Chapter 943
No matter what kind of national event it is, it is too far away for ordinary people.
After all, for the people, what they are most concerned about is not anything else, but three meals a day, the health of their own families, and a series of other things. Correspondingly, although they also care about national affairs, most of the time it is just before and after tea and dinner, and what they usually talk about when they are with friends.
It is also because of this relationship, although not so long ago the government announced changes to the Wehrmacht. But after a while, no one was thinking about such a thing. After all, there are many things to wait for them to do every day, and how many people will put all their energy into this? I'm afraid even those hot-blooded young people won't be like this.
As the sky grew darker, darkness began to envelop the city.
If it were another city, the whole city would be plunged into darkness at this time. However, at this moment, under those dazzling neon lights, Beijing, the political core of China, has become a city that never sleeps as the night falls.
At least for many people who have gradually adapted to this new era, late night is precisely their favorite time periodββββββ of course, this is probably the same even in the pre-Qing period, after all, in the pre-Qing period, including brothels and casinos, it is usually the night when business is the best time.
It is precisely because of the relationship that when the night falls and many people have begun to rest, for those prostitutes in brothels and gamblers in casinos. This is precisely the time when they are most activeββββββ and sometimes the two become one.
But now it is different, for China as it enters a new era. In addition to these older industries. Many new industries have also been born, such as nightclubs.
For young people in this era, it seems to be a good thing to go to a nightclub to dance and drink when they have nothing to doββββββ in addition to going to some parks or squares, in fact, a considerable number of young people prefer to go to this kind of place than to go to nightclubs. After all, with the cooperation of the musical fountain. It's a wonderful thing to travel there with your loved one.
But for many young people, there is no doubt. Probably the most popular among them are nightclubs. After all, there are many other entertainment activities to do in a nightclub besides dancing.
Of course, Yan Shao would never go to that kind of place, after all, Yan Shao's identity is no longer suitable for that kind of place. If only it would be known. Of course, the domestic media will not report it. But it's hard to say about foreign ones. After all, even if Yan Shao controls the domestic media, there is no good way for the foreign media.
What's more, Yan Shao doesn't like to go to that kind of place, for him to have such a free time, it is better to spend more time at home with his family, just like now.
ββββββββββββββββββββββββββ
In the garden behind the presidential palace, it gets dark as night falls.
Unlike the neighborhoods in the city, there aren't many high-rise buildings around the palace. This also makes it impossible for the surrounding area to illuminate the surrounding space with the lights on the buildings in GuΓ², as is the case in the city centre.
No. The area around the presidential palace is not really a high-rise building, at least the Empire State Building, which is hundreds of floors high, stands not far awayββββββ of course, this is only relative, after all, many people know the allusion of Wangshan running away from a dead horse. Yan Shao had a similar experience in his previous life, and it seemed to be a landmark building very close, but even if he walked for more than half an hour, he still didn't have the slightest intention of closing the distance between them.
In any case, despite its location far from the Empire Palace, the world's tallest building can still be seen through the lights on the Empire State Building, even if it is late at night.
However, compared with these artificial lights, both Yan Shao and Elainor obviously prefer the natural starlight in the sky.
Sitting on a bench in the garden, looking up at the stars, Elano softly sings the song of her hometown. The pleasant sound and elegant appearance are so heartwarming and fascinating. And the moonlight sprinkled on her body in a white dress, which also made her look like a goddess.
If there was a stranger standing aside at this time and seeing this scene in front of him, even if he told him that the woman sitting on the bench in front of him was actually a goddess from the West, I am afraid he would be convinced. Because Elinor at this moment is so beautiful, so noble, almost no different from a goddess.
At least for Yan Shao, who was sitting next to her, though of course, it was impossible to tell which of them was more beautiful, Elinor or Katarina. But at least one thing Yan Shao knows very well, that is, these four women in his life are equally important to him.
This singing voice even caused some of the boredom that had been accumulated in the young man's chest to completely dissipate.
For Yan Shao now, all the attention on his body has been focused on Elaine's body, as if he wants to firmly remember every slight movement on her face and completely remember these in his heart.
After the singing ended, he gently turned his head in the direction of Yan Shao, looking at Yan Shao's expression at the moment, Elaine's face couldn't help but show an expression.
"How's that, does it sound good?"
"It's good, of course it's good..."Hearing Elano's words, Yan Shao chuckled. I'm afraid I've never heard a better song in my life, and if anyone dares to say something bad, it's either blind or deaf..."
Anyone who hears a compliment is sure to be happyββββββ unless he's tired of hearing it. And there is no doubt that Elaline is definitely the kind of person who is tired of hearing compliments. After all, she is not only Yan Shao's wife, but also the helmsman of the Yushi Group. For many people, it is a figure like the God of Wealth. Where would such a person dare to offend?
But the compliments of the beloved, after all, are different from the others ...
On the other hand, look at Elanon. Yan Shao was thinking about French Indochina and dealing with the French.
ββββββββββββββββββββββββββ
If possible, Yan Shao was indeed reluctant to enter into a conflict with France.
This is not only because Yan Shao has lived in France for a period of time and has a certain affection for France. It is also because he wants to challenge some low-difficulty ββββββ can't do it, as mentioned earlier, after excluding Germany, there are a total of five powerful countries in the world.
The United States, Great Britain, France, Japan, and Soviet Russia.
At the moment, China is at odds with at least four of them. There is only one France left, although relations are good, but they are not without the possibility of contradictions. After all, for China, French Indochina can almost be said to be a must, but this place is a French colony.
If one is not careful. Then China may turn against France, the only power among the five major powers that has good relations with China. At that time, counting some of the forces that vassal these countries, I am afraid that China will need to stage a scene of fighting tenββββββ and according to what Yan Shao knows. Although it seems that the relationship between the French and China seems to be good. But in fact, there are many French people in France who don't like China.
This is not surprising, after all, China's rise itself has hurt interestsββββββ and when the world evolved from an earth country to an earth town, there was already a considerable degree of close ties between countries, although this connection does not seem to be very obvious. But when a country becomes strong, even the interests of other countries are bound to be affected. This is obviously more conspicuous in the era of the global village in later generations, but I believe it will not be much worse in this era.
What's more, in such an era of strong racial discrimination, the sense of superiority of white people has always been relatively strong. And the French are among the whites. It is undoubtedly a team with a strong sense of superiority. For them, their country will be surpassed by some Chinese. This is definitely a great shameββββββ no, maybe in their opinion, those yellow-skinned monkeys from the Far East still need to go a long way if they want to surpass France...
ββββββββββββββββββββββββ
With the Special Affairs Bureau and the force under his control, Yan Shao could clearly obtain some information from the French side. In particular, some of the speeches in France, in fact, the opinions in France are relatively easy to collect, after all, for people in this era, they always like to go to the streets to walk their opinions. Therefore, it is natural to know very well the tendency of speech in France, and at the same time, it is also clear that although the relationship between China and France is good now, this does not mean that all speech in France is inclined to Chinaββββββ of course, Yan Shao will definitely not dare to dream like this, I am afraid that no one will dare. Because it is very easy to control the thoughts and tendencies of one person, it becomes very difficult to control ten people, and if it is a hundred people...
As for the thousand and the thousand? That's basically an impossible task.
After all, a country has tens of millions of people, especially in countries like France. If you want tens of millions of people to like you at the same time, let alone Yan Shao or China, even anyone may not be able to do it. Don't you see that even in the Bible of Westerners themselves, there is such a traitor as Judas?
Even the 'all-knowing and all-powerful' family of God is still unable to achieve this difficult thing, so that his disciples cannot betray him, let alone a mortal like Yan Shaoββββββ although Yan Shao himself does not believe in religion, even if he believes in Taoism, after all, Taoism is also the original religion of China...
However, as mentioned earlier, although not all French people like China, China does not want to contradict France. That's right, the mission of every traverser is usually the kind that changes his life against the sky, especially Yan Shao's mission is to change China's past destiny, and after breaking through many obstacles, including Britain and the United States, let China return to the top of the world.
But even having such a task on you is like playing a game. Yan Shao also has the right to choose a more reasonable and simpler path.
It's about making fewer enemies...
At present, four of the five great powers have deep contradictions with China, if you count France. Then the five great powers will become China's enemies.
If Yan Shao is still confident of winning the final victory by going to war with two or three of the five major powers at the same time, then confronting five countries at the same time, although it is not so completely unconfident. But even if you can win in the end, the whole road will probably be extremely bumpy, and it is even very likely that you will accidentally fall into the abyss...
And Yan Shao, as the leader of the entire country, obviously does not lead the country to challenge the difficulty of the abyss. It's about finding a way to achieve the goal while making the country complete a transcendence of itselfββββββ of course, the lower the difficulty, the better.
In the absence of masochistic tendencies. Yan Shao is naturally more inclined to the lower the difficulty, the better.
At the same time, if there is a way to pacify Soviet Russia, at least so that Soviet Russia cannot stab itself in the back, as long as France is appeased again, then at least for a period of time in the future. Even if China and Japan are at war at the same time, Britain and the United States are at war. It's just a pair of threes. The odds are still high...
ββββββββββββββββββββββββββ
Yan Shao's statement that he wanted to buy French Indochina from the French was definitely not a joke.
Of course, this purchase can also be seriously discussed, and it is not necessarily a non-real purchase, but also some interest exchanges. Basically, as long as French Indochina could be exchanged from the French, it would be a victory for the Nationalist government.
As for whether the follow-up will be annexation or allow the other party to be independent, Yan Shao is actually more inclined to be independent.
After all, even if you swallow the whole of French Indochina. I'm afraid I won't be able to get much benefit. At present, China can be called unprecedentedly large in terms of territory and population. So there is no need to covet the territory and population of the Vietnamese, as for the resources or anything. Yes, maybe Vietnam's resources are indeed relatively rich, but after having the cornucopia of Siberia, Yan Shao, Vietnam's resources are actually not much in his eyes.
Compared with the benefits that can be obtained from annexing Vietnam, Yan Shao may have a bigger headache than the possible resistance of the Vietnamese after the occupation of Vietnam. This is not surprising, after all, the Vietnamese character is already very rebellious, they have been resisting constantly when the French are there, and now they are unlikely to be treated differently by Chinese. Conversely, with the independence of French Indochina, at least three states could be born on Indochina, namely Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos.
Among them, Laos and Cambodia are not mentioned for the time being, at least Vietnam still has some potential. If the tuning is good, then at least when China and the European powers are at war, Vietnam will have some power to play out of it. It may even become a major force in the hands of China, as Thailand does.
Of course, before that, it is better to help the Vietnamese people to develop some things, such as military power and so on.
As for whether Vietnam will betray China after independence? This Yan Shao is not worried at all. Because there is no loyalty between countries in the first place, if you are strong enough, then even if you don't need it, there will be many people who will take the initiative to join in.
On the other hand, if you become weaker, then even the once loyal subordinates may abandon you.
Naturally, if it were just an individual, there might be so-called loyalty. After all, thousands of years of propaganda are not useless. But is there any loyalty to ββββββ between countries?
ββββββββββββββββββββββββββ
For Yan Shao, Vietnam is just a country with more useful value. And that's all, as for how to prevent the betrayal of Vietnam? The solution is also very simple, you just need to make your own strength strong to the point that the Vietnamese do not dare to betray.
Why did historical Vietnam become a white-eyed wolf? On the one hand, it was because China and the United States were in a honeymoon period at that time, which was naturally a big blow to the Vietnamese regime, which was mainly North Vietnam, and in order to deal with that sense of crisis, Vietnam would inevitably choose a new backer, for whom Soviet Russia was a very good backer, and a far stronger backer than China.
In this way, it is no wonder that the Vietnamese will blatantly betray China.
But in this era, Soviet Russia has basically been crippled, and even if it will rise one day in the future, unless it can regain Siberia or Central Asia from China, I am afraid that there will be no way to get involved in the Far East in this life.
As for the British and Americans? Both of these were the targets of Yan Shao's decision to expel him from Asia. After all, in Yan Shao's Asia strategy, the whole of Asia, at least the entire Far East, together with parts of the Middle East and the Near East, should be China's sphere of influence.
There should be no other country in this sphere of influence other than China and other Asian countries.
Because Asia is the Asia of the Chinese... (To be continued......)
