Expedition to Europe

In early April, leaders from Britain, France, the United States, Italy, and Germany gathered in Lan Fang to discuss the distribution of Siam.

The United States took the initiative to come forward, and the United States had sufficient reasons. The United States also had its own interests in Southeast Asia. So even if the United States was not eligible to participate in the distribution of Siam, it had to come over to smell the smell, maybe it could get some benefits?

The Italians came to negotiate with the Lan Fang people for Sardinia, and this happened to happen. As for the Germans, William III came to visit relatives under the banner. No matter what others think, William III has lived in Lan Fang for more than a month.

Regarding Sardinia, this is another tragedy.

After Qin Zhiyuan visited Europe, Sardinia began to enter a period of convulsions. At the beginning, individual groups openly began to resist the rule of Rome, and then there were large-scale riots and riots. At the same time, Corsica, which was only a step away from Sardinia, was calm. If you say that there is no shadow of Corsica here, no one will believe it.

Italy's new Prime Minister Mussolini is a very "decisive" person. No matter how capable he is, many people cannot match his "decisiveness".

If there is a problem with Corsica, Mussolini should go to the French, but Mussolini's brain structure is obviously different from many people. This guy bumped into Lan Fang and wanted to negotiate with Qin Zhiyuan about the Sardinia issue.

This is really nonsense.

Qin Zhiyuan's reply to this was also very decisive. Your Italian king did not come, so it is not convenient for me to receive him. If you have any questions, please find the Prime Minister.

It was really a grand event for so many leaders to gather in Lan Fang, so the meeting place was set in Lanling Island, a picturesque "paradise", which was a living advertisement for Lanling Island.

When the meeting resumed, the special representative Huang Bohan represented Lan Fang, and Qin Zhiyuan did not attend the meeting. As for Lu Zhengxiang, the Prime Minister had more things to do and had no time to talk nonsense with the Korean with red eyebrows and green eyes in the venue.

In the restaurant of Penglai Island Palace, even when it was time to eat, Qin Zhiyuan and Lu Zhengxiang were still discussing how to plot against people.

"Jack went a little too far in Perth. Half of the members of the Western Australian Parliament have been replaced. Some people went to Canberra to complain, but those people didn't even get into the Prime Minister's Office. However, they did get in touch with the Governor-General. It is estimated that it will be very lively in the future." Lu Zhengxiang ate and talked.

Lu Zhengxiang and Qin Zhiyuan's lunch was very simple, with four dishes and a soup, and the staple food was steak, a standard combination of east and west. These dishes were made by Misha herself. At the beginning of the year, Qin Zhiyuan and Misha finally held a simple wedding in the chapel of Penglai Island Palace. The officiant was Hugo Ramsden, the new bishop of the Catholic Lanfang Diocese. The former bishop Orbach had been transferred back to the Vatican for another appointment.

"Let them do whatever they want. The more they do, the better. This way, they won't always focus on Port Hedland." Qin Zhiyuan doesn't care much about Perth. As long as they don't delay the supply of ore from Port Hedland, they can do whatever they want.

"It will definitely be lively! Pierre threw a bunch of Malagasy people from Madagascar. Now the Swan River area has become the kingdom of the Malagasy people. Jack is buying ranches and mines on a large scale and starting to migrate the originally neglected indigenous people to Perth. So now Perth is not the world of white people. Many Pers people have begun to immigrate. It looks like it will take only a few years, not more than ten or twenty years, for Perth to be assigned to Lan Fang." Lu Zhengxiang is optimistic about the situation in Perth.

Lan Fang has a complete plan for Australia. The ultimate result of the plan is to turn Australia into Lan Fang's mineral base. This will of course take a process, or even decades. This plan still has branches. If the war starts, some parts of the plan will speed up. At that time, whether it is a referendum or armed occupation, Lan Fang will take Australia into its pocket.

With Jack controlling the Western Australian Parliament, the first phase of this plan has been completed. Australians like to talk about democracy and freedom, so Lan Fang's action is to give someone a taste of their own medicine.

"Don't be so optimistic. The British will not sit idly by. If it really comes to that, the British will definitely make up their minds." Qin Zhiyuan still doesn't plan to anger the British now. This is like cutting meat with a knife. As long as he persists, the British will sooner or later be unable to bear it.

"Then they have to take care of it first. According to the news last night, the Chiang Mai Freedom Army attacked Chiang Mai City, and the British retreat was cut off. The two divisions that entered Siam became trapped. I guess this news will make Lloyd George anxious." Lu Zhengxiang smiled very comfortably, and the chopsticks in his hand could not be held steadily.

Compared with Lloyd George, Lu Zhengxiang's job as prime minister was really relaxed and comfortable, at least he was in a good mood.

"Lloyd George won't be the prime minister for many more days. The British Parliament is considering early elections. I guess Lloyd George won't make any big moves before then. He will just maintain the status quo." Qin Zhiyuan was also laughing at Lloyd George's joke.

The UK is not stable now. After all, the UK is so small and has so many people. The largest fleet in the world cannot solve all problems. If the stall is too big, problems will arise sooner or later. In the current Commonwealth, Canada and Australia are clamoring for autonomy, and Africa is also unstable. The French have been stabbing the British, and problems will arise sooner or later. The Commonwealth that once covered the whole world is only India that is still honest. No wonder Britain attaches so much importance to India.

The original text can be read in Liu # 9 @shu/bar!

In fact, the root cause is still the world war. Before the world war, the countries in the Commonwealth were still honest. Even in the world war, the troops sent by Canada and Australia were the mainstay of the Commonwealth army. But after the World War, Canadians and Australians were shocked to find that they participated in the World War, but what they gained was not proportional to what they paid. The British suffered serious losses and could not give any compensation for a while, so this made Canadians and Australians really angry. Australians were better and did not express it too obviously, or because of the war in Western Australia, they had no time to consider this issue, but Canada went too far. They even sent the military commander who led the Canadians to participate in the World War to the trial, expressing their protest against Britain in this way.

I don’t know why, Qin Zhiyuan looked at the current Britain and really had a sense of déjà vu of the late Qing Empire, and Lloyd George was the paperhanger in this broken house in Britain.
