"F * ck, that's the Song Country's battleship. Is this a war with the Malay Country?”
Some people on the dock who were still unaware of the news looked at the battleships sailing on the horizon in the distance with shock in their eyes.
"That's the Song Country's escort fleet, but do we really need such a large fleet to escort them?”
"Is this the Song fleet that annihilated the pirates? It was no wonder that the Vietnamese navy did not dare to make a move!”
Looking at the merchant ships that entered the port, their eyes were filled with shock. The mute Coast Guard was shocked. They quickly made a call to the Ministry of National Defense and headed for the outer sea of Huanghua Port.
At this time, the members of the Malay Chinese Chamber of Commerce were surging. From time to time, they would send out notices to the wealthy people of Malay. The eyes of the wealthy people who received the notice lit up. They had to find a way to make the Prince of Song stay in Malaysia for a period of time.
At the same time, he also informed his children that if they could build a good relationship with the Prince of Song Kingdom and even become the Prince's Princess Consort, then his family would be able to do whatever they wanted in Southeast Asia.
As the second largest ethnic group, the Malay Chinese controlled the economy of the Malay West. Even among the top ten richest people in the Malay West, the Chinese occupied eight of them.
However, this could not hide the fact that the Chinese had little influence in politics. The politics and military of Malaysia were controlled by the locals. As a group of Chinese with such huge wealth, they were like fat sheep, filled with unwillingness.
Once there were any changes in the country, the Chinese would be the first to be affected. Countless Chinese tycoons had been unable to recover from such changes.
The change in Indonesia had left a lot of blood on the local Chinese. Now, with the rise of China and Song, the locals had become more polite to the Chinese. However, the suppression of the Chinese still existed, but it was hidden in the dark.
Various policies were still deeply unfair to the local Chinese, but now it was obvious that they were loosening up.
In particular, in just over a month, the Song Kingdom had destroyed Country F and occupied a huge piece of land. They supported a small number of Moros to rule Country F, which shocked the Chinese in Malaysia.
There was also the news that they had just received. The Song Kingdom had wiped out the pirates in the waters of the country and confronted the navy of the country. The navy of the country retreated without fighting. This gave the local businessmen a new understanding. Perhaps there would be a greater change in Southeast Asia than during World War II.
The situation of the Chinese in Southeast Asia was much more difficult than that of the Malay people. Although the Malay people had a much better attitude towards the Chinese, they were also deeply guarded and strictly restricted the Chinese from participating in politics and joining the army.
If the Crown Prince came, then with the deterrence of the Song Kingdom, even if he could not participate in politics, it would still be of great benefit to the local Chinese. The premise was that the Prince of the Song Kingdom could come.
……
"Your Highness, the Malay Chinese Chamber of Commerce has prepared a banquet for you in Malaysia. We hope you can attend!”
The captain whispered to the prince with a curious look in his eyes. He did not expect to receive an invitation from a Chinese businessman. He wondered if it would disrupt the prince's plan.
The prince's original plan was to escort the Song Kingdom's merchant ships out of the Strait of Malacca and then head to the throat of the Indian Ocean, Sri Lanka. This was because the Song Kingdom's cargo ships were heading to Europe and Africa. After leaving the Strait of Malacca, Singapore was also a major docking area. For the Song Kingdom, its geographical location was very important.
Then, on the way back, he would visit the west port of the Kela Canal and give a powerful warning to those who tried to oppose him. At the same time, he would observe the progress of the construction of the port.
Zhao Tian's face revealed a thoughtful expression. If there was a country in Southeast Asia that was most likely controlled by the Song Kingdom, it would undoubtedly be the Malay Country.
However, Singapore was completely leaning towards the US. He could not touch it at all now unless he wanted to start a war with the US.
Although he had the system store in terms of military strength and could turn the Song Country into a powerful military country, the Song Country's economy and other aspects would probably drag it down if the battle line was extended.
The war in Southeast Asia after World War II was not due to the Song Kingdom's military strength, but the burden of the Song Kingdom's comprehensive national strength. The Song Kingdom could not make the same mistake as before, otherwise, no country would watch the Song Kingdom develop steadily for decades and make a comeback.
However, there was also a big worry for the Chinese in Malay. The proportion of the Chinese population was constantly decreasing, from about 40% in the 50s to the current 20%.
Many powerful families chose to immigrate with their entire families. Later, they found out that the local Chinese were treated differently in all aspects, especially in terms of education.
No matter how hard you worked, some excellent universities would reserve 70% of the spots for their own race. As for the remaining 30%, the Chinese still had to compete with other ethnic groups.
For the Chinese who valued education, this was obviously intolerable. This also led to the gradual decline of the local Chinese, and this trend was still growing.
However, this was also in line with the thoughts of the Malay rulers. They kept using the method of boiling frogs in warm water to turn the local Chinese into a minority, unlike the riots that directly triggered the Chinese in Indonesia, causing a large number of Chinese to move out in a short period of time, causing the economy to collapse for several years.
"Alright, I'll go to the banquet in my personal capacity tonight! I want all the surrounding countries to see the determination of the Song Country. The Song Country is not to be trifled with. I'll take a private plane to Sri Lanka.”
Zhao Tian pondered for a moment and said. Even if they had a fleet that was enough to intimidate the surrounding countries, they would still have a fleet in Malay. In the eyes of some people, the truth was only within the range of the cannons.
