This is a big guy who dares to think and do, and even many ideas are very ridiculous to others.However, many of Gu Zhengzhi's ideas are not only bold, but also very effective.

Seeing Hideki Tojo calm down, Gu Zhengzhi said: "Prime Minister, why did you decide to accept China's conditions to solve the Taiwan issue."

Gu Zhengzhi asked directly.

Japan has been procrastinating before, unwilling to resolve the Taiwan issue.But suddenly Hideki Tojo decided to accept China's conditions, not without reason.

"Because the empire needs China at this stage. The US industry is too strong. If you want to defeat the United States, the empire and China need to cooperate. I know that China is making war fortunes, but we can't help it. We really need China's support at this stage. This We have to admit it."

Hideki Tojo expressed his position helplessly.

It is very difficult for Hideki Tojo to admit that Japan needs China.However, Gu Zhengyu is one of Tojo Hideki's direct descendants, so Tojo Hideki did not hide his thoughts.

Japan has such a big stall now, it is impossible to persist without the support of China.

"Prime Minister, I think so too. The Empire needs China, and we must do everything possible to pull China down. As long as China and the Empire reach an alliance, it will be easy to solve the Burmese issue on the Pacific battlefield."

"But China has too much appetite."

Hideki Tojo gritted his teeth.

Hideki Tojo believes that he has made a lot of concessions, but China's appetite is too great and its ambitions are too great.More importantly, China was not moved by Japan's command at all.Hideki Tojo made a lot of concessions, but there is still a bottom line.That is the Sino-Japanese alliance. Even if Japan does not lead China, China cannot lead Japan.But at present, China is pressing every step of the way, appearing completely as an Asian hegemon, which is not acceptable to Hideki Tojo.

"Actually it's not impossible."

"Tell me."

"We support the independence of those Pacific islands, and then let them join the Asian Union in a legitimate way. As long as the Asian Union accepts these Pacific Islands, then any problems will arise between us and the United States in the future. When we compete for these islands, the Asian Union should not stand by. "

"is it possible?"

Tojo frowned.

The Pacific Ocean is full of islands, and there are also many important islands.At present, Japan controls many islands.Starting from the Mariana Islands, the Solomon Islands, Marshall Islands, Gilbert Islands, Tuvalu Islands, and Samoa Islands are all very important islands in the Pacific Ocean.

Most of these islands were controlled by the United Kingdom and the United States before the war.

After the war broke out, it was controlled by Japan.If they are drawn into the Asian alliance, it will further pit China against the UK and the US.In fact, when Japan handed over the Andaman Islands to China, it was not only to buy arms from China, but also to cause conflict between China and the United Kingdom.But I didn't expect that China and the United Kingdom, two old and cunning countries, would pretend that this incident never happened.

Not the Andaman Islands, what about these islands in the Pacific Ocean?

Will China accept it?

If it is really pulled into the Asian League, what will Britain and the United States think?

"Doesn't China want to restore their status as kings in Asia? As long as the newly established countries of these islands join the Asian Union, China must be responsible for them. If China dare not make any noise under the pressure of Britain and the United States, then How do they lead Asian countries?"

"Okay, you can give it a try."

Tojo Hideki snorted coldly: "Shina only wants good things, and once he encounters something, he immediately chooses to avoid it. We must draw Shina in, and we must not let him escape."

"it is good."

"What do you think of the 'Mekong Convention' they announced in China?"

716

"What do you think of the 'Mekong Convention' they announced in China?"

"I think we are too late in the Mekong River Basin. Those royal families have started to contact China. Compared with us, China's offer is much better. Like Vientiane, apart from relying on China for defense, other things China does not interfere, nor does it send anyone into the government agencies of Vientiane. And China is willing to pay for the infrastructure of Vientiane. We are completely inferior to China in this regard. But there is no need to be too anxious. Currently, the Laos supported by China The Kingdom of Vientiane, the Kingdom of Vientiane, and the Kingdom of Champasak are all small countries. The three countries seem to be countries, but the former Nanzhang Kingdom (Lancang Kingdom) split into three countries, and the combined population of the three countries is It’s around 300 million, it’s insignificant at all.”

Gu Zhengzhi tried to speak in a calmer tone.

However, Hideki Tojo shook his head and said, "Foreign Minister, you are just perfunctory. These three countries are indeed small countries the size of a palm, with poor economies and small populations, but their positions are not bad. Look at them Occupying two-thirds of the entire Mekong River Basin, Vietnam to the east, Cambodia to the south, Thailand to the southwest, and Myanmar to the northwest. China controls these countries, and the Mekong River Basin will become the territory of China. How can it be Insignificant."

Hideki Tojo's face was ugly.

The "Mekong Convention", which is a treaty signed between China and Laos, Vientiane, and Champasak, has just been announced.

These three countries in Laos are actually related to each other in history, or they are all relatives.In particular, the relationship between the Luang Prabang royal family and the Champasak royal family is even closer.

More than 200 years ago, when Laos was still the first unified dynasty, that is, the Lancang Kingdom, there was a palace coup.At that time, the prime minister of the Lancang Kingdom launched a coup. As a result, the royal princess at that time fled Luang Prabang and went to the abbot of Bensamui Temple.The abbot fled south with more than 3000 believers, and fled to Champasak with the princess.When she fled from the palace, the princess was already pregnant, and the child she gave birth to was later King Champasak.

The Lancang Kingdom also began to completely decline because of this palace coup, and finally became three countries.But the royal family of Luang Prabang continued.Therefore, it can be said that the Luang Prabang royal family and the Champasak royal family were still the same ancestor more than 200 years ago.

It's just that 200 years have passed, and this relationship has faded.

Because of China's intervention in Laos, the country of unified Laos is gone.Laos has now become three countries, all of which were originally French colonies.But with the establishment of the Vientiane Kingdom, the Luang Prabang royal family and the Champasak royal family also immediately contacted China.

The royal family of Luang Prabang established Laos, which is actually Laos.Historically, New China has always called Laos the Lao Kingdom, but later Laos abolished the monarchy and established a republic.In order to distinguish these two countries, New China no longer called Laos, but started to call Laos.

The capital of Laos is Luang Prabang.

Laos also adopts a constitutional monarchy, and the leader of the Luang Prabang royal family, Sisawang Feng, serves as the independent king of Laos.The first Prime Minister of Laos was Prince Pechala, who was born in a collateral line of the Luang Prabang royal family.

Although Prince Pechala is also from the royal family, but because he is not a direct descendant, he doesn't have much thought about retaining the royal family.Even the relationship between King Sisavang Von of Laos and Prince Pechala was poor.

Sisavang Feng may have gotten used to listening to the French colonists for many years, or the French colonists were not bad at the Luang Prabang royal family, so they had a good impression of France and were very willing to maintain friendly relations with France.On the contrary, Prince Pechala is a representative figure who wants Laos to get rid of French colonization.Prince Pechala is also the king of the Luang Prabang royal family who is most actively in contact with China.

That's why China supports Prince Pechala as Prime Minister and takes power in Laos.

The Champasak royal family established the Champasak Kingdom, with its capital in Pakse.Ratchadanai, the leader of the original Champasak royal family, served as the king of the Champasak kingdom, and Bao Ao, the heir of the royal family, served as the prime minister of Champasak.

And because these royal families took the initiative to contact China, the main institutions of the newly established government were filled with members of the royal family.

Among these three countries, Champasak is the smallest.

The land area is small, and the population is only about 30 people.Among these three countries, Luang Prabang has about 170 million people, Vientiane has 100 million people, and Champasak has only about 30 people.

China supported the establishment of Laos and Champasak, and then negotiated with these three countries.Because these three countries have been inextricably linked in history, the negotiations between China and them should not become a "3+China" meeting.

After a period of negotiations, on April 1942, 4, the "Mekong Convention" was issued.

There are many things involved in it, and it seems to revolve around the Mekong River.Including how to develop the Mekong River, how to utilize the Mekong River, and how to ensure the safety of the Mekong River.But Hideki Tojo and the others didn't look at this. What they paid attention to was what was hidden under these superficial terms.In particular, the three countries are willing to join the "Joint Mekong Force" of China and Thailand and accept the leadership of the "Joint Mekong Command" to maintain the security of the Mekong River.This is the most obvious signal.

These three countries are too small, with poor economies, small populations, and small land areas, so they have no national defense capabilities.If they were really capable, they would not have been bullied by Vietnam first, then by Thailand, and finally by France.

Therefore, the content of the "Mekong Convention" is ultimately about the national defense and security of the three countries.

They chose to join the "Joint Force on the Mekong River", the meaning is already very clear.They are prepared to hand over their national defense and security to China for a period of time in the future.Because the three countries know that it is time for a world war, don't look at declaring independence, but the situation is very pessimistic.These surrounding countries can be bullied at will.And they have a natural fear of France.

Therefore, they decided to pin their national defense and security on China at this stage.

For the sake of national defense and security, of course the Chinese army is invited to station there.Now China can station troops in Luang Prabang and Pakse in addition to Vientiane City.How could Hideki Tojo be satisfied with this.

After the publication of the "Mekong Convention", both Laos and Champasak applied to join the Chinese Federation to further develop relations with China.
