1890 King of Southeast Asia

The general cleaning operation was proceeding in an orderly manner, with Wang Yang and Wang Linhai, the head of the Production and Construction Corps, coordinating the operation. Liu Yiming paid attention to it for a few days, but was distracted by another thing.

At 9 o'clock in the morning on June 9, Liu Yiming opened the door of his office as usual, but found that Staff Officer Yang was already waiting for him.

"What's wrong? Waiting for me so early in the morning?" Liu Yiming asked in surprise. However, Liu Yiming just thought that there was an accident somewhere. The beginning of industrialization is always like this.

"Commander, the Japanese are here again. Director Lin can't make the decision, so he sent the documents here." Staff Officer Yang handed over a document.

"Japanese?" Liu Yiming took it. At this time, Japan was really a small country. Its international status was higher than that of Nanhua, but it was limited and relied on its size.

It took two wars for Japan to be accepted by the so-called civilized countries. After all, in the traditional Western civilization point of view, civilization = ability to fight.

"Has this Komatsubara been here?" Liu Yiming looked at the document, which was densely written, but it was not a blessing or a desire to establish diplomatic relations. Instead, it was written in a rather harsh tone to ask Nanhua to agree to certain conditions.

"Yes, but before, he was a secret envoy of Ito Hirobumi. Now Ito Hirobumi has won the election and re-appointed as prime minister, so now he is an official Japanese envoy." Staff Officer Yang has become more and more proficient in his work. Compared with military affairs, he is more inclined to the political direction, a secretary with the title of staff officer.

"This is really, I don't know what to say." Liu Yiming looked at the conditions and the implicit threat of war, and just thought Ito was a little funny. That's it?

"Let's meet, but schedule him until 12:30." Liu Yiming said.

So, Komatsubara Jiro could only sit in the lounge. It was nothing, it was just a matter of sitting for a while, but Nanhua didn't provide food!

At eleven o'clock, Xiao Songyuan was going to go out for dinner, but was told that although Liu Yiming might meet him, if he was not there, he could only come in the afternoon, after five o'clock, or next week.

At twelve o'clock, Xiao Songyuan watched a woman carrying a lunch box into Liu Yiming's office.

"Who is she? You are very rude, and this is an insult to the Japanese Empire!" Xiao Songyuan said excitedly.

"Mr. Special Envoy, this is the wife of our Minister. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs does not have boxed lunches. I will starve with you. If you ask me, you should issue a note in accordance with international practice, and then send personnel, so that we can prepare." The clerk in charge of reception said sarcastically.

According to convention, you should communicate in advance through a third party before sending someone over, and then formally issue a diplomatic note, and finally send a mission. As a result, Japan directly sent someone over and called it a contract. What? Nanhua is your vassal state?

"This..." Xiao Songyuan was very angry, but he had nowhere to vent, and at the same time, he believed in the Great Japanese Empire more.

"Brother Yiming, why are there still people outside at this time?" Zhang You was very confused. Not long after getting off work, she received a call asking her to go to the cafeteria to get a meal and send it to Liu Yiming's office...

"It's okay, the Japanese are dreaming again, have those girls settled down?" Liu Yiming asked.

In addition to the more than 200 girls Liu Yiming bought, there were also those sent by Beiyang later. Liu Yiming was afraid that this would affect the gender ratio. Then think about the 400 million population, it doesn't matter.

"They have all been sent to school. The ones they sent here are so cute, aren't you moved?" Zhang You said funny.

"Okay, you dare to tease me, today I will show my family rules!" Liu Yiming put down his bowl and chopsticks, pulled Zhang You over, and pressed him on his legs.

"Hahahaha... No, I know I was wrong... Yiming~Brother~" Zhang You had a lot of fun.

Snap!

Can Liu Yiming bear it? Turn Zhang You over and slap her.

Well, very elastic.

"Oh~" Zhang You made an alluring sound.

"Okay, stop being weird, you are just a novice and love to play." Liu Yiming said helplessly.

"Who! Who is a novice!" Zhang You said with a puffed face.

"Before the battle, you were the one who jumped the most happily, but you couldn't do it after a while. Do you want me to learn how you begged for mercy last night? Hmm? I remember what I said? Brother~" Before Liu Yiming could say anything, Zhang You struggled, sat up, covered his mouth, and stared at his eyes with a red face.

"Well~ Okay, I won't say it, is it okay?" Liu Yiming grabbed Zhang You's hand, which was soft and boneless. It was obviously a pair of hands like a work of art, but the strength was not small...

"Almost, I have to work." Feeling the body temperature of the cat in his arms gradually rising, Liu Yiming was also a little distracted, but thinking that he would meet the Japanese later, he could only persuade him.

"Hmph!" Zhang You frowned, made a cute nasal sound, turned around, picked up the box and left.

"You have to come back early tonight..." Zhang You suddenly turned around and said in a pitiful tone when he was about to leave the door.

Without waiting for Liu Yiming to answer, he hurried away.

"You said it as if I bullied you." Liu Yiming was confused. He hadn't worked overtime recently. He got off work at five o'clock, then taught a thought class, got home at half past six, had dinner and took a shower, and played from eight to ten o'clock. It was very regular!

Liu Yiming pressed the button, and the light at the reception desk lit up. Xiao Songyuan entered Liu Yiming's office under the guidance of the receptionist.

"Mr. Xiao Songyuan, sit down." Liu Yiming greeted briefly.

"Your country did not send a diplomatic note, did not give advance notice, and gave such a strange treaty right away. It's hard for me to deal with it!" Liu Yiming spoke first.

"Commander..." Xiao Songyuan was about to speak.

"I am the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Nanhua. Please call me by my title." Liu Yiming interrupted.

"Minister, it was hasty and I did something wrong. These things will be made up later. I wonder what you think about Nanhua and Japan establishing diplomatic and cooperative relations?" Xiao Songyuan held back for a while, but the Japanese can endure it. It's been a whole morning!

"I've said that your country's approach makes it difficult for me to deal with it, not to mention these, which can be said to be stupid cooperation conditions." Liu Yiming said leisurely, let's talk, kill time, I've eaten.

"The Japanese Empire believes that this is a necessary condition that does not touch the bottom line of Pumpkin. For the interests of the Japanese Empire, this cannot be changed." Xiao Songyuan thought that Liu Yiming just wanted to negotiate with Japan and said confidently.

"No, no, no, I think we don't need to talk about this, but something else." Liu Yiming laughed sarcastically.

"What?" Xiao Songyuan didn't understand.

"Why does your country think that Pumpkin needs to establish diplomatic relations with Japan, especially when it needs to damage the interests of South China." Liu Yiming took a sip of tea.

"In the Far East, there are only four countries that still maintain sovereignty. Shouldn't we unite to resist the invasion of white devils?" Xiao Songyuan said.

"Unity is unity, I just want to know, you come to cooperate with me, why should I damage my interests to satisfy you?" Liu Yiming's face turned ugly. Japan, which has not yet risen, is so shameless. What will happen if it rises?

"At present, among the four independent countries in the Far East, Thailand is in a semi-encirclement state. The size of the die is sufficient, but it has fallen into division. Each place is governed by itself, and it is difficult to maintain the political system. South China is too small to resist the white devils. Only Japan is the best candidate to resist the white people." Xiao Songyuan said with a red face.

This is really a statement that exists, a statement made by Japan for the so-called justice.

"Then, Nanhua wishes Japan success." Liu Yiming said indifferently. He thought he could play a trick on Xiao Songyuan before, but seeing this enthusiastic look, he had to.

"What about cooperation? Minister, this is good for all yellow people." Xiao Songyuan said excitedly. He didn't understand why so many people were interested in something, but the man in front of him was unmoved.

Under this slogan, Japan did gather a lot of people, and more would gather in the future, until the outbreak of World War I, the Twenty-one Articles, completely exposed his ambition.

"Such a great thing, Nanhua is too small, so we will not participate, I wish Japan success." Liu Yiming served tea to see him off.

"Since Nanhua is unwilling, let's talk about simple cooperation." Xiao Songyuan said with a dark face.

"Cooperation is OK, like on this list, recruiting Japanese as troops, recruiting Japanese instructors, factory technicians, and selling minerals at low prices, buying Japanese government bonds, etc., don't mention it." Liu Yiming took out the document and threw it on the table casually.

"Japan is working hard for the yellow race, and you should pay a little resources and money, right?" Xiao Songyuan stood up and said.

Liu Yiming looked at the clown in front of him.

"You should know the content of my cooperation with Beiyang, and this content is also valid for Japan." Liu Yiming said indifferently.

"Really?" Xiao Songyuan stood up excitedly, which meant that the most core purpose was achieved.

"If you agree, sign this trade contract." Liu Yiming threw out a contract.

"Wait! Is this contract different from Beiyang's contract?" Xiao Songyuan looked at the contract carefully, but didn't see the one he wanted most.

"It's exactly the same, except for the settlement method." Liu Yiming said.

"What about population? You bought so much from Dongshan and paid with goods. I also ask Japan to get the same treatment." Xiao Songyuan said excitedly.

"You can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want. Nanhua has never participated in population trade." Liu Yiming said lightly.

"As for those people from Dongshan Province? They are just labor dispatch. After working in Nanhua, they apply for immigration. We want all immigrants who meet the requirements." Liu Yiming said with a smile.

"Japanese people are also OK?" Xiao Songyuan asked weakly.

"No matter where they are from, as long as they meet the regulations, we want them." Liu Yiming said sincerely.

"What regulations?" Xiao Songyuan asked.

"You can read it yourself." Liu Yiming threw a piece of paper to him.

"Huh~" Xiao Songyuan exhaled after reading it and showed a relaxed smile.

"Liu! You are a friend of the Japanese Empire!" Xiao Songyuan thought that this was a sign of Liu Yiming's surrender, so his tone became a little condescending.

"Oh? Then Mr. Xiao Songyuan, the signing of the trade contract?" Liu Yiming reminded with a smile.

"I think there are still many problems to be solved in the trade contract. Let's put it aside for the time being. In addition, please help us find a house to be used as the residence of the Japanese embassy in the future. I hope it is not too far from your headquarters." Xiao Songyuan said with a good feeling.

"Is Mr. Komatsubara too confident? Embassy? We haven't talked about setting up consulates in each other's country yet, and this is not in line with international practice, and Nanhua does not accept it." Liu Yiming said angrily.

First, Japan has no competitive products and can only export some silk and rice to exchange for foreign exchange. Therefore, by signing a trade treaty with Nanhua, Nanhua can make a lot of money from Japan.

Secondly, Komatsuhara's words and deeds all ask Nanhua to prepare a consulate, but he does not intend to pay anything, and he did not even mention the Nanhua consulate in Japan.

Finally, the embassy can have military attachés and basic defense capabilities. In addition, the Japanese are careful. If they really want to open it, they can store one or two companies of arms, plus immigrants. They are so close that they can attack at any time. The Japanese will really do this, and they have done so in history.

"What do you mean, Mr. Liu?" Komatsuhara stood up, trying to put some pressure on Liu Yiming.

Unfortunately, although Liu Yiming is not tall, he quickly returned to his figure before crossing. 179cm muscular golden wheel, of course not tall in modern times, but at this time it is already a crane standing out from the crowd. Especially in Japan.

"What I mean is, I refuse, all refuse." Liu Yiming said.

"Hmph! The Japanese Empire will remember what you did!" Xiao Songyuan was furious, but found it useless, so he could only say.

"As for immigration, as long as it is carried out normally according to regulations, we allow it. As for other things, please issue a formal diplomatic note from your country, otherwise no discussion." Liu Yiming snorted coldly and drove Xiao Songyuan out.

…………

"Hahahaha... Brother Yiming, you are so bad, how can you torment people like this?" At night, Liu Yiming hugged Zhang You and lay on the recliner, telling her what happened today.

"So, will there be Japanese coming to Nanhua in the future? I don't like Japanese people very much. They are so strange. Women put on makeup like ghosts, all white powder, but they are very well-behaved. I know a girl, I don't know if she will come. Men either look timid and look around, or look down on everyone and want to cut a knife, cruel and arrogant." Zhang You recalled her impression of the Japanese in Liu Yiming's arms.

"Don't worry, there won't be many people coming." Liu Yiming thought.

"Didn't you agree to that Xiao Songyuan?" Zhang You asked.

"Yes, but immigration requires a work certificate in Nanhua, a compliant labor dispatch company, and complete entry and exit procedures. In short, he will never be compliant." Liu Yiming explained.

"Ah~ You are so bad, I thought I had a chance to meet my friend. Let me tell you, she is still very beautiful when she doesn't wear makeup..." Zhang You straightened up and talked babble, not noticing that Liu Yiming had stopped listening.

Zhang You was wearing a snow-white silk dress, which looked like Hanfu, but it was a little short. She was wearing silk stockings. Because she was half-supported sitting on the recliner, the fabric on her shoulders slipped down, and Liu Erming couldn't help but raise his head.

"If you have anything, let's talk about it later!" Liu Yiming saw that the moonlight was just right, turned over and pressed Zhang You on the recliner...
