Red Alert 1895

"Governor Wang, I order you to let your security department hand over our country's citizens to us, and then send them back to China by the staff of our consulate." The British consul said.

But Wang Guorui immediately said: "Mr. Consul, please clarify for me, this is my place. This is the Governor's Mansion of Taiwan. It is the official residence of my Taiwan Governor, not your consulate. So, don't mess with me here." Phew, I won’t listen to you! If you want to say something, you can directly submit the paperwork to our Foreign Relations Office, and they will handle it. Also, the one you mentioned killed our traffic police in Taiwan Britons, we will consider penalties and it has nothing to do with you Britons."

"Our British Empire has signed a treaty with your China. Our British Empire has consular jurisdiction in China. Citizens of our country have broken the law here. They cannot be judged by your laws and must be handed over to our British Empire. Punishment by the consul, your Chinese laws cannot be punished, understand? This is the bottom line of our British Empire, consular jurisdiction cannot be regarded as a useless provision."

The British consul also felt a lot of pressure in his heart, because Taiwan has actually abolished some unequal treaties through various means. For example, what is the right of customs supervision? At present, the British do not have the right to supervise Taiwan's customs, because they know that supervision is useless, so the power of customs supervision is in name only. And there are still many unequal treaties signed between them and the Manchu Qing Dynasty, which have also been emptied by various means. Therefore, the British actually did not have many unequal treaties that could be enforced in Taiwan. If Wang Guorui had not been able to become the leader of the central government, he would have publicly abolished these unequal treaties long ago.

Because many provisions are also in name only, this makes the British consul also feel that it is a big deal. Other economic provisions have been eliminated in name only, and the last one is consular jurisdiction. Neither side has had direct contact with consular jurisdiction before. The British did not break the law in Taiwan before, so naturally, both Taiwan and the United Kingdom temporarily circumvented this rule. And the British did not break the law, so the conflict of this provision is naturally not too big. Everyone didn't take the initiative to mention this. But now there are British people who not only attacked the police, but also killed the traffic police. This is obviously killing them.

In this case, the provisions of consular jurisdiction cannot be ignored. Because if the regulations of consular jurisdiction are followed, the British is likely to be sent back to the UK, and the specific punishment is up to the British themselves. Even, whether it will be punished is also a question. There is not much internet in this day and age, so once the Brit returns home, they might just let him go. No penalty will be imposed. It is difficult for foreigners to know this process, and it is naturally impossible for Chinese people who are separated by thousands of mountains and rivers to know. So, this is an unknown thing. What's more, China has a tradition of murdering people to pay their debts and debts since ancient times. I am afraid that countless people are thinking about this matter now, and want to see how Taiwan will handle this matter!

This is even related to the final conflict of consular jurisdiction. The British will not allow the loss of consular jurisdiction. Otherwise, the provisions signed by the British and China will completely lose their effect in Taiwan. This is related to the face of the United Kingdom, and they naturally refuse to give up. In this kind of international affairs, face is often more important than actual interests. If there is no face, countless people will come to kick their noses at it. Therefore, the British refused to give up this consular jurisdiction. This is the last pitiful face-saving issue of the British.

"Master Wang, there are many people outside the Governor's Mansion to petition, hoping that the murderer will be severely punished!" said a guard of the Governor's Mansion.

And this news. Let everyone feel the seriousness of the matter again.

"We in Taiwan defeated the Japanese pirates, and even defeated Spain, and forced the Netherlands to marry the queen. What an honor. We cannot allow the British to kill people here without being punished, so we hope that the perpetrators will be severely punished. "

"Severely punish the murderer, severely punish the murderer"...

A large number of people gathered outside the Governor's Mansion soon, and they all started to petition, hoping that Wang Guorui would severely punish the murderer. At present, Taiwan has fought several wars in a row. Not only defeated the Japanese, but also defeated the Spaniards. After defeating the Dutch, they could even force the Netherlands to marry the queen. Isn't this a long face? Because of defeating foreigners one after another, and there are still two countries that are Westerners, this makes the people of Taiwan feel honored. And national honor is achieved by relying on fighting, relying on national strength, not relying on compromise. So now after the war, Taiwan has established its own national dignity. When many foreigners come to Taiwan, they follow the rules. Although there were some minor problems, they were not intentional. They were not familiar with the laws here, so they caused some misunderstandings. This is not a big problem.

But this time it was different. This time the British not only refused to pay the fine after being caught going against the road, but when the traffic police impounded the car according to the regulations, he actually shot and killed the traffic police. This is a law enforcement officer, and he killed someone on purpose. Intentionally killing someone from behind is a serious crime. This is unforgivable, because this has gone beyond not being familiar with the law here, so it has caused some misunderstandings. And even in the UK, it is impossible to attack the police and kill people in the street, right? So, this is unforgivable and makes everyone angry.

And this British behavior is tantamount to touching the painful nerve in the heart of the Chinese people in Taiwan again. Originally, because of fighting several wars, it seemed that the Chinese in Taiwan had gained dignity and risen. But now there are people who dare to kill people in the street, which makes them feel that this time there seems to be a big problem! This makes everyone feel that the rise of the Chinese in the past and the improvement of the status of the Chinese feel that it is all an illusion, it is all an illusion. And in order to prove whether this is a false appearance, everyone also came to petition on their own initiative, hoping that Wang Guorui would severely punish the murdering foreigners. As long as Wang Guorui can severely punish foreigners, it means that the status of the Chinese has been improved. However, if Wang Guorui refuses to severely punish foreigners and wants to send them back to China instead, then the status of the Chinese may still be very low. In this way, Wang Guorui will definitely lose the hearts of the people.

When the British consul saw this situation, he also trembled in his heart. Although he forced himself to remain calm, he suddenly realized that no matter how calm he was, it was futile. Because he seems to have seen that the Chinese are no longer insensitive, and that the Chinese are no longer the insensitive Chinese. They began to care about their own country, the fate of their own nation, and their compatriots. When their compatriots were killed, they all came to help them on their own initiative, and tried their best to help their compatriots get justice.

But the British consul knows that China's national consciousness has begun to truly awaken, and it won't be like in the past that it has nothing to do with it and looks like it doesn't talk about state affairs. But the current Chinese are obviously fighting for their own country and nation. They feel the sovereignty of the country and the dignity of the nation, and they will never allow the kind of loss of power and humiliation of the country in the past to happen. The Chinese in Taiwan have already begun to wake up.

Once a huge country with a population of 400 million starts to wake up, the power that will erupt is infinitely huge. This made the British consul tremble in his heart, because if such a huge country can unite, then they will all build their own country with one heart, and then they will work hard together to make the country prosperous and strong, and shed their blood. country, who can stop it?

"Can our British Empire conquer such a country?" Britain thought with trembling hands.

Once this country with a population of 400 million awakens~www.readwn.com~, no country on earth can conquer them, because such a country with a huge population cannot be conquered by force. How many people are there in the UK, but tens of millions. The reason why China is bullied is not how powerful foreigners are, but because of the insensitivity of the Chinese people. They don't care about the fate of their own country and nation. Most people only care about themselves and rarely care about the future of their own country. And every time the Manchu Qing court lost a battle, they were not very enthusiastic, as if someone else had lost a battle. Even they dare not resist, dare not resist their own destiny, but will surrender to their own destiny.

However, now they actually fight for their own destiny, for the dignity of their country and nation. They can unite and fight against foreigners for an ordinary policeman, instead of the original attitude that they have nothing to do with themselves. They have learned to care about their compatriots, learned to care about the dignity of their own country, and are no longer so insensitive. Under such circumstances, can the British defeat this kind of country? Will the British be able to repeat the situation when tens of thousands of troops conquered a huge country? I am afraid that the current British consul, and even any British people will not believe this result.

"It's really scary. Is our British Empire going to meet a huge opponent? Moreover, such a huge country with a population of 400 million, our British Empire cannot be defeated!" The British consul thought painfully. (to be continued)
