Chapter 1059, anti-colonial frenzy
Wu Shaoting then said: "In addition, establishing a special agent organization in Vietnam is to establish an official intelligence system for the Vietnam Empire, which actually facilitates us to grasp the situations of Vietnam in all sizes. Chinese website ▲:▲Su▲Dream▲▲! Half of the funds can be counted in the Ministry of National Defense, and the other part is counted in the heads of Vietnam."
Wang Changling also replied: "I understand. I will place relevant matters immediately in the past two days."
Wu Shaoting thought silently for a while, then Xuan'er asked Wang Changling again: "What new news is there recently? Seeing that the United Legion is out of the way, they should not have no next move."
Wang Changling's face suddenly became serious. He lowered his voice unknowingly and said, "Head of the People's Republic of China, there is no specific news, or there is no certain news. However, our international intelligence personnel asked from third-party sources that the British people have been very close to the Americans recently. It is said that the British Finance Department has an order worth 40 million pounds to the American businessman for the responsibility, and it is not clear what the order is."
If it were at other times, Wu Shaoting would definitely think that this was not an important matter. In the end, the United States is a commercial country. It used World War I to provide many transactions to both sides of the war, and 40 million pounds may be a small one. But now he doesn't think so. The United Legion is about to collapse, and Britain will definitely not sit idly by and see South Asia fail, let alone let China threaten India.
There are other inside information about contact with the United States at this time.
But Wu Shaoting couldn't understand that the United States had no sign of joining the world war in early 1916, Germany's unlimited submarine warfare had not yet broken out, and the United States and China also had the potential to continue to grow trade. How could it rashly start a war because of a mere 40 million pound order?
"You must follow up on this matter quickly. Whether it is an ordinary incident or other insider, you must investigate it clearly." He warned in a serious tone that no mistakes are allowed at this time, and there is no other matter that will not be negligent for a moment.
"I understand." Wang Changling nodded and replied.
"Okay, you guys go and do what you have to do." Wu Shaoting waved.
Wang Changling and Long Yun left the head of state office, while Wu Shaoting sat behind the big table, carefully thinking about the current relationship between Britain and the United States. Although there are not many clues now, history has long changed, because the Republic of China joined the Allies and the world war, the pattern of the entire world war has been reversed.
The United States purchased a large number of war bonds from Britain and Japan before the war. This is undeniable. The current trade cooperation between China and the United States is obviously not enough to make up for the losses of this batch of war bonds.
Even though Germany has not instigated an unlimited submarine war, China's move forward has given the allies a great advantage, and at the same time posed a serious threat to the Allies. Faced with the one-sided situation of the world war, will the United States still compare with 1917? Even whether the world war will continue until 1917 is a problem!
In other words, it is entirely possible for the United States to join the war at this time!
Wu Shaoting leaned back to the back of the seat, showing a serious expression on his face, but he had not thought about this carefully.
Once the United States joins the war at this unexpected time, how should China respond?
From geopolitics, the United States should directly increase its troops to the main battlefield of Europe, but you should know that the Philippines and Guam are both overseas territories of the United States. Captain America can use the Philippines as a springboard and unexpectedly stab China in the back.
But then again, although the strength of the United States is not strong now, Wu Shaoting is not planning to be an enemy of the United States. In the end, China also needs a trade market, not to mention that when the navy has no strength, try to avoid making enemies from multiple sides. Losing the sea transportation line is a very unlucky thing. At that time, the beginning and the end will not be taken into account, and problems will occur sooner or later.
Wu Shaoting took a deep breath, and he muttered in his heart: It seems that we must use political means to strengthen Sino-US relations as much as possible. Regardless of whether the United States has any plans to join, we must now hold back this big player.
At this moment, the office door rang rapidly.
"Head of the People's Republic of China, North Korea's telegram." Deng Keng's voice came from outside the door.
"Come in."
"Seoul Operation Report." Deng Keng pushed open the door, before the person could walk in, the voice could not wait to come.
"What's the situation?" Wu Shaoting stood up and asked.
"Failed." Deng Keng sighed and handed the telegram to Wu Shaoting.
Wu Shaoting received the telegram and read it carefully. Although the air commando in charge of the operation successfully landed into the suburbs of Seoul, it broke into a fire with the guards when it broke into the Korean Palace. The commando failed to attack forcibly and had to order a retreat. As a result, the commando was surrounded by a large number of Japanese troops when it was moving outside the city. The entire commando and the agents responsible for the response of Seoul were 115. In the end, only seventeen people escaped by chance, and the rest were all killed.
After reading the telegram, Wu Shaoting's face fell deep, and he threw the telegram to the table with great force, and sighed in annoyance.
Deng Keng waited for a while, and then persuaded: "Head of the People's Republic of China, we have finished our righteousness and righteousness. The North Korean Provisional Government hints regrets about our actions, and in the final analysis, there is no intention of complaining."
Wu Shaoting said angrily: "I care what they mean? The losses of nearly one hundred people are more than the losses of fighting a day on the battlefield. Alas, take good care of the aftermath work."
Deng Keng nodded and said, "Of course, we will give preferential treatment and the head of state will be at ease."
After a pause, Wu Shaoting immediately asked: "What's the situation with the King of Korea?"
Deng Keng said: "The intelligence department is collecting news. Along with this telegram, there is an indefinite news. It is said that the Japanese are planning to transfer the King of Korea to Japan. The MIIS and the War Intelligence Bureau are pursuing the reliability of this news, and there should be an answer in a few days."
Wu Shaoting said deeply: "This is not good news. From this, it can be inferred that the Japanese have not planned to abandon this war. What force does Japan have to continue to support the war?"
When he said the last sentence, his expression seemed to be deeply thoughtful.
Deng Keng thought about it and said speculated: "It may not be that the Japanese still have the confidence to continue to build. Maybe they just hope to master the King of Korea and try to have an extra horse-raising campaign during the peace talks."
Wu Shaoting nodded slowly and said, "It makes sense..."
After continuing to think for a while, he suddenly said: "I remind all intelligence units to spread a message in North Korea as soon as possible, that is, our China and North Korea's temporary government are preparing to establish a new king of North Korea."
Deng Keng was stunned for a moment, and he hurriedly said, "First of the People's Republic of Korea, are we too rash in this matter? You also know that there are many people in the People's Republic of Korea who are loyal to Lee Hee. Doing so may cause civil strife in the People's Republic of Korea."
Wu Shaoting smiled indifferently and said casually: "It's just spreading rumors. In short, if someone in North Korea asks, you can just refuse and perfunctorily. There is no need to care about their reactions."
Deng Keng had no choice but to say: "Since that's the case, I'll go and negotiate with Lord Wang now."
Wu Shaoting nodded: "Go."
In the next few days, Wu Shaoting was paying attention to Ruan Lingzhi's ascension until March 5th, when Chinese and Vietnam officially held the throne ceremony in the banquet hall of the Kunming Municipal Government Guesthouse. Wu Shaoting specifically instructed the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to invite several counselors, secretaries and military officers from the Allied Powers to attend the joining ceremony. The number of people on the scene was lively, making the entire throne ceremony look like it.
After a series of tedious consciousnesses ended, Ruan Lingzhi wore a modified Vietnamese king costume, and a brand new Vietnamese imperial seal and scepter made by Cai Cha, and was officially announced to be the first queen of the Vietnamese Empire.
Ruan Lingzhi decided to be called "Vietnam Empire" and the reign was named "Gao Hua". She appointed Cai Cha as the left prime minister of the empire, hired Chinese official Tang Jiyao as the right prime minister of the empire and served as the chief foreign affairs consultant of the royal family. At the same time, she also hired Li Hansheng, general manager of the foreign-related company of Zhang Shengting, as the Minister of Commerce. After ascending the throne, she issued the first decree to announce that Vietnam has entered the preparatory constitutional stage, promising to build an errata constitution within the next six months.
In the afternoon, diplomats from China, Germany, Austro-Hungarian Empire, Ottoman Turkish Empire, and North Korea's Provisional Government signed diplomatic relations with Ruan Lingzhi, and sent diplomatic personnel to each other permanently.
Not long afterwards, Ruan Lingzhi issued a long-prepared declaration of anti-colonial aggression, denounced the colonial invasions of Britain, France and other countries, and called on South Asian countries to resist and restore the self-reliance of the country and nation. Not only that, Ruan Lingzhi announced that Vietnam joined the world war as an allies camp and declared war on colonial invaders such as France and Britain.
Although everyone knows that Vietnam does not even have the ability to stabilize its country at present, let alone declare war on Britain and France, it is nothing more than a political action directed by China behind the scenes.
But for China and all the allied camps, the European War entered a "powerful" stage a long time ago, and any fluctuations in the momentum played a significant role in the impact of the war situation. What's more, in the following months, China kept using public opinion to promote the incidents of Vietnam and North Korea, treating Vietnam and North Korea as typical of national self-reliance movements, thereby conveying a message of resistance to countries under colonial rule in South Asia and the whole world.
