Chapter 300 A complete conspiracy!
This news is definitely bad news that almost upsets Gronin, the governor of the Netherlands. You know, now the Dutch happen to have sent all the troops to conquer the Chinese country in Borneo. Now, if the British really appear within his colony, Gronin believes that the Netherlands is in the east. Fang's huge area and rich-rich colonies will be buried alive by themselves.
Even if the army gets the news and comes back in time, the colony will certainly suffer great losses, because the greed and shamelessness of the British are world-famous. Of course, although the Dutch are not bad, the national strength of both sides is not at the same level now, so the Dutch think they are one level lower.
"Mr. Governor, I swear to you that I absolutely don't mean to joke at all. Listen to me first, and you will understand why I said that. Mr. Cruyff also agrees with me very much. This is definitely a British conspiracy..." Special agent Fanny cleared his throat and slowly told the story and his judgment.
The story of the facts told from the commissioner Fanny's mouth, Groning, who was shocked by Fanny's words, listened very seriously and asked for details from time to time. However, the more he listened, the more Groening's face became heavier, and even angry.
"...When negotiating with Governor Cruyff, although it seems to be an old Chinese pirate, on the critical issue, there will always be a British pirate whispering something beside him."
"...A month before the disaster, a group of British businessmen came here, and in the massacre that night, someone saw these British merchants guarding the port area with weapons, and together with some Chinese pirates who secretly sneaked into the city of Mancicay..."
"They are pirates, a group of sea robbers who kill people and plunder money for a living, but they act like gentlemen in Mankashi. Yes, they are like those damn, extremely hypocritical British gentlemen. They drive out the indigenous people and protect the port areas where civilians and merchants of all countries live. No crime, he didn't even grab even a grain of pepper in the port area.
--------------------
"But they only targeted us in the Netherlands, watching us Dutch fall under the knives of those indigenous people who should go to hell, but they didn't respond at all and looked on coldly..."
"If there has been no previous promise, if the other party is just a group of pirates who are surrounded and suppressing people, those indigenous sultans will never be fools to sell their lives for the pirates, and they will never dare to attack Wang Kaxi so boldly, and almost slaughter all of us Dutch. It's terrible, my dear. My wife, and my poor daughter, those beasts... Every time I think of the tragedy of that night, I feel like I'm going crazy. It's too cruel. Those natives should all go to hell and shouldn't let them exist in this world. In the end, Fanny almost roared in Groning's ear. He waved his hands, staring like a patient with severe hyperthyroidism, foaming on his mouth, and shaking his head as if he had epilepsy.
"Your Excellency, think about it, will the pirates go to occupy a city? To capture the colony of a country? He even made such a request for us to release all slaves, my God, if it was a group of ignorant and barbaric pirates who only knew how to kill and plunder? Then I think there will definitely be no more hooligans and criminals in the world.
"Enough, I've said enough! Fanny, first of all, your mental state is very unstable. You need a little wine, preferably a glass of brandy. Give Mr. Fanny a glass of brandy, a large one. Groning finally stopped Fanny and motioned the waiter to pour a glass of brandy.
Fanny took the glass and almost drank it all. He closed his eyes. The haggard and nervous Fanny slowly exhaled a breath of wine. The face, which was red with excitement, finally had a trace of calm.
"Very good. Now, dear Fanny, I sympathize with you very much, but now, you need to rest. I don't want to lose such an excellent subordinate like you. Take a good shower, sleep, and enjoy a good meal. That's what you should do. I'll do the rest, okay?" Gronin's comfort finally worked.
Fanny nodded. Okay, Mr. Governor, please save the Dutch who are still in the hands of the pirates at this moment.
"I will, Fanny, I promise you that. Well, take Mr. Fanny to the best room to rest. Remember, don't let anyone disturb him without my permission. He's about to collapse. Groning summoned a confidant and whispered.
Seeing Fanny's lonely back leaving the room, the smile on Groning's face gradually faded, replaced by anger and unwillingness. British, you should all go to hell!"
"Governor, this is definitely unfortunate news. I'm sure that this is definitely a British conspiracy. Yes, only the British will be so shameless. They can use any means to deal with our Netherlands, even if they betray God for wealth and colonies." Van Persie, a senior employee of the Dutch East India Company and a senior employee of the Governor's East India Company, was over 60 years old. After listening to Gronin's words, he touched his beautiful silver-white beard and thought for about it for about five minutes, and came to his conclusion.
"It is precisely because of this that I feel helpless. I even feel that the incident in Sugadan was a British conspiracy against our Netherlands. Otherwise, how can they grasp our movements so accurately? When all our troops were sent to West Borneo, they suddenly appeared in Sulawesi. Why do those natives dare to reach out to our Dutch? If there is no powerful country behind them to lure them, these greedy and courageous How dare the indigenous people who are timid like a group of earthworms in the tropical jungle dare to slaughter our Dutch people? Are they not afraid of our revenge? Gronin clenched his fist and smashed it hard on the table.
"Dear Governor, we'd better deal with it now. We must respond to the humiliation and brutality of the British with strong means. Otherwise, it is not only other countries that think that our Netherlands has fallen to the point of weakness, and even the efforts and achievements of our Netherlands in the East over hundreds of years will become the booty of the British. Another senior employee of the East India Company, the fat face of Sneid, the governor of Jakarta, was full of worry and nervousness.
"You're right, Your Excellency the Governor, I suggest that we immediately withdraw the army and fleet that attacked the Kingdom of Borneo, let them rush to Bela-Kasek, and teach those British a lesson fiercely, as well as those damn pirates hired by the British, and of course, those who killed. The murderers of our Dutch civilians must make them pay the price of blood to make the indigenous people on other islands understand that the disputes between our European countries are not that they can profit from them. Old Van Persie gently poked the table with his fingertips, revealing a sense of coldness in his chestnut eyes.
--------------------
"I agree with Mr. Van Persie's suggestion." Another senior executive of the East India Company who attended the meeting also made his own statement. The sooner the better. Otherwise, if the news comes out, it will be very unfavorable to our Dutch rule in this area. You know, there are still many indigenous sultans who are still dissatisfied with us. Don't let this matter become a fuse.
"Well, well, as the governor of the Dutch colony, I gave the order..." Groning cleared his throat and made the final decision.
"The Dutch are conscripting and training soldiers in Jakarta. So far, about 3,000 soldiers have been recruited to step up their training and begin to summon those armed merchant ships. According to the Dutch lieutenant Koku, he just said that there would be a war, but he did not know what their goal was. However, it must have something to do with the commissioner who returned to Jakarta a few days ago in Suweesi, that is to say, the young master's plan has succeeded. The executives of the East India Company crushed this matter to death and didn't want people to know what happened in Sulawesi. Arozo was talking to Zheng Tianfang in a low voice in the backyard of a cloth shop on Caopu Street with a fluent Chinese.
"Of course, the young master will definitely succeed, which I firmly believed from the beginning." Zheng Tianfang clenched his fists, tried his best to suppress his excitement and calm himself down.
"Well, I admit that the young master is a great genius, and of course he can succeed. But the key now is, does our plan still need to be implemented? Arrozo laughed twice.
"Of course it will be implemented. In addition, I have to tell you a good news that I just received yesterday..." Zheng Tianfang whispered in Arrozzo's ear. Arrozzo's eyes suddenly stared round, and his incredible expression remained on his face for two minutes before it faded.
"My God, do you mean total annihibition? It's incredible. You know, although the combat effectiveness of the Dutch is not as good as that of our Spanish soldiers, we can't look down on it... Well, I admit that our Spanish army really can't be compared with the young master's men, but the other side is full of 7,000 people, and the two powerful battleships of their fleet. Tut-t-t-tt, I'm more and more confident in the young master now.
