In fact, Kampong Som Bay really doesn’t have much ancillary value. This bay is indeed good as a tourist attraction, but other than that there is really nothing special about it.
Lyotai was bitten by a snake once and was afraid of well ropes for ten years, so he speculated on Qin Zhiyuan like this.
Of course Qin Zhiyuan didn't care. If he didn't want to borrow it, he wouldn't. There were so many islands in Lanfang that it wouldn't be too much trouble to find one at random and use it as a base for the Marine Corps.
Although there was no need to talk about this matter, something Liotai said immediately aroused Qin Zhiyuan's vigilance.
Yesterday, Earl Sam Brontë came to me and wanted to negotiate an agreement with France, Lanfang and the United States regarding regional stability in Southeast Asia. I guess he should have also sent you a note. Are you interested? Lyautey seemingly casually asked.
Why not? If we can maintain stability in Southeast Asia, we don't mind making a commitment. Of course, it must be under the premise that Lan Fang's interests are not endangered. Qin Zhiyuan is indispensable.
Earl Sam Brontë, this is the new Governor of British Malaya. The previous Governor resigned sadly because he lost the Sarawak region.
The Earl of Sam Brontë was quite ambitious and took frequent actions when he took office. He first strengthened the strength of the British colonial army in Malaya and expanded the strength of the British Malaya region. Then he sought to strengthen the alliance with Lanfang and Lanfang.
The French relationship may, in the view of the count, be an important means of maintaining regional stability this time.
Currently in Southeast Asia, with Siam being carved up, there is no independent country except Lanfang. Therefore, if Lanfang wants to continue its expansion trend, it must target the United Kingdom and the United States. This is
Something that both British and Americans are very worried about.
Therefore, the British want to obtain a guarantee that British interests will not be infringed. Although this has no practical significance, it can always give people some psychological comfort.
Of course not, who can harm Lan Fang's interests? In this land, you Lan Fang is the troublemaker now. Lyautey is not without malice, and what he said is a bit close to slander.
Please pay attention to your wording. Qin Zhiyuan was immediately dissatisfied.
Haha, even if I chose my words incorrectly, you would not send troops to attack Saigon, but the British are different. I think this count is very afraid. Lyautey does not take it seriously and has no intention of restraining himself.
The relationship between Lanfang and France will indeed not break up because of a word. The personal relationship between Qin Zhiyuan and Lyautey is also good, and the two will not fall out because of a word. But the British are different. Lanfang's military department has deduced that
In Southeast Asia, Lan Fang is not afraid of the British. The British military department must have conducted deductions. Of course, because the channels for obtaining information are different, the results of the deductions may be different, but it will not be too big. The British understand their advantages.
Where.
In this case, why don't we hold the meeting next year in Lanfang? Yecheng, Surabaya, or Lanling are the same. Qin Zhiyuan suddenly had a whim.
Because of the existence of the Chinese Exclusion Act, Qin Zhiyuan once said that if Americans do not abolish it, Qin Zhiyuan will never go to the United States in his life. So if nothing happens, Qin Zhiyuan will not appear in Washington next year.
Now because of Count Sam Bronte's suggestion, Qin Zhiyuan has a good opportunity to hold this meeting in Lanfang. Anyway, if the United Kingdom, France, and the United States all participate in Lanfang, Italy will be missing. It is just a matter of invitation letter.
.
Lanling is really a place that makes people forget to leave. Lyautey couldn't help but sigh.
Everyone who has been to Lanling Island will be conquered by the sunshine and beaches there. Not to mention that Lanling Island also has casinos and nightclubs. It is also the world's first-class shopping destination. Everyone can enjoy it on Lanling Island. Everyone gets what they need, which makes Lanling Island now a paradise that wealthy people all over the world yearn for.
As the governor of French Indochina, Lyautey must have been to Lanling Island. It must be said that if he didn't have enough money in his pocket, Lyautey would move his office to Lanling Island.
So you agree with Qin Zhiyuan to strike while the iron is hot.
Why not? Anyway, I don't have a chance. At least on Lanling Island, I can join in the fun. Lyote's starting point is not very righteous.
As the Governor of French Indochina, if the meeting was held in Washington, Lyautey would definitely not have the chance to attend, but if it were held on Lanling Island, then Lyautey could still join in the fun, at least Lyautey You can visit Lanling Island under the guise of observing a conference.
It was decided. Qin Zhiyuan immediately called Heiman and asked him to find Lu Zhengxiang.
Convening an international conference on Lanling Island is very beneficial, whether it is to increase the visibility of Lanling Island or to improve Lanfang's international status.
Although Lanfang is now quasi-imperialist and its strength has reached a certain level, there are still many people in Europe and America who do not have a correct understanding of Lanfang. In the minds of those people, Lanfang is still an ignorant and backward Eastern country. Perhaps because of the vilification in some media, Lanfang is even more aggressive, and is probably associated with terms such as brutality and barbarism.
Holding a meeting on Lanling Island will definitely attract global media coverage. This is a good opportunity for Lanfang to establish a new image, which cannot be achieved by relying on daily news alone.
It is true that the Daily News has many branches, but in the minds of many people, the Daily News is now the official media of Lanfang, so the reports on the Daily News are not trustworthy.
After understanding Qin Zhiyuan's thoughts, Lu Zhengxiang took action immediately.
In fact, this matter is not troublesome to operate. Lan Fang only needs to notify the foreign ministries of various countries and let them choose. Of course, the excuse is not to curb the arms race, but to deal with post-war affairs in Siam. For this reason, the new US President Harding will not be unable to step down.
After receiving Lanfang's proposal, the British responded fastest and said they would organize a delegation to Lanfang as quickly as possible. The Americans responded equally quickly and would organize a delegation to participate as soon as possible. Only the French responded very strangely. , it took a full week before the French expressed their willingness to participate.
When something goes wrong, it becomes a monster. The French people's reaction was so slow. Maybe they had something in mind.
Qin Zhiyuan also had people in the French political arena. It didn't take much effort for Qin Zhiyuan to get information: A group of people in the French Congress were reconsidering their relationship with Lan Fang.
In other words, there are doubts about whether the alliance between Lanfang and France is necessary to continue to exist.
