In the next two days, Li Hongzhang and Li Jingfang came to see Wang Guorui several times, but Wang Guorui did not see them. Because Wang Guorui's so-called mother, brothers, nephews and nieces are all in the Manchu territory, and they can only meet after they are rescued by Tanya. Otherwise, if the next Li Jingfang doesn't know what to ask, after all, Li Jingfang thinks that he has captured an important hostage of Wang Guorui, which is why he is so arrogant. So Wang Guorui didn't meet them directly, but just asked them to wait outside.

However, Wang Guorui met an unexpected guest next, and this guest was Donale, the British ambassador to China.

"Leader Wang, how are you doing lately? Congratulations, you have finally expelled Japan and obtained the independent rights of the region!" Dou Nale said.

When Wang Guorui heard this Donal music, it was obvious that there was something in his words. This Dou Nale said that he has gained regional independence and rights, which means that Dou Nale has regarded Taiwan as an independent country and region, which does not belong to the Manchu Qing Dynasty or Japan. In this way, Dou Nale also hopes that Taiwan can become independent and then exist as a country.

"Minister Dou Nale, what's your business in coming to see me?" Wang Guorui asked indifferently.

Wang Guorui is not very enthusiastic about these foreign devils. After all, these foreign devils will never be kind, so they are a group of things that want to **** blood from China. Moreover, Japan's rise has a lot to do with their support, so Wang Guorui's impression of them is definitely very bad. And this time when Donalle came over, it was definitely a weasel giving a New Year greeting to a chicken—uneasy and kind. However, Wang Guorui had to meet him. After all, he represented the British, so it was not easy to leave him alone. However, Wang Guorui would not give him any good looks.

And Dou Nale immediately said: "Leader Wang, Taiwan is now a region that can determine its own destiny. Now after you have gone through two wars, you belonged to China before, and then belonged to Japan again, and now you have You have the right to independently decide your own destiny. And how do you plan to deal with it next, how do you plan to decide the future destiny of the Taiwan region? Taiwan now has a powerful army, the army with the most powerful firepower in the world, so you The strength of your country is fully qualified to become a country. And you have proved your strength by defeating Japan. As long as you can be independent, you can get great benefits. At that time, you can become the king of this country, and then Sit on an equal footing with the emperor of China!"

"I am doing this for your own good. After all, I am a king who dominates one side. It is much better than being a slave to others. Your management methods in China are really too backward. Officials are slaves of the emperor, which is too undemocratic. So, if it were me, with such good conditions, I would definitely take the opportunity to become independent, and then become the king of one party, wouldn’t it be great? And it’s impossible for the Chinese central government to do anything to you, when the time comes, you can take this family Pass on your karma to your descendants. You can be the leader yourself. Why should you be a slave to others? So, you have such a good opportunity, don’t you want to continue to seize it?”

It has to be said that this Dou Nale has a very thorough understanding of the Chinese thinking of "I would rather be the head of a chicken than the queen of a cow". He understands that many Chinese people have this problem, so Dou Nale also took the initiative He came over to lobby Wang Guorui to take the opportunity to become independent. In Dona Le's eyes, Wang Guorui probably wouldn't refuse. Judging from the current situation, Wang Guorui and the central government of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties have a tendency to separate from each other, and Wang Guorui was even able to shoot a few shots at the imperial decree of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties. This is extremely disrespectful to the imperial power of the Qing Dynasty. This meant that the Manchu Qing had absolutely no way of controlling Taiwan, and Taiwan's army seemed to be Wang Guorui's private army, so Wang Guorui had the capital to take advantage of the opportunity to become independent. As long as Wang Guorui can take the opportunity to become independent, the Manchu Qing will have nothing to do with Wang Guorui. This seems to be a very good result.

"However, does independence mean independence when I say independence? I also know that it is not easy to establish a country, especially at this time. This era is different from the past hundreds of years. Pulling a flag and then rising to establish a regime, As long as you can defeat all other enemies, your country will naturally be established. But this time is different, and the East and the West communicate frequently, so I have to consider the feelings of the Western countries!" Wang Guorui said.

Seeing that Wang Guorui was tempted, Dou Nale immediately took the initiative to say: "Our British Empire can take the initiative to recognize it when you declare independence. In this way, with our British Empire, let's not talk about the mainland government of China, just say Other countries in the West will also admit it, after all, they are not as powerful as our British Empire! So, you don’t have to worry about international recognition, as long as our British Empire can help you, then everything will be fine for you.”

Dou Nale seems to be reassuring Wang Guorui, as if Taiwan's independence is very easy, and it will be beneficial to Wang Guorui without any harm.

"Okay, Mr. Donale, I will think about it!" Wang Guorui said.

And Dou Nale immediately said: "Okay, I hope Mr. Wang can seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"

Wang Guorui watched this Donale leave with a sneer on his lips.

But Zheng Hong, who came out from the back hall, immediately said: "Husband, this foreign devil is really worried and kind!"

"Hmph, even you can tell, why don't I know?" Wang Guorui snorted.

And Zheng Hong immediately said: "Husband, the British are uneasy and kind. They want us to be independent, so that we will become an independent country. And once we become an independent country, even though it looks like we are It’s beautiful, but it actually limits our development prospects. We will definitely develop to the mainland in the future. Once we become an independent country, I’m afraid the British will use our identity as an independent country as an excuse. , to prevent us from attacking the mainland. At that time, once we become an independent country, I am afraid that our relationship with the mainland will become complicated. If we want to attack the mainland, it is tantamount to an invasion war between countries. The British can also take the initiative to send troops to intervene as we are the aggressors, and even gather more countries to support the Manchu Qing."

"Yah, Zheng Hong, you've grown a lot during this time, and you already know the general trend of the world!" Wang Guorui exclaimed.

What Zheng Hong said was actually not wrong at all, although this independent country may look very beautiful, but it is a sweet poison. Once a country is established, the relationship between Taiwan and the Qing Dynasty will be the relationship between countries. If Taiwan wants to attack the Qing Dynasty, it means that Taiwan will become a foreign invader. At that time, all countries in the world can take the initiative to interfere with the Manchu Qing on the grounds that Taiwan is an aggressor, and even help the Manchu Qing to fight against Taiwan's "aggression".

This era is not like the past where there was little communication between the East and the West, and the East and the West could not influence each other. In this era, it is very easy for the West to influence the East, so various international rules must be obeyed to a certain extent. Once Taiwan became independent, it would be another country. Even if Taiwan had the same language and race as the Manchu Qing, it would inevitably become a so-called aggressor. So once Taiwan becomes independent, it will be an excuse for foreign interference.

And foreign countries are afraid that Taiwan will belong to the Manchu Qing again, so once it belongs to the Manchu Qing again, if Taiwan goes to the central government of China, it will be an internal dispute. Once the Taiwan forces seized the central government of China, once China was integrated at that time, the fighting power that would erupt would be very huge. Once China has a suitable leader and a correct development path, then China's potential is infinitely huge, no other country can compare with it, and even the British have to shy away from it.

Therefore, the British will definitely want to prevent Wang Guorui from returning to the embrace of the Qing Dynasty~lightnovelpub.net~, let alone allow Wang Guorui to control the central government of China. Therefore, Dou Nale also took the initiative to instigate Wang Guorui to become independent, so that once Taiwan becomes an independent country, it will inevitably become a relationship between countries. At that time, it would be very difficult for Taiwan to enter the mainland, and the resistance was much greater. After all, foreigners would not let this kind of thing happen. However, if Wang Guorui belonged to China again, even if there was a civil war between Wang Guorui and the Manchu Central Committee, it would still be an internal conflict within a country, and it would be even more difficult for foreigners to intervene. After all, to meddle in the internal affairs of other countries, there are many procedures to go through, and even a lot of consideration.

Therefore, once Taiwan became independent, it would, for Wang Guorui, prevent Wang Guorui from marching towards the mainland. This foreign devil is very insidious, don't think that they came to help Wang Guorui just to allow him to establish an independent country, but their real idea is to restrict Wang Guorui's hands and feet, and prevent Wang Guorui from marching to the mainland. In this way, China has no hope of rising and cannot threaten their Western dominance. Therefore, there is a complete pit here, and if you really listen to what they say, the consequences will not be small.

"Then, from the perspective of our East Asia situation, they actually have a deep meaning in supporting our independence." Wang Guorui pointed to the map of East Asia and said to Zheng Hong. (To be continued.) xh118
