Chapter 362 Yi Jin is pregnant
The spring sunshine sprinkled on the two of them, feeling warm and comfortable. Hardy looked at the girl who was still sleeping in his arms. Her skin was tender and pink, her eyelashes were long and thick, and there was a layer of fine fluff on her temples.
An eighteen-year-old girl is at the most charming age in her life.
In the past, people often said on the Internet that women are the most beautiful at the age of 30, but forget it.
Eighteen is the age when flowers are just blossoming, with their stamens half-open. At thirty, they may still be blooming brilliantly, but they can no longer hide the fact that they are on the decline.
The little girl is tired,
He no longer had the fighting spirit he had last night.
I guess I need to sleep for a while.
Hardy got up, took a shower and went to the gym. After exercising for an hour, he washed off the sweat and had breakfast. It was past ten o'clock when Taylor woke up slowly. He looked at the layout of the room and realized that this was Hardy's bedroom.
Underneath him was Hardy's big bed.
She was naked.
Immediately thinking of the madness of last night, Taylor couldn't help but indulge in it again. That feeling yesterday was so beautiful!
She had heard her peers talk about sex, but only by experiencing it for herself could she know what it felt like.
Taylor came out in her pajamas and saw Hardy looking at something in the living room. She blinked her big eyes and asked, "Hady, didn't you go to work?"
Hardy put down the documents and came to Taylor, hugged the girl and kissed her, "I'm not going anywhere today. I'm here to accompany you."
"Great." Taylor was very happy.
She was about to take a shower as she had sweated a lot last night. Hardy took her hand and walked into the bathroom. Soon, Taylor's singing could be heard in the bathroom again.
Hardy really didn't want to do anything.
He just wanted to turn on the faucet for Taylor, but he didn't expect the girl to get addicted and kiss Hardy actively. How could Hardy refuse a girl's courtship?
That will make her feel that you don't love her and she will be very sad.
......
A few days after Taylor's birthday, Hardy said goodbye to the women and prepared to return to Japan on a private plane. However, before going to Japan, Hardy planned to inspect the Malaya base first and had notified the base manager in advance.
And this time he didn't go alone, Hardy also called Lanster and Henry.
To be honest,
Hadi has already developed covetousness for Malaya. No matter whether he can succeed or not, he will give it a try. What if he succeeds?
Once successful, the profits to be gained cannot be compared with earning hundreds of millions of dollars or opening a few companies. The information he has been reading in the past few days is all the information about Malaya collected by Henry, including the current British Governor-General stationed in Malaya, the power of the Sultan in Malaya, the situation of the Chinese, various political parties and power struggles, etc.
Gained a general understanding of Malaya.
Malaya was colonized by Portugal, the Netherlands and Britain respectively. After World War II, the Japanese drove away the British and occupied Malaya. After Japan was defeated in World War II, the British returned and re-colonized Malaya.
But after World War II, anti-colonial movements were on the rise around the world, with demands for independence. Malaya was also involved, but it was always suppressed by the British. One important reason for this was that most of Malaya's territory was under the rule of the Sultan, which was equivalent to having more than a dozen countries here that were not united.
At that time, Singapore was the capital of British-ruled Malaya, and the Governor's Palace was located in Singapore.
In 1946, the British proposed to establish a democratically elected federal state, but the Malays disagreed. They believed that it weakened the Sultan's ruling power. They were the Sultan and the King, so this was tantamount to handing over power.
In the end, the matter was left unresolved.
Malaya today is still a fragmented country with more than a dozen sultans ruling their respective territories. Penang and Malacca have no sultans and, like Singapore, are under British colonial rule. That is why HD Security was able to successfully purchase the land from the British.
It is precisely because these places were ruled by the British that there are so many Chinese in Singapore, Penang and Malacca. This is because the Malays have always been very exclusive to the Chinese. In addition, the Sultans have special rights in their territories, and the Chinese are unwilling to be ruled by them.
So there is a large concentration of Chinese people here.
Later, Singapore wanted to join the Federation of Malaya. Before joining, Malayans had the numerical advantage. Once Singapore joined, the proportion of Chinese immediately increased significantly, so Singapore was later kicked out of the Federation of Malaya.
It can be said that Singapore became an independent country out of helplessness.
This also shows that most Chinese are concentrated in three places: Singapore, Penang and Malacca.
The plane landed at Singapore Airport.
Before coming here, I had already informed the person in charge in Singapore and also informed the managers in Singapore.
Hardy's identity is not ordinary. He is not only a wealthy American, but also the British Baron and Governor of Cayman.
After the plane landed, the head of HD Defense's Singapore base came to pick him up, and the secretary of the British Governor of Malaya also greeted him at the airport.
The secretary greeted Hardy respectfully when he saw him. "Baron Hardy, I am here to greet Mr. Hardy on behalf of Governor Mountbatten. If you need anything, please don't hesitate to ask. The Governor said we are willing to provide all the help we can."
Hardy smiled and said, "Thank you, Governor Mountbatten. You have provided us with great help in establishing a base here."
"The Governor said you are welcome to visit at any time," said the secretary.
"Please convey my gratitude to His Excellency Governor-General Mountbatten. I will pay him a formal visit at an appropriate time. Thank you, Mr. Secretary, for coming to the airport to greet me."
Hadi has no plans to meet the Governor yet.
The secretary respectfully said goodbye, and Hadi and the base manager came to the Singapore base. The base is close to the sea, and there is a small port outside. The base's frigates, patrol ships and patrol speedboats are all docked here.
The entire base covers an area of approximately 5,000 acres, and has built military barracks, canteens, training grounds, oil depots, material warehouses and other facilities.
Now the defense company has taken over the task of protecting ships and cooperated with major shipping companies, and patrol ships set sail every day.
When the defense company was first established and started the escort business, other shipping companies except Hadi's shipping company did not pay attention to it. However, after several consecutive robberies, these shipping companies suffered heavy losses.
However, the ships of Hardy Shipping were always safe and stable. Once, they were targeted by pirates. The escort ship rushed to rescue them and used the ship's guns to blow the pirate ship into pieces. The ship soon sank to the bottom of the sea. After this incident, those shipping companies came to ask for cooperation.
The manufacturing industries in Japan and Hong Kong have been booming recently, and the number of ships traveling between the United States and Europe has increased dramatically every day. Now, the income from escort missions alone is enough for defense companies to maintain their bases and have a surplus.
Hardy doesn't care about the money he makes here. All the money is used for reinvestment to increase the construction and combat effectiveness of the base.
HD Defence currently has a base in Singapore with a total of one frigate, two 600-ton patrol ships, 10 50-ton torpedo boats, 300 crew members on the boats, more than 200 marines, and personnel at the logistics base, totaling more than 700 people.
It’s similar in Penang, with about 600 to 700 people.
HD Intelligence Company also has a branch in Malaya. In the base conference room, Hardy, Lanster and Henry met with the head of the intelligence group and asked a lot of questions about the situation in Malaya.
Malaya includes Negeri Sembilan, Selangor, Perlis, Terengganu, Kedah, Kelantan, Pahang, Johor, Perak, Penang, Malacca, Singapore, Sarawak, and Pasir Panjang.
Equivalent to individual states.
Some states are ruled by sultans, and intelligence personnel introduced the situation of the sultans in each state. Hadi's descendants once took a boat to the sea. When passing through the Strait of Malacca, a friend introduced him to a strange place in Malaysia, saying that there is a strange place in this country, which has 9 kings.
Hardy was surprised when he heard it.
Malaysia's political system is a parliamentary constitutional monarchy. The leader of the country is the prime minister, which is similar to the United Kingdom. The nine kings take turns to be the country's commander-in-chief, and each serves a term of five years. It really lives up to the saying that the emperor takes turns to be my emperor.
Of course,
If Brunei had joined Malaysia at the beginning, it is estimated that 10 kings would have taken turns to be the king. However, Brunei later chose not to join and became an independent country.
From this information, Hardy could think of many questions.
That is to say, when Malaya gained independence and established a federal government in the later period, its coercive power was actually very weak. If a piece of land had been acquired during this period, it would have been possible to gain independence and establish a country again in the future.
What place is suitable?
He thinks Penang is pretty good.
Penang is located in the middle of the Strait of Malacca, with a very advantageous geographical location. It also has a natural deep-water port and later became a famous port area.
Another point is that Penang has always been under British rule. There is no Sultan here. After joining the Federation of Malaysia, the issue of Sultan's jurisdiction is no longer involved. The governor is appointed directly by the government and does not need the Sultan's consent to take office.
This means that there is no dispute with other sultans involved.
The problem is,
How can we take Penang?
Hardy then took Lanster and Henry on a frigate to Penang to check out the base there. The construction situation of the Penang base was similar.
Hadi made a special trip to the city of Penang and found that the streets here were simply a replica of Hong Kong. The shops on both sides of the street all had Chinese signs and the conversations he heard were all in Cantonese and Teochew.
Return to Singapore.
Hardy ordered Lanster to continue to strengthen the construction of the defense company and the newly purchased four Fryderyk-class destroyers, recruit crews as soon as possible, and then send two to Malaya, one each to Penang and Singapore bases.
The remaining two are located in the Cayman Islands.
"Also, I think the bases here should have an air force. We don't need a big airport, just one that can take off and land transport planes. In the future, each base here will have 10 aircraft of various types and recruit a group of fighter pilots."
The flexibility and maneuverability of aircraft cannot be compared with that of battleships.
He then said to Henry: "The intelligence department should increase its attention to Malaya and collect as much intelligence as possible, including the strength of the sultans and the situation of the rebels."
"The Chinese here found me in Hong Kong and hoped that I could help them fight for their rights. I have asked Wick to contact them. You should also pay attention to this matter later."
Henry nodded in understanding.
Hardy continued to fly to Japan, while Lanster and Henry took a passenger plane back to the United States. Hardy's plane landed at Haneda Airport. The assistants and security company personnel who stayed there came to pick him up, and Hardy returned to the manor in Tokyo.
As soon as I entered the room and hadn't taken off my clothes yet, the assistant took a telegram and said, "Boss, this is a telegram from Hong Kong. It came yesterday."
"I contacted the US yesterday and they said you were on the way, so I'll wait for you to come over before giving it to you."
Hardy opened the telegram. There were only a few words on it, but when he saw these words, he felt as if his heart was hit by a thousand-pound copper pillar.
This telegram was sent by Han Ye-jin and only had seven words.
"Yejin is pregnant, let her husband know."
