Chapter 328: The Commander-in-Chief and the Spiritual Master (Fourth update, please subscribe)

Washington, White House.

The moment the door opened, Truman stepped forward with a smile from the center of the office to greet him.

"Ah, my friend, please come in."

"Harry, long time no see."

The two of them were not very polite. After Truman asked Li Yian to sit down, he walked towards the wall and opened a wine cabinet.

"Have a drink, old friend, I've been waiting for this opportunity."

What is the opportunity?

Of course it was to entertain Li Yian in the Oval Office,

"Hmm - some scotch?"

"Li, I happen to have a bottle of whiskey here sent by British Prime Minister Allied."

As he spoke, he poured wine into an exquisite glass.

"Want some water? Some soda?"

he asked at the wine cabinet.

"Would you like a small drink, Harry? No, thank you, no water."

Truman nodded in agreement and took the wine glass over. They toasted each other and sipped whiskey. Li Yian was still waiting for the conversation to begin.

Truman noticed this and glanced at him.

"Li, you know, I have been looking forward to today's meeting for a long time,"

Three days ago, Li Yian arrived in New York by plane, but it was not until today that the two had the opportunity to meet. After all, the meeting between the two heads of state requires some procedures.

"I have been looking forward to this day,"

When he stepped into the White House again, Li Yian's mood was different from the last time. The owner of this building was different from the last time. Now its owner is a real old friend.

In the past two years, Truman has given him a lot of help. Li Yi'an has always benefited a lot from both tangible and intangible help.

"Do you remember the first time we met?"

"certainly,"

"At that time, when you said you wanted to be my first sponsor when I ran for president, I thought it was out of reach, but many times, fate is so magical..."

The two people started chatting like this, talking about the past and the friendship between the two. However, as the topic deepened, they gradually also talked about some specific matters, which were so-called national affairs. From Europe to Asia, the two people chatted a lot, and Li Yian also gave Truman some suggestions. The so-called suggestions were just the general trend of the future.

"Lee, before you came, Burns once suggested that I should remind you when we meet that the United States will not support your ambitions from Sulawesi to West Irian. Yes, the Dutch told all this. We, they want the support of the United States."

Burns in the doorway of Trudeau is the Secretary of State. After ending the previous chat, they still have to face real problems.

"What Burns said should not be a reminder, but a warning."

Li Yian smiled.

"However, Burns got one thing wrong. Now it's not that I have ambitions for the area east of Sulawesi, but what will happen if the Dutch can't hold there?" Because Truman didn't smoke, and he didn't He liked others to smoke in front of him, so Li Yi'an didn't smoke either. As the president's maker and spiritual mentor, he would never make the stupid mistake of Marshal Mai provoking Truman by smoking.

After taking a sip of wine, Li Yian said in a serious tone.

"What will happen? An independent Java. This is natural. The only question is, who will this Java fall to? We all know that now even the Labor government in the UK claims to imitate Soviet Russia, and Soviet Russia They are also doing their best to expand their influence. Maybe their influence is not enough to change the direction of Britain, but for a small country like Java, it is extremely influential, and according to our intelligence, the Javanese Republican Party itself It had left-wing tendencies and had certain connections with the Russians before the war."

Although the Cold War has not yet begun, the Iron Curtain is about to fall. Li Yi'an, who understands the future direction, knows very well what card he should play now - Russia!

In the house of cards that was the Cold War, who was the most powerful king?

It is the expansion of Russia and resistance to Russia.

As long as these two points are grasped, even an apartheid regime like South Africa is acceptable.

"You mean Java will fall to Russia?"

Truman asked while holding the wine glass.

"This is inevitable, even putting aside their inclinations. From a practical point of view, the Netherlands is a member of the Western world, and the cost of their return to Java is funded by the United States. For Javanese Republicans, the United States and the Netherlands and the entire Western world are their enemies. In contrast, Russia is a friend. In order to expand its influence, Russia will inevitably provide them with corresponding assistance after its independence, and Russia's power will also follow. Expanding into the Indian Ocean and the South Pacific. Until then, who can stop them?"

Who can stop it?

Of course it’s down! It’s Nanyang, don’t you support me?

Li Yi'an doesn't mind being a shield against Russia's "expansion", provided there are enough benefits.

"This is also the reason why I made territorial claims to the Dutch, not because of expansion, but for regional stability and own security. If one day, the Netherlands fails and Java joins the Russian camp, then it will not only be needed by Nanyang The dilemma of being surrounded by it, also, the Russian fleet will appear in the South Pacific, after all, now the Russians are expanding their fleet."

Once again, Li Yi'an resorted to the Russian method. Russia is expanding its navy. This is also a well-known fact. Although it may not necessarily have the ability to compete head-on with the British and American navies on the ocean in the short term, it still poses a certain threat to the American and British navies. .

And is the United States willing to face such a threat?

The answer is obvious.

Truman asked after thinking for a moment.

"So, are you saying we should support Dutch rule in Java?"

How can you not play your cards according to common sense?

Support the Dutch?

What a joke!

"As far as I know, there is resistance to Dutch rule all over Java, and I personally believe that Dutch defeat is inevitable in the next few years, with or without the help of other countries."

Li Yian's answer made Truman deeply agree.

"This is very similar to India. Whether the British want it or not, the Indians no longer welcome them. They will either leave voluntarily or be kicked out."

"Yes, external intervention in this case makes no sense. It only delays the inevitable failure."

Li Yian said as he put down the wine glass in his hand.

"That's why I made requests to the Dutch, not for expansion, but for the peace of the region. This region is in our hands. At least something we don't want to see will not happen - the Russians will step on their military boots." Too South Pacific!”

The Russians have now extended their hands into the Pacific from Japan. Faced with such a threat, how could the Americans take it lightly?

"It seems that the United States needs to further improve its intelligence system. We know almost nothing about Java. This led to problems with Burns' judgment. He did not notice the changes taking place on the ground. We should consider it more Sustaining the interregional future.”

Truman's seemingly casual words were actually telling Li Yi'an that the United States did not object to his eastward expansion.

His answer made Li Yian feel proud in his heart. After all, people in this era have not yet realized that after the outbreak of the Cold War, the biggest wealth code was the confrontation between the United States and Russia, in order to enhance the power of his own side. Not only are they willing to pay real money, but they even fall into a state of obsession.

Although it is not that intense now, as long as you grasp this wealth code, you can always get certain rewards. After all, anti-Russia will soon become politically correct in European and American Western countries, and by then, Borneo will be able to take advantage of the opportunity to make a profit.
