    After asking for autonomy, Yang Qiu patted his butt and took Miao Luo, Xu Xiujun and others on a grand visit to the United States aboard the light cruiser Zhaohe and the two Nevada-class battleships that had been returned to the U.S. Navy.  Since Borneo belongs to the Netherlands, it is time to find the right owner.  As long as the Netherlands is forced to recognize it, there is nothing the UK can do.  "

    "How can this work? The British hold Hong Kong and Singapore. Cheng Biguang said that these two places can control most of Southeast Asia. The British should be asked to come forward."

    "Look for the United States. The United States has Little Luzon."

    "You are stupid, are you as proud as Yang Qiu's feet?"

    "What about France? Didn't it mean that France and Britain are at loggerheads?"

    ¡°¡­¡­.¡±

    The meeting room that was busier than the vegetable market made Wang Zhaoming shake his head. He finally understood how big the gap was between the Democratic Party and the National Socialist Party!  In the past, people like Sun Yat-sen, Huang Keqiang and even Song Jiaoren were unable to grasp the international trend. Yang Qiu, who was dealing with the conflicts between Germany, Britain and the United States, took advantage of the opportunity to reap benefits and rose up.  Now, after being away from the ruling circle for 15 years, the talent gap is even more serious, so much so that even a small regional crisis could not even be discussed for a long time without anyone coming up with a plan.  On the other hand, under the leadership of Yang Qiu, the National Society traveled across Europe and the United States to and from the League of Nations, training young heroes like Wang Zhengting, Murong Han, and Bei Zuyi, and sent tens of thousands of National Society young people overseas to train and learn skills.  If you want to be economical and economical, even if you are painting nudes, there are plenty of them to choose from.

    Next to him, Li Liejun also sighed, and couldn't help but think of Cai E's proposal before his death that the Democratic Party should be the opposition party.  It turns out that old friends have long seen the weak nature of the Democratic Party and know that even if they overthrow the National Socialist Party and come to power, they will not be able to manage the huge China.  That¡¯s why I warned you to be honest and down-to-earth and start by cultivating talents.  Seeing that everyone couldn't make up their mind for a long time, he had no choice but to stand up: "Divide into two groups, Japan and Batavia."

    "Japan? What does Japan have to do with it?"

    As one of the few senior generals in the Democratic Party who participated in the European War and went to Russia to stand alone, Li Liejun's position in the Democratic Party is too special.  Many people have always felt that if it hadn't been for what happened back then, even if they were not as good as Cai E and Yue Peng, they would still be no worse than Wu Peifu and Shi Xiaolou now.  So even when in doubt.  Everyone only dared to say it softly.

    Only Wang Zhaoming nodded secretly and said: "Brother Xia Ru is right. Although Japan has issues with our country, after all, Japan is a close neighbor in Asia and should win their support first."

    Since the two most discerning people agree, the rest will be easy to handle.  It was difficult for the Kuomintang to contact anyone, but it was too easy for Japan. In Batavia, Hu Hanmin took the lead. In the end, just to be safe, everyone recommended Li Liejun to join. After all, he was from the military.  After the decision, Wang Zhaoming immediately reported the plan to the president. Finally, Li Yuanhong simply appointed Wang, Hu and Li to form a plenipotentiary special envoy to go to Batavia to handle the West Borneo crisis.

    ¡°The backbone of the movement has all gone to Batavia, and the Democratic Party, which remains in the country and opposes the constitutional amendment, is even more unable to withstand it.  Minister of Education Zhang Taiyan, Minister of Railways Zhan Tianyou, Chen Guofu and others have expressed their support for the constitutional amendment, especially the three biggest beneficiaries of Yang Qiu's social reform policy, students, workers and representatives of agricultural cooperatives with huge influence among farmers.  Later, the Congress finally passed the capital relocation bill and decided to officially move the capital at the end of 1928. At the same time, the constitutional amendment bill was included in the 1926 Congress work plan, which meant that the 15-year parliamentary system had entered a countdown.

    When Wang Zhaoming went to Batavia as a special envoy, Yang Qiu had also arrived at Honolulu, the first stop of his visit to the United States.

    With the banners fluttering and warships like clouds in Pearl Harbor, whoever sees this scene will probably feel a sense of awe.  The same goes for Yang Qiu. He is not afraid of the Pacific Fleet, but he truly admires the strong manufacturing capabilities of the United States. Only the United States in the world can study more than a dozen unfinished capital ships in one go without batting an eyelid, and they are the only ones in the world.  With more steel production than the next five combined, Ford alone produces more annually than the British and French automobile manufacturers combined.

    Under the planning of Wall Street, the United States has controlled 5 billion of the world's 9 billion US dollars in gold reserves.  Control half of the world's silver reserves!  Even with these years of plunder and data machines, the total domestic manufacturing industry is less than one-sixth of that of the United States, and the high-end manufacturing industry is less than one-tenth!  Moreover, after the war in Europe, the United States has recruited about 700,000 high-level talents. Those people are not Jewish technicians, but scientists and engineers, white elites who can make any country in the world drool!  This is also the reason why Yang Qiu hugged his thigh resolutely.  The talent advantage cannot be solved by stacking blast furnaces. China, which has just harvested the fruits of compulsory education, is completely incomparable in this regard.

    So unless you can make an atomic bomb like a sausage.  Otherwise, he really can't think of a way to defeat this country at the moment.  The only good thing is that there is finally a chance to narrow the gap.

    Yang Qiu envies the strength of the United States. He is tall and fifty years old.Lieutenant General Rodman looked at the two Nevada-class battleships docking at the port and had the urge to order them to be sunk.  Because he didn't want to take back these two battleships at all.  Not to mention that they occupied precious treaty tonnage in vain. After being subjected to high-intensity training by the Chinese Navy for several consecutive years, the wear and tear of the two capital ships has actually seriously exceeded the standard.  It is not possible to dismantle them, because these two battleships were built in 1914, and according to the treaty, they cannot be dismantled and replaced until 1934.

    "It would be great if it could be sunk." After sinking the two battleships several times, Lieutenant General Rodman quickly walked towards Yang Qiu and saluted him: "Welcome to Mr. Vice President, I hope you can be here.  It¡¯s a good start.¡±

    ¡°I am also very happy to come to Honolulu, and I hope that under your leadership, this fleet can become an important force in maintaining peace in the Pacific.¡±

    After exchanging a few words, Luo Demen accompanied Yang Qiu and Miao Luo to review the entire fleet.  The well-organized docks, docks and storage facilities in the harbor left a deep impression on people.  But what he expected was that Rodman didn't even mention a word about the tense situation in the South China Sea, as if the Pacific Fleet was on vacation.

    After arriving at the hotel and opening the window, the entire Pearl Harbor was in full view.  The modern atmosphere that hit his face made Yang Qiu seem to have returned to the past. He turned around and asked, "Are you envious?"

    In addition to people from the business community such as Xu Xiujun and Bei Zuyi who accompanied him on this visit.  There is also Byung Moon as a representative of the Navy.  As a naval man, he was attracted by Pearl Harbor as soon as he entered the waterway. He nodded solemnly: "A world-class port, located in a choke point that is easy to defend and difficult to attack. If only we had been born twenty years earlier"

    "Even if we were born twenty years earlier, Lafayette would not have given you Beiyang to cross the ocean and build a small island country." Yang Qiu smiled, stretched out and rested his hands on the railing.  Suddenly asked: "By the way, I asked you to send someone to Guam last time. What did you say?"

    Bingwen didn't expect that he would ask about Guam now. Fortunately, he has been paying attention to the changes in the Pacific in the past few years. He introduced: "As you guessed, the United States didn't bother to take care of it after the occupation. There was only one coaling station with about 20 American sailors.  The guards are rotated, and no officials are even sent. Most of the people on the island are Japanese now, who make a living by growing sugar cane and digging guano. I looked at the location of the harbor you mentioned. The water is deep enough, but there are piles of rocks around it. Just cleaning it will take a long time.  It will take a year or two, and the waterway entrance is also very narrow and needs blasting to widen it."

    Xu Xiujun was very curious about the conversation between the two. She didn't understand why Yang Qiu was so interested in a small island, so he interrupted: "Vice President, what's the secret of Guam?"

    There is no mystery about Guam now. At this moment, its strategic position is far inferior to Luzon and Rabaul, and even the US Navy itself does not like it.  Guam didn¡¯t really gain attention until World War II, but its development didn¡¯t come until after the war. It was because the U.S. military faced the embarrassment of withdrawing from the Philippines after the war and had no place to stay before turning it into a military base. So Yang Qiu smiled: ¡°You said, we  How about buying Guam?¡±

    ¡°BuyGuam?!¡±

    Xu Xiujun felt that his brain was not enough for such fantastic ideas, and even Bingwen felt that it was unnecessary.  Because Guam is too far away, and it is right under the eyes of Japanese-occupied Rabaul and Guinea, even a pile of battleships may not be able to hold it.  In terms of strategic location, instead of buying Guam, it is better to fight to the death with the United Kingdom and capture the Natuna Islands under the jurisdiction of West Borneo, so that the entire South China Sea can be controlled.

    Bei Zuyi was very interested in this proposal, but before he could speak, Murong Han, who was accompanying him on the trip, walked in: "Vice President, I just received the telegram. President Li has appointed Wang Zhaoming, Hu Hanmin and Li Liejun as special envoys to Paris.  They also sent people to Japan to seek support during negotiations with Davia. Hu Hanmin also met with representatives of the Poor Party yesterday and had a long discussion before leaving."

    After listening, the corner of Yang Qiu's mouth curled up unnoticed, but soon disappeared, and he said: "Immediately send a report to Ziqing and ask him to remind Wang Huzi After Japan and the Poor Party intervened, the British  Maybe he will take risks!"

    *******

    PS: I¡¯ll take a day off tomorrow.

    I received a call while typing just now. Hippo¡¯s grandfather passed away an hour ago.

    ¡°In fact, I can¡¯t tell how sad it is. After all, he has been tortured on the hospital bed for three years, and he has issued many critical illness notices.  Whenever I think about him being devastated by piles of pills, radiotherapy and chemotherapy, and having several surgeries at the age of ninety, I feel that maybe leaving is a relief.

    I hope my grandpa will have a good journey!  !

    I have to attend a funeral tomorrow, sorry
