Red Alert 1895 Chapter 207

In the next two days, Wang Guorui's Nanyang Military Region officially landed on the Riau Islands, and the Nanyang Military Region officially has a piece of land. It is no longer just a military region floating on the sea like in the past. The free novel portal and this Riau Islands will become a rest and supply base for the troops sent from the rear, and then this is the springboard for attacking the Nanyang region. The Marine Corps also occupied the entire Riau Islands within two days. The Dutch soldiers in the Riau Islands are just a regiment, and the organization is not even complete, and there will be about 1,000 soldiers in the future. They surrendered immediately after the Marine Division landed, and then went into the POW camp.

As for the natives on the Riau Islands, Wang Guorui has no intention of dealing with them at present. After all, he still has to fight the Dutch, so it is not suitable for extra problems. As for cleaning up and exploiting these natives, it will not be prepared until after the war is over. As for now, we still have to fight for them not to be enemies with us. And those natives don't destroy their organizational structure for the time being, so that they can live alone. As long as they don't come to find bad luck for the Taiwan army, then the Taiwan army will not take the initiative to find them bad luck.

"Husband, the Chinese representatives here want to see you, do you want to meet?" Kang Tongwei said.

Wang Guorui thought for a while, and then said, "Let them come!"

Soon, some older Chinese came in. They were the leaders of the Nanyang Chinese in the Riau Islands. And now they came to Wang Guorui as representatives, and wanted to meet Wang Guorui, the governor of Taiwan, the minister of Nanyang, and the governor of the Nanyang Metropolitan Protectorate.

"I've seen Mr. Wang!" said the leaders.

"Get up. Are you a representative of the Chinese in the Riau Islands?" Wang Guorui asked.

Immediately, an old man about fifty years old replied: "My lord, there are more than 5,000 Chinese in our Riau Islands, and they belong to five families. They are the Liu family, the Zhu family, the Chen family, the Niu family, and the Yang family. And we The five are the patriarchs of the five major families, and I am Liu Zhao, the patriarch of the Liu family."

Overseas Chinese like this are generally bound by their surnames and bloodlines, and then gather into big families one by one. So now there are five major families here, but these five major families are not absolutely all of the five major surnames, it just means that people with these five major surnames are the leading organizations.

"Everyone, you are all the representatives of our Chinese people in Nanyang. We are now in the hands of the kings of the Celestial Dynasty to make decisions for you. Those indigenous peoples continue to oppress our Chinese people, and the imperial courts of all dynasties don't care. Then I will take care of it. We in Taiwan have to take care of it. Responsibility for the interests of our overseas Chinese, our Taiwan will become an organization that safeguards the lives and property of our overseas Chinese. If anyone dares to bully our overseas Chinese, then our Taiwan will never let him go lightly. And in the past hundreds of years. These indigenous people are jealous The wealth created by us Chinese, these guys who get something for nothing, actually rely on plundering our Chinese wealth and bullying us Chinese to survive. Now we will never let them go easily, so we are here to make decisions for you!" Wang Guorui said .

Wang Guorui came here, of course, to grab the territory. But grabbing territory is one thing, but how to promote it and make excuses is another. Both Chinese and Westerners are very hypocritical. Especially for those countries whose strength is similar to their own, of course there must be excuses. Find a just excuse for your actions. If there is no just excuse, I am afraid that people will be besieged. So Wang Guorui came to grab the territory, so naturally he couldn't say that he was here to grab the territory. It can only be said to protect the interests of overseas Chinese. Anyway, protecting the interests of foreign nationals is reasonable and legal in each country, so Wang Guorui's excuse is very normal, and no one else can say anything.

"Master Wang, we are living a very good life in Nanyang, and we don't need to maintain it at home." Liu Zhao said.

And Wang Guorui immediately asked: "You are doing well. How did we hear that you are often robbed of your wealth by the natives?"

"Well, since we are cultivating here, we naturally have to give some to the locals!" Liu Zhao said.

"Bullshit, how can we give the wealth we created to others? Also, those natives don't just steal wealth, they still want to **** your women. Can you agree?" Wang Guorui asked.

But Liu Zhao finally said: "Lord Wang, I won't lie to you. The population of these indigenous people is many times that of ours. They want to besiege us. We are not opponents! Besides, they are all backed by foreigners, and we are not opponents." .”

"Then what do you mean? Don't you know that you are not your opponent, then give up your resistance, and then let them steal your wealth and **** your wives and daughters? Where is your blood?" Wang Guorui said angrily.

Wang Guorui is really speechless about these overseas Chinese. Once they go abroad, they will choose to endure bullying and let others steal their wealth. Of course, it would be fine if you go to those big countries in the western world to be patient, but they came to this Nanyang, and most of the natives would not be opponents. Those aborigines can't be the opponents of the Chinese at all. The Chinese have civilization and can manufacture all kinds of weapons. Compared with the aborigines, the advantages are much greater! But the Chinese still chose to give up their resistance and tolerated them. This makes the natives more and more arrogant, which makes them more and more courageous.

And when many people in China asked them why they did not resist, they would say that peace is the most important thing. But when other people's knives are on your own neck, how can peace be the most important thing? If others want to steal your wealth and bully your women, then you still value peace, so Wang Guorui really has nothing to say to these overseas Chinese.

"Since you don't dare to resist, let us come to the country to make decisions for you. I don't ask you to eat pots of milk to meet the king, but at least you don't make trouble for me, okay? You are so humble that you are willing to be bullied by those natives. Naturally, we have to vent our anger for the Chinese," Wang Guorui said.

"But my lord, if you come, the revenge of those aborigines and foreigners will be even more serious! We can still survive, but if you come, I'm afraid those aborigines will definitely not give us a way out!" Liu Zhao cried.

Wang Guorui really understood that this group of Nanyang Chinese were actually afraid of his coming, and those aborigines were even more cruel to him. Originally, they could barely survive, but if Wang Guorui and the others came, I'm afraid they would really be killed by the natives. At that time, they were dead without a place to bury them. This kind of thinking is similar to that of the anti-Japanese period in later generations. The Japanese hoped to disintegrate the Chinese people's will to resist through massacres. And those short-sighted guys, who saw the Japanese massacre, thought they could be obedient citizens under the Japanese, but instead they hated those who resisted the Japanese. Because they think that if they do not resist Japan, they can barely survive, and if they resist Japan, those who want to be obedient citizens will not be able to survive.

And this group of Nanyang Chinese thinks so. They think that if the Chinese domestic army came here, they might be able to barely survive, but now they will be massacred by those natives. It's definitely not worth it for them, so they don't want Wang Guorui's Taiwan army to come.

"Hmph, do you think we can't even defeat those natives?" Wang Guorui asked.

Liu Zhao immediately said: "We are not afraid that the adults will not be able to defeat the aborigines, but that the aborigines are backed by foreigners! Those foreigners are very powerful. They even defeated the imperial court, let alone..."

Liu Zhao's meaning is very obvious, that is, the foreigners even defeated the Manchu Qing court. Could it be that they can't beat a "small" Taiwan? And they subconsciously think that Taiwan is a part of the Manchu Qing, and even the entire Manchu Qing can't beat foreigners, so naturally, Taiwan can't beat them even more.

Even, these Nanyang Chinese know too little about Western countries~www.mtlnovel.com~ They don't know the specific strength of Western countries. They subconsciously thought that all Western countries were very powerful, and that every country could easily defeat the Qing Dynasty, let alone defeat Taiwan. As for Wang Guorui, he also felt speechless. These Nanyang Chinese really regarded Taiwan as equal to the Manchus, so they really thought that Taiwan could not beat the Dutch. In fact, the overall strength of the Dutch is worse than that of the Qing Dynasty. After all, the Dutch have long since declined, and their glorious history is nothing more than nothing. And they are not even as good as China. China's history is not without decline, and there are even times when it is conquered by nomads. But China will never give up the idea of ​​re-emerging, and even when China falls behind, a large number of people will catch up and work hard for the country's strength.

As for those Western countries, they rarely have this kind of thinking. Although they may be able to be strong for a while, once they decline, they will completely decline, and there is almost no hope of rising. It is definitely not accidental that China can be defeated again and again, and then rise again and again to become a rare big and powerful country in the world. Although those foreigners can become the top power in the world in a short period of time, their national willpower is quite weak. Once they decline, they are almost obsessed with the glory of the past, and there is no possibility of revitalization. But these Nanyang Chinese are not very clear about this, they still think that the Dutch are still so powerful. And they all think that China is weak and unable to bounce back. (to be continued)
