Chapter 828: Looking Forward to Tomorrow
Seeing that Brad wanted them to withdraw the honor guard, Uba and Count Will didn't realize that Brad was catering to Xia Yunjie's intentions, and thought that Duke Brad didn't like it, so they couldn't help but feel a panic, and hurriedly asked someone to withdraw the honor guard, stopped playing, and then carefully led the way on the side.
There were bodyguards waiting by the black Rolls-Royce door, and when they saw Duke Brad and Xia Yunjie coming, they hurriedly opened the car door.
In fact, at this time, Uba and Count Will were still unsure of the identity of the young man next to Brad, but when they saw that Duke Brad deliberately gave way to the side, bowed and asked Xia Yunjie to take a seat first, and the young man also calmly bent down and got into the car, then the two of them were greatly shocked, so that Uba's fat couldn't help but tremble, and Will's eyes showed an extremely frightened gaze.
What Duke Brad's true identity is, Uba doesn't know much, but Will knows exactly what the head of the Stua family is in charge of Ajia.
This is the ancestor of the Stua family who has lived for five hundred and fifty years, and outsiders think that the Duke Brad in front of him is actually the descendant of Duke Brad I, but in fact, this is him at all, and it is nothing more than a change of ID card in dozens of hundred years. If it weren't for the defeat of the Holy Fire Heavenly Dragon two hundred years ago, maybe now because of him, the British Empire would have occupied the entire world.
How could such a character be so humble in front of another person? Could it be that this young man is even more powerful than Duke Brad?
Under the shocked gaze of Uba and Will, Xia Yunjie and Brad both got into the Rolls-Royce.
As soon as the two of them got into the car, the whole convoy started slowly.
The front and rear are Humvee military vehicles, with the Rolls-Royce in the center, and the black muzzles on the Humvee military vehicles are facing the surroundings in a threatening manner, arrogantly showing the noble status of the passengers in the Rolls-Royce car.
"Brad, you can do whatever you like when you're alone, and when I'm with you, I don't have to do that just now!" Sitting in the car, watching the car drive out of the airport, surrounded by the front and rear Humvee military vehicles, driving proudly on the streets of Lunago City, all vehicles and pedestrians were stopped by the police early, obviously in order to meet Duke Brad, the road that Duke Brad was traveling through was subject to traffic control, Xia Yunjie commanded lightly.
"Yes, Mr. Xia." Brad secretly wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and replied respectfully.
The car drove through the street without hurrying, and Xia Yunjie saw that many of the people waiting on both sides of the street were Chinese faces, which made Xia Yunjie can't help but think of the days when he accompanied Su Zhiyan in Remalan City, Wanbo Province, and the employees of Weida Company who met in Remalan City.
It seems that there have been more and more Chinese in Ajiya over the years, Xia Yunjie sighed in his heart, the convoy left the downtown area, and came to the suburbs with green grass, pine and cypress forests, a quiet and beautiful environment, higher terrain than the urban area, and a gentle hillside with an extremely open view.
A huge castle-like palace sits in a green pine forest, and a wide straight road leads to the palace gates.
"Lao Bu, is this the royal palace of Uba?" Looking at the palace surrounded by pine forests, with an incomparably huge lawn and fountains, Xia Yunjie frowned slightly and asked.
He would rather stay in a hotel than live in a palace full of eunuchs, palace maids, and a huge group of concubines.
"This is the palace that I ordered people to build in Aqiya in my early years, but I haven't been here for many years." Brad replied respectfully.
"You know how to enjoy it!" Xia Yunjie glanced at Brad and said.
"At that time, it was just a primitive and backward place, and the people were ignorant, and it was not enough for those people to understand the power of the British Empire without building some magnificent palaces." Brad said.
"The British Empire? Do you still yearn for the glory of the past? There was a chill in Xia Yunjie's voice.
China was also a victim of the rise of Britain back then, and if Brad now mentions the British Empire to him, he will naturally not have a good face.
"No, no, the servant doesn't dare!" Brad suddenly woke up from the glory of the empire, and said in a cold sweat.
Xia Yunjie glanced at Brad and didn't speak again, but it was this glance that made Brad dare not mention the words British Empire in front of Xia Yunjie again in his life.
This is the residence that Brad once ordered to build, and it is also the residence of the Stua family such as Earl Will in Lunago City. Of course, the most luxuriously furnished set of rooms in the palace, Earl Will did not dare to stay in them.
As soon as the convoy arrived at the gate of the palace, an Englishman who was already dressed and temperamentally like an old butler of the British aristocracy stood by the door, opened the door, and then bowed to welcome the Duke of Brad.
By this time, it was already dark in Lunago City, and Duke Will had already ordered a sumptuous dinner to be prepared.
After entering the palace, Brad personally settled Xia Yunjie in the most luxurious and comfortable room in the entire palace, and after some washing, they enjoyed dinner together.
Although Uba is the king of the second largest tribe in Ajiya, and the most powerful king of the land in the south of Ajia, he is considered the local master, but Brad is afraid that his rude behavior will defile the eyes of the master, so he directly asked Will to send him away, and did not leave him to dine in the palace.
Although Uba was unhappy in his heart, he knew that the British were powerful, and now that the Owensuk tribe was powerful, the Mojiti tribe needed to rely on the British if they wanted to compete with the Owensuk tribe, or even surpass them. And now, because of the Owensuk Native King Balu, and Balu's uncle Diad? Santos, the current president of Ajiya all have a strict pro-China complex, and even Diad? Santos's visit to China shortly after taking office has greatly angered the British, who are now very supportive of the Mojti tribe and have also stepped up their repression of the Owensuk tribe. This was a golden opportunity for Uba, and at this time he must firmly tie in with the British, especially the Stua family, who have a lot of power in Ajiya. So although Uba was unhappy in his heart, he still left quietly.
However, as soon as Uba returned to his palace, he was furious and knocked over a large number of ivory, ceramics and other precious items in the palace.
"The king, Mr. George, a British merchant, and Mr. Yamamoto Tairo, a Japanese merchant, ask for a meeting." Just as Uba was angry, a eunuch came forward and prayed.
Hearing that the British and Japanese were coming together, Uba's expression was slightly stunned, but he immediately tidied up his appearance, cleaned up his feelings, and said, "Please let them in." ”
Both the Englishman George and the Japanese Yamamoto Dairo were very powerful businessmen, and they were also one of the strengths of Uba's rivalry with the Owensuk people, the former was related to the British royal family, and the latter, Ubatong Guò He bought a lot of advanced weapons.
George the Englishman is a tall, thin man with a hooked nose, while the Japanese is a little short and fat, and the two stand together to a bit of comedy.
"Dear King Uba, I am very disappointed with the investment environment in your province of Kabin." As soon as he came in, Yamamoto said angrily.
"Why did Mr. Yamamoto say that? You Japanese businessmen have always been the honored guests of my Mojiti people, and we are willing to entertain you with the utmost sincerity and warmth. Uba wondered.
"Then why would Chief Luta rather sell their mines to the Chinese than to us? Could this be the sincerity and enthusiasm that King Uba spoke of? Yamamoto asked.
"Abominable Luta, doesn't he know that the most hated thing about my Uba is the Chinese? Mr. Yamamoto, don't worry, tomorrow I will send someone to surround the mine, and see how he Chinese still open the mine? When King Uba saw Yamamoto mention the Chinese, he couldn't help but think that a great earth king in his hall tonight didn't even have the qualifications to dine with that Chinese, and he was immediately full of anger and hatred.
"Uba is really our Japanese best friend, and I'm looking forward to tomorrow." Yamamoto had a gloating and sinister smile on his face.
He had the support of King Uba in that mine, and the price was very low, and the price opened by the Chinese was very high, and Chief Luta naturally would not sell it to him. However, the cunning Yamamoto Dairo knew that the king of Uba had always refused to accept the Owensuk tribe above him, and even the Chinese who supported the Owensuk tribe were full of resentment, so he came to the palace to complain and provoke, and he got what he wanted.
"Mr. Yamamoto is polite, the two Japanese women you gave me are very good, I like it very much!" King Uba smiled, and when he mentioned the two Japanese women, he remembered the appearance of the two petite women with tears under his fat body but kept pandering, and his eyes couldn't help but show a hint of confusion, as if the short and fat Japanese in front of him was a delicate Japanese woman.
"Since the king likes it, I'll send two more to you another day." Yamamoto said flatteringly.
King Uba was naturally happy for a while when he heard this, and then turned his eyes to George and said, "What about Mr. George?" And what are you here for? You know, we Ajia were originally subjects of the British Empire, and it was you who brought us civilization and knowledge, and now that Aguia is independent, we still have high respect for the former suzerain, at least our Mojiti tribe is like this, unlike the damned ungrateful Owensuk. ”
"Although my British Empire has given up its right to rule Ajiya, many of Ajia's minerals are still our private property, and private property is sacrosanct, so why did Chief Luta cooperate with the Chinese to mine my grandfather's mines?" Mr. George asked.
George's statement seems to have a point, as the British agreed to give up their colonial rights to Agiya, and the Agiya regime did agree that the British would retain their private property, including estates, mines, and so on. However, the mine that George just mentioned was only for his grandfather at the time, and he tried to fight for it, but it was about to be acquired, but because of the war of independence in Agiya, the British withdrew from Agia and fell short.
Originally, George was already dead set on this mine, but he didn't expect that the hero of the Argean War of Independence, former President Santhos, died suddenly of illness. Santos takes office. The Owensuk tribe is the largest tribe in Ajiya, and now the uncle of the Owensuk great soil king is sitting on the throne of the president, and is bound to lead the Owensuk tribe to become more and more dominant in Ajiya. President Santos's biggest opponent, and Diyad? As soon as Santos took office, he showed a one-sided pro-China attitude, which also made the British very dissatisfied. In this way, the Mojiti tribe and the British worked closely together in an attempt to bring the Diad? Santos ousted the presidency.
In this case, George's desire to retake the mine was immediately revived. He knew that Uba would definitely not dare to offend himself at this time, especially since he had a certain relationship with the British royal family. As for the British side, it naturally supports its own people, and there is no reason to support the Chinese.
