Hardy Empire 1945

Hadi sat down and chatted with a group of think tanks. Regarding the future direction of Malaya, their opinions were relatively unified, and they would definitely become independent, and Britain could no longer stop it.

But how to be independent, what changes in the middle, and what benefits Hardy can get from it, these are the things they study.

These researchers feel that the possibility of merging Singapore and the Dominion of Penang is completely feasible. The situation in Singapore is exactly the same as that of Penang and Malacca, which belong to the Dominion. As for the method?

A social analysis expert looked at Hardy and said, Mr. Hardy, I have a proposal. Princess Margaret will give birth soon, right?

Hardy nodded, It's been six months, and the baby will be born in three more months.

Do you think it is possible to work it out so that the United Kingdom can bestow Singapore on your future children?

Hardy's eyes lit up.

That's a good idea.

As for the response to military conflict with Indonesia, it is actually because of the lessons learned by Johor.

Hadi Investment Company absorbed a large number of Chinese assets in Malaya. Later, a conflict with Johor occurred and the Sultan of Johor was destroyed.

And half a year ago.

Hadi began to deploy in Indonesia, allowing investment companies to enter the Indonesian market and carry out acquisition activities. If Hadi does this, it will inevitably cause conflicts with Indonesia in the future, so these people are asked to study how to deal with conflicts with Indonesia.

First let’s talk about whether Hadi will have a conflict with Indonesia.

definitely will.

Whether it is a conflict of interest or dislike, when Hadi entered Indonesia, he had the idea of ​​provoking trouble in his heart.

Take the initiative to lean over.

Use the economy to create friction.

It can be regarded as the routine of the Sultan of Johor.

Some people will say that Indonesia is not Johor, which can be manipulated by Hadi at will. After independence, Indonesia has an area of ​​1.9 million square kilometers and a population of hundreds of millions. It is a proper big country.

Hardy's strength is simply not enough for such a big country.

But Hardy wasn't really afraid of him.

Just want to touch him.

 …

half year ago

Hardy Company entered the Indonesian market through formal channels and started a number of investment companies in Indonesia. At this time, Indonesia and the United States established diplomatic relations and were still in a relatively friendly state. Indonesia pursued an independent foreign policy. Although it was pro-Soviet, it did not intend to fully attach itself.

In short, it's a bit of a double-edged taste.

In fact, this is the normal state of weak countries, and it cannot be wrong.

Diplomacy is nothing more than three states. One is like the United States and the Soviet Union, where you are the boss, looking at the world but me, and gather a bunch of younger brothers around you.

The second is to be willing to be the younger brother, some because of geography, some because of politics, and belong to the two big brothers.

The third type is to have both ways, want to maintain their own independent personality, and use vertical and horizontal techniques to shuttle back and forth between the complicated international situations. There are many of them.

At this time, Indonesia is very welcome to foreign investment. Indonesia has just established a new state and is basically still in a clean stage. Naturally, it is hoped that foreigners can invest.

Most of the real rich people in Indonesia are Chinese. After the initial period of stability, the Indonesian government began to implement a policy of suppressing Chinese. The then Minister of Finance made it clear in his speech that Chinese only accounted for 5% of the total population of Indonesia. , but owns 70% of Indonesian assets. In this case, this situation must be changed.

Subsequently, the government introduced a series of policies to squeeze Chinese capital. For example, the rice milling industry can only be operated by Indonesians, resulting in the closure of a large number of Chinese rice milling factories, which were then taken away by Indonesians at low prices.

It also stipulates that all major shareholders of enterprises must be Indonesians, and Chinese can only be minority shareholders.

When Hadi Investment Company came over, these Chinese-funded enterprises have another way, which is to join Hadi Investment Company and become a foreign-funded joint venture. Foreign-funded joint ventures are legal in Indonesia, so that Indonesians cannot steal.

Moreover, Hadi is not giving nothing at all, and will provide resources and channels to allow these enterprises to enter the Hadi economic circle.

Circles are very important.

Even if it is a large American consortium,

They will create a business circle, not to mention that these small Southeast Asian companies, entering the big circle of Hardy, immediately give them a feeling of jumping from the muddy pond to the big river, free and carefree.

Hardy Investment Company also encourages these people to set up their company headquarters in the Hadi Dominion, or in Cayman, or even in the United Kingdom or the United States.

It's so convenient to cooperate.

As for the local area, only the operating offices are left.

At first, the Indonesian government didn't pay much attention to it, but after discovering the problem, the Hadi Group has acquired a large number of companies, and all procedures are completely reasonable and legal.

National law does not stipulate that Chinese cannot sell assets to foreigners.

But seeing a large amount of wealth originally belonging to them flow into the pockets of foreigners makes Indonesians very annoyed. Recently, the Indonesian government is discussing and preparing to formulate new policies to limit or even cut off this situation.

They have completely regarded the assets of the Chinese as their own wealth, and used all means to rob them, and now they are flowing into Hardy's pocket. How can they suffer? They plan to use state power to stop it.

The intelligence agency has already deployed personnel in Indonesia, and has a clear grasp of the actions of the Indonesian government.

As soon as someone made a restriction proposal, Hardy received a letter.

at the same time,

The Hadi Group spread this information among the Chinese. After the Chinese heard about it, those who were still hesitant have stepped up to join the Hadi Investment Company during this time.

There was no road before.

People can only recognize their heads being plundered by villains.

Now there is a bright road ahead, and a group of hungry wolves behind, people naturally know how to choose.

Definitely run towards the bright road.

Even many people,

During this period of time, the families were moved to the Hadi Dominion, causing the population of Penang and Malacca to increase again.

 …

Colonel James, a former senior staff officer of the US military and an expert on conflict issues, felt that the Indonesian issue was the most likely point of conflict in the near future.

Tell me in detail, Hardy said.

Colonel James took out a plate, wrote a few names on it, and said: If the Indonesian government issues a restriction order, or even robs property companies later, it will affect the interests of the Hadi Group. This is unacceptable to the Hadi Group.

The Hadi Group can protest to the Indonesian government, but the Indonesian government may not agree, so what should we do? We will publicize Indonesia's behavior of destroying the economy and violating the agreement to the international community.

It's a campaign to make people sympathize with us, and when we do it later, people will understand why we did that.

Then there is the intimidation of force, but Indonesia's military strength is not weak. It has an air force, an army, and a navy. The army has about 150,000 people, the air force has more than 100 aircraft, and the navy has 8 ships...

We can create a little friction, or a small-scale battle, and then use this excuse to seek assistance from the US government and the British government. The assistance includes arms assistance and political assistance, and takes the opportunity to develop the Dominion's armed forces.

As for the real conflict with Indonesia, try to control it after one and a half years. After all, we are still in the early stage of construction. By then, we will be fully prepared and formulate strategies in advance, which can deal a fatal blow to the Indonesian army.

 …

Recently, HD Defense Company has started large-scale conscription in the Hadi Dominion, which has aroused great concern from the surrounding neighbors.

The Sultan of Malaya became somewhat alarmed.

Before the Hadi Dominion had conscription, they were no opponents. Now that they are recruiting on a large scale, their strength will be stronger. If they attack them in the future, they will have no ability to resist.

There is another reason.

They are still a British colony in name, and now they are pursuing independence, but they have not succeeded. Now such a powerful armed force suddenly appeared here, and Hardy is also the husband of the princess of the British Empire.

How can this make people not worry.

Those who are more concerned about the Hadi Dominion also include Indonesia, which is very close to each other, but they are only concerned.

At this time, Indonesia has become independent, with a land area of ​​1.9 million square kilometers, a population of over 100 million, and political unity. It is a proper big country.

At least they think so.

 …

The Hadi Dominion is recruiting, training,

Build new air bases and naval bases.

The military strength of the Hadi Dominion increased dramatically.

at the same time,

Many factories and enterprises began to rise from the ground, machines were shipped from the United States and Japan one after another, workers entered the factory with raw materials, and large-scale production began.

The entire Hadi Dominion became alive.

 …

Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, in mid-March, Hardy returned to Cayman. At this time, Margaret was already pregnant, and it was estimated that she would give birth in two or three weeks.

America or England? Hardy asked Margaret.

I miss my sister, Margaret said.

Then go to England. Hardy decided immediately.

After packing everything up, the plane flew to the UK. Queen Elizabeth was very happy that her sister had returned to give birth. She was going to arrange for her royal gynecologist to deliver Margaret at St. Mary's Hospital in Paddington, London.

St. Mary's Hospital is famous because almost all the main members of the royal family were born here, including Prince Charles and Princess Anne in 70 years.

The two children of Diana in later generations were also born in this hospital.

Speaking of the 70-year-old Prince Charles, he is standing not far away at this moment. Prince Charles is six and a half years old this year and has become a young lady.

As for Princess Anne, who is three and a half years old this year, she is much more lively, and she is touching Margaret's belly curiously at the moment.

Is there a baby in here?

Princess Anne has a cute voice.

Yes Annie, do you think it's a younger brother or a younger sister? Margaret asked her niece Anne with a smile.

I like little sister. Annie said.

She hopes to have a little sister who can play with her.

I brought you a lot of presents, and they have been placed in your own rooms. I hope you like them. Margaret said.

Thank you, Auntie.

The two little guys thanked each other.

The gift was arranged by your uncle. Margaret looked at Hardy.

The two little guys thanked Hardy again,

Thank you uncle.

Hardy smiled and touched the heads of the two little guys. It was not easy. Queen Elizabeth asked the two little guys to leave, so they could talk about other topics.

After three months of separation, Princess Elizabeth obviously felt that Margaret was much calmer than before. Perhaps this is the change that marriage brought to her.

The two little ones returned to their room. Charles's gift was the battleship series produced by Hardy Toys Company. It was very exquisite and of course expensive.

Princess Anne got a whole set of Barbie dolls. Girls naturally want to play with girls' toys. Now there are six princesses in the whole set of Barbie dolls, and the latest addition is the special edition of Princess Margaret.

two weeks later.

St. Mary's Hospital.

After more than an hour of fighting, Margaret gave birth to a healthy baby boy, much to Annie's disappointment.

Margaret was delighted.

On the second day after giving birth, they moved back to live in their castle.

Looking at the little guy who kept scratching his hands and feet, Margaret said to Hardy in disbelief, Oh my God, it's incredible that I gave birth to a human being.

Hardy frowned.

The next two days discussed what the child's name should be. Hardy named the child David. David Hardy, Margaret liked the name very much.

half a month later,

Members of the British royal family held a birthday reception for David Hardy to celebrate the birth of the fifth heir to the British royal family.

yes,

Don't look at this little guy whose surname is Hardy, but he has the right to inherit the British royal family.

According to the British aristocratic inheritance law, the primogeniture system is implemented. When George VI was born, his heir was Princess Elizabeth, and the second heir was Princess Margaret.

After Elizabeth came to the throne, her son Charles was the first choice, and Princess Anne was the second choice. If there are children in the future, they will continue to continue.

Princess Margaret, who originally had the second line of succession, has now been postponed to fourth, and his child, David Hardy, is ranked fifth.

certainly,

This is just the current ranking.

In the later period, Queen Elizabeth has two sons, and the ranking will be pushed back. When Charles has a child, his child will be ranked as the eldest son and grandson, and will surpass Princess Anne.

anyway,

Even if it is pushed to 100, now Hadi, the child, also has the right to inherit the throne of the British Empire, which is also a great honor.

certainly,

It's also just an honor.

In Hardy's previous life, Charles was not even ranked first, let alone the others.

At the reception.

Queen Elizabeth adopts David Hardy as godson.

And David Hardy was given the title of Viscount. This kind of situation is generally rare. As Hardy’s son, David will definitely inherit Hardy’s Earl title in the future, so there is no need to bestow the title of Earl. The reason for this is not that simple.

because next,

Queen Elizabeth announced that she would bestow the viscount David Hardy fiefdom on Singapore, and give Singapore the status of Dominion.

When the outside world got the news,

Immediately caused quite a shock, there are still many conjectures.

As one of the few colonies of the United Kingdom today, Malaya has been calling for independence, and the United Kingdom has become irrepressible.

Now suddenly Singapore is bestowed on a newborn royal, especially when the child is named Hadi and his father's Dominion is right next door.

How could this kind of operation not arouse people's speculation.

Many people think this is a conspiracy.

 …

conspiracy.

not count,

But definitely a deal.

After Hardy came to the UK, he did not simply accompany the childbirth. During this period, he and Queen Elizabeth had in-depth exchanges on the situation in Malaya.

He also said some of his own thoughts.

After the two reached some consensus, they communicated with Prime Minister Churchill again, and after three days of discussion, the result was reached.

Hardy Group will invest more than 500 million US dollars in the UK in the next three years, and Hardy can choose the direction of investment.

A few years ago,

The Labor Party's nationalization efforts have greatly impacted private companies in the UK. After Churchill came to power, he stopped most of the nationalization process and gradually implemented privatization.

They need Hardy's investment.

In return for Hardy, his son David Hardy won a title of knighthood alone and bestowed the fiefdom of Singapore.

And privately promised,

Support all operations of Hadi in Southeast Asia.

In fact, this is equivalent to the fact that Britain gave up the Malaya colony and transferred the rights of that area to Hadi. As for how Hadi operates, it depends on his own ability.

Independence is unstoppable,

Then exchange him for something.

Whether Hardy wins or loses after taking over the order is none of the British business.

For this transaction,

Both sides are very satisfied.

The most dissatisfied are naturally the sultans of Malaya, because they have seen a strong danger signal from this incident.

In the past, the British were more gentlemanly and gentle with them, but this Earl Hardy, although he fell asleep with the British princess, was a typical American character in his bones. From what he did in Johor, it can be seen that The means are fierce.

Moreover, the Hadi Dominion has been expanding its military recently.

Is this going to sharpen the knife to the Sudan?
