Chapter 652: The Paris Peace Conference (1)

Not to mention anything else, just looking at the Elaline people who followed behind Yan Shao, the officials of the various countries who came to greet him already showed expressions of envy, jealousy and hatred. After all, these four people all have the color of the city, especially Eleno and Katerina, who are very standard Western beauties.

Such a woman, it is already a dream for ordinary people to get one, not to mention that Yan Shao is followed by four―――――― fortunately, Fumiko's age is still too young, and her existence is not a secret, I am afraid that she will also be counted as Yan Shao's woman.

However, despite their envy, jealousy and hatred in their hearts, on the surface they were still very polite.

"Mr. President, several ladies..."

Looking at Yan Shao and Elaline who got off the train, the representative of the French government who came to greet him said with a smile on his face.

"Hello..."Although it was not clear who the big nose standing in front of him was, Yan Shao still shook his hand with a smile.

Although Yan Shao and Eleno came to Paris back then, he didn't have a house in Paris―――――― the house in Paris was too expensive, although Yan Shao had a small amount of savings at that time, but it was always unrealistic to throw money here, not to mention that this money Yan Shao was also useful.

However, there is no need for Yan Shao to find a house to live in by himself at the moment, because he only needs to live in the legation in Paris. In fact, as the most important country in the world, the legation in France, although it cannot be said to be high-sounding, is relatively good.

So after greeting those who greeted him. Soon Yan Shao and his entourage left the train station, and then walked in the direction of the legation.

Along the way, the minister to France sat opposite Yan Shao. Explain to him the current situation in Paris.

"Now the representatives of the countries have arrived, and President Wilson of the United States arrived in Paris more than a week ago..."

"So, I'm missing one now?"

"You are the last of the major nations to arrive," replied the Minister to France. But no one should care about this, after all, you are also the farthest of all the heads of state, second only to Japan, but Japan is not their prime minister. It's an envoy sent by the Prime Minister..."

"The envoy..."Hearing what the envoy said, Yan Shao nodded slightly, and then spoke to him. You need to be prepared. We're planning to talk to the other major members of the Entente to raise the diplomatic ranks, and maybe it won't be long before you become ambassadors..."

"Really?!" Although he had known that this would happen sooner or later, after hearing Yan Shao admit it himself. The minister still looked a little surprised.

It's something that can't be helped. Although the whole country is under the invitation of the minister, it is not necessarily who is superior to the other. However, in a place like Paris, where there are all some ambassadors around, and he is a minister, this still makes people feel a little uncomfortable, so now when he hears Yan Shao say this, he will naturally be a little happy.

And the other side. Yan Shao also smiled slightly.

Raising the diplomatic ranks, this matter has been delayed for a long time. It should have been handled a long time ago, but who told Yan Shao to suddenly push the westward expansion strategy, and as a result, this matter was delayed, and it was only now that there were some eyebrows.

――――――――――――――――――――

Looking at the other party's somewhat happy expression, Yan Shao didn't care much, in his opinion, these are all imaginary, only strength is the most real.

If you have the strength, it's easy to say anything, and the same is true for turning it over.

Today's China, even if the diplomatic level with other countries is at the level of ministers, who else dares to look at China? On the other hand, if you are just a very ordinary small country, then what use can you do even if you are at the ambassador level, you should be looked down on or will be looked down upon, so the most important thing in this world is strength...

And what really cared about him was nothing else, but the Japanese...

According to the information obtained by the Secret Service, after the Battle of Shandong, especially after China played an outstanding role on the Western Front, Japan, Britain, and the United States, although they were a little unhappy because of the issue of sending troops to the European War, were still in fact still disconnected in private, and many people in Britain and the United States believed that Japan should be given a certain amount of support in order to ensure the balance between China and Japan, that is, the Far East, and to ensure the interests of the great powers in Asia.

It's just that at that time, Japan and the foreign powers were making a lot of trouble about sending troops, so this is just some people's statement. As for France? Although France has a French Indochina in Asia, it is only here, and France's most critical colony is North Africa, Vietnam is important to France, but it is not particularly important, coupled with the friendly relations between China and France, so that each other has a good feeling among the people, this series of reasons, so that France is not particularly worried.

But the situation changed after China began to implement its westward expansion strategy ...

With China's direct annexation of the whole of Siberia and Kazakhstan, the great powers suddenly felt very much in danger, after all, since China dared to annex Russian territory, it is difficult to say whether they will annex the colonies of the following powers in Southeast Asia in the future...

You must know that because of the European war, the great powers have suffered heavy losses, and China, although there are some losses, but the local land has not been directly hit, and compared with the losses, China has actually gained more things.

If China really makes a move, with the only remaining strength of Britain and France, they may not be able to resist China, as for the United States...

The United States still has a strong sense of isolation, and the United States officially entered the war under the pretext of a cruise ship and the telegram from Mexico, and if China does not threaten the American colonies in Asia, with a strong anti-war sentiment in the United States, I am afraid that the United States may not be able to send troops to help...

Therefore, even for other reasons, Britain and the United States and other countries can only find a way to contain China, and this method is to create an opponent for China...

As for the opponent, of course it's Japan...

Japan and the great powers were inherently disconnected. Now with Russia as a catalyst, they are in close contact with each other, according to the information obtained by the secret service. Countries such as Britain and the United States have even begun to discuss a series of support issues with Japan...

This includes both military and economic ones.

And that's exactly what Japan needs...

In fact, even the Japanese government is under great pressure from China. As I once said, although Japan also gained a lot of benefits in this war, the gap between it and China is still too big, such as the army. The difference in strength between them is as much as four times...

If it is said that before the Shandong Campaign, Japan still dared to say how many soldiers a soldier topped up, during the War of Resistance. Japan dares to say how many soldiers a Japanese soldier is top, then now even the most arrogant Japanese dare to say only one-on-one ...

Therefore, Japan's cooperation with the great powers can be described as a hit and miss...

And this. It is also Yan Shao's biggest headache. Because Yan Shao knows very well the characteristics of Japan, if you don't hurt him, he will definitely not be convinced. In other words, if you want to tame a country like Japan, you must first beat it up...

――――――――――――――――――――

In fact, Yan Shao has always had a strategy in his heart, that is, the so-called [Greater Far East Co-prosperity].

This plan is actually no different from Japan's [Greater East Asia Co-prosperity], which unites all the yellow countries. And use it against the white state. If there's one difference, it's in this strategy. It is China, not Japan, that dominates ...

The reason why Yan Shao would consider such a plan is to look at the map of this era. Because in Southeast Asia, the yellow countries that still maintain their independence are now only three countries: China, Japan and Thailand, of which Thailand is still semi-colonial, and the reason why it will be left behind is only because Britain and France need to leave a buffer zone between their colonies.

In consideration of the Latin American population, although the orthodox view is that Europe and North America are considered the West, and of course, there is also Australia, but in terms of race, there is no doubt that whether it is the Latin American group, or the Middle Eastern group, or even the Indian people, they can be called white.

In such a situation, the yellow race is already considered to be at a comprehensive disadvantage...

So, the only way to change this situation is to unite all the forces that can unite.

From a certain point of view, Japan's co-prosperity in Greater East Asia was correct, but the most crucial issue here is who co-prospered with whom, and if it is said that Japan co-prospered with China, it is bound to be opposed, not to mention that Japan has always had wolf ambitions for China, and has committed an unknown number of sins in China.

In fact, the reason why the Chinese people opposed it was probably also this reason, after all, at that time, Japan was not an invasion of China at all, nor was it liberation, but aggression, a naked aggression, and the murders it committed in China were even more innumerable...

But on the other hand, if it is China's co-prosperity, what if Japan has other yellow countries?

Yan Shao remembers one thing, that is, during World War II, although China put up a stern resistance to Japan, in Southeast Asia and some other regions, the local people welcomed the arrival of the Japanese...

Because what Japan gave them at that time was not aggression like aggression against China, but indeed liberation, liberation from the hands of the white race...

What China intends to do right now is somewhat similar to this...

――――――――――――――――――――

Yan Shao's idea was simple, that is, to liberate all the yellow countries that were enslaved by whites. At the same time, it is not enough to assist in the development of these countries and to confront the Western powers in this way, but it is certainly not enough for China alone, after all, on the white side, there are not only powerful countries like the United States, Britain, France, Germany, and Russia, but even relatively poor countries such as Brazil and Argentina.

After the annexation of Siberia and Central Asia, China has certainly become one of the world's largest countries, but its territory is sometimes not necessarily indicative of power. If this is the case, then China will not be able to be taken care of by so many small countries, one of which is Japan...

During the Anti-Japanese War. Even if you include North Korea and Taiwan, Japan's territory is much smaller than China's...

Therefore, Yan Shao needs some friends, at least some powerful partners.

Among them, Thailand is naturally counted as one. After all, in this era, Thailand is more or less powerful, and even in later generations, Thailand can be regarded as barely having some strength. But in addition to this, Japan is also a small partner that Yan Shao needs.

After all, apart from China, the most powerful is Japan.

Even in later generations, Japan was a very powerful country, although nominally the country no longer had an army. But in fact, its military power can even be included in the top five in the world, plus the third economic power in the world ...

If there is such a small partner, coupled with China's own strength. It is not impossible to confront the West. Naturally, there are also North Korea, Thailand and a series of other small partners.

In addition to these countries, there are also countries such as India that are also within Yan Shao's [Greater Far East Co-prosperity] strategy, and even if it is carried out smoothly. You can also change the name to [Greater Asia Co-prosperity] or something...

Develop the whole of Asia. As a way to fight against whites...

But before that, the first thing that needs to be done is Japan. Originally, Yan Shao planned to cultivate a pro-China faction in Japan, so that the two countries could unite and perhaps solve the Far East problem more lightly―――――― of course, China must occupy a dominant position in this cooperation.

And considering that in Japan in this era, there were many Miyazaki-like figures, especially after the Battle of Shandong and the Battle of Verdun and the Somme on the Western Front. Although there are many people in Japan who curse against China, there are also many people like Miyazaki.

It's the same as China's sense of crisis. Faced with the fact that the whole world is white, how can the Japanese, who are already full of crisis, not have a crisis at all...

But now...

"If the Japanese really joined forces with Britain and the United States. Then if you want to deal with this country, I'm afraid it's not that simple..."Thinking so, Yan Shao rubbed his temples with his hand. "The weakness of the Japanese is in the economy, this era is different from later generations, there are not so many high-tech products, the profits of high-tech products are usually very lucrative, but unfortunately there is no in this era, even if there are some, they are mostly in the hands of the great powers, plus it is the colonial era, many markets have been carved up, if it is not so, Japan will not pay so much attention to the Chinese market, after all, it is one of the few markets that have not been carved up, and therefore, Japan's biggest weakness is the economy..."

"And Britain and the United States, especially the United States, their greatest strength is the economy, if the two sides unite, then Japan's economic weakness is equivalent to being compensated..."

"Having an economy is naturally equivalent to having a military, and after having a military, the character of the Japanese will undoubtedly become arrogant, and at this time, it will be even more difficult to support the pro-China faction in their country, and in the end, I am afraid that they will have to see the truth under their hands..."

Yan Shao is not afraid of this, after all, if you really want to do it, the most suitable time is World War II. Although it is not clear whether Hitler's boy died on the battlefield or not, he knows very well what his own task is, that is, to find a way to make this peace conference a humiliating agreement, but not to slap Germany to death...

In this way, even if Hitler died on the battlefield, he would not have to worry about the lack of a leading figure to step up and lead the Germans in World War II―――――― which, in a way, was just a twenty-year armistice, as Fuch said.

Since the end of the Paris Peace Conference, the matter has been settled, and even if Hitler is really dead, there will be another German who will step up and lead the others.

――――――――――――――――――――――

"And at that time, I just had to find a way to get the most out of it, just like now..."

"And by the time of World War II, the aviation industry had developed more or less in comparison......... The bombing of Tokyo or something, as long as you think about it, you will feel very enjoyable..."Thinking like this, the corners of Yan Shao's mouth have already knocked slightly.

But just when he was thinking about it, the car suddenly stopped slowly, and then he heard the minister speak to him.

"President, the place has arrived..."

"It's already there?" Hearing his voice, Yan Shao came back to his senses, and through the car window, Yan Shao could see the legation in France outside...

"It's not bad to arrive...", Yan Shao had already pushed open the door and walked out of the car, and in the car behind, Elano and the others also walked out of the car.

It's just that when Yan Shao and the others were walking towards the room arranged for them by the staff of the legation, in another corner of Paris, several short and thin yellow people were discussing something, and they didn't know how long it took for someone to grit their teeth.

"Let's take a look at the attitude of the Americans, has US President George W. Bush put forward his Wilson Fourteen Points, and he should support us..."

"That's right!"

"yes!"

The man's words quickly caused a chorus...

Soon, everyone else in the room agreed, but just as everyone agreed, one of them was thinking about another country that they could rely on.

"I hope the Americans don't let us down, otherwise, we will have to go to the Chinese..."

With that in mind, the young man looked at the French flag hanging outside the window.

By the way, the name of this young man is Ho Chi Minh ... (To be continued......)
