When Qin Zhiyuan received Greif's telegram, it was already the next morning.
This telegram was first sent to the Cam Ranh Bay Fleet off Bangkok, then to Greif's Marine Corps Provisional Command in Kampong Som Port, then to Cam Ranh Bay, and finally to Saigon and sent to Chin Ranh Bay.
In Zhiyuan's hands.
Speaking of which, we have traveled a lot in circles, but there is nothing we can do about it. Lanfang's military system has not yet reached the level where the frontline troops can reach Tianting directly. This still requires more efforts from Girardine and the others.
After reading the telegram, Qin Zhiyuan handed it to Liotai who came to eat.
When Qin Zhiyuan arrived in Saigon, he was accompanied by the royal chef from the Lan Fang Palace. Lyautey tasted the delicacies of Lan Fang once in Qin Zhiyuan's temporary palace, and then he came here to eat every day without looking like a governor.
It finally came. Lyotai was not surprised. He glanced at it and threw it on the table.
In Qin Zhiyuan and Lyotai's predictions, the British would appear sooner or later. These peach-picking people would definitely not let Lan Fang and France carve up Siam. The British even reacted faster than Qin Zhiyuan and Lyotai.
It is expected to be a little slower.
It's a pity. I originally wanted to order the troops to capture Chiang Mai. Qin Zhiyuan is still a little regretful. In fact, the young men of the Marine Corps have overfulfilled their tasks.
Even if it is captured, it cannot be defended. Lyotai is not sorry. His troops have just captured Khon Kaen. Although they have not overfulfilled their mission, they have not fallen behind on schedule. Considering that Lyotai's army has not been strictly trained, this is a good move.
the result of.
Chiang Mai is indeed a good place, with a lot of fertile land and a large number of Chinese people. Unfortunately, Chiang Mai is too close to Myanmar, and it is the British sphere of influence. Qin Zhiyuan is a bit too greedy to take over Chiang Mai.
.
It's one thing to be able to win it, but it's another thing to be able to keep it in the post-war distribution of interests. If the British want to interfere, Chiang Mai is the best choice, so this is why Lyotey said it couldn't be defended.
Impossible. As long as it can be captured, it can be defended. Give it to the British if they want it. Sarawak is the best example. Qin Zhiyuan disagrees with Lyotey's words.
Sarawak is now actually independent. Although the British do not recognize it, Lanfang admits it, and France also recognizes it. This is enough to maintain Sarawak's independent status. Qin Zhiyuan is not taboo about mentioning Sarawak now, especially in Leo
Thai here.
Haha, I must be careful not to let your people infiltrate French Indochina. Lyautey likes to see the British eating deflated Hayworth, and he will definitely be more vigilant.
Qin Zhiyuan's way of eating is unscrupulous. Although Lanfang and France have a good relationship now, Lyautey is not sure whether Qin Zhiyuan will pay attention to French Indochina. If Qin Zhiyuan really wants to do something
What, Lyotey thought he couldn't resist, so it was better to do the job well in advance.
Qin Zhiyuan was very dissatisfied. Is my credibility so bad?
It's not that it's bad, it's that it's not there at all. Lyautey doesn't give him any face.
Now that the British have come forward, when do you plan to go back to Liotai? You are casually concerned about Qin Zhiyuan's schedule.
Soon, Mr. Prime Minister hates the British's stalking, so I have to go back and clean up the mess. Qin Zhiyuan also knows that he can't be so selfish.
Qin Zhiyuan had already expected that the British would come forward, so as soon as Lan Fang started to attack Siam, Qin Zhiyuan hid in Saigon to clean up, and left the British to Lu Zhengxiang to deal with. Lu Zhengxiang did not have time to listen to Owen Jonah talking about this matter.
He also gave Owen Jonah back to Zhang Jingzong. Zhang Jingzong was also very annoyed, but because he couldn't afford to offend Qin Zhiyuan and Lu Zhengxiang, he reluctantly accepted the offer.
It's time to wrap things up, things on the battlefield have come to an end, and it's time for diplomats to intervene.
With this understanding, Qin Zhiyuan did not hesitate and left Saigon to return to Lan Fang that day.
Your Majesty, the behavior of the Lanfang army has offended the interests of the British Empire in my eyes. This is disrespect for our great King. Therefore, the Lanfang army must stop its actions and retreat to the position before December 24th to see Qin.
Zhiyuan, Owen Jonah is still the same.
Stop talking nonsense and tell me what you want. Qin Zhiyuan was not polite and directly interrupted Owen Jonah's long speech.
Er, Owen Jonah was obviously choked badly, and it took him a long time to react: the current areas under our control, and all of the Malay Peninsula.
The British made a good calculation. If Qin Zhiyuan agreed to the British terms, the British would be able to connect the territories of British Malaya and Indochina. This is undoubtedly great news for the British.
After losing the Sarawak area, only a part of British Malaya was left. This part was not easy to manage, because during the independence of Sarawak, many of Sarawak's upper class people fled to the Malay Peninsula.
These people are supporters of the British, and the British need to appease them. At the same time, due to the importation of foreign populations, the original vested interests in the Malayan Peninsula are very dissatisfied. Their interests have been shared, so recently the Malayan Peninsula
The peninsula is not peaceful, and the British still have a lot of work to do.
Don't even think about it. If that happens, how much Lanfang's military expenditure will we have left to make up for Qin Zhiyuan's unthinking refusal?
Just kidding, Qin Zhiyuan also wants to plot the entire Malay Peninsula. If the British really control the Malay Peninsula, then Lanfang's work will really be in vain.
We can pay part of the funds as the cost of purchasing the above area. Owen Jonah proposed a compensation plan.
Spending money to buy territory is not without precedent. The largest territorial transaction occurred between the Americans and the former Russia. It seems that the British regarded Lan Fang as a fool.
Of course, it is estimated that the price offered by the British will be higher than that of the Americans. Qin Zhiyuan's understanding of the British is probably not much higher.
So Qin Zhiyuan used his own methods as a person: If I say I want to buy British Malaya, is it possible?
If you capture the Malay Peninsula, you will have the Strait of Malacca, and then the entire Southeast Asia will be the inland sea of Lan Fang.
Your Majesty, this is not funny. Owen Jonah was embarrassed because he obviously did not expect Qin Zhiyuan to have such a big appetite.
I'm not kidding, I'm serious. Qin Zhiyuan is serious.
That's never possible, you know, if I agreed to the deal I didn't have that authority. Owen Jonah sternly refused.
Well, you should know that the most feasible plan now is to maintain the status quo. Qin Zhiyuan no longer has extravagant hopes and proposes an optimal distribution plan.
distribute
Lan Fang indeed has the potential to become an imperialist.
