today. China is no longer the ignorant country of the past and fears foreigners like tigers, but now China is strong and fully qualified to protect its territory and interests from being infringed upon.

"Governor Coats, what are we going to do? The Chinese have already begun to land! Someone said.

Gao Shide immediately said fiercely: "Mobilize our Portuguese citizens in Macau to stop them!" ”

"Your Excellency the Governor, isn't that right? Our armed forces are no more than a few hundred people, and none of them are their opponents. Let our civilians stop it, isn't that -- sending sheep into the jaws of the tiger? Instead of this, it is better to capture the Chinese and take them hostage. ”

However, Gao Shide smiled bitterly and said: "Capture the Chinese as hostages? Do you think the Chinese are still the same China in the past? If we take the Chinese hostage, then such a matter really cannot be solved, and I am afraid that I will be sent to China as a scapegoat to calm the anger at that time, and even affect my family. If our Portugal is still the Portugal of the past, and China is still the China of the past, we naturally have no scruples. But now, we have to admit that we in Portugal have declined! ”

Sometimes this is also the sorrow of a weak country, and maybe some strong countries do not have to follow the rules, but the weak countries are forced to abide by them. Just like during the Anti-Japanese Period, the Japanese burned, killed, raped, and plundered in China, although China has always called on the international community to condemn them, but the Japanese have not been punished too much for this, at most they have been condemned by the international community without pain, but the Japanese will do what they want. But if China uses the same tactics, it will be condemned by the international community.

Sometimes, blood for blood and tooth for tooth is easy to say, but it is not so easy. The rules of this world are still made by the powerful countries, and the rules formulated by the powerful countries can be broken through at will in the war, but they will not be punished too much. However, in the war between the weak country and the strong country, the strong country can break through the moral bottom line, but the weak country must grit its teeth and swallow it, not only can not return blood for blood, but also avoid the excessive behavior of its own soldiers. This is also the difference in national strength, the strong country can be unscrupulous, but the weak country can only choose patience.

Although the Portuguese could choose to take the Chinese hostage, they knew very well that if they did so, then China and the Portuguese would be completely unable to reconcile and would have to go to war. If China and Portugal go to war, Portugal will definitely be unlucky. At that time, Portugal will lose even more, so they dare not take the Chinese hostage.

"But Governor Coats, if we let the Portuguese stop them, they will all be unarmed Portuguese citizens! If you let them stop it, will it make them slaughter? ”

Gao Shide smiled bitterly and said, "What else can I do? I think the Chinese should be afraid of the influence and will not kill our ordinary unarmed citizens, right? It is precisely because they are unarmed citizens that they should have some scruples and naturally dare not mess around. I have been in China for a certain period of time, and I probably know some of the characteristics of Chinese, that is, they pay attention to benevolence and righteousness, and pay attention to repaying grievances with virtue. Even if others bully them, they will not retaliate with cruel means, but will be good to you. Therefore, if we use force directly, not only will there be no effect and no effect, but we will lose. However, letting these ordinary people stop it may have an effect, because if they are worried about their reputation, they will naturally be afraid to mess around. ”

"So, with this characteristic of the Chinese, I think they should not dare to shoot at those unarmed ordinary Portuguese citizens." So, we thought maybe that would be a way to at least stall for time! As long as the Chinese pay attention to reputation, if they make a move against our ordinary citizens, then they may also be dissatisfied with their government, so we will definitely get a chance. ”

Soon, under the mobilization of various so-called officials of the Portuguese Governor's Palace, those Portuguese citizens and businessmen in Macao also went out one after another, and then stopped the main streets. They didn't hold weapons either, and then they all just squeezed towards the Chinese marines. They also didn't have weapons, and they didn't take the initiative to take out all kinds of hot and cold weapons to fight back, which made it difficult for them to deal with.

"Are these Portuguese crazy? They are so unarmed and have come to stop us, are they looking for death? Immediately a company commander of the Marine Corps scolded.

Someone else scolded: "Yes! Are they looking for death? ”

Immediately, however, one of the captain's staff officers said, "No, they are a conspiracy. If the other side is the army, we can shoot without hesitation. But in doing so, they are ordinary people, people without weapons, so we don't dare to shoot casually. If we shoot casually, we can't predict what will happen to us. According to military discipline, we can't just shoot at unarmed people, so what should we do? ”

The military discipline of many countries contains rules and regulations that prohibit the shooting of unarmed personnel of the opposing side easily, but whether these rules and regulations are conscientiously implemented depends on whether the military laws of various countries are strictly grasped. If it is loosely grasped, it will be a rag, but the Chinese army is still very strict in grasping military law, and it cannot violate military law casually. Once military law is violated, it will definitely be tried by a military court.

So the Portuguese set is really a bit embarrassing for the Chinese marines, if the other side is an enemy with a weapon, even if it is just an ordinary weapon, just a wooden stick, it can be much easier. But in the face of this kind of not holding a weapon, it is all dependent on the strength of the body to squeeze, which is not easy to solve.

"How can they be so shameless? How can you use such unarmed people as a shield to force us to submit? A Marine Corps officer said angrily.

However, when the Portuguese saw this, someone immediately shouted: "Everyone protect our homeland for me, and we can't let these Chinese come and take our land." These lands have been accumulated by our ancestors, and we cannot let the Chinese take them. They didn't dare to shoot at us, we rushed up and drove them out! They didn't dare to shoot on their own initiative, squeeze me up! ”

"Bastard, are we really bullies? As if we were afraid of them? Damn, if it weren't for the fact that we can't just shoot at the enemy's unarmed personnel in military law, they would have died a long time ago! A Marine Corps staff officer scolded.

"Bang Bang Bang ......"

Someone fired a series of shots and fired warning shots, and the Portuguese calmed down initially.

"I'm going to ask right away if we can shoot these Portuguese, it's infuriating."

This kind of order to shoot at the enemy's unarmed personnel is not an order that an ordinary captain or even a major lieutenant colonel can give, and perhaps only Li Yuanhong, the commander of the theater, can have this power. Because of the firing on unarmed personnel, this country has the relevant military discipline. However, China's military discipline is very strict, and this kind of thing cannot be easily authorized to low-level officers and soldiers. Strikes against unarmed personnel of the enemy must be approved by the commander of the theater of operations, and this is also a matter of strict military discipline.

The Portuguese thought that the Chinese army was afraid of them, but in fact the Chinese army was only afraid of military discipline, not unarmed people.

"Bastard, when we are gentlemen, are we easy to bully?" Li Yuanhong immediately said angrily. (To be continued.) )
