Chapter 274 To take over the general system?!
"Say it directly, Mr. Special Agent, you asked me to come here, didn't you want me to listen to you? You know, my soldiers are impatient. If I wait any longer, I suspect that my subordinates can take the whole of Borneo without the help of the company. Colonel Michelle straightened the tassels on his epaulettes with an arrogant and reserved face.
"Of course, Mr. Colonel, because of the arrogance and stupidity of the Lanfang Chinese, he has angered the Governor and the senior management of our company. You know, these damn Lanfang Chinese actually made this ultimatum public. Now, not to mention Spain, France, and our biggest opponent, the British. We already know this damn thing. At this time, the expression of the commissioner Ovimas became a little difficult, and he didn't even have the interest in drinking black tea.
He stood up and waved his arms to strengthen his expression ability: "If our Dutch East India Company does not respond properly and resolutely, then the situation that awaits us is not only embarrassing. The British have been spying on our colonies for a long time, and Sumatra has become me. The battlefield of competition between the two sides.
As long as we show a little weakness, in addition to our colonial opponents, it will also have a very bad impact on our colonies, and even directly or even affect our rule of the colonies. You know, in our colonies, there are still many forces that dare to resist us. And those damn earth kings, which one doesn't want to see our jokes?
"Yes, those damn guys, I think the company's means are too weak. They should be tougher, just like we treated the Chinese in Jakarta at the beginning." Colonel Michels patted his thigh angrily with an angry face.
"This can't be done, dear colonel, those lazy, unmotivated, but extremely greedy natives are simply worms in this land. It shouldn't exist, but those natives are not as rich as the Chinese. Our soldiers and our fleet need to spend a lot of money. You know, the company is in danger now, and our debt is really a headache. Hearing the colonel's radical speech, although Oviemas agreed from the bottom of his heart, he had to explain it from the actual situation.
"So, we need to let those arrogant Lanfang Chinese understand who is the master of this land. Moreover, if we can occupy the territory of Lanfang Chinese people, the gold mines and various products there, as well as the savings of those Chinese people, even if we can't let the company solve all the debts, it can greatly alleviate our difficulties. Oviemas stared at Colonel Michelle and said solemnly.
--------------------
"Leave this task to my brave soldiers." Colonel Michels stood up, tidied up his clothes, and straightened his chest.
"Of course, it's for this matter that I let you come here today." Oviemas nodded to Colonel Michelle, took out a text from the drawer of his desk, and solemnly handed it over to Colonel Michelle.
"This is the warrant that I just received from the Governor that I asked me to forward to you. I hope Mr. Colonel can recruit another 5,000 soldiers within a week."
"Five thousand people?" Colonel Michels couldn't help but be stunned. After carefully reading the order, Colonel Michels' expression looked a little embarrassed. Mr. Correspondent, 5,000 people, you know, the total number of Dutch people in Batakan is only 15,000. It is the limit to recruit 3,000 people without women, children and the elderly.
"Dear Colonel, I know this, because what we need is to occupy the whole territory of Lanfang, not just teach them a lesson. In addition, we received the news that Lan Fang's Chinese conscripted a group of thousands of mercenaries, which are said to be pirates from the Qing Dynasty. And the combat effectiveness of those indigenous soldiers is really unsurable. Therefore, the Governor authorized you to recruit civilians from other countries. As far as I know, there are nearly 10,000 other European immigrants in Batakan, and many of them are adults who are eager to come to the East to search for gold. It should not be difficult to recruit 2,000 people from among them, right? Oviemas looked at Colonel Michelle in front of him with an expectant face.
"However, if you want to hire these people, this is a lot of money." Michelle spread out her hands. Although I also want to command a strong army, I can't do it at all with the financial resources of Batakan and the company branch alone. Unless..." Michels looked at the commissioner meaningfully.
Ovimas spread out his hands with a bright smile on his face: "As you wish, the Governor has ordered the fleet to bring 500,000 Dutch guilders, 2,000 guns and fifty infantry guns. Colonel, what else do you have to hesitate about?
"Of course, there is no problem. With 5,000 people, plus my 2,000 elite soldiers, we can level any island here." Colonel Michels smiled with excitement and expectation.
"Of course, you are right, dear colonel. Do you need a drink at this time? In order to predict our victory. Correspondent Ovimas also showed a smug smile.
"Of course, it's a great honor. The victory must be ours, Mr. Special Agent, in the name of God!" Colonel Michels replied with incomparable affirmation.
"The Dutch fleet left Jakarta half a month ago and went to the port of Batakan in southern Borneo. After loading a large number of Dutch soldiers there, they will travel west along the coast and arrive at the Kendavan coast in about five days. Now, most of the residents of the Kendavan coast have been evacuated from the area. Retreat to the mountains. After arriving at the Kendavanan, they will not get anything. In addition, our Liang family's special battalion has been on standby in the valley 60 miles east of the Kendavanan Bank. They can arrive under the Kendavanan City to launch a fierce attack at any time in one day. There are also five battalions in the southeast of the Kendavanan Kendavanan Bank. A small town ten miles away was stationed, and it only took two days to get to the Kendawang Bank. As long as the Special Battalion can hold the Dutch, our fleet can be plugged in in time. At that time, they will only have a dead end." Ni Ming's finger pointed to the floor plan of Kendavang Bank City.
"But all this depends on whether the Dutch will regard this as their frontier base for attacking Lanfang." Bai Shusheng added next to him.
Liang Pengfei, who looked tired but still energetic, nodded: "Yes, it depends on whether these Dutchmen will enter our pockets."
Since arriving in Dongwanjin, in order to ensure that this action can get a perfect ending, Liang Pengfei did not dare to take it lightly at all. He arranged the arrangement in the dark and night, and processed all kinds of information in time. He did not leave the residence and headquarters arranged by Luo Fangbo for Liang Pengfei at all.
Even the baby son can only go back to the back house to see a few times at night, so he hurriedly went to bed to deal with the next day's affairs.
This makes Liang Pengfei feel more and more that he lacks his staff, and he can only do everything by himself. In the future, I must set up a staff college. Otherwise, won't I have to cry and die 20 years earlier? Liang Pengfei yawned and thought about it.
--------------------
At this time, Jiang Wubo interrupted beside him and said, "Definitely, first, it was a port built by the Dutch in the early days, and they are very familiar with the sea conditions and territory of this area. Second, the port here is the closest and largest port to us, enough for the whole fleet of the Dutch to be stationed. I believe them. It will not be full of soldiers and launch an attack on the city of Sugadanna. Unless they are so arrogant that they think that our Lanfang doesn't have any defensive ability.
"Your Excellency, Mr. Luo has arrived with a shareholder of Lanfang Company. He is waiting in the front hall and said that he has something important to do with you." A soldier entered the council hall and whispered to Liang Pengfei.
"I see. I'll go there first. Gentlemen, see if there are any omissions, and then add them together and try to make the plan more perfect." Liang Pengfei had to drop the pencil in his hand. After telling everyone, he wanted to go to the hall in the front yard. At this time, Jiang Wu also raised his leg: "I'll go with you. They come together. They must be something important."
"Oh?" Liang Pengfei looked at Uncle Jiang Wu strangely, but the guy hung his head and prevented Liang Pengfei from observing the change in his eyes. Liang Pengfei rolled his eyes and said, "If you want to follow, just follow. Don't let Mr. Luo wait for them to be in a hurry."
When Sun Shijie and others heard the word "big event", they couldn't help but be curious. They simply went to the front hall with Ni Ming and others to see what a big deal it was.
As soon as he entered the hall, Liang Pengfei felt something was wrong. Luo Fangbo and other shareholders of Lanfang Company dressed him a little today. Everyone wore their most formal dresses, just like welcoming their army on the dock that day, and their expressions and eyes were very serious, very... Anyway, it made Liang Pengfei feel a little uncomfortable.
Liang Pengfei pulled the corners of his mouth and was about to open his mouth, but Luo Fangbo had led more than 30 shareholders of Lanfang Company to bow to Liang Pengfei: "After careful discussion, the shareholders of our Lanfang Company thought that Lord Liang was young and heroic, brave, and could not compare with us. Therefore, I and All shareholders came together and asked Lord Liang to take over the position of the general system, so as to settle the hearts of us and the people of Lanfang.
As soon as he said this, Liang Pengfei's face, which had just been filled with a smile, couldn't help but stiffen, and then turned into a stunned face. What are you doing?
