Chapter 674: Killing the Chicken and Showing the Monkey (Part I)

"According to my analysis, Seymour has just hinted that as long as the interests of their overseas citizens are protected, they will not continue to care about the British Empire. This is actually the intention of the British to end the war with dignity, so we might as well satisfy their ideas and let the British leave! Li Enfu said.

Feng Wentian asked: "It's so cheap for them?" When they come to our China, they don't need to pay compensation, but they still have to give them a decent end to the war? ”

"So do we have a solution? If we don't give face to the British, then we will really offend the British to death, can we afford to eat? In the final analysis, our power is not good, if the British really do their best with us, and then the British are pulling some other countries to fight with us, let's not say whether we can fight, even if we can fight, how about it? They are a number of countries, and almost all of them have been industrialized, and we are one country that has not yet been able to fully industrialize, and the continent has not been able to industrialize at all. At that time, even if Lord Wang can get weapons through some other means, then how much we will delay development! You know, if we delay for a year, then these European countries will definitely develop faster. We started almost from scratch, already a lot behind, and if we were to be dragged on by the war again, we would lose even more. We have to fight with the British, so it is still appropriate to give him some face. The bigger the country, the more they want to save face, and if they lose face, they will naturally not be able to dominate the whole world. Besides, the British didn't want to extort too much from us this time, we just let them go back a little more decently. ”

Wang Guorui immediately asked: "You mean to sign a treaty with the British, since they are here to protect their overseas Chinese interests, then we will also sign a statement with them that we are willing to protect the legitimate interests of their British nationals, so that they can also choose to reconcile with us?" ”

Lee replied, "Yes." I think that since they already know that things cannot be done, they will naturally choose to reconcile with us and end the war with dignity. We only need to declare that they guarantee the legitimate interests of their British expatriates so that they don't have to worry too much. We won't pay each other any compensation anyway, so we'll do whatever we want. ”

"On the other hand, it's actually quite simple. We should focus our attacks on the Russians, the Japanese, and the Americans, who are the ones who really want to bite a piece of meat off us. So we have to hit one of them hard, and then deter the other two, so that the other two don't dare to act rashly. And we crack down on one of them, specifically to show those Western countries our strength and our attitude, so that we can also deter them. If we 'kill' one of them completely, then the countries of the world will also know that we are ruthless, and they will think about it before going to war with us again. So, what we have to think about is to clean up the Russians, the Japanese. Or what about the Americans? ”

Feng Wentian immediately said: "Lord Wang, I suggest cleaning up the Japanese, cleaning up all the Japanese, killing the chicken of the Japanese, and showing our strength to all countries!" What's more, the Japanese are too annoying, this kind of national wolf ambition, we must kill their chickens and let them see our strength. ”

Soon. There are also many people who agree with killing the Japanese chicken. Because many of the generals who are doing it came from Taiwan together, they started in Taiwan to resist Japan. Naturally, I don't like the Japanese the most. So they heard that they were going to kill one of the chickens, so that the first choice was also Japanese. However, despite what the military says, Lee Eun-bo, as a government side, clearly has a different idea.

"Lord Wang, I don't think so. I think the Americans should be killed! Li Enfu said.

"Kill Americans? The Americans don't have much hatred for us! Not to mention the wolf ambitions of the Japanese, they want to occupy our territory, can we let him go? Someone said unhappily.

Li Enfu shook his head and said: "I don't think so, geographically speaking, the Japanese are indeed one of our first goals, but we also have to think about our next plan." Didn't Lord Wang say that? The military is at the service of politics, and it is impossible for us not to think about our next political plans. Our next plan is to think about unifying the whole country, and then to develop the domestic economy and build up all the industries in the country. It will cost a lot of wealth, and a lot of labor. So our current plan is to unify the country, and then reform the economic and social system in the country, and build up domestic industry. ”

"But if we kill all these Japanese here, it means that we have a blood feud with the Japanese, and they will not be so easy to solve. At that time, I am afraid that they will be too stimulated, and they will directly arm millions of troops to confront us. The Japanese are too close to us and can threaten us at any time. Of course, we are not afraid of them, but once they go crazy and expand their army by several million, then the pressure on our national defense will definitely be very great. At that time, we will inevitably deploy large armies in Northeast China, Shandong, Zhejiang, and even the southeast coast at any time to guard against millions of Japanese invading us at any time. Even if the army of millions does not have many weapons, it is enough to be feared. At that time, the troops in the northeast and southeast coastal areas had to maintain a combat state at all times and be ready for war at any time. Once the state of war readiness is maintained for a long time, a lot of resources will be consumed, and even the development of the southeast coast will have to stop for a long time. ”

"The United States is different, the United States is a whole Pacific Ocean away from us! They want to send millions of troops on an expedition, and that's a complete fantasy. Even if they sent 90,000 troops, it was already very remarkable, and it was already the limit of their transportation capacity and projection capacity. So even if we slaughter these tens of thousands of Americans, what can the Americans do to me? If they have the ability, they will send millions of troops on an expedition, but this is impossible. Tens of thousands of people were sent, and it was not used at all, which was also a matter of delivery capacity. ”

Li Enfu's meaning is very obvious, that is, the Japanese are a madman who is close to his own door, and he is quite a madman. Although China is not afraid of this madman, China's current plan is not to make trouble with this madman, but to clean up its own house, and to make trouble with this madman is to ask for trouble. If the Japanese are barefoot and not afraid to wear shoes, even if he can't beat you, he can disgust you to death and make you unable to develop. In the next few years, China will focus on developing its internal affairs, rather than confronting Japan desperately. Even if he can't beat you, if a lot of Japanese people go crazy and want to disgust you to death, then you really don't feel good.

However, the Americans are different, the Americans are separated from the entire Pacific Ocean, and it is impossible for them to send a large army to attack China, or even threaten China in the slightest. The United States of this era is not the United States that covers the whole world and can carry out global strikes at any time, they cannot send millions of troops on expeditions, they simply cannot mobilize millions of troops. Even the transportation and projection capacity is at most tens of thousands across the Pacific, and tens of thousands of people are nothing to China. 、

So this is that since you want to offend one, is it better to offend those who are far away from you or to offend those who are close to you? If you offend the Japanese who are close to you, then you will definitely have a lot of pressure on your defense in the future. At that time, the millions of Japanese fighters will be by your side, and at that time you will have to worry about what he will do to you. Even if you're not afraid of people, why bother? Since ancient times, there has only been a thousand days to be a thief, and there is no reason to prevent thieves for a thousand days, and if the Japanese are really driven crazy, then China will face the result of a thousand days of thieves. If you offend the Americans, then the Americans will not be able to come to you for revenge, and it makes no difference at all whether you defend or not.

In the future, will China continue to fight wars, and its own domestic mess has not been resolved, will it still confront Japan and start a war at any time? Once we fall into the state of guarding against thieves for a thousand days, it will certainly seriously delay economic development, and even more so, seriously slow down the progress of domestic social structural reform, economic system, and industrial construction.

"Well, then in that case, then we'll clean up the Americans! Let's use the chicken of the Americans and kill it for the Europeans and the Japanese to see! Wang Guorui said.

If he has the ability, then Wang Guorui will definitely not let go of the Japanese, and it is best to destroy Japan. However, the reality does not allow it, and in the case of destroying the Japanese and developing and reforming domestic internal affairs, Wang Guorui still chooses to give priority to domestic development. Revenge is necessary, but we cannot give up all our vital development opportunities for the sake of revenge. As the leader of a country, it is no longer a matter of oneself, so among the opportunities for national development and revenge for the Japanese, it is more important to choose for the development of the country. Anyway, there is no hurry to take revenge, and you can do it at any time when the country is strong in the future. But it is really stupid to bury the golden time of the country's development for the sake of revenge. There is no need to give up the golden time of these years in order to fight with the Japanese, the British have been making trouble with the Boers in recent years, and there is no time to interfere with China, and things will be done as soon as possible in these years. If you miss this golden time for development and reform in order to take revenge on the Japanese and vent your anger, then you really can't make up for it with no amount of money. (To be continued.) )
