Chapter 720 Living Conditions of the Chinese
At noon the next day, Wu Xuzhi's family finally got some information out. More than 70 people died in the entire city last night, and more than 90% of them were Chinese.
Among them was an acquaintance of Wu Xuzhi, his classmate Liu Minggang's family. They were engaged in maritime business, so they had a lot of weapons and equipment at home. They couldn't bear it at night, and there were many men in the family, so they beat to death more than a dozen patrolmen.
But later, because there were too many women in the family and there was no other support, the family of more than 40 people fell in a pool of blood under the siege of the Windmill Country’s army.
The remaining thirty or so people were all from other Chinese families. Basically, no one who took out weapons would have a good outcome. The people at the door were well fed and willing to provide them with some information, mainly because there was no need for them to be controlled, and their families gave them a relatively gentle feeling.
But even so, after noon today, a few more patrolmen will be posted at the door of every wealthy Chinese household to prevent what happened yesterday from happening again. In addition, some soldiers from Windmill Country will be stationed at crossroads throughout the city. If a riot occurs, these people can be dispatched immediately.
"Fortunately, we didn't act impulsively yesterday. If we had acted impulsively yesterday, this would be the result now."
Boss Wu breathed a sigh of relief. He was right after all. Otherwise, his whole family would have been in dire straits. These damn Windmill Country colonists were truly cruel and ruthless.
"Liu Minggang has been my classmate for two years. His dream has always been to fly a plane and keep himself in good health. His father has also promised him that as soon as he graduates from high school, he will be sent to the 72nd Army to fly planes. His father is also planning to raise funds to donate two planes to the 72nd Army. Now..."
Wu Xuzhi couldn't continue speaking, tears were already streaming down his face. It is said that men don't shed tears easily, but the playmate who had been with him every day was killed by those Western devils in just one night. How could he not feel sad?
"The telegraph still doesn't work?"
Boss Wu suddenly thought of the telegraph at home, which is a must-have gadget in Chinese families. In the past, when something happened and the telephone lines were cut, all communication relied on the telegraph. But now those Westerners have got high-power jammers, which are of no use at all.
Seeing the old butler shaking his head, Boss Wu knew that the Sunset Colonists were serious this time and would not give us too many opportunities.
"Master, I think what you said last night is right. We were supposed to gather information today. Even if everything goes well, the fleet coming from China will take about ten days. If it doesn't, it's hard to say. During this time, we must not attract their attention. We just need to slowly figure out a solution. Can a living person be killed by holding his urine?"
Originally everyone was very depressed, but the old housekeeper's words seemed to bring a glimmer of hope to everyone. These Western colonists can't always be like this. They also have times when they take a nap. In these ten days or so, we will eventually be able to find a solution.
Just when they were getting hopeful, a few kilometers away in the Governor's Mansion of Windmill Country, Governor Mandlake was shaking his wine glass and listening to the reports from his subordinates.
Not only he himself was afraid of the Dragon Kingdom's fleet heading south, but everyone including the Windmill Kingdom was opposed to this matter. However, the Western countries jointly exerted pressure, and the Windmill Kingdom was just a small country now and could not fight against the Western countries, so it could only reluctantly agree.
However, along with this telegram, there was another action plan, which was about the things currently going on in the market. The top leaders of Windmill Country had already issued an order that local Chinese and overseas Chinese must not be allowed to establish too close a relationship with the fleet. Of course, this was the first telegram, and the second telegram became that no relationship could be established.
Under this order, Governor Mandrake summoned some of his capable men and began to formulate various action plans, asking everyone to restrict the Chinese's every move. It would only take more than a month. As long as we can prevent them from making contact, they will not be able to cause any waves in the coming period.
"Very good. What you have done is very much to my liking. I will record everything you have done. When the Dragon Nation fleet leaves, you will all be rewarded by the Queen."
After listening to the report from his subordinates, Governor Mandrake raised his glass with great satisfaction. Several officers in front of him also raised their glasses, which was considered a victory in the first stage.
"Your Excellency, Governor, we are currently controlling some prominent Chinese families, as well as many middle-class and lower-class people. In the next few days, we must continue our efforts. I have also consulted the Windsor Empire, and they have tacitly approved of our actions."
An officer added that it was because of the pressure from the Windsor Empire and the Gallic Empire that they agreed to this visit.
"That's perfectly normal. Originally, General Li was fighting against the Russians. This was in line with Western democracy and in line with our interests. We even provided some assistance. But now he's reaching out to our territory. Do you think the people of the Windsor Empire want to be neighbors with General Li?"
Governor Mandrake said with a smile that he could finally see Westerners standing together. Some time ago, because of the Rakshasa incident, serious differences had arisen within Western countries, including their Windmill Country, which also needed to make some concessions.
Now, as long as the Western countries unite together, no matter how developed Longguo is, it will never be their opponent. Moreover, under the joint pressure, he believes that Li Shaoyi will not be able to do too well, because in his impression, Longguo is an extremely backward country. Even if Li Shaoyi wins the war against Luosha, it is the result of the support of Western countries. When Western countries no longer support you, I am afraid you will fall from heaven to earth.
"Governor, please go back and have a good rest. We have already prepared everything in your room. Didn't you take a fancy to it before..."
The officer behind him deliberately left his words unfinished, and the governor understood what was going on. It turned out that he had fallen in love with a Chinese girl, but she had been indifferent to him, so he had been kidnapped and brought here tonight...
