Chapter 673: Differentiation and Disintegration
"Immediately order the guards to break out of their encirclement!" Seymour shouted.
The guards of the headquarters of the Eight-Nation Coalition rushed towards the troops of the Marine Division of Li Yuanhong, but they were all in vain, and they were soon repulsed by the Marine Division, and then forced to retreat to the headquarters. And the Marine Division began to surround the headquarters of the Eight-Nation Alliance, so that the high-ranking officers of the Eight-Nation Alliance Army were also besieged one after another, and they could not move and retreat at all.
"Division Commander Li, should we attack, they are all annihilated? These are high-ranking officers of the headquarters of the Eight-Nation Alliance, and there is also a British, and a Japanese marshal, should we wipe them all out? If they are all wiped out, then we can get amazing feats! Someone said right away.
Li Yuanhong shook his head and said: "The boss has already said that it is better to let them go than to annihilate them, so keep them alive and let the boss take over!" ”
Soon, an official from Taiwan's foreign affairs department immediately came over, and then took the initiative to walk into the headquarters of the Eight-Nation Alliance, and then prepared to hold talks.
"Commander Seymour, I am the deputy director of Taiwan's Liaison Office for Foreign Friendship, but it may not be long before I can become the vice minister of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, my name is Li Enfu." Li Enfu said.
Li Enfu did not hide his future plan, that is, he could change from the director of the Liaison Office for Foreign Friendship to the vice minister of foreign affairs, so that he could be regarded as an official of a local foreign affairs department to an official of the central foreign affairs department, representing the interests of the whole country, and this is the difference.
"Director Li, what exactly do you want to do? What exactly do you Chinese want to do? Seymour asked.
Li Enfu replied: "Commander Seymour, I want to ask you what you are doing?" This is our Chinese territory, how can your foreign troops appear on our Chinese territory? ”
"We are here to protect overseas Chinese. And help you China clean up the mob! Seymour said.
Although what the Eight-Nation Coalition is going to do this time, both sides are very clear. However, the Eight-Nation Coalition used the excuse of cleaning up the mob as a pretext for the invasion, and the Russians, the Japanese, and the Americans all had their own interests and hoped to benefit from China. The Russians sent the most troops from the northeast and north, receiving more than half a million in total, while the Japanese also had more than 100,000. There are about 90,000 Americans. These three countries are the countries that most hope to get benefits from China, and other countries, including the British, are also mainly soy sauce.
"General Seymour, don't you think you're overstepping? Our Chinese criminals must be dealt with by us in China, and we do not need your foreign military to deal with them. If this is the case, our Chinese police will go to your UK to enforce the law, will you all be willing? Li Enfu asked rhetorically.
"But you China not only connived at these criminals, but also have no power to suppress them, so we eight countries naturally have the obligation to protect the interests of our overseas people! If we are not able to defend the interests of our diaspora. Then we will naturally not rest assured, and naturally we will come to protect overseas Chinese. Unless you can defend the interests of our diaspora, then our British Empire will not rest on its laurels! Seymour shouted angrily.
"Yes, we will not rest in our countries! China must compensate us for our losses, otherwise we will not give up, and our Empire of Japan will definitely not give up! "Akashi Genjiro immediately came out at this time and pretended.
And the generals of several other countries did not speak, first of all, Italy and Austria-Hungary were obviously here to play soy sauce, and what the British and Germans were going to do. They all followed. And the Germans were obviously absent-minded, and this time the Germans only sent 500 men. This number is just symbolic. The French, the French have been completely annihilated, and naturally there are no French anymore.
The Russian generals immediately said angrily: "You are a provocation to our Russian Empire, you must meet all the requirements of our great Russian Empire, otherwise the 500,000 troops of our Russian Empire will set foot on your China, and then completely destroy your China!" ”
The Russian general was clearly aware of their 500,000-strong army in the north. The bile is very coarse. However, people who really understand military affairs will not take the 500,000 Russian army seriously at all, and it is okay to bully the Manchu Qing Dynasty, but it is impossible to bully Taiwan's army. Taiwan's army doesn't need to do much at all, as long as it sticks to it and doesn't give the Russians a chance. Their weak logistics department and line will also kill them, there is no need to rush at all, just wait for them to collapse by themselves.
"I now want you to order your army to surrender, or we will attack you. And, in order to avoid tasteless casualties, I still hope that you will order surrender. After laying down your arms, I can treat you as prisoners! Officers at all levels can also receive the treatment of the corresponding ranks, so you can rest assured! Li Enfu said.
"If the interests of our British Empire diaspora are not safeguarded, then our British Empire will not stop fighting!" Li Enfu said.
"We only have soldiers of the Great Japanese Empire who died in battle, and there is no Great Imperial Japanese Army that surrendered!" Dashan Iwa also replied.
The American generals also snorted, obviously not answering, obviously unwilling to surrender. After all, the Japanese and British did not surrender, so it was naturally impossible for them Americans to surrender. And several other countries are also like this, apparently unwilling to surrender. However, Li Enfu seemed to have known this result for a long time, and he left the coalition headquarters directly. When Li Enfu left, he told Li Yuanhong to guard them and not let them break through. Li Enfu returned to Wang Guorui's temporary residence in Tianjin.
"Lord Wang, they are not willing to surrender." Li Enfu said.
And Feng Wentian immediately asked: "Then should we annihilate them all?" ”
"Lord Wang, don't rush to attack first, I found an interesting phenomenon just now!" Li Enfu said.
"Oh? What phenomenon? Wang Guorui asked.
Li Enfu replied: "Lord Wang, when I was in the coalition camp before, I found that Seymour had mentioned a sentence several times, which was very interesting. He said that if they could not defend the interests of their overseas people, they would not give up the British Empire. And I wondered, is this what Seymour is hinting at us? ”
"He's hinting at us?" Wang Guorui asked.
Li Enfu continued: "This time the British invaded China in the name of protecting overseas Chinese, but according to our previous analysis, the British did not intend to start a full-scale war with us. They just want to be able to defend their vested interests, so they don't really want to get anything out of us. Russia and Japan want to get territory, the United States wants to get special benefits in business, and several other countries come to join in the fun. The British have no intention of blackmailing us, and they do not want a full-scale war with us at the moment. ”
"So now that Vice Admiral Seymour of the British Navy has known that things cannot be done, he may have been authorized by the country, and perhaps the British have long been prepared for defeat. I don't think what the British have to do at the moment is to continue to invest their troops and national strength in the bottomless pit of our war, and they don't want much. They knew that we were not the weak government of the Manchus, and that what they could not get on the battlefield they wanted to get at the negotiating table. They know very well that we are tough, so maybe they also know that it is impossible to get benefits from us, what are they going to do next? ”
Feng Wentian immediately asked, "Then what do they want to do?" ”
"I think what the British have to do now is to end this war with dignity. We can take advantage of the differences in interests between countries and then reap the benefits of them. Austria-Hungary, Italy, and the Germans, their purpose is not to gain profits, but to join in the fun, we can ignore them, as long as we push a little, they will also choose to compromise. The British, on the other hand, are in the spirit of taking advantage. If the Americans, the Japanese, and the Russians can win, they will all take the opportunity to stop this war in the name of mediation and benefit from us, China. You must know that in the past few foreign invasions, the British tried to get benefits from us in the name of mediation on several occasions, but the Manchu bureaucrats did not know that foreigners were all the same, so they had to cede a lot of money to the British. Even from the perspective of the international situation, what the British hoped to adopt was a balanced strategy in the Far East, and they did not want the Far East to be unbalanced. If the Japanese and Russians invade and occupy China, they will certainly have a very huge impact and threat to their British hegemony in the world, and they will not allow the Japanese and the British to occupy China. Don't look at the fact that they are currently here with other countries to invade us, but they also don't want to completely destroy our China. ”
"As for the British, they should also be prepared for the second hand, that is, once the countries fail, the British will definitely seek a dignified exit from the war, so as not to lose face. Therefore, if we can get the British to withdraw from this war with dignity, then the British will also choose to leave, and will not continue to extort our benefits. If we do not allow the British to withdraw from the war with dignity, then the British may put pressure on us for their so-called face, and then use other means to force us, and it is not excluded that they will continue to send troops to fight this war. ”
"So I think we can take advantage of the different interests of countries and choose to dismantle them." (To be continued.) )
