1890 King of Southeast Asia

Perhaps because they got psychological comfort from Nanhua, the Americans soon issued stronger diplomatic words to Spain.

War was inevitable, but Liu Yiming did not care about the military preparations for the time being. After talking with various countries, he returned to Surabaya.

On March 10, 1898, there were only Xu Hui and Liu Yiming in the Prime Minister's Office.

Xu Hui was "persuading":

"Why bother? It was natural for you to raise your arms and wear the yellow robe. In the past few years, you could use the excuse that Nanhua had just been established and the domestic situation was complicated to preserve the national strength.

Later, you can say that the relationship was tense and appeased the people, but you were unwilling to even take the position of president... Why bother so much?"

Xu Hui said a lot today, but Liu Yiming never thought about it at all, and he was not the material to be an emperor.

"The limitations of the times, let's slowly change the Chinese people's concept of imperial power? We don't have that much time.

The feudal monarchy obviously can't continue, and the will of the monarch should obey the country, but do we envy it? The initial training of immigrants is a total of three months, and we have to spend a month to teach them not to kneel when they see people..." Liu Yiming shook his head.

If he was the original Liu Yiming, it wouldn't matter, but he was not. The nine-year compulsory education taught him to think dialectically.

If he was born in the imperial system, or in the north, he would also continue the imperial system (next book), because time, for the Chinese, time is the most important, and the era of barbaric expansion will not last too long.

"That's it, in seven days, I will take office as president, and then merge the positions of president and prime minister, take office as head of state, and you will be vice head of state." Liu Yiming made the decision and ignored Xu Hui's desire to continue speaking.

Liu Yiming was a little shameless. He wanted to be an elected president. Even if it was a so-called poisonous ruling, this kind of thing was normal anyway, and it would not count if the head of state's term was not stipulated.

(There are many countries without term limits, such as Germany and Japan, and no one says they are poisonous...)

March 17, South China Parliament.

The staff was nervously sorting out the ballots in their hands, opening the first one: "Aye!"

Then the second, the third...

"Aye!"

"Aye!"

"488 votes in favor, 0 votes against, 42 abstentions, more than 80 voters and more than 50 votes, the vote is valid, and the former South China Prime Minister Liu Yiming will be the president of the country."

...

Liu Yiming stood up and announced "Proposal No. 1080".

The more they listened, the more excited the parliamentarians became, and then a new round of voting began.

The counter glanced at the figure sitting high up and reported the final result:

"Proposal No. 1080, 530 votes in favor, 0 votes against, the proposal passed unanimously, and will be submitted to the government tomorrow!" This was almost shouted by the counter.

The scene broke out into enthusiastic applause, and many people jumped up in cheers.

Liu Yiming won. Although he couldn't lose even if Feilong rode on his face, he was still relieved.

The imperial party won. Although Liu Yiming didn't become emperor, he took control of all the power, which was a huge progress and he regarded it as his victory.

Only Xu Hui knew that this was just Liu Yiming's long-planned plan...

On March 19, the government held a plenary meeting. The control areas of Nanhua voted unanimously and passed Proposal No. 1080 with an overwhelming advantage of 9882 in favor and 118 abstentions. (Zhang You, Zhang Wentao, Liu Wanhua and others)

On March 20, the Sishui Municipal Square, the majestic square, was crowded with people. At 8 o'clock in the morning, facing the first ray of sunshine, Liu Yiming appeared on the high podium.

The national anthem sounded, and the sun, moon, and stars flag fluttered.

"According to the 1080th proposal of the South China Council, the position of president and prime minister will be merged and called the head of state. President Liu Yiming will be the head of state, and Prime Minister Xu Hui will be the vice head of state..."

The salutes rang out. According to the recollections of later generations, the police who maintained order that day were more excited than the onlookers...

"What a irony! What kind of cooking is this?" Valemiaro Weiler, the then Spanish Governor-General of Luzon, said angrily. (This is from 1894-1896. I didn't find it in 1898, but it can explain it...)

Weiler was not born noble and had no noble title. His father was German and his mother was Spanish. He only received primary education, and then joined the soldier school and went to Cuba to serve as the first in his grade.

18 years old, the next year South China was established. Weiler, who was serving in Luzon, took the opportunity to blackmail the Chinese (some official in Manila), arrested the Chinese and put them in jail. If they didn't pay, they would be tortured to death.

It was not until 1893, when Nanhua won two naval battles, that Weiler restrained himself. In 1894, Nanhua lodged a serious protest to Spain, but Spain ignored it...

First published in this book:——

However, as Nanhua became more powerful, Spain was unable to cope with it, so it left Weiler, a tough executioner.

"You can't say that. His Majesty Napoleon is also an elected emperor." The Frenchman raised his eyebrows.

Weiler stopped talking. He now had something to ask of the Frenchman: "I don't know about the negotiations with the United States..."

The Frenchman's mouth twitched, and finally said: "It failed. The Americans said they had no plan to attack the Luzon Islands." Then he kept silent.

Weiler suddenly lost motivation...

The Frenchman stood up and patted Weiler on the shoulder, and was silent for a while: "Although the matter was not done well, according to convention, the balance must be settled!"

This sentence is powerful, more spiritual than when mentioning Napoleon.

"I know, can you trouble you, and then contact South China ..." Weille said hard.

The French enthusiastically said: "Of course, but this is another business, and you have to consider it clearly, do you really want to surrender to Nanhua? The color of your country is very ruthless ..."

What is the way Weller? The Americans have no reason to let go of Luzon. Since the Americans do not fight, and South China has just held a military exercise in Borneo, it immediately focuses on the rights of the country. Isn't this clear?

You know that the core of South China is Java, not Borneo.

For so many years of Governor, he has received bribes and searched for ground skin. He has accumulated a total of more than one million pounds of wealth, and has not calculated the fixed assets in Luzon. He doesn't want to die, and he doesn't want to be a sinner -so uncomfortable than death.

So, can only play a show with Nanhua, but is it the South China Association ...

..............

"The Americans concluded that the voices in China all point the finger at Spain. Moreover, the official identification was also the Spaniards attacked the Maine with a mine ..." Xu Hui took a newspaper and handed it to Liu Yiming.

Liu Yiming didn't see it. This was all his unexpected things: "The war began immediately. I want to contact other countries, and the internal affairs will be handed over to you first. Governor Lu Dong hopes to surrender. I refuse ...

The war will end soon, and the situation is not so good afterwards ... "

In recent years, South China ’s diplomatic relations are very simple, because it does not involve too much benefits, and if this goes on, South China has a trend of dominating the Southwest Pacific.
