During the few days since arriving in Kunming, Wu Shaoting was still adapting to the living environment in Yunnan. As for the South Asian War, he did not follow up too closely. He just ordered the War Zone Command to report it as soon as possible once a major event occurred.

However, Wu Shaoting would still take time to discuss with the presidential staff to discuss the plan to re-dividend the territory of South Asia, which naturally involves the merger between Laos and Siam.

After several days of discussion, although Wu Shaoting wanted to directly annex Laos and Siam and turn these two countries into China's territory, most of the staff at the Presidential Office were worried about this. Looking at the precedents of colonial rule around the world, it is impossible to rule the colonies once and for all. Any nation and country will have ideas, as long as there is thought. It is not even difficult to speculate that many countries that have colonization will set off a frenzy of resistance in the future.

What China needs to consider now is not annexing these two countries, but how to ensure China's leadership over them for a long time.

The best way is to plan Laos and Siam as affiliated "city-states" of the Republic of China, and in the future, cultural aggression policies can even be implemented, continuously strengthen the meaning of "city" and weaken the influence of "states".

In other words, Laos and Siam were developed into the Special Administrative Region of the Republic of China, and China permanently controlled the military, diplomatic and other powers in the two places, giving certain legislative and judicial privileges.

In the overall perspective, we must cultivate the national concept of the people in Laos and Siam, so that they can believe that they are citizens of the Republic of China and that they are just living in a specific administrative region.

Wu Shaoting of course knew that after World War II, the pattern of the whole world had undergone major changes. After the former colonial power, Britain suffered a craze invasion of the ** movement, its national strength dropped sharply. It has to be said that he agrees with the saying, "If you have thoughts, you will have resistance." If you want to truly have leadership for a long time, you must naturally change your previous colonial methods.

Regarding the establishment of a special administrative region and the creation of a colony with the concept of "city-state" is strictly not a novel method. Japan also made similar plans when it annexed North Korea, but it eventually collapsed under the interference of external forces.

However, if you think about it carefully, it takes multiple aspects to truly integrate a colony. Cultural invasion is one of them, and colonies are also one of them through forcibly colonizing and assimilating them. In addition, there are many aspects such as economy, politics, military, etc. Only when these aspects are integrated into the colony can the colony be highly assimilated and eventually develop into part of the country.

After these talks, Wu Shaoting decided to set up a new government department, named the "National Policy Advisory Office", which is responsible for policy research on colonies and overseas use territories. He immediately sent the order to Nanjing, allowing Feng Guozhang to personally preside over the preparation of the "National Policy Advisory Office", and immediately launched policy research and related planning for North Korea and South Asia.

On February 29, a group of people from the Tokyo Ruan family arrived in Kunming from Guangxi. Gu Pinzhen and the Kunming mayor arranged everyone at the city government guesthouse and dispatched a company of military police troops to guard the protection. The recent news of assassination has become increasingly tense, so naturally, they cannot relax the security work of the Tokyo Ruan family.

The next morning, Gu Pinzhen arranged for the Ruan family to go to the head of state camp to conduct formal negotiations with Wu Shaoting before ascending the throne.

Before this, Wu Shaoting had brought a contract to establish a cooperative relationship with Vietnam from Nanjing, with the content roughly the same as the "Twenty-Ten China-DPRK contract", including China's future loans to Vietnam, railway construction, trade development, concessions, and military cooperation.

China decided to open three concessions and one military-controlled area in Vietnam, with the concessions being Renhua Port, Cam Ou Port and Vung Tung Port, which are basically the concessions area across the city. As for the military-controlled area, it is one in Hanoi. It is mainly because the war has not ended yet and it will take some time to recover after the war is over, so this system is implemented.

At that time, the Chinese team will be stationed in Hanoi and adopt militarized management of specific areas in Hanoi. It is expected that the military control area will not be lifted until the South Asian War is completely over.

Nowadays, the Tokyo Ruan family has almost no political power. Even those warlords who claim to support the Tokyo Ruan family in Vietnam have chosen their current position under the instructions of China. Strictly speaking, these warlords do not care about the identity of the Tokyo Ruan family. Therefore, it can be said that the Tokyo Ruan family is now a puppet supported by China. Even if China makes more rude requests, they can only choose to "accept it happily."

Half a month ago, Kunming had already sent the framework of this contract to the Ruan family in Tokyo so that these people could prepare in advance.

When Wu Shaoting walked into the arranged reception room, the people of the Ruan family in Tokyo who had been waiting for a long time immediately stood up. Of course, there were a few familiar people, including Cai Cha, the butler of the Ruan family who met in Guangdong a few years ago. However, what surprised him was that it seemed that Cai Cha had now become the leader of the Ruan family in Tokyo, and the others were very consciously standing behind Cai Cha.

Before leaving with the Chinese translator, Cai Cha respectfully bowed to Wu Shaoting.

Wu Shaoting nodded slightly and replied, then made a "please" gesture to signal everyone to sit down.

"Where is the direct leader of the Ruan family now?" Wu Shaoting asked straight to the point after he sat down.

Cai Cha was about to answer, but a servant rushed to Wu Shaoting and whispered to Wu Shaoting that the head of the Ruan family was currently in the lounge next to him.

Wu Shaoting frowned, feeling a little unhappy, and asked in a deep voice: "What does it mean?"

The attendant quickly said, "The head of the Ruan family told me to go to Cai Cha to discuss the contract matter first, and then talk to the head of state for other matters separately. Cai Cha is now the plenipotent representative of the head of the Ruan family."

Wu Shaoting was puzzled. At this time, the Vietnamese dared to put on airs. But he was calm first. Things had to be clear before they could make a conclusion. He immediately turned to Cai Cha and asked, "Mr. Cai Cha, since the head of the Ruan family authorized you to negotiate with me, can you tell me what are the considerations of the cooperation treaty I handed over to you before?"

Cai Cha smiled slightly and said seriously: "Actually, these contracts are easy to talk about. But our head of family has a requirement. As long as the head of state can agree to our request, our head of family will definitely cooperate with your country after ascending the throne and provide more benefits for your country."

Wu Shaoting laughed, but unexpectedly the Vietnamese still had their own requests. He said, "Who will listen to you?"

Cai Cha adjusted his tone and said solemnly: "I hope the Head of State can support our family leader to become emperor."

Wu Shaoting suddenly realized that the "ambitions" of the head of the Ruan family were no longer limited to being kings. If it were in the past, perhaps the proclaimed emperor and king would have been two completely different things, and political influence was also two different things. But now for Wu Shaoting, proclaiming emperor and king is just a monarchy. Since Vietnamese desire this form, they can simply satisfy them. From this point of view, the Vietnamese actually maintained the ideological model of decades ago.

"So that's it," Wu Shaoting smiled indifferently, "The ascension of the head of the Ruan family ascended the throne or became king. This matter should not be interfered by our China. If Vietnam supports the head of the Ruan family to make such a decision, we will definitely be understandable."

"I understand the meaning of the head of state. In this way, this matter will be much easier." Cai Cha said while nodding. He naturally understood what Wu Shaoting meant. Since China expressed his intention not to interfere in this matter, he acknowledged that the head of the Ruan family would be called emperor.

"So, about the contract..." Wu Shaoting shifted the topic to the main business.

"Our homeowner is willing to accept all the contracts provided by your country. In addition, in order to express your gratitude to your country for supporting our homeowner to be emperor, we are willing to redefine the land and sea boundaries between Vietnam and China." Cai Cha said.

"Is that so? This matter is indeed worth paying attention to." Wu Shaoting said with a smile. Since Cai Cha said it was to thank China, when redefining the land and sea boundaries, a part of the territory will naturally be drawn up to belong to China.

"I believe that our Vietnam Empire will surely establish more cooperation with your country in the future." Cai Cha said hinting.

"I'm looking forward to it. In addition, I would like to ask when will the head of the Ruan family be convenient for me to meet?" Wu Shaoting deliberately changed his serious attitude and said in a very serious tone.

"I think, now the Head of State can go to our head of the family to meet." After Cai Cha said that, Ma turned around and gave a few instructions to a follower. The follower stood up and walked out of the conference room, and went to the lounge next door to inform the head of the Ruan family.

A few minutes later, the follower returned to the conference room and came to Cai Cha and whispered a few words.

Cai Cha immediately stood up and said respectfully to Wu Shaoting: "Please move to the lounge. Our head of state is ready to meet with the head of state."

Wu Shaoting stood up without saying a word and followed Cai Cha to the lounge next door.

When I opened the door of the lounge, I saw that there were seven or eight young women in Vietnamese women's national costumes in the lounge, surrounded by a young woman in full dress. The woman in full dress had a slender figure, as if the breeze could blow away. Her thick dress made her face look even smaller. Her skin was slightly dark, but her facial features were delicate and her thin eyes were moist and thorough. She could not be said to be a beauty.

Wu Shaoting looked closely and realized that the woman in her dress was somewhat similar to Ruan Lingzhi. He couldn't help but guess whether the other party was Ruan Lingzhi's brother sister.
