Chapter 678: Proxy War

After Yi Xin left the palace, he immediately sent people to the legations of Britain, France and the United States, which became the last straw of the Qing Dynasty.

At this time, the French Minister Bourblon and the American Minister Mailian were in the British Legation, and not long ago, they had come at the invitation of the British Minister Bowling.

The warm room was filled with smoke, and Bao Ling first gave a detailed description of the current form, and then said: "Gentlemen, according to our judgment, the unification of China by the Democratic Alliance is inevitable, I wonder what you think about this matter?" ”

On the one hand, China has been reunified and prospered, which is obviously a huge market.

On the other hand, although France and the United States are temporarily in a honeymoon period with the Democratic Alliance, and they are happy to make money from China, do they really want to see China strong? A fat and weak China is in the best interests of the West.

Bao Ling smiled coldly, and said: "I give you a free piece of news, Manila was broken by the Democratic Alliance as early as mid-October last year, and nearly 50,000 Spanish troops and expatriates, including nearly 100,000 Manila natives, were all slaughtered, and the Democratic Alliance Army supported the Chinese in Manila to establish the Luzon Democratic Republic.

Soon after, the NLD fleet went to Mindanao again, and the old trick was repeated, slaughtering 80,000 Spaniards and Turks, and helping the local Chinese to establish the Democratic Republic of Mindan! ”

"What?" Mai Lian and Bourblon jumped up from their chairs in shock, and even Bourbulon's ivory pipe fell to the ground crisply, but he couldn't care about the distress, and his green eyes stared at Bao Ling.

This is shocking news, and it means the end of centuries of Spanish colonial rule in the Philippines. And in Southeast Asia, in addition to Lanfang, there are two more Chinese countries, so where should it be next? Is it the Indonesian islands of the Dutch, or the Indochina of the French, or even India or Australia?

Especially what happened last October. At the end of February, it came out of Bao Ling's mouth that the United States and France were actually kept in the dark!

Mai Lian muttered: "We have special personnel stationed in Manila in various European countries, and last month there was a combined fleet asking for help in Manila, how could there be no news at all. ”

"It's obvious, huh?" Bao Ling tilted his head, made a gesture to wipe his neck, and then added: "Or, under house arrest." ”

There was a hint of coldness on the faces of Mai Lian and Bourblon. They don't care about the massacre of the Spaniards by the Democratic Alliance forces, but if they kill the American and French diplomats in Manila, this is a big deal, and it is a slap in the face of Chi Guoguo!

Bao Ling easily saw through the thoughts of these two people, and said in a deep voice: "Gentlemen, Napoleon once said that China is a sleeping lion in the East, and now this lion has woken up. is showing his fangs to the countries of the world, he is in Vietnam. He slaughtered the Vietnamese, he slaughtered the Malays in Singapore, and he slaughtered the local natives and Spaniards in the Philippines.

Note that Spaniards are also Caucasian. The massacre of the Spaniards by the NLD is a very bad sign, he can slaughter the Spaniards now, and maybe in the future, when the national strength is further advanced, he will dare to openly slaughter the British, Americans, or French, and support the Chinese countries in Southeast Asia. Kill all the white races and expel the European power completely.

I can imagine that in a few years, Europe will lose the rich raw materials and vast markets of Southeast Asia, squeeze into the African continent and fight desperately, and Europe's national strength will gradually decline, and it is even possible to be beaten back to the original form of the Middle Ages!

Therefore, I hope that France and the United States government will not be confused by a small profit, especially France, once the NLD forces take control of the Strait of Malacca, your colonies in Indochina will be eaten away sooner or later.

The two of you should understand that Mr. Wang Feng is a very terrible opponent, he is vicious, mercenary, and deceives European and American countries in the cloak of friendship, but in essence he is a complete nationalist, he is the Bolivar of the Far East, and even greater than the Bolivar threat, and each of us should face up to the threat brought by the rise of China! ”

Mai Lian and Bourblon are terrified, who is not afraid of the rise of a country with an area of more than 10 million square kilometers and a population of 400 million? China's population alone is equivalent to the population of all of Europe and the United States combined!

Although Russia is larger than China, Russia is a backward serfdom country, while China follows the socialist road, and his socialism is very different from the socialism advocated by Karl and others to wage violent class struggle.

He paid attention to the joint government of the workers and peasants, the bourgeoisie, and the gentry of the county, and used the method of negotiation to resolve internal contradictions and differences, and twisted forces into a rope; from the present point of view, this system is obviously much superior to the capitalist system implemented in Europe and the United States, and he has eliminated internal injustice to the greatest extent.

Under the leadership of the Democratic League, democracy and the legal system have been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and bottom-up supervision has curbed rampant corruption, social order has been in order, and science and technology and productive forces have exploded in a spurt, presenting a thriving scene.

At the same time, in terms of population, Russia has a population of only tens of millions, and a lot of land is uninhabited, so it is not a heavyweight opponent with China.

But China, like Russia, has a strong expansion**, how long has the Democratic Alliance been established? He can't wait to annex the central and northern parts of Vietnam, if he develops it, will he blossom in all directions?

Russia is backward in science and technology, its national strength is limited, and the pace of expansion will always stop one day, and now there is a trend of the end of the crossbow, in fact, the threat to Europe is limited, and China, as an emerging country that is strong in science and technology and economic aspects, what is the limit of its expansion? No one knows the bottom of their hearts!

Mai Lian asked, "So what do we do?" Do you want to send coalition forces again? Given the lessons of this war, I think it will be difficult for parliaments to approve the decision to send troops. ”

Burblon also said: "Aren't you British ready to push for the independence of Singapore? This is a good method, as long as Singapore is not controlled by the Democratic Alliance, our fleet can always travel to and from Southeast Asia, and as long as the British are really willing to give up Singapore, I will get the French government to support Singapore's independence. ”

"Me too!" Mai Lian nodded.

"Nope! That's not enough! Bao Ling waved his hand: "Just to make Xingjiapo independent, it seems too passive, this is equivalent to giving up the initiative to Wang Feng, we also need to make trouble for the Democratic Alliance and mix sand." ”

"Huh?" Burbulon hurriedly asked, "How to mix?" Looking at the whole world, apart from us in Europe and the United States, who else is the opponent of the Democratic Alliance? The natives of Southeast Asia are lazy and loose, and they have no combat effectiveness at all, so we can't send troops ourselves, right? ”

"No, no, no, of course not!" Bao Ling smiled sinisterly: "It is impossible for our parliament to let our soldiers come to China to die, and Europe is too far away from China, and the cost of the labor expedition is too high, but we can help the Democratic Alliance erect two enemies and fight a proxy war, the first agent is Russia, China and Russia are both land powers, and both have strong expansion**, sooner or later they will collide together."

We can convince our government to push forward this collision period, and because Russia is relatively backward, we can also provide Russia with appropriate military assistance, of course, the Russians are notoriously treacherous, and they must show determination and sincerity to be enemies of China in order to be eligible for assistance from Europe and the United States. ”

"Good!" Mai Lian screamed: "Both countries are greedy barbarians, it's best to let them eat dogs, so what about the next agent?" ”

"Japan!" Bowling pointed to the east.

"Japan?" Mai Lian was stunned and said: "Japan's land is small, resources are scarce, the social form is in the feudal period of the hegemony of the candidates, the emperor has no real power, the power is in the hands of the Tokugawa family, and there are more than a dozen daimyo under the Tokugawa family, many of them have bad intentions, the social order is chaotic, measured by our Western standards, Japan is an out-and-out failed country, and China is moving towards success, how can such a country be China's opponent?" And how dare you go to war with China? Don't forget, even we, the European and American countries, have to temporarily avoid the sharpness of the Democratic Alliance! ”

Bao Ling shrugged his shoulders: "I regret your one-sided view of Japan, I can only say that you don't understand Japan, the Japanese nation, living on an island with frequent volcanic eruptions, they are always worried that there will be a super earthquake to devastate the Japanese islands, so the Japanese are a little nervous, and also have a strong sense of crisis and expansion**."

Historically, Japan has waged three wars of aggression against Korea, taking place in the 2nd to 4th centuries AD, the 7th century AD, and most recently at the end of the 16th century.

But he was unfortunate to be a neighbor of China, and China could not sit idly by while Japan's ambitions succeeded, and China's size was far from being comparable to Japan's, and every time the pace of Japanese expansion was aborted by Chinese intervention, forcing the Japanese to live on small islands, I can say with great certainty that Japan harbored a generational, historical hatred for China.

Let's take a closer look at whether Japan can profit from a series of protective agreements with the Chinese government as the Chinese countries in Southeast Asia have done if China is strong. We can cite Mr. Wang Feng's attitude towards Japan as a reference.

Five years ago, the East India Company failed to fight the NLD forces, gentlemen, do you know the whereabouts of nearly 20,000 Indian prisoners of war? Three years ago, Wang Feng gathered thousands of blacks in Guangzhou, and then disappeared without a trace, where did these blacks go, do you know? ”

"I don't know." Bulblon and Mai Lian shook their heads with puzzled faces.

Bao Ling smiled coldly: "According to the reliable information obtained by our intelligence officers, Indian prisoners of war and blacks were sent to Japan by Wang Feng, and weapons were also issued to help train the army, and we have every reason to suspect that a few years ago near Nagasaki, Japan, a bloody massacre of the whole city was related to the Democratic Alliance Army, can you think of anything?"
