In the face of Zhao Bei's "buying" Xiong Chengji, he hesitated, he couldn't take the treasure, and when he remembered the word "duplicity",

"Lanfang's relationship with China is determined by law and endorsed by various countries. It seems inconvenient to change it lightly

Xiong Chengji tried to excuse himself, but he hesitated, and left a little leeway for what he said, he came to the mansion, originally planning to persuade Zhao Bei to stay away from politics, but now, he suddenly found out. It's not just Zhao Bei who is so fanatical about pursuing his own concept of governance, it is indeed not easy to keep politicians away from politics, thinking of this, Xiong Chengji suddenly felt a little guilty.

"The law can be changed, and as for the European and American powers that endorse it, they are now suffering from the economic crisis. Where is the heart to care about the relationship between China and Lanfang? What's more, they would love to see Lan Fang break free from Chinese control. However, in my words, after Lan Fang gains national defense and diplomatic autonomy, it cannot be an enemy of China under any circumstances, and this is fundamental

Seeing that Xiong Chengji seemed to be a little hesitant, Zhao Bei decided to give him some more time to think about it seriously.

"In this way, the presidential election will officially start next spring, and my campaign team will be formally formed at the end of this year, and you will not return to Nanyang for a while anyway, I will give you a few days to seriously consider my proposal, and then give me a formal reply, don't be in a hurry to reject my proposal." By the way, you sit next to me at today's banquet, and I will formally introduce the family members to you. I still have to talk to you if I don't get drunk and don't go back Hearing this, a stone in Xiong Chengji's heart has just fallen to the ground, this exchange of interests really makes him very difficult, on the one hand, the domestic presidential election, on the other hand, the constitutional test field on Lan Fang's side, after all, it is difficult to choose, so he agreed to seriously consider Zhao Bei's proposal.

Zhao Bei got up, sent Xiong Chengji out of the wing, and instructed Qin Sihu to send him to the villa to pay homage to Mr. Han, as for Zhao Bei himself, he also went to the villa after leaving the garden, but did not go to the Shoutang to preside over the ceremony, but entered a reception room and met with two guests who had just arrived.

These two guests are Japanese, one is the Japanese ambassador to China, and the other is his interpreter, and they are ostensibly here to pay homage to Zhao Bei's father-in-law, but in fact, they are here to find out where the wind is going.

Japan is an island country, with a narrow land area and poor resources, and a very limited domestic market, which determines that Japan's trade is inevitably export-oriented, and when the international trade system is terminated by tariff barriers, when Japan's economy will be in crisis.

Since the Great Depression, the international trade system has been on the verge of collapse, countries have been a warning to their neighbors, raising tariffs, building trade barriers, in this case, Japan's industry is basically dying, in order to save the Japanese economy, the Japanese government has tried to use the depreciation of the yen to enhance the competitiveness of Japanese goods, but it has been strongly blocked by European countries led by the United Kingdom, after that, Japan's economy has collapsed.

The economic crisis was followed by a political crisis in Japan. It is precisely in this situation that both the left-wing radical forces and the right-wing radical forces regard the Japanese government as a weak and incompetent representative, and there are also divisions within the Japanese government, and there are also many differences between the Japanese government and the military forces. The assassination of Japanese Prime Minister Takeshi Inukai brought the constitutional era of Japanese politics to an end.

Under the emperor's system, Japanese politics quickly moved towards militarism," Sakura Kai Greater East Asia Comrades Association. These right-wing radical groups are nothing more than thugs attached to the emperor's wing, and they can accelerate the militarization of Japanese society, but in the final analysis, the roots of militarism lie in the upper echelons of Japanese society.

In order to alleviate the economic pressure and seek a political way out, the Japanese right wing finally provoked an incident in New Guinea through the military department, quickly occupied the Republic of Papua under the protection of Australia by military means, and established a so-called "Kingdom of Papua" to prop up a puppet regime.

But so far, the world is apart from Japan. No country has officially recognized the legitimacy of this "Kingdom of Papua", and there is a puppet state controlled by Japan, the Republic of New Guinea, which can be used as an example, but the problem is that a year before the Papua Incident, Japan had officially announced the annexation of New Guinea and the Republic of New Guinea, so that there was no puppet to cheer for the Japanese government.

Japan's appearance is too ugly, which has aroused the unanimous disgust of European countries, and the United States is also very worried about Japan's expansion in the Pacific direction, so. The League of Nations quickly formed a mission to investigate the conflict in Papua, while China and the United States also worked as a mission to investigate the conflict. At such times, Japan is in great need of "allies." Looking at the countries of the world, the only one that can give Japan strong support is probably only China, a large country in East Asia.

In "Pan-Asianism. Although the two countries have not signed any form of alliance treaty, the current relationship between the two countries is generally regarded as a "quasi-ally." Relations, in many international issues and disputes, China and Japan have always worked closely and cooperated with each other.

However, in the Papua crisis, China's central government failed to give Japan strong support, the reason is very simple, that is, because Japan's "eating appearance" is too ugly, China is really not good to defend, after all, in the norms of international exchanges, "non-aggression against the sphere of influence of other countries" has been the default principle of all countries, this time, if China supports Japan to invade Australia's sphere of influence by force, then, if the next time there is a certain country in the South Seas, Central Asia, Russia and other regions of the sphere of influence, then don't spider, The mouth family helped China.

In order to gain China's diplomatic support, the Japanese government had no choice but to use all its resources, in addition to bribing parliamentarians and politicians, and at the same time trying to pick up the banner of "pan-Asianism" again and use the radical forces of the Chinese people to fight from the side.

When the Great Army of Veterans broke out, the Japanese government was very concerned about this matter and immediately instructed the ambassador to China to pay close attention, and when it learned that Zhao Bei intended to participate in the next presidential election, the Japanese government immediately ordered the ambassador to China to visit Zhao Bei. Trying to take the "madman route" directly, because history has proven that Zhao Bei is very interested in "Pan-Asianism", and compared with the constitutionalists, Zhao Bei is more efficient.

This is also the main purpose of the Japanese ambassador to China's visit to Zhao Bei, in addition to bringing a diplomatic memorandum, the Japanese ambassador also brought some quite valuable gifts.

Zhao Bei accepted the diplomatic memorandum and the gift Zhao Bei also accepted, but he did not give any guarantee to the Japanese on the spot, but only told the Japanese ambassador that he would seriously consider it, and also reminded the Japanese diplomat that China's presidential election will be held next spring, and judging from the current international situation, the League of Nations will soon pass a resolution on the Papua issue, so Zhao Bei is likely to be helpless in this Papua crisis.

After sending off the Japanese ambassador and his little Zhao Bei, he paced back and forth in the reception room, pondering the Papua crisis.

Due to Zhaobei's intervention in history, it was no longer possible for Japan to continue its expansion into the East Asian continent. Moreover, under the deliberate guidance of Zhao Bei, Japan finally embarked on the road of expansion in the direction of the Pacific Ocean. To tell the truth, Zhao Bei really didn't have any confidence that Japan would take the initiative to challenge Australia. After all, Australia is not the weakened China of history. Australia is a sovereign and complete country, and there is Britain standing behind it, such a hard bone is obviously not easy to gnaw.

But facts have proved that Zhao Bei still underestimated the madness of the militarists, they actually really focused on Australia, Zhao Bei was happy about this situation, of course, not happy for Japan, but happy for China, finally, he successfully led the disaster of Japanese militarism to the direction of the Pacific Ocean, to the territory of the Europeans, then, the next thing is very simple, that is, to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and from time to time to encourage Japan to challenge the letter of the European and American powers.

This must be grasped to a certain degree, so that the European and American powers cannot think that it was China that instigated Japan, nor can Japan think that it has been betrayed by China; this is like walking a tightrope, and prudence is the most important thing.

Japan's "eating appearance" is ugly, this is not important, the important thing is whether the Japanese government can be as consistent as when the "September 18 Incident" was launched in history, and give the League of Nations a dead pig is not afraid of boiling water, Zhao Bei is not very sure about this, after all, Australia has now announced a national partial military mobilization, it is difficult to say whether a Japan-Australia war will break out.

Whether there will be a war between Japan and Australia is only one thing, on the other hand, due to the outbreak of the world economic crisis more than a year later than Zhao Bei expected. The current international situation has not kept up with the development of Zhaobei's strategy, especially Germany, where the Nazis have not yet fully mastered Germany, and in this situation, the possibility of a world war breaking out is very low.

If a world war does not break out, the old international order will not end completely, so Zhao Bei does not want to see Japan defeated by the combined powers of Europe and the United States, but at the same time, he does not want China to be involved in the war now, because China is not ready for a full-scale war.

In the face of this choice, Zhao Bei hesitated for a while, he found that his interference with history was too drastic, so that he could no longer accurately grasp the details of future historical development, and a world war would definitely break out, but it was difficult to grasp whether it would be carried out as in history.

"I hope that the Japanese government will not be fooled by the devil now, and that it is a wise choice to accept it when it sees it, and now is not a good time to challenge the white order

Looking at the map of Asia, Zhejiang and the Pacific Ocean, Zhao Bei fell into deep thought, and it was not until Qin Sihu arrived that his thoughts were interrupted.

"Xiong Weigen has already paid homage to the old man, and now he has gone down the mountain."

"Zhang Taiyan went down the mountain with him?" Zhao Bei asked.

"Yes." Qin Sihu nodded.

"Zhang Taiyan's briefcase also brought the scroll of painting cylinders he carried?"

"Yes. I thought it was a birthday gift, but later I learned that it wasn't Qin Sihu and there were some temple monsters.

"That's not for the old man, it's a "gift" that Zhang Taiyan plans to give me in public at the banquet A very special gift Although he is mysterious, but I already know that he wants to give me a well, it is actually a word written by him. ”

"A word?"

Qin Sihu didn't think it was strange, Zhao Bei's meticulous work was pervasive, and he was afraid that Zhang Taiyan would have the commander-in-chief's undercover agent by his side.

"Actually, it's nothing, just send it, but this Mr. Zhang thinks too highly of himself, after I think about it, I still can't let Zhang Taiyan's gang be too proud, so ah, I want to drop the word in advance, leave this matter to you, don't mess it up." Zhao Bei said.

"Yes! I'll arrange it right away

Qin Sihu nodded, the commander-in-chief is surrounded by Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, in the past few years, the commander-in-chief has lived in seclusion in Xishan, but he has collected some chickens and dogs, all of whom are managed by Qin Sihu, these people are not of great use, but it is more than enough to deal with Zhang Taiyan's kind of literati, Qin Sihu can't help but want to see Zhang Taiyan's expression after he found out that the gift was dropped.
