Section 754 British Patrol
After the contract was signed, Earl Condon's life was not very easy, because all the most prosperous areas in Malaysia were handed over to the Chinese. Although the remaining land area was still quite large, these places were different for the original British. Who would be willing to let the British live a good life to move to such a countryside? But the original places have now been occupied by the Chinese. If you want to live in the area occupied by the Chinese, you have to follow the conditions of others and all kinds of laws must be abide by. If the law is not abide by, then the prison will be waiting for you.
In the past few days, Earl Condon felt that several years had passed. For him, going to the Far East to serve as the governor of Singapore and Malaysia was his biggest dream. But when he proposed this, Singapore was already in the hands of the Japanese, and he could only serve as the governor of Malaysia. But in a few days in Malaysia, all kinds of things were almost annoyed him. Now he lost the most important region of Malaysia and was in a state of turmoil. The domestic side was very satisfied with his approach. Anyway, the domestic side had already handed over Malaysia to the United States, and it would take a year to take over Malaysia with the United States. In this year, China probably had to develop Malaysia all over. By then, the dispute between China and the United States began, and domestic matters would be resolved, but local matters would not be resolved.
First of all, the life problems of the soldiers and officials under his command. There are nearly 20,000 people in total. In addition, some businessmen, 30,000 to 40,000 British people watched him live and lost the most prosperous area in Malaysia. Their taxes and other incomes have been greatly reduced. Especially now, the various taxes and miscellaneous taxes of Chinese people cannot be collected. Moreover, many Chinese have already proposed that they pay taxes in accordance with regulations, just like other indigenous people, and they cannot increase other useless taxes. If this part is less, the Malaysian government's income will be reduced by more than 60%. The original number was not enough for them to spend, but now it has been reduced by 60%. I really don't know how to live.
"Dear Mr. Earl, an officer from the security regiment came outside the door. It is said that he is the highest military leader of the security regiment. He hopes to make an appointment with you for a while to discuss local security issues." It was another headache, but what was different from before was that after Earl Condon came to his office, his assistant told him a very important appointment.
Earl Condon praised the security team from his heart. It has to be said that the security team's efficiency is still very fast. In just a few days, the local garrison has already formed a scale. If it were the British, it would take at least one month to two months. No wonder the security team can become the overlord of Asia in the shortest time, and even the overlord of the world. Now is the time to show their efficiency. Anyway, local public security is nothing for the British. They have been doing this for so many years. As long as the British are not threatened, the indigenous people and Chinese people will have nothing to do with them. There is nothing to do now. Let's see what the security team wants to do?
"I'm fine now, so I'll ask him to come in." Earl Condon is not fine. In fact, he has many things now, but he doesn't want to do it. The most important thing is that he can't solve those things. For example, the people under him all have to work with him, such as the patrolmen on the street. They used to go to the street to get a taxi, and their salary was very small, but they lived a very comfortable life every month. Now that the Chinese have taken over the most prosperous area, they can't go to work at all, because there are Chinese patrolmen there and they don't have their place, so their living standards have dropped greatly. They can still hold on for one or two days, and no one can hold on for a long time.
When Earl Condon first saw Zheng Liang, he just felt that this person was a powerful person. From that look, he was definitely not an ordinary person. He was a little puzzled. Why are the Chinese people seen in this era so powerful, but his ancestors told him that all Chinese people were a group of sheep, and the eyes of the person in front of him were also a hungry wolf.
Zheng Liang had no friendship with Earl Condon, so he came up and said his intention to come here. The main purpose was to form a security team, with a population of about 3,000. This security team hoped to be selected among the British because they had to do something to suppress the natives, so they were selected among the British. This made Earl Condon very satisfied. There were too many people who came to him to make trouble, and there was no place to settle them. Zheng Liang came to him to find him, as if he had given him a pillow.
"Of course there is no problem with this. Mr. Zheng also knows that we British people pay attention to the benefits of our interests when doing things. I wonder what kind of reward Mr. Zheng can give us?" Earl Condon himself is a nobleman. He usually doesn't know how to talk about money, but the actual situation is always different from his ideals. It is a good thing for the British to survive in Malaysia, so it is necessary to discuss the issue of treatment. Earl Condon is also relatively nervous now. He is planning to intercept some of the treatment of these people as government funds.
"Of course we will not treat you badly in this regard. It turns out that as much money your British government gives them, we will give you as much money. As long as they do not bully us Chinese, we only have half of the things seized by the indigenous people, and the remaining half will be taken away by them. And if you want to buy weapons and ammunition from us, we can also pay them with weapons and ammunition. You can choose any weapon we have, it is OK." Zheng Liang observed that when he said his last sentence, Earl Condon's eyes lit up. The British army in Malaysia can be said to be the beggar army. Various weapons and ammunition are very lacking. If they can give them some weapons and ammunition, they will also have the ability to protect themselves in future turmoil.
