Chapter 960: Someone Comes

Whether the Dragon Rope Ancestor can think of a way is not known for the time being. It is reported that the envoy of Prince Qiangzhi of Annam quietly arrived in the imperial capital from Shanghai.

After contacting the foreign affairs department, he was able to meet Yan Jinpeng, vice minister of foreign affairs of the coalition government. Yan Jinpeng was originally subordinate to the intelligence department, and later after Wang Yajiao took over the intelligence department, he was sent to the foreign affairs department to work together.

His task was mainly to receive the foreign relations of some ostensible but hidden coalition governments. For example, the envoys of Nazi Germany, the envoys of the Soviet Union, and now the envoys of the strong.

"Mr. Mei, you are very welcome to the imperial capital. We hope you enjoy your stay here and that we can have more cooperation in the future. Yan Jinpeng smiled and said to Mei Qingqiu, the special envoy of Prince Qiang in front of him.

Although Yan Jinpeng was smiling, Mei Qingqiu was in a cold sweat. Mei Qingqiu knew very well that the Prince Qiang Zheng he represented was an opponent who was not at the same level as the current coalition government.

The Japanese, who now colonized Annam, had just been repulsed from China. Even tens of thousands of captives were being driven to the imperial capital. They will be investigated and tried, and those who have not committed too serious crimes will have the opportunity to do coolies.

And those who have been recorded killing Chinese will be shot according to the law. Mei Qingqiu had seen these captives, and on the way here, the dejected captives wearing Japanese military uniforms were escorted like lost dogs.

The situation along the way, Mei Qingqiu, who watched it, was secretly frightened. Once upon a time, China declined. Even Annan, as a vassal state, directly did not take this former suzerainty in his eyes.

Indeed, even after Xinhai, China was still the object of partition among the great powers. Even its tragic situation is even worse than in the late Qing Dynasty. The Manchus were still a unified country, and after Xinhai, China was completely reduced to the Colosseum of the great powers.

One by one, the agents who have been supported up, you sing and we take the stage. Behind almost every force, there is a strong force standing in support.

And in this case. Annangen doesn't think China has anything to learn from him. It was the day when they turned their attention to the success of the transformation and became a second-class power.

But all this was shattered after the birth of the tiger. With a string of military victories and dazzling diplomatic tactics, he laid the foundations of the current coalition government.

Subsequently, after the complete defeat of the Nanjing government, the coalition government entered a period of rapid development. Qiang Zheng is not a stupid person, in fact, he has been paying attention to this commander-in-chief of the Wehrmacht inside and outside the world since the Tiger entered the customs.

He was delighted by the establishment of Kim Koo's North Korean regime. In his view, this is a glimmer of hope that the once Chinese vassal states in Southeast Asia can become independent. For this reason, he personally went to North Korea in disguise to investigate whether Kim Koo was a puppet of the National Defense Forces or whether he had really become an independent country.

He was surprised by the results of the investigation. Except for the military, the DPRK of Kim Koo, which is now in the country, operates completely independently. The head of government is Kim Koo. And most of the civil servants are examined.

They need to go to the neighboring three eastern provinces to study government affairs, and all the officials and senior North Korean officials are local North Koreans. North Korea's resources are not directly appropriated by the National Defense Forces, and all resource exploitation is in the form of purchases or shares.

In the final analysis, the coalition government still took advantage of North Korea. But in the end, I feel that it is a good deal. What war can a small country in North Korea fight?! A war that lasts at most a year will be enough to bring down his finances.

And to the Wehrmacht. At least you can keep yourself safe, right?! Second, in terms of resource development, the coalition government is not taking it for nothing, which is much better than the Japanese.

In terms of official appointments and internal affairs, Qiang believes that the DPRK will have some coordination with the National Defense Forces. However, judging from the fact that the officials are all North Koreans, Kim Jiu's autonomy is still very large.

Don't take advantage of you, train your army, and make an umbrella for you. If such a big brother doesn't follow that, who else will he follow?! After Qiang Ji understood the situation, his heart was on fire.

But then World War II broke out. He hesitated. The Wehrmacht seems to have exercised some restraint towards Britain and France. Although they recovered the concessions of Britain, France, the United States and other countries in China, they did not seem to mention that they wanted to help these vassal states unlock them.

This made Qiang very hesitant whether he wanted to make further contact with the Wehrmacht. At that time, Qiang Zheng was just an exile, and he did not have any forces and forces to negotiate cooperation with the Wehrmacht.

It's a good villain, Jin Jiu, and various assassins have done assassinations. Slaughtered a large number of Japanese generals and staff officers as a greeting gift. Qiang Zheng can't slaughter a group of French people as a greeting gift, right?!

As for the Japanese, he relied on the support of the Japanese when he was in exile. It is even more impossible to turn against his own owner before the situation is unclear.

The turning point in this matter was the Southeast Asian War launched by Japan. After the Japanese army entered Annam. Qiang Ji felt that his opportunity had come.

He knew very well that what the Japanese wanted was a puppet. And only to connect with the Wehrmacht. Only then will Annan be able to truly achieve independence. In any case, since ancient times, Annam did not become China's territory, but became China's vassal state. Becoming a subject country again, Qiang Zheng felt that the Annan people would not have much psychological pressure.

"Minister Yan is too polite, Mei Qingqiu is ashamed to be a ......" Facing the deputy foreign minister of the coalition government, Mei Qingqiu didn't dare to take it. Quickly got up and stretched out his hand.

"Annam and China have been interdependent since ancient times, and China is also a subject country. Although the Fayi and the Japanese occupy our country's territory, my heart for Annan to China has not changed, and it is ......"

Mei Qingqiu knew very well what she was going to say, and she mentioned Annan's past and current situation with one mouth. He even faintly pointed out the purpose of his visit this time - to continue to be a subject of the coalition government.

And who is Yan Jinpeng?! First of all, he was stunned by the intelligence mouth for many years, and then all kinds of ghosts, snakes and gods were not uncommon in foreign affairs agencies. Mei Qingqiu's statement would not make him have any fluctuations in his heart.

Of course, Yan Jinpeng still showed great relief on his face. But when he made this expression, the afterglow in Yan Jinpeng's eyes was still sweeping Mei Qingqiu.

Yan Jinpeng needed to judge how sincere Mei Qingqiu was when she came over this time. And what price are they going to pay in exchange for the support of the Wehrmacht.

"Hahaha...... Annan and China have had a lot of ties since ancient times. In the past, it was our own poverty that led to the current situation of Annan. Now we have a certain strength. Then as long as Annan wants to, we will still fulfill our responsibilities as a suzerain......"

Yan Jinpeng's words can be regarded as the end of the point. First of all, it shows that China is indeed responsible for Annan's situation, but at that time, it was too busy to take care of itself, so there was nothing to do.

And now, Yan Jinpeng also said it clearly. "Fulfill the responsibilities of the suzerain", that is, Annan needs to recognize the Chinese coalition government as the suzerain, so that the coalition government will consider supporting Annan.

Otherwise, you're not my subject, why should I spend my strength to help you?! Now the coalition government is also fighting, and its own resources are not enough!

"It's inevitable." Mei Qingqiu obviously understood Yan Jinpeng's words, and said with a smile: "North Korea was also a vassal state of China. Now it is also relying on our China that we can get rid of the colonization of the Japanese invaders. I believe that with the support of the suzerain, we in Annam will also embark on a smooth path of independence and self-improvement......"

Yan Jinpeng was not surprised that Mei Qingqiu would mention North Korea. Since the people of Annam dared to come, then they must have conducted all-round research. And the successful case of cooperation between the National Defense Forces is Kim Koo's current North Korea.

It is unlikely that they will not be concerned about what is happening in North Korea. Mei Qingqiu said. On the one hand, it is to praise the combat effectiveness of the Wehrmacht. But on the other hand, it is also a demand for the same status as North Korea. Of course, they will bear the same responsibilities as North Korea.

"Hmm...... So, what we want to know now is what your King of Annam, Baoda, thinks about this matter. Yan Jinpeng smiled at this Mei Qingqiu and said, he knew that this person was actually subordinate to Qiang.

To put it bluntly, he is not the person of King Baoda of Annam. Other words. He doesn't really have any official status. And Yan Jinpeng pointed out this matter, not to drive away Mei Qingqiu. Otherwise, he would not have come to see him.

On the contrary, Yan Jinpeng pointed out this matter in order to lower Mei Qingqiu's bargaining chips. You're not official, and you don't have much foundation. I want to support you, so the benefits you want to give me can't be less. Isn't it?!

"Humph! Bao Da has lost our respect. He first groveled to Fayi, and recently he was lured into his alliance by the Japanese and betrayed the interests of Annam! The so-called Tao is different, and there is no conspiracy with each other. Qingqiu is a subordinate of Prince Qiang, who has launched many anti-French uprisings, and is very different from Nabao! ”

Mei Qingqiu's words came out. Yan Jinpeng couldn't help but look at this little-known Mei Qingqiu. First of all, his remarks pointed out that the current Baoda has cooperated with the Japanese, should the Wehrmacht support him?!

Clearly, the coalition government is unlikely to do that. In other words, there are not many opportunities for the university to work with the coalition government. Secondly, he pointed out that Qiang Zheng had led many anti-French uprisings.

In other words, Qiangzheng is not weaker than Baoda in terms of popularity and resources in Annam. This can be regarded as a disguised point to Yan Jinpeng about the money in Qiang Ji's hand.

To be able to support several uprisings, then Qiang Ji must have a group of combat forces in his hands and at the same time have a certain amount of financial support. These are the strong confidence to seek cooperation from the Wehrmacht.

After all, Jin Jiu didn't have many people and didn't have much money back then, so he could be regarded as poor and white. Even from time to time, I have to let the people below be killers to earn extra money to support their careers. And Qiang Zheng is much better, but there are still people who have money in their hands.

"Of course, we also believe that what Baoda is doing now has harmed Annan's interests. But it seems that Prince Qiang also had a relationship with the Japanese high-level when he was in Japan, didn't he?! Yan Jinpeng said with a smile: "According to our recent news, several supporters of Prince Qiang have also appeared in the Japanese Imperial Cooperative Army to cooperate in the battle!" ”

Mei Qingqiu was directly choked by Yan Jinpeng's words. This is really a bad book, Qiang Zheng is indeed unclear with the Japanese. And Mei Qingqiu also knows about this situation.

Qiang Zheng's mind is very simple: if the Wehrmacht accepts him, then he will maneuver between the Japanese and the Wehrmacht, and try to collect benefits and strengthen himself. Whoever has the last laugh in the Japanese and coalition governments will listen to whoever they want.

Of course, this is premised on the fact that Annan under the rule of Qiang can have the ability to protect himself and not be afraid of the aftermath of the two countries. But in fact he ignores the biggest problem with this approach, which is that no one will really want to help them.

supported you, but in the end it became a tiger. Do you think people are stupid?!

"I will pass these cases on to the committee, but I cannot guarantee the specific decision." Yan Jinpeng smiled at Mei Qingqiu, who was speechless, and said that he had now figured out what he wanted.

When he returned, he would ask him to get all the information about Qiang. Plus his own opinion and evaluation. Sent to the Central Committee of the Coalition Government.

For more specific decisions, it is up to the Central Committee, including Lin Sen and Mrs. Song, to make decisions.

"Mr. Mei can stay at the Oriental Hotel first, and we will inform you when there is news." As he spoke, Yan Jinpeng said with a smile: "Perhaps, Prince Qiang will need to come to the imperial capital in person." After all, there are some things that he still needs to talk about in person. ”

"Then, this matter will trouble Minister Yan......" Mei Qingqiu stood up, bowed slightly, and said softly. And Yan Jinpeng was polite and sent Mei Qingqiu out of his office.

Then Yan Jinpeng dialed a few red-line calls. And several large bags of pieces were sent to his desk. After reading it carefully, he wrote the report and brought it to the venue.

The meeting was held in the office building of the coalition government. Several copies have been made and distributed to all the members of the Central Committee.

The number of members of the Central Standing Committee of the coalition government is not large, only seven. Keep this amount. So that there will be no stalemate when voting.

"Humph! This is strong, and it's really good-hearted! I want to take advantage of us more, and I want to reach out to the Japanese at the same time. Hehehe......" Lin Sen sneered and put down the piece, and said to everyone: "There is more than enough small wisdom, but there is not enough great wisdom." This person can't make a big deal. ”

Lin Sen's words are in one sentence, and Qiang Zheng did not do anything great after him in history. Even less than half of his imperial brother Baoda's influence.

After the end of World War II, although he was active for a while, the final result was that he died of loneliness in a hospital in Japan.

"It's not to blame Qiang. He was born into a pro-French family. He also learned the same way as the Europeans, and the interests are paramount! Tu Mengben, commander-in-chief of the Wehrmacht, sneered.

Many people say that "there are no eternal friends and enemies, only eternal interests". But if any fool uses this sentence to be a man, or uses this sentence to govern the country, he will definitely be pitted to death.

Say this sentence. The idea in my heart is to put my own interests first. Admittedly, at some point it can be done. But everything is based on this, so in the end, no country wants to deal with you.

Europe is small because of its small size and has very few times of peace. And a lot of the time. It is not surprising that their code of conduct is based on the family, and that their foreign policy is "profit first".

But if you are a big country, you still do this, it seems that you have lost the bearing of a big country.

About that. We can see it in some of the things that have happened in history. Historically, after China put forward the Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence, it began to gradually provide assistance to a large number of countries in Asia, Africa and Latin America.

At that time, the high-level officials put forward the famous strategic thesis of the three worlds, claiming that the countries of Asia, Africa, and Latin America are the third world, and the vast number of developing countries are the basic foothold of China's foreign policy.

These things seemed like futile work at the time. Many people even think that this is throwing money in the water for nothing. But today, decades after this incident, those seemingly useless things that have been done before have gradually shown their power today.

At a time when Africa is being despised and discriminated against by European countries, China has quietly but firmly extended its hand of friendship. At the same time, they have also been provided with a lot of assistance to help them build railways, help them build roads, and build factories...... Wait a minute.

And all of this played a huge role in the fact that decades later, when China finally had the strength to enter Africa economically. Compared with the Europeans who discriminated against them and plundered them, people on the African continent are more willing to believe that they are willing to help China when they once had nothing.

In later generations, the island of the era when resources became more and more important saw the value of Africa. They are also trying to get close to Africans and invest in resources.

Unfortunately, there are very few economic forums they organize. The Forum on China-Africa Cooperation organized by China was attended by 45 countries.

The presence was attended by foreign ministers, ministers in charge of foreign cooperation or economic affairs from 45 African countries, as well as representatives of some international institutions and regional organizations.

If it were not for the foundation laid by our predecessors decades ago, it would not have been so easy for China to enter Africa in the future. And if China's foreign policy, like that of Europe and the United States, was only about putting interests first, then there would not have been such an outcome.

If a big country, or wants to become a big country, then its foreign policy must have continuity and persistence. You have to convince your allies that you will support them without going back on their word easily.

Otherwise, if you cooperate and stab me secretly, I will secretly give you a stick, so you don't have to do anything. Wait for someone to take advantage of you.

"I think this strong man can still be supported...... Tu Mengben said with a smile: "In the end, he still has some value......
