Chapter 232: 10 Downing Street

"My statement is very simple, I am going to establish my own country in Nanyang, called the Nanhua Kingdom, and then declare war on Japan in the name of the Nanhua Kingdom, don't you say that I Guo Yu provoked the Japanese, and I should bear this responsibility myself, what do you think of my decision." Guo Yu said seemingly casually.

Xu Shuzheng had just touched the butt of the sofa, and after hearing Guo Yu's words, he stood up again, and he was so shocked by the news that Guo Yu said.

Building a country by yourself is this a fantasy or are we collectively hallucinating listening to guo yu s casual tone it was as simple as building a company and a factory several people in the room were a little messy.

Wu Tingfang said in a somewhat trembling tone: "Guo Yu overseer, this is not a joke, how is it possible to establish a country, then Nanyang is the territory of Britain, France, the Netherlands, Spain and other powers, I have also studied the history of Nanyang, there have been several Chinese countries in Nanyang, but they have all been wiped out by the great powers." ”

"The Republic of Lanfang in Borneo, founded for a hundred years, was destroyed by the Dutch a few decades ago, Wu Yuansheng, a native of Guangdong, established the Daiyan Kingdom in the north of Borneo, and served as the king, the throne was hereditary, and the country was established for more than 100 years, and died in the Netherlands; Zhang Jiexu, a native of Chaozhou, Guangdong Province, founded a kingdom on Ambona Island (Natuna Island), a kingdom without a specific name, and served as the king, Zhang Jiexu died, internal disputes broke out, and the kingdom was disintegrated by the Dutch; Wu Yang, a native of Fujian Province, established an unnamed kingdom in the Malay Peninsula that was wiped out by the British who expanded eastward. ”

"These Nanyang Chinese countries, which have been built for a hundred years, have been destroyed by those powers, and you still want to build a country there, will the Europeans agree?"

"Hehe, thank you Wu Lao for your concern, it's difficult to say, after all, it is very difficult to rebuild a country, and it is very difficult to start from scratch, but I am not afraid, I also have the confidence and confidence to be able to establish my own country and develop this country well."

"When I plan well, I will declare the founding of the country, and then declare war on Japan in the name of the country, and the eyes of the Japanese will naturally be attracted to me, and they will have no reason to trouble the Republic of China, but I also have a few requirements for the Republic of China here, and I hope you will convey them to the government of the Republic of China." Guo Yu said.

"You say."

"The first is Jiangsu, I am ready to let Wu Erzhu be the overseer of Jiangsu, and Mu Sheng will be the governor of Jiangsu, hoping that the government of the Republic of China will agree. Second, I don't want any changes in my industries in the Republic of China, including Huafu Club, factories and enterprises, Huafu Bank, Huafu shopping malls, etc., and of course I don't need the government's special protection, which is protected by the Huafu Army itself. Third, population, you must know that there are far more natives in Nanyang than Chinese, and if I want to build a Chinese country, I naturally need a large number of people, and I don't need the Republic of China to do anything, I originally had my own immigration plan, as long as the government did not interfere with it. Fourth, when we establish the country, I hope to establish diplomatic relations with the Republic of China and carry out normal economic exchanges. Guo Yu said his conditions in one breath.

Guo Yu's requirements, in fact, don't need the Republic of China government to do anything at all, just ask them not to do anything, Guo Yu just wants to sue the Republic of China government, although I am gone, but Jiangsu is still mine, my industry is still mine, no one can move, whoever moves me will smoke whom, because Hua Fujun is still in the country.

Xu Shuzheng listened to Guo Yu's words, and suddenly felt that the gap between himself and Guo Yu opened up a lot, originally he only thought that Guo Yu was a warlord, could do business, knew some people's livelihood, and was not afraid of causing trouble, but now it seems that everyone is going to build a country, and the person standing in front of him will soon be the respect of a country.

"How is Mr. Guo going to deal with those powers, they will definitely prevent you from building a country." Xu Shuzheng asked.

"Actually, the matter of the establishment of the country was reported to Britain, France and the United States yesterday, and I believe that this information was transmitted back to their countries yesterday, and now it is estimated that they are discussing how to deal with this matter." Guo Yu said indifferently.

"Ah," Xu Shuzheng was taken aback, "you said it yourself, why didn't you secretly build the country, and then slowly plan it, how could those powers agree to your country." ”

"Hehe, the possibility of getting them to agree will not be very great, I have thought about these in a long time, but let them not openly oppose it, it is estimated that it can still be done, Europe is now busy with war, and it is true that it is impossible to take care of the Far East, otherwise it will not be the turn of the Japanese to be rampant, and the Japanese stood up to bully the Republic of China when they saw that Europe was unable to look eastward."

"I will build Borneo, which is the territory of the Dutch, I am not afraid of Japan, I am not afraid of the Dutch, now as long as all the Europeans do not attack me together, I have no big scruples, so now is the best time, if you miss it, there will be no more." Guo Yu does not hide these things, because as long as he understands the national conditions of various countries, he can analyze them.

"It seems that Guo Dujun is thoughtful, and Wu is here to wish Guo Dujun a successful founding of the country, unify Nanyang, and also find a place for me Nanyang Chinese to live and save their lives. I was born in Singapore, 3 years old with my father returned to China to settle down, Singapore still has a few uncles there, so I still have some understanding of the Nanyang Chinese thing, can only be described in one word, that is, bitter, foreign oppression, indigenous oppression, Chinese themselves and infighting, although now the entire Nanyang millions of Chinese, but there is no real Chinese-dominated country, it is also a pity. Wu Tingfang said.

They envied Guo Yu for having such strength and admired his courage to establish a Chinese state in Nanyang, but they also knew how difficult it was.

Not to mention how much courage it takes, how huge the capital and strength are needed, just in the face of so many external pressures, it is not something that ordinary people dare to think, will the great powers watch Guo Yushun build the country, and will the local indigenous forces in Nanyang make this new Chinese country develop steadily, these are all problems that Guo Yu needs to face, they know that as long as there is a problem in any aspect, this new country will be overturned at any time, following in the footsteps of those Nanyang Chinese countries.

However, this is not what they can care about, Guo Yu has already said his opinion, that is, to draw the attention of the Japanese to Nanyang, from this point of view, it is beneficial to the government of the Republic of China, as long as Guo Yu declares the founding of the country, and then declares war on Japan, attracting the attention of the Japanese, the government of the Republic of China will solve this problem relatively easily through diplomatic means, and it is a big deal to make some compromises and concessions, and make some compensation, and it is estimated that this matter will pass.

As for the pressure that Guo Yu will face, it is not something that the government of the Republic of China needs to consider, after all, this is Guo Yu's own choice, don't say that the government of the Republic of China is ruthless, who calls himself weak now, and he can only compromise if he can't fight.

Now it seems that with such a result, Wu Tingfang and the others can be regarded as having achieved the result they want, and they can go back to their lives, and they don't have to stay in the hotel every day, they are really fed up.

As for the several requests put forward by Guo Yu, they will naturally report to Li Yuanhong and Duan Qirui, and such things still need to be decided by the bigwigs.

"Guo Dujun, since you have made a decision, we also have to go back to the capital to report this matter to a few adults, and we will do our best to give a reply to your request, then we will leave." Wu Tingfang said.

"You're busy, I won't leave a few, there will be a period later." Guo Yu said.

"There will be a date later." Wu Tingfang, Xu Shuzheng, and Jin Yunpeng got up to say goodbye, the time was still early, and several people did not stay, and went to Shanghai that day, preparing to pass through the capital.

At this time, at 10 Downing Street in England, a small-scale discussion was taking place on how to deal with a small man in the Far East, preparing to build his own country on the land he had purchased in the South Seas.

Yes, for these bigwigs present, a remote island in the South Seas, hundreds of thousands of people are ready to build a country, for these bigwigs who look at the world, it is indeed a small thing.

Although in the report of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, it is said that this Chinese named Guo Yu is waging war with Japan and has the strength to fight Japan for a long time, but this does not attract the attention of these people, because the focus of these people's attention is now on the European battlefield, because the European war is related to the survival of their own country, which is a major matter.

The current Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, Herbert. Henry. Asquith, and his cabinet member, Foreign Secretary Edward A. Sir Grey, Lord of the Admiralty John Grey. Sir Fisher, Chancellor of the Exchequer, David Fisher. Lloyd's. George, Secretary of War Paul. Stafford. Mayhuin, Secretary of State for Commerce, Winston. Leonard. Spencer. Winston Churchill, Colonial Secretary George Churchill. Nathaniel. Marquis Curzon gets together.

These people gathered here not specifically to discuss Guo Yu's affairs, Guo Yu does not have such a big face now, and needs to work these big men to hold such a high-level cabinet meeting for him, but they are just discussing the European battlefield. Henry. Asquith brought up the matter and left it to everyone to discuss it, which was kind of to ease the tension.

"Gentlemen, I have in my possession an interesting report, which has been forwarded by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Sir Gray should be more clear, so please tell me about what happened in the Far East, just so that we can all take a break from a cigarette. Prime Minister Asquith said.

"Some time ago, we talked about the situation in the Far East, and now Japan has unilaterally declared war on China, and the reason for this is because someone clashed with the Japanese, and finally the situation developed to the point of no control, and the protagonist of today's incident is still that person, a local warlord leader named Guo Yu, who wants to establish a country in Nanyang." Edward. Sir Grey said. R1152
