From the time he ascended to Jakarta, the shock and surprise in John's eyes never stopped.

Jakarta, John is not the first time to come, the last time he came to Jakarta, it was still the world of the Dutch, and it has not been long since the owner has changed.

Although the port of Jakarta was busy at the beginning, it is far from a third of what it is now.

A large number of ships came in and out of the port of Jakarta, bringing in a lot of resources, including iron ore, coal mines, and more all kinds of ships transporting Chinese.

The most shocking thing is that several British warships docked in the harbor, and the British battleships that remain in the flames of war still fly the white flag of surrender.

It turned out that the British Far East Fleet, which was not completely annihilated, and several warships, surrendered.

It's just that this kind of news is worse than the total annihilation.

The British Royal Navy actually surrendered, and if the British Far East Fleet fought to the death, then the Far East Fleet still had some glory.

When he saw these British warships still flying the white flag, looked at the large number of Chinese around him pointing and pointing, listened to their excited talk, and introduced this great victory to the newcomers who had just arrived, John seemed to have seen the British nailed to the frame of shame.

However, John agrees with Fan Yize's approach, every Chinese who has just come to Jakarta, when they see these defeated British warships blue like treasures, will never leave this place, and will quickly recognize this place.

As an American who has been abroad for many years, John has worked in the embassies of several countries and has also traveled to ancient Oriental countries, so he can understand the inner world of the Chinese to some extent.

At this moment, there was no praise or disapproval, nor was it mixed with any personal emotions, John admired Fan Yize from the bottom of his heart.

An amazing Chinese.

However, as an American, and as a special envoy who had come here on behalf of the national interests of the United States, John felt that his trip would be quite difficult to accomplish the tasks assigned to him by Washington.

John didn't like it, but he didn't have a choice.

On that day, he didn't see Fan Yize, and John could only rest assured that he was anxious. Fortunately, to John's reassurance, the German envoy did not see Fan Yize either.

The next day, Fan Yize was the first to meet John.

When John walked into the small courtyard, he was stunned.

He never thought that Fan Yize was such a character, and the place where he lived was so simple, there was only a small courtyard in front of him, and he couldn't see any expensive decorations.

And there is not even a living room or a reception room, so simple rattan chairs are placed in the courtyard.

"Mr. Fan, I really can't imagine that you actually live in such a place." The directness of Westerners is not subtle at all, John said in surprise as soon as he sat down.

"I'm a casual person, and in fact, I like it too." Fan Yize said flatly.

"But a lot of people can't do it so casually, especially those with top wealth, and almost no one can accept such a simple environment." John shook his head, with the level he knew and the class he came into contact with, no one could reach the level of Fan Yize.

"There were a lot of people who suggested that I move to a more spacious place with a dedicated servant, but that wasn't what I wanted." Fan Yize shook his head and said.

"Then Fan Yize, what do you want?" John asked, pointedly.

"I want a lot of things, and I already have what I want in my hands." Fan Yize said.

"Is it really as rumored by the outside world, Fan Yize, you plan to establish a country here?" John asked, his expression slowly becoming serious.

"What's not to do? I control more than 17,000 islands here, I control the whole society, and it is not normal to form a state. Fan Yize asked rhetorically.

"It's not that it's not impossible, it's not abnormal, it's just too surprising." John shook his head, Fan Yize wants to establish a country, the United States has no opinion, of course, based on the foreign policy of the United States, the United States will not support it, at least on the surface.

"There's nothing surprising about it, if you want to gain a foothold here, if you want to live a little better under the watchful eyes of the world's powers, you need a safe and stable home, an army strong enough that no one dares to provoke." Fan Yize said calmly.

John nodded in agreement, from a national point of view, there is nothing to blame.

"But the British and Dutch, I'm afraid, won't agree." John said.

"So what? Doesn't the UK want Malaysia and Singapore anymore? Or maybe the British don't even want Australia anymore? ”

Fan Yize's tone was very calm, but to John's ears, it was a completely different feeling.

Sharp and domineering.

Compared with the first time they met, Fan Yize's attitude at this moment has changed dramatically.

However, John didn't think it was strange at all, the results of the comprehensive investigation of Fan Yize in the United States, based on the results of the investigation of Fan Yize's various behavioral habits and personality, John had already seen it very well.

Fan Yize has this strength to threaten the British, not to mention that now, it is indeed a time for the British to worry, after all, the navy has been destroyed and the army has suffered heavy losses, Fan Yize really wants to occupy Malaysia and Singapore, and he does have that strength.

"Mr. Fan, the United States does not want you to do this, because it will completely break the situation in the Far East, and I hope you can refrain from doing so." John persuaded.

"Don't worry, as long as the British don't cause trouble, I don't look down on the British colonies now." Fan Yize said.

"That's good, I'm here to mediate between Mr. Fan and Britain on behalf of the U.S. government, and the war should not continue." John said.

"Tell me to mediate, it's better to talk to the British." Fan Yize shook his head and said.

"Is Mr. Fan unwilling to stop the war with the British?" John was confused.

"The invader is the British, and unfortunately the British invasion failed, so I want to ask the British if they want to play any more." The corners of Fan Yize's mouth curled and sneered.

"The U.S. government has been negotiating with the British on this matter, and hopes that peace will come as soon as possible." John said.

"In that case, what does the United States want?" Fan Yize asked bluntly.

The rhythm of the conversation changed abruptly, and John was already mentally prepared, and then said: "Mr. Fan still retains his American citizenship, and has recently invested in the steel, petroleum, and automobile industries in the United States, and the United States also very much hopes to deepen cooperation with Mr. Fan, especially the country that Fan Yize is about to establish, establish close trade relations between the two countries, and deepen economic cooperation and exchanges." The U.S. military also hopes to deepen friendship and cooperation with Mr. Fan. ”
