Chapter 747 Another one settled
Seeing that the time was almost right, Director Sun stopped pretending and said what needed to be said. In addition to asking them to support Li Shaoyi's Southeast Asian operations, the last thing he wanted to do was to resolve some of the dirty work between the Guangxi warlords and the Blast Furnace Empire. You have to make concessions now. After all, we are the middlemen. Without us, who knows what those planes can do.
Maybe they conducted intensive training in the middle of the night and brought bombs to your land. It's hard to say where they would drop them. You also have military intelligence officers in your ranks. If that doesn't work for you, go to the north and see. The air force of the 72nd Army can drop dozens of tons of bombs every day even during training.
It took Director Sun nearly five minutes to say everything he needed to say. There was no need to hide anything at this time, and there was no need to use any techniques, because our strength was there. This was how the foreigners negotiated with us back then. In the face of absolute strength, it was a waste of time to engage in conspiracies and tricks.
Mr. Hardman's face looked worse and worse. He had been preparing for more than an hour, but when the real result came, this guy still felt his heart beating faster. He took out an exquisite little medicine box from his pocket and swallowed it with the coffee in front of him.
The other things here are all trivial matters, and he can basically make the decision on them. The only thing he can't make the decision on is about Batavia.
Director Sun just said it very clearly. No matter what happens in Batavia, the Gallic Empire must stay out of it and not get involved.
When Mr. Hardman came here, he had only one idea about this place, which was to get these planes to leave as soon as possible and not change the political structure of the Indochina Peninsula. Now this goal has been achieved, but he does not feel at ease at all, and is even a little scared.
This guy suddenly thought of something. Perhaps at the beginning, Li Shaoyi’s target was not the three countries in Indochina, but Batavia.
I chatted with this guy for an hour and slowly fell into this pit. But if I want to climb out now, it may not be so easy. If I offend Li Shaoyi because of this, he may change his target from Batavia to the three countries in Indochina, which may be easier.
"The situation in Southeast Asia involves several countries, and it's not something we can decide alone. Even if we don't interfere, some people will."
Mr. Hardman still had some hope. After all, he had been fooled by the people in front of him. In the minds of these people, the Dragon people were a generation behind us. How could you have fooled me?
"Don't worry about these things. Those arrogant guys in the 72nd Army think they can handle everything in Southeast Asia. We can just wait and see. Besides, if they suffer losses in Southeast Asia, wouldn't that be a good thing? They won't bully us in the future."
Director Sun still acted as if we were in the same trench, but Mr. Hardman no longer believed it. You and I were in the same trench when we were gossiping, but when we were talking about serious interests, you stood by and looked at me with a gun. Is this what brothers in a trench are?
Mr. Hardman said that he could not make the decision, so it took him two hours to send telegrams to the governors of the three countries in Indochina, and he even had to discuss it with the country. After all, this matter involved too many people, and no one expected that Li Shaoyi's ambition would be so big.
Of course, Mr. Hardman added that deploying fleets and aircraft would cost a lot of money, so there must be a return. If we interfere in Southeast Asian affairs and let Li Shaoyi get nothing, it is very likely that this stick will fall on our heads.
Although Director Sun was anxious, he did not rush them. He knew that this was not a simple matter and it was very likely to change the situation in Southeast Asia, so the people there had to be given some time to adapt, and it had to be discussed with everyone.
After several hours of negotiation, a result was finally reached. After all, the Gallic Empire was not one of the world's top powers. If it had encountered such a thing in the past, it would definitely find a way to participate and see if it could get a piece of the pie, just like the United States today. When they heard that Li Shaoyi was going to cause trouble in Southeast Asia, these guys were very happy.
The world's superpowers are never afraid of world shocks, because only when the situation in various places changes can they calmly reach out and put all kinds of benefits into their pockets.
Only such former world powers would be afraid of political changes in various places, because their political, military and economic strength are not as strong as before. They only want to keep the territory they seized in the past and have no ambition at all.
This is the case with the current Gallic Empire. If they are not attacked, and all the aircraft are withdrawn to the north after the fleet returns, then they will approve of all of Li Shaoyi's actions in Southeast Asia and provide necessary assistance.
Of course, both parties must sign a secret agreement. The level of the person signing this secret agreement must be at least that of the Chief of Staff of the 72nd Army. No one else can replace him, and the Nanjing National Government must also send people to participate. It is equivalent to a four-party agreement.
The Gallic Empire and the Seventy-Second Legion were the main signatories.
The Guangxi warlords and the Nanjing government were equivalent to one witness.
The news quickly reached Li Shaoyi and Commander Li, and neither of them had any objection to it, and the Nanjing National Government did not stop them.
For the parties who signed the agreement, they all got what they wanted.
In exchange for Li Shaoyi's promise, the Gallic Empire would not take any action against the three countries in Indochina and would be able to preserve its own interests in the Far East. This was their biggest idea.
The Guangxi warlords used this opportunity to resolve some conflicts with the Gallic Empire, and the border areas were able to remain quiet for a period of time, and there was even a hint of gaining the upper hand.
The Nanjing National Government also extended its hand to the southwest, which had never happened before. Of course, only some government agencies came, and military agencies were still not allowed to enter, but it was better than having nothing.
Li Shaoyi's gains are of course greater. Of the three most powerful countries in Southeast Asia, Li Shaoyi has now dealt with two, leaving only the Windsor Empire. When the time comes, the worst that can happen is that we will just have to fight hard, and we may not necessarily lose.
Moreover, Li Shaoyi also agreed. When we really occupied Batavia, the merchants of the Gallic Empire could enjoy the same treatment as the Chinese merchants, and their personal and property safety would be guaranteed. Of course, the Gallic Empire also had to pay a price, which was to open some of their airports...
