"Your Excellency, what should we do now? The consul of Xinhua in Bandar Seri Begawan has already threatened us with war on behalf of their king and government! This time, the indigenous riots in Sarawak have given them an excuse to go to war against us! If war breaks out, we will not be the opponent of Xinhua at all! The Sultanate of Brunei is going to perish! Omar Ali Saifutin II said with some panic.

"Your Majesty, Xinhua Kingdom has always had ambitions for us, and this is something that everyone knows! It's just that this time the indigenous riots in Sarawak came at an inopportune time! Garcia, Prime Minister of the Sultanate of Brunei, said. Garcia is a bearded middle-aged man in his forties, Omar Ali Saifudin II does not take care of political affairs, and the government affairs of the Sultanate of Brunei have always been handled by Garcia!

"Prime Minister, if the Xinhua Army really invades us, how can we resist their attack?" Omar Ali Saifutin II asked anxiously. He doesn't want to become the king of the country, the Sultanate of Brunei, which has been inherited for hundreds of years, if it is destroyed in his hands, then he will become a sinner of the country! Despite his penchant for pleasure, Omar Ali Saifudin II was not unreasonable!

"Your Majesty, what we can do now is not to give Xinhua an excuse! Since His Majesty has promised the Xinhua Kingdom to stabilize the situation in Sarawak within ten days, if our army can suppress those damned natives. If we appease the Chinese who have suffered losses, then Xinhua will have no excuse to send troops to us! Prime Minister Garcia said.

"Yes, yes, that's it! Our army. Surely you will be able to defeat the damned natives! This time, I'm going to kill them all! Omar Ali Saifutin II said through gritted teeth. He blamed everything on the natives of Sarawak, and if it hadn't been for the riots of these natives, he would not have been threatened by the new country. He didn't think about it, wasn't the reason why the natives rioted because the taxes of the Sultanate of Brunei were too harsh and the natives couldn't survive?

"Your Majesty. We have to be prepared for both! In the unlikely event that our army fails and cannot stabilize the situation in Sarawak within ten days, we will have to find other ways to restrain the new country! Prime Minister Garcia continued.

"Prime Minister. What else can be done? Say it quickly! Omar Ali Saifutin II asked eagerly.

"Your Majesty, the only people in Nanyang who can compete with Xinhua are the British! We went to the British and begged them to support us! With their support. Let's not be afraid of Xinhuaguo! Prime Minister Garcia said.

"But. Xinhua has just defeated the Spaniards and the Dutch, will they take the British? Omar Ali Saifutin II asked.

"Of course! Britain is now the hegemon of the world, and the Spaniards and Dutch are defeated by the British! The fact that Xinhua was able to defeat the Spaniards and the Dutch does not mean anything. As long as the British help us, we will not be in danger! Prime Minister Garcia affirmed.

"Well, let's go to the British! Prime Minister, you rush to Singapore immediately! Ask the British for help! As long as the British can protect us, we can promise them all conditions! Omar Ali Saiftin II said. Although he knows the truth. The British are also not a good thing, and they have always had ambitions for the Sultanate of Brunei. But. Compared with Xinhua, the British seem to be a little more merciful, Xinhua destroys the country at every turn, and then turns its own people into slaves. Omar Ali Saifudin II feared that he would follow in the footsteps of the Sultanate of Sulu. Therefore, even the British who know the Tao are uneasy and kind, but they can only choose the lesser of two evils!

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Prime Minister Garcia nodded, knowing what Omar Ali Saiftin II was worried about. In fact, how could he not be? As the prime minister of the Sultanate of Brunei, he can be said to be above 10,000 people under one person. If the Sultanate of Brunei is destroyed, he will lose his life. If nothing else, even if it is for the sake of his own life, he will try his best to reach an agreement with the British!

At noon that day, Garcia, the prime minister of the Sultanate of Brunei, took a clipper ship of the Brunei Navy and rushed to Singapore to ask for help from the British Straits Settlements. It is 1,200 kilometers from Bandar Seri Begawan to Singapore, and it will take two days for the Clipper to arrive.

After the Bumiputera riots broke out in Sarawak, the British Straits Settlements received the news the next day. The British also had a lot of interests in the Sultanate of Brunei, where some British mined mines, or ran rubber plantations, and so on. The riots would also affect trade between Britain and the Sultanate of Brunei. If it had been before, the British would have demanded that the Sultanate of Brunei suppress the riots as soon as possible, otherwise they would have to take matters into their own hands. This time, however, the Straits Settlements did not react in any way. It's not that the British have changed their sex, it's that they have developed a fear of Xinhua. If the British dared to send troops to Sarawak, they would definitely be regarded as a threat by the Xinhua State. When the time comes, a conflict will definitely break out between Xinhua and Britain. Before completely taking India and manufacturing warships and weapons that could restrain the Xinhua army, Britain tried its best to avoid conflict with the Xinhua country!

On the evening of October 20, the Prime Minister of the Sultanate of Brunei, Garcia, arrived in Singapore. Despite the fatigue of the journey, he directly asked to see Bonham, the British governor of the Straits Settlements. Now, time is very precious to the Sultanate of Brunei, and one more minute of delay will make the Sultanate of Brunei more dangerous!

Governor Bonham was a little surprised to learn of the visit of the Prime Minister of the Sultanate of Brunei, but then he thought of Prime Minister Garcia's intention to visit! However, this made Governor Bonham a little depressed. Previously, the British Straits Settlements wanted to invade the Sultanate of Brunei, and the Sultanate of Brunei united with the Dutch to resist the British, leaving the British plot in vain. Now, the Sultanate of Brunei has taken the initiative to bow to Britain, but Britain does not dare to swallow the Sultanate of Brunei. After all, the Sultanate of Brunei shares a border with Xinhua, and if a conflict breaks out between Britain and Xinhua, the troops sent to the Sultanate of Brunei will definitely be dead!

Even so, Governor Bonham met with Prime Minister Garcia.

"Your Excellency the Governor! This time, Xinhua wants to invade the Sultanate of Brunei under the pretext of the riots that broke out among the indigenous people of Sarawak, and beg Britain to help the Sultanate of Brunei to contain the invasion of Xinhua! As soon as he saw Governor Bonham, Prime Minister Garcia said straight to the point.

"Your Excellency Prime Minister, the riots that broke out in Sarawak are indeed very serious! Not only the lives and property of the Chinese have been threatened, but the lives and property of us British people have also been seriously threatened! The Sultanate of Brunei must suppress the rebellion as soon as possible and ensure the stability of Sarawak! Governor Bonham also said.

"Your Excellency the Governor, our government has sent a large army to suppress the indigenous rebellion in Sarawak! At least, we need time! Damn Xinhua, they only gave us ten days, and if we can't suppress the riots within ten days, they will invade the Sultanate of Brunei! Prime Minister Garcia complained about the barbarism and unreasonableness of Xinhuaguo. In fact, the ten-day period was not proposed by Xinhua at all, but by Sultan Omar Ali Saifudin II of the Sultanate of Brunei Darussalam himself. However, in order to convince the British, Prime Minister Garcia is putting on Xinhuaguo's head!

Governor Bonham frowned, he knew the Sultanate of Brunei well and the fighting power of their army. It is possible to suppress the rebellion in ten days, but it is very difficult! Xinhua put forward such a condition, it is completely to invade the Sultanate of Brunei!

"Your Excellency Prime Minister, are you sure that you will suppress the riots within ten days?" Governor Bonham asked.

"Your Excellency, we will do our best! However, we are worried that something will happen! If Xinhua uses troops against the Sultanate of Brunei, we are not their opponents at all! Prime Minister Garcia said frankly.

"Your Excellency the Governor, now the Sultanate of Brunei needs help from the British! If the UK is willing to help us, we can agree to anything! Prime Minister Garcia pleaded.

Undoubtedly, this is a good opportunity for Britain to take control of the Sultanate of Brunei. Of course, the premise is that it will not be blocked by Xinhuaguo. But, is this possible? This time, Xinhua is obviously going to take the opportunity to annex the Sultanate of Brunei. If Britain protects the Sultanate of Brunei, Xinhua will inevitably break out into a fierce conflict with Britain, even a war! After this battle between the Xinhua Kingdom and the Spanish Expeditionary Force, Britain has figured out the combat strength of the Xinhua Army! It can be said that with the current military strength of the British Straits Settlements, even if it receives support from India, it is not an opponent of Xinhua. The 'Shark-class' cruisers of the Xinhua Navy, which often appeared off the coast of Singapore, were enough to make the British Navy's East India Fleet look like a great enemy! Although the Sultanate of Brunei is a piece of fat, however, this piece of fat is smeared with poison! If you're not careful, you'll die!

Governor Bonham had always been committed to expanding the British power in the South Seas, but after the strong rise of the new Chinese state, the British had to change their strategy. Without all certainty, the British must avoid a conflict with Xinhua. After all, Britain, although powerful, is thousands of miles away! It is very difficult to project strong strength to Nanyang!

"Your Excellency the Prime Minister, it is a great pity! Although we are very indignant at the shameless and barbaric acts of the new Chinese state, we can do nothing about the possible crisis of the Sultanate of Brunei! The British Empire, though powerful, is too far from the South Seas! We can't beat Xinhua with the strength we have here! Governor Bonham directly refused! (To be continued......)
