In the Strait of Malacca, a large fleet of ships came to the Strait of Malacca. The Strait of Malacca is the Dutch island of Sumatra in Indonesia, as well as the strait in the middle of the Malay Peninsula, and this Strait of Malacca is almost the only way for trade between the East and the West, and even in later generations, there are countless oil cruise ships to the East, so that Japan, a country that is extremely short of oil resources, can maintain the status of the world's top economic power. And the Strait of Malacca is currently the only way for the world's most profitable trade between the East and the West, if anyone can control the Strait of Malacca in this era, it is definitely almost the control of the world.

Wang Guorui is also very red for this Strait of Malacca. However, he knew that this Strait of Malacca was not something that he could covet at present, and if he dared to occupy the Strait of Malacca, then I am afraid that the local powers of the world would have to unite to clean themselves up. Even if China is strong enough in the future, Wang Guorui will not dare to completely control it. After all, this is completely a powder keg between the East and the West, if he dares to move the Strait of Malacca, I am afraid it will be tantamount to offending the entire Western world, and Wang Guorui can't afford to be guilty at present!

"Mr. Henry, this time it is troublesome for you British to help us make the decision, the Chinese are too unreasonable this time, they actually invaded our Dutch colony, it is really unreasonable. So please also ask you, Mr. Henry, to help us make the decisions and administer justice for us in the Netherlands. Also, the 200,000-strong army behind me will ask your British ships to help cover it and send it to Kalimantan. Bruce, the commander of the army sent from within the Netherlands, said.

And the Englishman Henry immediately said: "Okay, I will definitely not let the Chinese succeed, they want to put their hands into the South Seas, it depends on whether our British Empire agrees!" ”

"Please!" Bruce said.

About fifty kilometers away, Li He led a cruiser detachment towards the Strait of Malacca, and then Li He immediately snorted coldly: "You really use us as a cooking bucket." A group of ordinary troop carriers, just a few ordinary small gunboats, want to pass through the Strait of Malacca. Don't look at whose world is in the Java Sea now, if you want to transport troops over, then you must first ask our cruiser detachment if it agrees. ”

Li He's lookout had already seen a large number of troop carriers of the Dutch Navy about dozens of kilometers away, and those troop carriers did not bring battleships or cruisers to cover, and directly brought some small gunboats as protection ships. And so bold to want to pass through the Strait of Malacca. This really doesn't take Taiwan's fleet seriously. Therefore, Li He naturally wanted to take the opportunity to annihilate these Dutch armies, if he could annihilate the 200,000 Dutch army at one time, it would be a great achievement! Last time, they tried to annihilate the 120,000 Dutch army without success, but now the Dutch are carrying 200,000 troop transports, so they should send them to the sea to feed the king as much as possible.

"Forward!" Li He shouted.

Soon, both sides began to look at each other, and then Li He's cruiser guns were soon aimed in the distance, and then the Dutch also spotted the Chinese warship, but strangely. They were not afraid, but rushed directly in front of the cruiser.

"Aim, give me ......" Li Hegang wanted to order the launch.

"Captain Li, wait!" A bridge staff officer said.

"What's going on?" Li He asked.

The bridge staff officer immediately said: "Captain Li, you can't fight!" ”

"What? Can't beat? Are you kidding me? Li He asked.

"Captain Li, go and see for yourself!" Said the bridge staff.

Li He used his binoculars to cut down the Dutch troop convoy in the distance, although there were no large warships as protection, but there were more than twenty small gunboats around them. With such a small gunboat with a displacement of several hundred tons, Li He can be sure that even the secondary guns on his cruiser can be shot at a time. This small gunboat was not a problem for Li He to the cruiser detachment. But what Li He was afraid of was not this, but the national flags flying on those small gunboats.

Those small gunboats were hung with the British flag, indicating that these small gunboats were British warships. Taiwan and the British did not declare war, and if Li He wanted to attack the Dutch troop carriers, it was inevitable that he would attack the small gunboats of the British. But if you hit this small gunboat of the British, I am afraid it will be really a big trouble. Although these twenty or so small gunboats have a displacement of just over seven thousand tons. Even these small gunboats are not strong in combat and cannot fight regularly at all, at most they are the storage of inland river escorts.

But as the saying goes, it depends on the owner to beat the dog, and although these small gunboats are not worth mentioning, he bears the old British flag. The meaning is different. If Taiwan dares to sink these British gunboats, it will be tantamount to a war against Britain. At that time, I am afraid that the Dutch will just laugh from ear to ear, and even the British will take the initiative to collude with many European countries to attack Taiwan. At that time, it may not be the "Eight-Nation Alliance", and I am afraid that the Eighty-Nation Alliance will also come out.

Wang Guorui is deeply aware of the British Yankees' fear of himself, and if there is the right time and place to be right, then the British will definitely not let go of the idea of gathering a large number of countries to destroy Taiwan. The reason why the British did not take the initiative to rally countries was because European countries had their own contradictions, and then they involved each other so that the British could not do anything. In addition, even if Britain destroys Taiwan, the cost of army life will definitely not be less than 100,000, and as long as the British do not faint, they will definitely not take the initiative to pay more than 100,000 lives for a "small" Taiwan. Even if the British government wants to fight, the spokesmen of the capitalists in parliament will not agree to it. After paying a huge price but only being able to obtain a Taiwan with no resources, the British capitalists have no brains to enter the water!

But once Wang Guorui sank the British gunboat, the meaning was different. At that time, the British will think that they have been greatly insulted, and they will definitely be able to take the opportunity to declare war on Taiwan! At that time, Britain also had a reason to get the parliament to agree to declare war on Taiwan, and then rally the country to destroy Taiwan. At that time, Taiwan would really face a very huge crisis.

"Order the cruiser to come forward and confront them. But you can't fire without my permission! Li He said.

The cruiser detachment immediately went over and pointed its guns at the troop carriers, and the British gunboats also aimed their guns at the Taiwanese warships. Not enough, the Taiwanese Navy is not afraid, because these small gunboat shells simply cannot threaten themselves.

"I am a mediator sent by the British Empire, my name is Henry, and I am in charge of mediating the war between Taiwan and the Netherlands. I hope that both sides will still value peace, and then discuss it together! Henry said.

But Li He didn't speak, just looked at these gunboats, and then said, "What's going on with these gunboats? ”

"Hehe, in order to mediate everyone's fight, we must send some warships to separate the two sides, and then continue to talk after everyone has arrived on Kalimantan Island!" Henry said.

And Li He was silent, and he could only send the relevant news to Dong Wanlu via radio.

"Mr. Henry, the Chinese won't shoot, right?" Dutch General Bruce asked.

"Hehe, if they dare to shoot at our warships, isn't that exactly what you Dutch think? If they dare to open fire, it will be a declaration of war on our British Empire, and I hope that is what I have come this time! Henry sneered.

And in Dong Wanlu, Wang Guorui looked at this telegram, and then immediately slapped the table and said angrily: "These Brits, they are completely pulling the shelf!" ”

When those present saw the telegram, they all said, "What shamelessness the British! ”

The meaning of the British was obvious, that is, to use their own British ships to cover the landing of the Dutch army of 200,000. After the Dutch army landed, the Dutch had a total of 320,000 troops on Kalimantan Island, which was enough in terms of numbers, and the overall strength was not necessarily lower than the strength of Taiwan's more than 70,000 marines.

"Li He asked us if we agreed to open fire and sink those little gunboats of the British?" The communications staff officer asked.

"Can't fight! This is a conspiracy of the British! Liu Xue immediately said: "If we fight, the Annese will have a reason to declare war on us." At that time, I am afraid that we will face a siege from many countries. ”

When Wang Guorui heard this, he immediately realized that this was a conspiracy of the British government. Although the causal government also has the idea of declaring war on Taiwan, because once Taiwan reunifies with the mainland in the future, the threat is very huge. However, he was unable to pass through the guò council, after all, such a big matter as a declaration of war had to go through the guò council.

This situation is somewhat similar to that of the United States during World War II, when the president and the government wanted to go to war with Japan, but isolationism was rife in the country, so they could not get through the guò parliament. As a result, it was later said that the United States deliberately allowed Japan to attack Pearl Harbor, and as a result, it immediately took the opportunity to declare war. And the current situation is very similar, the British government wants to go to war with Taiwan, but it can't get through the Guò Parliament. Therefore, the British deliberately used some small gunboats as bait, and if Taiwan dared to sink them, then the British government had every reason to persuade Parliament to declare war on Taiwan.

"He's meow, I'll have to settle this account with the British sooner or later!" Wang Guorui said.

At present, Taiwan's strength is not enough to be able to fight the British, so it can only admit that the British are biased. Next, the war will still test the strength of the army. (To be continued......)
