The violent incident that occurred in front of the Malay City Hall immediately ignited the entire British Malaya.
Prior to this, violent incidents had occurred frequently in the Sultanate of Brunei, but they had never had such serious consequences.
Just when the explosion occurred, the British mayor of Malay was about to go out on business. He was affected by the bomb and died after being sent to the hospital.
Also killed were three British people including the mayor's secretary, six security personnel of the Malayan government, and the attacker himself.
The British were indeed unscrupulous in British Malaya. After suffering this heavy blow, O. Henry not only did not restrain himself, but intensified his efforts to arrest 100 Bruneians from the Malay City area and shot all 100 people as a sign of justice.
revenge.
As soon as the news came out, the whole world was in an uproar.
Coconut City Palace.
Several reporters stopped British Prime Minister Lloyd George as he was about to enter the palace.
Mr. George, can you comment on Governor O. Henry's revenge in Malay?
Mr. Prime Minister, Britain has always prided itself on being the representative of the civilized world. Can you explain why this kind of incident happened?
Mr. Prime Minister, I heard that the British Parliament will re-evaluate the value of British Malaya. Is this news true?
Journalists held notebooks and asked questions one after another. Photographers were busy looking for the best location to take pictures. There was chaos in front of the palace.
Please give way, please give way, Mr. Prime Minister will not answer any questions now. Lloyd George's entourage separated the reporters and firmly refused to allow reporters to get close to Lloyd George.
Lloyd George himself had a livid face and pursed his lips tightly. He walked straight to the palace without saying a word, without even looking at the reporters.
Mr. Prime Minister, please wait a moment.
Say something, Mr. Prime Minister
The reporters were relentless.
The guards at the palace gate had to intervene, and Lloyd George was able to escape.
However, Lloyd George was able to escape, largely due to the arrival of Huang Bohan.
Of course, reporters recognized Huang Bohan's car, so when Huang Bohan's car appeared, reporters gave up the silent Lloyd George and instead flocked to Prime Minister Lan Fang who liked to deal with the media.
Prime Minister, could you please comment on Governor O. Henry's behavior? I have dealt with him many times, and I know that the Prime Minister in front of me will meet everyone's requirements, so the questions became very orderly. When the reporter of the Daily News asked the first
After a question, others are immediately ready to record it.
Governor O. Henry, I think he has reached the end of his life as a governor. O. Henry’s behavior certainly does not represent the King of England or the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. It is even a very irresponsible behavior for him personally. No, there is no need.
It is no longer enough to describe it as responsible. This is even a barbaric act. It is hard to imagine that such a thing could happen in a civilized society. Huang Bohan was indeed very cooperative and spoke eloquently for half an hour about colonial affairs, humanism, social order, and the country's image.
Waiting for all aspects, the level of detail reached the point where no one asked questions again after Huang Bohan finished speaking.
There really is nothing to ask. Huang Bohan has already said everything he can, and basically there is nothing missing.
Seeing that no one asked questions, Huang Bohan Shiran entered the palace.
When Huang Bohan entered the palace, the atmosphere in the palace was actually a bit depressing.
Because the day when Qin Zhiyuan ascended the throne was approaching, the palace was decorated with lights and colors, creating a joyful and peaceful atmosphere.
But at this time, because of the arrival of Lloyd George, the guards in the palace looked a little solemn, which made the atmosphere seem a little depressed.
Of course, Lloyd George's political wisdom was much better than that of O. Henry, so when he met Qin Zhiyuan, Lloyd George could still maintain basic etiquette: During the World War, the Foreign Legion and the Commonwealth Legion established a solid friendship.
It was because of our joint efforts that we won the World War. I think this friendship should continue and should not be affected by trivial matters. Lanfang is now a regional power, and Britain is still that
The sun never sets. I think Lanfang and Britain have extensive common interests, so Lanfang and Britain should support each other rather than be hostile to each other.
Lloyd George's words were euphemistic, recalling the past but also containing threats.
Qin Zhiyuan could hear what Lloyd George meant, and he thought for a moment before speaking: Of course, Lanfang and the United Kingdom have extensive common interests. I completely agree with this, so Lanfang has no idea about British Malaya.
, please rest assured, Mr. Prime Minister, about this.
Lloyd George kept smiling when Qin Zhiyuan spoke. Of course, only Lloyd George himself knew what he was thinking.
The Lanfang army has now withdrawn from Sarawak, leaving not a single soldier in Sarawak, and has never supported the so-called Sarawak Autonomous Alliance. This must be stated first. And we can promise that if the Prime Minister
If sir needs it, Lan Fang can send troops to assist the Malay government in countering the rebellion. You know, we are essentially mercenaries. Qin Zhiyuan doesn't mind being known as a war hyena. This is actually how many people define Lan Fang's army.
.
Oh, no need, I think the British Empire is capable of handling this matter. Lloyd George directly rejected Qin Zhiyuan's kindness.
Are you kidding? Let Lan Fang's army follow the Malay government's army to suppress the rebellion. It's not such a good idea to lure the wolf into the house.
Qin, the former foreign legion was lonely and helpless. I can understand Lan Fang's desire for territory, but all ambitions must have a limit and cannot expand without limit. Southeast Asia should also be a quiet Southeast Asia and should not be destroyed by disputes.
There is a peaceful life here, so our British Empire does not want to escalate the situation. Lloyd George still gave a veiled warning.
In fact, if you carefully calculate it, Lanfang has actually gained a lot of benefits from the United Kingdom. In Lanfang's territory, whether it is Diego Garcia in the Moon Bay in the Indian Ocean, Christmas Island in Lanfang's mainland, half of Papua Island and its affiliated
The Solomon Islands were purchased by Lanfang from Commonwealth countries.
Moreover, in these places, the price Lanfang paid was not huge, and could even be called low. Calculating this, Lanfang had actually taken advantage of it.
If Lan Fong still has the intention of annexing the Sarawak region, then Britain may not really take some measures to restrict Lan Fong.
Of course, Britain is not ready to go to war with Lan Fang directly for Sarawak. The world war has also caused extremely serious damage to the British economy. The British have no extra energy to start another war now.
If you want to compare the current Lanfang and Britain, they are like a poor man with a poor family and a rich man with a well-off family. Of course, the poor man has nothing to lose when facing the rich man, because he has never owned anything, while the rich man has nothing to lose.
When it comes to poor people, their hands are tied, because rich people have too many things and too many worries.
What's more, this poor man is still the most vicious and evil kind, and he has a helper whose net worth is not much poorer than that of the rich man. The British really don't want to start a war with Lan Fang now.
Of course, just because they don't want to, it doesn't mean they don't dare. If Lan Fang really forces the British to a dead end, there is no doubt that the British will take the risk.
Mr. George, I actually have a suggestion. If the British government feels that the current situation in Sarawak is really difficult, then it can sell Sarawak to Lan Fang. Lan Fang does not mind taking over where to deal with the mess. Get rid of the reporter
Huang Bohan finally arrived in time.
As soon as Huang Bohan finished speaking, Lloyd George's expression immediately turned gloomy.
Ha, Qin Zhiyuan just said five minutes ago that Lan Fang has no ambitions for Sarawak, and now Huang Bohan says so again. This is simply contradictory.
Of course, if the British government insists, we will not intervene, but we will seal the border to prevent anarchy in Sarawak from spreading to Lanfang and affecting the stability of Lanfang. Please understand, Mr. Prime Minister. Huang Bohan continues to talk.
Now Lloyd George completely understood what a dirty joke it was.
But if you think about it carefully, although Huang Bohan's words are harsh, it is the truth. If anarchy continues to spread in Sarawak, it will definitely affect Lanfang. If the British are replaced by Lanfang, I am afraid the British will also
Can read jokes.
You will always encounter ghosts if you walk too much at night, so don’t be too complacent. Lloyd George didn’t have much confidence.
To be honest, if Lloyd George was not the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, then Lloyd George would really not be able to stand upright in front of Qin Zhiyuan and Huang Bohan. Qin Zhiyuan is the king, with hundreds of thousands of troops in his hands, needless to say, even if Huang Bohan is not the Prime Minister, then
He is also one of the richest people in the world.
And if Lloyd George is not the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, then Lloyd George is nothing.
Lloyd George was not confident because he had not grasped Lan Fang's handle.
Although he knew that Lan Fang must be involved in the Sarawak Self-Government Alliance, without evidence, even if Lloyd George wanted to have an attack, there was no way to talk about it. He could not directly put this big label on Lan Fang.
George is not as reckless as O. Henry.
It's not impossible to sell it to you. What conditions have you prepared? Lloyd George suddenly said this.
Even if it is sold, it is not a matter that Lloyd George has the final say on.
British Malaya is different from Diego Garcia, British Papua and the Solomon Islands. British Malaya is under the direct jurisdiction of the British government, while Diego Garcia is entrusted by the British government to the Mauritius government. British Papua and Solomon Islands
The islands are managed by the Australian government, and even Christmas Island is managed by the Lion City government. If the UK wants to sell British Malaya, it must be approved by the British Parliament.
