Chapter 204: Declaration of War (Part II)

"Bastard, this is a conspiracy, an out-and-out conspiracy!"

In the Dutch royal palace, a telegram from China has just been received, and Dutch Prime Minister Bourgesius shouted violently.

Dutch Prime Minister Bourgesius did not expect that the Chinese would have the courage to declare war on them at this time, which simply made him feel insulted. The Chinese are all lowly untouchables in the eyes of their Europeans, but now they dare to take the initiative to declare war on them, which makes him feel extremely angry. And now Taiwan has not only declared war on them, but is also about to seek their Indonesia.

And this process, fools know that it is a conspiracy of Taiwan. He asked the Manchus from Taiwan for the position of the protector of the Nanyang Dadu Prefecture, and then less than an hour later, the Taiwan Consulate in Beijing announced that Wang Guorui, the Nanyang Dadu Protector, would inspect the Nanyangs. It's only been an hour, and that Chief Lan Fang flew over, and then the invitation process was so sloppy? And this qiē shows that Taiwan has long been ready for the conspiracy, and this Taiwan has long been planned, after the establishment of the Nanyang Metropolitan Protectorate, Taiwan also began to announce that it would inspect the Nanyang, and at that time the Dutch must not agree. In this way, the Dutch will inevitably announce that Lan Fang has destroyed the country, and Taiwan will take advantage of the situation to declare war on the Dutch.

From the establishment of the Nanyang Metropolitan Protectorate to the later declaration of war on the Dutch, the process took less than two hours. Even at that time, the press spokesman directly declared war together, without asking for instructions, so it was obvious that he had been prepared for a long time and had already been authorized to declare war on the Netherlands. All of this shows that it is a conspiracy on the Taiwan side, and it is enough to show that there is a problem here.

"Prime Minister Resius, will we in the Netherlands be able to keep Indonesia?" A seventeen-year-old girl asked.

And this girl is the current Queen of the Netherlands, Wilhelmina, who is just less than seventeen years old this year and has not yet officially reached adulthood. And he ascended the throne seven years ago, and then was regent by his mother, Princess Emma, because of his age. Now she is not yet seventeen years old. If nothing else, she will officially exercise the powers of the queen in 1898 when she comes of age. However, the mother Netherlands is already a constitutional monarchy, so how much power the queen can have, this is not very believable.

"Her Majesty, this is a complete conspiracy, a conspiracy of those Chinese yellow-skinned monkeys!" Bourzesius said angrily.

Queen Wilhelmina asked again, "I ask you." Will we in the Netherlands be able to keep Indonesia? I have also heard some British nobles talk about it, Taiwan is different from the Chinese, their strength is not weak! ”

After all, Taiwan's strength is very strong, especially the army is very strong, and the naval strength is also very strange. Since the last time the British minister saw Taiwan's military parade, Britain believed that Taiwan's soldiers were no less than the Germans in terms of soldiers, but the only thing Taiwan lacked was weapons. And weapons are brought by resources, and Taiwan has no industry and does not have enough resources. Naturally, it cannot be compared with Germany. In addition, Taiwan's small population and inability to support a large number of troops make Taiwan's foreign countries pay attention to it, but they will not regard it as an outright threat.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, we in the Netherlands will definitely be able to defeat those Chinese yellow-skinned monkeys. Those yellow-skinned monkeys are more powerful at playing some conspiracy, and if we want to say that the real war is not our opponent at all, we in the Netherlands will definitely be able to defeat them. Even. After we have directly defeated them this time, we will also take the opportunity to attack Taiwan. You know, more than 200 years ago. Taiwan is a colony of the Dutch. A colony will always be a colony, only a master is worthy of being a colony, and never want to turn over! Bourgesius said.

And this Bourgesius still regards the present as more than 200 years ago, when the Dutch still occupied Taiwan, and more than 200 years ago, Taiwan was still a colony of the Dutch. At that time, Zheng Chenggong defeated them. Taiwan was recovered. But the Dutch have always been unwilling, and when the Manchu Kangxi Emperor was the emperor, he also cooperated with Kangxi to seize Taiwan. At that time, Kangxi didn't care whether Taiwan belonged to him, and almost gave Taiwan to the Dutch as their reward for eliminating the Zheng regime in Taiwan.

It is conceivable that the Manchus did not fancy the regime of Taiwan back then, but almost gave Taiwan to the Dutch. If it weren't for Shi Lang, a traitor, he still had some conscience. said that this Taiwan is the gateway to Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Fujian and Shanghai provinces, and he has a certain understanding of the Dutch, so he knows that if Taiwan is given to the Dutch, it is afraid that the Dutch will make a comeback, and then use Taiwan as a springboard to erode the mainland, he vigorously persuaded Kangxi not to give up Taiwan, so this made Taiwan not taken away by the Dutch.

And now the Dutch still stubbornly believe that Taiwan is still the same as in the past, but a colony under their rule, and it is impossible to do anything at all. Even if the British say that they are very strong, those Dutch politicians still think that Taiwan is just a former colony of their own, and it is not an organization that can exist independently at all. This is also the stubborn inertia of human beings, and human beings stubbornly believe that their first impression is right, so even if they think that Taiwan is not as weak as it used to be, they still think that Taiwan is still as weak as it used to be.

"They defeated the Japanese, can we defeat them?" Queen Wilhelmina asked, still a little worried.

But Bourgetius still stubbornly said: "No way, what are the Japanese?" They don't deserve to lift our shoes! When we Dutch dominated the world, they couldn't even build ocean-going ships, so they were nothing. ”

Bourgesius, like many Western countries, was fond of remembering the glory of the past. Although those Western countries may be able to become strong for a while, after their decline, they will also fall into a situation of remembering the glory of their ancestors. Many times after their decline, they are not willing to admit that they have declined, they still stubbornly think that they are still strong, look down on those rising stars, think that they are backwards, and do not deserve to be with their old aristocrats.

Just like the British in later generations, they are actually ranked last among the five hooligans of the United Nations. But the British still hold on to their identity as an old empire and look down on the Chinese. In later generations, although China has become more and more powerful, and even ranked second or third among the five hooligans of the United Nations, the British, who ranked fifth, still stubbornly believe that China is a backward country. In the impression of the British, China is still a country that can be invaded by themselves at will, and it is still the country that was easily opened by themselves more than a hundred years ago. And the British until later generations are immersed in their own dreams of the past, and they are not willing to accept the reality at all, and they are not willing to truly recognize the fact that they have declined.

And the Dutch are the same, they still think that Taiwan was the colony that could be invaded by itself more than 200 years ago, and even if it can rise now, it is a very weak country. In fact, Western countries are the same as the Manchus, and even if they decline, they will not be willing to admit that they have declined. In fact, they are all the same as the Manchu Qing Dynasty, a kind of ostrich mentality, and they can't see the action when others rise. Like the Manchus, they seemed to be still in that era of power, and they were just deceiving themselves.

Now the Dutch also look down on the Japanese very much, because although Japan has risen after the Meiji Restoration, in fact, it is much stronger than the Dutch, but the Dutch and later British people look at the Chinese with the same attitude, still so contemptuous, as if those who came later are just nouveau riche. But as everyone knows, their so-called nobles and nouveau riche are just deceiving themselves, as long as their strength is enough, the nouveau riche can completely defeat the nobles and beat them like their grandsons. And if the aristocracy does not have strength, then the so-called aristocratic status is just a self-deceptive thing. In the final analysis, the world still depends on strength, but these Westerners just can't understand it.

"Your Majesty, we have 120,000 troops in Indonesia, and we are not at all afraid of Taiwan's troops of 60,000 or 70,000 at most. In addition, we have a good relationship with those natives, and those Indonesian natives have personal enmity with the Chinese, when we rejected the Chinese, they didn't follow us to bully those Chinese? Therefore, we can completely incite those indigenous people to attack and fight against the Chinese, after all, if the Chinese control Indonesia, then I am afraid they will not be able to survive at all, they and the Chinese have a blood debt! ”

Wilhelmina continued: "In this case, if you can take the kingdom of Taiwan into prisoners, and then bring us to the Netherlands to show me." I was very interested in him, and according to what I had heard from my relatives of the English nobility, this kingdom had only just turned twenty years old, not much older than me, but he had already become the governor of a great empire, the commander of tens of thousands of troops and millions of people. Even these are all his own hard work, and he deserves to be a hero! I wanted to see how he was able to achieve so much on his own at the age of 20. ”

And the Prime Minister Bourgesius immediately said: "Yes, my Majesty, I will definitely bring that kingdom to Holland." ”

No one knew that Wang Guorui would go to the Netherlands in the future, but not as a prisoner. Moreover, Wang Guorui went to the Netherlands, and there are some interesting things. (To be continued......)
