During this time, there was also a Javanese anti-colonial group that sent two representatives to contact the KPA, hoping that the KPA could help them drive out the Dutch colonists and make Java self-reliant.

Now the anti-colonial resistance movement in Java has entered a low ebb, but there are still a number of anti-colonial organizations operating in secret, and after the People's Army landed in Java, the attitude of the anti-colonial organizations towards the People's Army is also different, some organizations think that they can cooperate with the People's Army to jointly drive out the Dutch colonists, but some believe that after the People's Army landed, they are all Javanese aborigines, and the Dutch colonists are the same as the raccoon dogs, and the former are basically Javanese people who have a certain blood relationship with the Chinese or are the descendants of the early Chinese in Java, and have a certain good impression of China, while the latter are mostly indigenous natives of Java, in their eyes, the Chinese are the same as the colonists, all outsiders, should be expelled from Java.

But finally an anti-colonial organization decided to try to contact the KPA, and if it didn't work anyway, it would only be two dead messengers, and if it could get help from the KPA, it would be of great help to its own resistance activities. So he sent two people to disguise themselves as refugees, infiltrated the farm, and finally approached the People's Army and made his own request.

After receiving this information, Shang Jinfeng, Wang Hailong, Zhang Wei, Luo Yue and other leaders of the People's Army were also a little surprised, but they immediately reported to the Qingdao side.

Although the East China Government does not intend to occupy Java this time, in the long run, the East China Government will sooner or later expand its influence to Southeast Asia, so supporting and supporting an anti-colonial force in Java is of little use in the short term, but as a secret chess move, it is very likely to be used in the future, and even if it is not used, there is no loss to the East China Government, which is nothing more than a waste of some funds and force.

However, after discussion at the Executive Council, it was held that it is not appropriate to give too much money and weapons to this organization at present, but that it is necessary to give priority to education and training, fully cultivate pro-China forces in this organization, gradually increase the influence of the East China Government in this organization, and at the same time improve the strength of this organization, so as not only to set a long-term goal, but also not to invest too much in the early stage, so as not to lose more than the gains.

The Ministry of Administration informed the Javanese Command of this principle, and the People's Army received two representatives of the anti-colonial organizations on the KPA, saying that the East China Government supported Java's anti-colonial struggle and achieved national self-reliance, and could secretly provide the funds and weapons needed to resist the Dutch colonial government, and at the same time could also teach and train the backbone personnel of the anti-colonial, and at the appropriate time could openly support the anti-colonial organizations. But the anti-colonial organization was asked to send someone of weight to conduct detailed consultations. So the two deputies were also very happy, and hurriedly took their leave, and went back to deliver the letter.

Of course, this move is just a piece of cloth and is useless at the moment, and the continuous attacks of the People's Army have finally caused panic among many indigenous tribes in Java. After all, there are now 3 tribes that have been taken over by the People's Army, two of which are large tribes of nearly 10,000 people, and no one wants to be the fourth, so when the Dutch government mobilized these tribes to send troops to attack overseas Chinese, it was very smooth and received a response from many tribes.

Some tribes have always been very dissatisfied with the Dutch colonial government in the past, and even secretly did something to resist the colonial government, but at this time they also chose to cooperate with the colonial government to fight against overseas Chinese. Moreover, the Dutch colonial government did not spare any money at this time, not only covering the food and drink of the tribes during the war, but also promising heavy rewards. Because if the People's Army could not be defeated, then the Dutch colonial government would have lost much more than it had to pay now.

In the end, a total of 13 tribes were willing to send troops to fight, and the total number of troops could reach more than 9,000 people, and with the addition of the Dutch colonial government's own army, the total number of troops was more than 13,000. The military force is not insignificant, but the number of 13 is an ominous number in European countries, so the colonial government also feels a little awkward.

However, although the indigenous forces are large, they basically use cold weapons, even if there is a little rifle, it is an old-fashioned single-shot rifle or a rifle, so the Dutch colonial government decided to take out the inventory of more than 1,800 spare rifles and distribute them to the tribes free of charge in proportion to enhance the strength of the tribes, but it is necessary for the tribes to bring people to Java before they will be distributed to them rifles, otherwise what if they run away with guns?

By this time, nine tribes had led their armies to Batavia, totaling more than 6,000 men, and received guns and the first reward money from the colonial government. However, the British fleet issued a warning to the colonial government, asking the colonial government to send troops as soon as possible.

In fact, at this time, there were still 5 days before the 15-day deadline agreed between the British fleet and the People's Army. 6 days, there was no need to be too anxious, but the People's Army continued to attack, not only made the natives feel the pressure, but also made the situation in Java further deteriorate, now some natives do not dare to plunder the Chinese, but turn the target to European merchants, now Batavia City contains more than 1,000 European merchants, including many British merchants, since the British fleet is here, so the British merchants have complained to the British fleet, asking the British fleet to come forward to put pressure and restore the stability of Java.

Of course, the British fleet could not fight, so there was only pressure on the colonial government, anyway, after you fought a battle, no matter who won or lost, the chaos in Java would end, so late was of course better than early.

As for the requirements of the British, of course, the Dutch colonial government did not dare to slack off, and now the colonial government is facing greater pressure than the British, and the tribes have basically negotiated, but some tribes are far away, and some tribes need time to prepare, so they did not arrive, and Bingbatavia is more than 60 kilometers away from the farm, and this battle is unlikely to end in one day, it is necessary to establish positions and headquarters on the front, so it is better to send troops immediately, establish positions on the front line first, and let the four tribes that have not yet arrived go directly to the front line to converge。

So the colonial government also announced that it would immediately send troops to attack the farms, and the existing forces were grouped, and the colonial government troops were organized into two armies, named the Government 1st Army and the Government 2nd Army, and there were 12 75mm field guns and 5 88mm * guns, organized into separate artillery, these three troops will be the main force of this battle, after all, these troops have undergone formal military training, and now the indigenous tribes that have arrived in Batavia are organized into the 1st Tribal Army. The 2nd army of the tribe, after the arrival of the remaining 4 tribes, will be organized into the 3rd army of the tribe as a paving force.

Early the next morning, the armies marched out of the city of Batavia in turn in the direction of the farm.

The People's Army basically understands the dynamics of the colonial government, and this is also thanks to Zhang Zhijun's tip-off in Batavia, of course, the People's Army has not done nothing, and now Zhang Zhijun can still be safe and sound in Batavia, and his actions are basically self-contained, which is also entirely the efforts of the People's Army.

Since the People's Army landed in Java, some people in Batavia advocated arresting Zhang Zhijun as a hostage and threatening the People's Army, because they all believed that the People's Army was attracted by the Zhang family, but the colonial government considered that the Zhang family's influence in Java was too great, and Zhang Zhenxun was also the consul of the Qing court in Singapore, once Zhang Zhijun was arrested, the influence caused was too great, so Zhang Zhijun was only confined to the city and forbidden him to go out.

However, as the People's Army moved more and more and more loudly, the calls for the arrest of Zhang Zhijun in Batavia became louder, and some even advocated that Zhang Zhijun should be executed immediately as a sign of the determination of the Dutch colonial government.

However, the British fleet demanded that the Dutch colonial government not retaliate against the Chinese in Batavia until the end of the battle, and the colonial government really did not dare to take action. Of course, more and more tribes have joined the colonial government, and the confidence of the colonial government has greatly increased, and they are not in a hurry to make a move against the Zhang family; anyway, they are in the city of Batavia, and their industries are also on the island of Java, so are they still afraid that they will fly into the sky? After defeating the People's Army, they will slowly clean up the Zhang family, and many officials of the colonial government have already set their eyes on the Zhang family's industry in Java, and a series of open and secret battles are being waged.

And Zhang Zhijun was also able to ensure his safety for the time being, and now he also knew that his fate had been tightly tied to the overseas Chinese, and only if the overseas Chinese won, he could be spared, so he spared no expense, promised a lot of money, bribed the middle and lower level staff of the Governor's Palace, as long as it was the news of the colonial government, no matter how big or small, all of them were collected, and at the same time exhausted all kinds of other channels, and reported the collected news to the People's Army through the infantry radio. As a result, the KPA was able to grasp the dynamics in Batavia.

Of course, after the large force of the People's Army arrived in Java, the People's Army did not only attack the indigenous tribes, but also did not relax the defense of the farm, and now the People's Army has captured more than 1,000 indigenous prisoners, and the Chinese who are sheltered are mostly young and middle-aged men, so there is no shortage of labor.

In terms of personnel, in addition to the KPA, the farm guard has been expanded to more than 800 people, and all of them have been issued with guns and weapons, and after the arrival of the large army, the KPA will bring a part of the farm guard in every operation, so that they can personally experience the battlefield and at least see blood, so the farm guard basically has a chance to fight, and can be used as an auxiliary force of the KPA.

In addition, the People's Army selected more than 1,000 relatively strong young and middle-aged men from the Chinese in the shelter, organized them into a security team, and gave them weapons such as knives and guns, but they were not allowed to go to the battlefield, but were responsible for maintaining order and safety on the farm, so as to prevent anyone from taking the opportunity to cause trouble. It can be said that the KPA is fully prepared and is only waiting for the war to begin.
