Chapter 213: The Wood Is Complete
"I, Lanfang, have been wiped out by the Dutch barbarians for more than ten years, and today I ......"
With the release of a wireless telegram from the cruiser Jingyuan of the Navy, which was electrified to Guò Wang Guorui, the world's top brass also knew about the restoration of Lanfang, a small country in the South Seas. Of course, for the vast majority of people, they don't care about the affairs of a small country in Southeast Asia. Because not only is the communication ability poor in this era, but the center of the world is in Europe, ordinary people in Europe will not care about the affairs of a small country in Southeast Asia. In their eyes, China is a wild place, and Southeast Asia is a wild place, which is just a colony. As for the colonies, only those who are poor will think of going to the colonies to earn a living, and those who are slightly richer and more hot will not think of living in the colonies. After all, the vast majority of colonies are mainly based on plunder, and they are not built as their own land, so all kinds of infrastructure are very bad. If it's not for making a fortune or making money, who wants to live in the colonies! Those who went to the colony also thought that after going to the colony to work hard for a few years to make a lot of money, they would return to China to become an uncle.
And now that a Nanyang country has been electrified, no one cares about this, especially those ordinary people. As for the country there, everyone thinks that they are just an indigenous country, and it is not clear what the Republic of Lanfang is, they are all regarded as a country composed of ordinary indigenous people, how can such a country be valued by the "noble" Europeans?
However, the top leaders of various countries do not think so. Because they knew that Wang Guorui was also on the grounds of restoring the country for Lanfang, and then sent troops to Nanyang. In this way, Wang Guorui's power expanded to Nanyang, and Taiwan began to expand. Once Wang Guorui expands his influence to Nanyang, not only will Wang Guorui's internal pressure in Taiwan be resolved, but he will also be able to obtain a large amount of resources for development and further expansion. So. Those high-level Western officials began to think of ways to beat Wang Guorui's hand back.
"We, the British Empire, support the independence of every country, and since the Republic of Lanfang has been re-established, then we in the British Empire support the independent establishment of our own government in the Republic of Lanfang. The people of the Republic of Lanfang should be able to decide their own destiny and elect their own leaders, rather than relying on outsiders to decide their fate. We, the British Empire, will be the strong backing of the Republic of Lanfang. ”
"We, the French Republic, support the re-establishment of the Republic of Lanfang. We, the French Republic, will certainly support the establishment of an independent country in the Republic of Lanfang, and hope that the Republic of Lanfang can elect its own leader, and we in France are willing to support the independence of the Republic of Lanfang. ”
And in the Netherlands, the Dutch Prime Minister saw these two British and French calls, and then the Dutch Prime Minister Bourzesius burst into flames.
"Bastards, Englishmen, Frenchmen, did you take the wrong medicine? What is the difference between you doing this and recognizing the establishment of the Republic of Lanfang? Bourzetius said angrily.
And Princess Emma, the Queen Mother of the Netherlands, said helplessly: "Your Excellency Prime Minister." The British and the French are not optimistic that we will be able to win! ”
Princess Emma has been regent for her daughter for almost ten years, and she also has some ideas about the overall international situation, after all, he has been born in a royal family since he was a child, so he naturally knows a lot of political things when he hears and sees it. Of course, she could see the purpose of the British and the French.
The British and French wanted to prevent Wang Guorui from expanding their influence to the Nanyang area, but the British and French could not start a war against Taiwan for the Dutch. After all, Taiwan is not necessarily a soft persimmon, and if you lose yourself in order to fight Taiwan, then I am afraid it will be troublesome. So the British and French don't want Wang Guorui to expand. However, he didn't want to send troops to stop it, so he could only use political means.
Of course. If the Dutch had been more powerful, they wouldn't have chosen this approach. The most important thing is that the Dutch are not strong, as a European country, can they not know what level the Dutch are? If the Dutch could defeat Taiwan, they would not have that confidence. So they retreated to the next best thing, since Wang Guorui's reason for attacking Nanyang was to help Lan Fang restore the country. Naturally, they also recognized that Lanfang was an independent country, and then hoped that Lanfang's side could take the initiative to fight with Wang Guorui.
The British and French, since they are first-class powers in the world, they naturally know that Taiwan is not a soft persimmon. They still know a lot about Taiwan's strength, because after all, Taiwan's current army weapons and equipment are the best in the world. The tactical thinking is also the most advanced, and even the various special forces are the most powerful. At present, the British know that there is a woman named Tanya in Taiwan, and in Tanya's past achievements, she has annihilated almost 3,000 enemies in total. Three thousand people, even three thousand pigs, can't be killed! But Tanya, a ruthless woman, was able to kill 3,000 enemies, which is simply against the sky. Judging from this kind of multiple intelligence analysis, Taiwan's strength is definitely not simple. At least, they believed that the Dutch could not defeat Taiwan.
In this kind of situation, where they can't come forward and the Dutch don't give their way, then they can only use their own methods, and then let Taiwan take the initiative to withdraw from the South Seas, and don't mess around. Anyway, the recognition of the Lanfang Republic is just a political means, and after Wang Guorui withdraws from Taiwan in the future, isn't this so-called Lanfang Republic just a matter of pinching them to death?
"Your Excellency Prime Minister, can we defeat Taiwan? It seems that neither the British nor the French believe that we can defeat Taiwan! Princess Emma asked.
Bourgesius immediately said: "We will definitely be able to defeat those Taiwanese 'natives', and the Chinese will not be our opponents." This is the glory of our Kingdom of the Netherlands, and it must not be tainted by some cats and dogs! ”
"Then do you really have the confidence to defeat them?" Princess Emma asked.
"My Dutch army will definitely be able to defeat those lowly Chinese! We will send another 150,000 men from within the country, and then attack the Far East again. This East Indies is the last colony of our Netherlands, and we must not lose it, this is the last glory of our Netherlands. I will definitely make Taiwan a colony of our Dutch again. Bourgesius roared.
Soon, the British and French were not optimistic about the Dutch, but Bourgetius aroused his ferocity, so that he immediately decided to send 150,000 men to fight Wang Guorui's Taiwanese forces for Indonesia. This time, they want to really defeat Wang Guorui, and even turn Taiwan into a Dutch colony again.
Wang Guorui received this telegram, then looked at the telegram between the British and the French, and then sneered: "The British and the French have miscalculated!" ”
"Husband, why?" Kang Tongwei asked.
"Look at what this British and French mean, what he means behind it is that he hopes that Lanfang can become a truly independent country, that Lanfang people can decide their own destiny, and that both the British and the French are willing to help Lanfang!" Wang Guorui said.
"These foreign devils, will they be so kind?" Kang Tongwei asked.
"Hmph, they're coming for us! If you really think they are so kind, they are actually provoking our relationship with Lan Fang. The reason why they say this is because they know that Lan Fang is just a puppet that we support, and they know that Lan Fang is a puppet supported by us, so they still say this, that is also their purpose. ”
"They just hope to let Lan Fang's puppets know the news, and then let them fall out with us. You must know that all puppets are not willing to be puppets, they all want to be completely and truly in power. So once those Lan Fang's puppets receive this news, then I'm afraid they will also have some short-sighted guys who burst into self-confidence and fall out with us. We are here in the name of helping Lan Fang, if Lan Fang, a puppet, does not cooperate with us and comes to dismantle us, then we will not have an advantage in politics. ”
"Our exploration of Nanyang this time is not only a military battle, but also a political battle. If we do not occupy the general righteousness in politics, then the French and the British will have a reason to gather a large group of people to put pressure on us, and then we can only compromise and withdraw from the South Seas. And then that Lanfang Republic, that is, let them pinch it to death! ”
Kang Tongwei asked curiously: "Those Lanfang's people, will they cooperate with the British?" ”
"Well, I'm afraid they'll be very short-sighted. The British and French spoke in support of Lan Fang later, and Lan Fang's short-sighted people would think that it was better to cooperate with the British and French. Because they took advantage of us and restored the country, naturally some people wanted to send us away, and then they could take power. And the British and French support them, then they will naturally give them the courage to oppose us. They want to use us to restore the country, then use the British and the French to get rid of us, and finally they can take power themselves. ”
They had no idea, however, that the British and the French were also ill-intentioned. Only we are truly for the good of the Chinese, and they may be able to expel us by the English and French, but they will not help us. And those who want to really be in power, they don't care that we are the same kind of culture, and in their eyes only power is the main thing. ”
Kang Tongwei then asked, "Then what should we do?" ”
"Hmph, the British and the French, it's just a blind man who lit the lamp in vain!" Wang Guorui said.
Wang Guorui then lit the two pieces of paper with a match, as if there was no news at all. (To be continued......)
