Chapter 665: Facts
Sitting in the car and looking at the night view outside the car window, Ho Chi Minh's heart seemed a little apprehensive. This is not surprising, after all, Ho Chi Minh is only 3o years old today, he is still very young, and he has not experienced too many things. Now that someone suddenly called out of the room in the middle of the night, it would be impossible to say that I was not scared at all...
Fortunately, at this time, the car started up, which attracted some of his attention.
It didn't take long for Ho Chi Minh to panic, because he suddenly realized that the direction of the car was not going towards the legation, but in another direction...
"Where are we going now?" Looking at the unfamiliar road outside, Ho Chi Minh said a little nervously.
Although he himself knew very well that he actually did not have anything worthy of Yan Shao's plans, even this could not alleviate the worry in his heart.
Looking back at Ho Chi Minh's worried expression, the man in the passenger seat smiled. "Don't worry, you'll find out later..."
As he spoke, he shifted his gaze back to the front, ignoring Ho Chi Minh.
As for Ho Chi Minh? If this kind of thing can make him feel at ease, it would be too outrageous. It's just that in the current situation, it seems impossible to get out of the car, and Ho Chi Minh can only force himself to calm down first, and then see for himself what they want to do.
"Anyway, I'm a bad life, even if I die, not many people may care..."After laughing at himself for a while, Ho Chi Minh finally calmed down a little.
I don't know how long it took, but the car finally slowed down and finally stopped in front of a building on the outskirts of Paris. When the car came to a steady stop on the steps of the building, the man in black sitting in the passenger seat glanced back at Ho Chi Minh and said with a smile. "Okay, the place is here, please get out of the car..."
Saying that, the man got out of the car with the man in black who was sitting in the driver's seat, and after hearing their words, Ho Chi Minh also pushed the car door open. Got out of the car.
What appeared in front of them in Ho Chi Minh was a two-story Western-style building, and the lights coming from it could be seen that there were still people moving inside, but it was just ......... It doesn't seem like much.
"Let's go, the president is already waiting for you inside...", one of them said, pushing Ho Chi Minh.
After being urged. Despite his helplessness, Ho Chi Minh complied with their wishes and walked towards the building. After walking up the steps, one of them knocked on the door, and soon the door was opened inside, and out of it came a young man in a black suit like them, who looked to be in his early 20s. There is a short hair, not very handsome, but very spiritual.
"You're finally here, the president has been waiting for a long time..."
As he spoke, he glanced at Ho Chi Minh, obviously recognizing him as the person Yan Shao had been waiting for.
"You are Mr. Nguyen Aiguo, the president has been waiting for a long time, please come with me..."
As he spoke, the man made a gesture of please. motioned for Ruan Aiguo to follow him in.
Glancing at the man, Ho Chi Minh nodded slightly. Although this building looks a little weird when such a black light is blinding, it looks like a haunted house more than a human house, but at the moment he doesn't have so many choices, and at this time, he has more or less believed in his heart that this is indeed the place where Yan Shao wants to meet him.
It's just that he doesn't understand a little ...
"What is there that must be said here and nowhere else?"
Thinking so in his heart, Ho Chi Minh followed the people who came to pick him up and kept walking upstairs.
Unlike the buildings he had seen in Paris in the past. The furnishings in this building are very simple, there are not so many decorations, and there are no oil paintings hanging on the walls, which is somewhat inconsistent with the French style, but Ho Chi Minh is not here to appreciate the decoration and layout, and even if there is, he is not in the mood now.
After coming to the second floor. Soon he was led to the door of a room.
After pushing the door open, Ho Chi Minh soon saw Yan Shao in the room.
The area of the room is not very large, but it is already much larger than the ordinary person's bedroom, you can see. This is a study, and at this moment, Yan Shao is sitting on a piece of sand, looking at the wine glass in his handββββββ naturally, the wine glass is still full of juice.
"You've arrived..." Seeing Ho Chi Minh, Yan Shao's face showed a more enthusiastic expression. Come on, take a seat. As he spoke, Yan Shao pointed to a piece of sand in front of him.
After Ho Chi Minh sat down on the sand opposite Yan Shao, Yan Shao crossed his legs and asked with a smile. "If you want to drink something, feel free..."
"Ahh No more, no more..."
At this moment, in front of Yan Shao, he was in the mood for nothing and nothing. Seeing him like this, Yan Shao was not reluctant, he just slowly enjoyed the fun in the cupββββββ he also liked to drink juice, and he was really not interested in anything else.
After a while, seeing that Yan Shao was studying fruit juice there, Ho Chi Minh first asked a little breathlessly.
"Mr. President, I don't know what you called me for..."
Seeing that Ho Chi Minh finally couldn't hold his breath, Yan Shao smiled slightly in his heart. Although his personality makes him not like to sell off, he also knows very well that in many cases, whoever takes the initiative first will fall into disadvantage.
He didn't really understand the reasoning, but it was a lot of the time, and even he liked to do itββββββ especially when he was in a dominant position.
"Didn't you ask me during the day today what the price would be for Vietnam if our country helped Vietnam become independent?"
"That's right." Hearing Yan Shao talk about this matter, Ho Chi Minh also became serious. Although he would have liked to have Chinese help to gain independence from French rule, Ho Chi Minh could hardly have peace of mind if he did not know what he would have to give.
It is precisely because of this that Ho Chi Minh thought of seeking Japan's help.
It's just that the variables of doing this are too great, and whether the Japanese will see him first is a question, and even if they see him, they will be moved by what he says, and it is difficult to say whether it will help him, after all, in Vietnam, it is not worth it for the workers to choose only Ho Chi Minh.
Again. Although the Japanese themselves seem to feel good, many countries see Japan as far weaker than China, both economically and militarily. This is especially important for people like Ho Chi Minh, after all, even if you just look at the territory or something, you can see a lot, not to mention...
Not so long ago. The Communist government also carried out a very bold military operation, cutting two-thirds of the territory from Russia in one fell swoop. No other country has been able to accomplish such a feat even in this eraββββββ although it has been so smooth only because Russia is mired in civil strife and is simply incapable of dealing with threats from outside.
All in all, in the territory that already occupies two-thirds of Russia. In addition, the Entente powers simply could not mobilize sufficient forces to solve this problem, and China was already the number one power in Asia. If China can be given more time to consolidate its rule in Siberia and Central Asia, it is definitely not impossible to climb to the level of Britain and the United States.
Obviously, such a country can provide much more help than Japan.
But none of that matters, what really matters...
Don't forget, relations between China and Japan are not very good. Ho Chi Minh could certainly find a way to get help from Japan, but what would China think if it found out? Will it break from it? Or is it a hostile attitude towards Vietnam?
If China is hostile to Vietnam because the new Vietnam has very good relations with Japan. Then it is very likely to cause a lot of trouble, and it is not impossible to even guide China to send troops to Vietnam, and in the face of such a behemoth as Chinaββββββ let alone such a big China now, even if it is so big, Ho Chi Minh does not have much confidence.
As for Japan?
Honestly, even if you add Japan. Ho Chi Minh didn't have much confidence.
So when he was in the car, Ho Chi Minh had already figured out that if he wanted independence, he could only choose to rely on himself or China, otherwise, no matter who he chose to ask for help, he would definitely not choose Japan...
ββββββββββββββββββββ
After a moment of silence, Ho Chi Minh looked up at Yan Shao. "That. I wonder what the price is for us? This is also what Ho Chi Minh is most concerned about.
After hearing Ho Chi Minh's words and smiling, Yan Shao did not answer his question directly, but took out a map from his side. A map from 1919.
"Before we talk about that, let's take a look at this map..."
Saying that, Yan Shao himself also looked at the map above, the reason why he just said that it was a map of 1919, not before the war, was because the content on the map was purely in accordance with some requirements of the Paris Peace Conference.
According to the latest content of the Peace Conference, Germany, Austria-Hungary and Ottoman Turkey, as the main forces of the Central Powers, will lose large areas of territory, and the map is drawn according to the latest progress of the Peace Conference.
In addition to this, there are a series of Chinese advances in the Middle East, as well as in Siberia and Central Asia, and as for the western part of Russia, that is, the eastern part of Europe, Eastern Europe, which has been painted in red in advanceββββββ and not long ago, some news came that Soviet Russia has successfully thwarted another siege by the coalition forces.
Although the war against Soviet Russia has not ended so far, Yan Shao is already convinced that Soviet Russia can survive this war...
Of course, what Yan Shao wanted Ho Chi Minh to see was not these, but the distribution map of Asia.
Unlike Europe, Asia, well, to be exact, the Far East has not changed very much. The colonies of Britain and France remained the same, and only those colonies that originally belonged to Germany really changed. Nowadays, almost all of those colonies belong to Japan, and as for anything else...
"I'm sure you've seen it too...", pointing to Southeast Asia, where the large colonies belonged either to Britain, France, the Netherlands, or the United States, and only a small part was taken from Germany by Japan, or the most corner of the country...
"At the moment, in the world, white people are in charge, and we yellow people, not to mention Asia, even in such a place as the Far East, cannot fully control it, and it can even be said that we have been bullied to the doorstep. Luckily. The 'collective suicide' of the European colonizers had just taken a toll on the imperialist powers, and at the same time forced them to slow down the pace of colonization for the time being, but even so, in the overall sense, the white man still held the dominant power in the world, and with the defeat of the Central Powers, there were far fewer internal contradictions. It will also allow them to spare more energy to deal with the outside worldββββββ except for Soviet Russia..."
As he spoke, Yan Shao looked up at Ho Chi Minh, who was looking attentively. "The problem now is that we yellows have to unite, otherwise we won't be able to fight the whites at all, and that's the price I need you to pay..."
"You mean?" Looking at Yan Shao, Ho Chi Minh seemed to understand what he meant.
"It's simple. We will help Vietnam to gain independence against France, provided that, after independence, Vietnam will join an alliance led by us and provide one or more places as military bases for our use..."
"A military base?" Ho Chi Minh didn't feel anything about that alliance or something. But that military base is some...
"Military bases." Yan Shao nodded and said, this is a question that cannot be backed down. "In order to resist the encroachment of the white state, we have to build a sphere of influence, and as the most powerful country in the Allies, we also need the Allies to provide some places to stand on to ensure the security of the Alliance, including, of course, Vietnam." Saying that, Yan Shao glanced at Ho Chi Minh. "One thing can be reassured. These military bases are definitely not concessions, nor are they colonies, they are just places where the army is stationed..."
In Yan Shao's strategy, after integrating all the countries that can be integrated, Yan Shao will establish many military bases in these allied countries as a defensive ring (encirclement) against or blockade of the hostile countries.
Of course, it's not just that. If one of the Allied Powers intends to betray the Alliance, it is also the responsibility of the troops stationed at the base to 'resolve' the betrayal...
Tong guΓ² force...
This is also a necessary thing, after all, the name of the 'white-eyed wolf' in Vietnam in later generations is too big. And Yan Shao didn't dare to guarantee that there would not be more white-eyed wolves.
Naturally, the large number of military bases must be a financial burden, so in Yan Shao's plan, the daily start of these military bases will be the responsibility of the host country. It's like Japan and the United States in later generations, but Yan Shao doesn't plan to talk to Ho Chi Minh about this.
ββββββββββββββββββββ
Seeing that Ho Chi Minh's face was a little ugly, Yan Shao smiled and persuaded him. "Naturally, there are some advantages to this, for example, you don't have to worry about security, since our country has placed a military base in your country, then the military security will naturally be borne by our country, and at the same time, as one of the members of the alliance, in addition to undertaking some obligations, such as economic or military aspects, you will also get a lot of benefits, in my plan, after the alliance is established, our country will set up a bank in the alliance, and provide a fund, If your country also becomes an ally of our country, then you can also receive assistance, and this is very beneficial compared to the exhibition of your country..."
After speaking, Yan Shao was a little eager, to be precise, he glanced at Ho Chi Minh with some threat.
If Ho Chi Minh agreed, then everyone would be happy, if he didn't agree, then Yan Shao could only find a way to get rid of him, and then choose a new candidateββββββ Yan Shao would not leave a competitor for the candidate he selected in Vietnam.
ββββββββββββββββββββ
Looking at Yan Shao's appearance, Ho Chi Minh also understood that this was something that had to be agreed, fortunately, this was much stronger than the series of harsh conditions that Ho Chi Minh had in mind. However, after thinking about it carefully, Ho Chi Minh couldn't help but speak.
"There won't be any other conditions, for example, some treaties in the economy or in other areas." Speaking of Ho Chi Minh, he said some of the same conditions as the 21st in history.
Hearing Ho Chi Minh say this, Yan Shao couldn't help but laugh. "As I said, my purpose is to unite all the yellow races and fight against the threat of the white people, as for anything else, as long as your country can allow our enterprises to enter your country to compete normally, the rest is completely unnecessary, like what kind of priority, it is completely unnecessaryββββββ of course, the premise is that your country must be fair, and treat our country and your enterprises equally, and I have no other requirements..."
"So, what about Japan? Since your country intends to unite all the yellow countries, Japan should be one of them, after all, Japan can be said to be the strongest yellow country besides yours, and Japan's strength should be indispensable to Mr. President's plan..."
"That's true." Yan Shao nodded. "But Japan is a dead-eyed country, so before uniting Japan, we must first let them understand the situation, that is, within this alliance, which country is dominant..."
After speaking, Yan Shao looked at Ho Chi Minh, who seemed to be a little surprised. "I don't know much about diplomatic rhetoric, I can only state some facts, China is a big country, other countries are small countries, this is the fact, so this alliance can only be led by China, and it must be led by China..."
