Chapter 300: Political Rivalry (3)

When Sun Zheng and Zhang Donglin reported to Xue Ru, Xue Ru was also a little stunned, the Southern Han Dynasty can be said to be a land of projectiles, and it is a country that is not recognized by the world, Britain and France sent people at the same time, which already made her a little incomprehensible, and there was even the representative of the United States, Essench, which was probably a little shocking.

But Zhang Donglin is not strange, he takes it for granted. Sun Zheng was also very proud: "Your Majesty, it seems that the international status of the Southern Han Dynasty has been recognized, and they actually sent people to negotiate, how should we reply?" ”

Xue Ru didn't understand that it was because of her identity and later background, she never looked at herself from the perspective of a politician, but simply thought about the problem from a military point of view, although she constantly changed from the tactical aspect to the strategic aspect, it was difficult to adapt to the identity of the head of a country.

Listening to Sun Zheng's words, he came back to his senses, and secretly laughed in his heart that he was really a little child, and he had never seen such a scene. Representatives of the three countries came like this, what would it be like if it were the presidents of the three countries themselves? Yes, even in the future, there are many independent regions in the world that do not exist under the name of a country? For example, Taiwan, let alone how big Taiwan is, and how big is the Southern Han regime on the Southeast Peninsula at this time?

Purely in terms of military strength, the Southern Han Dynasty is not weak, and it has always been believed that the Southern Han Dynasty is small because Xue Ru is always compared with China and the United States, which are countries with a land area of tens of millions of square kilometers and a population of more than 100 million. In fact, Britain and France are considered to be powerful countries, and their land area is not necessarily much larger than that of the Southern Han Dynasty at this time, Britain's local area is only 240,000 square kilometers, which is comparable to the Southern Han Dynasty at this time, and the Southern Han Dynasty may still surpass Britain, the only gap is the population, the population of the Southern Han Dynasty is less than a quarter of that of the United Kingdom, and the economic and industrial levels are not the same.

If Xue Ru is given time, I believe that the Southern Han Dynasty will not be worse than Britain and France, which is why Xue Ru has the confidence to defeat Japan independently, but what she needs is time. After adjusting his mentality, he said: "This is an opportunity for the Southern Han, and I really have to thank the Japanese, if it weren't for their intention to attack Southeast Asia, these foreigners would not be so easy to talk to, let alone run from Europe and America to the Southern Han." If you want to come, you will also come by warship, and sell at a price to maximize your profits, I think you all understand. ”

Zhang Donglin nodded and said: "I understand this, and the cabinet has also made a preliminary study and thinks that it is the best time for the Southern Han Dynasty to obtain the international status it deserves. But the British representative Mesilt and the American representative Essench asked to see Her Majesty the Queen, they are only representatives, not official status, do you think they will meet? ”

This is a national reciprocity issue, as the Southern Han has not yet formally established diplomatic relations, and the Southern Han has not been internationally recognized, they put forward it, that is, to demote the Southern Han to the status of a region, and from the bottom of their hearts they do not want to recognize the international status of the Southern Han Dynasty.

Zhang Donglin thought that the United States and Britain should not be offended, the Southern Han did not have the qualifications to compete with them for the world, and no matter how much pressure from Japan, the Southern Han also needed to receive external assistance, so he hoped that Xue Ru could meet them. But Sun Zheng objected, and because of disagreement, the two came to ask for instructions.

Xue Ru smiled: "Don't be embarrassed, we are not yet tough, we are originally a region, and it has not been internationally recognized, so it doesn't hurt to meet you." However, I arranged for Essench to meet with me, and the French were left behind, they were now a government-in-exile, and they were not as good as the Southern Han. Besides, this is the place they occupied, and if I guess correctly, de Gaulle didn't want to send someone, the British should have forced him, so put him last. ”

Zhang Donglin smiled: "Your Majesty has always said that he doesn't understand politics, and it seems that diplomatic means are still very clever." I'll arrange it right away, and Minister Sun is also here, do you have any other instructions? ”

Xue Ru shook her head, in fact, she really can't do it in these aspects, and there are reasons why she met the American representative first, first, the southeast peninsula and the United States have little conflict of interest, and the United States' target is in the Indonesian region, which is the Dutch sphere of influence. Roosevelt's strategic vision was not one region, the United States pursued a global strategy, and of course wanted to replace Britain in Asia and establish its hegemony. Although Xue Ru was very unconvinced, the Southern Han Dynasty did not have the capital to compete with the United States, but it had the qualifications to compete with Britain and France. Superpowers are not so easy to be, arrogant and ignorant like Japan, with their geographical population resources, they always want to be the boss, and it is no wonder if they are not destroyed!

At least Xue Ru doesn't have such an idea at the moment, and it's not sure if she will have her in the future. The Southern Han Dynasty was poor and white, with a population of only more than 10 million, and its scientific and technological and industrial strength was also blank.

It is necessary to suppress the weak and pick soft persimmons, which is a must, and it is to win over the behemoth of the United States, and there is no doubt that a country like France is bullying. It is said that politics is shameless, and it seems to be true. Xue Ru couldn't help but admit that he originally wanted to become a world-famous general, but in the end he became a politician.

Three days later, the American representative Essench finally sat down in front of Xue Ru, and was very satisfied with Nanhan's arrangement for him to meet Xue Ru first, which proved that Nanhan was wise. Britain has fallen, and the future will be the United States of America.

This time, the United States sent him not in an official capacity, but in the capacity of presidential adviser and personal representative. The United States does not recognize the official identity, that is, it can not recognize the statehood of the Southern Han Dynasty.

The Southern Han was too small, but its strategic location was important, and if the Southern Han fell to the United States, then the Southeast Peninsula to Indochina would be a nail in the coffin, thus gradually squeezing Britain out of these regions. As a veteran statesman, Essench certainly understood that he took a large transport plane from the United States to Hawaii, then flew to Guam to the Philippines, and from there to Hong Kong to Hanoi, the capital of the Southern Han Dynasty, which is now called Syracuse, in order to arrive at the same time as the British French representatives, and it was best to arrive first.

But the journey was too long, and the United States decided too late, arriving at the same time as the British and French. But Xue Ru met him first, which greatly increased Ai Xunqi's favor, and when he sat in front of Xue Ru, in addition to being a little surprised, he was a little contemptuous.

Marvel is the queen of this legend, best known for the results she has achieved on the battlefield. It is said that she is very young, and when Ai Senqi saw her, she was still shocked by Xue Ru's age.

Xue Ru is the commander-in-chief of the three armies of the Southern Han Dynasty, and it was a war period at this time, but she did not wear a military uniform, but a Chinese ancient costume, although this is very different, but it is undeniable that the Southern Han Dynasty is a Chinese-speaking, Chinese-Chinese, and Han culture country, and this improved Hanfu has become the national costume of the Southern Han Dynasty, and it is normal to wear it as a queen.

Regarding the issue of clothing culture, Xue Ru did not listen to Zhang Donglin, but listened to the advice of the consultant Zhou Tingru, and determined that the Han culture was the main body, and this kind of clothing appeared. Compared with the Hanfu wide robe, the large sleeves have only been changed to adapt to the rhythm of modern life, but no matter how you look at it, you can be sure that it is Hanfu.

Wearing such a costume makes Xue Ru look a little big, but it can't hide the youth on her face, and Ai Senqi can't help but admit that she is really a genius. The contempt in his heart lies in the fact that military issues and political issues are two different things, and militarily it can also rely on weapons and technology, but political competition is a test of level, experience, and brains, and in addition, it is a comprehensive national strength, and it is useless to simply use powerful weapons.

It is a very polite greeting, in terms of etiquette, Essench will not be rude, whether he admits that Xue Ru is the queen or not, after all, he is the head of a country, and being able to meet him can be regarded as a promotion, and the United States has a purpose in sending him on this trip.

Xue Ru had a smile on her face: "Thank you President Roosevelt for your greetings, the United States shoulders the heavy responsibility of maintaining world peace and stability, and is a strong backing for the anti-fascist war, which is appreciated by peace-loving countries in the world, please also take me to express your greetings." ”

This high hat was somewhat suspicious, which made Essench feel comfortable, and pretended to smile modestly and said: "The establishment of the Southern Han Dynasty, the end of the control of other ethnic groups in the Southeast Peninsula, and the implementation of the democratic process are also contributing to human society. We share the responsibility of the world, which is why His Excellency the President has sent me to communicate on issues of mutual interest. ”

Xue Ru said: "Yes, the United States is a democratic country, the Southeast Peninsula has always been relatively backward, wars are continuous, as China's close neighbors, we also have the obligation to protect the people's livelihood, now the Southern Han Dynasty is an independent state of government, has the responsibility to maintain regional peace." Japan and Germany established an Axis power and wanted to enslave the people of the world, which was not allowed by the Southern Han Dynasty, and the Southern Han Dynasty hoped to cooperate with the United States to jointly maintain peace and stability on the Southeast Peninsula. ”

These are all official words, and they are all very beautiful and high-profile. Essench still heard that Xue Ru emphasized that the Southern Han Dynasty was a country, and if it wanted to cooperate with the United States, that is, to put it on an equal footing with the United States, which made him a little unacceptable. In either case, the Southern Han Dynasty could not be on an equal footing with the United States. He smiled and said: "Of course, but the Southern Han Dynasty has just been established and has not been recognized by the international community, and it is not easy for the United States to say, the president wants to know Her Majesty's plans." ”

These unnutritious official clichés, Xue Ru also said that she is a soldier and prefers to be direct. Hearing Essench's words, he said: "Yes, the Southern Han Dynasty has indeed just established a country, and it is a country established with the support and consent of the whole people, and it does not need to be recognized by anyone, this is the Southern Han Dynasty's own business." We welcome the establishment of diplomatic relations with the South Han Dynasty and carry out mutually beneficial and friendly diplomatic exchanges, but we are not afraid of those forces with bad intentions. Just like Japan, an evil country, the Southern Han were confident that they would defeat them and bring them back to the track of peace, does Mr. Essench think so? ”

Just now, he was smiling and respectful, but when he turned his face, he revealed a tough attitude, and the implication was that cooperation was welcome, but Nanhan was not afraid of anyone. Essench was stunned by Xue Ru's rapid change, and then said: "Of course, the ability of the United States can calm any disputes, and this time I also came with France and Britain to know the plans of the Southern Han." ”

Essench's tone is also very tough, and if the United States wants to intervene by force, it can also join forces with Britain and France. Xue Ru didn't care, because at this time, Britain and France were the time when the mud bodhisattva crossed the river and it was difficult to protect himself, that is to say, he was just talking big. Are there any real friends between nations? Of course, Britain and France don't want to see American military power enter Indochina, right? He smiled faintly: "Of course, but Britain has a lot of troops in Thailand and Burma, and the Japanese 2nd Fleet has entered Sanya, China, and I think the military strength of Britain, France, and the United States in Southeast Asia is not enough to deal with it for the time being." But the Southern Han can let any force that is involved fail to go back, for Vietnam and Thailand, the Southern Han just doesn't solve it, and it is not difficult to solve it. Japan also proposed that as long as the Southern Han remained neutral, there was no irresolvable contradiction between the Southern Han and Japan. ”

It is true that the strength of the United States, Britain and France in Southeast Asia is very weak, while the Southern Han has more than 100,000 navy, land and air forces, and there is no shortage of aircraft purchased during this time. Except for the weaker navy, the other forces are indeed not weak. It was because they wanted the Southern Han to be the first bird to block the attack of the Japanese army, so the United States, Britain and France sent people here, and if they continued to talk like this, they were afraid that they would push the Southern Han Dynasty to the side of Japan and Germany, which would be very unfavorable to the United States and Britain.

It seems that Xue Ru of the Southern Han Dynasty also understands the situation, and is threatening the United States and Britain and other countries, whether Xue Ru will do that depends on her strategic vision. The president has explained that he cannot let things get out of hand, and the United States will do its best to ensure that it will not directly participate in the war in Asia, but will intervene to create influence and curb the Soviet Union's expansion to the southeast. He slowed down and said, "Does Her Majesty have any good suggestions?" ”

Hearing his softened tone, Xue Ru sneered in his heart, the United States is the same, they only calculate their own gains and losses, so they will not care about the interests of Britain and France, so they said: "Of course, the southern Han is French Vietnam in the south, Thailand in the west, China in the north, and at the same time borders Myanmar, this will be a huge market, the Southern Han Dynasty hopes to carry out political and economic cooperation with the United States, and also plans to fully open the market, but it was interrupted by Japan, so the main problem of the Southern Han is to end the war and start economic construction." ”

Aisench was stunned, why did he talk about economic cooperation again? Xue Ru's thinking was too fast, and he couldn't keep up. After all, he is a politician with a sharp political mind, and after being stunned, he immediately understood what Xue Ru was referring to?

Although he understood, Xue Ru didn't give him a chance to speak, but said directly: "Mr. Aisenqi, do you know why I don't meet anyone else, but see you alone?" ”

This kind of direct questioning made Essench unable to answer again, he thought that Xue Ru knew that the United States was powerful, gave the United States higher treatment, and wanted to establish relations with the United States, so he met him alone first. But Xue Ru asked such a thing directly, but he couldn't say it directly. I had to shake my head and say, "I don't understand a little, and I ask Her Majesty to make it clear." ”

Xue Ru said: "Mr. Aisenqi, I am a soldier and not a politician, I don't like to come to these hypocritical things, and prefer to go straight, so we still don't talk about these meaningless words, and say them directly for any purpose, so as not to delay time." ”

Xue Ru finally got impatient, she was not a qualified politician, and such a round-and-forth conversation was actually the same thing in the end. Besides, Essench is obviously a veteran politician, and after playing for a long time, he is worried about being bypassed by him, so he simply adopts the method of direct conversation. This kind of straightforward words made Essench stunned for a while, so he had to nod: "Yes, I am also a happy person in the next place, I want to be more direct." ”

Xue Ru said: "Very good, the three conditions of the Southern Han side, I hope the United States can consider it, and at the same time, it can also exchange the three conditions agreed to by the Southern Han Dynasty." ”

Essench was a little dizzy, is this a political negotiation between the two countries? He got the intelligence of the CIA before he came, and many of the practices of Southern Han politics were more like mafia and banditry, but now that he has seen it, he unconsciously asked: "What conditions?" ”

Xue Ru said: "First, the United States recognized the legal status of the Southern Han Dynasty, and the two sides formally established diplomatic relations, confirming the political and diplomatic relations of equality and mutual benefit between the two countries. Second, the two sides will conduct normal bilateral trade. Third, it assisted the Southern Han in its anti-aggression operations. ”

Ai Senqi couldn't answer at that time, he didn't have this authority, which also made Xue Ru a little confused, so he had to say: "I need to ask the president of the country for this." ”
