Chapter 733 Ending Violence with Violence
This drama between the two sides has drawn the attention of the whole world to the Far East.
It is not new that people from Windmill Country bully local Chinese and overseas Chinese, but China has countermeasures, which many people did not expect. In the past, those bullied Chinese and overseas Chinese could only swallow their anger, even if someone in their family died.
The situation is different now. Li Shaoyi has ordered the fleet to speed up its march south, and at the same time ordered the personnel in Hong Kong that if any losses occur to Chinese and overseas Chinese again, they will resort to life for life until all 1,025 Windmill Country personnel are killed.
When Li Shaoyi admitted this incident in the newspaper, all countries gave him a name, that is, tyrant.
However, for ordinary people in China and overseas Chinese in the south, everyone is almost cheering in the streets, especially those overseas Chinese in Southeast Asia. Although there are knives on their necks, they can clearly feel that those people are only holding the knives to scare them and do not dare to actually swing the knives down.
The merchants from Windmill Country who are able to do business in Hong Kong also have a certain status in their country. There are also some diplomats and a royal family member. If all these people were killed because of Mandrake's operation, then Mr. Mandrake's political career would probably be over, and his political enemies would not let him go and would send him to the domestic court for various reasons.
At this moment in the Windmill Country, the relatives of the detained Hong Kong businessmen also began to march in front of the Windmill Government and spent money to manipulate public opinion, saying that Mandlake's cruel rule in Southeast Asia was itself an uncivilized behavior.
The civilization boasted by Western countries has always started in their own countries. As for foreign countries, no one has ever paid attention to it. When life in Southeast Asia was exposed to the people in the Windmill Country, these people were dumbfounded. They were deceived by domestic propaganda and always thought that the people in the colonies were just like the propaganda. It was us who brought civilization to them, and these people supported us very much.
Now it seems that this is not the case at all. Mandlake's enemies and the families of the detained businessmen have united together to expose Mandlake's stupid behavior. It was his actions that led to the counterattack of the Chinese army.
"This is simply outrageous. All the faults are put on my head. Am I the only one who made all the regulations in the colony?"
In two days, almost all of Mandrake's ancestors were scolded, as if he was the instigator of this incident.
In fact, after writing down all the things, he was indeed the one who intensified the conflict, but he did not think so in his heart. He believed that everything was caused by Li Shaoyi's resistance, or the resistance of the Chinese people.
All previous governors have done this. Bullying Chinese and overseas Chinese is a very common thing for them. Those people have never encountered any resistance before. Why can't it happen to me?
"Governor, please don't talk about this for now. We must find a way to save the situation. The domestic parliament has already held two meetings, and many people have impeached you. If this problem is not resolved quickly, perhaps..."
Kodelk is the Governor's confidant. Without the Governor's help, he would not have become the mayor of Batavia. He would have been just an ordinary clerk.
He was very clear about his situation. Once the Governor stepped down because of this incident, he might lose his position. The mayor of Batavia was a lucrative position. When the new Governor came, he would definitely arrange his own people. How could he let him stay in office?
"You want me to become a laughing stock in all of Europe?"
Governor Mandrake said viciously that if he really gave in because of this matter, he would definitely become a laughing stock in the whole of Europe, because no one had ever given in to the Chinese in such a matter. He could be said to be the first one in the world. This joke would accompany him for the rest of his life, and no matter what he did in the future, there would always be people pointing fingers at him.
"But Your Excellency, Governor, we are at a disadvantage in this matter. If we continue to be tough, it will not do you any good."
Mayor Kodelk is still rational now, so he can analyze this matter normally, but Governor Mandrake is so angry that he is about to smoke all over. How can he analyze this matter rationally?
"At worst, I'll just kill all the Chinese businessmen. I really don't believe I'll go to court for this. Doesn't he need to?"
After saying these words, the smile on Governor Mandrake's face suddenly froze, as if he really didn't need it.
"Governor, look at those Chinese outside. Do you know what they are saying? Even if they all die this time, if more than a thousand people from Windmill Country pay for their lives, they will be very happy on their way to heaven. After all, no one has paid for their lives before, and every few years, there are Chinese who die from our persecution. So if this is really done, Li Shaoyi will still be a hero in the hearts of those Chinese and overseas Chinese."
There are also some Chinese servants in Kodelke's family. They were the ones who gathered information outside these days and brought back similar words. He didn't believe it at first, but if he analyzed it carefully, he would know that what those Chinese businessmen said was from the bottom of their hearts.
Before Li Shaoyi and his fleet went south, the local colonial government and the indigenous tribes would often persecute these overseas Chinese. Now that Li Shaoyi has gone south, can we blame them for this? Before, our deaths were in vain. Not even a single person from the Windmill Kingdom would pay us back. Now, with over a thousand of us, one of whom is a member of the royal family, our deaths were truly worth it.
"These damn lunatics."
Mandlake now didn't know how to respond and could only curse these Chinese and overseas Chinese with vicious words.
"Governor, I think we should calm down and release some of the Chinese and overseas Chinese who are not causing serious trouble first, to show the other side that we are willing to negotiate. Now their fleet is accelerating southward, we should avoid their attack and be tolerant for the time being. When the fleet returns, won't the world still be ours?
