Whether it is the beginning of the twentieth century, the twenty-first century, or the thousands of years before, or perhaps many years after that, international law has always been the hegemony of Hongguoguo. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The power of the state determines everything, and a big fist is justified, and this is a truth that will never change.

From the first day of its establishment, Lan Fang has been full of aggression, whether it is towards Russia or Japan, Goryeo, Lan Fang's attitude has always been to attack and expand, to expand when there is an opportunity, and to expand if there is no opportunity to create opportunities.

Of course, in this regard, the French are the same as the Lanfang people, or the whole world, as long as there is an opportunity, the expansion will definitely expand.

There are only those "big stones" left around Lan Fang that can't be gnawed down for the time being, and Siam has become Lan Fang's only target at present.

In fact, speaking carefully, Lan Fang and Siam did not have a direct conflict, not even a border, and there was also a French Indochina in between, which was also the reason why Qin Zhiyuan wanted to cooperate with Leotai, only by cooperating with Leotai, Lan Fang could launch an attack on Siam.

"Siamese people are still very obedient, and if you want to do something, then you need a suitable reason." Leotera did not disagree with Qin Zhiyuan's opinion, and it did not hurt Leotai himself.

Leotey is an excellent colonial soldier, constantly expanding new colonies for France, is one of Leota's responsibilities, to be honest, Leotey has been in spell Indochina for half a year, even without Qin Zhiyuan's advice, Leothai wants to do something, Leotey is not a person who keeps to himself.

As Leotey said, the Siamese people, caught between the French and the British, have always behaved cautiously, lest they offend the British and French and lead to the extinction of their own country.

For the requirements of the French and the British, the Siamese have always dared not discount in the slightest, for example, Siamese rice, which is indeed delicious, but if the French want to buy, the Siamese must give priority to meeting the requirements of the French even if they are hungry, so it is really not easy for Leotai to find the handle of the Siamese.

"Reason? Need a reason? The rice they sold us last month wasn't as good as it used to be, does that count? Qin Zhiyuan doesn't want to do anything about "rice for high-speed rail", he wants to eat rice, just take that place down.

"That's right, Your Majesty is very right, this is the greatest disrespect to us, so we have to teach them a lesson." Leotey was clearly interested, and the Cam Ranh affair had been put behind him.

In fact, about the port of Cam Ranh Bay, Leotey did feel regretful and inappropriate, but he did not overturn the agreement signed by Bastian and Lan Fang, compared with a small Cam Ranh Bay, the friendship between France and Lan Fang is more important, Leotey will not be in general, he knows very well what is the most important task of sitting in the position of governor of Indochina.

In the current Southeast Asia, there is almost no way to bypass Lan Fang, and if Leotai wants to sit firmly in the position of "Governor", he must maintain a good relationship with Lan Fang, otherwise he will not eat the good fruit of Li Otai.

In Southeast Asia, the fate of the war with Lan Fang is obvious, and the Governor of British Malaya is the best example.

In less than three years after the founding of Lanfang, the selection of the British governor in British Malaya has been changed again and again, and the second term has only been in office for two months, and even before he took office in British Malaya, he has been removed because of the unfavorable war situation.

The current Governor of British Malaya, Qin Zhiyuan, knew none other than Hubert Gough, who was the commander of the British Fifth Army in the World War.

Hubert Gough was still relatively smart, and after taking office, he actively repaired relations with Lan Fang, and the British had withdrawn from Sarawak, so now the relationship between Lan Fang and British Malaya has gradually eased, although the British lost the British Malayan territory on the big island of Wanghai State, but also kept the Malay Peninsula.

By now, the British can be sure that Lan Fong must have played a key role in the Sarawak rebellion against the British. But even if they knew, the British were helpless, the British were not capable of starting a war now, and the Lanfang people did not openly tear their faces with the British, the British could only knock out their teeth and swallow themselves in their stomachs.

Compared with the depressed British, the French are in a happy mood, Leotai and Qin Zhiyuan have reached a cooperation agreement, and the specific steps have to be discussed in detail, this is not what Qin Zhiyuan and Leothai have to do personally, but the task of the General Staff, so Qin Zhiyuan invited Leothai to sit in his office.

Cam Ranh Bay is the most important military port in Lanfang, Qin Zhiyuan has his own office here, and it is not appropriate to describe it as a practical office, and it is more appropriate to describe it as a "palace".

Like all offices, Qin Zhiyuan doesn't like splendor, and the decoration style has always been simple and practical, but because of his identity, the utensils used are naturally carved out by skilled craftsmen, which is a bit of a low-key and luxurious feeling.

Sitting on the balcony of Qin Zhiyuan's office, Qin Zhiyuan poured a glass of red wine for Leotai, sat comfortably on the rosewood recliner, and looked at the "Lanfang" in the military port, Qin Zhiyuan could really feel the leisure and comfort that was completely different from Europe.

It's true that the mood is good, at least the air is much stronger than in Europe, and the sun is brighter.

"You really gave me a big problem, what I'm most worried about now is where to get the army, you don't know what the poverty in the governor's palace looks like, and the military spending for the second half of the year has not yet been settled." When Leothai arrived here, he lost his spirits just now, and remembering the "tragic" reality, Leotah's mood was a little low.

If you want to conquer Siam, you definitely need an army, and the biggest problem in Leotei's hands now is that there is no army. Compared with the French mainland, French Indochina is also considered to be a vast territory, but there are only two infantry divisions in the entire spell Indochina, and there are no naval and air forces at all, which is very different from the powerful Lanfang.

The military power of the entire French Indochina is not even comparable to that of Cam Ranh Bay.

Lan Fang has always stationed heavy troops in Cam Ranh Bay, and in the earliest days, there were two semi-mechanized divisions stationed here, but now because of the establishment of Greve's Marine Corps, the garrison has been replaced by the Marine Corps.

Griff deployed two brigades of marines in Cam Ranh Bay, each with more than 11,000 men, which was not much smaller than the average French infantry division, and the powerful Cam Ranh Bay fleet was much stronger than Leotey's hands.

"There are also a lot of factories and mines here, can you be so poor?" Qin Zhiyuan didn't care.

Like other French colonies, the meaning of the existence of French Indochina is to export industrial raw materials to the French mainland, and at the same time, it will also import some industrial products, which will become a dumping market for French products.

"It's a little, but it's all in the hands of cunning merchants, and trying to collect taxes from them is like killing them." Leothai didn't have a good impression of the businessman, and he didn't speak politely.

Relatively speaking, the French still attach great importance to the importance of taxation, of course, French businessmen are not fuel-efficient lamps, as long as they have the heart, taxes are not inevitable, and they are also fair and honest "tax evasion".

"You can report to Congress." Qin Zhiyuan made suggestions, no matter what, Qin Zhiyuan would not help Leotai bear the military expenses.

"Report? Don't dream, I'm afraid that by the time those reports are approved, Siam will already be in your pocket. Leotey looked at Qin Zhiyuan and smiled a little weirdly.

In the world war, Qin Zhiyuan was still Leotai's subordinate, so even if Qin Zhiyuan has now become the king, Leotai has not changed his attitude towards Qin Zhiyuan. Of course, this may be Leotai's deliberate use of this attitude to express his closeness to Qin Zhiyuan.

"Even if there is enough military spending, I can't raise a strong army, don't think I don't know, look at your Foreign Legion, at least a third of them are Annamite, you are really greedy, why don't you get all the Annamite people to help you fight?" Leotai turned the conversation back to Qin Zhiyuan.

"I do, but that's not appropriate." Qin Zhiyuan did not deny it, and accepted all the accusations against Leothai.

"You'll still know it's not appropriate?" Leotera didn't mean to let Qin Zhiyuan go.

"It's definitely not appropriate, those women, the elderly, the children—" Qin Zhiyuan's way of thinking was different from Leotai's.

"It's crazy - I mean, you don't understand what I mean." Leothai rolled his eyes sharply to show his speechlessness.

"Don't worry, I don't have any idea about Annan, no matter how much I want to get, Annan will always be the Annan of France." Qin Zhiyuan said that he swore a good word, and it seemed really sincere.

To be honest, Leotai was also worried about Qin Zhiyuan's aggressiveness, staying next to Lan Fang and looking at the current situation in Japan and British Malaya, Leotai had reason to remind Qin Zhiyuan.

Of course, Qin Zhiyuan also understood what Leotai meant, but from Lan Fang's point of view, Qin Zhiyuan still hoped that France could withdraw from Asia, including Britain and the United States, they should withdraw from Asia and give Asians a pure Asia.

Of course, this sentence can also be translated as Qin Zhiyuan's hope that the power in Asia will be simpler, so that Lanfang can play a more important regional role.

Qin Zhiyuan would definitely not say this in front of Leotei, but when it was appropriate, Qin Zhiyuan didn't mind stirring up the relationship between the French and the Annanes, or that sentence, there are no eternal friends, no eternal enemies, only eternal interests. (To be continued.) )
