When Hicks met Sidney Strach, Scott Stella was slapping the table for Benson Tauhti.

Stella is a Lion City official, a white British, and has enough psychological advantages in front of Tauhti, a Dutchman, and the day after the Ark was seized, Stella came to the port of Medan to negotiate with Tauherti, but Tauherti has not let him go, so it has been delayed until today.

"Mr. Tauhti, there is something I want to inform you, the mercenaries of the Umbrella Company have arrived in the Lion City, if you don't want to make trouble, then let the Ark leave as soon as possible, otherwise the viscount of Nyasaland is not easy to mess with, you can find out with the Germans in this regard, and see how the Governor of Tanganyika or the Governor of Southwest Africa will deal with this matter." Stella is a traditional British aristocrat, and she is still polite and polite when she first negotiates, but in the past few days, Stella's attitude has become more and more irritable.

"Mr. Stella, I have explained to you that this was an accident, that no one wants to see this happen, that those responsible have been punished, and that if Lord Nyasaland promises not to pursue this matter again, then the Ark can set off at any time." Benson Taugherty frowned, if a week ago the Dutch in the East Indies did not know who Roque was, then this week, Roque's name is already known to everyone in the East Indies.

Along with this, there was also Roque's notoriety in southern Africa.

Really, even by colonial standards, many of Roque's actions were very hateful.

Don't forget that the current colonial system was established under the leadership of Britain and France, so as a British aristocrat, Roque should have tried his best to maintain the current colonial system and safeguard the interests of the colonial overlords, instead of inciting the colonial natives of weak and small countries to rebel, and then annexing the colonies of those weak and small countries.

The last victim was Portugal and the most recent victim was Germany.

Portugal and the Netherlands were in a similar situation, once glorious but now completely weakened, struggling to survive on the few remaining colonies.

The situation in Germany was very different from that of the Netherlands, after the defeat of France in the Franco-Prussian War, Germany was already the new world's first army, and then the world's first army was crumbled in Tanganyika, forced to recognize the "independence" of the rebels at Fort Glory.

Although nominally the rebels at Fort Glory defeated the regular army reinforced by the German mainland, the whole world knew that it was the mercenaries of Nyasaland who defeated the Germans.

Now that the Ark has been seized in the port of Medan because of the private actions of an official, to be honest, Benson Tauhti would have wanted to have the perpetrator shot to appease Roque's anger if he could, but unfortunately the perpetrator was a relative of the Queen of the Netherlands, who had now resigned and returned to the Netherlands, leaving the Governor of the East Indies with the current chicken feathers.

"Do you think Lord Nyasaland will give you such a promise now? Sober up, Mr. Tauhti, continuing to seize the Ark will only make Lord Nyasaland even angrier, leading to a more uncontrollable gaffe, and the end result may be something we don't want to see, is this what your governor meant? Are you trying to threaten Lord Nyasaland with the immigrants aboard the Ark? I can now tell you very formally, Lord Nyasaland will not accept any threats! The nobility of the British Empire will definitely not compromise! Scott Stella almost roared at the end, slapping the table and yelling at Benson Tauhti.

"So what can I do with Mr. Stella? I was originally just an ordinary tax collector in other provinces, and it was impossible for me to be the port authority of the Port of Medan in my life, and it was because of that greedy, damned, and cowardly former port authority that I was forced to stay here and accept your accusations, and I don't want to do this-" Benson Tauhti almost cried out loud, the existence of the Dutch East Indies was largely thanks to the protection of the British Empire, and now the Dutch East Indies offended the military nobles of the British Empire—

is also a real power and military nobleman who holds military power-

Benson Tawherty was also desperate, but Benson Tauhti had no choice.

Benson Tauketi was a Dutchman born in the East Indies, who had been in the Dutch East Indies since at least his grandfather's generation, and was introduced as a scapegoat because he had no power in his homeland.

"Please tell Your Excellency the Governor that Count Minto and Colonel McMahon, as well as Lord Gladstone, are doing their best to mediate, but I can't guarantee that it will be effective, you must know the importance of this matter, this is an affront to Lord Nyasaland, you are seizing a ship from Southern Africa, and the ship is a citizen of Southern Africa, and Lord Nyasaland is the Minister of Defence of Southern Africa, the Commander-in-Chief of the Army, so if Lord Nyasaland wants to retaliate, this is also Lord Nyasaland's right." Scott Tesla lists all the big names, the Earl of Minto as the Viceroy of India, McMahon as the Indian Commissioner, and the Viscount Gladstone as the Viceroy of South Africa.

McMahon is the McMahon of the "McMahon Line."

As for the revenge from Roque, this is also Roque's right, just like a duel between nobles a hundred years ago, since the East Indies seized the ships of southern Africa, then they must be prepared to bear the wrath of southern Africa, which is universal.

As for whether the East Indies can withstand it, no one cares about it.

Except for the Dutch.

"Please don't do this, Mr. Strom—" Benson Tauhti had just spoken, when fierce gunfire and violent explosions suddenly came from the harbor line, and through the light of the fire, the Ark docked on the dock was on fire, and the only wooden sail gunboat on the Dutch side was sinking in a violent explosion and raging fire.

In the Netherlands, gunboats of this class were also called battleships, and the official name was sail battleships.

"Damn it, what's going on?" Benson Taugherty roared, and then his eyes glazed back and his face turned pale.

"There is no doubt that this is revenge from Lord Nyasaland, and I have warned you that the consequences may not be affordable for you-" Scott Tesla shook his head and sighed, now that the southern African side has moved, then Scott Stella's work has come to an end, and then when one side admits defeat, maybe Scott Stella will have a chance to return to the Port of Medan to mediate.

But it's more likely that there will be a change to a higher officer, such as Colonel McMahon.

Who cares, Scott Stella just wants to go back and get a good night's sleep right now.

"Mr. Stella, you can't go—" Benson Tauhti grabbed Scott Stella like a drowning man who refuses to give up the only straw.

"You know, Mr. Tauhti, it doesn't make sense, you probably don't know this Lord Nyasaland, do you want me to tell you what he has done in southern Africa? You always know that he is Chinese - ten years, just ten years, a Chinese became a viscount of the British Empire, do you think the reason is that he farms the land better, or does he do well in the kitchen? "Scott Stella is not in a hurry to go, the moon is dark and the wind is high, and it is not safe to walk at this time.

"It must be that he is very good at making tea-" Benson Tauhti was still in the mood to joke at this time, which was definitely a joke: "-Please, Mr. Scott, please tell Lord Nyasaland that the Ark can leave now, and we will compensate the Ark for all its losses, and we will hold all those responsible accountable-"

"Well, what can I say, Mr. Tauhti, I have advised you so before, do you remember what you said then?" Scott Stella sighed faintly.

Before Benson Taugherty could reply, there was a sudden violent knock at the door, accompanied by a cry of terror: "Mr. Tawherty, Mr. Tawherty, we have been attacked by unknown forces, and now we have suffered heavy casualties, Mr. Huggins has been killed, and the Batavia has been sunk—"

"Shut up, I'm not blind, I'm not deaf, if I have the ability, I'll destroy the enemy, if I don't have the ability, don't bother me!" Benson Tawherty finally broke out, and then there was an eerily quiet outside the door.

Only the gunfire on the pier remained intense.

Standing in the window of Benson Tawherty's office, you can clearly see that the two troops are exchanging fire on the dock.

Just by the dock near the Ark, a number of mercenaries with curved brimmed hats have formed an improvised line of defense with sandbags, and are using weapons, including heavy machine guns, to launch three-dimensional strikes against the East Indian colonial servants who dare to appear on the docks.

It's really three-dimensional, in addition to the position on the dock, the mercenaries also climbed to the roofs of nearby houses and shot condescendingly, the mercenaries on these roofs did not fire fiercely, but the shooting was very rhythmic, unhurried showed strong confidence, if the East Indian Colonial Servant Army launched an organized attack, the mercenaries on the roof would also use grenades to attack, their grenades were thrown far and accurately, Benson Tauhti clearly saw that an officer wearing the rank of major was directly blown down by three grenades.

There is no luck.

The major, probably the highest-ranking officer surviving, was blown up and the trembling army of colonial servants who had been hiding behind the corner house finally collapsed, fleeing despite the officers' obstructions, even if the officers shot the deserters on the spot, they could not stop more and more deserters.

Then these officers, who were trying to maintain order, were killed one by one.

The servant army finally collapsed completely.

The gunfire gradually became sporadic and sporadic .

Scott Stella sat behind the curtains and watched with interest.

Benson Tauhti was dumbfounded.

Benson Taugherty had heard that the mercenaries of the Umbrella Company were very powerful, but he did not expect the mercenaries of the Umbrella Company to be so powerful.

No wonder they were able to defeat the world's number one army.
