Chapter 859 Nanyang really has no bottom line (third update, please subscribe)
"..."

Standing by the window and looking out, the originally chaotic streets finally returned to calm. Only some uniformed police were still there cleaning up the mess - the crowd was finally dispersed.

"Fortunately, there is still time."

After checking the time, Li Hongji hurried downstairs. As soon as he reached the roadside, he saw a flyer on the windshield.

"Expose the ugly faces of the American running dogs..."

Lee Hong-ji didn't even bother to look at the contents on the paper. He just crumpled it up and threw it on the road, the street, the wall, and everywhere there were posters and flyers.

Most of the content was about opposing Nanyang hegemony. Looking at the messy streets, Li Hongji stepped on the accelerator and rushed to the agreed place. After a while, he arrived at a teahouse. The teahouse was very lively. Tea drinkers here drank tea and ate snacks, completely unaffected by the outside world.

As soon as Li Hongji entered the teahouse, someone he knew greeted him.

"Hey, Boss Li, come on, come on... did you make an appointment with a friend, or? Boss Li, please do me a favor and sit with me for a while."

Unlike when he first came to Hong Kong Island a few years ago, Li Hongji is now already a well-known businessman in Hong Kong Island.

"Look at what you said. Normally, if you want to drink tea with Boss Xu, you have to queue up. However, today I have an appointment with a guest, and the time has come. Next time I will host you."

After a few polite words, Li Hongji walked into a private room. Although the time was just right, the guests had arrived long ago, but he still apologized.

"Brother Zhao, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. There was a traffic jam on the road. I'm really sorry."

"It's okay, it's okay, come, sit down, the best Biluochun."

Zhao Liren seemed very enthusiastic. After a brief chat, he continued.

"By the way, Manager Li, I will be going back next month."

"Oh my, Brother Zhao is going to be promoted! Congratulations."

After congratulating, Li Hongji asked again.

"Then, Brother Zhao, after you get promoted, please take good care of me."

"sure."

Then the two of them started chatting. Although they were talking about business, in the end, they inevitably talked about current affairs.

"Manager Li, what exactly are you planning to do in Siam this time? Are you really planning to be the Americans' pawns?"

"Look at what you said, what is a vanguard?"

Li Hongji laughed.

"Didn't you read your speech? It's just for safety. We have more than a billion dollars invested in Malaya. If someone wants to get involved and disrupt the good situation there, Chang'an will never accept that. That's why we have to cut it off."

Zhao Liren asked.

"So you have to blockade their territorial waters."

After taking a sip of tea, Li Hongji smiled.

"Correct."

"You are now directly blocking the entire Siam, which is too overbearing. Our company has business dealings with Siam, and now many products cannot be brought in or taken out!"

Zhao Liren was completely in the position of a businessman. In fact, they both knew each other's identity, but they had been keeping it a secret. Nanyang had a very bad reputation. Not only were they run by big capitalists, but they were also extremely overbearing towards the surrounding countries. At the same time, they were willing to act as running dogs of the United States, Britain and other countries in Nanyang, a typical reactionary type.

Therefore, the contact with Nanyang has always been just commercial contact. After all, Nanyang's products are still very good, and they are also willing to export various products. Some banned goods can be re-exported through Hong Kong Island. This can also solve the urgent needs of the country.

But politically, Nanyang has once again fully demonstrated their willingness to be running dogs of American imperialism!
"If you continue to be so overbearing, you will definitely not end up well."

"It's okay. They are so domineering. Nanyang has been developing for so many years. To put it bluntly, isn't it just for bullying people? As for whether it will end well? We can talk about it when they have the ability in the future."

"What? Just to bully people?" "Yes, just to bully people!"

Li Hongji said without disguising.

"At the beginning, we had no intention of bullying others, but others thought we were weak and could be bullied, or even thought we were naive and stupid, but..."

Li Hongji said as he stroked the edge of the teacup with his fingers.

"They don't know that Nanyang will never make any concessions on its own security issues. If anyone thinks Nanyang is weak and can be bullied, they will definitely pay a price."

"Is Nanyang weak and can be bullied? It is clearly Nanyang that is bullying us! Siam is an independent country, but you directly blockaded its territorial waters and prohibited merchant ships from entering or leaving. How can you be so overbearing? This is clearly hegemonism!"

"Yup!"

In response to such accusations, Li Hongji said.

"That's right, it's hegemonism. If it's hegemony, it will definitely bully others. Now that Siam is in our hands, we must deal with it. In fact..."

Putting down the teacup in his hand, Li Hongji smiled.

"We have worked so hard for so many years, developing the economy and the military. We have finally become strong, but you are just bullying others! If you don't practice hegemony, how can you justify our ten years of construction?"

Uh... For a moment, Zhao Liren was silent. He looked at Li Hongji for a long time before saying,
"You guys... really have no bottom line!"

"The bottom line, the bottom line of Nanyang, is that we will never allow anyone to threaten the security of Nanyang. This is the basic bottom line,"

"But you must also be clear that the Siamese people will never succumb to foreign pressure, and people around the world who support justice will support their just cause."

"It's okay. If they don't surrender now, we'll just beat them until they surrender! As for others' support, let them support us. Anyway, we're going to beat them until they submit."

After saying that, Li Hongji picked up the teacup and started drinking tea. In fact, they both understood the purpose of this meeting. Although they seemed to be chatting, they had actually gotten the answers they wanted.

……

That evening, a letter from Hong Kong was delivered to the "company" and presented to Sun De'an. He carefully read the report, then looked at Jia Wentao and asked.

"Wentao, what do you think about this matter?"

"It seems that Siam will not compromise. External aid is their greatest confidence. With this confidence, the possibility of compromise is almost zero."

Jia Wentao, who had dealt with the Soviets a lot when he was in Tokyo, added.

"There is no word for compromise in their dictionary. Compromise is equal to surrender, and surrender is equal to failure. Even if it is a temporary compromise, it is for a better attack. Therefore, if we start to act, we must adhere to one principle. Once we act, we must never stop the action, otherwise there will definitely be endless troubles in the future."

"What if a major country were to mediate diplomatically?"

"Director, didn't you just say that? Even if it's a temporary compromise, it's for a better attack. Since we know how, then diplomatic mediation is naturally a sleight of hand, and the same is true for us!"

Jia Wentao's suggestion made Sun De'an nod and say.

"The official residence means almost the same thing. If you want to do something, you have to do it thoroughly without any hesitation."

Sun De'an said.

"But be as safe as possible. Also, be careful not to let the other side get any evidence. Now they are accusing us of hegemony in the United Nations and many other places. Although this is true, some actions are better kept secret. Well, we can coordinate with Hydra. It would be more appropriate for Hydra to come forward than for us to do so."

"I understand that we are outsiders. Whatever happens has nothing to do with us."

"Yes, just like they explained to us, no matter what happens there, it has nothing to do with us. Hegemonism... Actually, this is also good, don't you think?"

The director's rhetorical question made Jia Wentao laugh.

"Hegemonism... Is there hegemony in this world? There is only realism in this world. After all, who wouldn't be hegemonic if they had power in their hands?"
