Rebirth of the Republic of China: The Story of the Chaebol

Back in Asia, Sun Tong was naturally most concerned about the domestic situation in Longguo.

In fact, things are already in chaos in Europe right now. Because of the existence of the "monster" the Western China Kingdom, the recovery speed of the Hans Kingdom in this world is far superior to that of Sun Tong in his previous life.

Over the years, the Kingdom of Xihua has earned a lot of wealth from Hans, but on the other hand, Hans has been living a much better life than Sun Tong in the same period of his previous life thanks to the large amount of supplies imported from Xihua.

With the successful rise of the mustache leader to power, he has stopped the domestic economic downturn. Now the word he shouts most every day is "revenge".

Right now, Hans is busy merging with Austria. This is a test by the little mustache on Ying and Gaul. After all, his "revenge" is not something that can be achieved by just shouting a few words. It is unlikely to defeat these two countries based on the current situation of Hans, so he needs to unite all the forces that can be united.

As a country with the same origin as Hans, if Austria could really annex this place, it would undoubtedly greatly enhance the strength of Hans.

In fact, there are many people who can see the ambition of Little Beard. Not to mention Sun Tong, the reborn person, there are at least a dozen people under Sun Tong who can see the intention of Little Beard, not to mention Europe.

But the problem is that the damage brought to Europe by the last world war was too great. This is why Britain, when implementing appeasement diplomacy, clearly showed weakness that was inconsistent with the international status of the British Empire. However, this was the main reason why neither Baldwin nor Chamberlain received much criticism at home during their tenure as prime minister.

However, regarding the issue of Austria, Hans, Yingguo and Gaul still have some issues to deal with, and it will take at least a year or two to come to a conclusion.

On the contrary, the Japanese invaders who occupied the northeast of Longguo are now having a really hard time there.

Although the Japanese appear to be very decent people in front of other countries, their local economy has never been very good, especially after the economic crisis, the Japanese homeland has been plagued by the economic crisis.

The Japanese had previously managed to occupy the Northeast of Longguo, and originally planned to rely on plundering wealth from the Northeast and then use this method to restore the domestic economy.

But Sun Tong’s rebirth was not in vain. Now in the northeastern region of Longguo, the number of anti-Japanese armed forces has grown from the initial 100,000 to more than 400,000 today.

The number of the Japanese Kwantung Army in the Northeast now is not the 800,000 that they claimed in the future. In fact, they only have 230,000 people here now.

These 230,000 troops, together with the vassal troops they recruited from Korea, could defeat the anti-Japanese armed forces active throughout the Northeast on the front battlefield.

But the problem is that the commanders of the anti-Japanese armed forces are not fools. Knowing that they cannot defeat the Japs head-on, they will naturally think of other ways.

Let's put it this way, ever since the Japanese occupied the Northeast, they have not gained any advantage in the Northeast over the years. On the contrary, because they spent a lot of money on "suppressing bandits", many people in the Japanese high-level have done the math, that is, the money they spent on occupying the Northeast is enough for them to arm 20 main divisions.

Because of the constant bleeding, the strength of the Japanese devils in this world is much weaker than that in the other world at the same time.

"Your Majesty, the Japanese sent someone to contact us again. It's the same old topic. They hope to purchase steel, oil and rubber from us."

"Don't bother with them. They just talk nonsense every day. We have already given them a price. If you have the money, just buy it. We didn't say we won't sell things to them."

Although Sun Tong said this, it would be a miracle if the Japanese could accept the price he offered.

With the money to buy expensive goods from Sun Tong, wouldn't it be better for the Japanese to buy some scrap steel from the ugly Chinese?

"By the way, Lao Qu, how many people are there in Nanyang now?"

"In reply to your Majesty, the total population of the Southeast Asian continents is 67 million, of which about 53 million are Chinese. Of the remaining 12 million, about 8 million are natives of Southeast Asia, and the remaining 4 million are all Europeans."

“What are the results of the sinicization of the indigenous people?”

"The work of localizing the language and writing has been completed, but many of the indigenous people's living habits cannot be changed for the time being. However, Your Majesty, please rest assured that the officials of the Governor's Office are now carrying out a new round of actions on this issue with the local indigenous people."

"The issue of indigenous people must be taken seriously. A population of eight million is still a bit too much. It would be good if the number of indigenous people could be maintained at around five million."

Sun Tong seemed to be talking to himself at the moment, but it made different sense to Qu Hongxi. Wasn't Sun Tong telling Qu Hongxi clearly that 'there are still too many indigenous people in Southeast Asia right now, and we need to find a way to send some of them away'?
