1890 King of Southeast Asia

Even the merger of two companies is not a simple matter. It involves balancing personnel arrangements, department operations, financial status and other issues, which cannot be solved in a day or two.

Not to mention the merger between two countries with vast territory, large population and many ethnic groups, even if the two countries have the same origin.

A very simple example, during the Southern Song Dynasty, did it really not have enough strength to counterattack northward? Not necessarily? If its military strength was really so weak, how could the Southern Song Dynasty have been established for 152 years?

The wealth of the Southern Song Dynasty was generally recognized. It had enough financial resources to support the Northern Expedition. The combat effectiveness of the army was also good, and it could pile up the North to death.

The result? Politically and economically, there was no possibility of success in the Northern Expedition.

What was the political correctness of the Song Dynasty? Emphasizing culture over military affairs, sharing the world with literati and officials, literati and officials must of course be wary of military men controlling power, and the most common thing was to suppress the combat effectiveness of the Song army.

This situation changed a little bit in the Southern Song Dynasty, mainly reflected in the fact that the Northern Expedition also became part of political correctness, but after all, it was only reflected verbally, and the defense against military men was still more than that of the Jin people.

Then, on the economic basis, after the Southern Song Dynasty stabilized, the people generally did not have a strong desire to march north, because mobilizing troops would increase taxes.

In addition, during the Southern Song Dynasty, the commodity economy developed rapidly, and trade with domestic and foreign countries gradually made the Southern Song Dynasty lose its dependence on the traditional Central Plains in the north. In other words, it was the same whether there was a war or not.

In this case, the Southern Song emperor and the scholar-official class almost lost the motivation to march north.

In addition, the people were worried that after taking back the north, would the poor people in the north affect their wealthy lives.

With various factors mixed together, the Han Dynasty sank.

Some people were also worried about the merger of the empire this time, mainly the South Chinese, and this was definitely not nonsense.

First of all, for such a large territory, the infrastructure construction alone is an astronomical figure.

It is also different from the Southeast Asian region where islands are scattered. In places where islands are scattered, the infrastructure is concentrated on large islands because it is relatively concentrated. A small island with a broken dock is enough, so the construction cost is not high.

And the entire continental territory needs to carry out infrastructure construction. I don’t know how many times more than the islands.

Let's not talk about other things. In border areas, where railways can be built, railways must be built, right? Let's not talk about other things. According to the railway construction costs of various countries in China, we take a relatively medium number, 40,000 taels of silver per kilometer.

(It should be the overall cost including the platform and the locomotive.)

Converted into Chinese yuan, 28,500 yuan per kilometer. Conservatively estimated, a horizontal and vertical railway, 5,000 kilometers, will require an investment of hundreds of millions.

Where do these hundreds of millions come from? China's finances? How much money is that? Not to mention the subsequent military expansion, you can't have a country without defense, right?

Some South China people can already see that the taxes they pay in the future will be used to fill this hole, so they feel a little uncomfortable.

Fortunately, the South China Empire was established not long ago, only more than 20 years ago, and the main residents are Chinese immigrants. These people have become the backbone of the empire.

They yearn to return to China. Of course, they are not going back personally, nor are they going back to live, but a more contradictory yearning.

In fact, unless there is a job transfer, few people will move back with their families. After all, life in Huaxia is not as good as in Nanhua.

Generally speaking, in the international environment at this time, Chinese people tend to be united. These can only cause a little trouble at most, but not a big deal.

On March 9, 1915, Sun Zaizhi and his entourage arrived at Banjarmasin Port under the escort of a warship. Banjarmasin Port held a grand welcome ceremony.

About 50,000 people attended the welcoming ceremony, including Liu Yiming, who also arrived in Banjarmasin, but at Xu Hui's strong request, Liu Yiming stayed on the train.

Xu Hui, the former Prime Minister of the Nanhua Empire and the first Prime Minister of the Huaxia Empire, brought Lin Anmin, the Imperial Foreign Minister, to greet Sun Zaizhi, the first Speaker of the Imperial Parliament, at the dock - the camera followed the whole process to leave precious video footage.

"Zaizhi, you have worked hard." Before Xu Hui moved, Lin Anmin stepped forward, holding Sun Zaizhi's hand with one hand and patting his shoulder with the other hand.

"Fortunately, I have fulfilled my mission." Looking at Lin Anmin, thinking about the experience along the way, Sun Zaizhi was also a little dazed.

At first, Sun Zaizhi's goal was to be a doctor. Later, Nanhua was short of manpower, so he came out to help, and he became busy.

Then, Sun Zaizhi was discovered by Lin Anmin in his busyness and promoted to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

At that time, Lin Anmin was actively recruiting talents for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. After all, Nanhua was short of everything at that time. Even a child who only knew how to eat was a treasure in their eyes.

Unfortunately, fate played tricks on people. Sun Zaizhi caught Liu Yiming's eye and was selected to implement such a plan. Together with him, there were Lin Juemin and others.

Lin Anmin was very familiar with these people.

"Okay, okay, it's good to be back. We have time to talk about the old days in the car. Get in the car first, don't stand here stupidly."

"Come on, Zaizhi, smile at the people."

Xu Hui stepped forward, interrupted the memories of the two with a smile, and pulled Sun Zaizhi aside, waving and smiling at the people.

After that, the guards stuffed the group of people into cars, and dozens of identical cars were shuffled and drove towards the train station.

As for the remaining hundreds of people on the ship? Half of them felt like they were home when they arrived at Banjarmasin. After the crowd dispersed, their former colleagues or comrades would come to pick them up.

The other half belongs to the South China faction officials and will be warmly received.

As for the operation of the interim government? The South China delegation, which has been headed by Huang Keqiang, has been received in the past.

"Prime Minister, I don't know what reaction to us in this period of time to us?" When I got in the car, the three old smoke guns took out the cigarettes and ignited.

During this time on the ship, the message was relatively closed. After all, there was no Internet at this time, and radio radio just pushed the regional push under the promotion of South China.

The so -called regional push is really regional. After all, too large the broadcast of broadcasting on the height of the antenna tower is too high, and the cost is not cost -effective.

There is not much source of information, so Sun Zaizhi does not know if there have been any changes in these days.

"In international public opinion, Western countries have expressed their dissatisfaction to varying degrees. You should ask Anmin in this matter. Anmin is the busiest during this time." Then, Xu Hui even showed a happy smile.

"That's right, almost no country supports us. A vote country in Europe and Japan and the United States expressed their opposition. British ambassador Siril came to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs twice a day for half a day."

"That is, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs will not go back for lunch regardless of his meals."

Lin Anmin showed a bitter smile and joked.

"What about South American countries? I remember that they have a good relationship with us." Sun Zaizhi frowned and asked.

"South America is a self -retained place in Europe and the United States. Except for Peru, which has a deeper relationship with us, other countries have not made any remarks, and they are temporarily neutral."

"Peru said that this will not affect the relationship between the two countries, but it does not clearly point out whether the country is the South China Empire or the Huaxia Empire."

Lin Anmin looked at Sun Zai's face after speaking, and saw that he was tangled and smiled.

"Not no one supports it, the Thai royal family published a congratulatory telegram." Lin Anmin looked at him with a smile.

Sun Zaizhi frowned deeper. He was too familiar in Thailand. He had served as a second -class secretary in the South China Embassy in Thailand, which was part of Lin Anmin's training for him.

Thailand's imports and exports, military, and diplomacy are all controlled by South China, and the internal affairs are also affected by South China. To put it bluntly, it is the colonies of South China.

How can the colonies oppose the clan?

So, is the emergence of the Huaxia Empire unpopular in the world?

Sun Zai's frown was locked.

"Okay, don't listen to Anmin's nonsense, what about no one support? We have not rely on who supports it to this day." Xu Hui can see Sun Zaizhi's eyebrows. Said.

Xu Hui lied. During the South China period, South China has always been looking for friends to make the words "unity can be united" to the extreme.

It is because of enough friends that South China can develop from a small Surabaya to a huge empire today.

During the South Pleuter War, Britain's subconscious response to Britain gave South China support. South China beating snakes on the stick and opened the navy development at a smaller price.

It is precisely because of the participation of the Navy that the Netherlands has completely lost the Dutch East India -this is what the British did not expect.

Later, the British threatened France and Japan, colluded with the French to suppress Britain, colluded with Britain, French Japan to resist Russia, and colluded with the United States to start with Spain.

For the first time in Nanhua, it was time to fight against Thailand. At that time, South China developed well.

Until now, the European War is being stunned, and Britain and France can't get energy to intervene in Southeast Asia. Xu Hui found that South China no longer has to look at anyone.

It was also at this time that Xu Hui began to promote the merger of the two countries.

"The Prime Minister is right, contain it, you have been out for too long, you don't stay in Borneo for a long time. I don't know our strength, so this reaction."

"This is right, but next, you have to change these habits. The merger of the two countries will make up for the last shortcoming of the empire. It only takes a few years, and we will not be afraid of anyone."

"Including Britain." Lin Anmin also said on the side.

"While there is still time, I will briefly introduce us about our situation ..."

Cangch ~

Xu Hui said half of the car, and the car suddenly had a sudden braking.

"What's wrong?" Lin Anmin grabbed Xu Hui and asked calmly.

"Someone ambush in front, asking the Prime Minister, Speaker, and Minister to stay quietly in the car. We will execute it in accordance with the scheduled plan." The driver looked ahead and calmly said.

On the left side of the steering wheel, a green light is flashing.

Two hundred meters in front of the car, three of the same cars are having black smoke, telling their encounters ...
