Looking at these familiar yet unfamiliar company names, Lin Feng sighed slightly, "Time flies."
"Siming, our industry is just starting out, and there's still a long way to go. The first gun, the first truck, the first tank, and even the first airplane and the first warship named after the Democratic League all need to be built from scratch... But fortunately, we have existing industry and talent reserves..."
Lin Feng paused here, a smile appearing on his face, "First, we'll imitate it, and then gradually improve it. I hope our starting standard will be higher than that of the United States."
"Okay!" He Siming wrote it down carefully.
The two then discussed specific details, such as the preparation for the new factory, the research and development of new weapons, and the company's positioning.
Ultimately, the two finalized the three major groups' first one-year plan, second three-year plan, and third five-year plan.
In particular, the focus of development was on atomic bombs and missiles, since these two things would be crucial weapons for major powers in later generations.
The next person to be met was Wang Yunfei, a representative of the China Democratic League.
"Reporting to the Chairman! Wang Yunfei, representative of the China Democratic League, has come to report on his work!" Wang Yunfei knocked on the door and entered, saluting Lin Feng.
Lin Feng waved his hand, gesturing for him to sit down.
Wang Yunfei sat down, opened the folder and placed it on the table, took out a few sheets of paper, and said, "Chairman, the Democratic League has already come up with a specific plan regarding the construction of our occupied areas."
"Oh? Tell me about it."
Lin Feng raised an eyebrow, signaling Wang Yunfei to continue.
"We all agree that the territories of the three countries under the National League for Democracy (NLD) are already large enough, and it is not appropriate to give them any more territory. There are two reasons for this. First, to prevent any country from posing a military threat to the NLD."
At this point, Wang Yunfei paused slightly, glanced at Lin Feng, and continued, "Secondly, the more countries the China Democratic League controls, the easier it is for them to play a role in checking and balancing each other."
Lin Feng nodded thoughtfully upon hearing this.
Wang Yunfei: "According to the internal discussion meeting of the Chinese generals of the Democratic League, we felt that two countries should be established in the occupied areas."
“Establish the Democratic Union of West Indonesia in Singapore, Malaysia, and western Indo-Lysia, and establish the Democratic Union of East Indonesia in eastern Indo-Lysia, Papua New Guinea, and Queensland, Australia.”
"As for the main island of Japan and the surrounding islands, they will be temporarily under the jurisdiction of Vietnam. Once China is established, we will transfer these islands to Vietnam."
"You want to learn from the Russian bear?" Lin Feng suddenly realized.
Wang Yunfei paused for a moment, then shook his head with a wry smile: "That's right. The Russians are a republic system, an alliance of multiple republics and regional ethnic groups. This model allows them to check and balance each other and expand their territory rapidly. But the drawbacks are enormous—once a region becomes independent or splits, the entire republic will be forced to disintegrate."
"Of course, we are different. The National League for Democracy does not openly control the national economy, giving these countries' presidents more room for development. However, the military is firmly in our hands, and if necessary, we can completely solve the problem through war."
Wang Yunfei confidently introduced the political strategy of the China Democratic League, while Lin Feng listened without comment.
After a long silence, he sighed and said, "Although this model is safe, it is too conservative. With more countries, it becomes more troublesome to manage, especially when it involves military, financial, and political power. It is extremely complicated, and I am afraid that one day it will backfire."
“This…” Wang Yunfei hesitated, unable to speak.
Lin Feng stood up, patted Wang Yunfei on the shoulder, and said slowly, "The reason I established three countries instead of one was that, in addition to enabling the countries to quickly form a cohesive force, it also allowed us to ensure national security and interests when the international situation is turbulent."
"To the north, there is China, so we don't need to worry about that. To the west, there is the Lao National League for Democracy, to the south, there is the Cambodian National League for Democracy, and to the east, there is the Vietnamese National League for Democracy. It's a bit like the Three Kingdoms period, where Wei, Shu, and Wu stood in a tripartite balance, checking and restraining each other."
Lin Feng paused slightly, turned his head to stare into Wang Yunfei's eyes, and said solemnly, word by word, "So, your worries are completely unnecessary."
"President, so you mean... to divide all our occupied territories among the three countries?"
Lin Feng smiled, pointed at Wang Yunfei, and jokingly scolded, "You're pretty quick-witted, that's what I admire about you."
"Hehe... Thank you for the compliment, President!"
Lin Feng laughed heartily: "That's right. Dividing all the occupied territories among the three countries will, firstly, show those presidents who are focused on improving people's livelihoods and infrastructure that we, the Democratic League, can deliver on our promises. Secondly, it embodies the strategic thinking of building a strong military and a strong nation. You understand that, right?"
"I understand."
Lin Feng nodded and said, "Yes, as you know, in the future we may face not just the United States, but the entire Allied Powers, or the entire world. The positioning of the Vietnamese, Lao, and Cambodian armed forces is very important."
"Let's talk about North Vietnam first. The core of North Vietnam is to deal with threats in the Pacific Ocean. This region has many islands, so North Vietnam's main development is long-range strike, such as strategic bombing, missiles, etc., to build an elite and strong military that can accomplish its mission. This is our National League for Democracy's deterrent against the enemy."
"Cambodia, on the other hand, is only bordered by the Philippines, Australia, and New Zealand to the south. It has a large territory and faces relatively little threat, so we can focus on building up our navy."
"Laos is different. Its strategic route is to the west, and it faces enemies of millions or tens of millions of people. Therefore, the development of the army is very important."
As Lin Feng spoke, he looked up and asked Wang Yunfei, "What do you think of the proposal I put forward?"
Wang Yunfei glanced down at Lin Feng, considered for a moment, and then said, "You are the chairman... how could I dare to contradict you?"
"Ha ha......"
Lin Feng couldn't help but laugh.
"Alright, since you have no objections, let's proceed as planned."
Lin Feng said seriously, "Based on the plan I proposed, we will work together with the commanders-in-chief of the three countries to draft a detailed military reform plan as soon as possible. As for the territory, you can discuss it among yourselves, divide it up yourselves, and then submit it to me for signature."
Wang Yunfei quickly stood up and gave a solemn salute: "Yes, sir! I guarantee I will complete the mission!"
