Chapter 155 Prime Minister, our interests are common (fourth update, please subscribe)
What is the most painful thing in the world?
The thing you try your best to protect may be betrayed overnight, and you don't even have the power to stop it.
At this time, Fatty Qiu felt almost heartbroken, even if he could engage in various intrigues with Roosevelt and Father Steel for the benefit of the British Empire, thereby protecting the interests of the British Empire. interests, but he has no way to prevent those in the Labor Party from destroying the foundation of the great empire for their own selfish interests.
The strongest fortresses are often defeated from within, and the British Empire may be that fortress that is about to be destroyed.
How many people can experience such pain?
Seeing that Fatty Qiu did not speak, Li Yian emphasized again.
“So, rather than leaving the fate to London and the Labor Party, I prefer to control the fate of North Borneo myself. The future there will be the same as the past, and there will be no changes, including with the United Kingdom. "
Anyway, let's try to fool around. When North Borneo is really obtained, won't it still be up to us?
The so-called treaty... is nothing more than a historical document that should have been thrown into the trash a long time ago.
"How do you conclude that the Labor Party will win?"
Looking directly at the young man in front of him, Churchill asked.
"Mr. Prime Minister, why did you invite Attlee and the others to form the cabinet?"
Looking at the Prime Minister who claimed to have saved the British Empire but actually buried it with his own hands, Li Yi'an was very surprised. Knowing what will happen next year, after the European war is won, Attlee and his Labor will quit the coalition cabinet, and soon they will win the election, defeating Churchill, and Attlee's Labor cabinet... is simply stupid After leaving Xiang, not only India was abandoned, but Burma, the Straits Settlements including Malaya and Singapore were also abandoned. It even promised to abandon other colonies.
Why give up?
In one sentence, "for the welfare of the British," in order to reduce military expenditures, Attlee's cabinet decommissioned hundreds of thousands of warships, claiming that it destroyed more warships overnight than the Germans sank in the two wars. Overnight, the mighty British Empire Navy turned into a third-rate navy.
In order to reduce colonial expenses, the reason for abandoning the colony is... If they don’t welcome us, let’s go home! The money saved can just be used for welfare.
Okay!
The behavior of Attlee and others is definitely a traitor to the British. It was they who started the white left path in the West - to please voters, regardless of the cost, even if it means sacrificing national security and national interests!
Who are those guys?
How could Fatty Qiu not know? However, he also knew that the war cabinet would fall when the war ended.
Churchill came back to his senses, stared at Li Yian and said sarcastically.
"So you want to protect the colonies of the British Empire?"
"Mr. Prime Minister, that is your responsibility. I just want to protect my property. No matter who it is, it will always be Don't even think about selling my property."
While responding to Fatty Qiu, Li Yian added.
"I think at this point, our interests are common!"
It is indeed common!
Fat Qiu was silent for a while, then he stood up, silently walked to the window, and stared at the sea view outside the window. If it were in the past, he really couldn't accept that a Chinese bought the British colony.
However, if he keeps his promise, it will still be a British colony, at least to some extent. However, if it were left to Attlee and the others, no one knew what would happen. But the North Borneo Company will always be the North Borneo Company.
In fact, Churchill had his own motives for interfering with the North Borneo Company. He knew very well that legally speaking, North Borneo was not a British colony, but he needed the North Borneo Company to recognize the previous treaty.
After all, that cripple Roosevelt has been trying to dismantle British colonies around the world, and the existence of the North Borneo Company is a BUG. If that cripple wants the British colonies to be independent, then the North Borneo Company must also want it. Independence, which involves the interests of his agents, what will Roosevelt choose at that time?
While demanding that Britain withdraw from the colony, agree to maintain colonial rule in North Borneo? Or is it agreed that the North Borneo Company will be transformed into a state on the spot, with the company's top executives serving as heads of state?
If this is the case, can the British directly change the colonies into autonomous dominions, and the governor becomes the head of the dominion?
Churchill was very curious, and besides being curious, he also needed to lay a foreshadowing.
"Li, we will win this war soon. Next year, or the year after tomorrow at the latest, maybe then you can go back to North Borneo..."
Paused and looked at the young man in front of him People, Churchill said in an extremely serious tone.
“But before you return to North Borneo, you need to go to the Colonial Department and go through some formalities. After all, yours is a chartered company and you need to communicate a lot with the Colonial Department, especially post-war matters. "
That's it...
Is it worth an appointment with you, Fatty Qiu, in person?"
Since he came forward in person, he must have a plan.
But what does Fatty Qiu want from him?
Until he left Fatty Qiu’s residence, Li Yian still didn’t get the answer. Although he didn’t get the answer, he was basically certain. One thing is clear - Britain has already acquiesced to the facts.
In other words, the biggest obstacle to running the North Borneo Company has completely disappeared.
“It’s time to get ready to go home!”
The home Li Yi'an talks about is not the charming brownstone house in New York, but North Borneo, no, Borneo!
When people's ambitions always expand, Li Yi'an in the past could only think about the North Borneo Company, but what about now? His target is the entire Borneo!
So what if Borneo is now under Japanese control?
In the past, we didn’t have a single soldier in our hands, but now we have 20,000 elite soldiers, no, it should be 40,000!
The second batch of employees recruited by Zhu Yihai from China have just arrived in India. They will soon arrive in North Africa. After training in North Africa, they can be incorporated into the police force.
Even the instructor Li Yi'an helped them find the group of German paratroopers captured in Bastogne. In fact, if possible, he would like to find some officers from the German mountain troops as instructors. After all, both of them are He is the leader among light infantry.
But now we have no choice but to use those German special forces who once rescued Mussolini to deal with it first.
Actually, Li Yian has never been a picky person, and his requirements are not high. He just needs to find some world-class instructors, add weapons such as STG44, and deal with them first.
We are already using scrap metal, so what else can we ask for?
Only 40,000 people...are they enough to take back Borneo?
While thinking about this in his mind, Li Yian naturally thought of another thing, which was how to return to Borneo. It would definitely be impossible to walk there. He must have a boat, and just having a boat is not enough.
“We still need warships, otherwise we would be really worried!”
Without warship escort, do you dare to go to Southeast Asia? At the moment, I am still occupied by my small life. If there is no escort, will we take a boat there and let people blow it up for fun?
