Chapter 744: Overturned in the Gutter?
Lin Afu suddenly said that among the Chinese in Singapore, the Fujianese were the first to come, followed by the Hakka and the Chaozhou people, and the Cantonese people came the latest, correspondingly, it was also the best mix of the Fujianese, and established the Kowloon Hall and the Yongchun Society with the nature of the underworld, controlled a large number of gangs, and had the closest relationship with the British.
Because the most profitable pornography, gambling, drug and shipping industries were controlled by the Fujianese, the Hakka people and the Chaozhou people could only retreat to the second best place and engage in the planting industry, and gradually gained a certain strength, while when the Cantonese people set foot on the land of Singapore, the money-making industry was monopolized and divided by the first two, and they could only make a living by selling their crafts and coolies.
This is also the fundamental reason why the Guangdong Townsmen Association and the Guangdong Labor Union strongly support Wang Feng, they hope to climb the big tree of the Democratic Alliance to reshuffle the cards of Singapore, and then improve their own economic status, and Lin Yongfu and Zhang Sanchao insist on independence, which is also for this reason, because only by being independent and grasping the state power can we firmly grasp the immediate benefits.
Logically speaking, when the two sides are in contention, the referendum is a relatively mild solution, and it is easy to be convincing, but the problem is that the Cantonese people are not only the weakest, but also do not have the advantage in numbers, not to mention the Hakka and Teochew people who are difficult to understand, and the result of the referendum is not optimistic.
Lin Afu and other Cantonese people couldn't help but turn their eyes to Wang Feng for help, and there were even fierce lights flashing in the eyes of some people!
Of course, this fierce light is not aimed at Wang Feng, but urges Wang Feng to use force to kill the Fujian people, and it will be a hundred!
Wang Feng shook his head secretly, how could he not understand the little abacus of the Cantonese people? Although Singapore is only a small place, it has a complete set of left, center and right factions, and there are foreign forces involved, and the complexity of the political struggle is no less than that of any major country. If killing solves the problem, he will not hesitate to sacrifice a killing move, but this is just wishful thinking.
At this time, Chen Baocheng, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly said leisurely: "Chen thinks that the referendum is a fair and just method, and the people of Singapore should decide the future of Singapore through the referendum. ”
"Huh?" Wang Feng's eyes suddenly burst into essence. looked over.
In just an instant, Wang Feng figured out the thoughts of the wall-riding faction represented by Chen Baocheng, because the referendum does not mean that if you make a decision today, you can vote tomorrow, it takes a certain amount of preparation time, and this time difference gives the wall-riding faction the opportunity to sell at a price, whoever gives him great interests, he will support whichever side, whether it is independence or joining China. His interests will not be compromised, and even if he maneuvers properly, it is not impossible to become the party that benefits the most.
Gradually, everyone guessed Chen Baocheng's thoughts, and the face of the unification faction showed undisguised disdain and disgust, and the wall-riding faction nodded again and again in agreement, and Chen Baocheng himself stroked his beard proudly. The independents made eye contact.
Obviously, don't give the wall-riding faction benefits. The result of the referendum can only be a fiasco, so the wall-riding faction is bound to win over, and how great this benefit is, it can be resolved through negotiation, in short, it is only right to pull the wall-riding faction into their own camp first.
Zhang Sanchao arched his hand to Wang Feng: "Please Your Majesty!" ”
"Your Majesty, please!" All the independents bowed their hands to Wang Feng.
"Your Majesty, please!" A moment later. The wall-riding faction also surrendered to Wang Feng one after another.
This is forcing the palace, Boss Chen and other Chinese personnel suddenly looked angry, and the unification faction also wrote anxiety on their faces, while Wang Feng showed a trace of unhappiness and was silent.
The scene froze there. Everyone looked at Wang Feng, and the palms of the independents and the wall-riding faction were sweating.
I don't know how long it took, Wang Feng suddenly smiled and waved his hand inadvertently: "It seems that in addition to the use of force, there can only be a referendum, okay, let me ask first, is it one person, one vote?" ”
Lin Yongfu's eyes rolled, Wang Feng raised this question, it was obvious that he was playing the idea of voting qualifications, at present, there are more than 3,000 women in Singapore, if they are forcibly released by the Democratic Alliance, they will definitely be grateful to Dade and vote for reunification, these women account for more than ten percent of the population, which is a variable and must be eliminated.
Lin Yongfu was puzzled: "Your Majesty, in today's world, even in Europe and the United States, there is no precedent for giving women the right to vote, so Lin believes that the voting qualifications should be limited to adult males over 18. ”
"Yes, yes, that's the truth!" Before Wang Feng squeaked, the independence faction and the riding wall hurriedly agreed, and they also guessed Wang Feng's intentions one after another, letting those women run for election, coupled with the intimidation and co-optation of the Chinese government behind the scenes, there will definitely be people who surrender and defect, maybe there is a real possibility of change!
The unhappiness on Wang Feng's face was even more obvious, and his sharp eyes swept over one by one, and many people's hearts and livers were fluttering, but they also knew that this was a critical moment, and taking a step back was an abyss, so they all forced a breath to look at Wang Feng.
Perhaps intimidated by the firm determination to build the country, Wang Feng shook his head and said helplessly: "Are you determined to break away from China?" That's good, the twisted melon is not sweet, and I won't make it difficult for others, the referendum is okay, but you have to promise me one condition. ”
"Your Majesty, please speak!" Lin Yongfu felt that his whole body was trembling with happiness, and he couldn't help but ask with joy.
Wang Feng said lightly: "The referendum has been delayed for half a year. ”
To be honest, this condition cannot be regarded as a condition at all, and the referendum originally had a preparation period of one or two months, and according to Wang Feng's request, it was nothing more than a few more months to postpone.
But who is Wang Feng? In dealing with foreigners, he has no martial arts and never suffers, will he give up Xingjiapo? Everyone's first reaction was not to believe it, but the condition was that it was indeed laid out, would there be a miracle if it was postponed for a few months? Including Li Hongzhang, no one can think of the key to it.
In other words, Wang Feng plans to use this half a year to do work for all parties, but there is no substantive interest, is persuasion useful? Or maybe Wang Feng has already admitted defeat, just mentioning a condition that is easy to achieve and finding a step down?
But this victory came too easily, right?
In the previous game, Wang Feng was still like a rainbow and drove Gavina out, but in the latter game, he lost the flowers, and the contrast between the front and back was so great that people couldn't believe it.
"President Lin, what does Your Majesty mean, I think there must be something strange in it, and I can't easily agree!"
"Eh~~ What does it matter if it drags on for half a year? Besides, Your Majesty only made this one request, and it is so simple, if you don't even agree to this, if you annoy Your Majesty, the consequences are hard to say! ”
There was a lot of discussion in the hall, and many people were secretly looking at Wang Feng, hoping to find clues from his expression, but Wang Feng narrowed his eyes slightly, without any change in his expression.
"Okay, according to Your Majesty's request, my Kowloon Hall agrees to hold a referendum in half a year!" After discussing for a while, Lin Yongfu stood up and threw his hand away.
"I Yongchun Association seconded, my Singapore Shipping Association seconded, my Chaozhou Association seconded, and my Hakka Association seconded!" The bigwigs have expressed their positions one after another.
"Your Majesty, no!" Su Jinsheng and Ye Dafu hurriedly dissuaded them, their eyes intertwined with disappointment and despair.
As if he hadn't seen it, Wang Feng waved his hand, picked up his wine glass and said, "Since all parties have reached an agreement on the referendum, on behalf of the Chinese government and the Chinese people, I would like to congratulate the successful vote in half a year!" ”
"Your Majesty, please!" For them, this glass of wine is a good wine, a victory, and a hope and a future.
"Huh!" After the unification faction slammed the table fiercely, they drank dry in a gulp, their mouths were full of bitterness, and their hearts were full of suspicion and dissatisfaction with Wang Feng, and even some people were ready to return to Chinese mainland or go to the three Southeast Asian countries, after all, it was obvious that the victor would not show mercy to the loser's subordinates, and would inevitably kill them all.
Generally speaking, overseas Chinese will be more cruel to their compatriots overseas than foreigners and natives, the bloody history of many Chinese communities such as Lanfang Company, Santiaogou Company, Dagang Company and so on is a vivid negative teaching material, Fujianese, Hakka, Cantonese, Chaoshan people, in China only represent the place of origin, no one will be hostile to each other, and overseas, the difference in place of origin will often become the cause of death!
Of course, this cannot be entirely blamed on overseas Chinese, the key is that the living environment is too bad, the Sultanates dotted in Southeast Asia are strong compared to the scattered Chinese, and the foreigners are even more giants, neither of the above two are the opponents of the Chinese who have just set foot overseas, in order to survive, in order to compete for limited resources, the Chinese have to rely on their origins to form associations one by one, snatching resources from their compatriots, and it is inevitable that there will be deaths and injuries in the competition, so that the hatred accumulates deeper and deeper.
Why do fellows have tears in their eyes when they see fellow villagers? Because fellow villagers mean strength, only by attracting more fellow villagers to join can you strengthen your own community.
Back in Singapore, why did the British settle the Chinese according to their place of origin? It is because the contradictions between Chinese in different regions are too great and they live together, and all kinds of armed fights and conflicts cannot be prevented.
You know, the British are here to make a fortune, not to kill, killing is just a means of plundering wealth, he needs a stable order, under the British management, although the contradictions between the Chinese have not been resolved, but at least on the surface to maintain a posture of well water does not interfere with river water, even if there is a conflict, all parties under the high pressure of the British, will be very restrained to control within a certain range.
But now, the British have been driven away, the NLD army has not stood firm and has to leave, Singapore has in fact a power vacuum, and because today's dinner party has pierced the window paper, the contradiction has been completely intensified, it is completely conceivable that as long as the NLD army leaves in the morning, Singapore will fall into a scuffle in the afternoon!
Li Hongzhang's eyebrows twisted slightly, Wang Feng's action, no matter how you look at it, is a failure, not only did Xingjiapo not get it, but it will also make Xingjiapo fall into a civil war, which is a laughing stock, but according to his understanding of Wang Feng, it is impossible to capsize in the small gutter of Xingjiapo, is there a trick? Or is it a wise man's thousand thoughts, and there will be a mistake?
After all, Wang Feng is a human, not a god, so there will always be a time when he misses, right? (To be continued.) )
