Chapter 505: Taking Down the Grassroots Team
In the past, Wang Yuanchao would usually spend Christmas in the United States and then rush back to Hong Kong to celebrate the New Year, ensuring a sense of belonging in all places.

Because of the Blackwater base incident, he did not go to the United States this time. He stayed in Hong Kong so that he could keep an eye on the situation in Sarawak.

Blackwater is full of talented people. They arranged special agents to infiltrate the homes of high-ranking East Malaysian indigenous people who were under house arrest.

Yes, there are political differences, but it has not yet reached the point of fighting and killing. The faction that surrendered to West Malaysia only kept it under guard at home, which gave Blackwater an opportunity.

Faced with an unknown future of house arrest and an unknown future of being in control, even a fool would know what to choose.

What's more, this high-ranking official from the East had cooperated with Blackwater before, so they have a basis for cooperation.

Do the capitulationists think they can control the situation with the support of West Malaysia?

But the Dongtu faction is not stupid. What price will Heishui have to pay for helping them?
They have no money!

All the valuable oil and gas resources are occupied by West Malaysia!
As for fighting with Xima, well, he doesn’t have the courage for now.

After all, how many people are there in Sarawak? Only 1.5 million.

There are more than two million people in Sabah. Logically, they should be in solidarity with Sarawak. However, they surrendered even faster than Sarawak, which is very infuriating.

If it's just Sarawak, maybe West Malaysia won't have to take action, as neighboring Indonesia will make them suffer a lot.

Therefore, he did not think that Sarawak could pay a price that the Americans would appreciate without leaving the Federated Malay States.

If you want to negotiate a deal with the devil, you have to know what the bargaining chips are, right?
Wenders had already discussed with his boss about taking over the small state of Sarawak as a colonial outpost for Blackwater. It was not beyond imagination for a company to control a small state.

But this reason obviously cannot be stated directly.

But the reasons are also ready-made:
There are now a large number of South Vietnamese refugees, and Blackwater can recruit them to develop forest resources, which is equivalent to having hundreds of thousands of cheap laborers, which is a huge wealth!

This reason is powerful and reasonable.

Because in neighboring Sabah, there are a large number of immigrants from Indonesia, the Philippines, Southeast Asia, East Timor and other countries, and there are many illegal residents.

The same thing happens in Sarawak. Blackwater is in this business. Their paper mills and timber mills have thousands of South Vietnamese refugees working for them.

Now that Blackwater is being targeted by the capitulationists, it must be annoyed. It must be seeking greater benefits to cooperate with him, a local hardliner.

Sarawak has a large amount of forest resources, which the West Malaysian authorities did not take away because they have plenty of them too.

So the Dongtu leaders no longer had any doubts. He also knew his own value, so he proposed that Heishui give him benefits based on the population size.

It turns out that there are thousands of people, and Heishui gave him benefits.

If it were tens of thousands of people, shouldn't the benefit be ten times greater?
The people were brought here by Heishui, but the forest resources belong to Sarawak!

Very reasonable.

After the two sides hit it off, Blackwater brought in a lot of agreements.

The cooperative development agreement naturally stipulates the development of forest resources and the introduction of a large number of human resources into Heishui.

Even if he were in power, Heishui could arrange for the factories under it to pay more taxes, recruit a number of local people, provide relevant jobs, and fund some social education.

A solid political achievement.

Security cooperation agreement, Blackwater has to have a legitimate reason to take action against the surrender faction.

No matter what, to the outside world, it was the localist high-ranking officials in Sarawak who hired them.

They are just a security company, doing things according to their employer's requirements. That makes sense, doesn't it?

They are a legal American company and pay a lot of taxes to the US tax department every year!

The security fee paid was to open up a dedicated dock for Blackwater on the edge of the dock, which would be managed by Blackwater itself and under the supervision of the authorities' customs officials.

As for the customs officials, after having this exclusive wharf, Blackwater can easily bribe them with wine, sex, money, and martial arts. If they can't be bribed, there are still accidents.

While Blackwater was negotiating with the capitulation faction to buy time and obtain information about the top leaders of the capitulation faction, it also quickly reached a cooperation agreement with the local faction.

Then overnight, several high-ranking members of the surrender faction were abducted by Blackwater and taken to the base for tea.

Blackwater was originally prepared to use force, and its helicopters and armored vehicles had been ready for a long time.

However, the investigation showed that none of them were prepared!

Those daily guards were few in number, had low vigilance, and poor tactical skills. Not only were they no match for the Blackwater Special Forces, they were also crushed by the South Vietnamese.

Of course, it would be best if we could achieve this without bloodshed, but sacrificing some individual defenders would not be a big deal.

However, a small-scale firefight occurred in an attempt to rescue this localist leader.

Blackwater must have a group of people lurking in to protect the candidates, and then attack from both inside and outside. Under the attack from both inside and outside, the two "Hueys" were still on the way, and the battle was over.

Huey said that he was wronged and rushed here as soon as possible! In the end, he could only become a high-ranking official's mount and pulled people to the Blackwater base to meet the surrenderists who gathered together for tea.

They were all capitulationists, so they were only angry for a while. But when the son of one of the leaders (the company commander who had led the attack before) was brought up and pressed aside, with a gun pointed at his head, they surrendered very smoothly one by one.

The top leadership of a state was overthrown so easily.

Then all their security work will be undertaken by Blackwater.

Residence, vehicle, office, yes, every senior official enjoys a platoon of security!
When you eat, there must be two people standing guard next to you. When you sleep, there are two people standing guard outside the door and under the window. The main purpose is to provide all-round protection!

Not to mention going to the toilet!
As for making and receiving phone calls, there are security guards to help answer the calls.

When a group of congressmen were meeting to make decisions, there were security guards outside...

Even the localist is no exception, but the degree is not as high. He calls it fear of a counterattack from political opponents.

The localists thought it made sense. Before this incident, the other party had only placed him under house arrest, but after that, the fight would definitely end to the death.

Once the deal was finalized there, people started to be transported to Hong Kong.

In the 1980s and 1990s, Hong Kong movies were popular. In Hong Kong gunfight movies, there are always many Vietnamese elements. And these Vietnamese elements are always inseparable from the dark characteristics of war, refugees, gangs, killers, black areas, etc.

It's very simple, that is, a large number of Vietnamese refugees poured into Hong Kong.

Before the collapse of South Vietnam, a large number of wealthy and well-connected people fled abroad, most of them went to the United States, a small number stayed at the Blackwater base in Sarawak, and many also went to other neighboring countries.

After the merger, Vietnam did not devote its main energy to economic development, but instead focused on consolidating its ruling position and aggressive expansion.

In terms of economics, he learned from the Soviet Union to eliminate private ownership and directly confiscated everyone's personal property.

Politically, they launched a massive hunt for suspicious individuals who had any connection with the South Vietnamese regime and detained them in concentration camps.

Militarily, with elite veterans honed in the purgatory-like Vietnam War, large amounts of equipment provided by the big brothers to the north, and large amounts of equipment left over from the United States, Vietnam began to gradually develop ambitions to unify the entire Indochina Peninsula, and even began to call itself the "third most powerful country in the world," constantly looking for excuses to engage in external conflicts.

As more and more civilians fled abroad, the Vietnamese government gradually realized that the population base had dropped significantly during the census. However, the Vietnamese government at that time did not care about the country's economic development and infrastructure construction at all, but instead saw business opportunities in these refugees.

Don't you want to flee abroad?
Okay, as long as you pay enough.

At the beginning, the Vietnamese government turned a blind eye to illegal immigration. All you had to do was sell your property and pay some fines to go through the departure procedures.

If you really have no money, you can bribe the border guards to help you escape.

Later, it even developed to the point where the military specifically collected money and then transported refugees abroad in batches.

[It seems that the Vietnamese government is not going to just stand by and watch; they also want to make some money.

In the 80s, the Vietnamese government officially legalized smuggling. As long as one paid $2000 to $3000 or gold of equal value to the state, the state would handle the departure procedures for individuals and their families.

If you don't have money, you can ask relatives overseas for help through connections. But if you have no money and no power, I'm sorry, you only have two choices: dangerous smuggling or a poor life in the country.

Throughout the late 20th century, a huge wave of Vietnamese refugees swept the world, and many of them chose to seek refuge in Hong Kong. 】

There are now 50,000 to 60,000 Vietnamese in Hong Kong.

The Hong Kong authorities are very tolerant in dealing with the refugee issue. Not only have they established relevant living facilities for refugees, they even have special hospitals for medical treatment.

In addition, Hong Kong is closer to other developed regions than Vietnam, so it is convenient to travel there. Therefore, a large number of Vietnamese refugees began to settle in Hong Kong.

As the number of immigrants increased, problems also arose. First, the Hong Kong government had to allocate additional funds every year to resettle refugees. Second, the large number of refugees made Hong Kong's already scarce land resources even more scarce, and the relationship between people and land became increasingly tense.

Finally, the influx of a large number of Vietnamese immigrants impacted the local labor market in Hong Kong. A large number of cheap laborers flooded the entire Hong Kong manufacturing industry, which directly led to a large number of unemployment among local people in Hong Kong. As a result, local people gradually began to have prejudices against Vietnamese people.

As a big boss, Wang Yuanchao is well aware of this, but his companies are all very formal and generally do not employ illegal immigrants.

So Blackwater Security arranged a group of "experts" to come to Hong Kong to discuss the immigration reception work.

They have a forest development cooperation agreement authorization from the Sarawak authorities and can accommodate a large number of employed people.

This was greatly welcomed by the Hong Kong authorities.

In order to send off these illegal immigrants, the Hong Kong authorities even provide boat ticket payment services.

Most of the immigrants who can escape are young and middle-aged, followed by children, and there are very few elderly people. The population quality is particularly outstanding.

Moreover, many Vietnamese people can speak a few words of Chinese. Those who have stayed in Hong Kong for a period of time can speak even more.

[In 75, Vietnam completely abolished Chinese character education in its territory]
