Li Xian smiled bitterly and said, "At the beginning, you gave President Grant a move of 200,000 US dollars. I know that Taiwan cannot compare with the US president, but my 60,000 US dollars is really the lowest friendship price. Please read the book W×∮ＷΩ.ΩＱingKanShu．cC”

The cute CEO smiled and made a gesture of folding his hands together, "Thank you, thank you, Zhan Kui, let me take Mr. Li Xiande to rest first, and greet him well."

"Yes!" Wang Zhankui wanted to talk to the cute CEO more and strive for Li Xiande, who could get some benefits now, so he invited him out.

"President, CEO, cute CEO..." Before Li Xiande was invited out by Wang Zhankui, he turned around from time to time to talk.

The cute CEO smiled and waved his hand, signaling him to understand and stop talking.

Of course, it’s not that cute CEO doesn’t have such a little money. The cute CEO is testing Li Xiande’s attitude. On the one hand, the cute CEO wants to confirm that the information is true and effective. On the other hand, the cute CEO also wants to see how much money Taiwan is worth in Li Xiande’s eyes. Judging from Li Xiande’s attitude, Taiwan is really worthless in this era!

In other words, it is not very valuable. In the eyes of the great powers, Taiwan's importance is only as a trade transfer station and has not risen to a strategic height.

From the perspective of a trade transfer station, Taiwan is definitely not as good as Hong Kong, but Hong Kong is on the belly of the golden hen.

Although Taiwan’s geographical location is important, it should not be highly regarded as the ability to display this era. Any part of Taiwan, including chicken cages, is not as good as Hong Kong’s leg. Hong Kong was quite high in 1874. Please read the book WｗΩＷΩ.

However, this does not prevent Taiwan from becoming a key area for competition among the great powers.

Since the early 19th century, in order to balance the trade deficit caused by importing Chinese tea and other goods, British merchants smuggled large quantities of opium from their colonies to China, which brought serious social problems to China; the large-scale import of opium has turned the trade between China and Britain from China to Britain, resulting in a large amount of silver in China and serious damage to the Qing Dynasty's finances.

Taiwan was one of the earliest places where the British invaded China. The British had always been in power. The cute president intervened in Taiwan affairs and would once again be involved in the struggle with the Qing court, the Japanese and the British.

Among these three aspects, the Japanese and Qing dynasties naturally valued Taiwan's power more, especially the vassal power of the Ryukyu Kingdom!

In the 1860s and 1970s, Western powers pointed their finger at China's aggression, causing China's borders to be full of crises.

Taiwan has a prominent strategic position and has become the focus of military invasion by the British, the United States, France and other great powers.

At the beginning of the Meiji Restoration, Japan established the general policy of aggression in its foreign policy to "expand territory". Please read the book Wｗ∮ＷΩ.

Ryukyu and Taiwan, located in the southwestern Pacific of Japan, became their choices for their foreign expansion.

The Japanese plan to invade Taiwan, so they naturally have to find an excuse.

The cause of this was: In December 1871, more than 60 Ryukyu people were experiencing a typhoon on a boat and drifted to southern Taiwan to board 6, of which 54 were killed by the indigenous people of Taiwan, and the others were sent back to China by the Qing government.

Japan took the pretext that Ryukyu drifters were killed in Taiwan. With the assistance of Li Xiande, the US Consul General in Xiamen and who claimed to be "Taiwan Communication", he immediately faced the Qing government and took the opportunity to invade Taiwan.

In November 1873, the Japanese government sent Foreign Secretary Liuhara Maehiro to the Zongli Yamen of the Qing government to inquire about the murder of Ryukyu drifters.

Liu Yuan Maikami proposed: "The land of Taiwan... Your country is only half of the island's governance. The land of the eastern part of the country has not exercised its power, and the people of the country remain independent. The winter of the previous year, the people of our country drifted to the place and were plundered and killed by them, so our government will send envoys to question the crime."

Mao Changxi, the minister of the Zongli Yamen, replied: "When the foreign people killed Liumin, I heard about the incident... I am both the land of the two islands, and the people who belong to the land will kill each other, and the ruling is up to me. I care about Liumin and have my own measures. Why should I ask about your country's affairs?"

Liuhara Maemitsu argued that Ryukyu was the territory of Japan and the Qing government should punish the foreigners who killed Ryukyu people.

Mao Changxi said: "All those who kill people will be born in the world, so they will be placed outside the world... they will not accept the king's world."

Liu Yuan Qiangun said: "If you live a life and harm others, your country will not be punished, but I will blame the islanders."

While the Japanese actively invaded Taiwan, they also went to the Qing court to negotiate in Beijing. This is really a very good strategy.

It's also a very shameless strategy.

The Japanese are confusing the public!

Ryukyu has been the territory of China since ancient times!

The cute president looked at the map and said to himself: Mom, even Japan is part of China, and he dares to be indiscriminate.

"Be prepared and be prepared to attack Taiwan. Just bring an infantry regiment and a fortress. Immediately notify the General Staff and General Logistics Department." The cute president said to Princess Katrina Kaif.

"President, have you decided to drive the Chinese army to Taiwan?" Princess Katrina Kaif asked in surprise.

Why is Princess Katrina Kaif so surprised?

Because China is still facing very severe pressure from the Qing court and the British. After continuous deployment of troops, the Qing court was not weak in Fujian. Although the British retreated many of the troops after a war with China, they still retained more than 20,000 6th Army and a huge navy in Guangdong and Hainan.

President Meng said firmly: "Yes, I have made up my mind to preserve every piece of China's land! Moreover, Taiwan's geographical location is very important and has been an inseparable part of China since ancient times. Japan's first foreign aggression and expansion choice was Taiwan, which sounded the alarm for the Qing government, and also exposed Japan's ambition to occupy Taiwan. However, we could not count on this Qing court, and we could only rely on ourselves. The British will not attack us for the time being. We just ceased fire, and we have just signed a convention organized by the member states of the South China Sea contract. There is no problem with this. Moreover, even if the British want to fight another battle, our current situation is much better than that at that time, because after we replaced the standard rifle, our strength has been enhanced."

Princess Katrina Kaif nodded and said, "Since the president has decided, how many people will we bring over?"

The cute president thought about it and said that the cost of cross-sea combat is really too high. The ammunition supply and transportation difficulties she carries must be brought with it more ammunition, which is more effective than bringing more people.

According to a combat plan he provided to the Japanese government provided by Li Xiande, the "Brief Disciplinary of Taiwan's Ancient Land", the Japanese will send three or four thousand troops, and the Qing court has tens of thousands of troops.

President Meng believes that "at least one infantry regiment and one artillery regiment must be brought! Just take the Hongpu Military Academy Teaching Brigade."

"Ah? Just bring an infantry regiment and an artillery regiment? Only bring such a few people?" Princess Katrina Kaif was puzzled. (To be continued.)
