Chapter 658

At the beginning of April, the secret service formation moved to Chennai port on the east coast of India, where pierce met his ideal partner, director of the 100 business association, director of the dukov chamber of Commerce in Russia, director of the 100 business association, director of the prendet chamber of Commerce in the Netherlands, director of the 100 business association, benozzi chamber of Commerce in France, director of the 100 business association, and assaros chamber of Commerce in Portugal.

The five major chambers of Commerce gathered in Chennai, India. Pierce spent two days telling them the value of Star Island and the feasibility of occupying Star Island.

On April 16, the sacred agreement of the five chambers of Commerce on developing commerce and trade in East India was officially released, and the Star Island interest community was secretly formed.

The hundred business association is a huge business organization, just as old dukov was proud of in waijust. This group of businessmen have strength and influence beyond national boundaries, and the fluke is the twelve Association directors and chambers of commerce at the top.

The director chamber of commerce is the leader of the association. Except that the first session in 1782 was elected by 110 member chambers of commerce at that time, the directors will firmly control the election right of directors in the second session and even in the future.

Only directors can be removed.

The association stipulates that the director chamber of Commerce shall have a lifetime system. The Council meeting shall be held from September to October every three years, and three chambers of Commerce shall be elected as alternate directors for a term of three years.

The proposal to remove directors can only be put forward at the general meeting of directors, which must be approved by half and no objection is allowed.

The vacancy of a director must be filled in the current session, and the alternate director with the highest number of votes shall be elected by the director.

These rules protect the interests of the Association directors and allow the directors' chambers of Commerce to suffer short-term weakness and fluctuations, but at the same time, they also draw a red line for the privileges of the directors. The bankrupt and extremely declining chambers of Commerce will not escape the outcome of the survival of the fittest.

In other words, all chambers of Commerce standing in the position of director are strong and profound. The 12 directors of the hundred business association are all Mega chambers of commerce with millions of assets. They have good relations with each other, and eight of them have Asian routes.

Pierce selected four of the eight countries from four countries. The Netherlands, Portugal and Malacca are closely related. Behind the French and Russian chambers of Commerce, there are powerful countries, which have a voice equivalent to that of Britain in international affairs.

After the establishment of the agreement community, members began to lobby the government as planned to prepare armed forces.

On April 20, the old wine barrel of the brigantin type armed merchant ship belonging to the chamber of Commerce of assaros in Portugal ran aground near the Star Island in the Strait of Malacca, and the sailor NOM aroso disappeared while waiting for rescue.

The asaroth chamber of Commerce used this request to land on the island to find people, which was rightly rejected by the Johor government.

On April 26, the chamber of Commerce of assaros persuaded the Portuguese colonial government to intervene. The Portuguese governor count guadiaro made solemn representations to Johor, asking Johor to open its border and ensure the personal safety of Portuguese sailors.

On May 7, with the support of Portugal, Aceh and Kyrgyzstan defeated Johor, assumed the posture of destroying Johor, and mobilized more than 8000 troops.

Johor raised the national army to meet the enemy and asked his protector, the Dutch East India Company, for help. However, this time, the Dutch did not protect them from the bullying of the Portuguese as before.

The messenger returned empty handed, and the border was filled with flames. Seeing the disaster of destroying the country, the king of Johor could only ask for reinforcements from his brother's country, the thunderbolt Kingdom, which also had a bad life.

On May 19, Perak Kingdom joined the war, and more than 3000 troops rushed to Johor, resulting in a stalemate on the Malay Peninsula.

On the other hand, Eddie landed on Sumatra together with the Asian managers of ordukov and fabenozi chambers of Commerce.

Their aim is to occupy the kingdom of the inferiors. As the most powerful principality on Sumatra island, she faces the Malay Peninsula across the sea and shares the interests of the Malacca Strait.

However, unlike Johor, which was protected by the Dutch, the chambre kingdom was deeply eroded by the colonists. Portugal, the Netherlands and Britain all had sovereignty along the coast of the kingdom. They were also used to the diplomatic method of white ships and artillery.

Probably kneeling for a long time, this time the three chambers of Commerce put on a gentleman's face, but it frightened King Zhan Bei. Eddie achieved his goal without much effort or even money.

On April 22, the Zhanbei trade treaty was signed.

On May 5, the agreement on the construction of shahuang wharf and the agreement on the autonomous management of shahuang British commercial wharf were signed.

Through this series of equal or implicit treaties, the Star Island community has obtained the sea area near shahuang and a whole flat beach, so as to pocket half of the entrance of the Strait of Malacca.

On June 3, the Dutch East India Company invaded Perak kingdom in the name of mediation. Perak King took refuge in Johor, and the war on the Malay Peninsula became more and more intense.

On June 16, pierce and the French and Russian allies jointly formed a mediation mission at the invitation of the Portuguese and Dutch allies.

The fifth chamber of Commerce mission visited the imperial city of Mapo, asked the countries of the Malay Peninsula to stop the war, and asked the kingdom of Johor to accept the suggestions of Portuguese businessmen and open Star Island.

The king of Johor asked the Dutch East India Company to withdraw from Perak Kingdom and support the return of Perak king to politics, and the negotiations broke down.

On June 17, the mediation mission announced that the kingdom of Johor was the "source of war and disputes on the peninsula" and the king of Johor was the "enemy of human peace and justice". They jointly announced that they would "fight against evil based on businessmen, maintain the smooth trade in Malacca, and protect the lives and human rights of European businessmen".

On June 27, the joint fleet of the five chambers of Commerce fought undeclared, destroyed the Johor Navy in 30 minutes, surrendered the coastal fort, and the joint fleet shelled the Imperial City Mapo.

On June 29, Johor surrendered.

On July 1, envoys of the five chambers of Commerce, Portugal, the Netherlands, Johor, Perak, Aceh and Jeddah held peace talks in Xingdao. The meeting lasted two days. The participating representatives jointly signed the Xingdao peace treaty, with a total of 17 articles and 64 paragraphs.

Its main contents include:

Respect the Dutch East India Company's occupation of Perak Kingdom, allow Perak king to return to power and build a government with the Dutch East India Company.

Respecting the requirements of Portugal, Aceh and Kyrgyzstan for their own damage, Johor should bear all the responsibility for the peninsula war, pay 50000 pounds of war compensation to Portugal and 20000 pounds of war compensation to Aceh and Kyrgyzstan respectively.

Respect the administrative and territorial rights of the kingdom of Johor over Xingdao. At the same time, in order to ensure the right of all countries to sail freely in Malacca, the five chambers of Commerce raised 40000 pounds to buy Xingdao and all nearby islands and sea areas.

Respect the right of the chamber of Commerce to build and operate private land and sea areas, but do not interfere with free navigation, set up tax cards, station troops, expel indigenous outlying islands, or hinder the exercise of administrative rights by the kingdom of Johor.

The signing of the Star Island peace treaty helped Drake chamber of Commerce to acquire one fifth of the land on the island, and completely changed the political ecology of the island from the weak tube in which the Netherlands enjoyed a major voice to the autonomy of businessmen and the joint management of many countries.

If there is only Xingdao, this change that only allows the Netherlands to pay will not be recognized by the Dutch East India Company.

However, pierce let Eddie win the shahuang beach at the entrance of Malacca in advance, following the principle of Star Island co management and autonomy, which also brought the flavor of implicit exchange to the original unilateral change.

Britain successfully invaded Southeast Asia through Xingdao exported from Malacca, while the Netherlands took a seat at the entrance of Malacca through sand decoration and Perak Kingdom, which was seized by conspiracy, and successfully touched the trade routes of the Indian Ocean.

"Everyone is happy."

Pierce played with the emerald ring engraved with Johor's seal on his finger and looked indifferent.

"Everyone is happy."
