After Ho Chi Minh and the others had all left, Yan Shao walked to the counter on the side, poured himself a glass of juice, and added some ice cubes to it by the way―――――― how many years of habit I have had, I am afraid that I can't change it if I want to.

But on the other hand, thinking of Ho Chi Minh's tangled expression, Yan Shao didn't feel that there was anything wrong with what he just said, because what he said was the truth. Just as Yan Shao just said, China is a big country, while other countries are small countries, this is a fact, and it cannot be changed.

In fact, in Yan Shao's vision, the future alliance will be an organization similar to the Warsaw Pact or NATO. It's just that this alliance is not only a simple military alliance, but also a political and economic alliance.

After integrating the countries of the Far East and all of Asia, this alliance is likely to become the world's largest military, economic, and political alliance.

China's position in this alliance is similar to that of the United States in NATO or the Soviet Union in the Warsaw Pact, both of which occupy a dominant position―――――― incidentally, Yan Shao does not intend to admit only yellow countries to this alliance, and white or black countries can join as long as they wish.

For example, in India, who do you say he is? Let's say he's white, it seems that white is a bit different, but if he is black, it seems that there is no such white black, if he is yellow...

Sorry, there really aren't such yellow people...

The problem is that, as a country or a nation, India is a bit of a 'funny'. But even so, with its huge population, it's hard to ignore his existence.

And in addition to India, there are countries such as Iran. And even some countries in South America, these are white countries. But if you don't do it, I'm sure the United States will be very interested...

Those countries in South America, not to mention anything else, are rich in resources and have a relatively large market, which is definitely not comparable to ordinary chicken ribs for China.

The problem is after almost a hundred years of humiliating history. Not to mention places like South America, even in the Far East, where it has been rooted for thousands of years, China's influence here has been weakened to a limit. Even now that China has become strong again. It is definitely not something that can be achieved overnight, and it may even take twenty or thirty years to restore that kind of influence.

Therefore, after the alliance is formed, how to effectively organize the countries within the alliance has become a very headache.

Yan Shao, who is in his 30s, is certainly not naïve enough to think that China alone has liberated these countries from the hands of the great powers. can make the other party follow him with all his heart. After all, every country has its own interests. When there is a dispute between the interests of both parties, how to deal with it becomes a difficult point.

This includes the complex relationship between allies and allies, as well as between China and its allies.

Similarly, if there is a contradiction or even a conflict between the two allies, how can Yan Shao stop it? If you don't have a strong enough influence, it's probably not easy to do it, as for expecting both parties to love each other? ―――――― whether it is the contradiction between Japan and South Korea in later generations. Or the countries of Indochina that have completed their independence are obviously not close to each other.

Especially those countries on the Indochina Peninsula. If Japan and South Korea are separated by a sea in the middle, it is difficult to cause conflict even if there are some contradictions between them, then few of those countries on the Indochina Peninsula are fuel-efficient lamps, especially the more ambitious countries like Vietnam, Thailand, Myanmar, and even Laos and Cambodia, if they are given some strength, it is difficult to guarantee that they will continue to be honest.

What's more, in addition to the above-mentioned countries, there are also Malaysia, Indonesia and other countries...

In Yan Shao's strategy, these countries are certainly very important, but how to resolve the contradictions in these countries is a headache.

Of course, if Yan Shao had a strong control over these countries, then the situation would be much easier to solve. For example, a considerable number of high-level people in the two countries are sent by China, and if other 'pro-China' people are counted, it will naturally be difficult for contradictions to arise.

The problem is that if it is simply sent by the national government, it may not be much at first, but after a long time, it is easy to arouse the disgust of the locals―――――― even in later generations, those who are sent by other countries to really hold real power usually have the title of adviser?

It is difficult not to feel disgusted when you think that the top levels of government in your own country are actually sent by people from other countries, even if they liberated themselves from the colonial rule of the 'imperialist' countries, especially after being associated with the new colonizers.

So instead of complicating things, it is better to hide the true identities of these dispatches from the beginning, let them live there as Vietnamese or other countries, and let them gradually gain power in these countries through guò support.

In this way, these people will become China's most powerful shadows in influencing these countries, and through these shadows, Yan Shao can even indirectly control all the rights and secrets of these countries. In the same way, there is no need to worry about such countries doing small things behind China's backs in private, because their small actions are not a secret to China at all.

Moreover, this method can be passed down from generation to generation, just like those political zhì families in later generations. It is especially important that Yan Shao does not have to worry about their betrayal, because their Chinese identity has proved that they can only stand with the Nationalist government forever.

The so-called non-ethnic group will have different hearts, even if one day they want to get rid of the control of the national government. As long as their identity as 'Chinese' is exposed, their future, fame, and even all other aspects will be completely wiped out. So even if these people or the descendants of these people are unwilling to live this kind of accused life, they can only barely endure it...

Therefore, for these people, Yan Shao can be completely assured.

Of course, Yan Shao did not fail to think of ways to improve the status of the local Chinese through guò, so that the Chinese would dominate the local area. The problem is that the impact of this is still too great after all, and it is also easy to cause conflicts between the locals and the Chinese, plus no matter what you think. The Chinese can only be a minority in the local area, and there are too many disadvantages of doing this, so after thinking about it. Yan Shao could only give up such a method and choose the previous method instead―――――― although it may take a while to get results, it is better to be safe, and it is much more secretive to control it. There won't be too many contradictions...

What Yan Shao has to do now. First of all, Luo Zhiping and Xiao Shan were arranged by Ho Chi Minh's side, and then all kinds of special people who had disguised their identities were arranged to join the groups and even political parties established by Ho Chi Minh in the future.

Basically, as long as this part of the people can account for one-third of the number at the top of the party, Yan Shao will not have to worry about anything else at all, because counting the number of the 'pro-China' faction, the two groups of people together can completely account for two-thirds of the number―――――― Yan Shao does not feel that with the influence and even cultivation of the Kuomintang and social government, the pro-China people will not even reach one-third.

And in the face of such a large pro-China force. Even if Ho Chi Minh or the subsequent rulers wanted to clean up, I am afraid they would have to think twice. What's more, there is also a national government standing there next to it.

Naturally, in order to ensure that if an accident happens, it will not be given a nest, and it is impossible for Yan Shao to stuff all the people sent over into the camp of the 'pro-China' faction, and other parties must also stuff some into it, so that on the one hand, they can provide some information, and on the other hand, it is also to prevent any accidents from really happening, don't be taken into a nest or something...

But then again...

"If one day a country like Vietnam really starts to act against the pro-China factions in the country, I believe that China at that time has fallen almost the same as it was in the former Qing Dynasty, in that case, even if there are many hidden shadows, it will be useless..." I'd love to have everything planned for the next few hundred years, but I don't have that ability after all, so I'd better take it slowly..."

Thinking so, Yan Shao smiled bitterly. "I can't have it all right..."

Just when Yan Shao was still there smiling helplessly, I don't know when, the door of the room was suddenly pushed open, and then Katerina was seen walking in from the outside.

The light in the corridor behind her was shining, making Caterina in a long black dress look like a goddess of the night, making Yan Shao involuntarily put the cup aside, and then greeted her...

At the same time, around a car in front of the steps outside the building, several guards with short hair or single ponytail, plump bodies and black suits that were almost fatal, looked at the lights that were originally on, but suddenly went out, but they couldn't help but chatter and gossip―――――― women, can you understand...

――――――――――――――――――――

In the early morning of the next day, Luo Zhiping and Xiao Shan took a car to the residence of Ho Chi Minh and others.

When they first met Luo and Xiao, Ho Chi Minh's companions were still a little puzzled, and they didn't know what these two people were doing. But after being introduced by Ho Chi Minh, these people quickly became suddenly and became much more enthusiastic.

Putting aside Ho Chi Minh's wariness of China, at least after years of French rule, these French people still have a sense of affinity for China. After all, when Vietnam was still a vassal state of China, they had not yet been born, and of course they did not know what it was like to be a family country.

Moreover, even when China was a vassal state, China rarely forced its vassal states to do anything, and life was much easier than it is now.

The most important point is that even they have little confidence in whether they can become independent from the French colonial rule on their own, so...

At the same time, in the face of the enthusiasm of these Vietnamese, Luo Zhiping and Xiao Shan were not arrogant at all, but faced everyone with a relatively equal attitude. It's as if they really saw the Vietnamese in front of them as companions.

The reason why this is the case is because Yan Shao had instructed them before they came that they must not be arrogant. Instead, we should try to win over the Vietnamese as much as possible, make them feel good about the Nationalist government, and then turn them into outright pro-China people, so that the Nationalist government can exert its influence in Vietnam.

Secondly...

Luo Zhiping and Xiao Shan also knew about the strategy of [Greater Far East Co-prosperity] proposed by Yan Shao (Yan Shao told him before leaving), and the two of them also agreed very much with this strategy. After all, after looking at the map of the world, look at the continents that are occupied by whites. It would be a lie to say that there is no sense of crisis...

It is precisely under this sense of crisis that they are willing to approach Ho Chi Minh and others on an equal footing, and try to help them win independence as much as possible.

One last point. It was when Yan Shao was choosing candidates that he deliberately asked the following to find two people with better tempers and personalities. In fact, in such a task, ability is secondary, and character is the most important. After all, I'm looking for a stinky grumpy. Even if you are capable, you can't cooperate with the Vietnamese. Sending such a person can only be said to be asking for trouble.

On the other hand, if you find someone with a better personality and easier to get along with, even if your ability is slightly worse, you can achieve twice the result with half the effort.

On the other hand, seeing Luo Zhiping and Xiao Shan talking so well, Ho Chi Minh was also relieved. After all, he was really worried about inviting the two emperors over, if that was the case. Things are troublesome―――――― at this time Ho Chi Minh has not realized that in fact, it is better for him to invite the two emperors to come over. After all, the Emperor Taishang or something, all they rely on is support from within the country, and similarly, those who regard them as the Emperor Taishang only seek what they can get from them, and once the aid from China is gone, their status as the Emperor will naturally become worthless.

On the other hand, if you are approachable and have support from China, it is very easy to buy people and people in Vietnam, but in the end, even if a political party is really established, it is difficult to say whether Ho Chi Minh or Lo Chi Binh will be in charge of this party...

However, in any case, the cooperation between the two sides has always been carried out.

After a period of stay in Paris, Ho Chi Minh and his companions never asked to see Wilson or the Japanese or anything else, but set off directly on a passenger ship to Vietnam, accompanied by Luo Zhiping and Xiao Shan, who had changed their identities.

Before boarding the passenger ship, their identities have changed from agents of the Secret Service and officers of the National Defense Forces to two Vietnamese 'patriotic youths', and their current identities are also woven seamlessly, with almost no flaws...

――――――――――――――――――――

Just as Ho Chi Minh and the others boarded a passenger ship to Vietnam, the conflict on the border between China and North Korea had reached a fever pitch. If, at the beginning, the upper echelons of the Korean Front and the Japanese mainland were still thinking of hurrying to stop the rash actions below and restore calm to the Sino-Korean border, then with the Wehrmacht crossing the Yalu River, this idea has gone bankrupt.

Just as the Japanese troops who had acted without permission launched an attack on Dandong City, the Wehrmacht stationed on the banks of the Yalu River also launched an attack on the Japanese troops on the other side of the bank while the Korean Front was still busy with the unauthorized actions of the lower-level officers and soldiers.

The fierce bombardment of thousands of large-caliber heavy guns, and the Japanese army, who was unprepared, suffered heavy casualties.

And when the shelling finally stopped, and they were in a hurry to prepare for battle, the Wehrmacht on the other side of the river had already crossed the Yalu River under the cover of artillery fire, and before the Japanese army could react, they occupied several Japanese defensive positions on the other side of the Yalu River at a slight cost...

If the upper echelons of Japan were still trying to stop the rebellion of the troops below, then the Wehrmacht came to do such a thing, and the Japanese immediately stopped doing it. The idea also changed from stopping the unauthorized actions of lower-level officers and soldiers to driving the Wehrmacht out of Korea...

At the same time, the Japanese government also made representations to Britain and the United States and other countries, but when Japan attacked Dandong before, Britain and the United States were unable to make any statements (mainly because they did not want to attack Japan), and now it is naturally more difficult to use this as an excuse to accuse China...

Fortunately, Japan did not expect the foreign powers to be of any use, and although the British and American factions were inevitably disappointed, the Japanese mainland and the Korean front quickly adjusted their strategy.

That is, to first knock out the Wehrmacht that has entered the territory of Korea, and then talk about anything else―――――― first withdraw the troops from Dandong, and then ask for Chinese to withdraw the troops from Korea? This kind of thing is impossible for the Japanese to do with their character...

It's just that...

Just when the Japanese thought that the Wehrmacht would continue to launch an offensive and penetrate deep into Korea, they were surprised to find that the Wehrmacht actually stopped, and only consolidated the fortifications built by the Japanese in the first line of defense they had captured―――――― and I have to say that the Japanese have indeed not been idle in recent years, and the fortifications located on the Sino-Korean border do not dare to be said to be impregnable, but they are also very good.

If it weren't for the Wehrmacht's sudden attack, and the Japanese didn't expect this, even if they could take this line of defense, Feng Guozhang didn't dare to guarantee how many people would die in the end...

But now...

Faced with the defense line that was originally built by themselves to deal with the Chinese, and the Chinese army stationed on it, the Japanese seemed more entangled...

But at least one thing is certain, and that is that in the north of Korea, the Defense Forces have seized the initiative. (To be continued......)
