"This is a total challenge to the honor of the British Empire! The Grand Duchy of Lan Fong, the protectorate of Queen Victoria Bixia, instigated the Sultan of Wanna and the Sultan of Brunei to invade Lan Fong, and brazenly sent military advisers to participate in combat operations, which is a great insult to the British Empire, and the whole Empire will be outraged...... The Dutch East Indies must bear all the consequences arising from this! ”

The one who spoke was a certain reincarnated British fat man, that is, our best friend of Viscount Zhu, Robert. Lieutenant Colonel Churchill. Legend has it that the demeanor of a British gentleman does not exist in him, his father died early, no one disciplined him, he went to military school when he was very young, and a group of fox friends and dogs fought, and later entered the scum-filled British Army, which is really not a gentleman.

And this time the Dutch are really wrong! You must know that at the time of the Xindang battle, Qiu Fatzi himself was also in Zhu Jishi's army! If it weren't for Ji Shijun's ability to fight, it might be Qiu Fatzi himself who is lying in the coffin now! When I thought of this, the fat man's big belly was about to explode.

As for saying that Borneo used to be the shili range of the Dutch, uh, so what? Singapore and the Malay Peninsula were also the Shili range of the Dutch before, and now they are not the same as the British Empire? Besides, the Shili area was not a territory, and the Dutch had only two small strongholds in West Borneo with an army of less than 100 men.

For the wicked man of the fat man, he sued first, Anthony. Fan. Major Steinberg could only knock out his teeth and swallow it in his stomach. How did Viscount Zhu Jishi mix in Europe, the Dutch East Indies did not get much information, but the British Empire's aggressive pace of expansion in the South Seas was really felt by the Viceroyalty of Batavia.

Now there is no tearing face, the British are just encroaching on the territory of the Dutch, and if they really tear their faces, it only takes a small war, and the Dutch in the East Indies will have to roll up and cover up back in Europe...... The Netherlands is no longer the sea coachman of the past!

"Mr. Churchill, I would like to remind you that the current Lan Fang ...... Not yet a protectorate of the British Empire! Lan Fang Company is canonized by our Dutch East Indies Governor's Office, and from this point of view, Lan Fang is a Dutch protectorate......"

"Wait," Fat Qiu waved his fat hand and frowned, "Major Steinberg, you're not mistaken, are you?" Don't you know that the whole of West Borneo was annexed to the Qing not long ago? Liu Qianxing, the leader of the Lanfang Company, also served as the Lanfang regiment training envoy of the Qing Dynasty. You don't seem to have raised any objections to this, do you? ”

"This ......," Major Steinberg's face could only be described as iron-blue. This handle seems to have really fallen into the hands of the British, and when the Lanfang Company announced that it would attach the Qing Dynasty, the Dutch East India Governor's Office did not raise any objections. Therefore, before the Battle of Xindang, Lanfang was no longer a protectorate of the Dutch East Indies, but a territory of the Qing Dynasty. The battle for Lanfang can be regarded as a struggle between the British and the Qing Dynasty, so why did the Dutch intervene? And also on the side of the Qing Dynasty and the enemy of Britain!

"This Major Andersen's actions have nothing to do with the Dutch East Indies Governorate, but are his personal actions." Major Steinberg gritted his teeth and declared, "In fact, he had already retired from the Dutch Army last year, but was only temporarily hired by the Dutch Governor's Office for the East Indies." ”

Well, that's what it means to be a temporary worker.

"Oh, temporary hires." Qiu Fatzi smiled and asked, "So it means that if you die, you will die in vain?" ”

"Death in vain, death in vain! It has nothing to do with the Government of the Netherlands. ”

Qiu Fatzi nodded with satisfaction, and said: "Whether it is in vain or not, the body has been handed over to you, and it has nothing to do with the British, now let's talk about the border issue between the Grand Duchy of Lanfang and the Dutch East Indies." ”

"Side...... Border issues? Major Steinberg was surprised, "Lieutenant Colonel Churchill, what do you mean?" There is no territorial dispute between the Dutch East India Governor's House and the Lanfang Company! ”

"Yes, I know that." Churchill said, "You Dutch East Indies only have two strongholds in West Borneo, Pontianak and Sanfa, and there are less than 100 garrisons. The Grand Duchy of Lanfon fully respected the Dutch sovereignty over the two strongholds. ”

What do you mean? In addition to the Dutch strongholds of Sanfa and Pontianak, the rest of the territory of the whole West Borneo belongs to the Grand Duchy of Lanfang?

Major Steinberg's face turned pale, and he said word by word: "Mr. Churchill, our Dutch East Indies Governor's Office has already had an agreement with the Lanfang Company, and the Lanfang Company's jurisdiction is only part of the area north of the Kunjiang River!" ”

"I know, I know, that it is the territory of a few princely states." Qiu Fatzi said with a smile, "Now the Grand Duchy of Lanfang is preparing to wage war against several sultanate princely states south of the Kunjiang River, because they supported the Sultan of Wanna in the previous Battle of Xindang. Of course, the Grand Duchy of Lanfang would not infringe on any of the rights and interests of the Dutch East Indies in West Borneo, including the strongholds of Pontianak and Samfa. ”

"But those sultans are under the protection of the Dutch East Indies Governorate!"

"It's protection again," Qiu Fatzi chuckled, "You Dutch can't even protect yourself, and you still think about protecting others all the time, isn't it ridiculous?" ”

"You ......," Major Steinberg gritted his teeth.

Qiu Fatzi said again: "After all, the protectorate is not a territory or a territory, right? At most, the interests of the Netherlands are to collect a few protection fees from those princely sultans, can they have 10,000 foreign dollars a year? The fat man shook his head, "It's not worth it to involve the Netherlands in a war with heavy casualties for the sake of these little money." Now I have the best of both worlds. ”

"What's the solution?" Major Steinberg asked with a cold face.

The fat man crossed his fingers and said, "First, the Grand Duchy of Lanfang and the British Viceroy of the Straits Settlements recognize the sovereignty of the Dutch East Indies over the Borneo region south of the Kun River; second, the Dutch East Indies leased West Borneo south of the Kun River to the Grand Duchy of Lan Fong for a period of 100 years; Thirdly, the Grand Duchy of Lanfang paid an annual rent of 30,000 foreign oceans to the Dutch East Indies; Fourth, the Grand Duchy of Lanfang guaranteed the inviolability of the Dutch East Indies in Pontianak and Sanfa and two strongholds.

Major Steinberg, you see, how good this method is, the interests of the Netherlands, Lanfang and the British Empire are fully guaranteed, where can I find it? Shall we just decide? ”

The land that Qiu Fatzi now claimed from Major Steinberg came to be known as the "West Borneo Lease". After some bargaining, Lan Fong, the British, and the Dutch East Indies signed the West Borneo Lend-Lease Treaty in Singapore in January 1846, under which the Grand Duchy of Lan Fong "leased" a large area of land south of the Kun River in exchange for paying 60,000 taels of foreign ocean a year and not allowing any spices to be grown in West Borneo.

The original territorial extent of the Grand Duchy of Lan Fong was determined by this treaty, which was approximately the scope of the later Indonesian province of West Kalimantan, with a total area (including the leased land) of about 146,000 square kilometers. The land is not fertile, but it is rich in gold and diamonds, as well as coal, iron and large areas of uncultivated native forest. In the future, this land will become the largest producer of rubber and palm oil in Shijie, and is known as the "Golden Borneo".
