Chapter 361 Please show your sincerity
When Southeast Asians are obedient, they are really obedient and do whatever they are told without any compromise. Up the mountain of knives and under the sea of fire, I bravely took the photo without fail.
George used to think that Southeast Asians were only so obedient when facing the Dutch or the British.
Later, I discovered that Southeast Asians are all like birds. The one with milk is the father. If the Indians are strong, they can even recognize Indians as their fathers.
The defenders of Semporna were indeed impatient. As soon as the battle broke out, their morale collapsed completely.
This can finally explain that when the Americans fought against the Spaniards, they only suffered a few casualties.
The Spanish casualties were relatively high, probably because the Americans failed to control them.
Although Andrew put on makeup, he still could not escape from the city.
Andrew is too fat, weighing more than 100 kilograms. He gets out of breath after walking a few steps. At first glance, he looks like a pampered fat sheep.
Although Andrew took the initiative to reveal his identity, he was still beaten by the Acehnese. When Ilya saw Andrew, Andrew was already bruised and swollen.
"Who are you?"
Andrew still can't determine Elijah's identity.
"Took him to find money. When he couldn't find one hundred thousand pounds, he set him on fire."
Ilya ignored Andrew at all and had nothing to say to a dying man.
Ilya acted so fast that Semporna did not even send a distress telegram. It was not until a British merchant ship arrived in Semporna half a month later that it was known that the entire city had been plundered.
Within this half month, three more cities were attacked by unknown forces.
Gray came to Yuriev Palace again, hoping that George would help maintain order on Kalimantan Island.
“Hope?”
George was not happy.
"Request! It's a request——"
Gray changed his mind and said that it was useless to use coercion and inducement with George.
"Assistance?"
George felt that the British had lost their minds and were completely confused about the situation.
"Duke, what on earth do you want to do?"
Gray felt that even if George was angry, it would be time to let it go.
"Have you agreed on how much money to compensate me?"
George will talk about compensation first, and then talk about other things.
Gray finally knew why Wall, the former British consul in Amur, called George a barbarian.
"Three cities in Sabah were attacked, with economic losses exceeding 1 million pounds and more than 1,000 deaths. Isn't this enough to calm your anger?"
Gray was helpless, He has voluntarily resigned to London and does not want to suffer from this cowardice anymore.
"What does this have to do with me?"
George's reluctance was also learned from the British.
In other words, George was backed by the Russian Empire, and Britain had nothing to do with George.
If it were any other country, Britain would have already declared war on its own initiative, so it would not be so willing to compromise.
"Why don't you talk to Mr. Dent personally——"
Gray just wanted to stay away.
“Hehe, what kind of dog is he? He dares to call me sir in front of me!”
George didn’t give him any face.
“What are your requirements?”
Gray communicated patiently.
"Is this your sincerity?"
George is more fairy than a fairy.
"Sincerity——"
Gray was confused and really didn't know what George's "sincerity" meant.
George serves tea to see the guests off, and you can realize it yourself.
Gray's understanding was not very good and he didn't understand what George meant.
Seymour took the initiative to send sailors to Sabah and Sina respectively.
The military strength of these British overseas colonies is pitifully weak. As a British protectorate, the entire country's military force in Boni is less than 2,000. These 2,000 people have neglected training, have outdated equipment, and have low morale. They can be used to bully the local people, but when it comes to fighting, they are not even as good as the Amur militia.
The combat effectiveness of the British sailors is just that. If we really want to solve the problem, we still have to rely on the army.
But the British Army?
In the First Boer War, the British Army fought two battles with the Transvaal militia.
For the first time, 77 British troops were killed and 157 wounded; only 2 British troops were killed and 4 wounded.
For the second time, 93 British troops were killed, 133 were injured, and 54 were captured. The leading general was also killed; on the Burgundian side, only 1 man was killed and 5 were injured.
This does not mean how capable the Boers are at fighting.
It really all depends on the support of peers.
With this performance of the British army, it is difficult to inspire George's awe.
George is not in a hurry. He can only commit a thief for a thousand days, but there is no way to prevent a thief for a thousand days. Seymour's sailors cannot be stationed in Sabah and Xana for a long time. If this continues for a long time, then why is Mr. Dent the first? Can't stand it.
The North Borneo Company was responsible for the expenses incurred by the British navy while they were stationed in Sabah and Sena.
Alfred Dent was a businessman. Even if he had a British background, would he dissipate his wealth for the British Empire?
Don't be ridiculous, it's impossible.
In fact, Alfred Dent’s nephew Paul Dent was in Vladivostok.
Paul Dent wanted to see George, but unfortunately he was not qualified to see George.
So Paul Dent bribed Gray, in the name of an investor, hoping to get a chance to meet Mikhail.
“Mikhail is the tyrant’s biological uncle, do you think he just wants to see him?”
Gray sneered. If it weren't for the sake of the pound, Dent wouldn't even be able to see Gray.
“Help, for God’s sake—”
Dent begged.
"Now you know you are afraid? Then why did you provoke that tyrant? Go ask Commander Seymour if he is willing to provoke that tyrant?"
Gray put Yuriye on the spot. The husband was so angry that he took it all out on Dent.
It’s not like Seymour didn’t suffer defeat at the hands of George when he was in Malay——
No, Seymour didn’t suffer defeat directly at the hands of George, but at the hands of George’s men.
I don’t know how many levels are missing in the middle.
This is the most terrifying thing.
"The attack on Shibadi Island was Andrew's own initiative, and we didn't know it at all."
Dent hated Andrew so much, well done!
"The Yuriev Palace wants to see your sincerity - how much sincerity can you show?"
Gray doesn't know what the damn "sincerity" means.
“Sincerity——”
Dent was equally confused.
"Money! Pounds! Gold!"
Gray felt sad for the future of the North Borneo Company.
Old Ghent is now extremely ill and has only a few days to live.
Paul Gent is the chosen successor of the old Gent.
“Ten thousand pounds?”
Gent attempts a bid.
“Get the hell out of here!”
Gray yelled, ten thousand pounds to send to a beggar!
Gent has stayed in a small place for too long and has no idea how strong George's economic strength is.
Ten thousand pounds was actually a lot compared to George’s loss.
But the problem is that this matter has developed so far that it cannot be solved by ten thousand pounds.
Based on Gray’s knowledge of Amur, Gray is not sure whether George can buy the entire Russia.
But George could certainly buy the whole of London if he wanted to.
