Chapter 384: Peaceful Development (8)
Looking at Ruan Aiguo, who was full of ambition, Qiao Yu's heart couldn't help but rise a trace of pity, this hot-blooded young man probably hadn't realized that he, including his motherland, was destined to be just a bargaining chip in the game of great powers, and his natural chess piece life could only be manipulated by others!
There are many countries in this world, but to put it bluntly, there are only two kinds, one is a big country, which can dominate the world as a standard-bearer, and the other is a small country, which can only be a pawn. Being born in China may be a kind of happiness, a country that can pry the world, and although it is not immune to setbacks, Chinese people can still straighten their chests and face anyone with their heads held high, without having to grovel and ask for mercy.
Of course, these thoughts are just a flash, for Nanyang Qiao Yu is bound to win, and for Ruan Aiguo, he can only use it.
"Mr. Ruan, now that the world war has just ended, and the European powers are in the weakest opportunity, it is indeed a good opportunity to launch an uprising!"
"So Mr. Prime Minister agrees with us attacking the French colonial axe?"
Qiao Yu shook his head, "Mr. Ruan, international politics is not so simple, a frizzy attack on the French will only attract strong retaliation, your strength is not enough, especially if there is no base in Vietnam, you can't defeat it, and then retreat to China, then how do you let the world view China!" ”
Ruan Aiguo's face was also red, and he hurriedly said: "Mr. Prime Minister, I was reckless, please forgive me!" ”
"It's okay, I suggest that you start with the Sino-Vietnamese border areas, occupy some rural areas, and mobilize the local people, so that you will have a foothold, and you will also be able to have a steady stream of soldiers, and it will be easy to continue fighting!"
Ruan Aiguo's face changed slightly when he heard Qiao Yu advocate that they occupy the rural area.
"Mr. Prime Minister, I think that the center of the enemy's domination is in the city, and only by launching an uprising from the city can we achieve a better effect in striking at the enemy, especially if we want to organize the proletariat in the city to form a powerful armed force and wage a decisive battle against the enemy!"
Qiao Yu listened to Ruan Aiguo's words, and still maintained a consistent smile on his face, but there was already a trace of thought in his heart, isn't the revolutionary method that this kid said is the one of Soviet Russia, when did they get mixed up with the Soviets, it was really a bunch of white-eyed wolves who couldn't be raised, and they were ready to get rid of China's control so soon!
"Well, I'm not very familiar with the situation in Vietnam, just follow your method, and I will provide the necessary support!"
After getting Qiao Yu's assurance, Ruan Aiguo rushed forward to prepare, but Qiao Yu called Wang Tianhe over at this time, this intelligence leader is Qiao Yu's most confidant, and naturally he will not leave Qiao Yu an inch.
"Did Ruan Aiguo have contact with Soviet Russia?"
"It is true that there are Vietnamese people who have gone to Moscow, and it is said that they will join the Comintern, and Vietnam is still more interested in the Russian revolution, Prime Minister, if Nguyen Aiguo and these people become accomplices of the Soviet Russians, will we kill them!"
Wang Tianhe is also a very ruthless person now, and he will definitely not be polite to those who dare to betray China!
"No, we didn't want to control these Vietnamese in our hands, we need them to muddy the waters of Southeast Asia, especially when they collude with Soviet Russia, it is more conducive for us to exert influence in Southeast Asia, but I must keep an eye on their intelligence, don't let these white-eyed wolves bite us back!"
After thinking about it, Qiao Yu felt that if Ruan Aiguo was so reckless in engaging in a decisive battle in the city, he would not have any chance of winning at all, and he was afraid that before they could shake the French colonial order, they would suffer the fate of defeat, and they should still have some control over this white-eyed wolf militarily.
Thinking of this, Qiao Yu invited Lu Rongting over, Lu Rongting since Qiao Yu was ousted from the throne of the two Guangxi patrol envoys, has been wholeheartedly building the railway, through his efforts, the traffic situation in Guangxi has been greatly improved, the Guizhou-Guizhou railway has been opened, the Nankun railway is also under intense construction, as long as it is completed, Guangxi will become the most convenient outlet to the sea in the southwest region, and the economy of the whole region will be completely lively!
The people of Guangxi also see the hope of getting richer, Lu Rongting's prestige is even higher now than when he was a patrol envoy, and the old man does not have so much resentment in his heart now, and he can make some contributions to his hometown in this life, and he can also comfort his life.
"Old Lu, I invited you this time, but there is something I ask you for!"
"Prime Minister, I'd better continue to build the railway, just take care of my stall, there is no other luxury!"
"Hehe, Lu Lao, you still have grievances, you better listen to what you want to do first, that Vietnamese Nguyen Aiguo is preparing to launch an uprising against the French colonial political axe, although their troops are trained, but those leaders are a group of hot-blooded young people, they don't know what war is, I think Lu Lao, you are more familiar with the situation in Vietnam, so I want you to come forward to help and be a military adviser to them!"
Lu Rongting and Zhang Zuolin are both bandits, but Lu Rongting, a bandit, is not the same as ordinary bandits, he mainly fought with the French on the Sino-Vietnamese border, which once frightened the French.
"Prime Minister, I dare to ask, are you ready to include Vietnam and other places in China's territory?"
"Nanyang is too important to us, even if it can't be truly incorporated into the territory, we must drive out the British and French forces and bring this place under our control!"
Qiao Yu's meaning is very clear, that is, China will never let go of Southeast Asia, and Lu Rongting also understands that he is probably only a part of the Southeast Asia strategy, but China's most important achievement since ancient times is to expand its territory, if he can contribute to this, it is also a good thing that will be passed down for centuries.
"Prime Minister, I agreed to this matter, but I want to take Yuguang with me and let this kid see the real war!"
Lu Yuguang is Lu Rongting's eldest son, Qiao Yu also nodded, "No problem, the affairs of Vietnam will be handed over to you, try to use the power of Vietnam to consume the French!" ”
Everything is almost arranged, Qiao Yu and his wife and children are not in a hurry to return to Yanjing, but go directly to Yunnan, ready to go to Jiangxinpo and other areas to inspect, China has just achieved direct control of here, Qiao Yu came to declare sovereignty, and now that the land reform in the southwest has achieved initial results, Qiao Yu must also come to see the real situation, so he chose to come to Yunnan.
The southwest region is where Qiao Yu started, and it is also the first to implement the new policy, the most obvious construction results, and now the people's livelihood construction in Sichuan can be called the first in the country, although the Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions are also struggling to catch up, but after all, it is seven or eight years late, and it has not enjoyed the dividends of the First World War, so it is far inferior to Sichuan!
Although Yunnan and Guizhou provinces have always been poor and backward provinces, they also rely on the opportunity to be the first to be richer in the two lakes region, the common people are the most simple, they attribute all these changes to Qiao Yu's body, so after Qiao Yu's special train entered the southwest, the atmosphere felt was very different!
There are very warm welcome teams along the way, all kinds of slogans, singing and dancing crowds, Qiao Yu also really felt this enthusiasm, basically every time he arrived at a station, Qiao Yu would take the initiative to get off the train to make some speeches, and at the same time meet with the representatives of the people, which seemed approachable to the extreme!
One stop at a time finally came to Kunming, Kunming has no scorching heat in summer, no severe cold in winter, the four seasons are like spring, there is the title of spring city, now it is between summer and autumn, the scenery is the most beautiful, Lu Wanqing also likes the climate of Kunming very much, and the most excited is Qiao Luan and Qiao Rui, these two little guys have long been well mixed, as if naughty will also be contagious, Qiao Rui, who has been very shy, is getting more and more bold, and Qiao Luan two people tossed the official mansion chickens and dogs, there is no moment of Ansheng!
Qiao Yu laughed at the children's nonsense at most, Yunnan Provincial Governor Luo Changqi has been waiting for Qiao Yu for a long time, Luo Changqi has also aged very quickly in recent years, and there are many wrinkles on his face, obviously he is also working hard and paying a lot!
"Lao Luo, I've worked hard for you in the past few years, and wherever things are complicated, I will send you there, but now there are more and more talents available, so you can go to Yanjing after a while and help me preside over the affairs of the political axe!"
Luo Changqi said with a smile: "Your Excellency, Yanjing is also a circle of right and wrong, after all, Xu Shichang is still the president!" ”
"Soon it won't be!" Qiao Yu showed a playful smile on his face, it is inevitable to clean up the old people in Beiyang, originally Qiao Yu was going to let these people be eliminated naturally, but when he was cleaning up the Zongshe Party a few times ago, he found that these old bureaucrats were not reliable, and many people also had contact with him, which immediately made Qiao Yu very dissatisfied in his heart, and he had the intention of starting.
"Prime Minister, these people don't necessarily really want to betray the country, they are all old people from the Manchu Qing Dynasty, they all learn the style of officialdom, and they all want to leave a way out for themselves, so they can not offend any force, just step on a few boats!"
"Hmph, I don't object to them stepping on a few boats, but if they dare to put their feet on their own boats, they will be discounted! Mr. Luo, now the United States and Britain are clamoring for a Washington conference, and I estimate that it will be held next year, and when this conference is over, the international community will be more stable, and then the United Mingzhuo Party will be able to develop to the whole country, and we will hold national elections and take power into our own hands! ”
As a native of the Sichuan family, Luo Changbei certainly supports Qiao Yu's actions, especially those old bureaucrats are indeed not suitable for this era.
"Prime Minister, the Washington Conference was said to be held after the Paris Peace Conference, why should it be delayed?"
Qiao Yu smiled slightly, stretched out two fingers and shook them, and said, "Just two words: interests!" In addition, the war in the Far East has just ended, and the relations between the five major powers, the United States, Britain, Israel, France, and Italy, plus these relations between us, are intricate and chaotic. ”
"Prime Minister, no matter how much we quarrel, China is no longer a piece of fish at such an international conference, and this is the most important thing for us to celebrate. Now the Jiangxinpo area has been stepping up development, relying on those Indian captives, we have sorted out a million acres of land, 200,000 farmers have moved to the Jiangxinpo area, and there are many businessmen have also passed, ready to build several timber processing factories in the Jiangxinpo area, Southeast Asia is full of high-quality timber, the domestic demand is very huge, it is a good time to develop, I plan to extend the railway from Kunming, repair to Myitkyina, as long as the railway is passed, everything is easy to do! ”
