political influence.

The Chinese Federation was established, and what Duan Xun wanted was political influence.China has been bullied too hard in modern history, and was bullied by those world powers in turn. As a result, it lost one protectorate after another, became the "sick man of East Asia", and became a laughing stock among world powers.Now that China's strength has risen, it needs to restore its previous status and restore its status in Asia.This requires expanding political influence.

The Chinese Federation is for this purpose.

With the establishment of the Chinese Federation this time, there will be five countries in one go.And this is just the beginning. As long as China is strong, the surrounding countries will definitely join in.Countries including Vietnam, Luang Prabang, Champasak, and Cambodia that are currently in contact with China are very likely to enter the Chinese Federation.

Even in the future, Indonesia and Malaysia can be won.

After all, China has been the leader in Asia for thousands of years, and has had deep exchanges with countries in East Asia and Southeast Asia.In terms of historical origin, China has had exchanges with these countries for thousands of years.In the past thousands of years, the monarchs in Southeast Asia basically sent envoys to pay tribute.Because China at that time was the celestial kingdom in Asia, the core kingdom of Asia.

So if we can unite these countries and let them join the Chinese Federation, then let alone the influence in Asia, the right to speak in the world will be greatly increased.The strength of the United Kingdom declined rapidly, but they were very clever and created the Commonwealth of Nations.Utilizing the Commonwealth, Britain remains a world power.So Duan Xun was very happy when he heard that the negotiation in Kunming was successful.

The Chinese Federation can be established.

Hideki Tojo was right.

The Federation of China is not a military alliance or a military group.The countries participating in the Chinese Federation have their own independent rights in national defense and foreign affairs.Even if the Chinese Federation is established, it will not directly intervene in their national defense and their diplomacy, because it has not been given such power.But there are more cooperations in other areas, starting from finance, trade issues, tariff issues, education issues, and construction issues.

China has gained many benefits.

Just like in terms of monetary policy, the Chinese Federation has determined that the Chinese Renminbi will be used as the trade settlement currency of the countries of the Chinese Federation, and a RMB settlement system will be created.Established the current bulk commodity RMB settlement system of the China Federation and handed it over to Overseas Chinese Bank for establishment.That is to say, the bank settlement systems of several countries in the Chinese Federation must go through the Overseas Chinese Bank in the middle to allow the RMB to flow.This has greatly increased the status of OCBC Bank, and greatly enhanced the status of the RMB.

Moreover, it was determined at this meeting that the Chinese Federation will set up a peacekeeping force, the number of which will not be too large, and each country will send out a battalion to a regiment of troops.It is mainly responsible for combating small groups of armed forces that are floating on the borders of various countries, as well as combating those anti-government armed forces.Then it was decided to establish a joint police force, which is to jointly solve crimes.It is also responsible for communicating with the police agencies of various countries.

Of course, China, as the boss, has also made a lot of concessions.

In order to support the development of the Commonwealth of China countries, China plans to establish a China Bank, which will be responsible for issuing low-interest loans to these younger countries.China promised other countries that China would take out 30 billion yuan as the principal of the Bank of China.

But Duan Xun didn't care too much about it.

Again, the problems that money can solve are not big problems. What is 30 billion RMB? If more countries can be attracted to join the Chinese Federation, even 300 billion RMB should be spent.

"Chairman, now there is a question, should the Federation of China establish a permanent institution, and should it be established in Beijing?"

"Chengdu."

Duan Xun shook his head.

Dao: "Our country has a vast territory, so it is impossible to have only one or two central cities. We should develop one or two central cities in each region, so as to drive the development of the surrounding areas together. In our southwestern region, Chengdu, Chongqing , Kunming are the three most important cities. Chengdu radiates Tibet to the west, and influences Southeast Asian countries to the south. It is the political center of our southwest. The permanent organization of the Chinese Federation is established in Chengdu, and every enlarged meeting of the Chinese Federation is also held in Chengdu .”

Duan Xun has very affection for Sichuan.

Because Duan Xun rose up in Sichuan, Sichuan can be regarded as the base of Duan Xun's fortune.Moreover, there are currently a large number of high-ranking officials and generals who have followed Duan Xun from Sichuan in the political arena and in the military.Therefore, Duan Xun is particularly concerned about Sichuan.It is precisely because of Duan Xun's background that Sichuan has gained a lot of benefits in recent years.Among the government investment, a large amount of funds flowed into Sichuan, promoting the development of Sichuan.

Like Chengdu, it is the center of Chinese universities.

How many important universities are in Chengdu.In terms of the development of Chinese universities, Chengdu is an educational center comparable to Beijing and Shanghai.Universities in Chengdu are well-known among Chinese universities. Mathematics, geography, chemistry, and metallurgy are all China's strengths.And because there are so many colleges and universities in Chengdu, so many important national scientific research units are located in Chengdu.

For the atomic bomb, two national-level data centers were established, one of which was located in Chengdu.

And Chongqing.

As an industrial city in China, various large state-level factories are located in Chongqing.Without Duan Xun's support and care, how could all the big investments fall to Chengdu and Chongqing.

However, Duan Xun chose Chengdu this time not because his feelings affected his decision.Instead, Duan Xun hopes that the Southwest will develop and Chengdu will become the political center of the Southwest.Moreover, Chengdu was originally the political center of the southwestern province.

It's not just the southwestern provinces.

In Duan Xun's plan, those areas in China should have some core cities.Just like Shenyang, Changchun, and Harbin in the Northeast, Beijing, Baoding, and Tianjin in North China, and Wuhan and Zhengzhou in the central provinces.There are also the Yangtze River Delta region and the Pearl River Delta region, which are all regional core cities.

"I am in favor of placing the permanent institution of the Chinese Federation in Chengdu."

Dai Kan nodded.

Dai Kan is from Guizhou. To develop Guizhou, the surrounding provinces must be rich, especially the status of Sichuan must continue to improve.And speaking of which, everyone came from the Southwest, and emotionally support the development of the Southwest.So Dai Kan also supports Duan Xun's idea.

"I think the first secretary-general of the Federation of China let Wei Chen's group serve concurrently first, and then consider other people. What do you think?"

"Yes."

They all nodded.

At present, there are not a few high-ranking people in the Southwest political arena, but the Wei Chen group is the most suitable to be in charge of this organization.In fact, He Fengshan is also very suitable for this position, but He Fengshan's rank is still too low.After a few years, it would be appropriate to hand over this position to He Fengshan.

"Then this matter is settled like this. Vice Chairman Wang is in charge of the specific establishment of the Chinese Federation, and other departments will cooperate with you. But you must know that this organization is not a government department under our government department, so you can invite Some non-government personnel participated. Including some university professors, they can also go here to exercise. Maybe it will be more helpful to their teaching work.”

"Yes."

"What progress is there for Wei Chen's group?"

Duan Xun asked Wei Chen's team to leave the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and go to the southwest as a special envoy, not just for the affairs of the Chinese Federation.Duan Xun asked Wei Chen's team to go to the southwest, more to let him know about things in India.

"After he went to Kunming, he has been in contact with various states and ethnic groups in India. He really learned a lot of things that we didn't know before. After the British came to Asia, many kingdoms around India were reduced to British colonies, or the British protectorate of the Indians. Some of them were absorbed into British India, and some were led by British India."

"We have made some classifications. The current situation in India is that there are some countries that are semi-independent. Although they accept the leadership of British India, they should be directly independent because they have always maintained their administrative system. It has always been a Politically independent countries. The status of these countries is similar to that of the current Indonesian Republic, or higher than that of the Indonesian Republic. There are also some countries that were originally independent, but after the British came, they annexed them by force country, and then merged them into British India. The resistance forces in these places are very strong, they don’t think they are part of India, and they don’t have much cooperation with the Congress Party. Their goal is independence. Apart from these In addition to the country, there are many states in India. These are states within a state, some even have their own army, and the administrative power is in the hands of these state monarchs. These states are so powerful that even the British colonists have to coax them them."

Wang Jingwei took out a document and introduced it to everyone.

After Wei Chen's team came to the southwest, the first thing to do was to get familiar with India.Began to strengthen the collection of Indian intelligence.For this purpose, the intelligence collected by the Ministry of Security in Southeast Asia and South Asia must be given to Wei Chen's group.

"Let's start with the current semi-independent countries. The current semi-independent countries around India include Nepal, Bhutan, and Sikkim. These three countries are now nominally independent, but they are under the management of British India. They are semi-independent countries of the United Kingdom. Colonies. These countries are deeply influenced by India, even if the British withdraw from here in the future to make them truly independent. But they are all small countries, and if they do not have the support of strong external forces, then they must listen to India."

Wang Jingwei spread out a map of South Asia and introduced it to several people.

"And these countries lost a lot of their original land during the process of being invaded by Britain. However, these countries are small countries with a small population and weak strength. They dare not claim these territories from India at all. According to our analysis, once the British withdraw, they must be the protectorate of India in the future."

"Ah."

Duan Xun nodded.

India is a big country in South Asia, who dares to offend India among the small countries around it.How did Britain control them in the past, India will also have such influence in the future.What these small countries are most afraid of is that India will destroy them regardless.

"In addition to these three countries, Ceylon (Sri Lanka), an island in southern India, is a colony directly under the British government and does not belong to British India. Therefore, if Ceylon becomes independent in the future, it will not be India's land .Unless the British forcibly incorporated him into India."

"That is to say, the countries in the South Asian continent that are determined to be independent from India include Nepal, Bhutan, Sikkim, and Ceylon."

"Yes."

Wang Jingwei nodded and continued: "Then there are some countries that were forcibly merged into British India by the British."

713

"Then there are some countries that were forcibly merged into India by the British colonists. The biggest conflict with Britain and India is the northeast of British India, which is this place. This place is bordered by Burma to the east, Bhutan to the north, and In the west is the Sultanate of Bangladesh, where Muslims occupy the main position, and in the northwest it borders Sikkim and Nepal. This was originally the Kingdom of Ahong, a country founded by the Assamese, which is what we call the Dai people. They have ruled this area for more than 600 years. It was incorporated into British India by the British more than 100 years ago. However, according to the information we have obtained, the Dai people here have always hoped to establish their own country, so there have been many wars with the British. Here People, they have a deep relationship with Tubo in history, and they have been the vassal of our country from the Yuan Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty. Especially in the northern part of the Ahong Kingdom, many of them have accepted the canonization of our country. Therefore, from the historical and cultural aspects Not much to do with India. If anything, it's a centuries-long war."

"Ahong Kingdom?"

"Yes. The entire Ahong Kingdom covers a large area, about 20 square kilometers in total. This area has the largest number of Dai people, and it is also the area where the resistance is the most intense, with an area of ​​about 8 square kilometers."
