What is the most painful thing in the world?
It is that the things you try your best to protect may be betrayed overnight, and you may not even have the power to stop it.
At this time, Fatty Qiu felt almost heartbroken. Even though he could fight with Roosevelt and the Iron Father for the interests of the British Empire, he had no way to stop those people in the Labour Party from destroying the foundation of the great empire for their own selfish interests.
The strongest fortresses are often defeated from within, and the British Empire may be the fortress that is about to be destroyed.
How many people can understand such pain?
Seeing that Fatty Qiu did not speak, George emphasized again.
"So, compared to leaving the fate to London and the Labour Party, I would rather take control of the fate of North Borneo myself. The future there will be the same as the past, and there will be no changes, including the treaty with Britain."
Anyway, just fool around first, and when North Borneo is really in hand, won't we still have the final say?
The so-called treaty... is nothing more than a historical document, which should have been swept into the garbage heap long ago.
"How do you determine that the Labour Party will win?"
Churchill asked, looking directly at the young man in front of him.
"Mr. Prime Minister, why did you invite Attlee and others to form a cabinet?"
Looking at the prime minister who claimed to have saved the British Empire but buried it with his own hands, George knew very well what would happen next. Next year, after the victory in the European War, Attlee and his Labour Party would withdraw from the coalition cabinet, and soon they would win the general election and defeat Churchill. Attlee's Labour Party cabinet... was so stupid that it not only gave up India, but also Burma, including the Straits Settlements including Malaya and Singapore. It even promised to give up other colonies.
Why give up?
In one sentence, "for the welfare of the British people", in order to reduce military spending, the Attlee cabinet retired hundreds of thousands of tons of warships, claiming that the warships destroyed overnight were more than those sunk by the Germans in the two world wars. Overnight, the mighty British Empire Navy became a third-rate navy.
In order to reduce colonial expenses, give up colonies, the reason is... If they don't welcome us, let's go home! The money saved can be used to pay welfare.
Okay!
The behavior of Attlee and others is absolutely a complete British traitor. It is also they who opened the road of Western white leftism - to please voters, regardless of the cost, even if it means sacrificing national security and national interests!
What kind of people are those guys.
How could Fatty Qiu not know? However, he also knew that the wartime cabinet would fall at the end of the war.
Churchill came back to his senses and stared at George and said sarcastically.
"So you want to defend the colonies of the British Empire?"
"Mr. Prime Minister, that is your responsibility. I just want to defend my property. No matter who it is, never think of selling my property."
While responding to Fatty Qiu, George said again.
"I think our interests are common on this point!"
Indeed, they are common!
Fatty Qiu was silent for a while, then he stood up, walked to the window silently, and stared at the sea view outside the window. If it were in the past, he really couldn't accept that a Chinese bought a British colony.
However, if he kept his promise, it would at least be a British colony, at least a colony to some extent. However, if it was handed over to Attlee and others, no one knew what would happen.
But the North Borneo Company will always be the North Borneo Company.
In fact, Churchill had his own intentions for intervening in the North Borneo Company. He knew very well that North Borneo was not a British colony in legal terms, but he needed the North Borneo Company to recognize the previous treaty.
After all, Roosevelt, the cripple, had been trying to disintegrate Britain's colonies around the world, and the existence of the North Borneo Company was a bug. If the cripple wanted Britain's colonies to be independent, then the North Borneo Company must also be independent, which involved the interests of his agents. What would Roosevelt choose at that time?
While asking Britain to withdraw from its colonies, agree to North Borneo to maintain colonial rule? Or agree to change the North Borneo Company into a country on the spot, and the company's senior executives to serve as the head of state?
If so, can Britain also directly change the colony into a dominion, and the governor will become the head of the dominion?
Churchill was very curious, and besides being curious, he also needed to lay a foreshadowing.
"George, we will win this war soon. Next year, or the year after next at the latest, maybe by then, you can return to North Borneo..."
After a pause, looking at the young man in front of him, Churchill said in an extremely serious tone.
"But before you return to North Borneo, you need to go to the Colonial Office to change some procedures. After all, you are a chartered company and need to communicate a lot with the Colonial Office, especially post-war matters."
That's it...
Is it worth it for you, Fatty Qiu, to meet in person?
Since he came in person, he must have some intention.
But what did Fatty Qiu want from him?
Until he left Fatty Qiu's residence, George still didn't get an answer. Although he didn't get an answer, he was basically certain of one thing - Britain had acquiesced to the fact.
In other words, the biggest obstacle to taking charge of the North Borneo Company has completely disappeared.
"It's time to prepare to go home!"
The home George mentioned is not the brownstone house in New York where he hides his mistress, but North Borneo, no, Borneo!
When people's ambitions always expand, George in the past would at most think about the North Borneo Company, but now? His goal is the entire Borneo!
Even if Borneo is now under the control of the Japanese army, so what?
In the past, we didn't have a soldier in our hands, but now we have 20,000 elite soldiers in our hands, no, it should be 40,000!
The second batch of employees recruited by Zhu Yihai in China have just arrived in India. They will soon arrive in North Africa. After training in North Africa, they can be incorporated into the security force.
Even the instructor George has found them, the group of German paratroopers captured in Bastogne. In fact, if possible, he would like to find some officers from the German mountain troops as instructors. After all, both are the best in light infantry.
But at the moment, we have no choice, so we can only use those German special forces who once rescued Mussolini to deal with them.
In fact, George has never been a picky person, and his requirements are not high. He just wants to find some world-class instructors and weapons such as stg44 to deal with them first.
They are all using scrap copper and iron, so what high requirements can they have?
But 40,000 people... are they enough to take back Borneo?
When thinking about this in his mind, George naturally thought of another thing, that is, how to return to Borneo next. It is definitely impossible to walk there. There must be a boat, and it is not enough to just have a boat.
"There must be a warship, otherwise, I really don't feel at ease!"
Without a warship escort, dare to go to Southeast Asia? Right now, I am still busy with my daily life. If there is no escort, will I just take a boat and let others bomb me for fun?
