On 24 April, the First Route Army of the Chinese Expeditionary Force was still marching in Tsarist Russia and Kazakhstan, and Britain urgently built airfields in India, Afghanistan, Iran, and other places to facilitate the Chinese to drive the planes sold to them back to Britain, and at the same time, the 300 warplanes that China was preparing to participate in the European war were also preparing for an expedition to Europe, and were also preparing to borrow these airfields to sail to the Persian Gulf region, and the task force of the naval forces participating in the European war had already marched towards the Persian Gulf under the leadership of Shen Shoukun.

In the morning, Yang Shiqi, who had returned to the capital yesterday, came to the presidential palace to meet Xiao Zhenlei, "Report to the president, I'm back!" ”

Xiao Zhenlei raised his head with a smile when he heard this, and got up and said, "Mr. Yang is back, come on, please sit here!" ”

Yang Shiqi hurriedly said: "I can't afford to be the president, the president will sit first!" ”

"Okay, you can come too!"

After the two sat down, Xiao Zhenlei asked, "Mr. Yang, how is the situation in Southeast Asia?" Although you said it in general terms in the telegram, I would like to hear the details".

"Okay, President!" Yang Shiqi agreed, and immediately said: "King Nguyen Phuc Chang of the Nguyen Dynasty of Vietnam, King Sisavang of Luang Prabang of Laos in Laos? Vong, King Uyan of Bhutan? Wangchuck, King Tribhuvan of Nepal, King Sisowa of the Phnom Penh Dynasty in Cambodia, and the last king of the former Burmese Gongbang Dynasty are all very supportive of joining our Great Chinese Federation, this situation is also predictable, after all, during the British and French colonial period, they actually have no power, if they can join our Great China Federation, although they still can't govern, but they can enjoy the treatment that the king deserves. However, for the former Burmese king's tin robe, I only temporarily stabilized him. There was no agreement or sign with him to the relevant treaty".

Xiao Zhenlei said: "Oh? Why is that? ”

Yang Shiqi explained: "President, that's right. As far as I know, now the whole territory of Myanmar has little sense of belonging to this Gongbang dynasty and his last king, after all, he and his royal family have been under house arrest by the British in India for decades, and the Burmese people have not had much impression of him and his royal family, and the Gongbang Dynasty did not contribute much to the people, and the people in Myanmar do not remember them, and it is understandable that they do not have much support for them, so I did not immediately agree to sign a treaty with him, this time the king is already old and I came to the capital. Now they have been placed in the State Guest House by the diplomatic department, it depends on when the president sometimes meets them indirectly! ”

"In addition, there are three regions such as Bangladesh, India east of Bengal, and Malaysia, and I have not yet come into contact with the local political forces, and in fact, there are basically no political forces in these three regions, and even if they do, they have just organized themselves and want to pursue their own interests in front of us, in fact, during the British and French rule. These regional political forces have long been eradicated! ”

Xiao Zhenlei lit a cigarette and smoked it, thinking about whether to support the local political forces in these areas, and after a few minutes, he asked, "Does the intelligence department already have some knowledge of the situation in these areas?" ”

"Yes. Great President! ”

Xiao Zhenlei took a puff of his cigarette and waved his hand: "Since there was no political power in these areas before, there is no need for it now, and it cannot exist in the future." He ordered the intelligence department to cooperate, and ordered the garrison to dispatch to wipe out all these political forces that had just emerged. Give them some charges and do a better job. Don't provoke a revolt from the local population! ”

"Understood!" Yang Shiqi happily agreed, and said, "President, what about the former Burmese king Xipao and his family?" ”

Xiao Zhenlei said: "Since their family is here, let them live in the capital, find a beautiful house for their family, don't let them contact the outside world, and don't let outsiders contact them!" The government will immediately send officials to take over power in the above areas, and incorporate these areas into the territory of China as soon as possible, and I propose to divide Malaysia into two provinces, the Malay Peninsula in the south of Siam as West Tien Nam, the northern part of Borneo as East Tien Nam, the Bengal region as West Bengal, and the Indian region east of Bengal as East Bengal Province."

Yang Shiqi said with a smile: "In this way, Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, Bhutan, Siam and other countries have become countries within countries surrounded by our country!" ”

Xiao Zhenlei also smiled: "Yes, if they are a country within a country surrounded by our country, if they have a little disobedience, what awaits them is a catastrophe!" In this way, since those kings have come to the capital, let them stay for a few more days, and let us make a good arrangement, but we have arranged them in those areas, and then canonize them and let them go back, with our prior arrangements, even if they are not subservient, they will not be able to make big waves."

Yang Shiqi comprehended and said: "The president is wise, and his subordinates will definitely arrange it properly!" ”

Among the outdated kings in Southeast Asia, only the former Burmese king Xipao was the most unlucky, he was very young and was captured by the British and his family to India and imprisoned, before being released, and the family was confined in the capital, and the South China Sea really became the inner lake of China.

If China occupies the Malayan Peninsula and holds the Strait of Malacca, in terms of strategic position, the advantage of occupying the Malay Peninsula is quite large, and China occupies all the islands in the former German Pacific Ocean, and the Philippines, a US colony, is again under the strategic encirclement of China, and China can instigate the local Filipino people to resist the colonial rule of US imperialism at any time, and sooner or later it can drive the power of US imperialism out of Asia.

After a week, Xiao Zhenlei arranged for people to bring the kings of the Southeast Peninsula to the presidential palace to meet them, the kings of the Southeast Peninsula felt quite fresh in the first two days of the capital, but the longer the time, the more panicked they became, after all, the most important thing in their hearts now is the canonization, only after the canonization, they can be justified, they can go back to their own country, if not canonized, they can't leave the capital for a day, of course, even if they are canonized, they may not be able to leave the capital, but if they are canonized, it means that the high-level of Huaguo has recognized them.

Several kings were led to the reception hall by the staff of the presidential palace, and these kings were led to their respective positions to sit down, and some staff members served them tea and poured water, but these kings did not dare to be presumptuous at will, and they all sat honestly in their respective positions.

I don't know how long it took, just when these kings couldn't bear to suffer, Xiao Zhenlei finally appeared, and the kings were so excited in their hearts, they all knelt down and kowtowed to Xiao Zhenlei in accordance with the rules of the Qing Dynasty and shouted long live, which made Xiao Zhenlei cry and laugh.

After asking the staff to help these people up, Xiao Zhenlei smiled and said: "Kings, now is not the pre-Qing Dynasty, we are not in vogue now, please take a seat!" ”

Although Xiao Zhenlei said this, these kings did not dare to be presumptuous, and they all sat on the sofa with only half of their buttocks, and made a respectful appearance.

Xiao Zhenlei asked, "Kings, how are you doing in the capital these days?" Are you still used to it? ”

"I'm not used to it, the wind and sand in the capital are so big!" Sisova, the king of the Phnom Penh dynasty of Cambodia, said without thinking about it.

The faces of the other kings changed when they heard this, and King Tribhuwen of Nepal hurriedly said: "President, we are living very well here, life in the capital is very good, the capital is very well built, there are so many high-rise buildings, this is something I have never seen before, if I can, I would like to live in the capital forever!" ”

Several other wise kings also hurriedly said: "Yes, King Tribwen is right, the capital is the best place, and it is an honor for me to be able to see the great president often and listen to the teachings of the great president at any time!" ”

The king of the Phnom Penh Dynasty of Cambodia, Sisowa, knew that he had said the wrong thing, didn't it be clear that he wanted Xiao Zhenlei to be canonized as soon as possible and let them go back immediately? Xiao Zhenlei could be happy when he heard that? Canonization or not, whether they are allowed to go back or not, it all depends on whether Xiao Zhenlei is happy or not, if he is unhappy, they will not want to go back for the rest of their lives.

Xiao Zhenlei watched the performances of these kings, although he wanted to keep these kings in the capital and annex all the Southeast Peninsula, but he also knew that now was not the time, not to mention that these kings had more or less prestige in the country, although they had no rights, but the people did not forget them, it was not difficult to keep them in the capital, it was rare to digest the entire Southeast Peninsula, it was basically impossible to have a hundred years, But Xiao Zhenlei knows that he doesn't have hundreds of years to digest the Southeast Peninsula, it won't take too long, nationalism will rise all over the world, and then the colonies around the world will be independent, rather than hurriedly dealing with the rising wave of nationalism in these regions, it is better to establish a tributary system now, and govern the locals with the locals, and the Chinese authorities only need remote control, so that Huaguo can support any local political force at any time, and whoever is obedient will support whomever it wants, and always control these areas in their hands.

Xiao Zhenlei said with a smile: "I understand your thoughts, the canonization of you is being prepared, it will take some time, so please be patient, don't be impetuous, in addition, today I invite you to come over just to talk to you, in the future, although you can no longer govern, but you are still the supreme leader of your country, you are the faith in the hearts of the local people, I hope you can always be consistent with our country, and contribute to the Great China Federation, Don't listen to the demagoguery of foreign evil forces, don't get hot, if something happens then, don't blame me for not being able to save you! ”

The kings of various countries hurriedly said: "Rest assured, the president, we will never be bewitched by any foreign forces, we will always be consistent with China, always unite around Great China, and always be a member of the Great China Federation!" ”

Although these kings all expressed their loyalty one by one, Xiao Zhenlei still canonized them more than a month earlier, and these canonized kings were able to return to their own countries, but at that time, the Chinese side had already arranged their country, and they could only choose to be a constitutional king with peace of mind, and they could not manage things.
