Chapter 487: I Got to Know You Wearing a Vest (Part II)
Soon, the British didn't declare war on Taiwan, let alone the Manchus, the so-called central government of China. Moreover, the British consul also threatened, which means that since those people are "volunteers", there is nothing to worry about Taiwan, and they are just volunteers. And although everyone knows what is going on, everyone also regards her as a "volunteer army", not a regular army, and both sides are here to no avail. The reason why the British are like this is actually because he is very contemptuous of the Boers, he thinks that the Boers will not be able to hold on for long, and even if there is a part of the so-called "volunteer army", it is only surviving, and it cannot really be regarded as a powerful army. So the British decided to clean up the Boers first, and only then Taiwan. However, they don't know that in another year or two, Taiwan will not be something he can easily clean up.
"There are two big countries, and when they intervene together in the civil war of a small country, one side is wearing the vest of the United Nations army. And the so-called United Nations Army, which is a group of multiple countries, and then their job is to maintain peace, and they interfere with their government in the name of maintaining peace. However, they were formed with the army of Great Power B as the main body, and the armies of other countries were just a foil. However, they are United Nations troops, which makes many people feel that they can not be invaded by one country. ”
"As for the other big country armor, they don't send regular troops to help fight, so they also use the name of volunteers to fight. This seems to be volunteering to help that small country fight, so in fact, two big countries are directly fighting, but everyone has put on vests. One side used the vests of the United Nations Army, while the other side used the vests of the Volunteer Army, so that it appeared that there had been no war between the two powers. ”
"You can think about it. If there is a war between two great powers, it will also involve great power A's friend great power C, and that great power B will also involve its own hardcore ally, great power Ding. Then, a succession of small countries will also be dragged into the water, and such a great war that will engulf the whole world will break out. And at that time, no matter whether it was a big country, a big country, a big country, or a big country, they didn't want to be involved in this kind of. And the big country A and the big country B. They also all know that they do not want a direct fight, at least not in the name of their respective countries. As long as there is no war between the two sides, it will not become the fuse of a world war, and the war will be limited to the scope of that small country, and will not cause a major war in the whole world. ”
Wang Guorui explained to everyone the matter of China's resistance to US aggression and aid Korea in the later generations, in fact, there was a war between China and the United States a long time ago, and they had already broken out into war. But they all wore vests, on the one hand, they wore the vests of the United Nations Army, and on the other hand, they wore the vests of the Volunteer Army. And the benefits of this kind of vest are self-evident. Two direct wars can be avoided. Therefore, strictly speaking, from a legal point of view, there has never been a war between the two sides. Many people think that war broke out between China and the United States during the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, but in fact, from the perspective of international law and legal theory, the two sides actually did not break out into war, because in fact, they were both wearing vests.
This is also political hypocrisy, although the two sides have long been fighting to the death, but they are unwilling to take the initiative to declare war in name. Sometimes, the "name" of politics is more important than the facts. China and Japan had been fighting for a long time, and they had been fighting to the death for a long time, but in fact the two sides did not declare war. And because China wanted to get the support of Germany back then. However, Germany was an ally of Japan, and in the event of a nominal war between China and Japan. Then Germany will cut off China's support. Therefore, in order to retain Germany, a country that supports supplies, it is naturally impossible to declare war. It was not until later when various countries went to war against Japan that China had the courage to declare war on Japan. This is also a political factor.
"Lord Wang, do you mean that the British will not declare war on us?" Hu Wei asked.
Wang Guorui said with great certainty: "Yes, the British will not declare war on us. Because Taiwan is not a subject of one country, it is impossible for them to declare war on our Taiwan. Once the British declared war on our Taiwan. That would inevitably mean a declaration of war with the Manchu court. What will the Manchus do at that time, they will certainly not be able to resist the British, they will definitely unite with us. Therefore, once the imperial court unites with us, then I am afraid that we can all take the opportunity to enter the central government, and China will be ours at that time. As long as we are willing to take a step back. Then we can also read that we can solve this problem. And the British will not fail to see this, so they will not choose to declare war on the Manchus, and once they declare war on the Manchus, it means that they will force the Manchus to unite with us. ”
"That's fine, it's okay if you don't choose that." Hu Wei said.
In South Africa, on the other hand, the British were forming a circle to defend themselves against the Boer attack. And the Chinese mercenaries in South Africa are also under the banner of "Volunteer Army", so that they can also seem to be a simple volunteer army. In this way, it seems that everyone is wearing vests, and it has nothing to do with the Chinese government. And those British, looking at the banner of the Chinese volunteers, immediately began to curse.
"I said how could the Boers be so powerful, it turned out that the Chinese were fighting for them." "Yes! How the Chinese could appear in the Boer army, this is incredible. "The provocation of the Chinese against our British Empire." ……
And in Cai Ben's office, the British were scolding.
"It is unreasonable that your Chinese government actually sent troops to attack. Your Chinese army is so provocative against our British Empire, and our British Empire will let you go! The Englishman's messenger said.
But Cai Ben immediately said: "We are all volunteers, do you know what a volunteer army is?" The volunteer army is also a volunteer army that comes to help them fight the war, and there is no appointment from any country or government, so we are all volunteers. ”
The British envoy's heart was like 10,000 grass and mud horses passing by, because the statement of this volunteer army was too deceitful. This is simply an insult to his intelligence, have you ever seen such a well-armed volunteer army that almost many people have a Stern submachine gun? Have you ever seen a volunteer army that is so familiar with war and is completely professional? This is obviously an insult to their intelligence, and they are all very depressed about it anyway.
"Don't think I don't know you when you're dressed, don't say you're wearing clothes, I know you even when you're undressed." The envoy of the British said angrily.
"In that case, then you can do it!" Cai Ben said.
The British have no way to say anything about Wang Guorui's volunteers, because they are not ready for war against Taiwan. If they wanted to start a war against Taiwan, without more than 300,000 troops, the British did not have the slightest confidence that they would be able to defeat Taiwan. And they can't go out on their own, they naturally have to share the pressure, for example, to pull in the Germans and the French, as well as the Russians, and they will not let go of the Japanese, because Japan and Taiwan have a big enmity, so if the British want to start a war against Taiwan, they will definitely not take the initiative to bear it themselves, but will pull many countries to fight together. In this way, not only can Taiwan be isolated and find allies for itself, but also can allow oneself to achieve the idea of sharing risks and pressures.
The British know that Taiwan is not a soft persimmon, so they either don't fight, or they just pull all countries together to fight. If the British attack Taiwan on their own, the risk is still not small, especially if Wan drags down his own national strength, it will really outweigh the losses. There is an organization behind Taiwan that doesn't know what, and that feels even more terrifying. The British have spent so long not figuring out what this organization is, so the British are very worried. The British will definitely continue to investigate in the future, but cracking down on the outcropping person in Taiwan must also have his own purpose.
However, it is not so easy to unite other countries, because it is not easy for the British to get the Germans and the French to stand together to fight Taiwan. On the other hand, if many countries need to send troops, there will definitely be a lot of political discussions, which is also a very important issue. Therefore, if all countries want to unite to fight against Taiwan, this is certainly not so easy. There are also many contradictions between them, and it is not so easy to resolve them because of this matter.
And they must have an opportunity, and it must be that Taiwan infringes on the interests of all countries at the same time, so that they can temporarily unite in the case of a common enemy. Otherwise, it will definitely not work without this opportunity, after all, the contradictions of various countries are not so easy to reconcile. However, the opportunity that the British were looking forward to, they did not know when it would come, and this was the idea of the British. If the British did not have this opportunity, their idea of uniting other countries to wage war against Taiwan would not be realized, so the opportunity is very important. Now that the British do not have this opportunity, they will naturally not easily start a war against Taiwan. Once the war starts, the British will fight against Taiwan alone, the risk is too great, and the benefits are too small, and this loss-making deal is not what the "smart people" of the British want.
