Especially Vietnam and North Korea, from ancient times to the present, have been threatened by foreign forces and have long been against foreign forces. This time, under the influence of China, we can strengthen our relationship with each other through political marriage. This time, we can not only form alliances and fight against enemies together, but also indirectly increase our own political influence.

You should know that North Korea, Vietnam, Ryukyu and even China are all new regimes. What a new regime needs most is to gain wider recognition. This marriage is to demonstrate its legal identity at home and abroad.

Immediately, everyone expressed their agreement. Even the crown prince of the Ryukyu Kingdom, Shang Wentai, had no objection. It was not that he could not see that such political marriage and allowing foreigners to act as their own nobles was a sovereignty over the Ryukyu Kingdom, but now there is no other way. Wu Shaoting had explained clearly before that the Ryukyu Kingdom lacked its own strength, and if he wanted to restore the country, he had to rely on foreign forces.

For Shang Wentai, what he is most concerned about now is the issue of ascending the throne. It is already a happy thing to be able to go from an ordinary citizen to a king who holds the power of a country. Since he has obtained it, he must have to pay, otherwise where would there be so many cheap things in the world?

Wu Shaoting nodded, expressed his approval of everyone's attitude, and then said: "This is political support. At the same time, after the restoration of the Ryukyu Kingdom, I hope you can provide some material assistance to help the Ryukyu Kingdom overcome the economic difficulties after leaving Japan as soon as possible and establish its own economic system. You can borrow, invest, or establish a cooperative market. In short, everyone can help each other as much as possible. This is the basis for the gathering of strength of our four countries."

These things are naturally not difficult. Even though Vietnam and North Korea now owe a large amount of national debt to China, there are still excess private assets to mobilize. In short, as long as there is profit, there will be a market, and there will be assets in and out of the market.

After the first agenda ended, the heads of the four countries jointly signed several cooperation agreements, including joint trade, Bank of MSF and equivalent tariffs.

When these cooperation agreements were signed, it was already twelve o'clock noon, so the meeting was temporarily closed.

The luncheon was also held in Wu Mansion, but it seemed very simple and did not be extravagant because the guests attended were members of various countries. After the luncheon was over, Wu Shaoting talked with Vietnamese Queen Ruan Lingzhi alone. He hoped that Ruan Lingzhi could put down his personal feelings and bring a powerful line of getting to know the Four Kingdoms Alliance.

Ruan Lingzhi has already guessed what Wu Shaoting meant, and the other party hoped that she could marry King Shang Wentai of Ryukyu. In this way, Shang Wentai could obtain the identity of King of Vietnam, and she could also become the queen of Ryukyu. Vietnam and Ryukyu will establish the closest joint relationship. From the perspective of future development, it can even be said to combine the resources of the two countries to develop together.

Even though Ruan Lingzhi was eager for Vietnam to develop rapidly, she could sacrifice some personal interests for this. After all, as the head of Vietnam, she naturally had to set an example. But this fact was too sudden and she needed some time to consider it, so she did not give an answer immediately.

Wu Shaoting naturally understood that he just solemnly gave a few words, hoping that Ruan Lingzhi could think carefully.

In his opinion, Ruan Lingzhi and Shang Wentai's marriage was not only Vietnam, but also deepened the relationship between the two countries of Ryukyu, but also opened up an important precedent for the four-country alliance and even the Asian alliance. It is only the best way to break the original conservative ideas of various countries, and it is also the foundation stone for effectively promoting the construction of the Asian community.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, the Four-Country Summit entered its second agenda, which is also the most critical part of this meeting.

Previously, the heads of state heard the outline of the meeting agenda. The countries that were able to restore sovereignty with China's support were naturally full of great expectations for this. Because the second agenda is to discuss the finalization of the establishment of a four-country trading community and a military community. Trade is an important way for national economic development and is naturally very important for poor and weak agricultural countries. Military is the foundation for ensuring national sovereignty and a direct weapon to defend the regime.

The Vietnam Empire and the Kingdom of Korea were still very afraid of Western powers instinctively. The Republic of China may have the strength to fight against these Western countries, but they do not have the ability at present. Not only that, in the eyes of many people, even foreign invaders in the Republic of China War, were somewhat opportunistic to achieve national sovereignty. They cleverly used the opportunity of Western countries gathering their spirits on the European battlefield and then mobilized the whole country to deal with Japan.

As for the Ryukyu Kingdom, this is even more true. The Ryukyu Kingdom not only does not have its own military power, but even political power must be transported abroad. Therefore, these small Asian countries hope to obtain security guarantees. Under the leadership of the Republic of China, it is absolutely a good thing to establish an organized and institutional military community and turn zero into a whole to strengthen national defense capabilities.

"We have an idea in the Republic of China, and we have conducted detailed analysis, argumentation and predictions within. We believe that this will become the best way for our four countries to achieve win-win results." Wu Shaoting briefly said the opening remark, and then nodded to a member and signaled.

The escort immediately sent several documents that had been prepared and distributed to the heads of various countries.

Everyone opened the document and read it carefully, while Wu Shaoting gave a guided introduction and explanation.

This is a detailed plan for the trade community, but it roughly starts from tariffs, banks, transnational trade and logistics. It mainly coordinates resources in these areas to achieve the effect of reducing the actual economic gap between countries and forming a common advance and retreat. At the same time, it also establishes two different international trade attitudes, both external and internal.

The so-called domestic and foreign trade attitudes are one attitude within the four-nation alliance system, while other countries outside the four-nation alliance system are another attitude.

Specifically, within the four-nation alliance, tariffs on allied countries will be minimized, the most favorable trade policies and trade environment will be provided, and a transportation mechanism that facilitates allied countries will be established.

These contents are by no means like the most-favored-nation clause signed when the great powers invaded, but everything should be enforceable as the direction and the four countries can develop together. They will not use "partial regions develop first, and then drive backward regions to develop later" to make excuses. All policies, environments, market planning and trade means are all for promoting common development.

In fact, the so-called trade community this time was the most primitive way of cooperation in the later "European Union". After all, there are great economic differences between the four countries, and it is impossible to promote monetary community and market sharing as soon as possible, otherwise China will suffer the final loss.

The main purpose of this kind of trading community is to develop together while weakening the economic differentiation between the four countries. When the economic entities of each country reach a near difference, they can launch the next community plan, fully open the market, share resources, and even issue community currencies.

"All community plans depend on mutual trust between us, which is why I proposed a political marriage. With a marriage relationship, everyone will naturally have the most basic trust. As long as you can sign this cooperation for the trade community, our four countries will not only greatly shorten the distance, but will also quickly gather productivity and expand the market size, and ultimately achieve common development." Wu Shaoting said solemnly.

However, after all, everyone has different opinions and different ways of understanding.

In the following hours, the heads of state and officials held very detailed discussions and took out some of the details mentioned in the document for analysis one by one. Some clauses were beneficial to Vietnam, while others were not good to North Korea. Naturally, it was necessary to get more in-depth running-in before understanding it.

However, under the detailed statements of Wu Shaoting and officials from the China National Policy Research Office, the heads of the three countries gradually felt relieved. In general, establishing this trade community requires certain risks, and each country must make contributions. However, as long as they can jointly adhere to the operation and development of the community, everyone will eventually gain considerable benefits.

The essence of a trade community is to expand the market size, eliminate vicious competition to a certain extent, and at the same time establish borderless trade within the community, maximizing cost savings and national burdens.

Finally, after a little modification and comment, the heads of the four countries signed the agreement for the trade community.

In the subsidiaries, the four countries of China, North Korea, Vietnam and Liu established the Asian Trade Center in Shanghai on September 1, and the Asian Trade Center was responsible for the operation and management of the daily work of the trade community, and gradually began to implement relevant contents in the agreement. In addition, the heads of the four countries also signed the first joint venture project, jointly funded by the four countries to develop a landmark skyscraper in Shanghai for the use of loyal offices of Asian trade, and could also be the site of the other three countries' consulates in Shanghai.

This move is not only to demonstrate the determination and confirmation of the four countries' trade cooperation, but also Wu Shaoting's intention to develop Shanghai, the Far East financial center.
