In the parking lot in front of the Qinzheng Hall of the Governance Hall, An Yi had just gotten out of the car, and Xu Ziliang and Wu Tingyan strode up to meet him.

An Yi was not too polite, and came to the small conference room of the Qinzheng Building with the two, and after the orderlies made tea and left, Wu Tingyan said the request of the Germans.

An Yi took a sip of tea and asked Xu Ziliang to talk about the views of the princes of the Government Council.

Xu Ziliang said: "Now the international trend has reached a critical moment of either/or, Germany and Italy are one side, Britain and France are one side, according to the information provided by the chairman, the Soviet Union has signed a secret alliance with Germany, then Germany, Italy and the Soviet Union have become allies, Britain, France and their younger brothers Poland, Belgium and other countries against the above three countries. As for the rest of the Americas, Europe, and Asia, apart from the United States, Japan, and China, perhaps South China can be counted as half, and the rest of the countries have not yet reached the point of influencing the international situation.

"Although in terms of the number of major powers, Britain and France are at a disadvantage, we must see that Britain and France are old colonial empires, and their colonies are all over the world, including the Commonwealth countries Australia, Canada, South Africa, India, and the northern and western Africa of the French, etc., can easily obtain various resources, plus the United States did not hesitate to stand on the side of Britain and France in the last European war, so from the perspective of comprehensive strength, Britain and France still have the upper hand.

"Looking at the German-Italian-Soviet alliance, the Soviet Union had to deal with the threat of the Far Eastern Army and us, and its territory did not border Britain and France, so at the beginning of the war, it was only right to consolidate the rear first, and recover the lands of the Urals and Siberia, and it was unlikely that they would directly participate in the war, but they could obtain advanced military technology from Germany by supporting Germany's coal, oil and steel, so as to achieve the purpose of the alliance.

"In the last European war, Italy originally belonged to the camp of the Allies, but at the critical moment, turned its back on Germany and Austria, and finally Germany and Austria had to form an alliance with Turkey, from the perspective of the entire war process, Italy's army had no bright spots, even if it invaded Ethiopia three years ago, the victory was not glorious, on the whole, the Italian army did not have the strength to change the balance of power between the two sides at a critical moment.

"The only thing that is unpredictable is Germany. Since the end of the Central Plains War, Germany has launched a full range of military cooperation with us, avoiding the constraints of the Versailles Treaty on Germany, many new technologies and new equipment have been developed since then, and later with the expansion of the Nazi government's armament warfare, these technologies have all been applied to the German team. The current Germany is strong and strong, and it is conservatively estimated that Germany is more than a step higher than the British and French armies. With the combat effectiveness displayed by Britain and France in the colonial war, it is difficult to believe that such a force can withstand the torrent of German steel, and if Germany can destroy France in one fell swoop and unite with Spain, which is also a fascist regime, then it will still have the strength to confront Britain and the United States with the strength of Europe. ”

Seeing An Yi nodding again and again, Xu Ziliang said again: "It is precisely because of the rapid formation of two camps in Europe that we in South China should not get too close to Germany, and judging from the reality that Japan signed the "International Agreement on Industry" with Germany and invaded China, we should appropriately lean towards Britain and France, and at the same time strengthen our own military strength, let the insatiable Japan provoke Britain, and it is best to make a mess of the British colonial system in Asia, so that we can profit from it." ”

"What Brother Chonglou said is the words of Lao Cheng to seek the country, An Yi admires it......" An Yi appreciated Xu Ziliang's overall view very much, and then turned his head and looked at Wu Tingyan:

"Brother Ting Yan, I don't know what the envoys of various countries in Xinjing think about the emergence of the two major camps in the world today? What do they expect from Nanhua? ”

"So far, 28 countries have sent envoys to South China, but only the embassies of Germany and Italy have been put into use, and the rest of the countries have purchased land in the embassy area planned by Xinjing to build their own embassies, and most of the envoys from various countries live in the state guesthouse next to Hoan Kiem Lake," said Ngo Dinh Diem.

The ambassadors of Britain, France and other countries still do not know that Germany has privately signed an alliance with the Soviet Union, and perhaps even the Italian ambassador does not know anything about it, because the alliance signed between Germany and the Soviet Union is actually contrary to the purpose of the "International Agreement on Industry" signed by Germany, Italy, and Japan. Since the establishment of formal diplomatic relations, Britain and France have expected us to join the Allied camp against the German-Italian axis, while the United States has hoped to sign an agreement with us to jointly restrain Japan's expansion in Asia and the Pacific. As for Germany and Italy, they wanted us to join the Axis powers and contain the British colonial forces in Asia. ”

An Yi smiled bitterly: "It is absolutely impossible for us to ally with Germany and Italy, because in this way, Japan, which is an old enemy with us, will definitely choose to ally with Britain and France, and the world will be in chaos!" With Britain and France to rely on, Japan will inevitably devote all its energies to China itself and South China, and the United States will most likely become our enemy.

"However, we must not rashly reject the good intentions of Germany and Italy, and we must now walk a tightrope between the Axis and the Allies, and adopt an independent and left-right approach in diplomacy, treating all countries except Japan equally, even the Soviet Union, as long as they recognize our interests in Central Asia and Mongolia, we can cooperate with them."

Wu Tingyan and Xu Ziliang glanced at each other and felt that the problem was thorny.

Xu Ziliang said with some embarrassment: "Now that the German Foreign Ministry has extended an olive branch, they want to send troops this time, which is nothing more than to spy on our government's reaction, and once they refuse, the German side is very likely to sever diplomatic relations with us and suspend all cooperation projects." At this critical moment of war with Siam, the risk is too great! ”

An Yi smiled slightly: "Why refuse the Germans? Not only do we not refuse, we also welcome with both hands. ”

Looking at Xu Ziliang and Wu Tingyan's shocked expressions, An Yi changed his words: "However, we also want to invite Italy, Britain, France, the United States and other countries to send no more than one company of troops to form a national coalition army and enter Siam together to show the justice of our South China war against Siam." The cost of this army, which is composed of soldiers of different nationalities, can be covered by Nanhua, and after they arrive in Bangkok, they only need to carry out simple tasks to protect the expatriates, and we will solve the rest by ourselves. Tell me, are Britain, France, and the United States still worried that we will go with Germany and Italy? ”

Xu Ziliang woke up like a dream, and Wu Tingyan slapped his thigh violently: "High! In this way, no one can say that ours is not, but it shows our sincerity and declares our military might......" Speaking of this, Wu Tingyan found that she had lost her temper and said to An Yi apologetically:

"I'm sorry, Chairman, but I'm embarrassed."

An Yi said with a smile: "Everyone is a revolutionary comrade, so there is no need to be so polite. Speaking of which, the government and diplomatic work are thanks to Brother Chonglou and Brother Ting Yan, especially diplomatic work, I know how difficult it is to carry out diplomatic work in a country that has just become independent from the colony, but Brother Ting Yan has done a very good job, skillfully maneuvering between the great powers, and only then has he won such a tolerant national environment today, Brother Ting Yan has worked hard! ”

Wu Tingyan shook his head again and again: "Actually, it should be Tingyan who thanks the chairman for his love." Before the revolution, although Dinh Diem held the position of secretary of the Hue court, she did not have any real power, and later she was denied her title and threatened and arrested because her request to the French colonial government to establish a legislature in Annam was refused, and she was threatened and arrested, so she had to live in seclusion and stay away from politics. If it weren't for the liberation of Annan, the establishment of a democratic Republic of South China, and the entrustment of the important task of Tingyan, how would I have achieved what I am today?

"In fact, now that I think about it, whoever is the foreign minister will do a good job, and a weak country has no diplomacy, and only when I serve under the chairman, can I speak hard. Who doesn't know that the chairman's army has repeatedly defeated the British, Japanese, and Soviet armies, and that our weapons and equipment are advanced, so we don't have to rely on others' snorts, we are not afraid of being choked by others, and everything is done in accordance with our own national interests, so it is naturally much less difficult to carry out our work. ”

An Yi waved his hand: "Not everyone can stand up when facing foreigners, Brother Ting Yan doesn't need to be too polite." By the way, I heard Zihua say that the British asked us to issue bonds in London? ”

Wu Tingyan nodded: "This is indeed the case." The British were jealous of the treatment of the Americans and demanded the same amount of bond issuance as the United States. Our work of issuing $500 million bonds in the U.S. market has entered the final stage, and it is scheduled to be sold by the Bank of the United States, Bank of Canada, Citibank, and Morgan Bank. ”

"September 1st?"

An Yi pondered: "Can the financial and diplomatic departments move faster and advance the issuance time to August 29?" There is a good chance that Germany will invade Poland on September 1, and I am worried that it will affect investor confidence. On the contrary, today is August 20th, and in eight days, Siam is basically decided, which is a great boost to the credibility of our government, and I believe that the issuance will achieve very good results at that time. ”

Wu Tingyan nodded busily, thinking deeply, Xu Ziliang said: "There is no problem on our government's side, the chairman of the bank has to explain to his wife personally, so that by tomorrow at the latest, he can come up with a specific plan and prepare in six days, and there should be no problem with the issuance on the 29th." ”

An Yi smiled and said, "Okay, I'll call Chu'er after the meeting and implement the matter." Nowadays, the situation at home and abroad is changing three times in a day, and we must be energetic and face all challenges. ”

In view of the possibility that a major war will break out in Europe in September, and the prices of various raw materials and machinery and equipment will rise sharply at that time, it was decided that the income of the Huaqing Society in the second quarter would not be handed over for the time being, and that the consortium of Zhang Xi and Situ Meitang would purchase grain, steel and other materials in the United States, purchase machine tools, electronic instruments, engines and other equipment, and at the same time buy stocks related to steel, chemicals, and arms, so as to take advantage of this opportunity to buy the bottom.

In the United States in three or eight years, the economy has fallen into a low ebb again, from the beginning of the year to the present, the operating rate of factories is less than 50 percent, and the number of unemployed people has reached 10 million.
