In the era in which Qiao Yu lived in his previous life, this kind of colonial system of direct plunder has collapsed for many years, and only some traces of it still show that era, but the nature of capital determines that the plunder has not ended, but has been replaced by a more hidden way.

For example, under the current colonial system, if the great powers want to seize resources, they must first occupy that area, and then establish a corresponding ruling system, they must have officials, garrisons, suppress the opposition of the local people, invest huge sums of money in building infrastructure, and operate for more than ten years, or even decades, to be able to obtain local resources, and the capital required to invest is too huge.

In later generations, the methods became very different, first by supporting some powerful local factions to seize power, and then signing a commercial agreement with this dictator, and then large-scale development of resources, as for the outside of the resources at all, even if the flood is monstrous, I have no obligation to do anything, I am just a business investment, as for the anger of the people, it can only be sent to the dictator.

And these seemingly glamorous dictators are like a toilet, once it is filled, it will be ruthlessly thrown away, and then replaced by another one, and people who want to be the head are everywhere, in this way, although the purpose of resource monopoly cannot be achieved, but the corresponding cost will be reduced to a negligible level.

This is the highest state of colonization, for example, now that Britain occupies India, although it can plunder a lot of wealth, but it also has to build tens of thousands of kilometers of railways for Indians, which is not a small investment, and it takes too much effort to maintain, especially after the awakening of nationalism, for the powers, the cost of direct colonization is too high, which is also an important reason for the collapse of the colonial order.

Qiao Yu is actually constantly thinking about whether it is necessary to turn Nanyang into China's land, and whether it is more cost-effective to control Nanyang in his hands only through economic means!

However, after careful consideration, the strategic location of Southeast Asia is too important and must be directly in your own hands to rest assured. And Southeast Asia has huge agricultural potential. In the future, the Chinese population will inevitably expand significantly, and it is inevitable that it will exceed one billion, and it is even possible to exceed the peak of future generations, after all, the area of China today is much larger than that of future generations.

Such a large population must have enough agricultural land to support it, and Qiao Yu also hopes to reserve some potential so that China can develop more smoothly without having to worry about red lines all day long. Therefore, it will not hesitate to spend a huge amount of effort to expand in the direction of the South Seas.

At this time, France was suffering a huge price from the old style of colonialism, with mass revolts in various places, strikes, demonstrations in the cities, and a large number of guerrillas in remote areas. Roads, railways, electric wires, and other facilities are within the reach of these guerrillas.

Moreover, China has sent a large number of special forces to infiltrate the three Indochinese countries, and assassinations have emerged one after another, pressing the gourd to float the scoop, although France still has more than 100,000 troops in its hands, but it is already difficult to control the city, let alone draw troops to fight.

The Vietnamese had expanded their influence into the Red River Delta. And China has stationed a large number of troops in the direction of Guangxi. There is a situation of beating Lang Son in one fell swoop, and the French are really exhausted in the face of this situation.

Although they sent two more divisions of infantry from within the country. As well as a large number of air forces, the master was still of no use in the slightest, the uprisings came and went, without stopping for a moment, violent attacks were endless, and after holding out for three months, the French finally agreed to negotiate peace with China at the Palais des Nations in Geneva.

The League of Nations can be regarded as an exercise of the United Nations in later generations, the most important organ of power of the League of Nations is the Executive Yuan, which was originally designed to have five permanent members and four non-permanent members, and the United Kingdom, the United States, France, Italy, and Japan became the original permanent members, which are similar to the five permanent members of the United Nations in later generations, but because there is no National Assembly without approval, the seat of the United States is vacant, and after the Washington Conference, Britain and France intend to pull China in and become a permanent member. However, Qiao Yu was not interested in this organization with no real power, and China did not join.

After the Ruhr crisis in Germany, the power of reparations fell into the hands of Britain and the United States, and Britain intended to enhance Germany's political status and use Germany to balance France and the Soviet Union, so Germany was drawn into the League of Nations and became a permanent member.

It is very interesting that there are actually three fascist countries in the P5, and these three countries have withdrawn from the League of Nations one after another, making such a national organization a two-person transformation of Britain and France.

Of course, this is not the case now, Germany has just entered the League of Nations, which is a sign of Germany's rising status and the beginning of its escape from the fate of a defeated country.

This time, a total of four parties participated in the negotiations on the Vietnam issue, China, France and Vietnam, plus the British, and Japan also wanted to intervene, but they got two words: play!

Vietnam's affairs are in contention between China and France, and Vietnam's Nguyen Aiguo is obviously a puppet of China, and Britain can participate, in fact, on the one hand, Britain, as the most important country in the League of Nations, should give face to the British Empire, and Britain is also involved, and the strike movement in Guangzhou Bay has also affected Hong Kong, and a large number of people in Hong Kong have also begun to take the initiative to strike and even leave Hong Kong.

In fact, there is nothing strange about this, people go to high places, water flows to low places, the current Hong Kong is far from the level of later generations, not to mention compared with Shanghai, even Guangzhou is not comparable, Hong Kong people why not get better remuneration in other parts of the country!

Of course, Britain will not easily bring the Hong Kong issue to the table, which is not tantamount to giving someone a handle, but Britain has also joined in under the banner of restoring peace in the Far East, and has actively negotiated with France to suppress China.

And China obviously has a huge advantage in the Far East, as the victor, China does not need to be small in a low voice, now Gu Weijun has long learned the attitude that a powerful foreign minister should have, after he came to Europe, he did not rush to Geneva, but first visited Germany.

Nowadays, the exchanges between China and Germany are very close, especially the secret military cooperation is of great significance to Germany, under the current international system, many of Germany's actions have to be restricted, Germany cannot even have armored forces, and German soldiers can only use paper shells to make models one by one, relying on these models for tactical training.

In fact, it was extremely miserable, and the biggest dream of these German officers was to go to distant China, where they could not only get in touch with real equipment, but even participate in real wars. This time in the middle of the operation against Vietnam. More than 20 Germans joined them, some of them served as staff officers, some of them flew planes and tanks, and some of them managed logistics.

Among these people were Rommel and Guderian, the future German generals, whose knowledge and abilities increased rapidly during the war. New equipment is changing the shape of war, an important military change is just around the corner, if you can't seize the opportunity, then you will be ruthlessly thrown away by the times, and control the rhythm of the times, you can win the victory in the future!

In addition to this military cooperation. China is also an important exporter of goods and a producer of raw materials for Germany, and the Chinese market provides millions of jobs for Germany, so that Germany will not be as miserable as it has been.

After Gu Weijun came to Germany, he was naturally warmly welcomed, and President Hindenburg personally received Gu Weijun, an old hero of the First World War who became the head of state of Germany at this time, but his heart was not comfortable. The humiliation of the defeated country weighed on Hindenburg's heart.

"I'm glad to see that China is getting stronger and stronger. This time your actions in Vietnam are just too right, and the French must be taught a lesson. They are not entitled to the colony at all! ”

The feud between Germany and France is deep, and it is too normal for Hindenburg to hold a grudge against the French, Gu Weijun said with a smile: "Your Excellency President, there is a saying in China that if you commit many acts of injustice, you will kill yourself, and it is normal for France to ruthlessly oppress the colonial people and provoke a large-scale resistance!" ”

Hindenburg is also a full old fox, how can he not know that Gu Weijun is just perfunctory, without China's instigation, can those Vietnamese monkeys beat the French to the head!

"Your Excellency, Germany is now also a permanent member of the League of Nations, which is a sign of Germany's elevated status!"

After Hindenburg heard the words of the League of Nations, the old man's face suddenly showed anger, his fists were clenched together, and he snorted angrily: "This is not promotion, this is a shame, the greatest shame, Germany will never need other people's charity, Germany will always be strong, if it were not for those despicable Jews, Germany would not have been defeated, as a German soldier, but can not defend our Emperor Majesty, there is nothing more shameful than this!" ”

In the minds of many Germans, they did not lose to the Entente, but the mutiny at home that made them lose their chance to victory, and it was the Jews who instigated the mutiny, which is also an important reason for Germany's anti-Semitism!

"Mr. President, when I was in China, President Qiao Yu said to us more than once that Germany has hard-working people and a rigorous and pragmatic work attitude, and it will definitely not be a second-rate country forever, even if it suffers another blow, Germany can stand up and make the world tremble again!"

"That's right, your Excellency the President is right, just like China, it has also suffered a lot, and now China has defeated the French, our two countries have similar experiences, I don't know if China and Germany will come together at some point in the future to completely end this old international order, maybe I can't see that day, but I sincerely hope that China and Germany can join forces!"

Hindenburg is worthy of being a first-class military strategist, he knows very well that Germany must have strong allies if it wants to defeat Britain and France, and at present, China is the most suitable, Gu Weijun did not show much enthusiasm for Hindenburg's olive branch.

"Your Excellency the President, China and Germany are now partners, unbreakable partners. I recently heard that a book called My Struggle is selling well in Germany, in which I see new hope for Germany, the high enthusiasm of the German people, and I believe that this enthusiasm is the most important guarantee for the revival of Germany! ”

Hindenburg seemed to be very uninterested in the mustache, and said in a low voice: "That crazy guy can only propagate backward racism and economic intervention, and if such people take control of Germany, it will be a sad thing for Germany!" (To be continued.) )
