Chapter 393: An Awkward Situation
Huang Xiaolei quickly reported the imminent movements of John Bull on Tianjin Wei's side to the Interim Executive Committee, and Zhao Yiyi, who received the news, also shook his head. Before receiving this news from Huang Xiaolei, he had just sent an envoy sent by Hans.
Hans first expressed his position on the conflict between Song and Russia, hoping to further strengthen military cooperation with the Great Song Empire, and emphasized that they both had a common enemy, Tsarist Russia, and finally Hans's envoy said that the powerful German Empire would be a better ally than the Jews.
Yes, you are really a teammate who can fight, and it has always been only your teammates who have cheated you. But you guys are so special that you can fight, buddy said I'm really afraid I won't be able to stop you! Zhao Yi complained in his heart.
The sudden appearance of the Crossing Masses on the Liaodong Peninsula did little to change the tragic fate of the ancient empire in recent history, at least for the time being, and the weak Manchu Qing was still one of the fattest hard dishes on the diet of the great powers.
Through the mouths of the people, they claimed that Huaxia was the China of the Chinese people, but in the eyes of the great powers, this was just a slogan put forward by the Great Song people in order to maximize the benefits in China. The Great Song people had an advantage over us when it came to conquering this land because of their yellow skin and similar culture and customs to the Chinese people, but this did not change the essence of their colony here! This is the common perception of the countries of Europa about crossing.
And the people themselves are walking on thin ice on the road of maintaining the territorial integrity of China, and they can only adopt the method of pulling one faction and fighting the other faction, and try their best to prevent the territory of this ancient empire from being encroached upon by the great powers. As for the benefits that the great powers have obtained, such as indemnities, concessions, etc., it is a cruel reality that the people who have crossed the crowd are really powerless to change.
The ideal of saving the people from fire and water is very full, but he is still living in the skinny reality that has just gained a foothold in this era.
In fact, it is not to blame John Bull and Hans for having the idea of taking advantage of the assassination of Tian Buzi to divide the meat from the Manchurian again, after all, judging from the current play of the Travelers in Borneo, these two see the Travelers as an empire that is desperate to expand its colonies overseas.
Lu Xiaobei's plan was carried out very smoothly in Borneo, and the Dutch and their affiliated natives had been largely expelled from the oil distribution map that had been circled by the public. On this map drawn by the crossing, there are not only oil, but also tin ore, gold and silver mines, as well as land suitable for large-scale rubber cultivation, which will be an indispensable resource source for the development of industry through the crossing.
With the continuous expansion of the "safe zone" centered on Yidong Wanlu, the expeditionary force sent by the crossing people has basically landed and is carrying out the task of maintaining order. In the area around East Manlaw, you can always see Chinese or Jewish soldiers in the uniforms of the indigenous forces patrolling with guns.
Liang Luyi, who has had more contact with the crossers, has begun to shift the focus of his work from the military to the political, and he knows that the "election" in the mouths of the Great Song people is not just a matter of casual talk.
After receiving military help from the Great Song people, the Dutch, who had forced them into a desperate situation, had become vulnerable, and the restoration of the Lanfang Republic was just around the corner in the current situation.
Although he went to the homeland of China not far away to ask the Great Song people for help, and had signed a series of cooperation agreements with the Great Song people, and promised that he would implement them immediately after taking power, Liang Luyi knew that the Great Song people did not regard themselves as the only candidates for the Great Song Dynasty, and his old opponent Luo Yibo was also on the list of candidates considered by the Great Song people.
Regarding the election proposed by the Great Song people, Liang Luyi was resistant at first. But as early as the meeting on the Liaodong Peninsula, the prince of the Great Song Dynasty told him that politics needs to be compromised, and unlimited infighting will only give foreigners an opportunity.
"If you are united with Luo Yibo and all the Chinese forces in Borneo, then there will be nothing to do with the Dutch in Borneo. Maybe you who don't have a backer will be wiped out by the British in the future, or annexed by the Americans, but you will definitely not be squeezed by a small country like the Netherlands to the point where there is no way out. Learn your lesson! This is what Zhao Yi said to Liang Luyi.
In order to unite all the Chinese forces in Borneo, the Great Song people formulated a system similar to that of the United States, so that the various remnants of the Chinese forces originally entrenched in Borneo were incorporated into the Republic of Lanfang. Theoretically, all Chinese forces would have a chance to run for the throne, provided that they all agreed to the package that Liang Luyi had signed with the Great Song people. Of course, judging from the current momentum of Liang Luyi and Luo Yibo in Borneo, it is difficult for others to defeat the two of them in the election.
What the? You say there are local Chinese forces who are unwilling to be incorporated into the Republic of Lanfang? I'm sorry, but those forces have been "cleared" as traitors who aided and abetted the Dutch during the reign of the Dutch, which is the real meaning of the reference that there is only one voice here in Lu Xiaobei's mouth.
Of course, as in the case of the United States, the original territory of these powers will be divided into states, each of which will be able to elect its own governor, and each state will have some autonomy. This is not to make any advanced "cooking" system, but to prevent the power of the great unification from being too great, and once the great power of the great unification falls, they will lose control of this puppet regime in Borneo. After all, the South Pacific is too far away from the Liaodong Peninsula to make it difficult for Traversal to maintain military superiority there.
Crossing the crowd in Borneo to do this, John Bull and Hans Ke are both in the eyes. This technique is so skillful, it's much more clever than the one we played in North America back then, it seems that the Great Song people have worked the colonial policies of European countries! What Huaxia is the Huaxia of the Chinese people, it seems that it is just an excuse to fool the Chinese people, but this excuse is more clever!
What can the cross-polluted people say about the misunderstanding of John Bull and Hans? I can't say anything! The "sleeping lion theory" of the poisoned milk emperor is the sword of Dharma that crosses the heads of the people, and when you are treated as one of the great powers that divide the colonies in the world, the great powers will treat you with the rules that apply to the great powers.
Once you find out that you want to wake up this "sleeping lion", you are no longer a member of the club of powers, and everyone will have to work together to kill you! At that time, even the Manchurian will join in. Maybe with the weapons and equipment provided by the "director team", the traversers can not fall behind in this big war with the whole world, but they just don't fall behind. There may be an endless supply of weapons and equipment, but no one wants to go to a place where there is constant war to make a living, and the natives who cross the crowd will only fight less and less.
At that point, the situation will become a complete battlefield show, and the traversal can only keep killing until the actors die on the battlefield in this different time and space. This is not the desired outcome of the Crossing Crowd, which is why they are now trying to pretend to be a great power state involved in the partition of the colonies.
