Red Alert 1895: Chapter 111 attitude change

"Taiwanese people, our Taiwan has been abandoned by the imperial court, and we are going to become barbarians. But our Chinese sons and daughters will never be willing to become barbarians. We spontaneously formed the Taiwan Anti-Japanese Volunteer Army to fight to defend Taiwan. And Everyone enthusiastically joined the army and fought to protect the lives and property of our people in Taiwan. Thanks to the blessing of God, we have achieved today's results, and we have finally achieved a huge advantage on the battlefield. This is the common cause of our people in Taiwan. It is the result of hard work, and it shows the courage of our Taiwanese people to resist foreign enemies bravely and unyieldingly."

"The Volunteer Army formed by the people of Taiwan has proved with facts that we people in Taiwan have the ability to decide their own destiny. The people of Taiwan have the ability and the right to decide their own future. If anyone dares to rely on the discussions of these few people, he will To slaughter our people in Taiwan without authorization, you have to ask our volunteer army in Taiwan whether they agree, and ask our more than two million people in Taiwan whether they agree!"

Wang Guorui started an impassioned speech, and many "Tuo" below immediately began to applaud violently and shouted. The people in Taiwan, who originally admired Wang Guorui, cheered even more, as if they were loyal fans of Wang Guorui.

And all of this was seen by Dona Le Li Hongzhang Ito Hirobumi. And Wang Guorui's performance is enough to prove that Wang Guorui's absolute leadership in Taiwan is completely the direct controller of Taiwan, not a puppet controlled by the Manchu Central Committee. And this made Donale and Ito Hirobumi really serious, because Wang Guorui has this strength, and he has tens of thousands of elite troops. Moreover, although Donale didn't want to admit it, he said that the elite level and firepower density were already top in the world, and even the Germans were absolutely at a disadvantage in terms of firepower. Wang Guorui's 60,000 troops can completely deal with hundreds of thousands of troops from other countries, because the firepower density of this 60,000 troops is already against the sky.

Although they don't know how Taiwan's weapons came from, it is enough to show that they have their own source channels, and the soldiers are very elite. And this is enough to prove their strength. It is already the strength of the dominant side. Even the British Empire must pay attention to this, so Donale's attitude towards Taiwan is much better. The respect of others is earned through strength, and Taiwan has strength. If you have the strength to decide your own destiny, you will naturally be able to gain everyone's respect. So now everyone is starting to look directly at Taiwan. After all, Taiwan's strength has also been proven. The military strength reflected in the military parade just now is no less than that of Japan.

As for the leader of Taiwan, that is Wang Guorui. Because the situation just now is obvious. That is to say, Wang Guorui is the leader of Taiwan, and the people in Taiwan trust him very much, so Wang Guorui is also the representative of Taiwan.

"Leader Wang, the Taiwanese army under your command is indeed very good, and has reached a world-class level!" Dou Nale said.

Now Dou Nale also honored Wang Guorui as "the leader", but Ito Hirobumi's face was dark, obviously very unhappy. Ito Hirobumi already knew that Taiwan would not be able to regain it this time, so Ito Hirobumi was also very depressed. As for the next step, everyone is just discussing how to end this war "decently". After all, Japan can no longer fight this war, and the Taiwan side represented by Wang Guorui actually doesn't want to fight anymore. Therefore, finding a way to end the war decently for both sides is considered passable.

However, Ito Hirobumi still wants to make a final effort.

"Minister Donale, we believe that the treaty is sacred and cannot be violated. Since Taiwan was ceded to Japan by China, it should be our Japanese territory. Since the British Empire is the leader of the world, it should be for the righteous side. So I also ask the British Empire to help Japan and return to Taiwan. It is best for the British Empire to use force as a deterrent, otherwise, is there any need for justice in the world?" Hirobumi Ito asked.

Ito Hirobumi speaks for justice, as if he is the one who makes sense. And Ito Hirobumi just wanted to pull Britain into the water. In this way, if Britain sends troops to deal with Wang Guorui, there may be hope for Taiwan to return. Therefore, when Ito Hirobumi said this, he actually just wanted to ask to return to Taiwan. The prerequisite is that Britain is willing to send troops. As long as the United Kingdom is willing to send troops, then the United Kingdom can completely let the United Kingdom fight Taiwan for itself, so maybe it should be able to fight.

"I will report this matter to the country, and the specific decision is still made by the country!" Don Nale said very coldly.

In his heart, Donal thought: "Let us send troops from the British Empire, are you kidding me!"

Although Dou Nale will report to China, he is 100% sure that China will not seek Taiwan. And it was the Japanese who sent troops to Taiwan. Judging from the situation just now, Wang Guorui's army is extremely elite, much more elite than the German army. In addition, weapons are the best in the world, and it is impossible to send troops to fight without more than ten times the strength. Therefore, Dou Nale can already be sure in his heart that there will be no troops in the country. After all, it would take an army of at least 600,000 to have the confidence to defeat Wang Guorui, but the logistical supplies and even various material needs of the 600,000 army were huge. Maybe, if it is beaten into a protracted war, I am afraid that Britain will fall. So the Brits are not idiots, fighting for Taiwan. Moreover, this Taiwan is not its own, it belongs to the Japanese. Why does the UK have to pay so much for the benefit of the Japanese? The relationship between Britain and Japan has not yet reached this point.

What's more, the signing of the treaty is for tearing up. As long as the strength is enough, there is nothing strange about tearing up the treaty. After all, Taiwan is now powerful, and its military strength is even stronger than that of Japan. It is normal to tear up the treaty, and Dona Le will not be surprised. If Taiwan is still stronger than Japan and surrenders to Japan, then Dou Nale suspects that the leaders of Taiwan are really out of their minds. Of course, Don Nale would not say that tearing up the treaty is just. Anyway, it is enough to understand this kind of thing in your heart, and you don't need to say it directly. After all, there are some things that can be done but cannot be said. And some things must be put on a high-sounding reason, so that you can get the most benefits for yourself.

"I think I'll also say a few words..." Li Hongzhang wanted to say something.

But Dou Nale said: "Master Li Hongzhang, you should go to rest. The specific matters will be discussed by the leaders of Taiwan and Japan, and we, the British Empire, will be the coordinator to watch and witness. Taiwanese have the power to decide Taiwan's own destiny. Then So you don’t have to worry about your Chinese mainland government’s paranoia. Moreover, your China has signed an agreement to cede Taiwan to Japan. From a legal point of view, Taiwan has nothing to do with your China, so now it’s just Taiwan and Japan. Relationship to solve, your Chinese mainland government has nothing to do with Taiwan, understand?"

Dou Nale was also very indifferent to Li Hongzhang, because Li Hongzhang didn't have many cards in his hand. At that time, Li Hongzhang ceded Taiwan to Japan on behalf of China, which meant that the mainland government of the Qing Dynasty gave up its sovereignty over Taiwan. Then, according to public international law, the relationship between Taiwan and Japan is still to be determined. In short It has nothing to do with the Qing mainland government. Li Hongzhang had nothing to do with it from a legal point of view, and he couldn't beat the Japanese army in terms of strength, so Li Hongzhang had almost no right to speak. If Li Hongzhang wants strength but not strength, and if he wants legal principles but not legal principles, it is normal for Doona to be happy or not.

And Li Hongzhang looked at Wang Guorui, hoping that Wang Guorui could give him some face as an important minister of the Qing Dynasty. But Wang Guorui pretended not to see it, apparently not trusting Li Hongzhang. According to Wang Guorui's understanding, the central government of the Qing Dynasty must not be allowed to participate in this discussion. Once the central government of the Qing Dynasty is allowed to join in, all good things can turn into bad things. The central government of the Manchu Qing Dynasty was definitely a group of "pig teammates". What was originally a good thing could turn into a bad thing. Don't be afraid of opponents who are like gods, but teammates who are like pigs~www.mtlnovel.com~ This sentence is not casual. In fact, the Qing Dynasty had fought some victories, but it was because the people in the central government were too incompetent, which ruined the results obtained on the battlefield. This kind of person is not a pig teammate, so what is it? If Li Hongzhang is allowed to join in, Wang Guorui doesn't know what will happen! Anyway, at the level of the top management of the Manchu Qing Central Committee, it will only make things worse, and there will be no better situation.

"Come here, take Mr. Li Hongzhang to take a rest and visit the scenery of our Taiwan. We must make him feel at home." Wang Guorui said.

"Yes! Master Li, please!" Someone said immediately.

Taiwanese people don't like Li Hongzhang who betrayed Taiwan, so they are very rude. Anyway, few Taiwanese have a good impression of Li Hongzhang, so they are very rude when speaking.

And Li Hongzhang looked at Wang Guorui sullenly. Wang Guorui didn't give him face so much, which made him very "hurt". Li Hongzhang also had a high status in China, and he was respected even when he went abroad, but Wang Guorui was so rude, this didn't take him seriously at all. And Wang Guorui didn't care about him, and continued to prepare to discuss the next issue with Ito Hirobumi. (To be continued.) xh118
