C1839 British escort (1/2)

”My dear old friend, Wei Liyaka … God bless you! ”

”Dear Philip, are there any top-notch gin? I remember that you have quite a bit of stock here! ”

Outside of the French windows, there was a verdant lawn in the southern part of the General Governor's Mansion. The native servants were building flowers and plants while the blue sky and white clouds were moving towards the distant blue sea and silver sand.

The two had been working together in the South Sea for many years, and since the Netherlands had lost its right to rule the world, the Dutch state policy now was to make money in a neutral way, basically not offending anyone but relying on the British in general.

It was an effective means of reducing strife, and the close relationship between culture and royalty prevented the British from bullying the Netherlands.

For a long time, the two countries got along well, and the two governors got on very well together. In the Southern Sea, the tropical sea breeze made their bones soften, and they felt as relaxed as if they were on vacation.

In 1869, the Europeans established their authority in Asia. Even the Great Qing was defeated twice, not to mention those weak countries. Almost all the Asian countries trembled under the cannon of European civilization.

This kind of rule was very easy, and all the natives had terrified expressions. The Europeans firmly occupied the top of the pyramid, and one or two European soldiers were usually able to command hundreds of natives to suppress thousands of civilians without losing.

In such a stable environment, the two of them held the position of governor. In fact, their power was equivalent to that of a king.

In the colony, every word is spoken with a total of nine words, and all the authority in the country is appointed, with the military and financial powers in hand, and the personnel and personnel appointed and removed … The governor had a huge amount of income in grey during his tenure.

In the past few years, the two of them had set up a manor in Europe and bought real estate in the capital. They had also purchased a lot of famous works of art from the Renaissance.

This was life, the life of a real European aristocracy should be like this.

However, today, Wei Liyaka saw a trace of exhaustion in her old friend's eyes. Furthermore, right after entering the General Governor's Mansion, the workers around the porch were extremely busy, and the sound of telegraph's busy reporting could be heard. The entire British colonial rule system in the Singapore seemed to have been mobilized.

Inside the hexagonal crystal bottle was expensive gin, a famous liquor invented by the Dutch and glorified by the British. It had to be filled with a lot of ice cubes in order to suppress the strong taste in the mouth.

Wei Liyaka shook the ice cubes in the cup, causing the golden colored wine to start spinning between the cracks of the ice cubes, the melted ice water slowly diluted the alcohol concentration, and with her experience, Wei Liyaka was able to find the most balanced and perfect taste.

After drinking it all in one gulp, the refreshing ice and the burning hot taste flowed down his throat as his entire body became transparent.

”AHH!” Awesome, 12 years old? Sixteen years? This gin is just too good for the East Indies... ”
