Chapter 1228: The Man Behind the Scenes

For Haihan, every country in the South China Sea is a trade partner that can be fought for, including Portugal and the Netherlands, with which Haihan have been at war. For example, Johor has had wars with Portugal, Sumatra, Aceh, Siam and other countries, and its predecessor, Malacca, was destroyed by the Portuguese.

Historically, the island occupied by Haihan was also the territory of the Kingdom of Malacca, and after the Portuguese razed it to the ground, the Kingdom of Johor, which inherited the heritage of the Kingdom of Malacca, used it as a buffer zone with the Portuguese territory. But they didn't expect to suddenly kill a Haihan to occupy this place, and the Johor Kingdom would naturally be deeply dissatisfied with this, but they also knew that Portugal had been defeated by Haihan, and they couldn't even beat Portugal, and the chance of winning the war with Haihan was even slimmer.

"Johor Nation...... It shouldn't be our opponent, right?" Although Tan Juren doesn't know much about the strength of Nanyang's affairs, he thinks that this Johor country was once beaten by the Portuguese, and its strength should not be much stronger.

"If you want to start a war on the frontal battlefield, this battalion under my command will be enough to carry the strength of the whole country!" Roger was very confident in his own strength, and said eloquently: "The army of Johor is still a relatively primitive way of fighting, and the weapons are basically cold weapons, and there are no warships available, and the threat that can be created to us is also limited. ”

"In that case, then what's there to be nervous about? If the Johor Kingdom didn't know its own weight, it would probably have done something to us a long time ago, right?" Tan Juren asked puzzled. The military strength of Johor is far inferior to that of Haihan, and it is just asking for trouble to start a war rashly, and the military commanders of both sides should be well aware of this, so they can maintain the current embarrassing state of peace. 、

"Johor alone will definitely not dare to provoke us. The problem now is that someone may be pushing Johor to come out and be the first bird. Roger gave an example: "For example, give them some benefits, give them some military assistance. ”

"Who is so bold?" Tan Juren said in surprise: "There are still people in the South China Sea who dare to jump like this?"

Roger asked rhetorically, "Then who do you think it will be?"

Tan Juren's first thought was naturally the rivals Portugal and the Netherlands, two old maritime powers with great influence in the Far East, and before the emergence of the Haihan, they had even opened up maritime trade routes in Northeast Asia, extending their tentacles to the Ming Dynasty and Dongying. If it weren't for the sudden rise of Haihan that interrupted the course of history, the two countries would certainly be in much better shape now. Although they currently maintain a peaceful relationship with the Haihan, this peace is more based on the fact that the Haihan's military strength is stronger than theirs, and it is completely a peace that is fought by war.

These two countries are watching Haihan encroach on their control areas in the South China Sea little by little, and no one will be willing to be squeezed out by competitors in this way, and it is reasonable for them to want to do something in secret. And pushing another country out to be cannon fodder and create some trouble for Haihan as the mastermind behind the scenes seems to be a safer approach. The most important thing is that these two countries have the ability to produce muskets and artillery, and they have a clear advantage over the local countries that are still in the era of cold weapons, and it is estimated that no country can withstand such a temptation to provide military assistance.

But Tan Juren thought about it again, Portugal and Johor have a great enmity that cannot be resolved, these two countries can be said to be mortal enemies, and the possibility of cooperation in this matter is too small, so there is only one suspect left.

"Is it the Dutch?" Tan Juren said angrily: "I have long known that these red-haired ghost dogs can't change their, and when the combined fleet went south the year before last, they should take advantage of the situation to destroy Batavia and completely expel the Dutch from the South China Sea!"

Roger shook his head unexpectedly and said, "It's not the Dutch, on the contrary, the relevant information we got was provided by the Dutch on their own initiative." ”
