Go back in time and be a chaebol

Chapter 685 is a bit bloated (Third update, please subscribe)
While ordinary people are cheering for the atomic bomb in Nanyangyang, for officials, the most important thing now is not celebration.

But diplomacy.

From the moment Nanyang possessed the atomic bomb, everything changed. What has changed is not just Nanyang itself, but Nanyang’s position on the world stage.

From now on, sit on the dining table or lie on the dinner plate. For Nanyang, this is an unavoidable reality.

It is precisely because of this that diplomacy has become the top priority of everything at this time.

However, sometimes things tend to be unexpected.

"The British..."

When receiving the secret message from Margaret through the embassy, ​​Li Yi'an couldn't help but sigh.

"I've never been a human being before!"

Attlee's calculation... was a shrewd one.

"No matter what we do, we are rats in a bellows, taking the blame from both sides. Whether it is the Tang people or the Malays, as long as we enter, they will definitely be dissatisfied. Even if we do not favor the Tang people, the Malays will They think we are being partial and will be dissatisfied with us.”

Li Guoren reminded him seriously.

"Sir, the British must have no good intentions!"

This kind of unpleasant thing is not a good thing for Nanyang.

"so what?"

"So what?"

"They are pushing us into a pit of fire, trying to kill people with a borrowed knife. If we favor the Tang people, it will definitely arouse the dissatisfaction of the Malays represented by Umno. If we allow Umno to maintain its privileged position, then it will inevitably It will arouse the dissatisfaction of the Tang people against us."

"Attlee hopes that we, as members of the Commonwealth, will send troops and officials to help stabilize the current situation in Malaya...Your Excellency,"

"Who cares about them? If necessary, you can turn them into reds. Fighting against reds... is always right."

Picking up a cigar and lighting it, Li Yian took a puff, then stood up slowly, pacing and talking.

Your Excellency's words directly silenced Li Guoren, but he didn't think it was a big deal. After all, this is what they do in Mindanao, and those Moro people have become "husbands". "Molar".

In short, for Western countries in this era, anti-Soviet is the most correct thing to do, and everyone can use this as an excuse to do many things.

"We have always planned to intervene in Malaya, but there has been no suitable opportunity. Now the British have taken the opportunity with both hands, so all we need is to seize the opportunity. As for the Malays..."

Li Yian said with a cold smile.

Li Yian asked rhetorically.

"So we must be very cautious about this matter."

Li Guoren, who had stayed at the Embassy in Britain, almost subconsciously felt that the British must have some conspiracy.

Thinking of Zamboanga, Li Guoren said.

Looking at Your Excellency, Li Guoren said.

As for the United States, it is correct. This world is sometimes so naked. In another world, Suharto killed hundreds of thousands of expatriates. What price did he pay?
There is nothing, because his excuse is high-sounding, it is to attack the Reds. Now the British are suppressing the Tang people in Malaysia. What is the reason? It is also to avoid the redness of Malay. The Labor Party is so divided - one side is flying the red flag in the UK, and the other is tearing up the red flag in Malaysia.

"Your Excellency, it seems that Manila has chosen silence at the moment."

Then he emphasized.

"After we tested the atomic bomb, Quirino and others seemed very panicked. They were in contact with the United States and seemed to be seeking U.S. intervention and mediation." What does it mean to seek U.S. intervention and mediation? It's obvious that he is trying to gain support. What matters now is not whether Nanyang uses atomic bombs, but that after having atomic bombs, Nanyang's status will be very different.

In the past, the Philippines dared to criticize, but what about now?

I'm scared.

"You see, this is human nature."

After taking a puff of the cigar, the fragrant smoke filled his mouth, Li Yian spit it out again and sneered.

"A few days ago, they accused us of interfering in Mindanao, but now? They are worried about their own safety. This world has always been like this. When we did not have atomic bombs, for everyone, Nanyang... was just It’s just Nanyang, but after we have the atomic bomb, Nanyang is no longer just Nanyang, but a country with atomic counterattack capabilities, a country with nuclear counterattack capabilities like the United States and Russia! You are destined to have your own say in this world!”

This is the charm of the atomic bomb!
Moreover, Nanyang is now the third country with nuclear weapons after the United States and Soviet Russia. Even the traditional old powers Britain and France do not have it!

Therefore, this is not just as simple as confidence.

"And this is also the basis for our intervention in Malaya!"

Before the atomic bomb, Li Nian needed to hide his ambitions for the Federation of Malaya, but it is different now. The successful test of the atomic bomb was enough to make the Malay leadership afraid of it. Nanyang is the third country in the world to possess an atomic bomb. country will definitely leave a deep impression on them.

Although for the people, the impact of the nuclear test in Nanyang is not so great. But it doesn’t matter whether the public pays attention to it, as long as it can scare the higher-ups. Those guys’ goals are still very “humble”. After more than 20 years, when the petrodollars continue to pour in, those green-blooded guys will be in the world. The range begins to expand.

Before the input of petrodollars and the expansion of the Gulf countries, those peace believers all over the world...were all humble!
However, now it seems that... I am a bit inflated, so be careful! Don’t get lost!
The atomic bomb is just a tool, the important thing is the economy!
Isn't it because of the economies and oil of the Gulf countries that the Peace Cults are able to expand?
There are no so-called rich countries and the oil in their hands.

Those people will still be humble and meek.

This is always the reality in this world. People will not look at a poor country differently just because it has an atomic bomb.

But if it is a rich country, even if it does not have atomic bombs, it will turn many countries into licking dogs - for the sake of the knives in their pockets.

If this country is not only rich, but also has atomic bombs. That's just another matter.

After all, this world ultimately depends on overall strength.

Turning around, Li Yian said.

"It seems that I need to go to London in person. Since Attlee has made a bid, I have to see what he wants!"

Of course, the most important thing is to see how much flesh can be extracted from the British Empire before Allied steps down. After all, on the road of treason, the Allied cabinet is absolutely unparalleled. Comparable.

It is very rare for a person to dismember the British Empire in the so-called "name of the people" in just a few years. If you can take the opportunity to eat a few pieces of meat or even just drink a few sips of soup, it will be very worthwhile.

However, if you want to visit overseas, you must also make preparations, such as the arrangement of domestic affairs. This is nothing. Although Nanyang does not have a prime minister or a vice president, the secretary-general of the official residence has always played this role.

In addition, of course, we have to meet with the US ambassador. After all, the United States is also extremely shocked by the atomic bomb test in Nanyang. Besides being shocked, the United States also needs to seriously consider an issue - in the US strategic layout in Asia , what role will Nanyang play.

"Nanyang will continue to stand by the United States as its most important partner and ally in Asia."

When meeting with Ambassador Kirk, Li Yi'an once again emphasized this point. In fact, for the current United States, the main purpose is to use the post-war rules formulated by the United States to develop Southeast Asia's economy and take advantage of the rare post-war peace era to fully develop Yourself, this is the most important thing.

As for other things, they are secondary. Nanyang is just a small country. It does not need to compete with big countries, and it does not need to export anything. If it must be exported, then can it not be profitable to export goods?
Then Li Yian said again.

"Moreover, I am about to go to London. After my visit to London, I will go to Washington in person to meet with President Truman!"

Hearing this, Kirk raised his eyebrows and said.

"I believe President Truman will definitely look forward to your visit."

Well, as ambassador, Kirk has completed his mission, and the rest is left to Washington...
