And Rosberg is also secretly glad, fortunately, he withstood the pressure during this time, and did not let these people mess around, making the situation out of control.

Since then, the atmosphere of the whole island of Java has changed greatly, and the overseas Chinese who stayed behind seem to have returned to the time when the East China government Java protected the overseas Chinese, whether it was the colonizers or the natives, they were polite to the overseas Chinese, and they were much more respectful in their words, and some of them also returned the looted overseas Chinese property and compensated a lot of money. Rosberg also released all the Zhang family's left-behind people in Java, and repeatedly explained to them that his detention of them was actually protecting them, and that he had no other meaning.

However, hundreds of overseas Chinese died in the early stage, and the indigenous tribes who committed the murder were in panic, and someone came to Rosberg's help, and Rosberg could only spread his hands and said: "If there are no dead people, it's okay, but if there is a human life, I can't do it, pray to God." ”

However, the experience of these two or three months has left a deep impression on both the overseas Chinese who stayed in Java and the overseas Chinese who were evacuated with the East China Government, and their understanding of the East China Government has also deepened; it can be said that in this era, only the East China Government is able and willing to protect the overseas Chinese; moreover, the East China Government is indeed doing what it says and will do what it says; and in the future, it should and must trust the East China Government. Therefore, the left-behind overseas Chinese on the entire island of Java are also waiting for the return of the East China government. And the East China government did not let them wait too long, and soon sent a fleet back to Java, which was naturally warmly welcomed by overseas Chinese.

After the landing force went ashore, they immediately began to set up camps and positions, and Qian Guoyu, the commander of the landing force, also held talks with Rosberg, who first affirmed what Rosberg had done in the past two or three months, protected most of the overseas Chinese in Java, and expressed his gratitude to Rosberg on behalf of the East China government. And Rosberg wiped a cold sweat.

Later, Qian Guoyu said that the East China Government had reached a unanimous agreement with the Dutch Government and was about to sign a treaty, so the East China Government had no intention of changing the status quo in Java, and the fleet arrived in Java only to make preliminary preparations for the return of overseas Chinese to Java. And hopefully Rosberg will cooperate. And Rothberg also hurriedly said that he would fully cooperate with the People's Army and fulfill the treaty signed by the two sides.

But then Qian Guoyu's words changed, believing that although Rosberg protected most of the overseas Chinese, a small number of overseas Chinese were still killed, and the People's Army had the obligation to avenge these tragic deaths of overseas Chinese, hoping that the colonial government would not stop them; in addition, although most of the overseas Chinese's lives were preserved, their property was robbed, so Qian Guoyu asked the colonial government to help the overseas Chinese recover their assets.

Of course, Rosberg knew that asking for the help of the colonial government was just a polite remark from the other side, and whether it was retaliation against the natives or the recovery of the assets of the overseas Chinese, the East China government would not pretend to anyone else. At the beginning, after defending overseas Chinese in Java, the People's Army garrisoned less than 200 people in Java, but it was ruthless in fighting the natives, and it never took into account the position of the colonial government.

Of course, it is still necessary to pretend to be a superficial attitude, and Rosberg also said that he will strictly investigate the relevant matters and preside over the preaching for the overseas Chinese in Java.

After the talks, Qian Guoyu returned to the port and immediately began to assign the KPA garrison, occupy key points, and soon took control of the area provided by the Zhang family.

After the landing force was all ashore, the fleet did stay in the port for only three days, and after replenishing water and food, it set sail for the port of Java, leaving only a few transport ships to transport the landing force.

In fact, the East China government's promise that the fleet would leave Java after three days was just a favor, because Java basically had no maritime power, so as long as the landing force could go ashore.

The landing force has 3 regiments, more than 10,000 people, and is equipped with a large number of mortars, machine guns, firepower is considerable, and the commander Qian Guoyu is familiar with the environment of Java, and at the same time there are certain connections among the colonists, the Zhang family is an overseas Chinese who have been operating in Java for decades, and they are well aware of the situation in Java, and the overseas Chinese in Java also fully support the People's Army, so they can completely control the situation in Java by relying on the landing force alone. Moreover, in the current situation, the colonial government does not dare to act rashly.

However, if the fleet stays in Java, it will not be of much use, and in the end it can only play a little deterrent role, unless the East China government wants to occupy Java by force, so after the landing force goes ashore, there is no need for the fleet to stay in Java at all.

After pacifying the Netherlands, the next target of the East China government was France, so before the departure, the Admiralty made a plan, if the landing in Java did not require force, then the fleet would instead attack the French colonies in Indochina after a short rest in Java, bombarding the colonies' ports and coastal cities. And the first target is Saigon.

Saigon, later known as Ho Chi Minh City in Vietnam, is located in the southeast of Vietnam, in the Mekong Delta region. The lower reaches of the Saigon River, a tributary of the Dong Nai River, became an important port trading town in southern Vietnam during the Age of Discovery in the 16th and 17th centuries due to the dense water network in this area, which allowed large ships to sail along the river to the sea.

After the Opium War, France invaded Vietnam and signed the First Saigon Treaty in 1862, in which Vietnam ceded Gia Dinh, Dinh Huang, Bien Hoa Province, the three provinces and the Kunlun Islands to France. Due to the superior location of Saigon, and the excellent port, water transportation is very convenient, so the French set up the Vietnamese Governor's Office in Saigon, and in order to better control the colonies occupied, Saigon carried out a more comprehensive modernization of the government.

Although after the Sino-French War, the Qing Dynasty recognized France's right to protect Vietnam, and then France signed the Second Treaty of Hue with Vietnam, formally establishing France's protective rule over the entire territory of Vietnam, and in 1887, Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia were merged to form the so-called "Indochina Federation", and the governor's palace was moved from Saigon to Hanoi. But after more than 20 years of French operation, Saigon has become the largest city and the most important port in the entire Indochina Peninsula, and is known as the "Paris of the East" by the French. Therefore, if the East China government attacked the port of Saigon, it would be a heavy blow to France.

After leaving Java, the fleet sailed for three days to Saigon waters and anchored near the Kunlun Islands, about 160 kilometers from Saigon Port, preparing to raid Saigon Port at night. Saigon Port is one of the few ports with both river and sea, although it is still about 45 kilometers away from the mouth of the sea, the water surface of this section of the Saigon River is wide and deep, and ships of more than 10,000 tons can enter and exit, and ships of more than 20,000 tons can enter during the high tide period.

Although the traverser has information about Saigon Port, it was more than 100 years later Saigon Port, and there is still a big difference from now, the Yueyang ship first released a large drone to reconnoiter the terrain and defense situation of Saigon Port from the air.

Saigon Port is arranged along both sides of the Saigon River, with more than 10 wharves on the left and right, and at this time, most of the berths have ships docked, almost the entire port is full, most of which are naturally French merchant ships, but also a considerable part of British merchant ships.

It turned out that at this time, the East China government's maritime interception of Britain and France in Asia, because it is the waters of East Asia and Southeast Asia, many British and French merchant ships did not dare to go to sea, so they had to anchor in the port, and there were many British ** ships passing by, because they were afraid of the interception of the East China government, did not dare to sail again, so they also hid in nearby ports, and Saigon Port is the largest port in the Indochina Peninsula, which naturally accommodated a large number of ships.

However, although Saigon Port is a commercial port, but the defense is not bad at all, after all, the daily capital transactions in Saigon Port are as many as millions of pounds, huge wealth, naturally need heavy troops to protect, the French on both sides of the mouth of the Saigon River, respectively, built 4 forts, each fort is made of concrete and stone masonry, very strong, firepower is based on two 280 mm caliber cannons and 2 200 mm caliber guns as the core, and then paved with 8 150 mm caliber guns, the total number of artillery in the four batteries exceeds 160, quite powerful, and in the rear of each battery, each of which garrisoned 1 company of troops to protect the battery.

At the same time, in Saigon Port, there is also a garrison fleet, consisting of 4 cruisers and 4 destroyers, but the cruisers are small protective cruisers of less than 3,000 tons, and their combat effectiveness is not strong, and the main task is to combat piracy in addition to cruising and escorting, after all, Saigon Port is not a military port, and it has a strong shore fire force, so there is no need to station a huge fleet here. The French naval forces in the Indochina Commonwealth were mainly stationed in Cam Ranh Bay.

However, compared with the British Far East Fleet, France's maritime power in the Far East was much shabby, with not a single battleship, and the main force was two large armored cruisers. Although the tonnage of the French navy has reached the second place in the world, it is somewhat unworthy of the name, because France only has 12 battleships as the main force at sea, and Germany, the United States, and Russia before the Far East War have no less than this number of battleships. The tonnage of the French Navy is mainly pulled up by a large number of small and medium-sized protective cruisers and destroyers.

Then to break through the defense line of the port of Saigon, it is enough to take into account only the shore defense batteries, and the fleet can be ignored.
