In 1841, James became the Governor of Sarawak. At the same time, he also saw clearly the weakness of the Bangni Kingdom. At this time, Sarawak was still very small, less than 10,000 square kilometers, smaller than the Lanfang Republic in the south.

In 1842, after re-enacting local laws and stabilizing his rule, James suddenly declared Sarawak independent. The Bangni Kingdom cursed the White Devils for being despicable and shameless, and immediately launched troops to attack.

The Ni army, which could not even defeat the Iban rebels, was naturally defeated by James, and they counterattacked and occupied a large area of ​​territory.

In 1843, James appointed the Malay Hasin as prime minister, abolished corporal punishment, slaveholding, and headhunting, and ruled Dading.

In 1844, the Jacobite Henry Wise lobbied London to get the British government to recognize Sarawak, and then Sarawak gradually began to invade eastward.

In September 1863, James made his nephew Charles regent and returned to Britain. Britain recognized Sarawak's status.

In March 1868, the United States closed its consulate in Hong Kong and recognized the status of the Brooke Kingdom. In June, after James' death, his nephew Charles Anthony Johnson changed his surname to Brooke and took over as king.

Charles was proficient in the local Iban language, recruited Iban soldiers, used Malays as officials, and recruited Chinese immigrants to colonize the country. The Chinese became the second largest ethnic group and taxed tens of millions.

In 1917, after the death of King Charles of Sarawak, his nephew Charles Werner de Winter Brook succeeded him as king.

In 1941, Benzi invaded Borneo. On June 30, 1946, Charles Wiener de Winter Brook abdicated and handed over Sarawak to British management. He fled back to Britain with the huge wealth he had collected for three generations.

After World War II, the United Kingdom continued to administer Borneo until 1961, when the United Kingdom proposed the Malay Plan. On September 16, 1963, Sarawak, Sabah, Singapore and the Federation of Malay formed the Kingdom of Malay.

After reading the information, Sean looked in disbelief. The British went to Southeast Asia to establish a kingdom. This was so outrageous!

"I asked specifically about this." Norris explained: "Although the Brook Kingdom is recognized by the United Kingdom and the United States, even the original founder Bruce himself only regards it as a title.

, it’s actually a big company, but for the convenience of management.”

"What he learned was the system of the neighboring Lanfang Republic."

"However, the Lanfang Republic established by the Chinese had no backing, so it was destroyed by the Dutch in 1888. However, the Brooke Kingdom had the backing of Britain, so it continued its rule until 1946. The kingdom lasted for more than 100 years."

"Many elderly people in Sarawak still recognize the rule of the Brooke dynasty. After all, it was only 43 years after they abdicated."

"You mean to support the restoration of the descendants of Charles Brooke?" Sean immediately understood what Norris meant.

"Yes, boss, I feel that neither the Iban with the largest population nor the Chinese with the second largest population are perfect," Norris said with a smile.

Sean squinted his eyes and touched his chin. The ethnic composition of Sarawak is complicated. It is not just the Iban and Chinese. There are also more Malays in the third group than the first two races.

If we support the Malays to rise to power, we will be in big trouble in the future. There are too many Malays in Southeast Asia.

If you support the Iban people, the Malays may not support it, and they might even start a fight, which will give the Malays an excuse to intervene.

As for supporting the Chinese... Sean shook his head and rejected it after thinking about it. There is a reason why the Chinese are wary of all ethnic groups in Southeast Asia. There is already a Xingcheng. Another Chinese country covers an area as large as the United States.

They won't be able to sleep.

Sean had long had the idea of ​​splitting the Malays, but gave up because the national issue could not be resolved.

Now, the information collected by Norris has given him a new idea.

A puppet with a legitimate name, a basis for rule, and no threat to anyone can reassure everyone. If a British person is the king, the opposition in the UK will not be that strong, and the United States can handle it on its own.

The most important thing is that a puppet with few rights will definitely move closer to him in order to obtain greater benefits, which will be of great help to him in secretly controlling Sarawak in the future.

Looking at it this way, it feels like a sudden enlightenment.

"Can you find this Charles James?" Sean slapped the information and said excitedly.

"We've found it, and we're just waiting for the boss to make a decision. We took away the wealth accumulated by three generations more than 40 years ago, and today, 40 years later, it has declined again, hehe." Norris laughed dryly, his tone full of sarcasm.

"Very good!" Sean patted Norris on the shoulder with approval, "Very good, this matter is not urgent. It won't be too late to wait for Ma Lai to arrange the arrangements before looking for them. I think the people from the Brook family will not come here."

Rejected.”

As he spoke, Sean smiled and said, "Now it is no longer the empire that the sun never sets. Haha, it is also ridiculous. I don't know how regretful the Brook family is now. Look at the wealthy people in the Middle East and the small country.

Mu, how rich these kings are is simply staggering."

"Haha, those stupid guys in the UK who call themselves gentlemen are always so arrogant and live in their fantasies. In their eyes, a king is nothing compared to a British Lordship." Norris agreed with a smile.

Said: "Now Charles Brooke's descendants are probably so angry that they dug his grave!"

Sean nodded in agreement. There was no need to rush this matter. It was really not possible. He could just find someone to deal with as a descendant of the Brook family. Who could prove otherwise?

I will look for an opportunity to ask Shen Bi later and change his son's surname so that he can become a king for fun.

…

It was already night when Sean returned to the temporary war room again.

"Tell me, what's the progress?" Sean tapped the table lightly.

"The police have verified the list in accordance with our requirements and eliminated most people as suspects. There are currently 12 people left, most of whom cannot be contacted."

"Okay, we can reduce it to 12 people." Sean nodded to continue.

"The target mastermind has returned to his original address. Our personnel are using jammers to check little by little. However, the coverage of the jammer is not 100% accurate, especially in urban areas with complex terrain. We have tried our best to narrow the scope to

It’s within two buildings, but there’s no way to test it more specifically.”

"That's almost it. Where are the guard ships at sea? Are they still at their original positions?" Sean asked again.

"They moved their location. They were originally in the waters on the east side of Hong Kong Island. Today they started moving towards the west side and finally lost their trace." The communications expert said with a serious face.

"Huh?" Sean sat up straight suddenly, how could that be?

"Based on their movement trajectory, we judge that they may have gone to Gambling Macau, which is not Boss Li's communications company. The coverage area is very high, and they may have changed their phone numbers."

"Damn, how cunning!" Sean snorted and kept changing positions on the sea, basically completely eliminating the possibility of the hostages being rescued.

This is what he did when he kidnapped Boss Li's son last time.

Ahem.

"Keep an eye on the mastermind. Don't let him escape." Sean thought for a while and said confidently: "Wait until tomorrow. I will have a way to catch him tomorrow."

…

At night, Sean slept at Gong Ruxin's house.

The next morning, at the same time, the person from the Wanwan negotiation team called again. Sean picked up the phone again and asked directly without waiting for the other party to speak: "Are you ready for your account? Are there any accounts in different countries?"

Open a bank account."

Li Weijie: "..."

As a member of the kidnappers, I feel very bad now.

"It's open, please take note of it!" Li Weijie said angrily: "Bank of Paribas..."

"Wait a minute, I want to have a phone call with Mr. Wang Dehui. We will not transfer money until Mr. Wang Dehui's safety is ensured." Sean suddenly interrupted the other party.

Li Weijie: "..."

Sean, who had always been very proactive, suddenly stopped cooperating. Li Weijie was choked and felt very uncomfortable. Damn it, can you wait until I finish talking about my account!

"Write down the fucking account first!" Li Weijie yelled angrily.

"Beep beep..." There was a busy tone on the phone. Li Weijie was holding the phone in confusion. Was it disconnected?

It couldn't be that the other party hung up on me, right?

Not believing in evil, Li Weijie called again. After a few beeps, the phone was picked up and he heard the voice just now, "Is it Mr. Wang Dehui?"

"It's me, you just hung up on me?"

"From now on, I will only answer calls from Mr. Wang Dehui. I will not do anything until his personal safety is confirmed. Remember, the money is where it is. The US$60 million has been prepared. Whether I can get the money depends on

Are you obedient?" After saying that, Sean hung up the phone again.

Li Weijie froze on the spot, his whole body was not well. What do you mean, are we obedient? We are kidnappers. Hey, can you respect us?

When will the kidnapper stand up!

Shivering with cold air!

After cursing a few times, Li Weijie had no choice but to call the boss. One thing Sean was right about was that the 60 million was right there and he would get the money soon. Now they were more anxious than the other party.

After all, money is only real when it arrives, and Wang Dehui's more than one hundred kilograms of meat is not worth much.

When Zhong Weizheng heard the report from his subordinates, he was angry but did not feel surprised at all. Sean was not the woman like Gong Ruxin.

Being strong is normal behavior.

He just wants to make money now!

…

Monthly ticket, monthly ticket!

It's the last day
Chapter completed!
