The international community was shaken instantly. Singapore changed hands. This happened so suddenly that no one expected it, and a war of words ensued.
After Wu Siguo convened a press conference to announce the independence of Singapore and the establishment of the Republic of Singapore, the United Kingdom also jumped out immediately.
"...This is an invasion, a provocation, and a declaration of war against our British Empire. We strongly condemn the Chinese people's barbaric aggression and strongly demand that the Chinese government be responsible for this..."
The representative of the British government immediately responded with a speech. First, he spoke eloquently and impassionedly about Wumen's crimes, such as barbaric aggression, violations of international humanitarian laws, etc. In short, he accused Wumen of being a barbaric invader.
He wanted to take the lead in name and justice, and at the end of his speech, he directly accused the Aite National Government and demanded an explanation.
In the residence of the Commander-in-Chief in Peiping, watching the speeches of the British, Old Chiang Kai-shek almost ran out of breath and yelled, "You are really just sitting at home, the pot comes from the sky, you British people have been attacked by Wumen, what do you care about me, Old Chiang Kai-shek?"
I am responsible for everything brewed by Qian Lin. Your British Concession was bombed by Wumen, so I am responsible. You British were killed by Wumen, so I am responsible...I am responsible for everything, brewed by Qian Lin!
Commander-in-chief Chiang really felt that he was angry and aggrieved, but there was nothing he could do about it. The government is weak and people take advantage of everything. What can you do?
Fortunately, Lao Jiang has already had experience with this kind of thing. Just say one word and pretend it's over. Whatever you say, I don't know, I don't understand anything, and it has nothing to do with me!
On the Chinese side, under Chiang Kai-shek's order, the Nationalist Government directly chose to remain silent, keeping silent and acting as if it didn't know anything.
However, in the international arena, the situation has become more and more intense. After the British first stood up and spoke, Western countries such as France, the United States, Russia, and Italy also stood up and spoke.
The stance was unprecedentedly unified. They were all on the side of the United Kingdom. They strongly condemned Wumen's occupation of Singapore. They unanimously determined that this was a barbaric and bloody act of aggression and banditry, and they resolutely refused to recognize Singapore's independence.
Later, Japan also stood up and united with Western countries.
After all, at this time, both the Western powers and Japan regard China as a target of aggression, but they do not want China to become stronger, and they definitely do not want two Chinese countries to emerge. Once Singapore becomes independent and becomes the third
Two countries ruled by Chinese are detrimental to the interests of either country. No one wants to see this.
However, in the face of unanimous condemnation from many countries in the world, Wumen expressed that it did not care at all. If you condemn it, we will also fight back. Wu Siguo still based his theory that Xingjiapo has been a place in China since the time of the First Emperor. On the one hand, he promoted the new
Giapo has been a land of China since ancient times. On the other hand, various countries have strongly condemned the British colonial invasion of Singapore for more than a hundred years and are talking against each other.
However, the media criticized each other, but after capturing Singapore, Wumen never stopped for a day, busy with various governance and management tasks in Singapore.
There is a saying that it is easy to conquer a country, but difficult to manage it. This is true. Fortunately, Singapore is not big, and its population is less than one million in this era. It is not too much, and the management project is not big.
In the early stages of construction, Lin Tianqi also stayed in Singapore to stabilize the situation and help guide the overall management and construction work.
Although Lin Tianqi is not a politician and has no political talent, he was a college student in his last life. He also studied history and politics in college. He cannot do it in detail, but there is nothing wrong with putting forward some constructive opinions based on the memory and experience of later generations.
Yes, and with his good opinions from later generations, it will naturally be smoother if the people below can implement them.
After three days of busy work, the entire government organization has been basically completed, and the entire management work in Singapore has barely entered the formal stage.
At this time, the British finally responded!
"President, British news, Britain has announced internationally that it will send the Royal Navy to form an expeditionary fleet to retake Singapore."
In the morning, in the government building and the presidential office, Wu Siguo, dressed in a straight black suit, opened the door and walked in and said to Lin Tianqi.
"Uncle Wu, you'd better call me Tianqi, so you can get used to it."
Looking at Wu Siguo walking in, Lin Tianqi smiled and said, although he has been in the position of president for a few days, it is still a bit awkward to hear people call him President Lin Tianqi.
"This is not okay. You are now the president of the country, the leader of a country, representing the entire country..."
Wu Siguo is a serious man.
Lin Tianqi could only smile and say no more. Let the president be the president. Anyway, it sounded quite high-level.
"The British are so high-profile this time, announcing in front of the entire world that they will send the Royal Navy to form an expeditionary fleet to deal with us. It seems that they are trying to establish their power against us."
Wu Siguo also nodded immediately.
"I'm afraid it should be like this. Since World War I, Britain's status as a hegemon that never sets on the sun has gradually lost its majesty. If things go on like this, Britain's majesty as a hegemon will slowly lose. The British will definitely be aware of this, so this
Dealing with us once, for them, in addition to taking back Singapore, is also an opportunity to establish their prestige. I am afraid the British also want to use this to establish their prestige."
After saying that, Wu Siguo looked at Lin Tianqi again. He knew clearly in his heart that based on their current situation, although they had captured Singapore, in terms of military, they did not even have a regular army. The strength of the army could not be called a mess.
If he wants to resist the British expeditionary fleet, his hope will definitely fall on Lin Tianqi.
Lin Tianqi naturally knew Wu Siguo's thoughts, and he immediately responded when he felt Wu Siguo's gaze.
"Leave this matter to me. Uncle Wu, just send someone to keep an eye on the news about the British fleet. I will make it impossible for them to pass Malacca."
"With your words, I feel relieved."
Wu Siguo breathed a sigh of relief.
"Then I will convene the media to give a speech later to stabilize people's hearts. Although Singapore has been won, people's hearts are not stable enough. Our government's prestige is not enough. The people lack confidence in us. If we do this
If we can directly defeat the British fleet for the first time, it will be a very helpful opportunity for us to establish the government's prestige and win over people's hearts."
Lin Tianqi nodded immediately, naturally knowing this in his heart. Although they have captured Singapore now, the government has just been established and still lacks the prestige to convince the people. At this time, it is urgently needed for the government to show its strength and show its strength.
The performance can convince the people of the strength of protecting the country, and only in this way can the people be convinced and return to their heart.
"In that case, Uncle Wu, first let me train a navy as quickly as possible. When the British army comes, let our navy fight them openly and defeat the British navy head-on.
Build up confidence among the people. In addition, since we are building an army, military uniforms must also be completed. I will go back and let Qingqing's clothing factory handle this matter. The size of the navy will be temporarily organized to be 10,000."
Wu Siguo's expression paused when he heard this, but he immediately understood what Lin Tianqi meant. On the surface, he sent a navy to fight the British warships. When the actual attack was made, it must be Lin Tianqi's. But in this way, it can be publicized that the navy defeated the British warships.
Deceive the people to build up the government's prestige.
After all, Lin Tianqi's personal strength is difficult to publicize, and Lin Tianqi doesn't want to be exposed to the eyes of the world.
"Okay, I understand."
Wu Siguo nodded.
"Also, if the British fleet comes over, how long will it take?"
Lin Tianqi asked again.
"This is not certain, but even if the British warships set off now, it will take at least ten days to get here."
Wu Siguo thought for a while and said.
"Ten days? In that case, I will go to Guangzhou today and rush back within ten days. By the way, Qingqing's clothing factory will get the navy uniforms and the army uniforms together. The national flag will be decided before it is used.
, five-star moon flag, red background. If there is anything urgent, just send a telegram."
Lin Tianqi said again.
"good."
Wu Siguo nodded.
Immediately, Lin Tianqi called Li Musheng and Elder Wu again, and told them about his return to Guangzhou, and left Singapore directly at 10 noon.
Lin Tianqi was extremely fast. He set off at around 12 noon and returned to Guangzhou at around 8 pm. It only took seven or eight hours. This was without Lin Tianqi traveling at full speed. Otherwise, if he were traveling at full speed, it would be much worse than the direct flight in his previous life.
It may not be slow, and it will last longer than those fuel-burning planes.
"Brother Tian!"
"Lin Lang!"
"Brother Lin!"
.......
Sensing Lin Tianqi's return, the women immediately opened the door and walked out of the house happily.
