In the face of the demands of the Chinese Empire that they fulfill their promises, the leaders of the Indochinese Resistance Army could only accept it, and did not have the courage to resist at all. Although the Indochinese resistance defeated the French, they all knew how much the Chinese Empire had to do with it. If it were not for the help that the Chinese Empire provided to them, not only weapons and equipment, but also a large number of instructors. Otherwise, Indochina will be colonized by the French for an unknown amount of time.

"Very well, if you can think like that, it would be great. Soon, we'll be a family. Historically, the Chinese Empire was the leader of this land. Now, we're going to keep that going all over again. I believe that in the future, under the leadership of the Chinese Empire, the entire Greater China region will achieve rapid development. Yang Du was very satisfied with these people's statements.

Several leaders of the Indochinese Resistance Army nodded their heads. Becoming a vassal state of the Chinese Empire, under the leadership of the Chinese Empire, to rule the whole world, will be the best choice for these weak and small countries.

"Your Excellency Prime Minister, after we have established three kingdoms, how will we decide who will be the king?" Pan Peizhu asked.

The royal family of the Kingdom of Annam, although there are still some descendants, most of them are very unsatisfactory. If these people were to be made kings, to be the objects of their nominal allegiance, they would be somewhat dissatisfied. Of course, if the Chinese Empire insisted on doing so, they could not do it.

Ang Keou and Ba Chai also looked at Yang Du nervously. The future king of the Nanzhang Kingdom, they are also speculating whether it is the previous royal family.

"With regard to the future kings of the Kingdom of Annam, the Khmer Kingdom, and the Kingdom of Nam Zhang, after our deliberations, we have agreed that it will be the final result that His Majesty the Emperor will be concurrently held as the king. This would be the norm for the emperor of the Chinese Empire to automatically serve as king of these countries. You shouldn't say no, right? Yang Du said with a smile. In the eyes of the important ministers of the Empire, it was undoubtedly a great honor for the people of Indochina to have His Majesty the Emperor serve as their king. This is tantamount to making them the same as the people of the Empire, the subjects of the Empire.

Of course, according to the vassal system of the empire, the people of these three vassal states still belong to the second class. The first class of the people are the subjects of the empire. The people of the second class are the subjects of the vassal states of the empire. The third class is those in the occupied areas of the empire.

"His Majesty the Emperor will be our King at the same time?" Several leaders of the Indochinese Resistance Army were stunned one by one. I didn't expect the Chinese Empire to think like this. However, the vast majority of them are able to accept this result. After all, Emperor Wu Haoxuan was already a deified person in the entire empire and even in the Far East. They also believe that the vast majority of the population is willing to accept this outcome. Their own royal family has long since lost much influence in the more than half a century since it was colonized by France.

"Your Excellency Prime Minister, we, the Kingdom of Annam, agree with this very much. It would be best if His Majesty the Emperor could be the king of the Kingdom of Annam. Pan Peizhu hurriedly said. Pan Zhouzhen also nodded again and again.

"It is a great honor for the Nanzhang Kingdom to agree that His Majesty the Emperor will be our king." Ang Keou and Bachai also said.

It was Shiharu from the Khmer kingdom who had a strange expression on his face. This also attracted the attention of the imperial side.

"Shiharu, doesn't the Khmer Kingdom approve of His Majesty the Emperor as the king of the Khmer?" Foreign Minister Tang Shaoyi asked.

"My lord, I personally agree with His Majesty the Emperor being the king of the Khmer kingdom at the same time. However, the royal family of the Khmer kingdom has always existed. Moreover, it has a lot of influence in the Khmer Kingdom. If it is hastily abolished, I am afraid that it will cause some trouble. Shi Haru said with some concern.

"For that part of the population, it doesn't matter at all. Don't forget, you have guns in your hands. The current Indochinese Resistance Army has a total strength of more than 100,000 troops. In the future, the Empire will support you in building an army. These armies will not only support the war of the empire and the Western powers in the future. It can also be used to maintain domestic stability. Marshal Chen Xudong, director of the Military Intelligence Bureau, said.

"Yes, Marshal." Shi Haru nodded again and again, he knew what Marshal Chen Xudong meant. That is, if anyone dares to disagree, then directly use military means to suppress it. Anyway, the guns are in their hands, are they still afraid of those mobs?

"My Excellency, there is another problem in Indochina, and if we are not careful, I am afraid that it will affect the stability of Indochina. That was the Indochinese guerrillas led by Nguyen Pat. Now the Indochinese guerrillas are also becoming active. Without the suppression of the French, they are now expanding very quickly. In addition, Soviet Russia is trying to support them. If you let them go on like this, I'm afraid they will become a big problem. Pan Peizhu said.

Although, their friendship with Ruan Aiguo in the past was quite good. However, they were about to become the de facto rulers of the Kingdom of Annam. And Nguyen Aiguo and the Indochinese guerrillas he led will threaten their rule, which is naturally what they want to exterminate.

"On the question of the Indochinese partisans, we have already seen. After you have reached an agreement with the French and achieved independence, you can begin to exterminate the Indochinese guerrillas. I believe that with the current strength of the Indochinese Resistance Army, it is fully capable of exterminating the Indochinese guerrillas. When the time comes, the Empire will be as much help as you can. Marshal Jiang Baili said.

"Yes, Marshal." Pan Peizhu and the others nodded. Since the Chinese Empire has long had an idea about this. Then, they have nothing to worry about. Moreover, although the Indochinese guerrillas are developing rapidly, they are only more than 10,000 people. Compared with the resistance army, which was supported by the Chinese Empire, it was simply one in the sky and one in the ground.

"Ladies and gentlemen, in a week's time, French Foreign Minister Aristide Briand will arrive in Yenching. When the time comes, you will negotiate with the French. The French want to ransom those French* troops and expatriates that you have captured. You will need a proclamation from the French renouncing their rule over the colonies of Indochina, and reparations for your losses. When the time comes, the Chinese Empire will fully support you. If you have any conditions, you can put them forward now, and we will discuss them. Imperial Foreign Minister Tang Shaoyi said.

"Will we still be able to claim reparations from the French?" Pan Peizhu and the others asked. They had thought that it would be very rare to be able to get the French to give up their rule over the Indochina colonies.

"Of course, you have now captured a large number of French* troops, and many more expatriates. The initiative is in your hands, and you can do whatever you want. Of course, the best conditions are not too outrageous. In this case, it will also be conducive to reaching an agreement as soon as possible. Tang Shaoyi said.

"Then, Lord Tang, if we ask the French for a compensation of 100 million Chinese yuan, will the French accept it?" Pan Peizhu hesitated for a moment, and then said. 100 million Chinese dollars is already an astronomical amount for them.

However, after hearing their request, Yang Du and the others couldn't help laughing.

"It seems that you are saving money for the French! Although, France is now hit by the economic crisis, and the losses are relatively large. However, the camel that died was bigger than the horse, and France was one of the world's powers! According to the data we have obtained, France's fiscal revenues last year amounted to 48 billion francs, and this year, although it has suffered heavy losses, there are always more than 30 billion francs. If it is converted into Chinese dollars, there are more than 10 billion, and you only ask the French for 100 million Chinese dollars, don't you take the initiative to let the French go? Yang Du said with a smile.

Pan Peizhu and the others suddenly turned red, they didn't expect this at all. In their opinion, 100 million Chinese dollars is already a lot.

"The reparations paid to you by the French will be paid by the Reich, and this money will be used as funds for the establishment of your state. So, if you want to make it easier for you to build a state, get a little more money from the French. Tang Shaoyi also said.

"Then, my lords, how much do you think we should ask the French to compensate us?" Pan Zhouzhen asked.

Yang Du and Tang Shaoyi whispered a few words, and then said, "According to our estimates, five hundred million Chinese yuan should be appropriate. Of course, in order to give the French a bargain the next day, they asked the French for a billion Chinese dollars at the beginning. When the time comes, the empire will help you on the side, and let the French come up with 500 million Chinese dollars, which should not be a big problem. ”

"Five hundred million dollars?" Pan Peizhu and the others suddenly turned red with excitement. When have they ever seen so much money! If such a large sum of money falls into their hands, how will they spend it? At least, you don't have to go hungry anymore.

Of course, after the money is in hand, the three countries will be distributed. The Kingdom of Annam, the largest and most populous, should account for most of the reparations. The Khmer Kingdom and the Nam Palm Kingdom were smaller, and each family could get a little bit. But for them, it's already pretty good.

The reaction of Pan Peizhu and others made the Imperial Prime Minister Yang Du and others very satisfied. These leaders of the Indochinese Resistance Army were all poor. If they suddenly have a lot of money, they will be much more comfortable. Of course, a huge part of this money will fall into the hands of the Empire. All kinds of materials they need, as well as weapons and equipment needed for army building, had to be purchased from the Empire. (To be continued.) )
