Chapter 71: Sending troops to Korea
After hearing Tang Jian’s request, Li Aiyan immediately refused: “No, it’s absolutely impossible. What is the difference between China doing this and annexing North Korea?”
After hearing this, Li Jun sat on the sofa with his eyes blank. He originally thought he was here to ask Tang Jian for help this time, but he did not expect that Tang Jian had the same wolfish ambition as Ito Hiromon, who actually wanted to annex North Korea.
Tang Jian seemed to have guessed their reaction long ago, so he did not show much surprise, but looked at the two of them quietly.
Li Jun sat on the sofa without saying anything for a long time, and Li Aiyan looked at Tang Jian with hatred. In Li Aiyan's heart, Li Aiyan thought Tang Jian was a contemporary hero. As a Chinese-clad North Korea is about to be annexed by the greedy Japanese. Li Aiyan originally thought that if there was some price, Tang Jian should send troops to North Korea and drive away the Japanese. After all, if the Japanese successfully annexed North Korea, it would be a huge threat to the rapidly developing and building Northeast. In any case, Tang Jian would never sit idly by.
But now it seems that Tang Jian wanted the lion to speak out, trying to take advantage of the situation and annex North Korea in one fell swoop.
When she thought of this, the only thing Tang Jian had left in Li Aiyan's heart, she disappeared.
Tang Jian asked: "Do you think this condition is very harsh, so harsh that you can't accept it?"
Li Jun nodded helplessly, and Li Aiyan said in a row: "You are just taking advantage of the situation and you are an absolute robber!"
"Ha, robber?" Tang Jian smiled and said, "A very interesting metaphor."
"Then let me ask you, do you want Japan to annex Korea, then destroy the country and the race, or are you willing to submit to China?" Tang Jian asked.
"You are not called surrender. Like the greedy Hirobuki Ito, you want to annex our North Korea." Lee Aiyan said with hatred.
"This is called annexation? Let me ask, is North Korea now diplomacy? No! All the economic lifelines and military and political power are in the hands of the Japanese. Do you have your own army now? No! For those rebels in your country who still hold primitive weapons, in the eyes of the Japanese army, aren't it? Do you feel safe now? No! As long as Japan wants, they can dethrone the current King of Korea and then appoint another governor." Tang Jian asked fiercely.
After several consecutive questions, Li Aiyan was refuted and speechless. Tang Jian said the truth. This time, North Korea has almost become a colony of Japan. Now the only thing is a procedure.
A weak country has no diplomacy. This sentence is very true. Even if Tang Jian doesn’t keep a trace of affection, Li Jun still dared not refute it at all, but buried his head tightly in his arms.
Tang Jian's tone was a little slower and continued, "In fact, after submitting to China, it is not as bad as you think. China is just stationed in North Korea, and will not bully you like the Japanese army. Moreover, if it encounters foreign invasion, China's army will stand up to protect North Korea as soon as possible. Not only will China not plunder North Korea, but on the contrary, China will also provide economic assistance to North Korea and help North Korea establish its own industry and commerce. At the same time, if North Korea encounters any natural disaster, China will also provide free help to North Korea as soon as possible!"
"The political system in North Korea remains unchanged, and the royal family can be retained. The king or king. The Chinese government will not interfere. In terms of diplomacy, I think under the protection of China, the North Korean minister will not look at people's faces abroad. To put it in an image analogy, as long as North Korea agrees to these requirements, North Korea will be like the children of China. Someone bullies you. China will immediately help you fight back. If you have difficulties, China will stand up to fund you. At the same time, China will not restrict your freedom. You will develop as much as you should in your country. At that time, tariffs can even be abolished between the two countries. The people of China and North Korea can freely intermarry and trade. What's wrong with this?"
Li Aiyan was silent for a while, then sneered and said, "President Tang Jian has made a good plan. If he really continues to Tonghua like this, I am afraid that North Korea will become a province in China in a few years."
Tang Jian was a little annoyed at Lee Aiyan's self-righteous cleverness, and then said sternly: "Okay, then ask you, what do ordinary people seek in their lives? Isn't it just to live a happy life with peace and prosperity, a peaceful country, and a prosperous country! Under the protection of China, these Chinas can give to North Korea, so what else do you want? Freedom? I tell you, freedom and freedom are relative, and there is still a price to pay, okay! You North Korea wants freedom! But what do you get? At this time, the national strength of North Korea is weak, and any slightly stronger country dares to invade you. Japan is the best example. When the Japanese invaders invade, North Korea is almost annexed, and they are talking about bullshit! Freedom, do you think that after North Korea becomes a Japanese colony, North Korea still has fucking freedom? Do you think that the oppressed Korean people still talk about living a happy life?"
Li Aiyan was shocked when she heard Tang Jian’s scolding. Indeed, what she wanted was North Korea’s freedom and freedom to let the Korean people live a good life, but are these so easy to get? In the hundreds of years since the founding of North Korea, it has been invaded by Japanese invaders many times in history, and many times it was North Korea who asked for help from external forces to survive. Since the Tang Dynasty and until the recent Ming Dynasty, it has helped North Korea expel Japanese invaders.
If North Korea continues like this, it may still be invaded by Japanese invaders or even destroyed the country in the next few hundred years!
At this time, Li Jun stood up, took a deep breath and said, "President Tang Jian, we need to discuss this with our Majesty the King." It seems that Li Jun was a little moved. Instead of destroying the country and destroying the species, it is better to continue to survive under the protection of China. For North Korea, which is in danger this time, this may be a good thing.
Tang Jian smiled and said, "I think you know that North Korea is not too long at this time. I will give you half a month to communicate with the King of North Korea. After half a month, it will expire!"
"Then President Tang Jian, let's say goodbye first!" Li Jun nodded and pulled Li Aiyan out of the presidential palace. Tang Jian clearly saw the moment when Li Aiyan, who looked dull, pulled him away, and looked back at Tang Jian deeply, with a complicated look in his eyes.
After the two left, Tang Jian leaned tiredly on his big back chair. The words just now were too laborious. Tang Jian suddenly felt powerless. When Tang Jian thought of the complicated eyes of Li Aiyan turning around and leaving, he suddenly felt that he was a little too cruel. He wanted to annex her country, and he was so reasonable.
However, from the perspective of China's national interests, Tang Jian had to do this because he was a Chinese!
Perhaps for Li Aiyan, Tang Jian's doing this is a bit cruel, but for North Korea, doing this can really prevent North Korea from being destroyed, and at least it will not allow the Korean people to suffer from Japan's plunder and oppression. For China, China's border line will expand, its territory will increase, and North Korea will become China's natural barrier in the Northeast.
Just as Tang Jian was closing his eyes to rest, the door of Tang Jian’s office was knocked. Tang Jian responded, Yan Fu pushed open the door, saw Tang Jian lying on the big back chair with some weakness, and asked, “President, have you told them all?”
Tang Jian nodded.
"How much time has the president given them?" Yan Fu asked.
Tang Jian opened his eyes, sat up straight, and said, "It took half a month."
Yan Fu frowned slightly.
Tang Jian saw this expression and asked, "Mr. Yan, why do you think I have given them too much time to consider?"
Yan Fu nodded.
Tang Jian explained: "The most urgent thing at this time is not us, but North Korea. Now the situation in North Korea is in critical condition and may be annexed by Japan at any time. I can't want it for half a month, and the North Korean ambassador will definitely come to find me again."
Yan Fu smiled and said, "The President is so confident?"
Tang Jian smiled slightly: "For such a simple multiple-choice question, as long as the King of Korea is not a fool, he will know what to choose."
"Mr. Yan, do you think I'm cruel sometimes?" Tang Jian asked.
"What the president is referring to letting North Korea surrender?" Yan Fu said.
Tang Jian nodded: "Actually, the Japanese will have to deal with it sooner or later. This time we have a bit of a robbery. It's in it."
Yan Fu shook his head: "In fact, the president does not need to blame himself. In the face of personal emotions, the national interests are the greatest. Moreover, after North Korea surrenders to China, North Korea may be better in the future than it is now."
After hearing Yan Fu's words, Tang Jian felt relieved, and the guilt in his heart was slightly relieved.
"Oh, by the way, Mr. Yan, please let the veteran General Nie Shicheng prepare for the war in advance!" Tang Jian said.
"Is the president going to send troops to North Korea?" Yan Fu asked.
"Haha, it's not that fast yet! The slower you make General Nie prepare, the better. It's best to show the illusion of insufficient troops." A wise light flashed in Tang Jian's eyes.
"Oh, by the way, I'm going to let the Army General collect all the guns and ammunition that have been lagging behind and eliminated in various places but can still be used. I'm useful." Tang Jian added.
Yan Fu asked: "The president means that even if he agrees to help North Korea, he will not send troops immediately. So are these backward guns and ammunition required to be provided to North Korea?"
Tang Jian nodded: "I will not just joke about the lives of Chinese soldiers. I will delay the time of sending troops. I will use these backward weapons, guns and ammunition to equip the rebels in North Korea, first let them fight against the Japanese army first. After consuming the morale and strength of the Japanese army, China will send troops and then annihilate the Japanese army in North Korea in one fell swoop! You have also said that in the face of personal emotions, the national interests are the greatest, so I have to sacrifice some Korean rebels first in exchange for the smallest casualties of Chinese soldiers."
Tang Jian sighed heavily in his heart: "It's not that I'm too cruel, it's just because I'm a Chinese, let alone the President of China. Li Aiyan, I hope you don't resent me."
