A few days later, Lin Youde met Ambassador Chen again.

However, this time, Ambassador Chen came to say goodbye to Lin Youde.

"When I return to China this time, I may have to become foreign minister." Ambassador Chen said this as soon as he sat down. Although his original form in another time and space also gave Lin Youde a bold feeling, Lin Youde didn't think that Mr. Prototype would be arrogant enough to casually tell the de facto ruler of another country about this kind of thing.

Maybe this person in this time and space has experienced a little less experience than another time and space, so the city government is not so deep.

"Then congratulations on Gao Sheng," Lin Youde said with a smile, "It just so happens that I have a message here that I want Ambassador Chen to bring back, so I should take it as a congratulatory gift to Ambassador Chen Gao Sheng." ”

"Oh? What's the news? Ambassador Chen was immediately interested, and the whole person leaned forward.

"The Human Reform Alliance will support Xinming's return to Southeast Asia, and the Southeast Asian countries that will join the People's Revolutionary League in the future will be responsible for ensuring the security of Xinming. In order to achieve this goal, the Alliance for Human Innovation will support Xinming's development of atomic and hydrogen bombs, and we will also transfer technical information related to ICBMs to Xinming, and help train engineers and scientists. ”

Ambassador Chen was immediately overjoyed and slapped his thigh hard: "Great! This is great! But this comes at a price, right? What does the Alliance intend to gain from Xinming? ”

"First of all, the French colonies in Southeast Asia will be guaranteed." Lin Youde deliberately paused to look at Ambassador Chen's reaction, the latter's eyes were sharp, and he seemed to know that this was not the primary price, so Lin Youde continued, "Secondly, the alliance needs Xinming to ensure a safe land in Southeast Asia, this land should be near the sea, and the latitude should be lower than 11 degrees north and south latitude, Xinming should ensure air and ground garrisons here, and then deploy the navy if possible." The inhabitants of the surrounding area should be inclined to the rule of the new Ming, and if possible establish an overseas province here. ”

"I guess this land should be a good port." Ambassador Chen said quietly, "That's right, right? ”

"Yes."

"Brother Lin, this request is not ordinary." Ambassador Chen's address to Lin Youde has changed, which indicates that the following words are all "private" conversations, but the target is Ambassador Chen, Lin Youde is not worried about his character, and what he says next will probably really become "private" words that will be rotten in Ambassador Chen's stomach, "You tell me the truth, what is this for?" ”

"Have you ever heard of the Tower of Babel in Babylon?"

"I've heard it, let the king of heaven wash it with water, I've heard that story."

"We're going to build the same thing here."

Even Ambassador Chen, who should have seen a lot of big scenes, was stunned at this time.

"Really?"

"Really, the correct name is Space Elevator, and our code name is Babylon."

Ambassador Chen stared at Lin Youde for a long time, then he took a deep breath, exhaled slowly, and then said: "You are really a surprising guy, if you didn't have such an achievement, even landed on the moon and did something that only Chang'e can do, if not, I really suspect that you are a madman." ”

"I may be really crazy," Lin Youde shook his head, "This plan may take thirty years, and I will be an old man by then, and I still order it to be implemented without hesitation......"

"Your daughter is reliable, she should be able to finish it with your gun, but by the time it's done, your daughter will be in her fifties."

"53, what a terrible plan to think about now."

Ambassador Chen stretched out his hand and patted Lin Youde on the shoulder: "Don't worry, I won't say the content of this plan, but I will do my best to make the country work hard for this." To set up a new overseas province, I think about it, there are more Chinese in that area - what do you think of Lanfang Province? ”

"Isn't it better to be a province in Singapore?"

"Well, it seems to be good, the language is Chinese and English is half and half English, and there is also a fight for independence, so maybe they can vote for the new Ming Republic if it works. But what about this French colony? ”

Lin Youde shrugged his shoulders: "I think as long as Xinming provides material assistance to the French colonial army or something, and then woos the Chinese who live in the local area, it can be solved." ”

In fact, in another time and space, in addition to the fact that France lost its colonies in Southeast Asia, one of the most important reasons was China's support for Vietnam. The Battle of Dien Bien Phu was regarded by the Vietnamese as the masterpiece of the great general Vo Nguyen Giap, but the fact is that the entire campaign was planned by the Chinese military advisory group, and the most famous thing Vo Yuanjia did in the command of the campaign was to ask the advisory group to retreat at the most critical time of the campaign, crying that the casualties were too great to continue.

However, the military advisory group directly put aside Wu Yuanjia and continued to direct the campaign, at that time, Tu Yuan had just made a name for himself in North Korea and was the second brother of the socialist camp, Wu Yuanjia had no choice but to stare dryly. In the end, the battle was won, and Vietnam began to preach about Vo Yuanjia's exploits, deliberately ignoring the existence of the Chinese military advisory group, and China deliberately did not mention its own role in the battle because it needed to play a harmless role - at that time, China was still counting on breaking the ice with France, how could it claim that it commanded the Vietnamese to beat the French army?

This is similar to when Tanzania beat Uganda later, when the Tanzanian army also had a Chinese military adviser, and then this adviser also learned that Patton was following the troops in a jeep, and was photographed by Western reporters, so he hurriedly defended that I was just watching the excitement and I didn't command, I must have commanded at the command post, how could I be on the front line.

Western countries looked at Uncle Black's standard PLA-style advance, and then chose to remain silent considering that Uganda hates it even more.

By the way, there is also an anecdote in the Vietnam War of Independence, when France could not hold out and was preparing to withdraw its troops from Vietnam, the French paratroopers in Vietnam were preparing to return to Paris to carry out a military coup d'état and bring de Gaulle to power. In the end, this attempt was strangled in the cradle by de Gaulle himself, but he still became president of France soon after, and then de Gaulle resolutely established full diplomatic relations with China despite the attitude of the rest of NATO.

So history is very interesting, there are some things that you can't insist that are related, but when you look at them together, you feel that there is an inevitable connection in them.

At this time and space, Vietnam does not have the support of that big country behind it, and the war of independence, which should have ended almost this year, is still going on, and the French army still has the advantage on the scene, and the independence army can only fight in the non-core area, and the French government is just dragged a little unable to hold on.

If Tan Minh had taken on the pressure of military spending and supply for the French troops stationed in Vietnam, the French would have been able to beat the Vietnamese for many more years.

Ambassador Chen was obviously thinking about this as well, and after a moment he said, "I will discuss it with Mr. Wu and them when I return to China, and I think it is feasible." The only question is, is it not a violation of the League's program to support France to maintain colonial rule? ”

"Well, the alliance can show that we support the autonomy of the Vietnamese."

"It's better to just let the Vietnamese vote on whether to join Xinming, anyway, it's the meat that the French broke out of our mouths, and it's not bad to let them come back."

At this time, the French were not able to control northern Vietnam, because they lost the Sino-French war. But the French still ate the southern part of Vietnam and most of Laos, which were originally vassals of the Ming Empire, which is why Ambassador Chen said this.

If it were the proletarian revolutionary in another time and space, there would probably not be such a statement, but Ambassador Chen in this time and space is a typical elite class of a great power, or in the words of the British: a gentleman of the empire, so it is not difficult to understand the chauvinism of a great power.

"That would make France unhappy, and it would split the alliance, and we should not do it well." Lin Youde said indifferently.

"Okay, then do France a favor." Ambassador Chen readily agreed, "I will leave for China tomorrow." ”
