Chapter Eighty-Four: Singing on the Stage

The reason why David Sassoon was so calm on the way to escape was because his wealth had long since been transferred to the Far East, and he could naturally have nothing to fear.

As for the properties in Mumbai, he believed that sooner or later they would be able to recover them, after all, it was those Anglo-Indian people who rebelled, and what did it have to do with their Sassoon family?

No matter how poor it is, with John Francis Davis, the governor of Hong Kong, supporting, the Sassoon family will definitely be sheltered, and it will be easy to bring down a stunned young man like Henry Harding, who has connections in London.

John Francis Davis is known as "the least popular governor in history", but in fact Pu Ding Cha left a mess for his successor.

When Davis took over, the area of Xiangdao was almost lawless, filthy, violent, and without the slightest order.

There is no household registration, there is a lot of mobility, the customs are useless, some people land on the island to commit murder, and then leave with a swagger, and when the British patrol finds out, there is nothing they can do.

However, these usually do not threaten the interests of the British high-level, after all, most of them live in large houses and are guarded by bodyguards.

The biggest problem Davis faced, which was the most common problem in the colonies, was that he could not make ends meet, and he required a lot of investment from the British government every year.

However, according to British estimates, although the construction and maintenance costs of Xiangdao are huge, theoretically speaking, the income should be higher.

At least it should be at the level of Austrian East Africa, or Austrian Chenla. However, the reality is that at this time, Xiangdao is only one-tenth of the former, and the latter is one-tenth.

This problem can be seen by fools, so Pu Ding Cha was dismissed, and what Davis had to do was to let Xiangdao himself pay for the construction and maintenance of his garrison.

Coupled with the "Qing Pirate Incident" in the book, Xiangdao at this time was facing greater pressure than in history.

Davis, who had just arrived in the Far East, naturally needed a local knowledge, and the Sassoon family had already learned the news from London in advance.

David Sassoon's second son, Elias Sassoon, has become Davis's guest, and the Sassoon family has infiltrated all walks of life in the Governor's District.

Davis can't do anything to their family if he wants peace in the Far East, and Henry Harding's actions must not be authorized by London, otherwise David Sassoon would not dare to be so fearless.

As soon as the Sassoons arrived in Kalaika, they were warmly welcomed by the local king, Kieran Vasjie, who, although not directly involved in the rebellion against the British, took the opportunity to launch an attack on the surrounding princely states, which to a certain extent added to the confusion.

This is not a siege of the city, but a simple robbery and destruction. To show his strength, Kieran Vasje displayed his loot on both sides of the road for the Sassoons to see.

The ultimate goal is to get the Sassoon family to buy more Caleka ***, so that he can buy more weapons from the Chamber of Commerce in Villawise to be the king of Tamil Nadu!

But David Sassoon didn't want to talk nonsense with him at this time. The former just wants to get out of India as soon as possible, after all, if the latter discovers the former's predicament, it is very likely to fall into the ground.

The two sides were aggrieved for a while, probably feeling disgusted and began to talk about business. The Sassoon family's group of more than 200 people had to use at least three boats, and in addition to the chaos, Kieran Vasjie needed to send people to check those restless people along the way, otherwise it would not be good to disturb Madame and Miss.

David Sassoon and Victor Sassoon know very well that the other party is sitting on the ground, and if they are usually the largest underworld force in the Far East, they must teach each other the rules.

It's just that now they have to pay not only for money, but also for more, and to pretend that nothing happened.

At that time, there were many currencies in India, but the most valuable one was the pound sterling.

"500,000 pounds, and send us another 700 boxes*** to be sent to the main island of Nicobah."

"Know the goods!"

Kieran Wasje was very satisfied that he was able to negotiate this big deal, and David Sassoon breathed a sigh of relief, and it seemed that this trip should be thrilling and smooth

The Far East made a sum to recover its previous losses ....

However, Franz does not intend to let this underworld legend continue, in fact, the Sassoon family's movement is under Franz's watch.

And the reason why they went to the Kalaika area to meet with Kieran Vasjie, the *** cultivation tycoon, was all within Franz's plan.

After all, Austria still needed a reason to deceive the British colonial government of India, and the fall of the Sassoon family should not be lynched, and Franz had already chosen a suitable stage for them.

Now that the "actors" are in place, the show is about to begin...

In fact, Franz has been studying the Sassoon family's plan for a long time, and he has been looking for the source of this drug since the day Vienna began to ban drugs (the previous plot).

However, the reason why it has been delayed for so many years is that it is too far away and beyond the reach of the whip, and second, there is no reasonable reason.

After all, David Sassoon's nickname of "Bombay Little Emperor" is not called for nothing, and Franz can't kill people like a dog.

Another important reason is the lack of intelligence work, for a long time Franz handed over the intelligence work of the Indian region to Villawise.

After all, Villawise is an Indian, a local snake, and theoretically this kind of intelligence gathering is not easy to capture?

To Franz's surprise, Villawise's men searched for several years and spent countless resources.

Then it was concluded that:

"The Sassoons are good people, philanthropists, peace-loving legitimate businessmen, who love nothing more than anything to help the people of the Far East who have been victimized by witch doctors, and who have traveled thousands of miles to bring them the gospel of India..."

Villa Wise's beating was not in vain, and if it was the man who wrote the information who came to Vienna, Franz promised that he would not be killed.

Later, Franz asked Archbishop Rauscher to find a group of fanatical anti-smokers among the parishioners, who were like the "environmental ***" of later generations, with the blessing of religious fanaticism, they did not care about fear, they were pervasive, and they did everything...

The results were immediate, and they soon gathered a large amount of incriminating evidence about the Sassoons, during which the group strengthened their faith.

Now even if Franz or the archbishop said that the Sassoons were good people, they would not believe it.

Driven by this strong subjective initiative, the Sassoon family stepped into the stage set by Franz.

Trankuiba, the head of the Astarte group "Anti-Narcotics", Reggie Malp, immediately decided to attack the capital of Kalaika and the port city of Buenpal, after obtaining permission from the Viceroy of British India and the exact movements of the Sassoon family.
