Hardy Empire 1945

After playing for a whole day and night, until three or four o'clock in the morning, the two girls reluctantly left the gaming table with sleepy eyelids fighting.

At this time, the two had already lost more than half.

As for Hardy, he didn't play. The casino is his own, and winning and losing are calculated according to the probability. As long as cheating is avoided, the casino will always be the winner. Now that he knows the result, Hardy has no interest in playing.

The next day, the two girls got enough sleep. It was already past three o'clock in the afternoon. After washing and eating, the two girls were going to go shopping in the shopping street.

Hundreds of thousands of shops are full of all kinds of luxury goods. This place is too attractive to women. Margaret and Taylor are not the ones who are short of money. The two started the crazy shopping mode. A few hours later, the two People spent four or five million dollars.

No one can afford such a girl.

Finally satisfied the shopping desire, the things were sent back to the hotel, Hardy asked the two what to do next, Taylor was out of ideas, but Margaret shouted: I saw that Las Vegas TV introduced a jumping undress Dance, I want to see a man strip show.

The girl jumped up and down excitedly as she spoke.

Hardy really didn't expect her to have such a hobby.

strip club,

There is a male striptease performance specially prepared for women. At the moment, there are seven or eight men on the stage, wearing only shorts, showing their muscular bodies, twisting their waists and swinging their hips to make various seductive moves. There are hundreds of women around the stage. Seeing the men's seduction show all screamed.

Even Margaret and Taylor were no exception.

Hardy clutched his forehead helplessly.

This woman is crazy, crazier than a man.

When he raised his head, he happened to see Margaret stuff a banknote into a male artist's shorts, and then slapped the male artist's ass.

Is this fucking princess educated by the strict British royal family?

After watching the strip dance, they went to the boxing gym again. Now there are boxing matches here all the year round. There are hundreds of spectators in the stadium. Margaret and Taylor found their favorite boxer and called the waiter to place a bet.

Game start,

The boxer punched to the flesh, and the fight was very fierce.

Margaret kept standing up and cheering,

Hardy looked at the excited look of this girl and wondered if she had violent tendencies.

Margaret's luck was very good tonight. One of his favorite fighters won by surprise, which made Margaret win more than 10,000 dollars.

Margaret waved and shouted excitedly.

It was already past 12 o'clock in the evening when we returned to the hotel, and we couldn't stay up so late today. Margaret was going to take Taylor back to the room, but Taylor refused her and went to Hardy's room.

night,

Margaret always felt that she could vaguely hear Taylor's screams in her ears. In fact, it might be an auditory hallucination. Those voices were imagined by herself, because she could guess what the two of them were doing at the moment.

Her Royal Highness, who was tortured by these voices, took a long time to fall asleep.

When she woke up the next day, it was already noon again. Margaret joined Hardy and Taylor. Seeing that the corners of Taylor's eyes were full of spring, and she looked very moist, she couldn't help but groan in her heart.

The three came to the restaurant.

After ordering a good meal, Hardy asked the two what they planned to play today. Margaret had already thought about it when she couldn't sleep last night.

I'm going to the racetrack today. I want to watch the horse races. In fact, I'm in the UK and I have raised a few specially bred thoroughbred horses. They are very fast. Why don't they bring them here and compete here? Maybe they can help me make money. Margaret said.

After watching the horse race, let's go to the disco to dance. I watched the introduction on the TV station. The disco here is so passionate and crazy.

No problem. Hardy nodded.

At this moment, two middle-aged men came over and saw Hardy eating, standing more than 20 meters away, hesitant to come over.

When Hardy saw the two, he waved to them. The two came over immediately when they saw Hardy calling, Boss, I'm sorry to bother you. I need to report something to you.

After speaking, the two glanced at Margaret and Taylor at the same table.

Hardy waved his hand, It's okay, just talk about it.

Boss, it's about the shipping company. Now the shipping volume in Japan and Hong Kong is increasing. In the past, we used to call at the port for refueling. Now, with the increase in throughput, it is not cost-effective to call at the port. We need to invest two more dollars every year. With 30 million US dollars, the company envisages building its own seaport terminal near the Strait of Malacca, which can be used as a re-export terminal on the one hand for docking supplies.”

It's a good idea to have a port of your own, which can not only support your own shipping, but also do re-export business. What do you think is the best place to locate it? Hardy asked.

Singapore, with its superior geographical location, must be the first choice, followed by Penang or Malacca.

Hardy thought for a while and said:

The environment in Southeast Asia is not stable now, and the investment in building a seaport is huge. I don't know what will happen in the future. What if the investment is in vain.

This is indeed a problem. The middle-aged man nodded.

Another middle-aged man next to him said: Boss, I have a proposal. You are now a British baron. You bought the Cayman Islands before. Why don't you just buy Singapore, Penang, or Malacca, and we can be ourselves. In this way, no matter what happens in the future, these places belong to our company, which can guarantee the safety and prevent the investment from being taken away.

Princess Margaret, who had been eating next to her, her eyes lit up when she heard what this man said, and she looked up at Hardy.

Hardy didn't look at Margaret, and waved at the middle-aged man.

It's too troublesome. There is really no need to make such a big fight for a port. Let's borrow the port of Singapore for now, and wait until it is completely stable there. But write down this plan first. You should pay attention to the situation over there. Report the latest tension to me as soon as possible. Hardy said.

The two middle-aged men nodded immediately, then took their leave and left.

After the two left, Hardy continued to eat and put a piece of meat into his mouth, but Margaret had an idea, looked at Hardy and said, Hadi, why do you think the situation in Malaya is unstable? , there will be changes in the future.”

Now Malaya is still a colony of the British Empire, as the princess of the empire, she naturally does not want to hear Hadi say this.

Hadi looked at Margaret, and then smiled, If you paid more attention to the situation in Malaya, you wouldn't ask this question. I dare say that sooner or later, Malaya will become independent like India.

Had lunch.

They didn't go out to play right away. It's still early. The time when Las Vegas starts to be active should be from evening to early morning, and night is the soul time of Las Vegas.

Margaret returned to the room, called the steward of the regiment, and asked him if he knew the situation in Malaya. The steward was a diplomat, and he did know a lot about the situation in Malaya. After listening to the introduction, Margaret Only then did Ritter know that Malaya is not at peace now, and indeed, as Hardy said, it may not be long before it becomes independent.

This girl's little thoughts turned quickly.

Finally, let the steward send a telegram to the British side.

Sister, during the contact with Hadi, a shipping company under Hadi proposed that Hadi Shipping establish its own port in Malaya. Hadi is optimistic about Singapore, Penang, and Malacca, but he said that he will wait for stability before building.

His subordinates proposed to buy a piece of land like buying Cayman. Hadi did not directly reject it. He only said that it depends on the situation. It seems that Hadi really intends to buy the territory of Malaya. Now that the government lacks loans to buy the expected national debt, it is better to take these The land was sold to Hadi in exchange for the funds we needed.

The telegram quickly reached England.

After receiving the telegram, Princess Elizabeth did not suspect that it was Hadi's conspiracy, because Hadi is already the governor of Cayman. His land is only one million square kilometers in Australia, including small Singapore and Penang. , Malacca and the three colonies, there is no need for Hadi to use means.

Princess Elizabeth, sees what Hardy needs.

If he really wants those places, it’s not impossible to sell them to him. There are a lot of troubles there now, and they may be lost in the future. If they can be exchanged for money now, it will definitely be a good thing for Britain. As for the remaining troubles, it will take haha Governor Di took care of it himself.

certainly,

Selling the colony must be decided by the government. Princess Elizabeth immediately contacted the prime minister and asked the prime minister to come and discuss.

The Prime Minister came to Buckingham Palace, and after reading Princess Margaret's telegram, he did not suspect that Hadi wanted to seize the colonies. Cayman was sold to him, so the three places in Malaya were nothing.

Your Highness, do you think that Hardy will buy it? After all, the situation over there is unstable, and no one can know where it will go in the future. Maybe Hardy's money will be wasted. The prime minister said.

Princess Elizabeth shook her head.

I am more concerned about the impact of the overdue national debt on the British economy. Once the overdue British pound's reputation in the International Monetary Fund will drop by several levels, we will need to make great sacrifices to make up for it.

Hadi has the funds we need, and the Malaya colony can be sold to him in exchange for a long-term loan from Hadi. He is already the governor of Cayman, and there is no harm in adding a governor of Singapore, right?

The prime minister has been worrying about the funds for a while. After knowing that the United States will not borrow money the day before yesterday, he has been thinking hard about the countermeasures for two days, but he still hasn't come up with it.

Your Highness, in my opinion, keep Singapore, so that we can keep our control over Malaya.

In the British colonization of Malaya, the earliest colony was Singapore. It was also occupied here for the convenience of navigation. The current Governor's Mansion is in Singapore.

Penang and Malacca can be given to him, the conditions are the same as Cayman, and full autonomy will be implemented, so that he will have security guarantees for the construction of the seaport. As for the funds, I hope to exchange for a 10-year low-interest loan of US$500 million. The prime minister expressed his attitude .

If you have 500 million US dollars in your hands, not only can you overcome the overdue national debt crisis, but you can also use some of the remaining funds for domestic development.

500 million, isn't it a bit expensive, will he agree?

Try it.

Okay, I'll send a telegram to Margaret and ask her to communicate with Hardy to see if Hardy is willing to accept the deal.
