Diplomacy itself is just an activity for a country to deal with international relations, such as participating in meetings, exchanging envoys, conducting negotiations, signing treaties and agreements, etc. Originally, diplomacy was an external activity by peaceful means. But in the twentieth century
In the early days, it was still an era of rampant imperialism and colonialism.
Then a weak country has no diplomacy, because a weak country has no bargaining chips. No matter how weak a country is, its opponents will simply ignore your existence and will not give you any face. It is like a fugitive who does not carry any offensive weapons.
, at this time it is equivalent to a weak country without its own military strength. The world police can easily catch it without negotiating with him, which means it has no right to negotiate.
The war of words between Britain, Hijaz, and Najd soon became fierce, but at this time, the central figures around them, Li Ningyu and the Far East Group, did not stand up and say anything.
The pressure on the Ottoman Empire seemed to have been reduced a lot. However, in the morning of the next day, the third diplomatic announcement from the Far East immediately aroused a lot of discussion in the international community, whether it was the Kingdom of Hijaz and Najd or the British authorities.
I was immediately speechless by this announcement from Far East.
In the battle that lasted all night, the 2nd Battalion of the Far East Marine Corps finally wiped out all the enemies, but suffered serious casualties. The two companies suffered almost two-thirds casualties, more than 300 people were killed, and 600 people were injured. Almost everyone was injured.
They were all wounded, but there was no one alive in the enemy's position.
After Li Ningyu, who was resting in the command vehicle, was woken up by Zeng Fanyong, he immediately led the team to the position where the battle had ended. Seeing the traces of war everywhere, Li Ningyu couldn't help but be slightly moved, because this troop
His overall strength is so strong that he fought head-on with the Far East Army all night long.
Are all the special forces of the Ottoman Empire that strong? Of course not!
As the head of the Far East Group's intelligence group in Europe, Tie Bing naturally knows the situation of the Special Guards very well. With Tie Bing, if the Special Guards were really so powerful, the Ottoman Empire would not be called the sick man of West Asia.
.
But why can this army be so powerful? Walking on the local battlefield, Li Ningyu walked past the corpses and looked at them carefully. In terms of weapons and equipment, they were basically the same as the infantry of the Far East Army. They all had a long gun and five bullets.
There was nothing special about the standard configuration of the bag, so on this hilltop position, Li Ningyu left with a little bit of disappointment.
It wasn't that Li Ningyu felt disappointed with the soldiers from the Far East, but because he didn't find what he wanted to find. What was he looking for when he fell to the ground? The answer was the Type 56 Triangular Army Spur.
After seizing Tony's mini version of the military spur, Li Ningyu studied it carefully. It was not that he had never played with the three-sided military spur, but he wanted to find out who designed the three-sided military spur, so he checked it on the battlefield.
In the end, Li Ningyu did not find the second three-edged military thorn, so he was a little disappointed.
A battle in the desert finally ended after a whole night of fighting.
The entire battle could be said to be extremely fierce. In the second half, even the enemy in the first battalion tried to counterattack, but in the end it proved the old saying, harming others will ultimately harm yourself.
Landmines were a sharp weapon prepared by the enemy for the Far East Army, but in the process of counterattack, they became their own bitter fruit. Good will be rewarded with good, and evil will be rewarded with evil. It is not that the time has not come for failure to repay.
Although the number of people in the entire battle was small, it still reflected the military purposes of each. In the end, the Far East Army narrowly won. About 1,100 Marines died, more than 600 were injured, and about 2,300 enemy soldiers were killed. No one surrendered, just like
It was like the Bushido spirit of the Japs, but they did not commit suicide by disembowelling themselves, but fought until the last moment.
So after the battle, Li Ningyu ordered everyone to be buried on the spot as a way of showing respect to them, and then the Far East Army stopped and garrisoned here.
If war is a tool, it can be said to be very accurate, because war is to achieve a certain expected result, so any war is a battle to achieve the goal. The main manifestation is to achieve military goals and political goals through war.
purpose, economic purpose.
War will also be terminated immediately after achieving one party's intended purpose. Only in rare special circumstances, when neither side can achieve the purpose of the war, will the war be terminated through compromise.
But there is almost no such thing, so the military purpose of war is to preserve oneself and destroy the enemy. This is the fundamental purpose and essence of war.
Therefore, Li Ningyu is very confused now. Who is his opponent and what is he trying to do? For political purposes? Impossible. If it is a certain force in the Middle East, there is no need to be so sneaky.
For economic purposes? Also for the pursuit of oil in the Saudi region? Impossible. If they want oil, they can negotiate with the Kingdom of Hejaz and Najd themselves. This is not the territory of the Far East.
At this time, Li Ningyu couldn't understand. What did this opponent hiding in the dark want to do when he fell to the ground?
But in the end, Li Ningyu still guessed that his opponent was probably doing it for financial gain.
However, the military purpose, political purpose, and economic purpose of war are interrelated and integrated. The purpose of war reflects the political purpose of war, and the political purpose of war reflects the economic purpose of war. Any war can only achieve its own goals first.
Only then can political and economic goals be achieved.
Different types of wars have different purposes, such as fighting a just war against oppression and the exploiting class. Its fundamental purpose is to resist class oppression and national oppression, seek liberation and national liberation, and defend the country's independence and territorial integrity.
, but imperialism and hegemonism, for example, will engage in an unjust war. The main purpose is to implement class oppression and national oppression, maintain aggression and expansion, and compete for hegemony.
However, according to the purpose of the war, the scale of the war, the length of time, the strength invested in the war, and the final outcome will be restricted. This time the Far East went to the Kingdom of Najd, but they said they were not going to fight or start a war, so they fought several battles.
, Li Ningyu was confused and didn't know what this opponent wanted to do, so he ordered to be stationed here temporarily and sent a motorized unit to advance forward, while conducting reconnaissance in the front and connecting with the troops of the Kingdom of Hijaz.
But Li Ningyu is also ready to expand the scale of the war, but he must first figure out who the enemy is. The stupid war cannot continue, and even if it is fought, the Far East will quickly achieve its war goals and shorten the war.
Time, but must be based on conditions.
