Li Zhen was silent for a long time and said: "The five-year plan has been put on the agenda and cannot be interrupted. No matter what happens, it will be based on domestic development and the development of the people first. However, what we get is It cannot be given up, and it must be held tightly in hand.”
Peng Yulin said: "Does the president want to catch both?"
"certainly."
Li Zhen nodded and said seriously.
Zeng Guofan said worriedly: "Since we have to do something, there must be a priority." Although he had already received confirmation from Li Zhen, Zeng Guofan's cautious character prompted him to ask again.
Li Zhen replied: "Brother Bohan, don't worry, we will focus on domestic affairs first, followed by foreign affairs."
Zeng Guofan nodded and felt relieved.
Li Zhen thought for a long time and said: "It is impossible to win India, the East Indies or other places without war, but we can operate flexibly and adopt a strategy of supporting puppets and supplementing it with our own strength. This strategy can maximize the Reduce the possibility of using force, but such a strategy will test the ability of those responsible for going to India or other places. Without sufficient adaptability and intelligence, and without a sharp tongue, it will definitely be difficult or even fail miserably."
Zeng Guofan didn't even think about it and said: "I agree with the strategy of supporting local forces, subduing others without fighting, or using local forces to achieve control. This is the best choice."
Peng Yulin said: "In this case, the candidate must be determined as soon as possible."
Li Zhen also agreed with Peng Yulin's statement and said loudly: "The areas that need to be taken over currently include the area south of Lake Baikal, as well as India, the East Indies, Cambodia, Laos and other countries that need people to take care of them. Among them, the area bordering Tsarist Russia The Lake Baikal area is the focus, and India and the East Indies are also important locations. The strategic location is quite important, and strong people are needed to control the situation. In my opinion, people must be transferred from the Ministry of National Defense to complete the task."
Just then, there was a knock on the door outside the room.
"Come in."
The door opened and the guard next to Li Zhen walked in.
The guard saluted respectfully and said: "President, prisoners from all over the world want to see you."
"Can,."
Li Zhen nodded and said: "Please come to the living room. I will meet them in the living room."
"yes."
After the guard left, Li Zhen said: "The five-year plan and the arrangements for the candidates in various places will be discussed after you go down. At the same time, the candidates will be notified to the heads of each department. They will be carefully considered. I estimate that all countries will The negotiating team and officials from various countries will leave, so they met with me. As for the Netherlands, Denmark and other countries that originally agreed to sign the treaty, Britain, France, the United States, and Russia signed the treaty. They should also make a decision, not just verbally. Agreement, start signing a treaty with them immediately to avoid any complications."
Peng Yulin and Zeng Guofan nodded with serious expressions on their faces.
The three people left the office, Peng Yulin and Zeng Guofan left the presidential palace, and Li Zhen went to the living room.
In the hall, the staff of the Presidential Palace began to make arrangements.
There were quite a few people here this time, including the former British Governor of Hong Kong, Robinson, the British Commander Adams, the French Commander Russell and other lieutenant generals, as well as the British envoy Gobard, the French envoy Frankfort, etc. There were many envoys and officials from various countries, and even the British and French generals who were captured during the Battle of the Hawaiian Islands. Almost all high-level officials came.
It didn't take long before envoys and commanders from various countries entered one after another.
After everyone arrived, Li Zhencai walked in.
Li Zhen glanced roughly, with a strange look on his eyebrows, because the people who came were all captives. Temple, Muravyov and other negotiating team officials from various countries did not appear. Under normal circumstances, Temple As Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, Seward is the Secretary of State of the United States, and Muravyov is the Governor-General of Tsarist Russia. These people have high status and represent their respective countries. They should all appear, but it is very strange that none of them showed up.
After Li Zhen took his seat, he smiled and said, "Congratulations to all of you for your successful return to the country."
Robinson smiled softly and said calmly: "If we can return to the country, President Lee will also succeed."
Li Zhen said: "Everyone is happy with each other."
When Gobard looked at Li Zhen, he said with a hint of flattery: "It is our honor to fight against President Li. President Li is so powerful. No matter what happens, he can turn danger into good. Even if the Northern Tsarist Russia develops Even with new weapons, President Lee can easily solve the problem. President Lee is in China, which is really a misfortune for all countries."
"Your Excellency, you have given me the award."
Li Zhen looked modest on the surface and answered with a smile.
Frankfurt seemed a little excited and said: "President Lee has obtained the French territory in the south. China's national strength has once again increased. After careful calculation, China's territory extends from Lake Baikal in the north to the East Indies in the south, almost stretching across the country. Spanning the north and south, its territory is vast and its strength is strong. China today is just like President Lee, who is still in his prime."
"Your Excellency is overly complimentary."
Li Zhen shook his head slightly again.
At the same time, something strange arose in his heart.
U.S. federal envoy Ma Hui smiled and continued: "China's national power is so strong that no country in the world can compete with it. China today is like the Han and Tang Dynasties in the past, ranking first in the world. center."
Those words were flattering again.
Li Zhen would not be complacent and said humbly: "Your Majesty Ma Hui has given you too much praise."
"What do these guys want to do?"
Li Zhen felt strange because these guys kept pouring ecstasy soup into him.
Seeing that Li Zhen was as calm as ever, Ma Hui frowned and continued: "China's strength has greatly increased. With today's national strength, I am afraid that President Li will follow the example of the emperors of the Han and Tang Dynasties in the past, and expedition beyond the Great Wall to open up frontiers for the country. Soil, make great contributions to the world."
Li Zhen understood instantly in his mind.
He understood the purpose of these people coming.
At the beginning, everyone poured ecstasy soup on Li Zhen, hoping to make him feel happy. Finally, Ma Hui came forward to test Li Zhen's next move, or what the Chinese army would do next, and whether he should continue. send troops.
What all countries care about is China's attitude.
Every move made by China today can already affect the world structure.
Li Zhen was very calm and said unhurriedly: "China is a peace-loving country. China has always developed based on the principle that no one will attack us and we will not attack others. During the Han Dynasty, the famous general Chen Tang said that those who attack the Han Dynasty will surely attack the Han Dynasty no matter how far away they are. Killing actually adheres to the principle of not attacking others unless they attack us. As long as no country invades, the Chinese army will not take the initiative to attack. I have been adhering to this principle during the years I have been in power. Have I ever attacked other countries? No. , not even once, it’s all nuisance and trouble caused by the country of all of you here.”
After a few words, Gobard, Lankfurt and others turned red.
If you think about it carefully, it's true.
Seeing this, Li Zhen continued: "I can say with certainty that China will not invade others once it becomes powerful like some countries. China focuses on the development of the country and does not develop the country by invading and plundering everywhere."
People from all countries present here breathed a sigh of relief.
With Li Zhen's words, the purpose of their trip was achieved.
