So what Duan Xun said was categorical.

"We must destroy Japan's attempt. Vice Chairman Wang, can you tell me if there is any way?"

Duan Xun immediately asked Wang Jingwei.

Wang Jingwei said: "This time Japan's invasion of the United States must have greatly shocked the Americans. Perhaps some factions in the United States took advantage of the situation to support peace talks with Japan. To sabotage such peace talks, I think the best way is to Start with public opinion."

"How to follow the public opinion?"

"We have a lot of photos of Japan's torture of US military prisoners in the Philippines, including many corpses of US soldiers in the Philippines. We have obtained these photos with great difficulty and have not used them before. I think these photos must have appeared in American newspapers. It will cause a sensation in American society. At that time, no matter what political group it is, it is estimated that they will not dare to make peace talks."

"It's a good method."

Duan Xun nodded, agreeing with Wang Jingwei's plan.

The attack on the mainland of the United States brought shock and even panic to Americans.Maybe some political groups in the United States will bring up "isolationism" again and actively promote the peace talks between the United States and Japan.

But Duan Xun needs to break this matter.

Let more Americans see how their soldiers were mistreated by Japan, and let them know how many of their soldiers died in the Philippines.In the Philippines, the United States has [-] U.S. troops, which is not a lot at all.If Americans know so many U.S. troops, it is estimated that less than half of them are alive, and some photos of abuse will definitely anger American society.Japan wants to negotiate peace with the United States, but it is very beautiful.

Duan Xun wished that the Japanese army would directly attack the mainland of the United States, although he knew it was impossible.But the United States and Japan must continue to fight, and they must not negotiate peace.In order to sabotage their peace talks, Duan Xun is willing to use any means.

"But remember, don't pass these photos out of our hands."

"Yes."

After entering 1942, Asia suddenly had two more countries.

On January 1942, 1, with the support of the Japanese, the Korean Empire was established in the southern part of the Korean Peninsula.Japan stated that it would abolish the "Japan-Korea Merger Treaty" signed with the Korean Empire in August 1 and return to the sovereignty of the Korean Empire.

Appointed Lee Eun (yin), the seventh son of Joseon Gojong Lee Hee, as the emperor of the Korean Empire.

Japan's support for the new government is not just on a whim, nor is it out of thin air.Historically, after the Sino-Japanese War, the 26th king of the Joseon Dynasty, that is, Joseon Gojong Lee Hee, proclaimed himself emperor in 1897, established the reign name "Gwangmu", and changed the country name to "Daehan Empire".This is where the Korean Empire came from.

After Gojong Lee Hee abdicated, his eldest son Lee Ji (zhi) became the 27th king of the Joseon Dynasty and the second emperor of the Korean Empire.Li Yin, the seventh son of Gaozong Lixi, became the crown prince because of rumors that Li Ji was sick and unable to have children.However, after only three years as the emperor of the Korean Empire, Li Ji signed the "Japan-Korea Merger Treaty" with Japan, and the Korean peninsula completely became Japan's territory.

After the merger, in order to win over the Korean royal family and appease the Korean people, Japan stated that everyone in the Korean royal family was treated the same as the Japanese royal family.Therefore, these members of the Korean royal family have accepted various titles like the Japanese royal family.

Several of them grew up and received Japanese education in Japan at an early age.

Many members of the Korean royal family have positions in Japan, even military positions, but they are basically empty positions.However, there are three people who actually received military education in Japan and grew up in Japan since childhood.One is Li Yin, the seventh son of Gaozong, and the other two are Li Jian and Li Yu (yu), the sons of Li Jie (gang), the fifth son of Gaozong.All three of them received Japanese military education in a serious way, and after graduation they actually entered the army as officers.

And they are all Korean royal family, so their marriage is not casual, they all need to accept the approval of the Japanese royal family.Basically, these descendants of the Korean royal family who grew up in Japan, their wives are all Japanese, and basically they are all members of the royal family.As the last crown prince of the Korean Empire, Lee Eun's wife is Princess Bangja, the daughter of King Shoujeong of Ibon Palace.This Princess Fangzi is also quite famous.

When Hirohito was the crown prince, this was once a candidate for the crown prince.However, I don't know how many people intervened behind the scenes. Anyway, the doctor diagnosed her as infertile, so she was disqualified from being a princess.But I didn't expect that he would give birth to a child in the second year after marrying Li Yin, so the doctor who diagnosed Princess Fangzi's infertility at that time could only commit suicide and apologize.

It can be said that no one knows what Li Yin is thinking in his heart, but his relationship with Japan is very close.After all, he grew up in Japan since he was a child, received Japanese education, and married a Japanese royal woman.Although he is a descendant of the subjugated kingdom, Li Yin enjoys the treatment of a master in Japan and has a very good relationship with his wife.Li Yin himself served as the head of the Japanese First Division in June 1941, and he was almost inseparable from Japan.

This time, Japan supported the establishment of the Korean Empire and allowed Lee Eun to return to China as the emperor. The meaning is very clear.What Lee Eun inherited was the Korean Empire left by Lee Hee, King Gojong, and Lee Ji, Sunjong, in Joseon Dynasty. It can be said that it is a true lineage.Speaking of which, from the previous situation, the Korean Empire belongs to the orthodox position.

Japan is not just for the simple establishment of a puppet government, but is also preparing to fight a public opinion war with the North Korean Republic.Although the Joseon Kingdom has been destroyed for so many years, Lee Eun was also ridiculed by many people in the Korean National Liberation Movement as a "Han traitor", but his status as a royal family and his status as the last crown prince gave him a huge halo.Many people still agree with his orthodox status, and they are also very supportive of the Korean Empire.When the Korean Empire was established, a large number of famous Korean families, many families that have been passed down for hundreds of years, supported Li Eun.

On the day the Korean Empire was founded, Japan announced its recognition of the Korean Empire and the establishment of diplomatic relations with the Korean Empire.It also stated that Japan only recognizes the Korean Empire on the Korean peninsula.

Of course, the newly established countries in Asia were not just the Korean Empire.

On January 1942, 1, the Anouin family announced the establishment of the Vientiane Kingdom in Vientiane City.Vientiane has a land area of ​​about 17 square kilometers and a population of about 87.Including the Chinese army and people from other countries in Vientiane City, the total number is about 103 million.In other words, the current Vientiane City has about 16 people from outsiders alone.

Vientiane declared the establishment of a constitutional monarchy.Subachai Anuin took over the position of King of Vientiane, and Mika Anuin served as Prime Minister of Vientiane.

China sent a heavyweight delegation to participate in the establishment of the Vientiane Kingdom.Because the Vientiane State is the first country established under the direct support of China, and it is also a very important country in China's Mekong strategy.

So the Chinese side attaches great importance to it.

Wang Jingwei, vice chairman of the Supreme Council, special envoy Duan Xun, chairman of the Supreme Council, Wei Chenzuo, former minister of foreign affairs, and Yu Xuezhong, commander of the Southwest Military Region, all three giants attended the founding meeting of Vientiane Kingdom.

Wang Jingwei is representing China's Supreme Council, and Wei Chen's team is here because he is in charge of the Southwest Diplomatic Office.As for Yu Xuezhong, it was for the troops stationed in Vientiane, and to learn more about the situation along the Mekong River.Because he, the commander of the Southwest Military Region, is likely to lead troops into the Nanyang region to fight in the future.

As the commander of the Southwest Military Region, Yu Xuezhong's status is too sensitive, so there is no chance to come out in person like this in normal times.Take this opportunity to take a good look at the situation here.

"Vice Chairman Wang, thank you for your country's support."

After the founding meeting of the Vientiane Kingdom, King Subachai Anuin of the Vientiane Kingdom hosted a banquet for representatives from various countries and thanked them for their congratulations today.In fact, there are not many countries that congratulate the establishment of the Vientiane Kingdom, and some of them are just sending individuals for China's face.

Only China is the most grand.

The next day, Vientiane Prime Minister Mika Anuin invited Wang Jingwei, Wei Chenzu, and He Fengshan to speak.Although Wang Jingwei had been thanked on the day of the founding of the People's Republic of China, he thanked him again when we met today.

Wang Jingwei smiled and said, "Prime Minister Anouin, these words between our two countries are too far-fetched."

"exactly."

Mika Anuin nodded repeatedly.

Regardless of what the Anuin family thinks, Mika Anuin is definitely a very smart person.One thing he knew was that Vientiane Kingdom was a very small country, a small country with a population of only one million.It is certain that such a small country must rely on a big country if it wants to develop.

For Vientiane Kingdom, taking refuge in China is currently the best choice.So Mika Anuin is currently very willing to build a good relationship with China.

"Prime Minister Anouin, Chairman Duan Xun of my country's Supreme Council asked me to congratulate the establishment of the Vientiane Kingdom on his behalf. At the same time, I would like to express my apologies to the king and prime minister of your country for not being able to come to the establishment site of the Vientiane Kingdom in person. I hope to have the opportunity in the future You can visit Vientiane Kingdom in person.”

"Chairman Duan is too polite. As long as the situation in Vientiane Kingdom stabilizes a bit, I will definitely go to Beijing to visit Chairman Duan in person."

Although they were all polite words, Mika Anuin was truly flattered.

Mika Anuin studied in the UK, and he is not a closed-off idiot who does not understand the development of the outside world.Mika Anu has seriously studied the changes in the world situation because of the restoration of the country.Today's China is not a country that was bullied by world powers decades ago, but a real world power and a world power.That was the country where the Soviet Union's 200 million troops lost their helmets and armor, and even a powerful country like the Soviet Union had to "cede" millions of land.And Duan Xun is the "dictator" of a world power like China.

How could Mika Anuin not be excited to receive such a polite message from such a person.

"Prime Minister Anuin, Chairman Duan Xun attaches great importance to your proposal of letting our country take the lead in establishing an alliance. During this period of time, our country's high-level officials have been discussing this matter, and finally came up with an idea. Chairman Duan Xun asked me to talk to you personally. Talk to Prime Minister Anouin and see if you have any better suggestions for our country's thinking."

"Vice Chairman Wang, please speak."

"Our country is going to take the lead in establishing a Chinese Federation. The main member states are mainly countries with traditional friendship in our country's history. The Chinese Federation is not a military ally, but to increase the relationship between each other. Of course, the specific content of cooperation still needs all of us Work together. What our country envisions is that the first batch of members of the Chinese Federation will consist of five countries: China, Vientiane, the Republic of Korea, Thailand, and the Republic of Myanmar."

For Mika Anuin's suggestion, Duan Xun really thought carefully.

Finally, the result of Duan Xun and everyone's research is that it is not a bad thing to establish a country similar to the Commonwealth of Nations.China has always been a leader in Asia and has deep relationships with many countries around it.

Establish a Chinese Federation, and China's position in the Asian Union will be more stable in the future.And when there is any conflict with European and American countries, at least there are many younger brothers who can wave the flag and shout.

"That's a good thing."

Mika Anuin was overjoyed immediately.

Dao: "With such cooperation, several of our countries can carry out more in-depth economic cooperation, political cooperation, and educational cooperation."
