There are only two paths before these colonial peoples, either peaceful independence or armed independence. Maybe there's a third way? At least Yan Shao didn't come up with it. Of course, if they were planning to incorporate into France, then Yan Shao had not said anything.

Listening to Yan Shao's words, Ho Chi Minh and his companions glanced at each other, and only after half a sound did Ho Chi Minh speak. "What you said, we have also considered, so we will come to visit you this time, hoping to get the support of you and other righteous countries, as long as there is the support of your country and other countries, I believe that France should return our freedom..."

Sitting next to Ho Chi Minh, his companions nodded in agreement.

Seeing that Ho Chi Minh was so naïve, Yan Shao shook his head, and Caterina, who was sipping wine on the side, showed a sneering smile. It's just that there is a wine glass in the way, so no one notices it, but her bewitching posture almost dazzles everyone's eyes.

Yan Shao naturally doesn't like to drink, and so does Elaine, but that doesn't mean that the rest of the family doesn't drink either. At least Caterina usually drinks some wine or sherry or the like, Kaoru Otsuki and Lu Ying will taste some more or less, only Yan Shao and Elano will never touch wine unless necessary...

On the other side, after shaking his head, Yan Shao had to break their illusions. "If support is useful, then there will not be so many colonies in this world, and there will be no fourth independent country in the vast Far East, except for China, Japan and Thailand. Haven't you ever wondered why? Even Thailand has survived only because Britain and France need a country to exist as a buffer zone between the two countries..."

"But..."I heard Yan Shao say this. Ho Chi Minh opened his mouth. "If you have the support of your country, then..."

"Just by talking, you can't make France give up the whole of Vietnam..." Yan Shao glanced at Ho Chi Minh with a smile. Haven't you already met Wilson, and haven't you understood what happened there? ”

"This..."Hearing Yan Shao's words, Ho Chi Minh and the others looked a little surprised, and at the same time a little embarrassed, after all, they were the ones who went to find someone else. Then came to find Yan Shao. It's like asking someone for help, first I went to ask someone else, but it didn't work out. After looking for someone else, it is easy to make people feel that they are not taken seriously, or they can change to a more popular term when Yan Shaogang crossed―――――― 'spare tire'.

On the sidelines, I learned that Ho Chi Minh and they were actually the first to go to the Americans. The faces of those staff members were a little ugly. After all, in their opinion. If the Vietnamese wanted to find someone to help, they should be the first to come to them with the same skin color, but they just...

On the other hand, after a cautious glance at Yan Shao, Ho Chi Minh and the others were a little worried that he would be angry, and at the same time they were thinking about how to explain it. However, in the face of Ho Chi Minh and others, Yan Shao smiled 'haha'. "Don't worry, it's nothing...", Yan Shao looked at the empty cup in his hand. After thinking about it, he took the cup from Caterina's hand. Then she took a sip and put it back in her hand―――――― compared to other alcohol, Yan Shao was more acceptable to fruit wine.

"It's nothing, after all, you will always want more people to help, not to mention that President Wilson also made a 'Wilson Fourteen' before he came, which will inevitably make you have some illusions, but what the truth is, I believe you should already know it." The members of the Secret Service in Paris, after the heads of state arrived in Paris, have begun to be responsible for monitoring the heads of state of various countries, and Wilson is naturally among them, so Yan Shao is very clear about Ho Chi Minh and they went to see Wilson first...

At the same time, listening to Yan Shao's words, the expressions of Ho Chi Minh and the others looked a little depressed.

Because as Yan Shao said, they already knew what the truth was, that Wilson was a liar at all, and he didn't intend to help them at all.

"Why is this happening?" muttered, Ho Chi Minh was a little incomprehensible.

"Why?" Yan Shao laughed, and Caterina on the side also smiled lightly, looking very beautiful.

"The reason is simple, because the Americans know very well that they will not be able to get France to cede their colonies by lip service, otherwise do you think they don't want to help you? You must know that these Americans have always advocated free trade, while Britain and France have a monopoly on the economy in their colonies, and if Britain and France do not have many colonies, it will be okay, but these two countries occupy more than half of the colonies in the world..."

"So—" Ho Chi Minh seemed to understand a little.

"So, it is precisely because it is clear that peaceful ways will not help you to achieve independence, that Wilson did not help you..."

"Is it impossible for your country to unite with the United States and other countries?" Ho Chi Minh's expression was a little depressed when he said this, after all, it meant that the cause he had fought for in the past was not realistic at all.

Listening to Ho Chi Minh's words, Yan Shao shook his head and said. "If our country and the United States are willing to fight a war with France for your country, then maybe there is no problem, although France is very strong, but after the weakening of the European war, the strength is already the lowest level this year, our country and the United States at the same time, there is almost no possibility of failure, but ......... Do you think it's realistic to have our country go to war with the United States and France for your country..."

Hearing Yan Shao say this, Ho Chi Minh opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say.

And by Ho Chi Minh's side, one of his companions said a little unceremoniently. "But it is your country and the U.S. government that have a responsibility to uphold justice..."

"It's hard to say in my country, but the United States doesn't..." took the wine glass from Caterina again, moistened his throat, ignored Katarina's eyes, Yan Shao said with a smile. Don't forget, the United States has colonies in Asia, such as the Philippines and Guam, and they support your independence, so what should you do in these two places? You can't let these two places be independent for your sake..."

"Then why did the United States propose Wilson's Fourteen Articles..."

"That's for Europeans. Not for you, and if the colonies of the world can be independent, it will be the best for the United States. In this way, even if the Philippines is independent, they don't care much, after all, there are no colonies, they can promote free trade, the Philippines is independent, it seems that they have lost some colonies, but the colonies of the world have disappeared. The benefits they can get are even greater..."As he spoke, Yan Shao glanced at Katarina.

No way, who said that the current colonies of the United States are all obtained from Spain.

"This..."After listening to Yan Shao's words, Ho Chi Minh and the others were finally completely disappointed. However, after looking at Yan Shao's expression, Ho Chi Minh said again. "I don't know what do you think we should do, Mr. President?"

"What should I do?" He looked at Ho Chi Minh and the people around him. Yan Shao was silent for a moment. At this time, Caterina waved her hand to the staff around her. Without even saying anything, the staff had already retreated from the living room very sensibly, and only when only Yan Shao, Katerina, Ho Chi Minh and his companions were left in the room, Yan Shao spoke. "I think your only hope is to gain independence through armed struggle..."

"Armed struggle," Ho Chi Minh muttered.

"That's right." Yan Shao nodded. "Even if you fight against the French by force, this is the only way to get rid of French rule in a short time..."

listened to Yan Shao's words. Ho Chi Minh and the others looked at each other before being asked by the other. "Is there no other way?" although he has been clamoring for rebellion against the French. But in their hearts, after all, there is still some weakness.

Listening to his words, Yan Shao leaned back on the sofa and said with a smile after smiling. "For the rest of the matter, you can only pray that the French will show kindness and allow you to become independent..."

Listening to Yan Shao's words, Ho Chi Minh and the others were immediately choked.

After listening to what Yan Shao just said, even Ho Chi Minh knew very well that it was unrealistic to expect France, and likewise, it was unrealistic to expect Americans, and the rest seemed to be left...

Looking at Yan Shao, Ho Chi Minh's mouth opened slightly.

However, as if he knew what Ho Chi Minh wanted to say, Yan Shao spoke first. "I believe you also know that we have just occupied the Asian part of Russia, and now we need time to digest the benefits obtained this time, so we cannot directly send troops to help your country for the time being, and our country's relations with France can also be said to be very good, and it is really impossible to help your country directly confront France..."

After speaking, seeing Ho Chi Minh's face showing a disappointed expression, Yan Shao continued. "Well, we can provide some more ordinary help to your country, after all, both of us have the same skin color..."

"I don't know what kind of help!" Hearing Yan Shao say this, Ho Chi Minh asked a little nervously.

"Funding, intelligence, and equipment, if necessary, we can even allow your resistance groups to retreat to our territory, and so on..."

In order to achieve Yan Shao's goal, Vietnam can also be called an extremely important part of his plan, so Yan Shao is naturally willing to help Vietnam with some 'small favors'. Similarly, since it is to get the Vietnamese to stand up against the French, it is unlikely not to give some sweetness, so Yan Shao is more generous in this regard.

After listening to Yan Shao's support, some of Ho Chi Minh's companions suddenly showed happy expressions. However, Ho Chi Minh asked in a deep voice after frowning. "I wonder if we can send some officers over to help us train the troops..."

With a hint of appreciation in his eyes, Yan Shao nodded. "Of course it's no problem...", Yan Shao glanced at Ho Chi Minh with some appreciation.

It certainly matters if there are funds, weapons, and even other things, but if no one trains the resistance in Vietnam into a qualified army, then even if the Vietnamese can finally drive the French out of Vietnam, the losses will not be less than that of the Vietnamese, so it is very necessary for China to send some more powerful officers to assist the Vietnamese in training the army.

Because only in this way can the Vietnamese deal a heavier blow to the French―――――― naturally, Yan Shao will definitely feel a little sorry for Eleno and the Tarys couple, but it is a matter of national interests, and some things can only be put aside, as for the old guy in Bertrand...

Hey, Yan Shaocai won't care what he thinks...

――――――――――――――――――――

Yan Shao's support was indeed not small, and it was also a great encouragement to Ho Chi Minh's partners. Immediately afterwards, Yan Shao and Ho Chi Minh discussed many things, such as contact, etc., and at the end, Yan Shao pointed to Katarina and said to Ho Chi Minh.

Next, the contact between the government of the state and Ho Chi Minh and others will be carried out through the Guò Special Affairs Bureau.

After Yan Shao's introduction, Caterina also nodded slightly at them.

It should be noted that not long ago, Yan Shao and Ho Chi Minh communicated in French, and Caterina naturally knew French, so there was no problem in communicating with each other at all.

Later, Katerina also briefed them on the power of the Special Service in Vietnam. In fact, the Special Affairs Bureau has not been idle in recent years, and tens of millions of dollars a year have not been wasted, and now the Special Affairs Bureau in Vietnam has considerable strength, and even controls several more powerful resistance organizations, which are much stronger than a bare-bones commander like Ho Chi Minh...

It's just that when she introduced it, Katarina's heart was a little surprised, and she didn't know why Yan Shao would look at Ho Chi Minh differently, after all, Ho Chi Minh now has nothing in his hands, and in Katarina's opinion, he doesn't even have the value of use. But since this is Yan Shao's decision, Caterina has no choice but to help to the end...

After learning so much about the situation, Ho Chi Minh was both surprised and a little scruples, after all, what Yan Shao had just said had proved that Yan Shao did have some plans against Vietnam.

Thinking of the stab that Yan Shao stabbed Russia in the back not long ago, although he knew that it was not good to do so, Ho Chi Minh still said a little unpleasantly.

"We are indeed very touched by your country's help, but I don't know what we need to pay for these supports..." (To be continued......)
