Hardy Empire 1945

After the battleship and security company personnel arrived in Penang and Malacca, Hadi notified the local managers that they were going to take over the two places.

Originally, Penang and Malacca were under the direct jurisdiction of the Governor of Singapore. There were only a dozen British managers, and the rest were local officials and staff.

In the past two days, a wave of people came to take over their jobs. The British managers were evacuated, and the local staff stayed at their jobs temporarily.

These people were all sent by Hardy.

At the same time, security companies have also taken over the management of local law and order.

There were no disturbances during the whole handover process. The warships moored in the port, as well as the American soldiers in black uniforms, carrying submachine guns, and patrolling the streets in cars, formed a sufficient deterrent to the locals.

Originally, Hadi had a military base in Penang, but at that time he did not go ashore, but only operated in the base, responsible for combating pirates and safety of routes, and collecting tolls from shipping companies.

Now these soldiers have become city security guards, but they are no strangers to this situation, because HD security has always maintained city security in the United States, and they are familiar with it.

people on the street,

At the beginning, I looked at these American soldiers with slight fear and guard in my eyes, not knowing what would happen next.

But they gradually discovered that these people would not affect the lives of the people, and gradually people let down their guard.

Security companies have strict rules not to harass civilians, much stricter than American soldiers.

certainly,

Their wages are also high.

The average salary of ordinary security personnel is about 300 to 400 US dollars. If they go on missions, there are bonuses, free board and lodging, and the food and accommodation conditions are not bad. Insurance.

Such wages and benefits, even for Americans today, are already considered very high treatment.

The current American soldiers, such as those who participated in the Korean War, have a monthly allowance of more than 50 US dollars for grassroots soldiers.

These people are really going to fight desperately on the battlefield.

And in HD Security,

In fact, there are very few dangerous situations, and it is much safer than on the battlefield. If someone really troubles them, it will destroy their jobs, and they will definitely risk their lives to keep their high salaries.

Earn a bonus by the way.

In the past half a month, a large cruise ship sailed from Hong Kong to Singapore. After arriving in Singapore, a destroyer, a frigate, two escort boats and four warships in the Singapore base jointly escorted the ship.

Arrive in Penang together.

Penang in June.

Flowers bloom everywhere.

The tall circular palm tree is ten stories high and extremely strong.

On the port pier, tens of thousands of people gathered here at this time, holding flowers in their hands, and they were waiting to welcome their new governor.

Wooooow!

With a loud siren sound.

A fleet of ships sailed in the distance.

The other four warships moored at the port also sounded their whistles to respond at this moment.

Eight battleships.

Even the United Kingdom does not have such a strong military force in Malaya today.

The yacht moored slowly in the port.

The soldiers at the port lined up on both sides, and the officials who came earlier stood at the pier waiting for Hardy to disembark.

Ladder down.

Hardy and Han Yezhen walked off the boat together, cheers erupted from the pier, and the camera captured this precious scene.

Hardy is here this time,

I specially brought Han Ye Jin,

He just wants people to see that his woman is Chinese, so that the local Chinese can feel more at ease.

His strategy has indeed had a great effect. Many Chinese gentry, businessmen, officials and ordinary Chinese people who came to greet him felt much more cordial when they saw that Hardy's wife was Chinese.

at the pier.

Hardy took the stage to speak.

The last time he met with Pan Xingchen and Tong Jiayuan, what he said was a private exchange. This time, he made a public statement. Hadi's statement is very important to Penang and Malacca.

In the future, Penang and Malacca will adhere to the principle of equality for all, and everyone can obtain territorial citizenship rights.

The dominion implements the British legal system, protects private property, preserves national customs, and guarantees freedom of belief.

The official language is English, but learning Chinese, Malay, Indian and other languages ​​is not prohibited. The schools opened can have bilingual or even multilingual teaching.

In the future, Penang and Malacca will vigorously develop their economies. The financial industry, manufacturing industry, electronics industry, processing industry, pharmaceutical industry, jewelry industry, shipping industry, foreign trade, etc., are all the focus of development.

Penang and Malacca, there will be a lot of jobs, immigrants are welcome.

In Penang and Malacca, branches of Wells Fargo and HSBC will be established, and branches of Hadi Group will be established. Investors are welcome in the autonomous territories, and people are welcome to settle in the autonomous territories. HD Security, the world's largest security company, can guarantee settlement the safety of the person and property of the victim.”

In the future, Penang and Malacca will become safe, secure, economically prosperous, with many job opportunities, free and democratic areas.

Many people were very happy when they heard Hardy's words, because no one likes a war-torn environment, precarious, property may be robbed at any time, even if you have great talent, you can't use it.

Only a stable public security and political environment can make the economy prosperous.

There are also many Chinese who think that it is possible for Chinese brothers who have invested in other places to immigrate to Penang or Malacca?

In fact, it is enough to live here and go out to do business, so as to save trouble, you can't even run away.

The speech is over.

Hardy and Han Yejin rode in a convertible and escorted the convoy down the street, receiving cheers from the crowd.

Many people stood on both sides of the street.

Toss the petals to the convoy.

The whole ceremony was very complete, and finally stayed in the best hotel in Penang.

Hardy's Governor's Mansion has not been built yet, so he can only live here temporarily. Although he will not be here permanently in the future, he still needs a Governor's Mansion.

The receiving ceremony is over.

Hardy's speech was immediately published in newspapers in Southeast Asia, but within a day, people throughout Malaya knew that Baron Hardy had taken over Penang and Malacca.

And know the content of his speech.

Now in Malaya, since the implementation of the Malay privilege policy, many Chinese have been bullied, their businesses have been affected, government officials have suppressed them, and life has become increasingly difficult.

Seeing the changes in Penang and Malacca now, I feel that these places will become more stable in the future, and many people have the idea of ​​emigrating.

the next day,

Hadi met representatives of gentry and business groups in Penang and Malacca, including Pan Xingchen and Tong Jiayuan, as well as Malays and Indians.

at the meeting,

The policy of the Dominion was reiterated again, and it was decided to form a parliament in the near future.

the third day,

Hadi issued the first Governor-General of the Dominion of Penang and Malacca, appointing Peter Smith as the Chief Minister of the Dominion, equivalent to the Prime Minister.

James Ryan was appointed Treasurer to the Governor, equivalent to Treasurer.

Appoint Joe McCarthy as Attorney General.

Appoints Thomas Jefferson as Chief of Police.

Appoint Anthony Eden as Minister of Tourism, Transport and Works.

Appoints Richard Coles as Minister of Agriculture, Communications, Works and Natural Resources.

Pan Xingchen was appointed Minister of Culture, Immigration and Sports.

Appoints Truman Bowdoin as Secretary of Education, Aviation and Planning.

Appoint Tong Jiayuan as Minister of Health, Social Welfare, Anti-Drugs and Rehabilitation.

Two Chinese entered the ranks of government ministers, which made the hearts of the majority of Chinese more stable. After this news was reported in the newspapers, it strengthened the idea of ​​many Chinese wanting to emigrate to Penang and Malacca.

The Chinese are very smart and hardworking. They have a high average education level and are generally relatively wealthy. Many Chinese have been running business in Malaya for decades or even a hundred years. Gardens, spice gardens and farms, in addition to the British industry, belong to the Chinese industry with the largest number of industries.

After the British implemented the privilege policy, many Chinese felt that the Malays looked at them more and more wrongly, and Malayan officials began to deliberately make trouble.

Some businesses run by Chinese have been punished for no reason, and even forced to raise taxes and pay various apportionments, just to make you unable to operate, and then leave by yourself, so that they can occupy the Chinese industry.

Robbery,

Not uncommon at any time.

What's more, there are disputes between ethnic groups and beliefs.

In the past, these entrepreneurs and farmers also cultivated many talents who have studied abroad in their families, and they are not the kind of ignorant local rich people.

Many people had contacted Pan Xingchen and Tong Jiayuan before. Many people wrote letters one after another, and even came to learn about the situation in the Dominion in person.

The Huang family has lived in Johor for more than 100 years. The owner, Huang Henian, is in his 50s and studied in the UK for three years. Now the family mainly operates plantations and processing factories, growing rice, pepper, cocoa, tobacco, spices, etc.

There are also huge rubber forests with a planting area of ​​more than 10,000 hectares.

At the same time, processing factories have also been set up, including flour processing, rice processing, tobacco rough processing, and spice processing factories.

these years,

Malaya has been in turmoil,

The Dutch, the British, the Japanese, and then the British, even so, the Huang family relied on hard work to develop the family step by step.

But in recent years,

After the British announced the recognition of the privileges of the Malays, those Malays began to find things to exploit, even if he had a certain strength, he could not be disturbed.

And Huang Henian feels,

go on like this for a long time,

Those people are afraid that their appetites will become bigger and bigger, and their desires will be hard to satisfy. If they are not satisfied with their current interests, they will ruthlessly attack them and directly rob them of their property.

Hadi became the governor of Penang and Malacca. This incident has attracted great attention in Malaya, and Huang Henian is naturally one of them.

Recently,

Newspapers often publish speeches about Hadi, such as the policies of the Dominion, future development plans and so on.

Recently announced the investment promotion plan.

The taxes in Penang and Malacca are very low, and there are a series of incentive policies to attract others to invest in the Dominion.

And it is also planned to build Wells Fargo and HSBC here, so that the flow of funds in the future will become very convenient, especially for doing business with the United States and Europe.

There is also the point of safety.

Recently, he has always felt that the Malayan territory is becoming more and more insecure. In order to protect the family, he intends to move the family out. As for the plantations and factories, it is good to continue to send people to manage them. past.

The Hadi Group is planning to set up branch companies in Penang and the Dominion of Malaya, which involves a number of industries, and there is one industry that arouses Huang Henian's idea.

Hardy Investment Company is willing to cooperate with all companies in Southeast Asia. The first is to provide financial support, the second is to provide technical support, the third is to provide channel support, and the fourth is to provide security.

Huang Henian had known the Governor Hadi before.

In the U.S,

Possesses enormous energy.

If you can rely on him, it will be a great guarantee for your own property, but you don't know what conditions the other party will offer.

However, Huang Henian believes in Western economic cooperation more than the Malays' plundering. Even if he gives some benefits, it is for common development, not for others to rob you with a knife around your neck.

He decided to go to Malacca to have a look.

If it really stabilizes there, he plans to buy property in Malacca and send the elderly, children and women to settle there.

Then talk to the other party about the cooperation.
