335 The Big Three of the South Seas
Lin Fei pointed at those Chinese with his hand and said, "Can I take them away?" ”
Williamson frowned slightly, and said: "They are all citizens of our Kingdom of the Netherlands, and it stands to reason that you can't take them away, but since you personally made a request, I can't refuse, you can take them away." ”
Williamson turned to one of his subordinates and said, "You accompany these people to the ship of the Huaxia Empire, and no obstruction is allowed on the way. The subordinate walked up to the Chinese and made a "Please follow me" gesture, and Williamson said to Lin Fei, "Now you can follow me to see the Governor, right?" ”
Lin Fei nodded slightly, Williamson walked in front, Lin Fei and Claros and others followed, Claros came to Lin Fei at this time and whispered: "Mr. Lin Fei, don't you feel strange that Dutch captain is so rude?" ”
Lin Fei thought for a while and said, "That's right, it's very strange, he's just a little captain, how dare he talk to me in that tone and wording?" ”
Claros sighed lightly, "That's because the entire Dutch kingdom looks down on the Chinese, and also looks down on your Chinese Empire, so a little captain dares to be rude to you, don't look at this Brigadier General Williamson treating you politely, that's just superficial effort, he discriminates against the Chinese even more in his bones." ”
Lin Fei said "um" and said "thank you", but he was secretly sneering in his heart, what a Claros, he was teasing my anger all the way, wanting me to go to war with the Dutch, you don't know my hole cards yet, right?
When Lin Fei came to the main city, there were both Chinese style buildings and European style buildings in the city, obviously there were many Chinese people in the city, but there were no Chinese people on the road at all, the Chinese shops were closed, people went to the empty buildings, the aborigines on the road were all full of energy, and the Dutch were all arrogant.
The Governor's Mansion soon appeared in front of him, Governor Sumanville was demoted to greet him, Governor Sumanville was also a red-haired and red-bearded guy, quite handsome, after a set of diplomatic etiquette, Lin Fei, Governor Sumanville and Claros sat at a round table, and the Nanyang Triumvirate officially met.
Claros began by saying: "The recent brutal violence in Pontianak is something that none of us want to see, and I hope that the Chinese Empire and the Kingdom of the Netherlands will meet in a friendly manner and deal with this matter properly." ”
Governor Sumanville said coldly: "The violence in Pontianak is an internal matter of our Kingdom of the Netherlands, and I don't want to see outsiders intervene. ”
Lin Fei heard that Governor Sumanville was arrogant, so he-for-tat, "I don't want to meddle in the internal affairs of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, but the Chinese are being brutally persecuted, I can't stand idly by, I came this time mainly to evacuate all the Chinese in Pontianak." ”
The Chinese are industrious and simple, with a lot of wealth in their hands, how can the Dutch let them go? Governor Sumanville snorted coldly and said proudly: "Mr. Lin Fei, although the Chinese in Pontianak are of the same culture and race as you, they are citizens of our Kingdom of the Netherlands after all, and if you want to take them away, we will not agree." ”
Seeing Su Manwei's resolute tone, Lin Fei frowned, "Mr. Su Manwell, is there no room for turnaround?" ”
Governor Sumanville solemnly said: "This matter is a matter of dignity for our Kingdom of the Netherlands, and we will not agree to it under any circumstances." ”
Lin Fei looked at Governor Sumanville, then at Claros, and said to Claros: "Mr. Claros, it seems that Mr. Sumanwell and I have reached an impasse, so I think this round of talks will come here first." ”
Claros said "yes" and then smiled: "Since the two sides can't reach an agreement, let's end the first round of negotiations." ”
Governor Sumanville nodded and said "I agree", and Lin Fei immediately got up to say goodbye and walked out with Claros.
Inside the room, Governor Sumanville waved Williamson to the front and whispered: "Look at what Lin Fei and Claros mean, the Chinese seem to have formed an alliance with the British, what do you think?" ”
Williamson frowned in contemplation, shook his head, and said in a low voice, Governor Sumanville lowered his voice and said: "Order our fleet to exercise restraint with all its might, and no matter what the Chinese and British do, no matter what the Chinese and British do, they are not allowed to attack." Williamson agreed, conveying the order.
Lin Fei and Claros returned to the inn, and Lin Fei pretended to be worried and said, "Mr. Claros, you have also seen today that the attitude of the Kingdom of the Netherlands is very tough, and I am afraid that the problem will not be solved by means of negotiations. ”
Claros heard the signs of using force from Lin Fei's words, and there was a burst of joy in his heart, but he said with a stern face: "Yes, the Kingdom of the Netherlands is really arrogant and rude, from the governor of Sumanville to the ordinary captain, it is like this, and the negotiation is useless to treat them. ”
Lin Fei said in a deep voice: "Mr. Claros, tomorrow I will go to meet with Governor Sumanville, and solemnly point out that if he does not let me withdraw from the Chinese, I will take some special measures, and I believe that Governor Sumanville can hear my voice." ”
Claros resisted his joy and asked, "What if Governor Sumanville is still tough?" What do you do? ”
Lin Fei thought for a while and said: "The Dutch warships are all old cruisers, and the level of the Spanish warships is about the same, our Dragon-class cruisers are powerful battleships that have severely damaged the Japanese Combined Fleet, and they can be captured by beating the Dutch warships, so I decided to use the Dragon-class cruisers to severely damage the Dutch fleet." ”
Claros didn't know that he had been tricked, and thought that Lin Fei had fallen into the trap, so his heart blossomed, and he stretched out his hand and gave a thumbs up, and praised: "This trick of yours is really too clever." ”
Lin Fei's expression darkened, and he said worriedly: "Mr. Claros, your fleet of the British Empire needs to give me some support. ”
Claros looked embarrassed, "We, the British Empire, are involved in this matter as mediators, and we must not send warships to use force against either side. "The cunning British wanted to see the Chinese and the Dutch fight to the death, and they wanted to stay out of it.
Lin Fei smiled slightly and said, "You don't have to use force, at tomorrow's talks, you just need to make Governor Sumanville feel that your British Empire will not stop us from attacking, this is not difficult to do, right?" ”
"It is not difficult to do," Claros agreed, "for although we are mediators, we have no duty or obligation to use force to prevent any party from acting by force. ”
Lin Fei smiled and said, "That's good, I still have something, let's see you tomorrow." Claros happily said goodbye, Lin Fei looked at Claros's back and smiled secretly in his heart, are you very happy? Rejoice now, the days you cry are to come.
That night, Lin Fei went to bed early, and in the middle of the night, there was a commotion outside the window, Lin Fei opened the curtains, only to see that Pontianak at night was full of fire, which was the aborigines smashing Chinese shops.
There was a commotion on the street downstairs of the post house, a large group of people holding torches in the distance came away, all of them were indigenous faces, in the middle of the crowd, there were several Chinese women with full body **, countless hands were thin on their bodies, outside the crowd, there was a team of Dutch policemen with loaded guns, they looked at the Chinese women who were **, showing a bad smile, but they didn't mean to stop at all.
Lin Fei gritted his teeth, closed the curtains, and secretly thought in his heart, this is all Claros deliberately provoking himself, the vicious and cunning British, the arrogant and arrogant Dutch, and the greedy and shameless natives, tomorrow, I will let you know how powerful the Chinese are.
In the turn of the day, Lin Fei, Governor Sumanville and Claros, the three giants of the South Seas, gathered again, this time Lin Fei changed his mild-mannered attitude yesterday, and directly slapped the table and roared: "Mr. Sumanville, last night, there was another violent incident against the Chinese in the city, and this morning I also saw more than a dozen naked corpses of Chinese women outside the post house, I can no longer watch my compatriots suffer **, I ask your country to immediately agree to my request to evacuate the Chinese." ”
Governor Sumanville's face changed, and he said: "Mr. Lin Fei, I reiterate the position of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, the Chinese are citizens of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, and we will never allow them to betray the Kingdom of the Netherlands..."
Lin Fei snorted coldly and said, "Since this is the case, then I have to take some special measures to protect the interests of the Chinese." ”
Governor Sumanville suddenly became furious, "Lin Fei, what do you mean by this? Want to go to war? ”
Lin Fei shrugged his shoulders, "I didn't declare war, I just said that I would take some special measures." After Lin Fei finished speaking, he gave Claros a look, meaning, it's time for you to speak, Claros happily understood, and said kindly: "I hope that both sides will not be angry, for the sake of our common interests, I hope that both sides will not fight lightly." ”
Governor Sumanville looked at Claros, "Mr. Claros, you represent the Venerable British Empire, and this time your country also intervened in this dispute as a mediator, can you watch the Chinese Empire threaten us with war and remain indifferent?" ”
Claros shrugged his shoulders helplessly and said with a wry smile: "We are a mediator, and we are only a mediator, not a protectorate of either party, no matter who threatens to use force against whom, we have no right to interfere." ”
Governor Sumanville stared at Lin Fei and Claros, and without saying a word, Lin Fei stood up and said to Governor Sumanville: "Let me ask you one last time, will you agree to my request?" If you still don't agree to my request, then I'm sorry, your fleet will be the first target of my attack. ”
Governor Sumanville slapped the table and said angrily, "Do you think our Kingdom of the Netherlands will be afraid of you? Just come on. ”
