Chapter 551: Nanyang (3)

"Why" a heartfelt cry shouted from the mouths of everyone.

The old man known as Uncle Wang was wearing a cyan robe, and his wrinkled old face recorded the vicissitudes of time, and the corners of the old man's mouth squirmed with difficulty before he said bitterly: "Why? I'll tell you why, because we don't have guns in our hands, because we don't have an army here to support us, because we don't have a strong navy."

Every time the old man said a word, everyone's hearts jumped violently. Yes, without a gun, do you want everyone to fight with others with their bare hands? Without the support of an army of their own, how could the British take these overseas wanderers seriously? How could a Chinese army come to this faraway Malaysia without a strong navy?

The young man looked at the pretended reserved faces of the British soldiers not far away and the contemptuous gaze that could not be concealed in his eyes, clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, his face showed a look of humiliation, his teeth bit his lips so that a row of deep tooth marks appeared, wisps of blood seeped out of the tooth marks, and finally endured a sad voice and yelled, "Everyone go, we will come to take revenge for this matter today sooner or later"

This young man was obviously a leading figure among his peers, and after listening to his words, dozens of young men forcibly suppressed the anger in their hearts, and walked back with the crowd.

After the young men who took the lead left, the rest of the people gradually dispersed and walked back.

Seeing that these 'troublemakers' finally dispersed, the contempt in the eyes of the British officers behind became even stronger, and he skillfully pulled the Wilberly-Scott revolver in his hand into a circle and stuffed it into the holster, and said to the British soldiers behind him: "Dealing with these cowardly yellow-skinned pigs can only make them remember it with a gun, soldiers, if those pigs come to make trouble again in the future, you will have to tell them the gun in your hand whether the bullet is hard or their head is hard, understand?" ”

"Hahaha" The British soldiers behind him laughed insolently, and some even shouted: "Captain Webber, I heard that your ancestors are nobles, aren't you afraid of losing the face of the nobles by doing this?" ”

Captain Webb turned and walked back, grumbling as he went, "Hell, I always thought that aristocratic etiquette was reserved for true gentlemen and beautiful young ladies, not for the sake of the rude and savage natives of the East, and I was going in to report to Lord Jelson and General Percival, and you should keep an eye on the gates, and if those yellow-skinned monkeys come to harass us again, do not be polite, and you may open fire at once, which is the right granted to us by General Percival himself." ”

Following Captain Webb's complaints, he pushed open the closed door behind him and made his way to the richly decorated manor.

This lavishly decorated manor house is the official residence of Lord Wilson, the British Governor in Malaysia, where Lord Wilson lives and works on weekdays.

At this time, Wilson was in a very happy mood sitting on a rattan chair embroidered with purple bauhinia cushions, the soft cushions and the large and comfortable rattan chair made him feel very comfortable, and the delicate and elegant fragrance in front of the table, depicting a classical Chinese style cup, made him feel appetizing.

Gently picking up the beautifully made cup and taking a sip of coffee, Wilson sighed and said to a middle-aged man in front of him wearing a British army uniform: "These damn Chinese people, just adding a little tax to make such a big move, will really make trouble for me, if it weren't for the fact that they can still make money for our British Empire, I would have handed them over to those natives to be sent by them." ”

Because of the important position of Malaysia in the British Asian colonies, the British government specially set up a Malayan command in Malaysia, which has a total of two Malay infantry brigades, one Indian army, one Indian infantry brigade and other British infantry regiments, a total of nearly 60,000 people, all under the command of Lieutenant General Percival.

Lieutenant General Percival put down the beautifully crafted coffee cup in his hand and said reservedly, "No, Lord Wilson, you are wrong. These Chinese people still have a little strength, at least their porcelain is not bad. ”

"Hehe" Wilson smiled, he nodded, "yes, at least their porcelain is doing well, but that's about it, isn't it?" ”

There was a knock on the "tuk-tuk" door.

Lieutenant General Percival smiled and said to Lord Wilson, "It seems that Captain Webb has solved the problem. After saying that, Percival turned his head and said loudly, "Come in"

As soon as he finished speaking, Captain Webb walked in with his head held high, raised his hand and saluted an English military salute and reported loudly: "General Percival, Lord Wilson, Captain Webb reports to you that I and the soldiers have driven away all the pigs at the door, please instruct"

"Captain Webb," Lord Wilson said lightly and reservedly, "You are an army officer of the British Empire, not those rude and savage cowboys of the American West, don't say that people are pigs at every turn, this is against the etiquette of our aristocracy, do you understand?" ”

Captain Webber said with an unchanging face, "My Lord, I am sorry to say such a thing, but I really can't think of a better adjective to describe the natives of the East who should be tied with a long braid. ”

"Ha" Lord Wilson couldn't help but laugh dumbly, he shook his head helplessly, "General Percival, this subordinate of yours is really upright. ”

Facing his subordinates, Pasiva's expression became serious: "Captain Webber, next time if something like this happens again, you don't report it to me and the Governor, I authorize you to fire directly on the spot, do you understand?" ”

"Yes General, fire on the spot, I'll go to the door at once, build a few more machine-gun emplacements, and if they come again, I'll definitely teach them a good lesson," Captain Webb saluted, and went out.

Looking at the figure of his subordinates going out, Lieutenant General Percival shook his head and said to Lord Wilson, "Lord Wilson, I still have some confusion about the government's decision, why the government wants to do this kind of killing chickens and eggs this time, after all, wool has to be sheared again and again in order to obtain greater benefits, and now we are happy with the one-time harvest of those Oriental natives, but the future tax will also be cut off." ”

Lord Wilson smiled contemptuously: "This is our Prime Minister, who is teaching the natives of the East who do not understand the rules." In the last air battle in Great Britain, those Chinese people dared to send people to help those Germans interfere with and attack our radar station, which caused us a lot of losses, so our prime minister, Mr. Prime Minister, put forward this bill in the House of Lords, and those parliamentarians saw that there was money in the account and could teach a lesson to the Chinese branch factory and quickly passed this bill, after all, in the air war in the past few months, we lost thousands of fighters and more than 500 pilots, and the empire also needs some funds to replenish the treasury, What's more, if we don't teach those damned Chinese people a lesson, won't the majesty of our British Empire be gone? ”

Lieutenant General Percival shook his head a little puzzled, "Dear Lord Wilson, although I am a soldier and do not know much about economics, I still think that what the Imperial Council has done this time is really inappropriate. Although the current Huaxia Navy has no actual combat experience, after all, the quantity and quality of their warships are there, and no matter how weak a child pulls the trigger of a rifle, he can still kill people. ”

After listening to Lieutenant General Percival's words, the Governor smiled, "Dear Percival, but don't forget, the question is whether this kid has the courage to pull the trigger?" You must know that the navy is not something that can be manipulated by sending a few illiterate people, even if the Chinese fleet really comes, the battleships "Prince of Wales" and "Counterattack" stationed outside the harbor will send their courage to the bottom of the sea. That's when they understand that the navy is not something that a group of natives can afford. ”

After listening to Lord Wilson's words, Lieutenant General Percival shook his head slightly, he always felt that this incident would anger those Chinese people, especially their president, who was not very good-tempered.

At this moment, Uncle Wang and the young man, who had just returned home, were also sitting at home sulking.

The quick-tempered young man circled back and forth in the room: "Uncle Wang, those British have made it clear that they want to swallow our factories and industries, if we swallow our anger any longer, then the little inheritance we have accumulated for generations will be snatched away by those foreign devils."

"Just you, Zhou Zihao, do you understand these truths? Are we all blind? Uncle Wang glared at the young man: "We entrusted Mr. Chen to return to China for help, just to hope that the government can negotiate with the British side as soon as possible, and now that Mr. Chen has not sent back the news, you will take people to storm the governor's palace, what if those British soldiers really shoot and kill and wound our people?" ”

"It's better to be killed by them than to be angry" Zhou Zihao said unconvinced: "I'm really fed up with this kind of bird anger, we pay so many taxes to them every year, not only do they not protect us, but now they have to set up a clever purpose to seize our factories and enterprises, is this still reasonable?" You must know that these foundations are the blood and sweat accumulated by the older generation through hard work and hard work. ”

"Okay," Uncle Wang waved his hand: "I know the truth better than you, Zihao, I tell you, next time, if you incite the villagers to make trouble with the British, I will never spare you." Now the most important thing for us is to wait for Mr. Chen's instructions, I will go to the telegraph office now and wait for news, you will go back to the house for me now, and you will not be allowed to come out, and there must be no more accidents now," Uncle Wang said and went out.
