With the signing of this agreement on aid to North Korea, the gentry and celebrities in the country have also been quite controversial about this idea. Because in everyone's eyes, this North Korea is just a vassal state of China, and it has been like this since ancient times. And now Wang Guorui took the initiative to help them be "independent", which made many scholars from the old era feel dissatisfied. Those Conservative Party guys attacked even harder, apparently scolding Wang Guorui and the cabinet members badly. Even some people who don't know the truth have some opinions, but Wang Guorui still goes his own way and will not choose to listen.

Because this vassal state is indeed a huge trouble, just like the United States in the future, although it could have swallowed Canada and Mexico, but did not dare. Because as the times progress, the cost of annexing a country is too great. The ensuing political and economic costs are not something that a country is willing to bear casually, and this is also the disadvantage of a civil state. The conquered cannot be easily treated as slaves, after all, slavery is outdated and cannot continue to exist for a long time. Even Wang Guorui only intends to keep the slave status of those natives in Nanyang for twenty years, and if they can survive twenty years, then maybe they can also consider giving them citizenship, of course, maybe there is not one in a thousand! However, if there is no contribution, and they are directly given citizenship status, then the local citizens will also be dissatisfied, and the ensuing blow to the economy and people's will will also be very huge.

So instead of doing this, it is better to give them a chance to be "independent", but secretly control them economically and militarily, and then let them appear to have an independent government on the surface, but in fact secretly their army and economy are controlled, so the benefits are greater. Because once you become a citizen of your own country, you naturally can't just exploit it, not only is it not for profit. It's adding a burden to yourself.

"Qiu Baoren, I suggest that we intend to launch a landing operation on the Ryukyu Islands in the near future and then occupy the Ryukyu Islands. Then we will go from the Ryukyu Islands all the way to the Pacific Ocean, and then finally occupy the Hawaiian Islands. Wang Guorui said.

And Qiu Baoren also felt very pressured when he looked at the Ocean Pacific Plan that spanned so far. He came from the navy, and he knew that doing so would require a long expedition. At that time, the supply of the navy and other things will also be very stressful. It's hard to say what difficulties you will encounter at that time. If it is a war against the Ryukyus, then it is understandable, after all, the Ryukyus used to be a vassal state of China, and after being occupied by Japan, it was renamed Okinawa Prefecture, so it is understandable to take it back for its own vassal state.

But if you want to go on an expedition to fight Hawaii, what kind of medicine is sold in this kingdom's gourd? At such a distance, what is there that Wang Guorui can target? At such a distance, he couldn't feel anything to get his hands on. What good can be obtained. In this vast Pacific Ocean, there is not much to plot. As for the fishery resources? This is no joke, fishery resources have not even been developed in China's coastal areas at present, and where do you want to develop fishery resources?

"Your Majesty, what do you want to do here?" Qiu Baoren asked.

Wang Guorui nodded and said: "Actually, it's very simple, I just want to curb the development of the United States!" ”

"Containment of the United States? Do they deserve it too? Qiu Baoren said disdainfully.

Wang Guorui once again emphasized: "In the future, the one who is qualified to compete with us is the United States!" ”

"Your Majesty. Their army is so poor, we ...... last time" Qiu Baoren obviously looks down on the American army. Considers the U.S. military vulnerable.

"Qiu Baoren, you have to remember that the flesh and blood of the future army can no longer withstand the steel and fire of the enemy. In the future, human physical training will no longer be the most important factor in determining the battlefield, but one of the second. Although the level of training of American soldiers is relatively poor at present, I may not even estimate that it will be much better in the future. But in the future they will be different. In the future, once science and technology develop, then maybe human beings don't need to fight with flesh and blood at all, almost everyone is sitting in a chariot to fight, and at that time, a person's physical fitness will not have much impact on this aspect. So. Do you think that their training level is poor, or is it a reason? Wang Guorui asked.

"But this American is not very good at the moment, is he? It seems that there is no news all over the world? Moreover, Your Majesty, don't you also have a ...... with the American dancer Miss Duncan" Qiu Baoren immediately shut up, obviously he knew that this kind of thing was not something that one of his courtiers could discuss.

Regarding Duncan being Wang Guorui's woman, the whole world knows this, and it is not a strange thing. However, Wang Guorui did not restrict Duncan's freedom of performance, but only sent female agents to protect her by her side, and they could also play a certain role in monitoring and avoiding cuckolding Wang Guorui.

And Wang Guorui also has some industries in the United States, and has a lot of cooperation with the Americans, but now he actually has to calculate other Americans?

"Just because the United States has no news in the world, don't you think it's scary?" Wang Guorui asked.

"Is this scary?" Qiu Baoren obviously didn't know the meaning of this.

Wang Guorui said: "What is the international news, it is nothing more than the so-called friendly exchanges between countries, and what wars, or open and secret battles between countries, this is the 'news'." He is currently in the mainstream countries of the world, and there is not much news about him. The lack of news means that they are not involved in the open and covert struggle between the major powers. And what does this mean? ”

"Let me tell you another story, why was the Qin State able to unify the world back then? During the Qin period, they had the natural danger of the Tiger Prison Pass, and then they could contain the eastern vassal states from attacking the Qin state. In addition to the Shang Dynasty's reform, the Qin State also has an important advantage, that is, it will not easily get involved in the struggle between countries. The countries of the Warring States Seven Heroes are fighting each other, and the Qin State is sitting on a natural risk, and then they can go out to fight twice when they need to, and they can come back when they don't need to, and the countries can't effectively fight him at all. Therefore, countries tend to go to war with each other for ******** reasons. And after they start the war, there will definitely be losses, and the Qin State can cultivate and recuperate well, and finally can steadily and gradually destroy those countries one by one. Moreover, Qin Guo's proposal of distant friendship and close attack is also a very well-versed ******** politician's thought, although the word ******** was not used at that time, but it definitely adopted this kind of thinking. ”

"And why are we in China jealous of Westerners? Why did they help Japan during the Manchu era? Why did the Russians support the invasion on their own initiative? In fact, they supported Japan and Russia, in fact, because they wanted to find opponents for the Manchus and prevent the Manchus from being stable. Let's not talk about our ancient things, let's just talk about how the British rose back then? They adopted a strategy called the Continental Balance of Power, in which they used their geographical advantages to contain the rise of states on the European continent by various means. When France was strong, they fought France with other countries, and the Germans rose up, and they united with France to contain Germany. Most of them will continue to do the same, they will all support the weaker countries, and then work together to fight the most powerful countries on the European continent. In the end, they reached equilibrium and did not pose a threat to Britain. ”

"At that time, the light came to the present, and as the means of transportation and communication became more and more abundant, the Europeans began to sail, and finally the United States became a colony, and finally succeeded in establishing an independent state. Then they came to us in the East, which is equivalent to pulling the East and the West together, and we in the East have to be involved in the struggle of the Westerners. And they know that the problem of our East is that there is only one strong country in the East, China, and once we have a qualified government and leader in China, China's population and resources will inevitably make China rise gradually. Finally, it is even capable of threatening the position of world leadership in Europe as a whole. Although their European countries have played dog brains in the brains of Europeans, but in terms of ********, they will also hope that we in the East will not rise, and then ensure their European leadership. ”

"And the three major geographical, political, economic, and cultural sectors of the world, Europe, our East, and the last one is the Americas. And isn't the status of Americans in the Americas similar to the environment and status of China in the East? So I plan not to be able to make the Americans so comfortable, I plan to use these Pacific islands to form an island chain, and then use it to contain the United States from developing in our direction, forcing them to develop in Europe, and finally have to conflict with the Europeans. In the event of a conflict between them and Europe, we can be almost very relieved. ”

"And these three island chains, I will draw them like this!"

Wang Guorui drew about three dotted lines on the map, and if the Americans of later generations saw this, they would definitely find that this is not the three chains that the Americans drew for China in the South China Sea. This is the famous three island chains, and the Americans never dreamed that Wang Guorui would actually use their practices to restrict them in turn. Wang Guorui did not feel any shame in this kind of direct pick-up of people's teeth, but instead followed the example and let them Americans dig their own pits and jump by themselves.
