After handling the urgent military situation, Qi Yu immediately transferred to the second hall of the provincial government office.
Because the clerk from the reception room has been waiting there for a long time.
Coincidentally, what he presented was also a military intelligence message.
To be more precise, it should be called a report on the current situation in Sarawak.
According to the news sent back by Duan Zicheng, the country is now basically attached to Qiongzhou Province, and the formal handover documents will be sent soon.
He believes that the reason why this matter was handled so smoothly is mainly related to three factors.
First, thanks to Leng Qing's behind-the-scenes operation, he has successively eliminated all dissident politicians. Looking around the entire government and opposition parties, there is basically no one who dares to say "no".
Secondly, it benefited from Qiongzhou’s food aid. It can be said that this move directly gained a lot of public support and minimized hatred. Although it is said that these grains are extorted from Java, the Sarawakians don't care at all. No matter where it comes from, as long as it can fill the stomach, it is first-class good food.
There is also the statement issued by the Franco Kingdom before. It clearly stated that Sarawak would never be protected again. As a result, those politicians who harbored illusions simply gave up.
Under the superposition of these three factors, how can Sarawak not bow its head?
Leng Qing took this opportunity to push the boat forward and succeeded decisively.
For now, the situation is basically settled.
As for how to integrate resources in the future and how to plan and manage, Duan Zicheng is still weighing it and has not yet made a final decision.
However, this time should not drag on too long.
In addition to the above, Duan Zicheng also mentioned that he wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to go south to 'plan' for the neighboring country of Java.
Uh...what's the motivation?
In other words, what is he planning?
Duan Zicheng explained that in the recent 'Potato War', the Qiongzhou Army frightened the whole country with its absolute power. It took almost no effort to fire a few shots before the opponent gave up their symbolic resistance.
After that, he obediently handed over the potatoes for compensation.
Is this battle won?
Yes!
But, that's not the point.
The point is that the amount of compensation paid by the other party was much higher than the original estimate.
Valuation.
At that time, we made an offer and said that we would only take half of the harvest for consumption, while the other half would be reserved for Java as planting food. This move is mainly intended to demonstrate the Chinese virtue of killing people without giving up.
But who would have thought that the amount of this half would actually reach a million pounds!
My dear!
This really made Duanzi Cheng extremely happy.
However, after calming down, he made an objective analysis: Tell me, why are there so many accumulations of potatoes in Java?
In other words, why is it so productive!
Simply put, there are two reasons.
First, the place has summer-like weather all year round and a humid climate, which is very conducive to growing crops with short growth cycles. Not only can we obtain high yields in harvest, but we can also cultivate more crops throughout the season.
Second, Java is an island country with a very large population, and the most indispensable thing is the labor force working barefoot. As the saying goes, there is strength in numbers, so their harvest has such support.
These two points are what really attract Duan Zicheng.
Especially the population is even more coveted. Not to mention anything else, the recruitment alone is enough to support a large reserve team.
"The fact that there are so many people...is really tempting!"
"Well, I think that in the land of aliens, there are no good entertainment projects on weekdays. The only fun seems to be to enjoy the process of creating humans. It is estimated that this is why their population is like this of prosperity.”
However, Qi Yu did not attach too much importance to the high grain yield in this area.
Today's Qiongzhou does not lack fertile land. There is not much of it, and there is not much without it.
Of course, there’s nothing wrong with icing on the cake.
No one would dislike having a lot of food at home~~
From an overall perspective, if Java can be captured, the entire Southeast Asia will basically be unified. Except for Sumatra in the far west, there is no need to worry about intrusion from any enemy countries.
This plays a vital role in promoting the stability of the government.
After weighing the situation, Qi Yu made it clear that he strongly agreed with Duan Zicheng's idea of a second 'Potato War'.
Moreover, he also gave relevant important instructions: Fighting, yes! However, never kill innocent people indiscriminately!
In Qi Yu's impression, Duan Zicheng was a man who did nothing to achieve his goals.
A person who chooses means, if he doesn't give him special instructions, there is no guarantee that he will do something like massacre.
In addition, he also said that if the matter is successful or not, it will be affected. Don't lose too many troops and generals. Otherwise, reputation will be damaged.
It is absolutely not worth it to destroy a beautiful jade for the sake of a stubborn stone.
Qi Yu firmly believed that with Duan Zicheng's experience and ability, he would be able to understand his true intentions and handle them properly.
…
The next day.
It was a beautiful sunny day, with a cool north wind.
Just after breakfast, Qi Yu rode his horse to the bicycle factory in the city.
Accompanying him was a young man dressed as a guard. Upon closer inspection, it was Fan Yao.
It was indeed him.
After Qi Qingyun's Western Expedition, he specially kept this person behind for the purpose of protecting the Qi family compound.
The Qi family is the anchor of the entire Southeast Asia. When it comes to safety, nothing can go wrong.
Faced with such an initiative, Qi Yu agreed without even thinking about it.
At the moment, Xiaotong is not at home and really needs someone with excellent martial arts skills to look after the home and the home. What's wrong with this?
Your family is your life, so you must pay special attention to it.
Fan Yao was honored to accept this task.
Being able to serve Master Qi is a supreme personal honor. This thing is enough to make you stink for the rest of your life.
Qi Qingyun thought so too.
Unexpectedly.
Speaking of Qi Yu, after arriving at the bicycle factory, he immediately called the person in charge of the factory.
"I asked, how are the military bicycles I arranged so far being manufactured?"
"Come back, sir, we are working overtime and day and night. At present, we have finally produced more than a thousand vehicles."
"Then...how is the quality?"
“It is exactly the same as the sample when confirmed!”
oh?
Very good!
Qi Yu nodded with satisfaction and said: "Leave these to me first, I need them urgently now!"
As for where it was urgently needed, he didn't say it clearly.
However, Fan Yao guessed the outline: Well, it must be to support the Western Expedition.
