A few days later, at the port of Singapore, at sunset in the afternoon, a silver-white cruise ship slowly appeared on the sea and slowly sailed towards the port.
On the top plywood of the cruise ship, Lin Tianqi stood at the bow of the ship, holding the railings with both hands and blowing the sea breeze. When he saw the port, he immediately turned towards the cabin passage behind him.
"Here we are."
Bai Ji, Xu Jie, Li Min, Wu Qingqing, and Liu Sheng were playing cards and reading novels in the cabin. When they heard Lin Tianqi's words, they all came out immediately.
“Is this Singapore?”
"It's finally here. I'm almost bored to death on the boat every day these days."
Looking at the port and land in sight, the girls also became happy. In fact, after taking the boat all the way down in the past few days, the girls were indeed a little bored. When they first went to sea, the girls were really excited and looking forward to the sea.
They were curious and novel, but after several days in a row, facing the blue sea and blue sky every day, the passion of these women was naturally extinguished. After all, looking at anything for a long time will make you bored.
However, when they saw the port and land, and knew that they had arrived in Singapore, the girls' enthusiasm and expectations that had been wiped out rose again.
After a while, the cruise ship docked at the port. Fang Ming and Li Lianxin, who had been waiting here with their people and cars for a long time, immediately came over with their people.
"Sir." "President."
Lin Tianqi came down with Bai Ji, Xu Jie, Li Min, Wu Qingqing, and Liu Sheng. He nodded when he heard the words, and then felt the many eyes around the port and said.
"Get in the car and leave here first."
"yes."
Fang Ming and Li Lianxin immediately agreed, and then the group got into the car and drove away from the port.
Half an hour later, the car drove into an independent manor villa in the city. This villa originally belonged to a British nobleman, but now it has been 'transferred' to Lin Tianqi.
After entering the villa, the group settled in. Bai Ji, Xu Jie, Li Min, Wu Qingqing, and Liu Sheng each began to choose their own rooms to get settled. Lin Tianqi sat on the sofa in the living room with Fang Ming and Li Lianxin.
I came down and asked about the situation in Singapore during this period and the preparations for the Wumen Conference.
"How is the situation in Singapore during this period? Are there any problems?"
Lin Tianqi first looked at Li Lianxin and said.
I have to say that after taking over Singapore and becoming a member of Parliament, Li Lianxin's temperament has changed a lot after not seeing each other for a while. She is wearing a female white professional suit, and her whole person has an aura. She is a strong woman with a strong aura, which matches her outstanding appearance.
His figure and appearance also add to his uniform charm.
Feeling Lin Tianqi's gaze, Li Lianxin straightened her body without leaving any trace, especially the career line on her chest, which was even more prominent. Today's outfit was carefully chosen by her because she found that this outfit looks the best.
She hopes to highlight her career line and not only increase her charm, but also to seduce Lin Tianqi.
"The president can rest assured that everything in Singapore has entered a stable state and all work has entered into steady development. The British government has left us a considerable fortune."
Li Lianxin said with a smile, the development of Singapore during this period is indeed smooth. Singapore itself has developed well after nearly a century of development by the British. However, Wumen's victory over Singapore this time was basically a thunderous sweep, without any effort.
Although there were many casualties, it did not cause any harm to the mainland of Singapore. In addition, the last annihilation of the British government's expeditionary force had a sufficient deterrent effect. Naturally, everything went smoothly.
"That's good." Lin Tianqi also smiled and nodded when he heard this, and then asked: "Where are those British and British prisoners of war, have they been dealt with?"
"Some time ago, the British government sent us a message about the issue of prisoners, but it did not agree with our ransom, so the prisoners are still being held here. However, Prime Minister Wu made a proposal to give these British soldiers a chance to redeem themselves.
It has not been implemented yet, and I am planning to discuss it with you, the President." Li Lianxin said.
"Oh, tell me in detail." Lin Tianqi said, feeling a little curious.
"Wu Zongli suggested that if these British prisoners were unwilling to pay for their ransom, and the British government was unwilling to pay for their ransom, they could redeem themselves, and agreed that they would contact their families in the UK. If they or their families could contribute the money, they could also be freed. If
If you don’t have money, you can redeem yourself with other items of corresponding value, such as technology, especially naval warships.”
"Prime Minister Wu proposed to use these British prisoners to teach us the technical knowledge about the navy, especially warships, that is, to use these captured British navy to train our own navy and extract all the useful value of these British captives.
, after the value of these prisoners is squeezed out, you can let them go even if there is no ransom."
"In addition, General Wu also proposed that these British soldiers should be given the freedom to write letters and communicate with their families, so that they could release the news that we gave these British soldiers the opportunity to redeem themselves, which would facilitate discussion about us."
Li Lianxin explained the entire proposal plan in an orderly manner.
I have to say that they are indeed people playing politics. In the current situation where the British government is unwilling to spend a lot of money to redeem people, this is undoubtedly the most beneficial way to deal with it.
Not only did they extract the surplus value of these people, but they could also gain a good reputation for themselves and hack the British government. One can imagine what the mentality of these captives would be like if they were told the news that the British government was unwilling to redeem their people.
At this time, the Singapore government gave them another chance to redeem themselves, and did not abuse them and even gave them the freedom to write letters and contact their families. The results can be imagined.
Lin Tianqi can guarantee that by then, more than half of these prisoners may even be grateful to the Singapore government, but their feelings towards the British government will definitely not be good.
Because they were captured to fight for the national government, but after the defeat, the government was unwilling to spend money to redeem them. This was almost a disguised form of abandoning them. At this time, the Singaporean government gave them a chance.
The comparison is very different, and the result can be imagined. This is the purpose of giving these prisoners the freedom to communicate with their families.
When the time comes, there is no guarantee that these prisoners will vent their dissatisfaction with the British government in their letters, and their families will definitely be dissatisfied with the government when they see it, and even directly start discussions. By then, the British government will definitely be affected by some discussions.
Even if the British government knew about this and dug a hole in Singapore, they would have no choice but to swallow it when the time comes.
On the other hand, in Singapore, there will be no loss at all. Not only will there be no loss, but they will also get the gratitude of a large number of British prisoners, and they will be able to extract more value from these people, especially in the navy.
With the guidance of these former British navy, it will undoubtedly reduce a lot of time for Singapore's own naval construction, especially some technologies that are hard to find.
The British Navy in this era is definitely one of the best in the world.
"Well, this is a good proposal. Then after you leave, you can convey my intention directly to General Wu and everyone. I agree with this proposal. Let Prime Minister Wu implement the specific details."
Lin Tianqi pondered for a moment and then said.
"yes."
Li Lianxin immediately agreed.
"How are you preparing for the conference?"
Lin Tianqi asked again, asking about the preparations for the conference.
"Everyone at the gate has arrived, and the venue and preparations for the conference have been arranged."
Li Lianxin said again.
Lin Tianqi nodded.
"Well, then let everything go as planned. If you have anything else, please contact me. If there is nothing else, just stay here for today."
"Okay, President, let's leave first. If you need anything, just call me at any time."
Li Lianxin said.
Fang Minghe spoke to Lin Tianqi.
Then the two left.
After Fang Ming and Li Lianxin left, Bai Ji, Xu Jie, Li Min, Wu Qingqing and Liu Shengnan also came back one after another after viewing the entire villa.
"How is it? How does it feel?"
Lin Tianqi looked at the women and asked.
“Overall it’s okay, but I don’t like the layout of some rooms. The foreign decoration style still looks a bit awkward.”
Bai Ji said.
Xu Jie, Li Min, Wu Qingqing and Liu Shengnan also nodded in agreement.
Because this manor villa originally belonged to a British nobleman, naturally both the architectural style and the various decorations in the rooms are British style, and the women are all Chinese and have long been accustomed to domestic architecture.
As for the decoration style of the house, it is natural that I am not interested in these strong Western-style decorations.
In fact, Lin Tianqi himself was a little cold, especially in one room, where there was a painting of a naked Western woman. The key was that the woman in the painting was fat and ugly. He didn't know what kind of painting was placed here.
What's the meaning? Is this the art of Westerners? Lin Tianqi said he couldn't appreciate this art.
Therefore, the next moment he saw it, Lin Tianqi immediately tore the painting apart.
"Then let's ask someone to come over tomorrow to do some renovations. I also don't like the style of these foreigners. I should live here for a while. After the meeting the day after tomorrow, we will go to the surrounding islands to look at the location and place it.
Choose it, and then build our own house and create our new home in the future."
Lin Tianqi said with a smile, and the girls nodded and settled in the manor.
The sun has set outside and the sky is getting dark.
The next day, the day before the Wumen Conference, Lin Tianqi summoned Li Musheng, Wu San and other top Wumen officials to hold a small meeting in advance about the details of the main meeting of the Wumen Conference.
On the morning of the third day, in a large auditorium, the Wumen Conference officially began.
