C3091 Spanish paper tiger (1/2)
All reactionaries are paper tigers... No, no, no, said the Führer. The sentence of the Führer is that all the powers of Europe are paper tigers!
Especially the Portugal, Spain, Netherlands and the other declining powers in Europe, they had long lost their prestige from three hundred years ago. They even fell off the carriage of the Industrial Revolution for the first time, let alone the Second Industrial Revolution that was about to open.
These countries' fates had already been decided. They would forever be vassals of powerful countries like the English and French, at least until the second world war.
With three hundred years of power, they might still be able to bully the natives of Luzon. However, against the Chinese people who only had their wits about them, all of their methods of rule had already lost effect.
Do you still want to rely on past battles? Don't think that the Chinese are the servants of the Great Qing. How about the quality of your Spanish guns, the Chinese family!
He had already fully entered the era of afterwear, how could he use his previous disguise to deceive others? Do you really think we don't know anything?
In the whole of Spain, there are only five or six Iron-armored battleship and their tonnage is also very small. At the moment, the Spaniard's maritime interests are all supported by the Sail battleship of the last century.
You want to scare people with this little thing? The Chinese had fought with their lives on the line against the French Main fleet!
Even the Catholics of your Spain, who have been circulating for three hundred years, now have their greatest enemies. Who is this enemy? It was the Protestantism, the branch of Christianity.
Chinese people have effective methods to restrain you from the civil to the martial, then you are just a paper tiger or something?
No matter how arrogant the enemy was, they would not be able to withstand the bombardment of the cannons. If it was not enough, then there would be two of them!
The appearance of the God of War completely shattered the illusion of the Spanish garrison waiting for reinforcements. The entire camp was filled with flames and smoke, and explosions were everywhere, along with screams of terror.
The entire army camp only had 20 odd old cannons, and no matter if it was in quantity or quality, it was incomparable to the Chinese. In this overwhelming bombardment, the last bit of Spaniard's pride was completely torn apart.
”Surrender!” Everyone surrender! ”We must take responsibility for the civilians, for the women and children …”
The commander was smart enough to use the excuse of protecting civilians to shirk his responsibilities.
Before the paper tiger could even make ten shots, it hung up the white flag. In the end, it had only killed more than a hundred people and injured more than two hundred. Such a cowardly soldier had caught the attention of all the Chinese.
”Pui!” I, your father, have been ruled by a bastard like this for three hundred years? What was in my head? ”
Spaniard had really declined, these garrison troops were third-rate troops that could not be mixed in the country. Adding to that, ever since the entire Spain had lost to the British, they had never won again.
He was not a match for the French, nor was he at an advantage over the Dutch. After that, there was a coup d'état in many areas of the country, which led to independence in the 21st century.
This kind of strange country had lost its military soul long ago, it was simply impossible for a strong army to appear!
Right now, the only thing that maintained the colonial rule of the Spaniard was the habitual prestige that Europeans had towards other races. It was also the diplomatic balance that existed between the strong and the weak.
They were all part of Europe, and all the royal families were connected to them. Although there were many internal contradictions, they could still unite with the non-European tribes.
