When Qin Zhiyuan received the telegram from Greif, it was already the next morning. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The telegram was sent first to the Cam Ranh Fleet off the coast of Bangkok, then to the Temporary Command of the Marine Corps at Kampong Son Harbor, then to Cam Ranh Bay, and finally to Saigon, where it was delivered to Qin Zhiyuan.

Speaking of which, this journey has really gone around a lot of places, and there is no way, Lan Fang's military system has not yet reached the level where the front-line troops can reach the heavens, which still requires a lot of efforts from Girardin and them.

After reading the telegram, Qin Zhiyuan handed it to Leothai, who came to eat.

Qin Zhiyuan went to Saigon, and he accompanied the imperial chef in the Lanfang Palace, and Leotai tasted Lanfang food once in Qin Zhiyuan's temporary palace, and then came to eat every day, without the appearance of a governor.

"It's finally here." Leotera was not surprised, and hurriedly glanced at it and threw it on the table.

In Qin Zhiyuan and Leotai's prediction, the British will appear sooner or later, and this group of peaches who like to pick peaches the most will definitely not let Lan Fang and France carve up Siam, and even the British's reaction speed is a little slower than Qin Zhiyuan and Leotai's predictions.

"It's a pity, I originally wanted to order the troops to take Chiang Mai." Qin Zhiyuan still had a little regret, in fact, the boys of the Marine Corps had already overfulfilled their tasks.

"I can't hold it even if I lay it." Leothai has no regrets, his troops have just captured the Khon Kaen Mansion, and although they have not overfulfilled their mission, they have not fallen behind either, which is a good result considering that Leotah's army is not rigorously trained.

Chiang Mai is indeed a good place, with many fertile fields and a large number of Chinese people. It's a pity that Chiang Mai is too close to Burma, and it is the British sphere of influence, so Qin Zhiyuan is a little too greedy to take Chiang Mai.

It's one thing to be able to take it, it's another thing to be able to keep it in the distribution of benefits after the war, and if the British want to intervene, Chiang Mai is the best choice, so this is also the reason why Leothai said "can't hold it".

"No way, as long as you can lay down, you can hold it, and the British will give it to them if they want it, and Sarawak is the best example." Qin Zhiyuan disagreed with Leotai's words.

Sarawak is now de facto independent, and although the British do not recognize it, Lan Fong admits it, and the French also recognize it, which is enough to maintain Sarawak's independent status. It is not taboo for Qin Zhiyuan to mention Sarawak now, especially here at Leotai.

"Haha, I must be careful not to let your people infiltrate French Indochina." Leothai was pleased with the English eating deflated Hayworth, and would certainly be more vigilant.

Qin Zhiyuan's way of eating is cold and untaboo, although Lan Fang and France have a good relationship now, but Leothai is not sure whether Qin Zhiyuan will pay attention to French Indochina, if Qin Zhiyuan really wants to do something, Leothai thinks that he can't resist, so he still does his work well in advance.

"Is my reputation so bad?" Qin Zhiyuan was quite dissatisfied.

"It's not bad, it's not at all." Leothai doesn't give face.

"Now that the British have come forward, when are you going to go back?" Leotai casually cared about Qin Zhiyuan's schedule.

"Soon, Mr. Prime Minister hates the British stalking, so I'm going back to clean up the mess." Qin Zhiyuan also knew that he couldn't be so selfish.

Qin Zhiyuan had expected that the British would come out, so Lan Fang had just begun to attack Siam, Qin Zhiyuan hid in Saigon Tu Qingjing, and handed over the British to Lu Zhengxiang to deal with, Lu Zhengxiang didn't have time to listen to Owen Jonah talk about this matter, and returned Owen Jonah to Zhang Jingzong, Zhang Jingzong was also annoyed, just because he couldn't provoke Qin Zhiyuan and Lu Zhengxiang, so he was stubborn and wronged.

It's time to wrap things up, the battlefield is over, and it's time for diplomats to step in.

With this realization, Qin Zhiyuan did not hesitate, and left Saigon to return to Lan Fang on the same day.

"Your Majesty, the actions of Lan Fang's army are offensive to the interests of the British Empire, and this is disrespectful to our great King, His Majesty, so Lan Fang's army must stop its actions and retreat to the position before December 24-" Seeing Qin Zhiyuan, Owen Jonah was still the same.

"Stop talking nonsense, come on, what do you want?" Qin Zhiyuan was not polite and directly interrupted Owen Jonah's tirade.

"Uh-" Owen Jonah was visibly choked and took a long time to react, "the existing areas under our control, and all of the Malay Peninsula. ”

The British had a good calculation, if Qin Zhiyuan agreed to the British terms, the British would be able to connect the territories of British Malaya and Indochina, which was undoubtedly great good news for the British.

After the loss of Sarawak, British Malaya is actually only a part left, this part is not easy to manage, because during the independence of Sarawak, many of the upper class people in Sarawak have gone to the Malay Peninsula, this part of the people are supporters of the British, the British need to appease them, and at the same time, because of the import of foreign population, the original vested interests of the Malayan Peninsula are very dissatisfied, and their interests have been shared, so the Malay Peninsula has not been peaceful recently, and the British need to do a lot of work.

"Don't even think about it, if that's the case, what are we left with? Where should Lan Fang's military spending be compensated for? Qin Zhiyuan refused without thinking.

Just kidding, Qin Zhiyuan still wants to plot the entire Malay Peninsula, if the British really control the Malay Peninsula, then Lan Fang will really be busy in vain.

"We can pay a portion of the money to cover the cost of purchasing the aforementioned areas." Owen Jonah proposed a compensation package.

Spending money to buy territory is not without precedent, and the biggest territorial deal came between the Americans and the former Russia, and it seems that the British also regarded Lan Fang as a fool.

Of course, it is estimated that the British's price will be higher than that of the Americans, and Qin Zhiyuan's understanding of the British is estimated to be not much higher.

Therefore, Qin Zhiyuan repaid his own way to his own person: "If I say that I want to buy British Malaya, is it possible?" ”

If you take the Malay Peninsula, you will be able to have the Strait of Malacca, and then the whole of Southeast Asia will be the inland sea of Lan Fang.

"Your Majesty, it's not funny." Owen Jonah was a little embarrassed, obviously he didn't expect Qin Zhiyuan to have such a big appetite.

"I'm not kidding, I'm serious." Qin Zhiyuan is colorful.

"That's impossible, you know, if I agree to the deal - I don't have that permission." Owen Jonah sternly refused.

"Well, you should know that the most feasible solution right now is to maintain the status quo." Qin Zhiyuan no longer had extravagant hopes and proposed an ideal distribution plan.

Assignment!

Lan Fang really has the potential to become an imperialist.
