Not all countries can wage war.

In war, the attacker often has to be ten times more militarily powerful than the defender to win.

In other words, the aggressor's military strength is often 10 times that of the aggressor.

However, in both world wars in history, Germany made the mistake of military adventurism. For the attacker to win the war, at least ensure that there are no obvious weaknesses compared to the defender.

In both world wars, the German Navy was significantly weaker than the British Navy. It was for this reason that the mighty German Army never had the opportunity to show its strength in Britain.

The victorious army wins first and then seeks battle, and the defeated army fights first and then seeks victory.

Wilhelm II, Hitler, Hideki Tojo and Saddam clearly did not understand the meaning of this sentence.

In the Gulf War, the Kosovo War, the Afghanistan War, and the Iraq War, the United States did a very good job of "winning the army first and then seeking war." At that time, few people doubted that the United States would win these four wars, only to discuss how much to lose.

It is true that the United States "bullies the weak and fears the hard," because the United States can use 10 times the military strength of the "soft enemy" to wage a war, but it is difficult to use 10 times the military strength of the "strong enemy" to fight a war.

But not every war needs a "won" outcome. It can be defeated first and then won, or it can be defeated militarily and politically.

This is still true today.

The Red Guard Corps had an advantage over the Dutch colonial army to the point of sure victory, and it was not surprising that they defeated the Dutch, just how much they lost.

Even if the Dutch Kingdom tried to save anything, it would be beyond the reach of the whip, and by the time the Dutch Kingdom sent troops on an expedition, it would probably be months or even half a year later, when the Dutch East Indies would be completely history, and a new empire would already be standing on this rich archipelago.

The impermanence of war, especially in the face of huge interests, can always add to the uncertainty of war.

The great powers that are eyeing each other are based on the desire for profit of the great powers of various countries, and they pose a great threat to the Red Guard Corps.

For a month, the Kingdom of the Netherlands made no visible moves, even though the Red Guard had fully occupied the entire Dutch East Indies.

It stretches from the Strait of Malacca in the north to Dutch New Guinea and the entire island of Timor-Leste in the south.

Both north and south were close to the British colonies, especially on the island of New Guinea.

The Red Guard occupied all of the territory of Dutch Guinea, but on the island of Guinea, part of the northeast was a German protectorate, and the southeastern part of the island was a British colony.

The tripartite gathering in the whole of Guinea is not a small matter. Because at this time, Britain had not yet decided whether to intervene in this war within the Dutch colonies.

On the other side of the colonial war, Borneo also became another possible flashpoint of conflict between the Red Guard and the British colonies.

Borneo was a small area along the northern coast of the British colony that was less than the central part, and most of the area was colonized by the Dutch.

The rapid action of the Red Guard Corps in this era of inefficient response, the British colonial army in Borneo quickly took control of all the land of Dutch Borneo before they knew what to do.

Dutch Borneo is the island with the largest concentration of Chinese in Southeast Asia, in the early years of Daoguang, there were more than 150,000 Chinese in southern Borneo, and now 80 years have passed, and the total number of Chinese in southern Borneo has exceeded 300,000.

The main industry of the Chinese in Borneo is mineral development, which is also the main industry that the Dutch have always tried to encroach upon.

And in the past month, Britain and France have not made any moves, and they have been constantly spying on the various situations in the Dutch colony at the moment.

The collection of intelligence, over the course of a month, was continuously summarized into a rather detailed report, which was submitted to 10 Downing Street.

Prime Minister Balfour, who has been in office for a year, convened his cabinet to discuss the matter.

According to the information gathered, the other side of the war in the Dutch colonies was a professional army composed of Chinese, who had a complete army structure, perfect tactics of action, and flexible soldiers, and with the cooperation of Chinese everywhere, they often defeated the Dutch army very easily.

According to the intelligence gathered, this mysterious Chinese army, with many warships of more mysterious origin, easily destroyed the entire combat effectiveness of the Royal Dutch Navy in Southeast Asia in the event of an attack. Unfortunately, our intelligence officers have not collected detailed information about this fleet, and cannot determine the combat effectiveness and number of the opposing warships, and the only thing that can be determined is that even in the case of a sneak attack, it can sink all the Royal Dutch Navy, which is enough to pose a huge threat to our fleet.

The detailed combat capability of this mysterious Chinese army cannot be accurately determined, the number is not less than 60,000, the weapons and equipment are all of the world-class level, and the weapons and equipment used are not the standard equipment of the countries in service, so it can be concluded that no other power has intervened or supported this matter......

Detailed information was read out, and in this month's intelligence gathering, although the British did not collect the most detailed information, they also investigated the general situation.

At this time, Britain did not have a well-established intelligence agency, and only relied on the control of the colonies and the intelligence from merchants.

After reporting on the investigation, a cabinet member in charge of the intelligence investigation stood up and added: "It's hard to believe that a mysterious army that has never appeared before has a naval fleet that is not from the major powers, and has unique weapons and equipment, so it is clear that this mysterious Chinese army has a complete military industry, and even a research and development team that is not inferior to the powers." ”

"The R&D team, the industrial base, and the military industry, if you start from scratch, will also need many years of development and construction, and it is not a simple matter to build the supporting facilities needed for a warship."

Speaking of this, the official in charge of intelligence suddenly became serious: "According to our combination of other intelligence, we have found one that I believe everyone is very interested in. This intelligence has a certain relationship with the United States, because the main source of this intelligence is the result of a US investigation into the large number of international purchases that occurred several years ago. ”

Hearing this, everyone in the cabinet meeting became more serious.

Combined with the information obtained earlier, the mysterious army, the source of weapons and equipment, and the involvement of the United States and the large-scale purchase of industrial equipment several years ago, people can't help but associate it.
