Chapter 6643: The Road

Just when Yan Shao and the others were still busy with the conflict with the Japanese, in the living room, as soon as they saw Yan Shao and they went upstairs and didn't come down for a long time, Ho Chi Minh and the others seemed a little restless. Ho Chi Minh, in particular, was very wary of China, but even then he was well aware of one thing, that is, without China's help, it would be very difficult for Vietnam to become independent from French control.

After all, compared to France, Vietnam's strength is too weak. Even if France no longer has much strength after the First World War, it is still a behemoth compared to Vietnam, and without the help of external forces, unless France recognizes Vietnam's independence, Vietnam has no possibility and hope of independence at all.

In Yan Shao's history, Vietnam was officially independent after the end of World War II, but even so, after the end of World War II and Japan's surrender, the French still gave them a 'comeback', and finally the Vietnamese finally won their independent status after years of struggle.

But that was after World War II, when France's power had shrunk considerably, and its early surrender to the Axis powers had left France's overseas colonies in disarray. Even the homeland, which was originally relatively well preserved, was messed up when the Allies counterattacked.

Therefore, the Vietnamese were able to win their independent status after years of struggle.

However, although France has suffered heavy losses at present, it is only the northern territories that have been affected by the war. Most of the mainland and overseas colonies can be said to be undamaged, and although the local army suffered a lot of casualties, it is obvious that Vietnam is not as difficult to deal with as Germany, so it is not very difficult for France to solve the current Vietnam.

So at this time, China's help is crucial for Vietnam.

As one of the two most powerful countries in the Far East, even if it is still somewhat inferior to France in terms of industry and science and technology, China's comprehensive national strength has reached the point where it can be on par with Franceβ€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€” of course, many Chinese people are still a little weak about direct conflict with this old power. However, Yan Shao did not have any psychological obstacles.

After all, in Yan Shao's time, all the Chinese people thought about was countries like the United States and Russia, Britain? France? It is basically no longer in the consideration of Yan Shao and these people. After all, in addition to industrial and scientific capabilities, China is far stronger than France in terms of territory, population, and resources equal to war potential. Basically, as long as China's army doesn't collapse at the touch of a button like the army of the former Qing Dynasty, even if the equipment is worse than the French ** team, Yan Shao really can't think of any reason why China will lose...

So compared to others. Yan Shao's psychological advantage is really big.

Even after defeating Germany, Britain, which can already be called the world's first power, has nothing to be afraid of except for its huge navy.

And such a huge armament is obviously a pressure on finances, unless it is as vast as China. Outside of countries that need a large number of troops, few countries would continue to maintain such large armies. Especially after the First World War, Britain's finances are really difficult, so in Yan Shao's opinion, it won't be long before the British fleet will disintegrate on its own, but even if its navy is much stronger than China, there will not be such a big gap nowβ€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€” which is indeed the case. After the Washington Naval Treaty, the size of the British navy was quickly reduced, although it received much more tonnage than China, but considering its colonies all over the world...

This share is a bit insufficient...

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

It was precisely because they knew very well that Vietnam's power was still very weak compared to France, and if they wanted independence, they could only seek help from the outside, so after Wilson ran into a wall, Ho Chi Minh and others shifted their hopes to Yan Shaoβ€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€” even though Ho Chi Minh himself knew it well. In some ways, China is more dangerous than France.

And the courtesy that Yan Shao gave them made them very vigilant in their hearts, after all, there is no lunch in this world for nothing, just by the color of their skin, let a person of Yan Shao's status give them such courtesy, Ho Chi Minh has not yet reached this point.

It's just that...

Obviously, what Yan Shao said just now was that he would come down in a while, but now he has been up for more than two hours and there is no one, even Ho Chi Minh, who is vigilant in his heart. I'm a little nervous now.

If it weren't for the fact that in the past two hours, the embassy staff had always brought them some drinks or snacks or something, I'm afraid they would have thought that Yan Shao was planning to refuse them, but even so. They still looked a little restless.

"Chi Minh..."A short and thin young man sitting next to Ho Chi Minh moved his ass a little uneasily, leaned over to Ho Chi Minh's side and whispered. What the hell is going on, could it be that the Chinese want to refuse us, so they left us here for half a day and ignored it..."

"yes," he said, glancing at a few staff members standing not far away, and another whispered in Vietnamese. It's been more than two hours and there's still no one in sight, probably because of the eviction order in disguise......... Why don't we just say goodbye first? ”

There is no way, if the time is a little shorter, it will be forgotten, like more than ten minutes and half an hour, the problem is that now Yan Shao has been drying them for more than two hours at once, and seeing that the sky has gradually turned dark, who knows what Yan Shao means.

Some people have even speculated that this is a kind of eviction order from Yan Shao, but they didn't say it directly. In this case, it is better for them to take the initiative and wait for the embassy staff to kick them out, so as not to look ugly after they are really kicked out.

With these two people at the beginning, the others also whispered.

Fortunately, they also understand the importance of confidentiality, so they are just communicating in Vietnamese. Although the staff next to them were strange, they didn't know what they were talking aboutβ€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€” in fact, it was not only Ho Chi Minh City, but even the people in the embassy had some suspicions in their hearts that Yan Shao actually did not welcome them, and hanging them here was also a disguised eviction order.

It's just that...

"Probably not...", glancing at the Vietnamese who were still whispering over there, a staff member said strangely. The president is not such a person, if these Vietnamese people are not welcome, the president will definitely say it directly, or even let them in at all, and the president just now is very kind. Something must have happened..."

Hearing his words, several other staff members also nodded. It's just that what happened, they don't know at all, and it's not surprising, after all, the conflict between China and Japan on the border, Yan Shao's side has just received the news, how can they know about it.

I have to say. Yan Shao's image in the hearts of these people is still very good, although Yan Shao also has all kinds of shortcomings, such as being lustful, being cautious, well-mm, and so on. But they still respect Yan Shao very much, just like everyone else in the country...

So although they were a little puzzled, they were still looking for a reason for Yan Shao. As for Ho Chi Minh, they also have a natural affinity for Ho Chi Minh and his entourage, especially a few years ago, when China's situation was no different from Vietnam's...

Equally. With the strength of China's national power, these people also have a sense of responsibility in their hearts that they should liberate all the yellow countries and liberate them from the iron hooves of the Western colonizers. And imagine himself as the boss, the elder brother, the elder brother, and even the father of all the Far Eastern countries, the natural leader of all the Far Eastern countries...

The reason why Yan Shao's [Greater Far East Co-prosperity] plan can be relatively easily accepted in China is also because of this reason. In fact, the concept is not new at home, because as the country grows stronger, many people feel that China should use its influence to unite all the yellow countries. Fight against white aggression...

This is not only the Chinese, but also other peoples of the Far East, including the Japanese. Before the 'Sino-Japanese border conflict', there were even a few hard-line members of the Diet who led a delegation to Japan, intending to discuss this issue with the pro-China faction in Japan, that is, with China as the subject and Japan as the supplement. The alliance that united against the West and liberated all the colonized countries of the Far Eastβ€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€” it should be noted that the famous Japanese friend Miyazaki was also a supporter of this alliance.

Historically, Miyazaki was indeed thoroughly pro-China, as Miyazaki said in 1888 when he discussed it with his second brother. "The current world. It is a battlefield where the law of the jungle eats the strong. The strong are becoming more violent, and the rights and freedoms of the weak are being lost day by day. If there are people who value human rights and respect freedom, they must find ways to restore them. If we do not prevent it now, the yellow race will always be oppressed by the white race. And this turning point in fate is really related to the rise and fall of China. …… He decided to go deep into China in person, visit the heroes all over the world, and persuade them to work together to achieve great things. If you find a hero who governs the world, you will follow the work of dogs and horses, otherwise, you will stand up for yourself. …… Thinking deeply into the Chinese mainland, wholeheartedly thinking about the Chinese, thinking should be a hundred generations, and recruiting heroes to lay the foundation for upholding the will of heaven and establishing the right path. If China is revived and the righteousness of the world is declared, then India can prosper, Siam and Annam can rise up, and the Philippines and Egypt can be saved. Widely restore human rights and establish a new era on earth. ”

It can be seen that Miyazaki's title of 'friend of Japan' is really well-deserved. And it is precisely because there is such a type of people in Japan that there can be a certain amount of communication between China and Japan. Naturally, such people are undoubtedly in the minority in Japan, especially after the Battle of Shandong, when relations between China and Japan deteriorated ...

However, it is precisely because of the strength of the Chinese table in the Shandong Campaign and the later Western Front battlefield that many figures similar to Miyazaki have also emerged in Japan. The parties formed by these people in Japan already have a lot of power in Japan, and naturally, they are still very immature compared to the mainstream parties in Japan, but at least they are a good start...

I have to be thankful that Japan in this era is not as arrogant as it was more than a decade later, otherwise even if there are some characters similar to Miyazaki in Japan, I am afraid it will be useless...

On the other hand, due to Miyazaki's monstrous special achievements, Yan Shao even considered inviting him to China and awarding him a medal of 'International Friend'. Although the matter has not yet taken place, Miyazaki has already expressed his interest and excitement through diplomatic channels.

But...

This kind of eager and friendly exchange between the two sides also brought some side effects, which made Miyazaki a little sad. This side effect is that the Chinese Revolutionary Party, which is still entrenched in Japan.

If it is said that when he just withdrew from the Big 6, Sun Yat-sen could still rely on his past influence to make the Chinese Revolutionary Party a party with the scale of teaching aids. So to this day in 1919. With the increasing international status of China, the Chinese Revolutionary Party founded by Sun Yat-sen has become more and more unmarketable in Chinese society...

The pro-China political parties established by Miyazaki and other Japanese, as well as their close exchanges with the national government, made Sun Yat-sen threaten to 'cut off diplomatic relations'. Although Miyazaki attaches great importance to his friendship with Sun Yat-sen, his real dream is, after all, to unite all the yellow people against the white Westerners, and it is impossible for Sun Yat-sen to achieve his wish at present. Therefore, Miyazaki could only ignore Sun Yat-sen's threat and continue to communicate with Yan Shao's national government.

It's just that...

Although Miyazaki's party had a smooth exchange with Yan Shao's national government, he and Sun Yat-sen had been friends for many years after all, and now it is impossible for the two to 'cut off the relationship' and say that Miyazaki is not sad.

It's not that he didn't think about mediating the contradiction between Sun Yat-sen and Yan Shao, but after all, Sun Yat-sen was driven out of the big 6 by Yan Shao himself, and now Sun Yat-sen's downfall can be said to be caused by Yan Shao. What's more, Sun Yat-sen and Yan Shao still have the hatred of taking their wives, so after several fruitless attempts, Miyazaki had no choice but to give up...

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

Because Yan Shao didn't show up for a long time, everyone in the living room looked a little embarrassed, especially those staff members......... Although the Vietnamese were famous white-eyed wolves in later generations, they were not in this era after all. On the contrary, the same skin color also made everyone present feel a sense of intimacy from the heart...

Fortunately, it didn't take long. Yan Shao and Caterina walked upstairs together, and his appearance finally stopped all kinds of speculation and the embarrassing atmosphere in the living room.

Seeing that Yan Shao finally appeared in front of them, both Ho Chi Minh and others breathed a sigh of relief. And Katarina, who appeared in front of them with Yan Shao, made Ho Chi Minh and others shine even more, and there is a very amazing feeling.

Even from the perspective of Oriental aesthetics, Caterina can be described as a city and a country. A tall figure, extremely slender legs. Plus a plump figure and a stunningly beautiful look. With fiery red waist-length hair and a black off-the-shoulder evening dress, if she appears at any cocktail party, I am afraid that the eyes of the audience will fall on herβ€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€” of course, this is indeed the case.

Although the ten-centimeter-long scar on the left side of the face is a little embarrassing for those who see it, regretting why such a trace appears on such a beautiful appearance, but after matching the wild temperament of Katarina, it will make people have a strange charm...

And on Katerina. It is precisely this temperament that is the most attractive, after all, there is nothing more interesting in this world than taming a wild horse...

However, Ho Chi Minh and the others just glanced at Katarina, and quickly turned their attention away, even if there were a few reluctant ones. He also quickly lowered his head under the reminder of his companionβ€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€” in the West may not be anything, but in the East, it is very impolite to stare at someone's wife, and it is easy to arouse the anger of his wife and husband.

On the one hand, they are too much worse than Yan Shao, as long as they want to, Yan Shao can pinch them to death at any time, just like pinching an ant to death, on the other hand, it is because they have a request for Yan Shao now, if they provoke Yan Shao now, their task can be regarded as a failure...

So when facing Yan Shao and Katarina, Ho Chi Minh and the others suddenly became cautious.

But apart from looking, they didn't have any other thoughts, for no other reason, the height difference between them was too big. The height of the Vietnamese is not very high, and Katarina, with a tall figure of 178 plus a pair of high heels, is already about the same height as Yan Shao at 183cm, and it can even be said that she is taller than most men in this world.

In front of such a 'giantess', Ho Chi Minh and they are really under pressure...

As for Yan Shao...

"Come, let's all sit down..."Smiling at Ho Chi Minh and the others, Yan Shao motioned to Ho Chi Minh, who had just stood up, for them to sit down first, and then continued. I'm sorry, but I just came from China and I need to take care of some things, so I made you wait a little longer..."

"Where, where..."

It's a long wait, indeed. It was really rude for Ho Chi Minh to wait for more than two hours, but now when they have a request, where do they dare to directly say the complaints in their hearts, so they hurriedly said that it was nothing...

Instead of taking her seat, Caterina went to a room next to the drawing-room, took two glasses from them, and poured some of them into her own. After pouring some juice into Yan Shao's cup, Caterina handed the cup full of juice to Yan Shao.

"Here you go...", then he got some ice cubes and put them inside, and then sat down next to Yan Shao, ignoring Ho Chi Minh and the others who were sitting opposite him.

Ho Chi Minh of course they know Katarina, after all, as Yan Shao's wife, she also has a beautiful appearance that is rare in this world. Katerina's exposure is not insignificant. What's more, she is also the director of the department of the Secret Service, according to the evaluation of [Time Magazine], she can at least enter the top five positions among the most powerful women in the world, which is enough to be compared with the queens of some European countries.

If one day China has a national strength comparable to that of Britain, maybe she can even reach the level of the Queen of Englandβ€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€” of course, Britain in this era does not have a queen.

However, it is precisely because of this that Ho Chi Minh and others have some difficulty understanding Katarina's actions.

On the other hand. Taking the wine glass from Katarina's hand, Yan Shao smiled at Ho Chi Minh and the others. "I'm sorry, that's how her personality is..."

Hearing Yan Shao say this, although there was a relieved expression on his face, Ho Chi Minh and the others still felt a little awkward. Fortunately, the two sides soon got down to business.

"I already know your requirements...", he groaned for a while, and said with a straight face. Now the question is how you intend to fight for independence..."

"Thisβ€”" Hearing Yan Shao say this, several of Ho Chi Minh's companions looked at each other. Some didn't quite know what Yan Shao's words meant. On the contrary, Ho Chi Minh himself seemed to understand something, and after a little silence, he asked. "What do you mean?"

"Now if you want to gain independence, there are only two ways to go, one is peaceful independence, and the other is armed independence," he said, patting Caterina on her bare shoulder. Yan Shao stood up from the sand, still holding the wine glass that Caterina had just handed to Yan Shao, and inside the wine glass, there were several square ice cubes. It was swaying gently in the red juice, and from time to time it collided with the glass glass, making a soft clanging sound.

"Peaceful independence, it is not difficult to understand, is to obtain independence through more peaceful means, and I believe that you have come for such a purpose this time. But to tell you the truth, this road is not easy to follow, because if you choose this path, the decision is equivalent to in the hands of the French, if the French are not willing to give you independence, then even if you fight for a hundred years, you may not be able to fight for independence..."Speaking of this, after a little silence, Yan Shao expressed his judgment. "To be honest, a hundred years may be an exaggeration, but thirty or fifty years should still exist..."

After all, it's already 1919, and in another 5o years, it will be about 197o, which happens to be the period of time when the wave of colonial independence has passed. Historically, even if Vietnam had not engaged in armed struggle, it would have become independent between 195o and 6o, so Yan Shao felt that his guess was still relatively correct.

In fact, Algeria, which was more important to France, became independent in the 6o yearsβ€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€” of course, after years of armed struggle by the Algerians.
