Expedition to Europe

If you want to achieve true independence, you cannot place your hopes on the charity of others. The charity obtained by begging, even if it is nominally independent, is not actually a truly independent country.

The meaning of Jin Gu and Rhee Syngman was very clear. They did not want true independence, but just wanted a name for independence. From now on, Goryeo would exist in the name of Lanfang vassal state.

This "vassal state" sounds good, but in fact it has a lot to do.

Goryeo does have 20 million people now, and its population is larger than the entire population of Lanfang, but its national power is vastly different from that of Lanfang. Without Qin Zhiyuan's consent, Goryeo's desire to be independent is a wishful thinking.

Even if Goryeo becomes independent, Kim Koo and Syngman Rhee may not be able to maintain Goryeo's existence.

Regardless of the fact that the Japanese were badly beaten by Lan Fang, even the Japanese, who are now weak to the bottom, would not have a problem conquering Goryeo again.

So when it was weak, Goryeo was of course willing to exist as a vassal state of Lanfang, but what if one day Goryeo became strong?

Or do the Koreans feel that they are already powerful? Will he continue to be Lan Fang's vassal state willingly?

This may be a big question mark.

But Jin Jiu and Rhee Seungman obviously didn't think so, so when they heard Qin Zhiyuan's flat refusal, Rhee Seungman was extremely surprised: "Why? For thousands of years, Goryeo has been a vassal state of the Central Plains Dynasty. We even The Chongzhen calendar has been used since the fall of the Ming Empire. As a vassal country, we have done everything we wanted to do. Isn't this enough to prove our loyalty? "

Look, this is what the Koreans call loyalty. Just now Rhee said "min", but now it has become "us".

"Why not? Lan Fang is not the savior. We drove away the Japanese to bring peace to the people of Korea, not to make Korea independent. If we change positions, would you be happy to see that result?" Qin Zhiyuan He refused very simply and had no intention of saying those high-sounding words, which were Hong Guoguo's interests.

As for the shamelessness of the Korean people, let’s not talk about what happened in another time and space. Let’s just say that in this time and space, when the Japanese entered the Kanto region of the Republic of China, many Koreans followed the Japanese into the Kanto region as members of the immigrants.

The Japanese are also very good at "using barbarians to control barbarians." In the Japanese-occupied areas, almost all the police were Koreans. The Japanese were still wary of the Koreans and did not equip the Korean police with weapons, so the Koreans used wooden Sticks and other objects are used as police weapons.

When facing the Chinese, those Korean policemen were extremely cruel, hitting and smashing what should be beaten, not to mention the friendship with the overlord country, not even the slightest "brotherly and friendly" friendship. Therefore, the Koreans were in the Kanto region. It got a very famous name - Gaoli Bangzi.

After Lanfang drove away the Japanese, those Goryeo policemen had been liquidated. Although the seemingly guilty people deserved their punishment, this could not help but arouse Qin Zhiyuan's vigilance.

"Of course we will!" Syngman Rhee was a little excited, his face turned red and he wanted to argue.

"Don't talk about those high-sounding things. It doesn't mean anything. In fact, for you, you have to figure out one thing. What is your purpose? To make all Koreans happy, or to make your own ambitions Be realized. I like ambitious people, but your ambition must be for the whole Lanfang serves, not just to realize your so-called 'self-worth'. If you want, you can return to Korea and strive to become the regional leader of Korea. In that case, you can also fight for the rights of the Korean people. Otherwise, what are you doing? Neither can be obtained." Qin Zhiyuan didn't want to waste too much time with Jin Jiu and Rhee Seungman.

At this point, Qin Zhiyuan's meaning is already obvious. If Jin Jiu and Rhee Syngman are willing to cooperate with Lanfang, then Jin Jiu and Rhee Syngman can return to Goryeo and strive to become the regional leaders of Goryeo. But if Jin Jiu and Rhee Seungman Rhee Seungman was unwilling to cooperate with Lanfang, so Jin Jiu and Rhee Seungman didn't even have a chance to return to Goryeo.

"Your Majesty, if you understand Western society, you should know that the part about 'national autonomy' in the 'Fourteen Points' proposed by President Wilson. In the long run, 'national autonomy' is the general trend and is irreversible. Trend, Your Majesty, you are so wise..." Syngman Rhee came up with the "national autonomy" thing again.

"National autonomy, this is just Wilson's gimmick, just a joke. If Wilson sincerely supports national autonomy, why don't Americans do this in the Philippines? Why don't Americans do this in their own country?" Qin Zhiyuan said to Wilson Innocence is also helpless.

They are not naive. The reason why the Americans proposed this "national autonomy" is naturally because of their interests. The Americans are also practicing double standards on this matter. Americans have always played this game smoothly.

"But, you clearly have the opportunity to become a wise king, why do you give up?" Rhee refused to give up. No matter what the reason was, Rhee would never give up.

"But, there is obviously an opportunity to live a peaceful and happy life now, why don't you seize it?" Qin Zhiyuan threw the question back unchanged.

If Korea is now merged with Lanfang, it will indeed be a good opportunity for the Koreans, but the Koreans may not think so.

"Freedom, what we need is freedom, the freedom of independence!" Syngman Rhee had an ideal.

"Is there real freedom? Do Americans have freedom? Do British people have freedom? Do Lan Fang people have freedom? Living in this world, we all have to decide our way of life according to normal social rules. There is no freedom at all. Absolute freedom can only cause absolute chaos. Is that what you want?" From Qin Zhiyuan's standpoint, Qin Zhiyuan can despise Lee Seung-man's naivety.

There are too many examples of people who want to pursue freedom but fall into chaos in the 21st century. Qin Zhiyuan understands the consequences of indulgence, so if Kim Gu and Lee Seung-man are really stubborn, Qin Zhiyuan will never let Kim Gu and Lee Seung-man return to Goryeo.

If Kim Gu and Lee Seung-man return to Goryeo with the heart of "independence", they will sooner or later be two sources of trouble.

"Freedom is of course relative, but we want to decide our own destiny, and we don't want others to decide our destiny." Lee Seung-man showed a standard elite mentality.

"You just want to decide your own destiny, which does not mean that all Koreans think so. You want to represent all 20 million Koreans, so have you asked the opinions of those Koreans? If you want to be equal to all countries on the international stage, you need to prove your value. First of all, you need to prove that you are qualified to represent Koreans, instead of talking about democracy and freedom here. I can't give you the opportunity to test your ideals. That will use 20 million lives as test subjects. Don't you think your idea is too selfish?" Qin Zhiyuan hit the nail on the head.

The so-called democracy and freedom, the so-called representation at every turn, are really ridiculous, especially those self-righteous so-called "elites". Most of them are people with high eyes and low skills. Let them find faults off the stage, they find them very well, but if they really let them go on stage, these people will be at a loss.

"I am the Prime Minister recognized by the three governments of Goryeo. Don't I have the qualifications to represent Goryeo?" Lee Seung-man felt unacceptable.

"Three governments... Listening to your organizational structure, don't you think it's too much? Which one is the main one? Who has the final say? What's going on with these three governments?" Qin Zhiyuan is quite clear about the true face of these "exile governments".

If there is anyone in Goryeo who is qualified to organize an exile government, then the most qualified one is the Goryeo royal family, but the Goryeo royal family has been exterminated in Japan, and the country of Goryeo was incorporated into Japan ten years ago, so the current three exile governments are not legitimate.

"Your Majesty, you are insulting 20 million Koreans. We cannot accept your words." Lee Seung-man's face changed drastically.

Qin Zhiyuan does not recognize the "exile government", which means that Qin Zhiyuan does not recognize Lee Seung-man's status, which is absolutely unacceptable to Lee Seung-man.

The original text is in the six # 9 @book/bar!

"Your Majesty, the time is up." Misha stood up and reminded.

"Okay, let's leave it like this for now. You can go back and think about what to do to be more responsible to the 20 million Koreans. If you continue to maintain your current ideas, then unfortunately, you will not be welcome in Lan Fang." Qin Zhiyuan served tea to see him off.

"Then, I will take my leave..." Lee Seung-man wanted to argue, but Jin Jiu stood up and saluted Qin Zhiyuan respectfully.

Lee Seung-man took a deep breath, saluted Qin Zhiyuan respectfully, and then left with Jin Jiu.

"What are you going to do?" Jin Jiu asked Lee Seung-man in Korean in the Bulldog.

"We can't give up. If we give up, we will become the sinners of Goryeo, and we can't explain to the 20 million Koreans, so we have to continue." Lee Seung-man didn't plan to give up.

"But now it seems that the situation we are facing is worse than before." Jin Jiu's expression was tangled.

"If you want independence, it is impossible without bloodshed and sacrifice. We must be prepared. Even if half of the Koreans die for this ideal, it will be worth it." Lee Seung-man was determined.

Half?

That's 10 million people!

Jin Jiu looked at Lee Seung Man with a complicated look.

"After we go back, we can study the process of Lan Fang's founding. Maybe that will give us some clues." Lee Seung Man wanted to learn from it.

Before, Lee Seung Man used relatively peaceful means to fight for independence from the Japanese. Now, Lee Seung Man is finally ready to take the armed route.

"..." Jin Jiu did not answer.

At an angle that Lee Seung Man could not see, the smile on the corner of the bulldog driver's mouth was quite sarcastic.
