Although Wang Ze very much wanted to announce to the world that they had shot down an American plane, considering the delicate international relationship between himself and the United States, many decisions were not made at will.

Currently, South China is actively integrating ASEAN countries, and it is not appropriate for this incident to disrupt the overall plan.

Therefore, Nan Hua did not release any external news, and the United States seemed to know nothing about the plane being shot down, and economic exchanges between the two sides continued as usual.

In addition, radar station construction projects in various countries have also been fully launched.

However, this project is no longer constructed by each country on its own. Instead, Nanhua directly dispatches a professional team with technical personnel and security bureau members to various places to recruit workers and supervise the construction progress.

If the construction task is left to each country to handle on its own, Wang Ze is worried that it may not be completed after several years.

Nanhua was fully prepared to fight the United States, but he didn't expect it to be over like this, which made him very surprised.

After learning more about it, I realized why. With the change of the US presidential term, John became the 35th President of the United States.

With his rise to power, the United States' focus once again shifted back to the Soviet Union, with a particular emphasis on catching up in the field of space technology.

At the same time, Carter, the new US ambassador to Warsaw, also began contact with Wang Jixin and Wang Ze.

Carter first explained the previous reconnaissance activities against Nanhua, saying that these were things that happened during Eisen's administration, and John had ordered the military to stop all actions against Nanhua.

In addition, John also stated that he would keep the promise he made to Nan Hua and hand over Singapore and Phu Quoc Island to Nan Hua.

“How to transfer it?” Wang Ze asked curiously.

"Singapore will hold a referendum to decide whether to join South China; and as for Phu Quoc Island, we will urge the South Vietnamese government to sign an agreement and directly incorporate it into the territory of South China." Carter replied.

Hearing this answer, Wang Ze couldn't help but feel a sense of vigilance.

He realized that the United States' intentions were not simple, and if these two regions were taken over by South China, it would first have a negative impact on relations with Malaya.

If Phu Quoc Island belonged to South China, even through an agreement signed by South Vietnam, it would inevitably cause tensions with South Vietnam, North Vietnam and Cambodia.

Cambodia has raised the issue of the ownership of Phu Quoc Island. If South China takes it away, it will definitely have some ideas.

The United States probably no longer has the confidence to control ASEAN affairs, and will interfere regardless.

Wang Ze never thought that the United States would actually bring up what he said a few years ago.

So he did not agree directly. This matter was still too sensitive. If it was before ASEAN was established, he would have agreed without saying a word.

But now that ASEAN has been established, and South China is still a dominant force within it, this kind of internal expansion cannot be done as we please as before.

This is how the Soviet Union played its cards. Instead of developing the economies of various countries, it always resorted to military force and put pressure on its member states and allies, causing panic in the member states and some of them even to withdraw from the Soviet camp.

After discussing with Wang Jixin, Nanhua responded quickly and sent delegations to Malaya and Cambodia respectively.

They came with a clear mission: to explain the situation in detail to the two governments and convey South China's position and attitude.

Although this matter has no direct connection with Malaysia and Cambodia, Nanhua is well aware of the importance of maintaining regional stability and unity.

Therefore, in order to take care of the interests of ASEAN member states, Nan Hua promised to build a large oil refinery in Malaya.

On the Cambodian side, Nan Hua representatives personally met with the country's Prime Minister Norodom Sihanouk.

They made an attractive offer: South China was willing to provide Cambodia with an interest-free loan to help it purchase modern weapons and equipment.

In exchange, Cambodia needs to remain silent and no longer mention the Phu Quoc Island issue.

For Sihanouk, this was a difficult decision.

However, after careful consideration, he finally agreed.

In his opinion, it is better to let Nan Hua manage Phu Quoc Island than to let it fall into the hands of Vietnam.

And being able to obtain advanced weapons and equipment is also a good deal.

Through South China's active diplomatic efforts, incidents that might have caused internal conflicts within ASEAN were properly resolved.

Afterwards, Wang Jixin met with the US ambassador and had further discussions on the merger of the two places.

After negotiations, the price Nanhua paid was that it agreed to purchase Nanhua batteries with US dollars and cooperate in space technology.

Although American batteries have made certain improvements by learning from Nanhua's technology, they are still inferior to batteries produced by Nanhua in terms of both capacity and safety.

Besides, this is also a very good business. Buy with US dollars and then sell it to other countries at a high price.

The United States acted quickly. Li Yaoguang from Singapore arrived at Xincheng first and chatted with Wang Jixin for an afternoon before leaving.

Wang Jixin promised that there would be no major changes to Singapore's officials, and after the merger, Lee Yaoguang would become the mayor of Singapore.

A few days later, Singapore held a referendum. When the local people heard that they could join Nan Hua and would become Nan Hua people in the future, they all ran to vote in favor.

In the end, with 96% of the votes in favor, Singapore decided to join the South China Republic.

After Singapore joined, the population of South China exceeded 10 million.

The merger had just taken place and Nan Hua had not yet sorted out the situation in Singapore.

A large number of orders from the United States were sent to the Nanhua Battery Factory.

Faced with such a huge order, Nanhua Battery Factory decided to expand after reporting.

It is now convenient to recruit people, as we can recruit directly in Singapore.

Nanhua’s treatment became known to everyone at once, and many low-income Chinese people only then knew about the good benefits of the Nanhua factory.

After the battery factory successfully recruited and expanded, the factory leaders of the New Town Industrial Zone could no longer sit still and each of them thought of recruiting in Singapore for the expansion plan.

A large number of applications received Ma Qi's hands.

Ma Qi immediately rejected most of these applications and only agreed to expansion recruitment for a small number of manufacturers.

In Ma Qi's opinion, many factories did not need to be expanded at all, but he knew the patriarch's plan.

Some low value-added industries will be transferred out, and only a small amount of production capacity will be retained in Nanhua.

If we expand them one by one now, what is the need for relocation in the future?

But when it comes to transferring the industrial chain, Ma Qi looks helpless.

The countries are moving too slowly. After such a long time, they are still fighting among themselves for their respective family shares.

Even though he urged them several times, it was useless. They couldn't even level the land and build a factory. Ma Qi didn't know whether the patriarch's idea could be realized.

In his opinion, the people in these Southeast Asian countries are all extremely lazy, as shown in the reports sent back by the technical personnel sent out from various countries.

These local workers sent here to learn have no operating regulations to speak of. They just do whatever they want and are difficult to manage.

Because the management rights of these factories are given to various countries, he cannot be too tough.

Faced with complaints from the dispatched technical personnel, the only option was to arrange for rotation after one year.

The factory applications were rejected and the factory managers were very disappointed. Even after Ma Qi gave an explanation, they were not convinced.
