Part 4 The Journey Chapter 186 Nanyang New Deal (5)
Liu Bailiang flicked his fingers on the table: "Go on, we won't pretend to be dumb if there is a problem." ”
Zhang Zhigao didn't raise his eyes, as if Liu Bailiang was just a ball of air, and he continued to speak passionately and frustratedly: "Next is the ancient country of Brunei, known as Bo Ni in ancient times, which was established in the 15th century, also known as Brunei Darussalam, and occupied Borneo at its peak, that is, the northern coast of Kalimantan Island, and the land included Sarawak and Sabah, which were later included in Malaysia. In 1841, the British adventurer Ding Brooke, who was supported by Britain and the United States, forced the Sultan of Brunei to confer more than 120,000 square kilometers of land in northwest Borneo by means of deception and blackmail, and established the so-called Sarah: Brunei itself, with less than 6,000 square kilometers of land centered on Bandar Seri Begawan. ”
"In 1888, Brunei, Sabah and Sarawak were occupied by the Japanese during the Great War of Brunei, Sabah and Sarawak, which brought an end to the Brooke dynasty in Sarawak. After the war, in 1946, the British formally annexed Sabah and Sarawak, the former renamed North Raju, and both of them were granted autonomy and added to the two states of ~ in 1963. Brunei was regained British control in 1946 and became fully independent through negotiations. Due to the abundance of oil and gas in the territory, it has become one of the richest countries in the world by the beginning of the 21st century, and it is also one of the few monarchies in the 21st century. ”
"Here, after the start of the Asia-Pacific Liberation War. The empire did not immediately attack Brunei, and the Second South China Sea Group, which was in charge of the East Indies strategy, first marched into Sarawak with Kuching as its capital and Sabah with Kota Jinabaru as its capital, overthrowing the white colonial regime of the former, and liberating the latter from the puppet status of the protectorate. The British garrison in Brunei was suppressed at a very small cost. After that, Brunei and Sabah applied to join the East Asian Association, which has been approved by the ASEAN General Assembly, and the two countries will join the sacred Asia-Pacific Liberation War as full members of ASEAN in the future. ”
As soon as Zhang Zhigao's voice fell, Zhang Yaoqian pressed the table and said: "Brunei has picked up a big bargain, forget it, it is just a large area of primeval forest without railways and roads, and it is better to make them a nature reserve." Let their Sultan be grateful and do their part. Well, since the restoration of the old country and the land has been postponed to 1841. It's time for the Lanfang Republic to be restored, right? ”
In 1777, Luo Fangbo changed the "company" to the "Republic" and became the "Lanfang Republic", also known as the Southern Republic, with the capital of East Wanjin (north of Pontianak and west of Sanggao), and the first year of the founding of the country was set in 1777. The head of state is called the chief of the Tang Dynasty or the guest chief of the Tang Dynasty, which means that the Chinese are the heads of overseas guests, and "the major affairs of the country are carried out by the people", which is passed down in a form similar to democratic elections and Zen concessions. Chen Lanbo was the first chief minister, and Luo Fangbo was the second chief minister, until 1884, when it was occupied by the Dutch, and served as 12 commanders in more than 100 years.
"It's not reinstatement. It's liberation. Zhang Zhigao patted his notebook, "Although the Dutch occupied Lanfang 30 years ago, they have never officially announced the annexation. Rather, after expelling the power of Chinese rule, they set up a local puppet regime to carry out colonial rule in the name of Lanfang, and in the history of that time and space, the Dutch did not officially annex Lanfang until 1912 after the fall of the Qing Empire. And here, the country of Lanfang still exists, although it is no longer the original Chinese republic, but from a moral point of view, it is undoubtedly a righteous measure to liberate Lanfang from the clutches of the Dutch colonists! As for who will be in charge of Lanfang after liberation, it is naturally up to the government of our empire, which is more civilized and just than the Dutch colonial bandits, to decide......"
At the same time, the Cabinet and the Ministry of Military Affairs worked closely together: first, they should bring back the upper-class descendants of the former Lanfang Kingdom who were exiled in Sumatra and Malaya as soon as possible; Second, with the military occupation as the backing, vigorously carry out the commercial development and immigration colonization of the empire, let local enterprises control the lifeline of the local economy, and use the new Chinese immigrants as the basis for Lanfang's future rule...... When the time is ripe, it can also prompt Lan Fang Chen to apply for annexation and become a special administrative region of the empire. Or we may consider merging Lan Fong with the Nanxing Autonomous Government that is scheduled to be established on the southern coast of Malaya, and create a powerful Chinese state in the central and vital areas of the Inner South Seas, as the vanguard of the empire's control of the region, and do some miscellaneous and dirty work that is inconvenient for the empire itself......"
Hearing this, Zhang Yaoqian suddenly clapped his hands: "Okay, I like this, the dignified leader of the Asia-Pacific Alliance, it's too shameless to go out in person for any trivial matter, there are a bunch of younger brothers pouting their butts below waiting for orders, if you want to fight, you can cut it, and when the time comes, the dirty water of public opinion will splash over, anyway, my boss didn't do it, and the little brother carried it in front of him - the royal road, the royal road!" ”
Liu Bailiang held his chin expressionlessly, and said procedurally word by word, "So, before the economic lifeline and ruling foundation of Lanfang Land are guaranteed to be grasped by me, the cabinet also agrees to continue to implement military control in the local area?" ”
Zhang Zhigao and Prime Minister Yang Zhengjin glanced at each other, nodded unhappily and said, "That's roughly what it means." When the time is ripe for the independent administration of the new Lanfang country, the cabinet will report it to the military department in a timely manner. ”
"Very well, go on." Liu Bailiang is like someone reincarnated.
Zhang Zhigao gently suppressed the disgust that sprouted in his heart, nodded and said, "Come again, I just mentioned the Nanxing Autonomous Government." According to the Sino-Siamese Secret Treaty signed before the war, the empire monopolized the coastal and southern regions of the Malay Peninsula, including Singapore Island and Penang, which were more economically developed and, more importantly, had a higher proportion of Chinese residents, while the areas allocated to Siam were mainly inhabited by Muslims, and if these areas were not given to Siam and monopolized by the empire, the overall Muslim majority would affect the establishment and operation of the new Chinese-dominated regime. Throwing this kind of trouble to Siam, which is about to revive the empire, not only satisfies the vanity of the younger brother, but also gives us convenience, which can be described as the best of both worlds. ”
"This predestined Chinese regime is tentatively named the Southern Star Autonomous Government, and its capital is set in Star City - the future name of Singapore, which means the southern star of the Gongwei Empire, its roots are in the empire, and the relationship with the empire is like a planet that follows gravity around the sun, and has remained unchanged for thousands of years!"
