Expedition to Europe

Regarding the relationship between Lanfang and the United Kingdom, Lanfang's staff has long concluded that one day in the future, there will be a battle between Lanfang and the United Kingdom.

This is inevitable when Lanfang's national power has developed to a certain extent. The British now occupy too many colonies, which has seriously damaged the interests of all countries in the world. If Britain were a country with a vast territory and a large population like the Republic of China and the United States, it would still be possible. It’s easy to say, but there are only so many places in the British Isles. A few people, but owning such a huge colony, is like a middle-aged man holding a golden doll. He may still have some strength now and can scare those half-grown children who have not grown up, but if Middle-aged people become old men, and half-grown children become young people. Then young people will definitely challenge the old men.

Lanfang's development has almost reached its extreme in East and Southeast Asia. If Lanfang wants to continue to maintain its expansion momentum, it must either challenge the British or the Americans.

Comparing the United Kingdom and the United States, no matter how you look at it, the United Kingdom is easier to deal with.

Although Britain still has the largest fleet in the world, with the endless emergence of new tactics and weapons, those once-incomparable battleships are already a thing of the past.

It's a pity that the British have not realized this yet.

Everything Qin Zhiyuan is doing now is to prepare for the future war with the British.

Therefore, Girardine's attitude was resolute: "We don't have fifty years, Your Majesty. If you want to prevent the Japanese from causing trouble when the war between us and the British is at its most intense, we must eliminate all hidden dangers now and make the Japanese If they cannot bear the price of betrayal, we must make them shudder at the consequences of betrayal, or let them not dare to think about it at all, so as to ensure that we have a stable internal environment.”

"What do you want to do?" Qin Zhiyuan was interested in Girardine's suggestion. To be honest, Qin Zhiyuan didn't care about the life and death of the Japanese. Even if all four Japanese islands disappeared, it would not have much impact on Lan Fang.

"Divide the Japanese. In addition to the naturalized Japanese, we must also divide the Japanese on the four islands of Japan. We must support those who may become our cooperation partners, and resolutely crack down on those potential dangers. . In fact, the two units currently formed by Japanese soldiers are very good. But they should not be used in Cam Ranh Bay, but in Japan itself. As long as these two troops submit certificates of surrender, it can at least ensure that these people cannot fight against us. Even if they want to, the Japanese will not accept them. "Ji. Lardine is indeed a genius. As long as she finds the right way to work, nothing can stop her.

The key is to have Qin Zhiyuan's trust, and there is no doubt that Qin Zhiyuan trusts Girardine.

So Qin Zhiyuan made up his mind: "Well, if you want, you can go to Japan now. I will give you the command of those two divisions. You can do whatever you want, and I will let Yang Kai cooperate with you."

Yang Kai is the current commander-in-chief of Lanfang in Japan. After Qin Zhiyuan took back the power of the governor-general, he made adjustments to the military chiefs in various places. Qin Haoge returned to the army and became the commander-in-chief of the Third Group Army stationed in the northern Xinjiang region. Yang Kai was also able to change his position. further.

Qin Zhiyuan's trust in Girardin can be said to be extremely high. Needless to say, how important the command power of the two divisions is. Qin Haoge's third group army only has five divisions, and Chen Kangjian's first group army only has six. division.

Hearing Qin Zhiyuan's arrangement, even Gao Hongshi shook his head slightly. In the evening, Julie's reaction would be more obvious.

"You really dote on her enough. Two divisions - complete command authority - do you believe that if you give Jiji some time, Jiji can double the number of troops for you? What will happen then? Appointment Gigi is the new commander-in-chief of the army?" Julie was not jealous, she was just worried about whether Geraldine could control such a great power.

Even geniuses may make a mess in areas they are unfamiliar with. This has been proven by countless examples. Julie does not deny Girardine's ability, but it is definitely not in the military aspect. In the military aspect, Julie, who was born as a general, has more say.

"Lily, you have to understand one thing. Even if Zyra creates an army, if I ask her to hand over her power, Zyra will not hesitate." Qin Zhiyuan chose to employ people without doubt.

"I'm not saying that Gigi will be greedy for power. What I want to tell you is that Gigi's current thinking is not stable enough. Gigi is just a child. Her worldview is in the process of being formed. If during this period of time, Gigi has There are too many things, which is not a good thing for Gigi. Think about the little one next to Gigi Girl, I know what happened to her. It’s really chilling. It’s hard to imagine that a teenager would do something like that and be used to it. Gigi is surrounded by such people now. Aren’t you worried? "Julie is talking about Lan Ziying, this little girl is really impressive.

"So Zyra needs more care from you and Misha in the future, to let Zyra know that there is still love in this world, and there is more than just killing and fighting." Qin Zhiyuan did not deny it.

Qin Zhiyuan still considered this issue. Living in this troubled world, no one can survive, and everyone will be forced into the whirlpool. If Qin Zhiyuan is willing, Qin Zhiyuan can indeed give Qin De, Girardine, Hyman and the others create a calm and waveless environment, but what about the future? Qin Zhiyuan cannot always protect Qin De and the others. There are always things that Qin De and the others need to face, whether proactively or passively.

"Let Gigi's mother Misha go to show her love. I won't join in the fun. This little guy always looks at me with his nose and eyes. You don't even say anything to control it--" Julie immediately started to act like a spoiled child, not caring that she was the one who raised the question.

Geraldine and Misha have a very good relationship. This started in the Corsica period. The Thunder Bluff Castle is full of memories of Geraldine and Misha. Misha is also one of the few people who can influence Geraldine. Julie is self-aware of this.

"Speaking of Misha, I suddenly remembered a problem. We can't let Jella and Qin Zhi have too much contact. Look at Qin De. He is so scared when he sees Jella now!" Qin Zhiyuan suddenly thought of the issue of family education.

Because Julie was too lazy, Qin De was basically brought up by Misha. Geraldine and Misha had a good relationship, so she met Qin De quite often. Perhaps Geraldine really had a motherly attachment to Misha, so she was a little rude to Qin De, the little guy who took away most of Misha's feelings. So Qin De was very honest when he saw Geraldine now, and even a little afraid, without any joy when facing other beautiful girls.

"So you sent Gigi to Japan?" Julie smiled a little ambiguously.

"What are you talking about? It has nothing to do with this." Qin Zhiyuan immediately denied it.

Yeah, it's time to hold hands next.

In October 1921, negotiations between Britain and the ten provinces in northern Siam were finally reached, and the Chiang Mai Agreement was successfully signed.

In view of the fierce resistance of the ten provinces in northern Siam to British rule, Britain recognized the autonomous status of the ten provinces of Siam and no longer sent civil officials and troops to the ten provinces of Siam; at the same time, the ten provinces of Siam would not appear as a country. The ten provinces of Siam established an autonomous committee, officially centered in Chiang Mai. The autonomous committee recognized Britain's "suzerain" status and guaranteed that it would not infiltrate neighboring Myanmar and would not be dependent on any other country. At this point, the war in northern Siam finally came to an end.

On the surface, the British still retained their dignity, but in fact everyone knew that the British had lost everything, which was equivalent to a complete defeat.

The mountainous areas in northern Siam helped the Autonomous Committee a lot. The British had difficulty using modern weapons in the mountains. Not to mention tanks, even small and medium-caliber artillery could not be sent into the mountains. They could only rely on mortars and other light weapons to clear out the rebels hiding in the mountains. This made the British, who were already accustomed to fire suppression, extremely anxious. Even if the British transferred a force composed entirely of British people from their homeland, they did not gain any advantage from the rebels. Because it was obvious that the rebels were also supported by certain countries. The rebels even had more mortars than the British, and they also had sufficient supplies, which made the British deeply feel the malice from all over the world.

When Charles Mangin, the French Governor-General of French Indochina, first took office, he had a honeymoon period with the British, so the British rejected the request for the first negotiation of the Ten Provinces of Siam. However, with the outbreak of the wars in Syria and Iraq, Charles Mangin's unpleasant memories with the British during the world war came to mind, and the only remaining tacit understanding between Britain and France suddenly disappeared, and then Britain began to retreat.

In the process of the British retreat, the role of Lan Fang is of course needless to say, and even the Americans intervened.

After the World War, the United States, as the world's factory in the World War, stockpiled more military supplies than Britain and France. These military supplies must find a market, and they can't just be piled up in the warehouse to mold. Even if President Harding and the British have an agreement, it can't stop the speculative behavior of those capitalists.

Speaking of the American president, it's a joke. Everyone knows that he is just a puppet. Although the American president is nominally the head of state, in fact, the power of the American president is not as good as that of the Prime Minister of Lan Fang.

At least Lu Zhengxiang can decide the governor of Lan Fang, but Harding doesn't have this power.

Of course, this agreement between the British and the Siamese has no effect. During the resistance against British rule, the Siamese have begun to infiltrate Burma. Now those Burmese areas bordering Siam have shown signs of instability. This is the reason why the British finally accepted negotiations with the Siamese. The British don't want to lose both the lady and the army.

This raises a question. Will the Siamese really stop infiltrating Burma as stated in the agreement?

Qin Zhiyuan obviously doesn't think so.
