() If the outbreak of World War I had not occurred, it would have been difficult for Liu Fu to occupy the French colony of Vietnam at a very small cost. Although the French alone could not expedition to Vietnam and defeat the Taiwan Navy, the international situation at that time was that Britain, France, and Germany
European and American powers such as the United States each occupy most of the areas in the world that can be colonized, although they will also fight among themselves due to uneven distribution of spoils.
But they are just grabbing food at a table. If suddenly a new force wants to take the food on the table, then these people will stop all confrontations and rush towards the new person together to protect the food on the table.
.This truth is not difficult to understand. Liu Fu believes that with the minds of the leaders of various countries, they will not fail to understand this truth and let themselves go to seize the French's inherent colonies.
In the end, Taiwan will face the all-out attacks from the most powerful countries in the world and their tributaries. Liu Fu cannot imagine how long he can resist, but Liu Fu knows that he will not win in the end.
If you go to Vietnam, you will be beaten back to your original shape. I am afraid that even the small island of Taiwan will not be able to defend it.
However, if Liu Fu starts to rob Vietnam after the outbreak of World War I, the situation will become favorable to Liu Fu. At that time, the French and Germans will fight to the death, and the British and Russians will also be involved.
Battle group. This war will no longer be a trial and conflict between agents of the great powers, but a life-and-death struggle.
Let's talk about a small Vietnam. Even if you take away the Indian Emperor George V, they probably won't be able to stop and jointly deal with Liu Fu. The reason is that this war involves too much, and the whole of Europe is involved.
Going in, it is no longer the case that a country or several countries can just stop if they want. They will not stop until they beat the brains out of people.
In this way, Liu Fu's only enemies are the Americans who have not yet participated in the war. Although the Americans are not very good, and they may be more crazy than other countries when they are excited, they have just tasted the bitter pill in the Philippines.
United States government
Fu will definitely not step into this mess again for the sake of the French. Moreover, the main interests of the United States are still in Europe. Rather than meddling in this poor place in South Asia, it is better to try their luck in Europe. And historically, Americans have indeed not
He joined the war when it first started, but hid on the other side of the ocean and happily sold weapons and resources to both warring parties. As for the final participation in the war, he just wanted to be the victor and make more money.
However, Taiwan does not yet have the energy to devote its limited troops to the two battlefields. Regardless of whether the First World War is in 2014 or 2015, Liu Fu needs to get the Philippines first, and then wait until the First World War begins to identify a suitable opportunity.
, and then attack Vietnam.
So what is the situation in the Philippines now? Since the U.S. negotiating delegation arrived in Manila in early 2013, the armed struggle in the Philippines has not only not weakened, but has also become more intense. Dozens of guerrillas led by the "Filipino" organization are in Luzon
On the island, they launched a reckless attack on the U.S. troops huddled in several major cities and ports.
In a desperate attack with casualties, they not only used conventional weapons such as guns and cannons, but also used extreme methods such as poisoning, assassination, and arson. In the end, even civilians living in the city were involved in the war. They tied explosives to their bodies.
, as long as there is a chance to get close to the US military, he will detonate the explosives on his body and die together with the US military.
These rebellious actions that went far beyond the scope of war completely disrupted the plans of the U.S. negotiating delegation, and made most of the American politicians who came to the Philippines for the first time feel deep fear and helplessness. Originally, these congressmen and military officers
I plan to go to Manila to stabilize the situation and use delaying methods to see if I can
During the negotiation process, they can use money, ethnic conflicts and other means to divide and disintegrate this "Filipino" organization. This will not only weaken the strength of the Philippine resistance organization, but also win a breathing space for the US military in the Philippines, and maybe even
You can bring the situation back to win more bargaining chips for the final negotiation.
Who would have thought that within two days of the two sides sitting together, the guerrillas on the entire Luzon Island jumped out from everywhere like a boiling pot, using various conventional and unconventional means to attack every Filipino
They fought tooth and nail with the U.S. garrison in every corner. Although in most of these operations, the guerrillas suffered heavy casualties.
, but in the eyes of the U.S. negotiating delegation and the people in the United States, all Filipinos are dead. They will just lament and lament that there is one more corpse of an American soldier, that is the delegation and the government, and demonstrations will follow.
Parades, public opinion dropped, it is clear that compared with lamenting, the American government
fu and delegation pay more attention to the latter.
In order to reduce the casualties of U.S. troops stationed in the Philippines, the U.S. delegation had to exchange two cities and Filipino organizations for a one-month truce between the two sides. The U.S. troops stationed in the Philippines withdrew from the only two inland cities, all shrinking to the final
The two port cities of Manila and Mariveles were then used by the one-month truce period to intensify negotiations.
Peace has temporarily returned to Luzon, but wars are raging on several islands in the southern Philippines. In order to cooperate with the actions of the Filipino organizations, Taiwan’s military in the Philippines and key members of the local Filipino organizations staged a living drama.
First of all, the guerrillas organized by the Filipinos launched many large-scale offensives against the Taiwan garrison. During these offensives, these guerrillas suffered serious blows, and many times they were basically wiped out. However, after the incident,
Ordinary local people will see the Taiwan garrison carrying corpses in green tarpaulin bags back to the station.
, a large number would fill the garrison camps. In many cases, the corpses of Taiwanese soldiers who were supposed to be transported back to Taiwan by ship were gathered together and burned because they had no time to wait for the ship. And the local Filipino organization would claim to the outside world,
In a certain battle, more or less enemies were wiped out and as many were captured, but one's own losses were relatively insignificant.
In fact, these superficial appearances are all false. Those guerrillas are all guerrillas in the Filipino organization with real Filipino backbones. Most of them joined the Filipino organization later. These guerrillas were recruited from various parts of the Philippine Islands.
The local government was dispatched to several islands in the south to fight with the Taiwanese troops stationed in the Philippines. Since these battles were fought by Filipinos,
It was jointly planned by the agents of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Taiwan and the commanders of the Taiwanese troops stationed in the Philippines, so these guerrillas basically had no hope of winning. They were lucky not to be wiped out. The worst thing is that those who escaped by chance
On the battlefield, the guerrilla members who returned to the organization after all the hard work were also killed in the jungle by the agents using various methods such as frame-up and assassination.
Those packed in body bags unique to the Taiwanese army were all Filipino guerrillas who died on the battlefield. They were disguised as fallen soldiers of the Taiwanese army, transported back to the Taiwanese military garrison, and then burned uniformly. The Taiwanese army stationed in the Philippines wanted to put these
It's more like a drama. Transport ships are sent from time to time to transport groups of Taiwanese "wounded soldiers" back to the country, and to replenish new Taiwanese soldiers. These "wounded soldiers" are all stationed in the Taiwanese military stationed in the Philippines.
The time is relatively long and normal soldiers should be rotated back to their home countries.
Since the north-south transportation of the Philippine Islands has long been controlled by the Taiwanese military and Filipino organizations, and the U.S. liaison officers who were still on the southern islands have withdrawn to Manila from land and sea, the U.S. military stationed in the Philippines and the Philippine Governor-General did not know that this was
A show dedicated to them and real separation
The drama watched by Filipinos. They really thought that the situation of the Taiwanese troops stationed in the Philippines was also very critical. In order to show the cooperative relationship between friendly forces, the Philippine Governor even sent two gunboats and several transport ships, intending to control the situation bit by bit.
The Taiwanese troops stationed in the Philippines on several islands in the south were transported back to Manila.
Faced with the kindness and enthusiasm of the Philippine Governor, the top commander of the Taiwanese troops stationed in the Philippines spent a long time trying not to laugh. He refused the Philippines on the grounds that he had not received an order from the Taiwan Army Ministry and could not leave the station without permission.
The goodwill of the Governor. At that time, the two U.S.S.
When the gunboat left the port, the U.S. naval officers and soldiers on board saluted the Taiwan Army on the dock. In the words of the Taiwanese commander, the atmosphere at that time was: I looked at the eyes of the U.S. Navy and I almost believed it.
