Chapter 93 Let’s buy a country (Third update, please collect it)

Ambition can expand and often changes according to changes in the environment.

While the U.S. political and military circles are struggling to cope with the aid-to-China scandal, Li Yi'an has set his sights on another piece of land.

"Brooke Kingdom."

"What?"

Facing Zhang Weilun's confusion, Li Yian took out a map. This was the map of Borneo he brought back from the UK.

Open the map and look at this world's third largest island located in the center of Southeast Asia with an area of ​​more than 700,000 square kilometers. With an area of ​​743,000 square kilometers, if it were a country, it would rank in terms of land area alone. , can definitely advance into the top forty.

Pointing to the northeast corner of the map, Li Yian said.

"Wei Lun, look, this is the territory of the North Borneo Company, covering an area of ​​74,000 square kilometers. Its nickname is "The Land Under the Wind". Although it is located near the equator, it has never been affected by tropical storms. But, you know, I have already bought this company.”

While speaking, Li Yian even wanted to put his hands on his hips and show off proudly, he is a big landowner of 74,000 square kilometers!

He is definitely the largest landowner in the world, but it's a pity that it's just a thought. As a big shot, you have to be calm.

Zhang Weilun glanced at the map lightly and said.

"Then what? Below it is the Kingdom of Sarawak."

In his opinion, the North Borneo Company is just a wishful thinking. The British may hand over tens of thousands of square kilometers of land. To a foreigner?

“Yes, this is the Kingdom of Sarawak!”

Li Yi'an nodded,

"The founder of the Kingdom of Sarawak was the British James Brooke. His creation of this country is legendary. In 1835, he purchased it with the thirty thousand pounds inheritance left by his father when he passed away. A merchant ship "Royal" then went to explore Asia. In 1838, he sailed to Borneo and arrived in Kuching in August of the same year. The local Chinese miners and aborigines joined forces to launch a riot, so he met with the Sultan of Brunei and offered help. The Sultan suppressed a riot. He relied on the cannons on the ship and the muskets of the sailors to suppress the riot. Later, he was granted the title of "Razhe" in Sarawak by the Sultan of Brunei. After a few years, after gaining a firm foothold, he presented himself to the Sultan. The showdown was about becoming an independent country. The Sudan sent troops to suppress it, but he was defeated and ceded a large area of ​​land. Not only that, he continued to expand his territory in the future. In the end, the vast majority of Brunei All the land is occupied by him.”

Listening to Li Yian’s explanation, Zhang Weilun seemed to understand where his “territory” plot came from. There is a precedent.

"This Mr. James Brooke is indeed a legend! As an outsider, he actually turned his back on the guests, occupied such a large area of ​​land, and became the local king. It is really unimaginable. However, boss, then It was more than a hundred years ago, and he was still British..."

"What happened to the British?"

Li Yian waved his hand and said.

"Britain has entered decline. In the past, Britain could protect it, but it will definitely not be able to do so now and in the future. After the war, Britain will definitely do everything possible to let them hand over the country to British management."
< br>Historically, it is not clear how the British took Li Nian of Sarawak, but since it has become a state of Malaysia, it means that the country has actually been destroyed.

In Li Yian's view, this is an opportunity.

“When the British ask them to hand over the country, I feel that I can completely buy this country with money!”

"What? Buy a country?"

Looking at Zhang Weilun's astonishment, the corners of Li Yian's mouth rose, definitely more than seventy degrees.

"Yes, that's right, if you want to buy a country, 1 million pounds will definitely not work. Then 2 million pounds will do, 3 million pounds will do..."

Spend 3 million pounds, Buying 124,450 square kilometers of land is definitely the most cost-effective deal. It only costs more than 20 pounds per square kilometer, and there is a lot of oil in the area. If nothing else, if you extract oil for a year, the cost will almost be recovered.

"Well, I think the British official may also have paid for Sarawak. No matter how much the British offer, I have one million pounds more than them, and that's enough. People are always greedy! "

Looking at Li Yian who was planning to buy a country, Zhang Weilun was speechless for a while and said directly.

“Boss, do you know what you are talking about?”

“I know, it’s just buying a country!”

That’s it!

Zhang Weilun couldn't help but look at the boss, does he know what he is doing?

"Boss, I'm not throwing cold water on you, but you have to understand that it is a country."

"I know, it is a country."

"You I want to buy a country.”

“Yes, it’s a betrayal. Anyone who sells it will get it.”

Yes, seeing the boss like this, Zhang Weilun said directly.

“Boss, even though you say that, it is a country. How could the British hand over their protectorate to you, even if it is the North Borneo Company? Even if legally speaking, boss, you bought this country. A company is legal, but believe it or not, the British can take 10 or even 20 years to litigate you. By the time the lawsuit is over, the place may have turned from a company to a colony. , Well, it’s just a compensation payment for you.”

Li Yian agrees with Zhang Weilun’s judgment. This is normal. If nothing else happens, this is likely to be the last one. ending.

"Yes, that's right, you are right. If it were in the past, this possibility is almost doomed!"

Li Yian nodded, took his eyes back from the map, and looked at Zhang Weilun said.

"But, it is different now. In the past, I was only 70% sure, but now I am 100% sure that Britain will make concessions. It should be said that I am 100% sure that I can eat this piece of fat! As long as I can eat North Borneo, I can eat Sarawak and even the entire Borneo..."

At this moment, Li Yi'an's eyes became determined, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly, breaking out into a smile.

"How is it possible? Boss?"

When Zhang Weilun looked at the boss in surprise, the sudden ringing of the phone broke his words. After taking the phone, the voice on the other end of the phone The smile on Li Yian's face became even thicker at the sound.

Finally, the long-awaited phone call came!

Although he was excited, Li Yian seemed very calm, because... everything went as planned, from obtaining the batch of arms in Italy until now!

For almost half a year, I have worked hard for so long and pushed forward step by step just for this phone call today!

Listening to the voice on the other end of the phone, after calming down a little, Li Yian said into the phone.

“Okay, I understand, I will take a flight to Washington this afternoon.”
