Chapter 504: Poor Dagger
Sarawak, Kuching.
In recent times, driven by Sean and Murdoch, Kuching has attracted a lot of attention, especially in Southeast Asia, and everyone is watching how Kuching will change in the coming period.
With the analysis of various experts in the newspapers and television media, the history of Sarawak and the reasons for the current situation have been revealed.
Everyone knows that the situation has reached a point where civil war could break out at any moment.
In the morning, the fourth head of state of Sarawak, Ahmad Zaidi, held a press conference to denounce the atrocities committed by the Malay army...... Well, it doesn't seem like the Malays did do heinous things.
After denouncing the brutality of the Malay military, Ahmad Zaidi changed his face, first recounting the glorious history of the Brooke dynasty, and finally reading out the Sarawak government's decision to welcome back Charles Brooke and rebuild the kingdom of Brooke.
The atmosphere at the scene immediately became enthusiastic, and hundreds of reporters felt both shocked and calm.
It has been brewing for so long, and everyone is not stupid, how can it not be seen that the intention of the Sarawak government is now completely confirmed.
After the government's decision was read out, it entered the reporter's question session, and Ahmad Zaidi had already said goodbye and ordered a female reporter.
"May I ask if Yuan Xiansheng is ready to become independent from Malay?" The female reporter stood up and asked loudly, she was a reporter at a newspaper owned by Asia Media Group, and the questions were communicated in advance.
"Malay is a federal system, each state has its own sultan, according to the agreement in the founding contract, Sarawak and the states of the Malay Peninsula are equal and have the same rights, Sarawak is just restoring the old system." Ahmad Zaidi said with a smile.
There was no clear answer, and it was as if everything had been said.
What does it mean to listen to your words, such as listening to a seat!
"Yesterday, the Malay government announced that it was investigating the shooter, and it is suspected that the gun went off, what do you think?"
"This is an extremely irresponsible statement, without the responsibility of any government, without regard for the facts, such a government is a disgrace, a harm to the victims, a harm to King Charles, a harm to the more than 2 million people in Sarawak, we demand that the Malay military hand over the murderer immediately, the victims need justice, the people of Sarawak need justice."
In the end, the press conference can't all be discussed issues, and after more than a dozen questions, it finally came to a little exciting.
"Will the Brooke dynasty become independent from the Malays?"
"It's not for me to decide personally, it depends on the Malay government's response to this series of things, and if Sarawak is not treated fairly, I think the people of Sarawak have the right to decide their own future."
"We are a democratic government, and all rights belong to the people."
The pressure has come to the Malay government, and these days, the atmosphere in the royal palace in Kuala Lumpur has been very oppressive, everyone is talking much quieter, and laughter is not there.
There was a lot of noise in the conference room, someone proposed to hand over the murderer, what bullshit guns went off, *** won't believe it, it's too child's play.
"Hand it over? And then?" The military immediately objected loudly, "Go to a military court and sentence you to death, have you considered how to calm the emotions in the army?"
"If Sarawak proposes independence at this time, is it because you are going to the front line to fight?!"
The few who fired the shots had become idols of ordinary soldiers at the bottom of the Malay army, and with the support of the young officers, they had become not only for themselves, but for a group.
It's a bit of a book army.γ That's also normal.,The Meiji Restoration,The book is learning from the Germans.,The German *** side lost control during World War I.,Wrapped the entire Junker aristocracy,The book is also engaged in militaristic education,Military strength has increased rapidly.,During World War II, there were often officers below who disobeyed military orders and acted privately.,The war happened.,The book was also carried by the people below in the later period.γ
During World War II, Southeast Asia was occupied by the book, which shocked the Asia-Pacific region.
It's the same island country.,It's also a rapid rise from weak.,Although defeated in World War II.,But the book is still a big country.,Still.
Powerful.
After the war, Southeast Asian countries such as Malay and Indonesia will inevitably learn from their successful experiences, and what better learning object than the same island country, and the book of the Asia-Pacific cultural circle?
So it is not surprising that the same thing happened in the Malay army.
"They are disobeying military orders, and if disobedience cannot be punished, then I doubt the military's ability to control the troops and the quality of the soldiers, what kind of combat effectiveness can such an army have?" The other side also has good reasons.
"Fart, it is precisely because they are patriotic, impulsive, and hot-blooded that such people can not flinch on the battlefield, and a guy like you who can only talk about it will only be a deserter on the battlefield!"
The two sides have their own opinions, and the quarrelsome Malay Sultan has a big head.
Slamming the table, the Malay Sultan turned his head to look at the group of people on the government side who offered to hand over the murderer and asked sharply, "It's okay to hand over the man, but I ask you, will Sarawak not be independent after handing over the man?"
"Uh......" A group of people looked at each other, which was certainly impossible, and they knew it was just an excuse.
"No, what's the use of me fucking handing over, you tell me!" The Malay Sultan yelled, "Just the fuck to get them to say a few nice words that don't hurt?"
"You may not get good words!" After shouting a sentence, several people immediately shut up. The Malay Sultan turned his head to look at the military again, "It's okay not to hand over people, then I ask you, can you ensure the combat effectiveness of the military if you don't hand over people?"
"Yes!" The military people did not hesitate to answer, and he did not dare to hesitate, whether there was anything or not.
"Well, as soon as they declare their independence, go to war immediately, and then ......," the Sultan said through gritted teeth.
"I'll take the blame for the defeat and resign!" The military bigwig said loudly.
Sudan: "......"
The Malay Sultan squinted at the military boss and suspected that he was taking the opportunity to run away and get himself out.
If it only fights Sarawak, then the Malay army will definitely win, but will the outside forces not intervene?
Apparently impossible!
Now look at the U.S. warships anchored in Chunni, no matter how you look at them, they look like swords pointing at the Malay army.
Besides, there's Sean's-stirring stick.
According to intelligence, it is doubtful that several missile destroyers whose umbrella was moored in other countries disappeared.
The movement of the umbrella army is unknown, and the Malay intelligence system abroad is not well developed.
Anyway, the Malay Sultan has little confidence, obviously the other side has been planning for a long time, how can it be that he is not prepared militarily.
If the war is defeated, someone will inevitably come out to take responsibility, and that is not a simple resignation.
This big man of the Malay military is sitting precariously with a firm face, anyway, I have made a military order, and I will not admit that I have also made it.
It's a big deal to leave, and they all resigned,
Who can chase me and fight!
Kuching, with the official decision to rebuild the kingdom of Brooke, things are moving faster, Charles has already prepared the Kuching Declaration, but before that, he needs to communicate again.
It was still Sean who presided over the call. After discussing the content of the declaration, the timing of its release, and the government's response, Ahmad Zaidi said with some hesitation: "The enthronement ceremony is fine, but we can't decide on the invited guests."
"What do you mean?" Sean asked.
"We want to send invitations to the embassies of various countries, and it can be regarded as a test of the attitude of various countries towards the Brooke Kingdom."
"There are also royal families, and the attitude of the royal family is also very important." Charles added.
"How many countries do you think you can get your support?" Sean asked with a smile after a moment of deep thought.
There was silence on the call, and Ahmad Zaidi said in a deep voice, "It's hard."
They cover the sky in Sarawak and have a little influence in Southeast Asia, but out of this piece, if it weren't for Sean's vigorous publicity during this time, who the fuck would know which onion they were!
Independent statehood of such a thing, say what is the internal referendum, people
The people are self-determined, but who believes in who is the big ***.
You must first get the support of all countries, at least the hegemon in your region agrees, otherwise it will be a playhouse, and everyone will only see it as a joke.
This is the dilemma of many regions that clamored for independence, including Northern Ireland and Catalonia.
They can't solve it, and Sarawak can't solve it.
Countries look at interests from country to country, Sarawak has no international influence, and now it can't give the benefits that countries want, except for Indonesia's explicit support, no one has publicly supported Sarawak so far.
This matter is still asked to Sean.
"There are always more ways than difficulties, you have to try, send, send it!" Sean said with a smile.
There was silence again on the call, and Ahmad Zaidi finally nodded in agreement.
Charles Brooke issued the Kuching Declaration the next day, promising a constitutional monarchy in the Kingdom of Brooke, and would give great national autonomy to the major races in the country.
While welcoming the recognition, the government decided to hold an enthronement ceremony for Charles Brooke in seven days, and at the same time sent invitations to embassies in the name of the Kingdom of Brooke.
Whatever can be sent will be sent, and it doesn't matter if it comes or not, this naturally includes the Malay government.
Not only the embassies of various countries, but also the royal families of some countries in Europe, Africa, the Middle East, Southeast Asia and other countries.
In addition to this, there are also heroic posts, invitations to influential people in countries around the world, just like in Lithuania a few months ago.
With a justified reason, Sean openly arrived in Kuching on a special plane.
At the airport, Charles Brooke took Ahmad Zaidi and others to greet Sean at the airport, and there were many media filming around.
Get off the plane, shake hands, greet each other, and be interviewed.
"First, first, the first time I came to Kuching, I felt the warmth of the people of Kuching......," Sean said to reporters with a smile, "I have long heard that Sarawak is beautiful, rich in natural resources, and the people are hospitable, so I want to see it well this time."
"Yes, I have the intention to invest here, and it has always been Rockefeller's purpose to help people of all ethnic groups around the world develop together with other countries to achieve a win-win situation......
After a public speech at the airport, Sean boarded a car with Charles and drove towards the Kuching Royal Palace.
There was no one else in the car, and the first thing Charles said when he opened his mouth was, "Grandpa Sean!"
Sean: "......" good grandson.
"Don't make our relationship public." Sean whispered.
"Okay grandpa." Charles is as good as a stream.
Sean reached out and patted Charles's shoulder, there is a way that people are invincible in the world, and now Sean is really optimistic about Charles.
Many people just lack a stage where they can give full play.
The Royal Palace, which has been built for more than 100 years, was built by the second generation of King Brooke, where Charles's grandfather abdicated, and the building has been preserved, and after Sarawak joined the Malays, it was opened to the public as a tourist attraction.
The Malay government meant to lower the royal palace and quickly weaken the influence of the Brooke dynasty, but I really didn't expect that one day the people of the Brooke family would return here.
Now, it has been repossessed by the government, and the interior is being renovated, after which it will be handed over to the Brooke family as the private property of the royal family.
Don't let the king rent the palace to live in! "This is my 28th time here." As soon as he entered the palace, Charles said with emotion in his tone.
One sentence made Sean and Ahmad Zaidi very surprised, they hadn't heard Charles say it.
"I've been visiting here once a year as an adult, as a tourist." Charles's face was extremely complex, with a vision for the future and a nostalgia for the past.
"Now, you're the master of this place." Sean smiled and patted Charles on the shoulder.
"Well, definitely!" examine
Les nodded heavily.
The group came to the small chamber of the palace, and for today's meeting, the renovation of the palace was stopped.
After a little chatting for a while, he got to the point, and when Ahmad Zaidi wanted to ask how many countries he could invite, Sean preemptively said, "Don't rush the guest's questions first."
"What do you think of the size of the Brooke Kingdom?"
Everyone looked at each other, thinking that Sean would not contribute in vain and would want his share, but what did this mean?
Sean looked at Charles and smiled, "Does Natuna Island belong to Brooke?"
One sentence made Charles in a trance, and Ahmad Zaidi's faces changed wildly.
Show oneβs true colors in the end!
Sean hadn't mentioned it before, but everyone here is smart, and everyone can hear the meaning of one sentence.
Sean wants the Natuna Islands! The Natuna Islands, located outside the 10-dash line and 400 kilometers from the Tsangmu Shoals, are the only way to enter and exit the South China Sea, halfway between the Malay Peninsula and Sarawak.
The Natuna archipelago consists of the large island of Natuna and 272 islands, with a total area of 2,110 square kilometers, equivalent to one-third of Chunni, and an altitude of 959 meters.
The Natuna Islands are disputed territory, Vietnam, Indonesia, Malay, and the north have all declared that they have declared *** here, and the main reason for the dispute is that 140 miles northeast of Natuna Island was discovered in 1970 as a submarine gas field, and the island and nearby waters may have rich oil and gas resources.
Of course, Sean knows that either it is possible, or it exists.
Ten years ago, there were 15,000 Chinese in the Natuna Islands, accounting for 80% of the population, who had fought for independence on several occasions, and the Natuna Chinese had won support from the north and the bay.
After the death of the second generation of Wanwan Chiang, he sought the support of the north, and the great elder meant to wait for the return of 97 Hong Kong Island to talk about the issue of Natuna.
At present, there is still strife on Natuna***, but in fact it has been occupied by Indonesia, which migrated to Natuna in large numbers in the early 90s and currently accounts for 80% of the population.
The Chinese side put forward its request here at the Fourth China-ASEAN Informal Working Conference on the South China Sea in 1993, and in 95 it proposed that there was no dispute, and finally announced its renunciation on November 12, 2015, recognizing that Natuna belonged to Indonesia.
So, now that Sean wants to take Natuna Island through the founding of the Brooke dynasty, he must snatch it from the Indonesians.
Before the establishment of the Brooke Kingdom, it had to offend the two regional powers, Malay and Indonesia, at the same time...... How can he be!
Originally, Indonesia still supported the Brooke Kingdom, but now it ...... It's strange that Ahmad Zaidi and others can look good.
Good guys, as soon as the country is founded, it is the public enemy around!
However, Sean chose this point in time to make this request, and it was impossible for Ahmad Zaidi and others to refuse even if they wanted to.
The arrow is on the line, the matter has advanced more than half of the way, and now Sean wants to pick a pick, so he will pit them all to death.
Whether they agree or not, they have to bite the bullet.
As for the perfunctory Sean, it is simply impossible, the newly established Brooke dynasty does not have this strength.
But Indonesia is so easy to talk to? The Malay government couldn't compete with them before, let alone them.
Everyone looked at each other, and finally Ahmad Zaidi spoke, "Of course we want Mr. Sean to take the Natuna Islands, but we can't fight the Indonesians."
"Hehe, what I need is for you to bite Natuna Island and belong to the Brooke Kingdom, what I need is legal support, I don't believe that the Indonesians have the ability to snatch Natuna from me!" Sean smiled confidently.
"The British government may also obstruct it." Charles thought for a moment and added.
Natuna's geographical location is more important, and once it is obtained by Sean, it will be equivalent to the Americans planting a nail here.
The British certainly did not want to. "Britain?" Sean scoffed, "They'd better mind their own Northern Ireland!"
Northern Ireland
It's the British government's ***, once something happens, Sean has to pinch it a few times hard to awaken the memory of the British.
Sure enough, in one sentence, Charles immediately shut up.
Sean's gaze swept to Ahmad Zaidi and a few people, and a few of them nodded and recognized it, no way, he called me Sultan!
"Well, that's good, so let's talk about starting a Brooke Oil Company now!" Sean said with a smirk.
His appetite has always been good!!
When I came back from dinner, I saw that my son was eating chocolate, and when I asked if it was given by the uncle next door, I said, "Okay, don't eat it, eat it when you're fat, and put it in the refrigerator!"
My son immediately took another big bite, and I quickly grabbed it.
I looked at my son, then at the chocolate, and I clicked a bite, and my son looked at me with a blank expression.
"I'll help you bite it neatly." I said it seriously.
Son: Crying.
