Go back in time and be a chaebol

Chapter 1026 Calling for Nanyang Hegemony (Second Update, Two-in-One)

"Major, where are we going now?"

Sitting in the armored vehicle, Najib, still in shock, asked nervously.

Although now free from Russian control, he had no idea where he should go or what he should do.

After all, before this he had never thought of falling out with the Russians.

"Comrade Imre, the Russians are invading our country, and more Russian troops may invade our country at any time. What should we do?"

Joseph asked rhetorically.

"You are our leader. Now it is time for you to tell us what we should do in the face of invasion."

Faced with Joseph's question, Imre Nagy fell silent. He was also fed up with the Russians' control. Whether he was implementing new policies when he first came to power or negotiating with representatives of all parties after his comeback, his purpose was to get rid of the Russians' control.

But now, what should he do?

Just when Najib was at a loss, a soldier carrying a pocket radio spoke loudly.

"Listen, there's news on the national radio station, saying it's your statement!"

"My statement?"

Naji was stunned.

"What statement did I invent?"

The next moment, Nagy was stunned by the voice coming from the radio. The announcer made a statement in the name of Imre Nagy, not only accusing the people of being thugs, but also inviting Soviet troops to enter Hungary to help Hungary restore order.

"Damn you Andropov, I never signed such a statement!"

Naji Imre shouted excitedly.

"That despicable guy, how could he do that, Major, let's go to the national radio station, I want to make a speech to the whole nation! I want to tell the truth to all Hungarians."

But in the end, Imre Nagy did not go to the national radio station. Instead, he went to the worker-controlled urban area, where he convened government officials and held a heated discussion. Just as they were discussing how to respond to the Soviet military intervention, the news brought by Joseph plunged the meeting room into silence.

"Hundreds of thousands of Russian troops have crossed the border!"

Faced with such news, Nagy, like everyone else, smoked silently. Having experienced the Great Purge in the Soviet Union, he knew very well what would happen next. Others knew it too. After all, they had all experienced the Great Purge in the Soviet Union and understood the Soviets.

"Okay, now there is no need to hesitate any longer, we must tell the world the truth!"

Standing up, Naji said.

"At the same time, we must tell the world that there is no need to argue about our choice - the choice of all Hungarians. If we continue to argue, the KGB will put a noose around the necks of all of us."

At 31:2 p.m. on the 40st, just a few hours after the Soviet army crossed the border, Nagy made a radio speech on the national radio station, officially declaring Hungary's neutrality on behalf of the government. At the same time, he wrote a letter to UN Secretary-General Hammarskjold, informing the Hungarian government to immediately abolish the Warsaw Pact and requesting assistance from the four major powers to defend the country's neutrality.

Of course, he did not forget to seek help from Nanyang. Although Nanyang was not a permanent member of the Security Council, he had the atomic bomb in his hands!

Nagy's radio speech shocked the whole world - abolishing the Warsaw Pact and asking for aid from the four major powers was to show the world that Hungary had broken with the Soviets.

Unlike the other world, in the broadcast, Nagy also revealed that the Soviets forged his signature and that he had never signed any statement inviting Soviet troops to enter Hungary, and told the world that the Soviet Union was invading Hungary!

"We must resist the invasion and defend our country! We call on all countries in the world to come to our aid and help us."

While making the broadcast, Nagy also went personally to the embassies of the four major countries to seek help, but without exception, the ambassadors of the four major countries seemed hesitant about the issue of aiding Hungary. They had not received any instructions from home and only expressed their support verbally.

"Damn the Americans, weren't they going to fight the Russians? What are they doing now when we need them?"

After leaving the US Embassy disappointed, Najib said angrily.

"They all need instructions from their own countries, and the British and French are focused on Egypt."

The Foreign Minister on the side said that in fact, they also asked Tangshan for help. After all, the reason why Poland was successful was because they won the support of Tangshan. For this reason, Nagy had a two-hour conversation with the Tangshan ambassador in the embassy in Tangshan to win Tangshan's support.

Naji thought for a moment and said:

"Let's go to the Nanyang Embassy next."

When Najib mentioned the Nanyang Embassy, ​​Joseph glanced at him in the car's rearview mirror. Ever since he rescued Najib at Government House, he had become his personal bodyguard.

"What can the Nanyang people do? They are not a big country."

"They have the atomic bomb!"

Najib said.

"They once pushed back the Russians in Siam!"

When the "Siam Crisis" occurred, Hungary also issued a statement condemning the hegemonic behavior in Southeast Asia. Now, for Najib and Hungary, what they need is hegemony in Southeast Asia.

Ten minutes later, Najib and his party arrived at the Nanyang Embassy in Budapest. As soon as they entered the embassy, ​​Najib told Ambassador Cheng Kegong his purpose.

“I hope Nanyang can play a role in helping Hungary maintain its neutrality.”

Facing Najib's request, Cheng Kegong, who had already received instructions, was silent for a moment and then spoke.

"Mr. Prime Minister, I think you should have a direct conversation with Changan at this time."

"Have a direct dialogue with Chang'an?"

Naji was stunned and said in surprise:
"from here?"

"Mr. Prime Minister, all overseas embassies in Southeast Asia have installed satellite ground stations to maintain contact with their home countries. This is with your permission."

This is the biggest benefit of having a geostationary communication satellite, which allows the embassies in Nanyang to keep in touch with the country at any time through the satellite ground station. For this era, this is definitely the black technology among the black technologies. Soon the call to Chang'an was dialed, and the call was directly made to the office in the official residence. When Najib asked for help from Nanyang over the phone, he was still a little dazed. He did not expect that one day, he could use this method to fight against the other side of the earth.

"Sir, we need your assistance. Only with your help can Hungary be saved from invasion."

The English spoken on the other end of the phone was not very fluent, but Li Yian could still hear it clearly. After a moment's silence, he said.

"Mr. Prime Minister, I have only one question. Will you resist the Russian invasion?"

Li Yian's voice was transmitted to Budapest via satellite and clearly heard by Nagy. He did not answer immediately, as if he was thinking about something. At this time, Li Yian's voice came again on the phone.

"If you wish, I can send a plane to take you and your family and friends out of Hungary and provide asylum."

This is the case with many things. If Najib is unwilling to resist, Li Yian will have no choice. Instead of doing that, it is better to send him out and let him in a safe place - to incite domestic resistance.

Faced with the ticket to leave Hungary, Nagy fell silent again. He knew very well that this might be the best option. After all, it was the best option to escape from the hands of the Russians. He had experienced the Great Purge and even served as an informant for the Ministry of Internal Affairs in order to survive and betrayed his Hungarian comrades. If he fell into the hands of the Russians, he would surely die.

How to choose now?
Faced with choices, everyone will become hesitant. After all, some choices are extremely difficult. Najib, holding the phone in his hand, hesitantly cast his eyes at the people who came here with him. They looked at him expectantly, as if they were waiting for him to make a decision.

"Sir! As long as we have your help, we, the Hungarians, will continue to fight to defend our motherland and for the freedom of Hungary!"

The voice on the other end of the phone made Li Yian breathe a sigh of relief. This was exactly the answer he needed.

All right!

Everything is going as planned. Now it's time to teach the Russians a lesson.

Nagy's answer changed everything: Hungary would resist because they were promised aid.

"Ok!"

Nodding, Li Yian spoke into the phone in a firm and calm tone.

"Nagy, my friend, freedom is the price of one generation, and slavery is the price of one generation after another, passed down from generation to generation. As long as Hungary is willing to fight and fight for the country's freedom, we will provide assistance. Hold on, the assistance will come soon!"

When the voice came from the other end of the phone, Najib felt his eyes warm up, as if he saw the light in the darkness. He didn't even know how to describe his feelings. Even when he hung up the phone, Najib was still immersed in a kind of emotion. Looking at the expectant eyes of the accompanying staff, he said excitedly.

"Okay, friends, we are not alone. Help from Southeast Asia will be here soon!"

Thousands of kilometers away in Chang'an, Li Yian seemed very calm at this moment. After hanging up the phone, he leaned back in the soft leather chair. He frowned and looked at the report in front of him thoughtfully for several minutes.

Suddenly, Li Yian said to himself:
"This is the real stage! From now on, there are not only five major powers in the world, but also a sixth major power!"

What was Li Yian’s most common saying in the past?
Nanyang is just very small.

But actually?
Nanyang is not small. In terms of territory, with a land area of ​​nearly 600 million square kilometers, it can only rank among the top 4493 in the world, but it is much larger than France and Germany. In terms of economy, Nanyang's GDP has surpassed that of the United Kingdom and will exceed 1425 billion US dollars this year. Although it cannot be compared with the United States' billion US dollars and the Soviet Union's billion US dollars, it is well-deserved to be the third in the world. Whether in terms of economic issues or technological level, Nanyang has the capital to be the third in the world.

Therefore, no matter from which perspective, Nanyang is a great country.

But a great country...is not just about having a strong economy or a large territory.

In terms of economy, Japan was once the second largest country in the world, and in terms of land area, Canada is also the second largest country in the world.

But what role do they play on the international political stage?
They are all insignificant little characters, and to a certain extent, they have no autonomy.

They are also the second in the world...but their international influence is not worth mentioning at all.

In fact, Nanyang is facing the same problem now - too little international influence.

In terms of international influence, Nanyang is almost not worth mentioning - after all, Nanyang is a young country and its international influence is basically non-existent.

Under such circumstances, is it possible for China to join the United Nations and become the sixth permanent member of the Security Council?
Therefore, Nanyang must take the initiative to play a role in international affairs.

After all, the whole world will see that Nanyang has become a force that cannot be ignored! This will also be the most important step for Nanyang to truly step onto the international stage and become a participant in the international game.

After this time, everything will change!

Li Yian took out a cigar from the cigar box, lit it, took a puff silently, leaned back in his chair, and imagined the future with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

"The sixth great power!"

It's the sixth, not the sixth!
As long as proper planning is carried out, this sixth superpower will have the opportunity to become another important and even pivotal role besides the United States and the Soviet Union!

After thinking for a while, Li Yi slapped his hands on the armrests of the chair, and then muttered to himself.

"Well, we should tell the world about this decision through television - tell the world that when the United States, Britain, and France retreated, Nanyang resolutely took on the responsibility of defending peace!"

In fact, on the issue of Hungary, although the United States seemed to be taking action on the surface, its attitude at that time was very clear. Just like the statement issued by Dulles on the 27th, the United States did not regard the "enslaved peoples of Eastern Europe" as possible military allies. Even the US Ambassador to the Soviet Union, Charles Boren, clearly informed the Soviet leaders that Dulles' statement was issued with the approval of President Eisenhower and fully represented the official position of the US government.

Why did Eisenhower put Hungary on the back burner?

Because he was busy running for the next president, he had no time to care about the Hungarian incident. In addition, he knew very well that according to the Yalta Agreement and the Potsdam Declaration, Hungary belonged to the Soviet Union's sphere of influence in Eastern Europe. The Hungarian incident was an internal affair of the Soviet bloc, and the United States could not intervene directly, otherwise the sphere of influence demarcated by the United States and the Soviet Union would be broken and the world pattern would change. There was no need for the United States to directly confront the Soviet Union for a small Hungary. As for Britain and France, they were now completely trapped in Egypt and wanted to solve the Suez Canal and the Middle East issues by force, so they naturally had no ability to care about Hungary.

When the whole world chose to abandon Hungary, the reason why Li Yian stood up was not only due to strategic needs, but also a more important reason, which was to tell the world that Nanyang is one of the cornerstones of world peace.

"This cornerstone is not just the United States, the Soviet Union, Britain, France...it should also be Southeast Asia!"

And this cornerstone is the lever for Nanyang to truly rise and to leverage everything!

That evening, the footage of Li Yian meeting the Hungarian Ambassador to Southeast Asia at his official residence was broadcast nationwide via Asia Television and was also broadcast live to the world via artificial communication satellites.

"Defenders of Hungary, freedom is the price of one generation, but slavery is the price of generations. As long as there is one Hungarian standing against the Russian invasion, he will receive the full support of Nanyang!"

At this moment, Li Yian's expression was serious, and of course, he was also excited.

Fight!
Hungarians!

Fight to the last Hungarian!
This is what a responsible major country should do. In terms of responsibility, who can compare with Nanyang? Nanyang’s hegemony - it was born to maintain world peace!
