Chapter 236: Pig Teammates (II)
"Governor Wang, I think that since the Republic of Lanfang invited you to Nanyang, can you let us meet with the chairman of the provisional government of the Republic of Lanfang, and then discuss the matter of the Republic of Lanfang being able to establish its own country independently and freely in the future? At that time, we, the British Empire, will recognize Lanfang, and we will have already recognized the Republic of Lanfang in our previous power. Therefore, I think that the Republic of Lanfang should be able to establish itself independently, and it needs other countries to protect it. Can I go and meet with the officials of the Republic of Lanfang? Henry said.
Henry's idea is very simple, that is, he also wants to meet Liu Enguan, the so-called chairman of the provisional government of the Lanfang Republic, so that he can get on the line with him. At that time, Britain chose to incite Liu Enguan and Wang Guorui to resist, so as to achieve the goal of weakening Taiwan's political justice. Although Lan Fang seems to need Taiwan's protection, she can't do without Taiwan's protection at all, and even their government may be a puppet government. But whoever becomes an official, who doesn't want to be in power, and if he becomes the leader of a country, he is even more unwilling to be a puppet.
So Henry also hopes to incite that Liu Enguan to oppose Wang Guorui, which may have a miraculous effect. Although Liu Enguan has no troops and cannot contain Wang Guorui in terms of military power, he is a target of justice. With it, then Wang Guorui can be regarded as just, if there is no Lan Fang, then Wang Guorui is afraid that the justice of this war will be greatly reduced. At that time, once Lan Fang defects, the so-called Lan Fang Republic openly declares that Taiwan is the aggressor, and Wang Guorui is really not a human being inside and outside. At that time, Wang Guorui will either take the initiative to retreat and make compensation, or he will meet the collective criticism of Western countries. Even, if Wang Guorui does not handle it well, it will give the British a reason. Then I am afraid that once Britain gathers the allied forces of various countries to attack Taiwan, it will also happen.
As long as Lan Fang can take the initiative to turn against Taiwan as an aggressor, this will be half the big thing. Henry's calculations were good, and he thought that the officials of Lan Fang would agree, after all, the British Empire was the most powerful empire on earth. In this era, if the British Empire can support whoever to seize power, the success rate is still very high. And if Liu Enguan is smart enough, he should choose to cooperate with the UK.
But Henry knew that this Lan Fang was just an excuse to stop Wang Guorui, and once they were used, it would be of no use. At that point, you can kick them and let the Dutch destroy them.
And Wang Guorui heard this, of course, he knew the purpose of the British, so he just came up with a voice to refuse. However, the "pig teammate" Dutchman's diplomat, Frings, also took the initiative to speak.
"Mr. Henry, we in the Netherlands will never recognize the so-called Republic of Lanfang, which is an illegal state. The establishment of the Republic of Lanfang was illegal, and it is only recognized by China in this world, and it has not been recognized by the countries of our Western world, so it is illegal. So, Lanfang is not a legal country. Frings said angrily.
And Henry couldn't help but cover his face, obviously completely speechless for his "pig teammate". Would this birdman learn a little bit about history? When Lan Fang founded the country, it was more than a hundred years ago. At that time, the East and the West had not yet been able to formally communicate on a large scale. And at that time, it was the beginning of the industrial revolution in the West, and not many people were able to travel long distances to the East. And the exchange between governments is far less than the development of the private economy, so the establishment of a state in the East at that time did not need to be recognized by the West. This was also recognized by Western countries, and Western countries also adopted a direct recognition attitude towards the establishment of Eastern countries, after all, the Western world could not influence the East at that time.
So. This Frings used the so-called Western world as a reason to deny Lan Fang's legal rights, which is simply absurd. This is like a person who makes a mistake before the age of eighteen, and then when he is eighteen years old, he is judged again according to the law after the age of eighteen. You must know that crimes committed before adulthood can be mitigated, and they are all based on the age at the time of the crime, not the time of arrest.
So. The countries established in the East more than 100 years ago did not need to be recognized by the West, and the West would directly recognize them. But the meaning of this Frings is that more than a hundred years ago, Lan Fang's establishment of a country was also recognized by the Western world, but at that time, where to find something recognized by the Western world.
If we follow this theory, didn't China's Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties all need to be recognized by the Western world before they can build a country? Isn't this! So Henry was almost stunned by this Frings, he didn't understand some international rules, and he didn't even understand the history clearly, so he put it in a rigid way, which was almost like Henry, a British diplomat, almost vomited blood.
"Mr. Frijns, we in the British Empire believe that this Republic of Lanfang should be free from the protection of China, and then be able to establish a state on its own. And they came to this Kalimantan island first, so they should be an independent country. They should be freed from the protection of China, and then they should be able to negotiate their fate with the Dutch on their own, and then agree on the status of both parties! Henry said.
But Frings was still furious: "We will never recognize this Lanfang Republic, and our Kingdom of the Netherlands will not recognize it, let alone we have to discuss the status of both sides with Lanfang!" If so, we'd rather go to war and destroy these rebels! ”
Henry took a deep breath, looked at Frings viciously, and suddenly wanted to slap him. Frins, a stupid guy, can't he see that Lanfang is also under the control of Taiwan now, and the so-called Lanfang Republic is just a "skin" republic? If there is no Taiwan, then they are not fart.
If as long as Taiwan can be forced out, then this so-called Lanfang Republic is not vulnerable at all. The goal of the British is to force away the Taiwanese forces represented by Wang Guorui, and then the Republic of Lanfang is not allowed to be pinched by the Dutch like dough! However, this qiē is to be based on the concept that Lanfang is a sovereign state. If Lanfang is Taiwan's protectorate, then I am afraid that Taiwan will have a reason not to leave. But if Lanfang is a sovereign country, then there is no reason for Taiwan to station troops here. When the time comes, once Britain gives up Lanfang, won't it be left to the Dutch to clean it up?
This is a method that solves the problem without a single soldier, and it is completely bloodless. But the Dutch were so stupid that they couldn't even use a single political trick. As long as they recognize Lan Fang for the time being, then with the help of Britain and the Netherlands, and then establish a sovereign state that looks like it, so that Taiwan will naturally be forced away. At that time, it was easy to let Lanfang and the Netherlands "merge" again, so that becoming one wouldn't be annexed by the end? But the Dutch, who did not even make a temporary nominal compromise, would have been so stubborn.
And Frings said that there was a guò war, but the British were not optimistic that the Dutch would be able to defeat Taiwan. Since there is a way to fight without blood, why not use it? But this Frings is really stupid, incorrigibly stupid, and stubbornly opposes such things. There is no tacit understanding with Henry in such a cooperation, but he often takes the initiative to dismantle the stage, which makes Henry angry.
"Shit!"
Henry cursed, and then immediately left the scene, he couldn't bear this pig teammate at all, if he continued to stay here, then his IQ would be lowered by this guy. This guy is so annoying, his IQ is so low, it's really a wonder in the diplomatic world. Henry has given up cooperating with him, and then Henry plans to solve the Taiwan problem by himself. Henry would rather face Wang Guorui, a "god opponent" with a powerful army, than keep a "pig teammate" by his side and drag his feet. Keeping him can only lower his IQ, and then he will destroy the situation he has formed with great difficulty, so Henry doesn't expect to be able to cooperate with him, and even hide as far as he can!
And Wang Guorui looked at this Frings and laughed in his heart, this Flins is really a "friend of Taiwan"! Originally, Henry had his own plan, and it was the plan that posed the greatest threat to Taiwan. What Taiwan lacks most at present is not its military, but its unstable political foundation. In this war, Taiwan's political foundation was a little unstable, and it was all under the pretext that Lan Fang came to attack Nanyang. But once there is no excuse for Lan Fang, then they will not be able to stand in politics next, and I am afraid they will have to withdraw from the army.
Military affairs are always a continuation of politics, so if Taiwan cannot get a reasonable excuse once it is political, then it will become inevitable to withdraw troops. So Henry's plan was not wrong, but this Frings did not cooperate, which made Henry sit on wax. If Frings can take the initiative to cooperate with Britain, "recognize" that this Lanfang is a sovereign country, and then put pressure on Taiwan together, then although Taiwan may not withdraw its troops immediately, the political pressure will suddenly increase greatly. When the time comes, if several countries are gathered together again, the political pressure on Taiwan will be unprecedentedly huge.
However, the Dutchman stubbornly did not cooperate, and was unwilling to "recognize" Lanfang as a sovereign country, which made it impossible for the British to gather other countries to come over. After all, Indonesia is a colony of the Dutch, and if the Dutch don't open this mouth, then the next plan will not be completed. However, the Dutch were so stupid that they refused to open their mouths to "admit" this Lan Fang for the time being, so that Henry's plan could not go on.
"Sure enough, it's a pig teammate, killing people!" Wang Guorui thought. (To be continued......)
