"Sarawak has 30,000 soldiers, all of them are infantry, but what is there in South China, they have defeated Japan, the most powerful country in Asia, they have a powerful fleet, there are hundreds of thousands of infantry, I heard that there are even weapons flying in the sky that can directly attack things thousands of miles away, can these Sarawak resist?" Chen Haidong said.

The king of Sarawak hugged his head and sat down, how did he not know this, even if this place was closed, but he was also a country, with his own source of intelligence, of course he knew the strength of Nanhua, otherwise when he knew that Nanhua was coming, he instinctively chose to surrender, but he was unwilling to admit defeat, if he failed, he would lose a qiē, he was unwilling to accept it.

The guards rushed in and waited for the king's orders.

"Take him down to me and put him to death." Charles. Jason. Brooke said loudly.

"Your Majesty, if you insist on executing me, then you will have no room to turn back, in fact, you also know that as long as you choose to fight to the end, the final outcome can only be death, and I begged the other party, hoping to spare your life, it is also a report of your care for me for so many years, they guarantee your safety, and the safety of your family, and allow you to return to Europe, don't you think about your children, they are still young, are they really willing to be buried with this country?" Chen Haidong persuaded hard for his own life, and also for the sake of this king who had really taken care of himself.

"Let him go, and you go out first." I don't know if it was that sentence that touched Charles. Jason. Brooke, he let the guards out of the hall, and Chen Haidong was still standing there.

Chen Haidong knew that he had already said that he had moved His Majesty, and now it was up to His Majesty the King to make his final choice.

Actually, Charles. Jason. Brooke did not have the determination and courage to rest with his country. In the minds of their Europeans, there is no such concept of swearing to fight to the end, in fact, vanity occupies the peak, and so many years of fine clothes and food, enjoying the beauty brought by rights, suddenly lost. He always felt that he would not be happy anymore, and that he might as well die.

But his family, his beloved wife, his three children, and the lovely Margaret, these are all people he cares about, and he doesn't want to lose them.

When a person has made up his mind to die, he is likely to do it on impulse, and when he is told to stop. It's not so easy to make up your mind again, people, in the end, still want to live.

In fact, not only in Sarawak, but also in Europe, especially in his home country of England, the family also bought a vast countryside, with castle villas and many investments. Their Brooke family is also a British lord and noble family, and there is no shortage of money for his life.

"You go out first. I'm going to think about it. As he spoke, the king lowered his head and pondered there, ignoring Chen Haidong no longer.

Chen Haidong had no choice but to push out the main hall, but he couldn't leave, so he had to wait outside the door for the result.

Time passed little by little, and a few hours had passed, and Chen Haidong looked at the sun that was already in the center. Knowing that time is running out, if the king is delaying, even if he wants to surrender, there is no chance.

Now he didn't care about any etiquette, Chen Haidong directly pushed open the door and walked in. Meet Charles. Jason. King Brooke's time startled Chen Haidong, and in just a few hours, His Majesty, the king who usually pays the most attention to appearance, now has unkempt hair, red eyes, and a haggard look on his face.

On the table in front of him, the ashtray was full of large and small cigarette butts, the longest cigarette butt, obviously only one or two puffs, and then extinguished in the ashtray, which clearly showed how irritable he was.

"Your Majesty, time is running out, please make a decision." Chen Haidong must urge, otherwise when the time comes, even if the king of Sarawak does not kill him, he will be killed by the Hua Fu army, who let him stop the Hua Fu army from attacking for several hours, who is tricked, will not be happy.

The king stared at Chen Haidong with red eyes, staring at Chen Haidong's body cold, and then said slowly: "Even if I want to resist now, I guess there is no chance, Nanhua won, but I don't have the ability to stop their footsteps, I choose to surrender and push out Sarawak." ”

"Chen, please go and inform the army of the South China Kingdom, and the king of Sarawak, Charles. Jason. Brooke, Brooke II, is ready to surrender, but demands the necessary rights, and I will return to my native England with my family, in the hope that they will keep their promises. ”

In the end, Charles. Jason. Brooke made a rational decision, which also made Chen Haidong breathe a sigh of relief.

"Yes, I will convey your opinion, I believe that the South China Congress will keep its promise to let you and your family leave Borneo and return to England safely." Chen Haidong said.

Chen Haidong withdrew from the main hall, did not dare to delay, and led people to the Nanhua military camp quickly.

In the Sarawak Wartime Headquarters of the Huafu Army of South China, several division commanders and chiefs of staff were discussing the matter.

"It's been five hours, and it looks like Sarawak isn't going to surrender." said the chief of staff of the eleventh division.

"I think they are likely to choose to surrender, after all, the choice of life and death, in the end, even if it is full of gold, there are groups of beautiful families, and there is no life to enjoy, they cherish their lives more, didn't Your Majesty once say that when Europeans are obviously defeated, most of them will choose to surrender, this is their history caused them to think so, they feel that temporary surrender is not a shameful act." The commander of the 10th Division shook his head and said.

"Sometimes I really think that His Majesty is really knowledgeable, we have Western history in our class, and at first I thought that it didn't work for us, but now it seems that sometimes it can really influence our decisions, and it will also allow us to avoid a lot of unnecessary losses." said the chief of staff of the 10th Division.

"There is still half an hour to go, we have to prepare in advance, notify the front-line command, let them prepare, and attack as soon as the time comes, and if Sarawak does not surrender, then we will take it with our own hands." The commander of the 11th Division said.

After receiving the order, the front-line command immediately made arrangements and waited for the moment of the attack.

At this time, Chen Haidong hurriedly arrived with his people, first went to the front line to meet the officer in front of him, and then immediately contacted the rear command to report the news, for fear that it would be too late, and the Huafu army would attack directly.

Fortunately, he arrived in time, looking at the posture of Huafu Army, he was ready to attack, Chen Haidong exhaled deeply and wiped the sweat drops on his forehead.

The 11th Division took over the defense of the Bintulu periphery, accepted the surrender of the army, collected guns and other weapons, and strictly ordered the 30,000 defending troops of Sarawak to stay in the barracks and not go out, while the perimeter was full of armed Huafu army troops, as long as these Sarawak troops made the slightest move, they could directly launch military operations.

The 10th Division entered the city of Bintulu and imposed martial law on the entire city, blocking the streets, temporarily imposing military control, and no one was allowed to go out, while the commander of the 10th Division, as a representative, went directly to the Sarawak royal palace to receive the letter from Charles. Jason. Brooke's surrender.

Mu Baowen, the commander of the 10th Division, walked to Charles. Jason. In front of King Brooke, looking at the somewhat emaciated Englishman with flaxen hair and white skin, he said, "Charles. Jason. Mr. Brooke, you have made the right choice to avoid the war in Bintulu and in Sarawak as a whole, and I think the people of Sarawak will remember you as an enlightened monarch. ”

"I'm Charles now. Jason. Sir Brooke, not the King of Sarawak, the Grand Duke of Brunei, I hope that South China will keep your promise and allow me to return to England with my family and possessions. "Charles. Jason. Brooke said with some discouragement.

"We Chinese are the most faithful people, we can allow you to take away one-tenth of the property of the Sarawak royal palace, and the rest will be the spoils of the South China Kingdom, I think those riches are enough for you to live the rest of your life, including your family." Mu Baowen said very gentlemanly, and his answer made Charles. Jason. Brooke breathed a sigh of relief, and it seemed that he had taken his life and that of his family.

"Alright gentlemen, now that this is under your control, I'm going to pack my bags, farewell." Charles. Jason. Brooke didn't want to say anything, as a loser, he couldn't be happy in the face of the winner's mood, not to mention that his current life was still in the hands of others, so it was better to leave here, the province of Nanhua was changing, and he would die unexplained at that time.

"Charles. Jason. Brooke, I have one more thing that I would like to consult with you, and that is about the wealth that has been given to you. Mu Baowen's words stopped the king of Sarawak, who was about to turn around.

Charles. Jason. Brooke's face changed, and he said urgently: "Are you going to change your mind so soon, you can't do this, this is immoral, and it is a sign of no credibility." ”

Mu Baowen interrupted Charles. Jason. Brooke continued to nag and said: "No, no, no Mr. Brooke, please listen to me, you know, if you carry a large amount of gold and silver to sea, it is not a very safe thing, you know, there are many pirates at sea, and maybe even those foreign warships, when they see you full of gold, they can't help but be tempted, so I have a mention, I don't know if you want to listen to it." ”

Charles. Jason. Brooke frowned, and thought of this, from Nanyang to England, it takes at least a month at sea, and he carries a lot of treasures, if this news is known, it is inevitable that he will be rich, and he will be robbed by pirates and even warships of other countries, which is really a headache.

And it is difficult to guarantee that this news will not leak out of South China. (To be continued......)
