Luo Yue said: "I'm worried about another issue now, what if we defeat the Dutch army on the battlefield, but the Dutch colonial government still refuses to negotiate with us?" This situation is not impossible, because if the bottom line of Britain is to prevent us from attacking Batavia, then it is equivalent to adding a layer of protection to the Dutch colonial government, and if it can't be defeated, it can withdraw to the city of Batavia and hide, anyway, Britain will pay for them, and even if we attack other indigenous tribes, the Netherlands can not care, and we will not be able to spend it in Java for a long time. ”

Zhang Wei also nodded and said: "So the current problem is still the United Kingdom, not the Netherlands, as long as the British is done, the Netherlands will not be able to make any waves." ”

Wang Hailong said: "Isn't that simple? First destroy the British fleet, or fight with the British fleet first." "He has always held back his strength to fight a naval war of this era, so he has instigated war with Britain.

Shang Jinfeng shook his head and said, "This is absolutely not possible, it is not in our long-term interests to start a war with Britain now." In this case, tomorrow we will contact the British fleet, and it is better to have a meeting with them to find out their real bottom line and determine the rules of this war. ”

Wang Hailong said: "But they just want to protect the Dutch, what should we do?"

Shang Jinfeng said: "Britain is also an unprofitable lord, they will never protect the Netherlands unconditionally, if there is no benefit, or the risk is too great, they will definitely give up the Netherlands, we do not want to go to war with Britain, and Britain also does not want to go to war with us, and we have no intention of occupying Java, so I think we compromise with each other, and it is very likely that we will finally reach an agreement." Of course, if Britain is unwilling to compromise and must protect the Netherlands, and is not even afraid to tear our faces apart, then we have nothing to scruple about but to go to war with the British. ”

Since Shang Jinfeng said so, Wang Hailong can't say anything, Bi Jing Shang Jinfeng is the commander-in-chief of this overseas Chinese protection operation, and Wang Hailong also knows that turning his face with Britain now is indeed unfavorable to the East China government, so he said: "Okay, then let's try it." ”

Shang Jinfeng nodded, and said to Luo Yue: "Commander Luo, the matter of negotiation with the British side is in charge of the navy, you lead the army to the farm to prepare as soon as possible, and you are fully responsible for the operation on land, the navy fully supports the army's action, and it is enough to leave only one company guard on the dock." ”

Luo Yue also nodded and said, "Okay, after this meeting, I'll leave immediately." ”

After the meeting, Luo Yue left the Kunming ship and came to the shore, at this time the troops had been assembled on land, and half of the ammunition and weapons were reduced, Luo Yue also decided to leave the remaining ammunition on the dock, and led the landing army to the farm, and joined the People's Army that had arrived in Java in the early stage.

On the one hand, in the past few days, the People's Army has continuously attacked the indigenous people of Java and rescued the Javanese Chinese, and has established a very lofty prestige in the hearts of the Javanese Chinese, and naturally welcomed the arrival of the KPA army; on the other hand, more than 2,000 troops have come this time, and the number has increased greatly, which has made the Javanese Chinese feel at ease.

After settling down, Luo Yue's first thing to solve was, of course, the ideological problems of the soldiers. So the next morning, Luo Yue gathered all the soldiers and mobilized.

First of all, I asked a few Chinese who suffered to tell us about their own experiences, the aborigines have always oppressed the Chinese, because in this anti-Chinese incident, the aborigines persecuted the Chinese, and the Chinese residential areas that were plundered by the aborigines, the natives did not even let go of the elderly, women, and children, but only spoke with tears in their eyes, and many soldiers also cried when they heard it.

Before leaving Qingdao, the People's Army also specially organized to talk about the history of the blood and tears of the Nanyang Chinese, but after all, it was history, and it was talking about it itself, but now it is talking about what has just happened, and the person concerned has personally appeared to say the story, and this is of course much more convincing. And the facts have also proved that this practice of pulling hatred is very effective, and has successfully aroused the anger of the fighters, and subconsciously since the indigenous Javanese can kill the old and weak women and children of the Chinese at will, then there is nothing wrong with us killing the old and weak women and children of the indigenous people.

In fact, in the past few days, the thinking of the fighters who arrived in Java in the early stage has changed, because after returning to the farm after fighting the Sukka tribe, the Chinese who took refuge in the farm praised the actions of the People's Army, and many Chinese came to thank the soldiers and avenge themselves or their relatives, which also made the soldiers greatly reduce the tangled emotions in their hearts, and did not think that there was anything wrong with killing and injuring civilians. And the new fighters have not experienced such a situation, and they will not have doubts.

However, the time-travelers do not want to portray the KPA as a ruthless soldier, and really do not take human life seriously, even if it is against the civilians of hostile countries. Therefore, the people's army's shelling of Utina Village is not aimed at civilians, but also against the army, which is completely reasonable, and the old, weak, women and children affected by the shelling are accidental injuries, because these soldiers hide in the old, weak, women and children, and cannot be regarded as indiscriminate killing.

However, after the combat troops go into battle, they can try their best to reduce the killing and wounding of the elderly, weak, women and children, of course, provided that they ensure their own safety and victory in the battle, because the People's Army has to defend the Chinese or Chinese, but there is no need to put the civilians of the enemy country first. But after the war is over, civilians from enemy countries cannot be killed, beaten, or abused at will, as long as they do not rebel against the rule of the People's Army, let alone bully women.

After the Qingdao Executive Yuan received the report of the People's Army, it also aroused great attention from the leadership of the East China Government, and this was indeed a problem that was ignored by the East China Government before this action to protect overseas Chinese, because in the past, the People's Army was fighting at home, and of course it had to put the safety of the people first, and sometimes it was even necessary to protect the safety of the people at the expense of sacrifices, which was also the responsibility of the army, but when fighting abroad, it was fighting in the territory of the enemy country, and how to deal with the relationship with the people of the enemy country was indeed a completely new problem for the traversers, including the crossing soldiers。

In the old time and space, the PLA rarely had a case of fighting abroad, because it fought in the territory of the enemy country, and the only time was in the 1979 self-defense counterattack against Vietnam, but it only lasted about a month before and after, and then it took the initiative to withdraw, only occupying several geographically advantageous hills on the border to carry out a distance war. Due to the short duration of this battle, there was not much experience to refer to in the crossing warriors.

In this era, in the future, the People's Army will certainly not only fight at home and fight abroad, but it will certainly have more chances of fighting within the enemy's territory than in the old time and space, so it is also necessary to formulate a set of systems and disciplines for fighting abroad. Of course, this time it will definitely be too late, and it is enough to determine a few rules for this Javanese operation, and the detailed disciplinary system will be slowly compiled after the end of this overseas Chinese protection.

Therefore, the Central Military Commission also quickly established a major principle: Of course, the military should not use domestic discipline to demand the army in this Java operation, but it should also not arbitrarily kill innocent people, and it is first necessary to ensure the safety of the KPA itself and the victory of the battle, and the code of conduct of the whole army can only be flexibly grasped by the commanders of the front line according to the actual situation on the battlefield.

However, after this mobilization, the ideological problems of the soldiers were basically solved, and the whole army was unified in their thinking, so Luo Yue also decided to find a tribe to open a knife in order to force the Dutch colonial government to take the initiative to fight.

In the evening of the same day, the navy at the dock informed Luo Yue that it had made contact with the British fleet, and that the two sides had agreed to hold talks the next day to negotiate the rules of operation in Java.

It turned out that after the British main fleet entered the harbor and anchored, the commander-in-chief, Vice Admiral Owen, immediately summoned Hamilton, and the two talked for almost an afternoon, and Owen had a clear understanding of the current situation in Java and a certain bottom in his heart. Although the situation in Java is complicated at present, in the final analysis, it depends on whether the real goal of the overseas Chinese is to occupy Java, and if so, then Britain has no choice but to break with the East China government and immediately enter the war; if not, then it will be easy to solve, and Britain can force the Netherlands to accept the conditions of the East China government for negotiations.

Of course, the British fleet will not easily meet the demands of the overseas Chinese, at least let the overseas Chinese fight a war with the Netherlands, and only after winning can they talk about other things, but it has become a top priority for the British fleet to negotiate with the overseas Chinese and formulate a battle rule.

So Owen immediately wrote a letter and sent someone to the dock of Zhang's house and handed it to the supreme commander of the overseas Chinese fleet, hoping to have a meeting with the overseas Chinese, and the place was set at sea, and hoped that the overseas Chinese could send a person of sufficient weight. Of course, all this was done behind the back of the Dutch colonial government.

After receiving Owen's letter, Shang Jinfeng was right in the middle of the situation, and he was thinking about how to contact the British fleet? The British actually took the initiative to come to the door, so Shang Jinfeng immediately agreed to the British request, and would send someone to negotiate with the British, and agreed that early tomorrow morning, each side would send a destroyer to negotiate with the British. As for the candidate on the People's Army's side, Shang Jinfeng decided to send Zhang Wei to negotiate with the British, he was a major general and the commander who defeated the Dutch fleet, and Zhang Wei's personality was more calm than Wang Hailong, so he should be the most suitable candidate.
