Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Chen Huachao was on a state visit. He stayed in Shin Myung Province for two days, then went to New Tang. He stayed there for two days, then came to China.
Chen Huachao concluded, "In Shin Myung Province, it was a group of brothers who welcomed me. When I came to New Tang and New Tang, I was a generation younger. When I came to China, I realized that I was a grandson."
It was not that he was a grandson in terms of image or status. The problem was that the chairman of China was his son-in-law. If he was not a grandson, then who was?
Being a grandson was not a bad thing. As long as his status was right, he would not be afraid of anyone. The Minister of Commerce, Li Jingshi, told Chen Huachao in private that he had been to the mainland many times and was most afraid of discussing business with the mainland. This was because they often made him not know whether to agree or disagree, whether to approve or disapprove, and in the end, he would always end up with nothing. This time, all the commerce departments were very respectful to him. No matter what problems they had, there would be good results. Some of the projects that were obviously at a disadvantage were also not a problem for the other party. Compared to Xinming, New Tang, and New Tang, it was much easier to talk to them. The Commerce Ministers of Xinming, New Tang, and New Tang were all old cats. Only the Commerce Ministers of China did not know much about business. As long as you praised them a few times, they could give up on the economic benefits. Foreign Minister He Tingfang told Li Jingshi that China had a large territory and abundant resources. Many things could be produced and sold on their own. They did not rely much on the global economy. Therefore, it was normal that they did not use Taiwan. The three new countries were different. Many of their things had to be marketed globally to create benefits. Similarly, they would not bypass the Republic of China.
Hua Chao said something that made He Tingfang and Li Jingshi nod. Hua Chao said, "In China, business profits belong to the country. Outside of business profits belong to the individual. There are many cases where profits have been damaged. He can agree to any condition you have. As long as you come in, he will use political means to get your money. Only then can the money go into his own pocket. Are you going to give it to him? If I don't give you the chance to scram, I'll make a loss this time. If I stay, I'll make a loss in the long run. I'll even become someone's ATM machine. Are you giving it to me or not? "
The two were enlightened and said, "As the saying goes, if you don't take advantage of others, you're a bastard. When it comes to China, if you take advantage of others, you'll be turned into a bastard sooner or later."
In Shin Myung Province, New Tang, and New Korea, the delegation of the Republic of China had gained a lot. Only in China, they had paid a visit purely out of courtesy and did not sign any substantial agreement. This made the Ministry of Commerce of China puzzled.
When they returned to Minquan City, Prime Minister Wu Guowei told Chen Huachao that Indonesia's Ministry of Foreign Affairs had sent a note saying that because the Filipinos had occupied the Maluku Islands and had a conflict with the local residents, these people should become citizens of the Republic of China and should be dealt with by the Republic of China.
Hua Chao asked Hua Zheng about this matter, and Hua Zheng told him that as the King, he should not be involved in such trivial matters and leave it to Yan Jun and Luo Ji. Yan Jun was in charge of providing military supplies, while Luo Ji was in charge of contacting the local Sulu people and getting them to chase the local residents into the sea. After that, they would establish their own independent country. If Indonesia interfered, they would join the Republic of China. At that time, it would depend on whether Indonesia wanted to go to war with the Republic of China.
In the tsunami not long ago, the Japanese aircraft carriers Ōsumi and Hyuga had almost sunk, and they wanted to send them to Shin Myung Province. However, the Shin Myung Province told them to send them to Manila Bay to join the Chinese navy and name them the Cai Li and Huang Xing. With the arrival of these two aircraft carriers, Indonesia would have to think twice before doing anything.
Chen Huachao knew that he would have an easy time as the King, but he did not expect it to be this easy. He bought some of the obsolete Longshan 2017 assault rifles from Shin Myung Province and put Luo Ji in charge of the situation in the Maluku Islands. He wanted to create friction and conflict, hoping that the Maluku Islands would become the fourth province of the Republic of China. The Maluku Islands were rich in nickel and aluminum, and Indonesia would definitely not give up on it. Hence, the war over the Maluku Islands would begin immediately. Yan Jun wanted to reorganize the entire country's military, and the large-scale military conflict would begin after the arrival of the Cai Li and Huang Xing aircraft carriers.
When Yan Jun heard about the Cai Li and Huang Xing aircraft carriers, he was so happy that he could not close his mouth. He was an Army General, and he wanted to be in charge of the navy and the army. His eyes narrowed into slits as he asked Chen Huachao if he could think of a way to buy 30 to 50 Air Overlords from Shin Myung Province. The Battle of Maluku would be a piece of cake!
As for the military conflict with Indonesia, Shin Myung Province would not sit idly by, and China would not sit idly by. As long as it was done properly, it would not be a dream for the Republic of China to become a superpower in Southeast Asia. It all depended on whether Indonesia was willing to take the initiative.
The scale of conflicts in Maluku began to rise inexplicably. Bloody incidents continued to happen. The new immigrants from the Philippines were still tolerating the humiliation, but recently, they suddenly became more confident. In a conflict, they actually took out the Longshan 2017 assault rifle. This rifle could be used in small scale conflicts. It could hit people silently. It was an excellent weapon. Some of the original residents of the small islands were wiped out, and more of them gathered in Anwen and became refugees. Some of the lucky ones entered Sulawesi and Kalimantan and became beggars.
There was the stable development of Luzon, Taiwan's electronic technology, and Sulawesi's iron, gold, chromium, copper, coal, etc. There were also banana, coconut, rice, corn, tobacco, coffee, pineapple, etc. The 100-year Republic of China welcomed its rebirth.
To celebrate the return of the Republic of China to the ranks of the world's superpowers, Chen Huachao decided to invite everyone to Minquan City for the Lunar New Year in 2026. The first person to respond was none other than Xiao Guangyuan. He said that he had been waiting for Wei Zheng to bring him to Luzon, but he was not sure if Wei Zheng was too busy or had forgotten about it. Xiao Guangyuan had been to a lot of places in the past few years, and he had left this place for Wei Zheng to show off.
When Chen Weizheng heard this, he slapped his thigh. Forgot! Forgot! He had long forgotten about it. He quickly ran to Xiao Guangyuan's island in the Andaman Sea and picked up his parents. He met up with Xiao Yao's family, who had come to Longshan City for a holiday from China, and they set off for Minquan City.
Prime Minister Li Wei stayed behind to guard the house. Zheng Jian 'er, Fan Shouneng, and Shi Xiong's families from New Tang took a Sky Overlord to Minquan City. They were the first to arrive, and as soon as they arrived, they changed into beach clothes and flip-flops to travel.
Around the Lunar New Year, when New Tang was freezing and snow was falling, Luzon was wearing flip-flops, shorts, and tank tops. There were eye-catching bikinis on the snow-white beaches, and everyone had a can of refreshing beer in their hands. This was the charm of the tropics. At this time, Luzon did not have the heat of 40 degrees Celsius, nor the sultry heat of the rainy season. It was a relatively refreshing month, and when the weather was 30 degrees Celsius, they jumped into the sea to look at the corals and fish, or followed the waves at the beach. The girls put on sunscreen and sunglasses, lying on the beach chairs and hammocks to bask in the sun. It was a paradise on a tropical island. This group of people from the North was like Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden.
Liu Yu was very generous. He directly got a large passenger plane and brought about 300 people to Minquan City. 100 of them were model workers who had been rewarded, and most of them were family members. The real guests were only 30 or so. Qiu Cha stayed at home in New Han. He was not very enthusiastic about this kind of overly traditional festival in China, but he also knew the importance of this festival in China.
Like New Tang and New Han, Wu stayed in Longshan City, while the others all rushed to Minquan City. Including the old and the young, the final result was more than a thousand people.
The China government held a standing committee meeting, and the result was that Liu Dehou had to go. His parents, in-laws, sons and daughters, daughters-in-law, son-in-law, and grandchildren were all going. There was no reason for him not to go.
The others chose to go to the Red River Province. Zhang Zhihe had to go. His son and daughter were from a big family, especially his son-in-law, Chen Weizheng, was a transcendent existence.
When they checked, they found that China and the four countries around it were already inseparable. If they insisted on separating themselves from the other countries, they would only be isolating themselves. However, the education for a hundred years constantly reminded them to keep a certain distance from the four countries around them. They also knew that this kind of deliberate distance would make the relationship between China and the four countries around them seem cold and dry. However, they could not change their mentality. If they did, they would always feel that it was fake.
Fang Rujin once had an exchange with Liu Dehou in this regard. Liu Dehou told Fang Rujin that it was not that they wanted to alienate them, but that the people of the four countries were very familiar with the domestic system. They knew that they had to keep a certain distance from the country with such a system, because after the end of the term of the government, the new government would more or less adjust the governance of the previous government. This adjustment would more or less affect the countries that had economic relations with them. Chen Weizheng was the person with the strongest idea. He basically did not develop a project with the country. The cooperation with the country was purely a trade relationship, which could be started or stopped at any time. The project would not be affected by the domestic political turmoil.
Because of his influence, New Tang and New Han also maintained this kind of relationship with China. I once asked Xiao Yu why he did this. Xiao Yu said that China had always had a kind of restlessness. If this restlessness was not controlled, there would be turmoil from the bottom to the top. The possibility of this kind of turmoil was always present. Right now, the way the China government used was to raise a group of people, bribe some people, hurt some people, and attack a few people. The biggest variable here was the group of people who were hurt. If this group of people could still tolerate the hurt, the country would be stable. Even if there were some small problems, they could be solved by maintaining stability. If this group of people could not bear the hurt, the country's stability would be affected. They did not dare to get close to a country that could explode at any time.
Fang Rujin said, Xiao Yu's words were too much! In fact, any country would raise a group of people, bribe some people, hurt some people, and attack a few people. It was just the proportion of the people who were hurt in the total number of people!
