The Life of a Son-in-Law in a Courtyard House

At this time, the Yue Kingdom was divided into two countries: the Southern Yue Kingdom, which was established with the support of Western countries, and the Northern Yue Kingdom, which we supported.

They would not unify the country for another ten years or so, with the support of us and the Russians.

There is also a country like Singapore, where the majority of the population is Chinese, but the Chinese there are not friendly to China.

Not all Chinese people deserve substantial aid.

Yang Dalin even envisioned establishing a nation in Java with a predominantly Chinese population.

Moreover, one must always maintain close ties with China. Even if threatened by the United States and the Soviet Union and unable to do so openly, one can still maintain close ties with China secretly.

We can't be like Lijiapo, which, it seems, isn't independent yet.

He won't be independent until the year after next.

We can get involved then.

Although the domestic navy is not yet capable of controlling the Strait of Malacca.

However, a strategy of using one wolf to devour another can be employed.

For example, the newly established Singapore and the newly established Java, mainly inhabited by Chinese, invited the Russian fleet to set up camp. You can see how anxious the British and the United States are.

They'll definitely argue themselves to the death then.

Meanwhile, China was undergoing a period of vigorous development.

Once the Russians collapse, our Dragon Country can take over these spheres of influence.

It's better to let the Russian navy take the lead now and engage in a war of words with the US and the UK.

Who told you, you Russian, to like being the boss?

If I don't contact you, who else should I contact?

At that time, the Philippines will have a military base belonging to the United States, and Java and Singapore will have military bases belonging to Russia.

The Bald Eagles will absolutely prevent them from heading north.

It doesn't pose much of a threat to our coastal areas.

Let them stand their ground for decades.

We'll leave China decades of rapid development, and build up our navy decades ahead of schedule.

Director Hou did not ask Yang Dalin about whether the support was free or not; he planned to ask later.

He first asked, "We can easily talk about the situation in North Vietnam, but how can we ensure that our personnel can safely reach the southernmost port in South Vietnam after passing through North Vietnam?"

Even if people secretly crossed the land of North Vietnam and reached the South Vietnam border, how would ships from Java safely transport them by sea?

That's the primary issue to consider!

There are quite a few Western naval warships over there.

If we encounter an inspection by a US Navy ship, we'll be in trouble.

And what about the supplies of firearms, ammunition, and other provisions? How do we ensure they are supplied and transported by sea without being inspected?

Yang Dalin actually had his own plans, but there were some things he couldn't say directly. For example, after the personnel arrived in South Vietnam, they could board a seagoing ship mainly operated by the White Eagles.

The flag flying was that of the bald eagle.

These things can actually be done simply by spending money.

Furthermore, these captains could all be controlled by shipping companies controlled by Yang Dalin.

They're not transporting weapons or ammunition, so what are they afraid of being investigated for?

If you encounter an inspection, just give them some money.

As for weapons, supplies, and ammunition, Java didn't actually transport them themselves.

Yang Dalin planned to use his spatial abilities to transport it there.

What can the bald eagle find out?

Of course, he couldn't say these things out loud; he needed to come up with a reasonable explanation to convince Director Hou.

Otherwise, it wouldn't be easy to fool Director Hou.

The plan must be reasonable.

Yang Dalin explained, half-truthfully, "Director, once the personnel are there, just have Java pay for them to be transported by bald eagle merchants' ships under the pretext of needing to hire workers. As long as these people are paid, and no weapons are transported, they'll think they're cheap farmers hired by plantations in the south, so the checks won't be too strict."

You can give them some money along the way.

Then we'll have the soldiers learn a few phrases of the South Vietnamese dialect and pretend they're South Vietnamese refugees who want to go to Java to make money.

As for weapons, ammunition, and supplies, I'll figure it out. We'll find a John Bull merchant ship in Hong Kong and take a detour through the east of the Philippines, avoiding the South China Sea. There are many islands there, so we can unload the cargo on any small island.

The top layer of cargo will be camouflaged. The bald eagle mainly focuses on the South China Sea. They generally won't pay attention to merchant ships from their allies in the east, so don't worry.

When I came back from Hong Kong Island earlier, I had already tried arranging a ferry, and it was very safe.

On the vast ocean, not a single shadow of the bald eagle's fleet could be seen!

"Really? You've already tried it?"

How did you manage to contact them?

"Use the radio I gave you?"

"No, it's an international commercial radio station used in Hong Kong Island."

They let me know they arrived safely.

"You little rascal, you've got a deep plan, haven't you?"

Why didn't you say so last time?

"I don't know if it will work. If it doesn't succeed, I certainly won't dare to mention it to you."

"Okay, this won't happen again. In the future, report these things in advance."

"Yes, I understand."

"And why do you advocate giving Java a discount, but charge a fee, instead of providing free aid?"

After all, the overseas Chinese in Java helped us a lot during the War of Resistance against Japan.

They donated money and goods; isn't it inappropriate for us to accept money from them?

Yang Dalin came from a later era, and his ideas are somewhat different from those of people today.

It always carries the business thinking of later generations.

However, having a business mindset is also good.

After all, China is not wealthy right now.

Don't let your help in the past lead to the emergence of several ungrateful people.

Yang Dalin patiently explained to Director Hou: "Director, they helped us back then, so it's only right that we help them back."

However, you should consider the actual situation in our country.

If we were as rich as the bald eagle, I wouldn't say anything more.

However, people in our country are not yet wealthy, and we have just experienced three years of natural disasters.

We can't just starve ourselves and keep helping them for free, can we?

I heard from my Indonesian language teacher, Ms. Xiong, that there are only about 300 million Chinese people there now.

Most of them were businessmen and plantation owners.

They are somewhat wealthier than ordinary people in our country.

There's no mention of hungry poor people constantly helping rich people for free.

Of course, they are hardworking and diligent, unlike the lazy Javanese indigenous people who are unwilling to work.

Their wealth was accumulated little by little.

It did not come from exploitation.

We can offer discounts, we can give some things away for free, but if it's always free, our domestic population can't keep up, can they?

After all, it wasn't three thousand people, but three hundred.

This is three million.

Even if we bring all three million people back, do we have enough land and food to feed them?

They're back, but they can't do business anymore. What should we do?

We can only bring back a portion of them; for the rest, those who are unwilling to give up their family businesses, we must support their struggle.

Besides, the Communist Party of India isn't entirely made up of Chinese; there are many other ethnic groups among them. Those people didn't help us much during the War of Resistance against Japan, so why should we keep helping them for free?

We also need to consider our future relationship. Just like our old Russian big brother, we also fell out because of some ideologies, and then they told us to pay back the money in advance.

This proves that there are only eternal interests between nations.

So, supporting our overseas Chinese can be free, or we can charge less, or we can offer a discount, but it's not appropriate to support the Communist Party of India there for free. This is helping them build their country, and we can't accept it being free all the time.

What if they later disagree with our ideas too?
