The maid put the big bowl on the tray in front of Davis, opened the lid, and put a lot of dishes and bowls on the edge of the big bowl, then turned around and stepped aside, Davis pointed to the contents of the big bowl and smiled: "This is a Chinese dumpling, which is filled with pork and cabbage, beef and radish......"

Rikaf interrupted Davis's words with a light cough and said, "Mr. Governor, compared with Malaya and the Philippines, we have the most Chinese in Indonesia!" If Lin Yuan unites with the Chinese to raise an incident, we will be extremely dangerous! That's why I built yì: start from Sumatra and go all the way to Java, and slaughter all the Chinese! ”

Davis picked up a dumpling with chopsticks, dipped it in soy sauce in a plate, and said with a smile: "Mr. Commander, wouldn't you have that time to taste more Chinese food?" Kill all the Chinese? What do you say about this behavior? To use a Chinese idiom: set yourself on fire! Originally, the Chinese were provoking the British, and the British were racking their brains to think of countermeasures, and your side stabbed the Chinese, and Lin Yuan's troops came over in the blink of an eye! The happiest are the British! ”

Rikav frowned, and said, "Mr. Governor, now we should advance and retreat with the British."

Davis laughed loudly: "Mr. Commander, you are an excellent and upright soldier, you don't know how disgusting politics is, the British say on the surface that they are advancing and retreating with us, but what about the reality?" You see he sent people to bribe high-ranking Spanish officials in the Philippines and provoked Filipinos to kill Chinese in the Philippines, and as a result, Chinese sent troops in a blink of an eye, and poor Philippines and Spain became cannon fodder......"

Although Davis knew a little about Chinese culture, he didn't learn it at home, and here he confused "driving fish for the abyss and finches for the bushes" and "driving the tiger and the wolf to kill people with a knife". Of course, Rikaf couldn't hear it, he only understood that Davis was going to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, so he left helplessly.

The Dutch can sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, but the British are one of the two tigers, they can only fight, not watch, the governor of Malaya at this time, Tom? Standy, who was based in Singapore, was so angry when he heard that the Sultan of Brunei had agreed to China's economic cooperation plan and immediately called a meeting of his think tank.

Standi said first: "You should have heard that the Sultan of Brunei agreed to the economic cooperation plan of the Chinese, and Brunei is the place of our British Empire, can we watch the Chinese do whatever they want on it?" ”

A think tank said: "Your Excellency the Governor, I think: there are very few Chinese in Brunei, even fewer combat troops, we have a lot of troops in Malaya, and then gather the local natives, we have an absolute advantage in troops, we should immediately enter Brunei and drive out the Chinese!" And then for a sultan! Let the rest of the world see: this is the end of the betrayal of our British Empire! ”

Standy shook his head and said, "When I left London, Her Majesty the Queen and Lord Xiang repeatedly told me: Don't clash with the Chinese, how can we go against the orders of the Queen and the Prime Minister and attack the Chinese?" ”

Another think tank also said: "Yes, we really can't attack the Chinese!" ”

The previous think tank frowned and said, "If you are bullied and can't resist, isn't this swallowing your anger?" When did we, the British Empire, swallow our anger? ”

Steindy thought to himself: "The Far East Fleet was destroyed by Lin Yuan's fleet, won't the country swallow its anger?" At this time, the previous think tank continued: "What are the Chinese?" Remember the years 184o and 186o? Our British Empire fought two battlefields with the Chinese for the glorious and sacred free trade, the first war, we occupied their city of Guangzhou and forced them to open the port. ”

"In the second war, we invaded their capital, drove out their emperor, burned down their royal garden, the Old Summer Palace, and took countless precious cultural relics! Our British Empire is so glorious in history, how can we now watch the Chinese ride on our heads and! ”

A think tank sighed lightly and said: "Don't mention the matter of the Old Summer Palace again, the French have already returned all the looted cultural relics to China." ”

The previous think tank was still about to speak, but Standy waved his hand lightly and said: "If we fight this battle, wouldn't it be best to prevent the Chinese from taking advantage of this to find us trouble?" ”

A thinker said, "But Lord Governor, this seems difficult, right?" Now it's just us and the Dutch in the area, will the Dutch send troops to help us? ”

Standy sneered: "I know too well Davis, the Dutch governor in Indonesia, that is, the most cunning fox on the big 6 in Europe, so he will not provoke the Chinese for our British Empire." ”

The thinkers asked, "So what should we do?" ”

Standy chuckled softly: "I think of a person who can help us solve a trouble, both to drive away the Chinese who have entered Brunei, but not to lead the disaster to our British Empire!" ”

The thinkers asked in unison, "Who is that person?" ”

Standy said a name, and the wise men exclaimed in unison: "It is him, Governor, you are so clever!" ”

The next day, on January 6, 1898, Brunei regained its tranquility after a stormy night, and the Sultan of Brunei had "accepted his fate" and no longer resisted Zhong Xinyuan and Zhang Hua and others, and also held a banquet to entertain Zhong Xinyuan and Zhang Hua, and Deng Shichang and other senior generals were also invited ashore.

The banquet was going on, and suddenly a Malay soldier ran in and reported: "Report to the Sultan, Lin Meng suddenly appeared a large number of British ** team assembled!" ”

"Lin Meng" is a town in Malaya, a few feet away from Brunei, only more than 20 kilometers away from Brunei City, the Sultan panicked when he heard this, and said: "It must be the British who sent troops, Chinese friends, didn't you promise that the British would never send troops?" ”

Deng Shichang laughed loudly on the side: "What are you panicking about, the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, little Yingyi, I don't care about the Heavenly Dynasty!" ”

Zhang Hua thought to himself: "The British dare to send troops? Lin Yuan and I analyzed in advance that the UK would never do anything to China because of a small Brunei, what is going on? Zhang Hua then smiled and said: "Don't panic, continue to eat, the British are definitely not our opponents, I will go and contact Lin Shuai!" ”

The Sultan nodded again and again and said, "If Lin Shuai takes care of this matter, I will rest assured." ”

Zhang Hua got up and left the table, returned to the post house, used the communicator to contact Lin Yuan, and said, "The British are assembling in Lin Mengzhen and may attack us. ”

Lin Yuan thought for a while and said: "Don't panic, the British's move is just a deterrent, they will not dare to attack, you can rest assured!" ”
