After Charles left, Liu Yiming clenched his fists.

"The British are too greedy..." Liu Yiming only spoke in a voice that he could hear.

Just now Liu Yiming was testing the attitude of the British. Although Sumatra is sensitive, it is not that important to the British. On the contrary, because of the existence of the Straits Settlements, it completely controls the Strait of Malacca.

What Liu Yiming wanted to know was whether the British supported Liu Yiming's continued attack on Kalimantan, Spice Islands, Irian Island and other islands after Java.

Judging from Charles's attitude, it was not very ideal, especially towards Sumatra. Charles's attitude was very tough. Liu Yiming had no choice but to put aside the dispute, but Britain would not waste time and effort in occupying Sumatra.

At this time, the British Empire was becoming stronger and stronger. It was already an empire on which the sun never set, with a land area of ​​more than 30 million square kilometers, an extremely vast territorial sea, and the most powerful navy.

In a few years, the British Empire will officially usher in its most powerful moment. In 1897, during Queen Victoria's Ship Review, the powerful navy overwhelmed other navies in the world.

But it also leaves Britain, with only tens of millions of people, without the energy to manage more land.

However, Charles left a gap in what he said at the end. As long as the Java War is victorious, he can negotiate with the British.

"It's really not possible. During the Boer War, don't blame me for being cruel!" Liu Yiming said viciously.

………………

The island of Java fell into an eerie calm, but that was not the case in Europe.

In the Royal Palace of the Netherlands, Queen Wilhelmina ignored the royal dignity and asked the cabinet rudely.

"Dear Prime Minister, please tell me what happened in East India!"

"My beloved Queen, there is no need to panic. There is just a small rebellion in East India. The heroic army will solve this trouble soon!" the Prime Minister said with a puffy belly.

"Well, I hope you hurry up, the Netherlands has become a joke!" Queen Wilhelmina said as she put a pile of newspapers on the table and turned to leave.

"So, what's going on? Why is there no news at all? Where did this Nanhua come from! And damn, why did two governors fall into their hands? Why?" After the queen left,

The Prime Minister snarled at the Cabinet.

Unfortunately, it was quiet down there.

"Colonial Secretary, this is your profession, please tell me." When no one spoke, the Prime Minister named the Colonial Secretary.

"Prime Minister, during this period, Governor Cornelis of the Pinac family has been managing East India, and he has been managing it very well. Then the new Governor and the old Governor took over, and something like this happened. I didn't know about it.

Details!" The Colonial Secretary was an old aristocrat who was about to retire and was not worried about this matter.

"Snake, do you want to push yourself clean?" the Chancellor of the Exchequer said to the Colonial Secretary.

"Don't be slanderous!" Colonial Secretary Snake retorted.

The cabinet suddenly started to quarrel with the two people as the centerpiece.

"That's enough! Stop arguing and settle this matter first, otherwise everyone will have to wait for the verdict!" The Prime Minister couldn't bear it.

"The local troops lack training, equipment, and personnel, and their transfer will leave a void in the local area," said the Minister of Defense.
