However, Asia has a large territory and a large population. As long as it develops, it will have no problem confronting Europe and the United States.But the development of the Asian economy must revolve around China and must be led by China.

"it is good."

"What about Sumatra?"

Regarding the establishment of a new Asian economic order, financial order, new monetary policy, and how to restore the Asian economy after the war, the enlarged meeting of the Supreme Committee held discussions one by one.

A general policy has been established.

The details need to go back to each department for more discussions, and more details need to be added.

After the enlarged meeting of the Supreme Council, the leaders of various departments left.Only a few leaders of the Supreme Committee are left, because the Supreme Committee still has to discuss more issues, and there are many important issues that have not been resolved.Of course, these issues are not yet suitable for public discussion at this stage, and are relatively sensitive issues.Only when the decision of the Supreme Committee meeting is made will it be announced or discussed in an enlarged meeting.

Sumatra is the first to be discussed.

The current situation in Sumatra is rather embarrassing because his political status has not been decided.Sumatra is neither an independent country, nor is it part of Indonesia or Malaysia, nor is it incorporated into China.

The status is undecided, but it has always been under the control of China.But it cannot be said that this is a Chinese colony, because 90% of the population of Sumatra Island are overseas Chinese who came here from the mainland of China in the past ten years.They all regarded this as China, and even when the Sino-Japanese War broke out, they all enthusiastically signed up to join the army.In their hearts, Sumatra Island is not a foreign country, but it is China's territory.

But precisely because of the undecided status, there are still many controversies in many aspects.

It's been procrastinating before, but not anymore.

With the end of the Second World War, many issues must be clarified, and we must not be so unclear.Duan Xun is also hesitating about what to do in Sumatra.Let Sumatra Island become the territory of Indonesia or Malaysia, this is something Duan Xun will not consider.

Especially Indonesia.

Historically, Indonesia was a big country with a population of more than 2 million.China is not allowed to have such a big country in Asia, so Duan Xun of Sumatra will never be returned to Indonesia.

Duan Xun is now considering two options.

One is to make Sumatra independent and become a special independent country, and make Sumatra a protectorate of China.Many policies that cannot be implemented in China, or other things, can be accomplished in Sumatra.

The other is to swallow Sumatra directly and make it a province of China.Not to mention such benefits, it is a good thing to expand the territory, not to mention that the area of ​​Sumatra is more than 40 square kilometers.Not to mention that Sumatra is not one of those uninhabited, uninhabited territories newly reclaimed by the Far East.Sumatra is already a relatively wealthy place in Asia.It can accommodate a large number of people, it is also rich in resources, and it is directly adjacent to the sea. It is a place that can be greatly developed in the future.

With these two options, Duan Xun has always been hesitant.

Merging directly has the benefits of merging, and making Sumatra independent has the benefits of being independent.I haven't decided before, but now I have to make up my mind.But such a big matter, Duan Xun is not easy to decide by himself, it must be decided in the Supreme Committee.

"Chairman, I don't think there is anything to discuss about this."

Li Jishen spoke.

Said: "Chairman, look at the location of Sumatra Island. Sumatra Island is adjacent to the Strait of Malacca, and the Strait of Malacca is an important passage connecting the Indian Ocean and the Pacific Ocean, and an important passage from West Asia to East Asia. From a military point of view, the value is very high. Once there is something When things happened, we cut off the Strait of Malacca, which directly cut off foreign military forces. More importantly, in the treaty we signed with Myanmar, the Andaman Islands and the Nicobar Islands will become important naval bases for our country. With Sumatra Islands, plus the Andaman Islands and the Nicobar Islands, we can not only control the Strait of Malacca, but also directly intervene in the Indian Ocean. This is the external situation.”

"Internally, with the Sumatra Island, together with the islands we control in the South China Sea, we can directly deter Malaysia, Guawa Island, and Kalimantan Island. As long as Sumatra Island is controlled, these places will depend on our country's face at any time. .”

Li Jishen was thinking about military aspects.

Sumatra is of high military value.Once the naval forces are deployed here, the advance can affect the Indian Sea, and the retreat can deter some surrounding countries.Therefore, Li Jishen's meaning is very simple, the best thing is to make Sumatra Island his own territory.

If it is in other ways, then China will not have the convenience of its own territory if it wants to deploy troops here.Only one's own territory can deploy troops at will.

Duan Xun nodded slightly.

But he didn't make a statement, but looked at Dai Kan.Dai Kan said: "I agree with Vice Chairman Li (Li Jishen). From an economic point of view, the value of Sumatra Island is higher. Not to mention that Sumatra Island itself is a country rich in resources, and its geographical location is very good. It is a natural In addition, we have established a RMB settlement center in Palembang, Sumatra. In recent years, Palembang has concentrated a large amount of funds and has become a financial center in this area. With the development of the Asian economy, or with the development of world trade Sumatra Island will be more developed than it is now, and its wealth will be more concentrated in the future. And in the future, China's trade with West Asia, Europe, and Africa will develop, and a large number of goods will pass through the Strait of Malacca. At that time, the role of Sumatra Island will become more and more important. "

From an economic perspective, Sumatra is very advantageous.

Sumatra has oil fields, natural gas, and many other resources that are needed for industrial development.Not only these resources, Sumatra also has many tropical agricultural products, which can also supply Asian countries.More importantly, Sumatra can easily become a trade center because of its good location.Not to mention that the current RMB settlement center is located in Sumatra.

Let Palembang quickly become a financial center.

This is just the beginning.

In the future, as the renminbi becomes the base currency in Asia, the supply of renminbi will increase rapidly.The circulation of renminbi in Asian countries will be more frequent, and the status of Sumatra will be higher by then.

Therefore, economically speaking, Sumatra has more advantages in becoming a province of China.

Everyone cares about profit.

As for whether swallowing Sumatra is a violation of international morality, it is not within the scope of everyone's consideration.Because as long as there are enough interests, there can be a lot of excuses.

"I also agree with the opinions of Vice Chairman Dai (Dai Kan) and Vice Chairman Li (Li Jishen)."

Yang Wei spoke.

Said: "No one can guarantee the future. If Sumatra is allowed to be independent, then according to the current situation, he will follow us for a period of time in the future. Because in a short period of time, Sumatra cannot do without the support of our country. But as Sumatra gets richer, his thinking will change. He will not be satisfied with being our country's puppet government, and will not be satisfied with only obeying our country's status as a slave state. This is very likely. Sumatra is rich Together with their geographical location, in order to get rid of our country, it is very likely that they will invest in European and American countries. If there is no direct jurisdiction, how Sumatra will choose in the future is unpredictable. Once Sumatra deviates from our country, the damage to our country will be great It is very large and will greatly affect our country's deployment here and our country's interests here. Only by incorporating Sumatra into our country and becoming a province of our country. We accept the leadership of the central government in military, diplomatic and administrative terms. Sumatra Island will not be separated from our country, and there will be no things that affect our country’s interests. We can also build Sumatra Island with confidence and boldness.”

"And now is the last chance. I think everyone knows how powerful our country's nuclear weapons are. It is not impossible for a nuclear weapon to destroy a city. But this kind of weapon is not a special product for our country, and the United States also In the process of research and development. When the war is over, major countries such as Britain, France, and the Soviet Union will definitely step up their research and development. By then, everyone will have such powerful nuclear weapons. What will happen to the world? There are two possibilities, one is that there will be another world war, and then it will be In a nuclear war, everyone will destroy together. Either everyone is jealous of each other, especially those countries with nuclear weapons, which will prevent the occurrence of a world war between major powers."

"Moreover, the colonial system is collapsing, and our country has always been an anti-colonial country. Therefore, the situation in which countries attacked each other for the sake of territory and colonies in the past will be condemned by the international community. It is precisely because of this that it will be difficult to occupy other countries' territories in the future. Therefore, now is our country's last chance, the last chance to change our country's territory. If we lose this chance, we will never have such a golden opportunity. It just happens that the war in Europe is not over yet, and Britain, the United States and the Soviet Union Their attention is still in Europe, and we will complete the integration of Sumatra into our country as soon as possible. In fact, the administration, military, and diplomacy of Sumatra are all under the control of our country, and the officials of the entire administrative system are also appointed by our government. .So change is easy."

Duan Xun nodded.

World War II was indeed the last chance.

If it weren't for this war, how could China have won the northern part of Vietnam, and how could it have had the opportunity to annex Sumatra.As long as this period of time has passed and the world situation stabilizes, it will be impossible to annex some places like this.

Now is the best chance.

Seeing that everyone else supported the swallowing of Sumatra Island, Duan Xun said: "I understand everyone's opinions. Since everyone agrees, then I don't want to delay the time. While the European battlefield is not over yet, Britain, the United States and the Soviet Union are not paying attention. Here is an opportunity to solve this problem as soon as possible. Vice Chairman Wang (Wang Jingwei), you are responsible for this matter. After you are ready, push forward the referendum on Sumatra."

"Yes."

Duan Xun also let out a long sigh of relief.

The issue of Sumatra Island can be regarded as officially resolved, and Sumatra Island will soon become a province of China.As for the result of the referendum, there is no need for China to play tricks.Because the people in Sumatra are all Chinese.

"Next, let's talk about the issue of the Supreme Council."

778

"Next, let's talk about the issue of the Supreme Council."

After talking about Sumatra, Duan Xun started the second topic.

Opening your mouth is a matter for the Supreme Council.

"I have received proposals from many people about the abolition of the Supreme Council. I think you have also received a lot of such suggestions. Since there are many voices like this, let's discuss the abolition of the Supreme Council now. .”

wartime mechanism.

The Supreme Council is a typical wartime mechanism, establishing a highly centralized organization that is all for war.However, it is precisely because of this reason that the Supreme Council has very great power, and basically there is no check.Now the Far East War is over, and the entire Second World War is also coming to an end.
