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 Government 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, the overseas Chinese in Java do not live in Chinese mainland and lack a complete understanding of the East China government. 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 use tough measures, so they have to play the emotional card, lobbying overseas Chinese 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 still do not know whether it is a blessing or a curse, a murder or a good fortune when they return to Chinese mainland? Then they promised that after the evacuation fleet left, the Dutch colonial authorities would not mess with the overseas Chinese, because the expeditionary force was aimed at the East China government, not the overseas Chinese in Java, so there was no need to pay for the East China government for several generations, and Java was also rich and wanted overseas Chinese to maintain economic prosperity; in addition, many businessmen came forward to tell their business partners that if there was real turmoil, they could provide them with protection, and so on.

It should be said that this set of rhetoric can still confuse many people, and in the past three years or so, due to the backing of the East China government, overseas Chinese and foreign businessmen have also become equal in 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 guarantor, even if there is really trouble 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 instructions of the East China Government, the Overseas Chinese Evacuation Fleet and the East China Government Office in Java jointly announced that the Overseas Chinese Evacuation Fleet will set sail for the return journey on time at 10 a.m. the day after tomorrow, and that the fleet will never return after departure, 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 Government Office in Java will do 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 bear 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. Therefore, after these overseas Chinese got together for consultation, they decided to elect five representatives, who were also extremely wealthy businessmen among the overseas Chinese in Java, to visit Zhang Zhijun, hoping to understand the final attitude of the East China government from the Zhang family's side before making a decision.

On the other hand, Zhang Zhenxun conducted a serious examination in the East China Government, believing that the East China Government 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, he will not be able to keep his own merits from the dragon, and he will be knighted and Ze will be descended。 Therefore, it also made a decision to fully support the East China government, and continued to transfer its capital and industry to the East China government. And based on the East China government, expand throughout Chinese mainland. Now, even if the Zhang family does not want all the assets in Java, they will only rely on the East China government and the entire industry of Chinese mainland, and they will be extremely 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, after protecting overseas Chinese in Java, although the Dutch colonial authorities regarded the Zhang family as an enemy, but with the support of the East China government behind it, they were more humble on the surface, so many people in the Zhang family lacked a sense of crisis and still wanted to stay in Java. 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 told Zhang Zhijun that he must instruct the people who stayed behind that if someone comes to rob the Zhang family's property after the evacuation fleet leaves, they must not dispute with them, just let them rob it, as long as they remember the name and identity of the robbers, everything is to protect their own lives and safety as the first priority, and when the East China government returns to Java, the Zhang family will naturally have someone to come forward to discuss with it, etc., this is of course what the East China government 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. Some people want to know the attitude of the Zhang family toward the evacuation of overseas Chinese, Bi Jing and the Zhang family are extremely rich in Java, and many overseas Chinese are only looking forward to the Zhang family; however, most people still hope that the Zhang family will come forward and keep the overseas Chinese fleet, because the Zhang family has a close relationship with the East China government, and perhaps the overseas Chinese fleet will sell the face of the Zhang family; some people even hope that the Zhang family will be able to come forward to negotiate with the Dutch colonial authorities and get a guarantee of the security of the overseas Chinese from the Dutch colonial authorities, even if it is to sacrifice the interests of some overseas Chinese in Java, that is, to spend money to ensure peace。

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.
