C808 dead point (2/2)
”If the Ryukyu and the Qing Dynasty were to fall in discussion and talk about meeting in battle, it is very likely that the Qing Dynasty would repeat the strategy of pacifying the Taiping Army, which is to hire foreigners to fight …”
”Of course, the price for dealing with us will definitely be higher. Just giving us money is not enough, and it's very likely that we will continue to cut off territory! The Yangtze River Basin has always been part of the British's territory. If the rent in Shanghai expanded, and if there were an opening for the British in Nanjing, Wuhan, Chongqing, Jiujiang, Wuhu, Jingzhou and other places, I can foresee that the British would definitely send troops to intervene. ”
”There's also Guangdong, which is close to Hong Kong. The British don't mind expanding their territory …”
”France, our enemy, is not to be outdone. Annan and Guangxi will definitely not give up. They will definitely seek the same benefits as the British in Jiangnan. Once these two tigers are put in, the economic lifeline of Jiangnan will no longer belong to us …”
”That's not the most scary thing. The English and French, including Prussia and the other countries, mostly used colonization as their ultimate goal. They don't want sovereignty over the country, but the Russian in the north has a huge appetite for the land …”
”If Xinjiang is cut off, then the land of Gan Shan will become the frontier. The complicated ethnic problems will make things even more chaotic here. Moreover, Xinjiang is a land area of 1.6 million square kilometers. Are we really willing to throw it away?” He is willing to part with the Qing Dynasty, and I, Xiao Letian, am not willing to part with it.
”The Western Regions! That's the disciple that we've been managing since the Han Dynasty. After thousands of years, he's finally been controlled by the Central Plains Civilization. If he were to lose him again, history wouldn't give us any more chances to take him back.
”Do you agree or not!” Xiao Letian's anger had aroused the anger of everyone present. Everyone shouted angrily, ”If you don't agree, let's lead our troops to the north and destroy this empire!”
The group was in an uproar, but Xiao Hexin and Wang Huaiyuan were unusually calm. ”Did you all forget about Master's previous teachings? The righteous name is in the hands of the Qing Dynasty, how can we touch it? ”
”Don't forget, the Qing Dynasty and the Western Powers have signed a treaty. Although the treaty is a loss of power and disgrace to the country, it also proves that the Qing Dynasty is the legal government recognized by the Western Powers, the legal government recognized by tens of thousands of countries!”
”If we lead our troops to the north, that would be a rebellion, and that would also give the westerner an excuse to intervene militarily!”
”With Manchu's current military strength in the Beijing Belt, we can easily defeat him with our current military strength. It wouldn't be difficult for us to break through the Beijing's defenses and chase him out … But, is merely driving Manchu out of Beijing enough? ”
”A little bit of war becomes a long time, we need each city to be gradually conquered, and the weaknesses of our forces will be completely exposed! ”If we add all the recruits from the training camp s into the mix, there are only twenty thousand soldiers. We simply cannot control such a huge China …”
”The civil war, is just going to fall into a civil war again, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom has just been destroyed, does the citizens have to go through a bloody war? ”Another few hundred million people?”
”Even if we defeat the Qing Dynasty in the end, how are we going to defeat the Western Alliance? If the main forces of the English and French Navy were to attack, how would our Ryukyu defend against them? How are we supposed to block the entire group of Russia from the north? ”
