Chapter 948: The Unwilling Portuguese
Although the Chinese army cut off Macao's land and water communications, it did not cut off electromagnetic communications. At present, there is no way to cut off and suppress electromagnetic waves, so their situation in Macau will soon be known to the Portuguese. The high-ranking officials of Portugal did not dare to take it lightly, and they all hurried up for the meeting despite the time difference. And this Portuguese is even more angry, you must know that the Portuguese are already in decay at this time, and colonies such as Brazil have also become independent. As for the other colonies, there is actually no oil and water to speak of. Although Macau is currently relatively small in land area, it has a good geographical location. Not only did they hold the economically developed place of Guangdong, China, but they were also an important Portuguese colony in Eastern Asia, and it was a place where commerce and trade were very developed. Therefore, although the area is small, the income is not low, so of course the Portuguese are not willing to give up.
But now that the Chinese army had overwhelmed the border, they forced them to go away immediately, which made the Portuguese very unwilling. Macau is an important hub for trade between the East and the West, and its geographical location is very suitable, and it can be used as an important transit for trade between the East and the West. In the past, since the Ming Dynasty, they have also attached great importance to Macao, but now they are actually facing the result of China's repossession, giving up this fat and oily place, how can they be willing? So they got angry right away!
"How can the Chinese be so shameless? How could they do that, when the Chinese government itself signed a treaty that gave us permanent governing power, how could they do that? Someone said angrily.
But someone smiled bitterly and said: "The Chinese have already said that they do not recognize all the treaties of the so-called Manchu Empire, and they say that the Manchu Empire is an aggressor and a bandit." They did not recognize the inheritance of the legal system of the Manchu Empire, nor did they recognize the inheritance of all the debts, treaties, etc., of the Manchu Empire. That's what they did, and they didn't admit it at all, and they didn't continue to pay the so-called reparations. So what can we do? They're now in the crosshairs, what are we going to do? ”
"What to do? We will not hesitate to fight in order to preserve the honor of the Empire! One of the officers shouted.
However, everyone also looked helpless, the Portuguese had already declined, and it was impossible to compare with the rising China at present. They are now at war with China, and they are eating arsenic and living impatiently. At present, Portugal's economic strength and war potential are not at the same level as China's, how many troops can the Portuguese mobilize? There are so many people in Guangdong, China, even if everyone spits on them, they can drown you.
There are not many others in China, that is, there are many people, and the East is China's home field, did they rush over to die? There is no need to worry about logistical supplies or anything, and hundreds of people can also take them out. With a population of 40,000 people as a support group, it is really not so easy to clean up the Portuguese. Although Wang Guorui will not send troops to Europe, taking Portugal is just a matter of an order.
The Portuguese are no longer the Portugal they used to be, they are not vulnerable at all, especially against China.
"Did we just lose our colony? At that time, the British but tens of thousands of troops also forced this China to surrender, and casually let them cede land and pay compensation, they obviously won the war, but they also chose to surrender and admit defeat. Are we going to compromise like this? An officer said unwillingly.
Although the officer shouted very loudly, everyone knew in their hearts that China was no longer the Manchu Qing Dynasty of the past. Moreover, in fact, the strength of the Manchu Qing Dynasty was far stronger than that of the Western countries, and its war potential was actually far stronger than that of the Manchu Qing Dynasty. Population was also a huge advantage, but the Manchus were afraid that their Aixin Jueluo family would lose their right to rule, so they naturally chose to compromise and were unwilling to go to war. But now Wang Guorui is not like this, of course he is not afraid of war, in order to protect the rights and interests of the country, he will not be afraid of war. At least, he was not afraid of a war with Portugal, and if Portugal dared to go to war with China, it would be the Portuguese who would die.
The strength of a country cannot be measured purely from the economic aspect, which is only a reference, not even the most important factor. Population, if you don't look at it, may not be important sometimes, but it will average out the "highland skin". But before the invention of nuclear weapons, the population was real combat effectiveness! When Lao Maozi was called the European steamroller, their economic strength and weapons and equipment were not the best, but they relied on the population advantage to fight to kill countless countries, in the face of this crowd tactics, as long as the gap is not particularly large, as long as the army does not produce a generation gap, it is inevitable to crush the other party. As long as it is not cold weapons against mature hot weapons, or ordinary hot weapons against informationized troops, then there is no obvious generation gap and there are no nuclear weapons, then population is the factor that determines the war potential, and even the most important factor.
With a Chinese population of 400 million, the Portuguese simply cannot compete with China at present. If you get to the east, the crowd tactics are enough to crush the Portuguese to death, and they are not afraid of anything.
"People are not even afraid of the British, what can we do?" Someone complained.
However, it is clear that there are still people who do not give up, saying: "Then can't we unite the countries of Europe and put pressure on them?" ”
"European countries? Are the nations of Europe willing to send millions of troops on expeditions for the benefit of our Portuguese? "Obviously not all of them are idiots.
European countries are now in a lot of dirt behind their backs, the British and French suppress the Germans, the British are too busy to take care of themselves, will unite European countries to clean up the Chinese for the benefit of the Portuguese? Even if they are willing to go on the march, how many troops will it take to defeat the Chinese? If there are fewer troops, it will be in vain. Send more troops, and the logistics will be enough for them to urinate blood in Europe. And before they solved the trump card rocket Lori in Wang Guorui's hand, they didn't dare to send troops at all. This rocket Lori sneak attack logistics is a good hand, and the logistics supply of the hundreds of thousands of Russian troops was not cut off by the rocket Lori? Before there are enough means to contain Rocket Lori, let Rocket Lori sneak attack the enemy's logistics, it won't be too easy. An army of millions without logistical supplies is no different from millions of pigs. Counting on millions of pigs to defeat the prepared Chinese is a joke.
What's more, now that European countries have a lot of dirt behind their backs, it is obviously not so easy to unite Europe, not only in terms of national culture but also in historical conflicts. The Chinese are different, the Chinese culture is almost highly unified, and it can almost be said that it is a single-ethnic country, even a small number of ethnic minorities, all of which are very sinicized. Li Siguang, a Mongolian, didn't know that he was a Mongolian at all, and he was actually the same as the Han people. So the cultural identity is strong, and it's easy to come together.
Unlike scattered Europe, the most valuable thing left by the ancestors of the Chinese is population, that is, culture. They have allowed tens of millions of people to have "one heart", unlike Europeans who are scattered and have their own ghosts. Many people may criticize the ancient cultural policies as feudal dross, but it is precisely these cultures that have made China dominant in the East, allowing them to have countless populations, and to avoid the excessive decline of the ethnic population, thus maintaining China's leadership power. In this ancient agricultural society, population is wealth, and population is the source of all wealth.
Therefore, not to mention how Western countries will fight a war after sending troops, it will be problematic to fight no matter how they fight. Let's just say that they want to be able to get several big countries to come together and send troops to China, which is not so easy. So this time it is impossible for them to confront China, not only is the East China's home turf, but even they can't convince so many countries to send troops to China! The probability of victory after sending troops is also very low, so no country is willing to send troops.
"I thought, since we can't confront China by force, I might as well do it by some other means, what do you think? I think that the Chinese are not completely impossible to deal with the past, as long as we find the right way, it is not impossible to solve it. Someone said.
"What's the solution? Now that the Chinese have pressed their troops to Macau, what should we do? Who do we go to? It is impossible for the British to confront the Chinese for our Macau, especially now that Macao is already meat on the Chinese cutting board, and the Chinese can eat it if they want. And the fact that the Chinese have mastered the Strait of Malacca, we have nothing to do. Not to mention that the Chinese did not control Sumatra, although Sumatra is still the territory of the Dutch, but what is the relationship between the Dutch queen and the Chinese emperor, now no one in the whole of Europe knows, but the difference between the left hand and the right hand. ”
"Hehe, it is precisely because of the relationship between the Chinese emperor and the Dutch queen that we have the opportunity to make a fuss! You know, in our Europe, the marriages between the royal families of various countries are very complicated, breaking the bones and connecting the tendons! So, why can't we be able to do something about it? If you know that we can do something about it, I think it will be the Chinese emperor who will be in a difficult situation at that time. ”
"We can't beat us anyway, and we can't beat them, but with this method, maybe we can force them to back down. Even if it doesn't work, we can ask for more compensation! (To be continued.) )
