When the evacuation fleet first arrived in Java, it was actually very popular with the overseas Chinese in Java, because before that, the atmosphere in Java was indeed very tense, and many Dutch businessmen were a little ready to move, and frequently caused incidents, or incited the natives to challenge the overseas Chinese, and the People's Army and the Chinese escort were also in full array, and they fought back hard against the Dutch businessmen and the natives, and there had been more than a dozen clashes between the two sides, each of which had killed and wounded dozens of people. Many overseas Chinese are worried and hurried, fearing that a big change will happen in Java.

The arrival of the overseas Chinese evacuation ship in Java with the prestige of the British Far East Fleet immediately suppressed the arrogance of the colonial authorities, and the Dutch and natives were forced to adopt a restrained and tolerant attitude.

However, after the arrival of the overseas Chinese fleet, it immediately announced that it would require overseas Chinese to evacuate Java, which really disappointed many overseas Chinese, because most of the overseas Chinese have lived in Java for several generations, although they still regard themselves as Chinese in their hearts, but in fact they have regarded Java as their second hometown, and many of them have purchased property and business in Java. Except for big businessmen like Zhang Zhenxun, the vast majority of people don't know anything about what kind of feelings they have after arriving in Shandong, so they are naturally reluctant to leave Java.

Although the evacuation fleet and the staff of the East China ** office in Java have repeatedly assured that they can return to Java in a maximum of one year, this guarantee is really not very convincing, after all, overseas Chinese in Java do not live in Chinese mainland, and they still lack a complete understanding of East China. If it weren't for the Zhang family taking the lead in responding and expressing their willingness to evacuate Java, so that a considerable number of people were driven, otherwise there would have been few people who were willing to leave with the evacuation fleet, but that's it, until three days before the retreat, less than 4 percent of overseas Chinese who expressed their willingness to evacuate Java.

Of course, the Dutch colonial authorities do not want to see the overseas Chinese evacuate, although after the overseas Chinese evacuate, their real estate in Java, factories and shops will stay, but the overseas Chinese have withdrawn, which is also a serious blow to the economy of Java, the Dutch colonial authorities only want to shear sheep, but not just do a lot of trading, although they can slaughter a few fat sheep, but most of the sheep will still stay, waiting for the wool to grow again, this is the long-term plan, and although the overseas Chinese can not take away the real estate, Factories and shops, but they will take away the soft money, which will also cause a shortage of money supply in Java and cause a financial crisis.

However, the evacuation fleet is sitting here, and the Dutch colonial authorities do not dare to adopt tough measures, so they have to play the emotional card, lobbying overseas Chinese one after another not to leave Java, first of all, pretending to care, once they leave Java, then the hard work of several generations will be in vain, and they will not know whether it is a blessing or a curse, a murder or an auspicious thing when they return to Chinese mainland? Generations of inheritance were lost, Java was rich and wanted the Chinese to maintain economic prosperity, and many businessmen came forward to tell their business partners that they could protect them if there was a real unrest, and so on.

It should be said that this set of rhetoric can still confuse many people, and in the past 3 years, due to the backing of East China, overseas Chinese and foreign businessmen have equal status when they conduct business and trade, so many overseas Chinese have made many foreign businessmen and established a certain friendship, which also makes many overseas Chinese give birth to such an illusion, find a foreign businessman as a guarantee, even if there is really a mess in the future, they can hide from it.

Of course, most overseas Chinese still know that foreigners are unreliable, so only about 2 percent of overseas Chinese really believe in these nonsense, and more than 4 percent are holding a wait-and-see attitude, although they know that foreigners are unreliable, but they are reluctant to leave their family business, do not want to leave Java, to the point of whimsy, hoping to evacuate the overseas Chinese fleet to stay in Java, so that their own safety is guaranteed, and there is no need to abandon their families and property, and the cost of the fleet can be supplied by overseas Chinese in Java.

As a result, some people made this request to the evacuation fleet, which made Commander Wang Hailong cry and laugh a little, and these people really dared to think that fighting a war was a game of play? But they still politely refused. And still tried his best to persuade them to leave with the fleet.

After receiving the order of East China, the evacuation fleet and the East China ** Office in Java jointly announced that the evacuation fleet will set sail on time at 10 a.m. the day after tomorrow and will never return after the fleet departs, so those who are willing to evacuate should decide to sign up as soon as possible. At the same time, he also said that the East China ** Office in Java will try its best to take measures to ensure the personal safety of overseas Chinese who have not been evacuated, but after the fleet is evacuated, it will not assume any responsibility.

After the announcement was issued, the overseas Chinese who had a wait-and-see attitude suddenly became nervous, and it seemed that they had to make a choice, and some of the overseas Chinese who were determined to stay were also a little uneasy in their hearts. So after these overseas Chinese got together to negotiate, they decided to elect five representatives, who are also huge wealthy businessmen among overseas Chinese in Java, to visit Zhang Zhijun, hoping to understand the final attitude of East China from the Zhang family, and then make a decision.

Three years ago, after East China protected overseas Chinese in Java, the Zhang family firmly stood on the side of East China, and in this regard, East China's overseas Chinese protection action was attracted by the Zhang family, and it can be said that Zhang Jiaji completely offended the Dutch colonial authorities, so he could only resolutely follow East China. It is indeed trustworthy, not to mention the secession of one party, that is, to change the dynasty, it is not impossible to establish a country, and in the future, if you can't keep it, you will still have the merit of the dragon, and you will be a descendant. Therefore, it also made a decision to fully support East China, and continue to transfer its capital and industry to East China. And based on East China**, expand throughout Chinese mainland. Now even if the Zhang family does not want all the assets of Java, it is only relying on the industry in East China ** and the entire Chinese mainland, which is also hugely rich.

After the evacuation fleet set off from Shanghai, Zhang Zhenxun sent a telegram to his eldest son Zhang Zhijun, who stayed in Java, asking him to immediately pack up the assets of Java, sell what can be sold and seal what cannot be sold, count and pack the soft things with money, and arrange ships at the same time to prepare for the evacuation of Java, because the Zhang family has a big family and a large population, so it needs enough time to clean up.

However, the Zhang family is a big family, there are many people, not everyone has Zhang Zhenxun's courage and insight, the horse loves the trough, greedy for comfort, and the Zhang family was also quite powerful in Java in the past, and the Dutch colonial authorities also had to give some face. Some people even suggested like Zhang Zhijun that they might as well wait for change, but Zhang Zhenxun was not there anyway, as long as he dragged the overseas Chinese fleet away, Zhang Zhenxun had no choice.

But Zhang Zhijun was unmoved, and acted completely according to Zhang Zhenxun's instructions, on the one hand, he instructed the family members to pack the gold and silver soft things, and on the other hand, he sold the Zhang family's property in Java, and at the same time prepared the ship. The Zhang family has its own wharf and shipping company in Java, with 26 large and small ships, all of which were gathered at this time to arrange for evacuation. Although the Zhang family only brought light and small things, in the end, they carried 12 ships with their belongings, and the remaining 14 ships were used to carry other overseas Chinese.

However, things and items are easy to do, you can bring them, and if you can't bring them, they will stay, they are always things outside the body, but there are also a group of people in the Zhang family who resolutely refuse to evacuate Java, and Zhang Zhijun has nothing to do with them, so they can't be kidnapped, not to mention that there are many people here who are Zhang Zhijun's elders. Therefore, Zhang Zhijun had no choice but to ask Zhang Zhenxun for help.

Zhang Zhenxun's reply was that those who did not want to leave would stay, and handed over the Zhang family's houses, real estate, shops, factories, manors, and a number of clumsy things that they did not take away to take care of them. At the same time, Zhang Zhenxun also repeatedly said to Zhang Zhijun, he must instruct the people who stayed, if after the evacuation fleet leaves, someone comes to rob the Zhang family's property, do not argue with it, let them rob it, as long as you remember the name and identity of the robber, everything is to protect your own life and safety as the first priority, and when East China ** returns to Java, someone from the Zhang family will naturally come forward to discuss with it, etc., this is of course what East China ** told Zhang Zhenxun. And Zhang Zhijun also did it one by one.

Listening to the report from his family, someone visited him, and as soon as he saw the famous post, Zhang Zhijun knew what he was here for. Because since the arrival of the overseas Chinese evacuation fleet, there are guests visiting Zhang Zhijun almost every day, and the purpose of the people who come is almost the same, some people want to understand the Zhang family's attitude towards the evacuation of overseas Chinese, Bi Jing Zhang family is a huge rich man in Java, and many overseas Chinese only look forward to the Zhang family; but most people still hope that the Zhang family can come forward and keep the evacuation fleet, because the Zhang family and East China ** Some people even hope that the Zhang family will come forward to negotiate with the Dutch colonial authorities and get a guarantee from the Dutch colonial authorities for the safety of overseas Chinese, even if it is at the expense of the interests of some overseas Chinese in Java, that is, to spend money to ensure safety.

On the one hand, Zhang Zhijun would make it clear that the Zhang family would definitely evacuate Java, and on the other hand, he would try his best to persuade them to evacuate together, and other demands were also explicitly refused, so that there was no ambiguity. Some people strengthened their attitude after the visit, but most of them returned disappointed, but at this time there are still people who do not give up, so that Zhang Zhijun is a little surprised, but Zhang Zhijun still ordered his family to invite them in for an interview.
