The arrogance started from Chinatown

Chapter 716 Their Target is Laozi
"I know that some of the companies here have some unpleasantness with Chen Lao Hu..." Chen Yayan's eyes swept over the other people at the long table.

"But now we Chinese are in great trouble, and we can only ask him for help."

"I'm not worried, so why are you worried?"

The San Francisco branch of the Yixing Church, which he led, was swept away by Chen Zhengwei.

In fact, he didn't like Chen Zhengwei either, but no one knew how long the current situation on the Malay Peninsula would last, and no one knew how many people would die in this turmoil.

And the British keep making excuses.

They could only seek help from Chen Zhengwei and use his powerful strength to rescue the Chinese in Perak and Selangor.

As for the others... they were also wary of Chen Zhengwei.

They had all heard more or less about Chen Zhengwei's style of doing things.

Asking him for help is no different from inviting a wolf into the house.

Previously, Lin Fuyuan found them through Zhang Yan and wanted to sell some immigrants and miners to the United States, but was rejected by them.

They were also afraid that if they lured Chen Zhengwei here, Chen Zhengwei would cause trouble for them.

But now that the situation has come to this, I naturally can’t care about so much.

"If you, Chen Yayan, are not afraid, why should we be afraid? We just don't know whether he is willing to come. Even if he is willing to come, it may not be too late! What is the point of him coming when everything is over?" Ye Yalai said.

"I heard that he is in Vietnam. If he receives the news, he will come here for no more than four days!" Chen Yayan said.

He heard the news from a French businessman from Saigon.

He also knew who could contact Chen Zhengwei.

After finishing his words, Chen Yayan looked at everyone, his hands on the table, his expression gradually becoming ferocious:

"As long as he is willing to help, if he wants to immigrate, we will give him immigration, if he wants miners, we will give him miners! Even if he wants my life, I will give it to him!"

"Blood for blood, tooth for tooth! Those native monkeys killed so many of us, I want them to pay with blood!"

……

The next morning, Chen Zhengwei came out of the room, holding his waist, and strolled to the deck in his trousers and shirt to bask in the sun.

I was very irritable last night and wanted to relieve my anger.

As a result, I am even more angry now.

"Brother Wei, I've reported back the situation!" Li Xiwen walked to Chen Zhengwei, his eyes bloodshot, obviously he didn't sleep well last night.

"Say!"

"The riots started in Larut, Perak Sultanate. Because of a conflict between the two sides, the natives went crazy. But before that, the natives were not quite right. This incident did not happen suddenly. They had planned it long ago!"

"Nonsense, if it wasn't premeditated, how could there be riots in several cities?" Chen Zhengwei said unhappily.

"There have been riots in all the major cities and mining areas of the Perak Sultanate, and even in the Selangor Sultanate..."

"There are about 100,000 Chinese people in these two countries combined, and most of them are now trapped there. Only a few have fled to Penang for refuge."

"From the information we have received so far, the Chinese workers who stayed in those two sultanates suffered heavy casualties, especially the Chinese businessmen. Their shops were robbed and burned, and the shop owners were killed and thrown into the streets..."

"And the British said they were short of manpower... So far there has been no response..."

"Penang and Singapore are not a big deal. These two places belonged to the Straits Settlements and were directly administered by the British. Moreover, the Chinese population accounted for more than half of the local population."

"There was a little commotion in Malacca, but it wasn't a big deal!"

Li Xiwen stood aside and spoke. Lin Changning also walked out of the cabin and leaned against the door to listen.

"I've said it before, there won't be chaos if everyone has a gun! If those Chinese had guns, would such a thing happen?" Chen Zhengwei said, spreading out one hand.

What he did made outstanding contributions to world peace and racial equality.

Chile, Peru and Bolivia fought so fiercely before that Chile almost reached the capital of Peru.

I sold a batch of guns to Peru, but now these three countries are no longer able to fight.

These Malaysian Chinese just don’t have guns!

"In addition, some wealthy businessmen in Malaysia wanted to ask Brother Wei for help. They agreed to whatever we needed, whether it was money or materials."

"There is also a Malaysian gang that sent a telegram through Uncle Zhang Yan, asking Brother Wei for help. They said that as long as Brother Wei is willing to help, they can help with immigration and miners!"

"They're thinking of me now! What have they been thinking of?" Chen Zhengwei frowned and cursed fiercely.

"Besides, am I short of military expenses or immigration? If I really ask for it, can they afford it? What is my wealth, what is their wealth?"

Of course, having said that... they still have to pay the money.

Chen Zhengwei's going to Malaysia has nothing to do with the small profits they promised, but it doesn't mean that those people don't have to pay anything.

It's two different things.

"Notify other ships that we will not be entering Bangkok for resupply, we will be heading directly to Penang!"

Chen Zhengwei stood up and walked to the bow, watching his fleet sailing through the sea... He felt no sense of pride.

Mainly because I've seen it a lot.

He was thinking about something else now. His mind was spinning rapidly. After a moment, he had a sneer on his face:

"Fuck him, the fucking British are behind this!"

"Why do you say that?" Lin Changning hugged his waist from behind.

"Perak and Selangor are both sultanates. Riots broke out in both regions. Did the local sultans not know about it? Did they collude? Even if they did collude, the target was the British. How could it be the Chinese?"

"And Malacca, that's the fucking Straits Settlements!"

"Who has the power to collude with these people? And why would they go to such great lengths just to rob the Chinese for a few small things?"

"But this will also harm the interests of the British! The riots in these two regions have almost come to a halt..."

"That's for the greater good!" Chen Zhengwei said coldly, his mind working rapidly as he asked Lin Changning.

"What greater interests can be sought by making this happen in Southeast Asia?"

Without waiting for Lin Changning to answer, Chen Zhengwei's face darkened, and his eyes were filled with ferocity: "Of course it's his fucking father!"

Lin Changning was startled and tightened his arms around Chen Zhengwei's waist.

"Are you their target?"

"What else is there to plot in Southeast Asia? What forces can be attracted by starting a riot in the Malay Peninsula?" "Unless they want to take this opportunity to destroy the two sultanates, but those two sultanates are already their colonies, so they don't need to do that at all."

"They know my character. I know I will not sit idly by and watch this happen! Besides, what we in San Francisco and Los Angeles lack the most is immigrants..."

“And it just happened when I was in Southeast Asia…”

"It would take at least a month or two, or even longer, to arrange something like this. If I'm not mistaken, they were planning for a riot to happen when I arrived in Penang!"

"But it accidentally exploded early!"

Chen Zhengwei's mind worked quickly and he guessed the British's ultimate goal in a short time.

"They want penicillin? But how can they trick you into falling into their trap?"

"Of course it's penicillin... They are waiting for me in Penang... They won't agree to my taking action in the Malay Peninsula unless they use penicillin in exchange! Otherwise, if I dare to do anything in the Malay Peninsula, it will be equivalent to declaring war on Britain!"

"The two sultanates of Perak and Selangor are, after all, British protectorates."

"Believe it or not, there will be a riot in Penang after we arrive in Penang!" Chen Zhengwei sneered.

"They know my character and will definitely do something!"

"Then let's go back to San Francisco, and their goal will fail! You wouldn't step into a trap knowing that it's ahead, would you?" Lin Changning said softly, pressing his face against his back.

"Although you may seem rude and barbaric to outsiders, I know you are always very smart! I have never met anyone smarter than you!"

"Knowing that they are plotting against me, if I do nothing, wouldn't that make me a coward?" Chen Zhengwei's face was uncertain.

"They are plotting against you, but aren't you also plotting against them? It's just a matter of seeing who has better skills! You don't need to care too much about this! As long as you don't fall into the trap, you win!" Lin Changning said behind her.

"What did I plot against them?" Chen Zhengwei said unhappily, "Don't talk nonsense!"

He just arranged someone to prepare the world's biggest scam, but it hasn't even started yet!

In addition, he instigated some Boers to assassinate the British ambassador to the United States, in an attempt to continue the war between the British and the Boers and draw Britain into the quagmire of war.

However, this plan did not succeed, as the British were well aware of their own army.

Therefore, the two sides are still continuing negotiations.

Speaking of which, Chen Zhengwei’s previous arrangement was similar to what the British did in the Malay Peninsula.

These thoughts flashed through Chen Zhengwei's mind, and then an idea came to him.

"War quagmire?" Chen Zhengwei suddenly reacted.

"The British are not aiming for penicillin!"

"They know that I can't exchange penicillin. The worst that can happen is that I will just turn around and leave, and their work will be in vain! They stabbed themselves several times and didn't make a penny!" Chen Zhengwei subconsciously took out a cigar and said as he thought.

"The quagmire of war... they want to trap me in the quagmire of war!"

"I am developing too fast now, and I have caused so many troubles! It has already affected the interests of Britain! But because of the existence of penicillin, they don't want to break up with me, so they just want me to fight with the natives of the Malay Peninsula!"

Chen Zhengwei pondered and said, "If I send people to the Malay Peninsula, those natives will immediately have a batch of more guns in their hands!"

"If I'm not prepared, my men will definitely suffer heavy casualties. They might even hang up my men's bodies as a demonstration. With my personality, I will never give up... I will definitely continue to send people here."

"It takes two months to get supplies from San Francisco to the Malay Peninsula. As long as they give the natives some help, they can drag me here..."

"If I do this, I will have to invest a lot of money and manpower here, which will slow down my own development and even force me to rely on them."

"Besides, this is their colony. They can ask both of us to stop fighting and accept their mediation at any time according to the situation. This will have almost no impact on them, and it can also create hatred between the local indigenous people and the Chinese, which is beneficial to their rule..."

"Damn, they are really good at calculating! If they had done what they thought, they would have won several times! They would have won so much that they would be numb to it!" Chen Zhengwei sneered.

"So they planned so much just to slow down your development?" Lin Changning released his hand from around Chen Zhengwei's waist, walked to the side, held onto the fence, half turned around and looked at Chen Zhengwei.

He took the match from Chen Zhengwei, lit it, and used his hand to block the fire to help him light the cigar. It took several attempts before he succeeded.

"We can develop so fast because I am powerful and strong enough to control both internal and external forces. But if I am dragged into the quagmire and the development momentum slows down, many contradictions will arise and some people will become bolder."

"Also, I've been causing too much trouble recently, which has affected their interests. They don't want me to continue causing trouble!"

Chen Zhengwei spoke while puffing out smoke and completely sorted out his thoughts.

After all, he often used this method. He had done the same thing to the British. The plans of both sides were simply cut from the same mold.

If you put yourself in the other person's shoes, it's easy to guess the other person's intentions.

"Now that you understand everything, what do you plan to do now?" Lin Changning kept his eyes on his face.

"Of course we're going to Penang!" Chen Zhengwei sneered.

"But before that, telegraph Randolph Churchill and tell him to spread the word about Malaysia."

"Such a large-scale riot occurred in the colony, and so many Chinese were killed. It was such a serious tragedy!"

"And the British Colonial Office and the Navy were so slow to act that there was no response at all for several days after the riot!"

"Shouldn't the Colonial Office and the Navy give the public an explanation?"

Chen Zhengwei knew that doing so would not be of much use, but at least it could cause some trouble to the Colonial Office and the Navy.

As for the one who plotted against me, it must be someone from the diplomatic department...

"Wait a minute!" Chen Zhengwei suddenly remembered something, the telegram that Randolph Churchill sent to him when he was in Hong Kong.

I asked myself why he suddenly became so reliable, and I wanted to be tougher.

He must have discovered that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs had a plan against him.

Chen Zhengwei knew that the events in Hong Kong were caused by himself, so he didn’t think much about it at the time.

And Randolph Churchill thought that the Hong Kong incident was a Foreign Office plan.

In fact, the Malay Peninsula is the plan of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

After thinking this through, Chen Zhengwei immediately knew what to do.

"Tell Randolph! It was the British Foreign Office that instigated the Malay natives to massacre the Chinese! The Colonial Office is also not free from responsibility!"

The ruling party in the UK today is the Liberal Party.

The Churchill family is an important member of the Conservative Party.

If this matter fell into the hands of the Conservatives, it would be enough to make the Foreign Secretary and the Secretary of State for the Colonies suffer.
