Chapter 719: Imprisonment at Home
"It's just like being in jail, except it's in our own home."
After the broadcast, Wu Xuzhi made a summary of the matter, which was basically in line with the facts. Anyway, as long as the Dragon Kingdom fleet does not leave, you guys should stay at home. As for the things you were delayed outside, they did not mention it. Of course, this is also their usual operation. No one cares about the interests of the Chinese.
"If we do what they say, not only will we lose our freedom, not to mention the losses to our company, but what will become of the fleet back home? We haven't even been welcomed into this foreign land, and the people who come over must have been hand-picked by them. If we let our brothers back home lose their trust, will they still care about us in the future? They're trying to sever our ties with home from the root."
Wu Xuzhi is just a student, so he can't see far enough, but his elder brother is different. Ever since their father died in the last catastrophe, his elder brother has been working on his own outside.
The first thing he considered was the issue of the fleet. After the fleet arrived in Southeast Asia, it would definitely have to communicate with the local Chinese and overseas Chinese in various aspects. But now the patriotic Chinese and overseas Chinese have been locked up. Those who used to be dependent on Western colonizers, how could they possibly say good things about the domestic fleet?
It may even create conflicts. Once such conflicts arise, the domestic side will definitely no longer care about Southeast Asian affairs, and then they will be real wanderers.
"Who came up with this idea? How could it be so cruel? We've been waiting so long for the domestic fleet to arrive, and it's a fleet led by a new generation of patriotic generals. If they lose heart here, who can we rely on in the future?"
Wu Xuzhi was almost biting his teeth off. The overseas Chinese in Southeast Asia have been very patriotic in recent years, but unfortunately the domestic forces are relatively weak and unable to provide them with any substantial help. At most, there are some diplomatic condemnations, which cannot change their current situation at all.
When overseas Chinese leader Chairman Chen returned to China, he reached an agreement with the most prominent warlord in the country. They were so happy that they were almost crazy. Although the Fengche Country authorities tried their best to stop it, the visit was finally successfully finalized thanks to the efforts of Li Shaoyi and them.
During this period, they also made some preparations, fearing that the people of Windmill Country would go back on their word. However, they did not expect that everything would be calm during this period. Until the day before the domestic fleet set off, the authorities of Windmill Country actually issued such an order.
Now they finally understand that this is just to paralyze us. Nothing happened before, and we thought things were going smoothly. At the last hurdle, they locked all of you at home. No matter what ideas you have, as long as you can't meet with the people who built the team, and then fool those people in the fleet back, this matter will be over, and they can also successfully alienate the relationship between you.
It can be said to be a vicious plan that kills two birds with one stone!
"Don't panic for now. If we panic, we really won't be able to accomplish anything. Let's not do anything extreme for now. They are controlling a lot of Chinese people now. There are quite a few Chinese people in this city. They are not using local forces, but patrolmen from other places. There will definitely be loopholes. What we have to do is hide first. It will take time for the domestic fleet to arrive here. Let's not think of ourselves as a beacon. By then, they will surround us and block our way inside and outside. It will be too late."
Boss Wu was a man who had seen the world, and after he said this, everyone present nodded.
Let's not do anything extreme now. If you do something excessive, it won't just be the patrolmen at the door who will be responsible. There may be people outside the surrounding walls who will be on duty.
"Big brother is right, old housekeeper. Let the kitchen prepare the best first. We will deliver it to these people outside at dinner time. Take good care of them three times a day. Also, pay them when they are due. The letters you write these two days should all be about business matters. I will also write a few letters to my classmates. Be sure to pay them enough for the errands."
Wu Xuzhi immediately understood that we are now in a weak position and cannot take drastic actions. If that really happens, we will probably be blacklisted.
Now let's tame these people at the door first. They know the local indigenous people very well. These people don't have much ideas and their brains are not very fast. They are usually called monkeys, which is absolutely based on facts. As long as you feed them well, some things will be easier to deal with.
"Don't worry, Second Young Master. I'll do it right away. We have a few local people in our mansion who are trustworthy. They have helped us a lot since the time of the old master. They are just what we need now. We will definitely be able to get some information tonight."
The old butler has lived in the area for decades and is very familiar with the local situation. He is afraid that the two young masters lack experience in dealing with the situation. If they take out the weapons from the basement and engage in a gunfight with the people outside, that would be a real mistake.
During the catastrophe that year, most of the survivors did not take the path of fierce resistance, and the families that took the path of fierce resistance had almost no one left.
However, this kind of frustrating life also makes many people feel uncomfortable. We thought that after the arrival of this fleet, our lives would be greatly improved. Now it seems that it is far from the case. The Windmill Country has already taken control of these things and took action in advance before the arrival of the fleet. It seems that there is still a traitor among us Chinese.
Fortunately, the two young masters kept their mouths shut about the weapons and didn't tell anyone.
That night, gunshots were heard around Batavia. Wu Xuzhi and his family were all in the living room. Although they had hired dozens of guards, they were still a little scared at the moment. Those guards were holding cold weapons in their hands. Although the family had bought some hot weapons, they dared not take them out at the moment.
If you take out hot weapons and are discovered by the patrolmen at the door, the Windmill Country's army will come over immediately. The people of Windmill Country have very strict control over the weapons in the hands of the Chinese.
All weapons and ammunition must be registered. Even if there is an extra bullet, they will check it for a long time. They rule the Chinese with high pressure...
