Chapter 653: Evacuation of Overseas Chinese (5)

After receiving the report from the congren, Rosburu was also very surprised, I don't know why at this time, Qian Guoyu and Zhang Zhijun actually came to visit him?

To be honest, Rosburu is also very nervous these days, because the Netherlands is one of the members of the Far East Expeditionary Force, and it can be said that it is now hostile to the East China government, and he really did not expect that the British Far East Fleet was defeated by the overseas Chinese fleet, so when the overseas Chinese fleet arrived in Java, Rosbro thought that his end had come. Fortunately, the evacuation fleet did not trouble the colonial government, and Rosburu also strictly restrained the Javanese officials, troops, and natives.

Finally waited until the evacuation fleet was about to leave Java, Rosburu just breathed a sigh of relief, that Zhiqian Guoyu and Zhang Zhijun came to visit him, it was difficult that they planned to kill themselves before leaving? But after thinking about it, if the other party really wanted to kill him, it would not be just these two people who came, but directly brought the army to kill, so he should still be safe, so Roseblue immediately ordered someone to invite the two to his reception room.

After the two sides were seated, Rossburu said, "Is there anything wrong with the two of you seeing me?"

Qian Guoyu said: "Mr. Governor, I have something to say directly, our current relationship is actually a hostile relationship, and there is no need to be polite, this time we came to Java to pick up the overseas Chinese evacuation, and we do not plan to do anything to Java, so you can rest assured that we will not be unfavorable to you this time." ”

Rosburu laughed a few times and said, "Personally, I am peace-loving, so I am very sorry about this result, but ......"

Qian Guoyu interrupted: "Mr. Governor, we are here to visit you, not to talk such nonsense, we will leave Java the day after tomorrow, but there is still a group of overseas Chinese who did not leave with us, they will continue to stay in Java, I know that there are many people in Java who are staring at the wealth of overseas Chinese now, and they are planning to start robbing as soon as we leave." ”

Rosburu felt a pang in his heart, and hurriedly said: "No, no, no, no, there will never be such a thing, overseas Chinese have made great contributions to the economic prosperity of Java, and the Governor's Office will never allow this to happen, of course, there were indeed some attacks against overseas Chinese some time ago, but it was only an individual act, and the Governor's Office has taken effective measures to ensure that there will be no more such a situation." ”

Qian Guoyu shook his head and said, "I just said, there is no need to say these diplomatic words anymore, and I am not a diplomat." What I want to say is that after we leave, of course we can't control what you want to do, but I would like to remind Mr. Governor of the old Chinese saying, be a man and leave a line, so that we can meet in the future. ”

Roseblue was stunned for a moment, and his face finally became serious, and he said, "What does this mean." ”

Qian Guoyu said: "Mr. Governor must think that the expeditionary force will definitely be able to win after it arrives, but I want to remind Mr. Governor that there is no absolute thing on the battlefield, what if the expeditionary force is defeated?"

Rossburu's face also changed slightly, he really believed that after the expeditionary force arrived in the Far East, it would definitely be able to defeat the East China government, and he didn't think that the expeditionary force would fail at all, but Qian Guoyu's words really reminded him, what if the expeditionary force was really defeated by the East China government? Before that, he didn't believe that the British Far East Fleet would be defeated by the overseas Chinese fleet, but what was the result?

However, Rosburu also knew that now the merchants and natives of various countries in Java had already sharpened their knives, and they were impatient, just waiting for the evacuation fleet to leave, and then began to act against the remaining overseas Chinese, although he was the governor of Java, it was impossible to stop their actions, otherwise these businessmen could join forces to remove themselves from power, because these businessmen had great energy in the country, enough to influence the Congress.

At this time, Qian Guoyu seemed to see his embarrassment, and said: "I know that Mr. Governor is impossible to be in Java, even if he wants to stop it, I am afraid that he has more than enough heart and not enough strength." ”

Roseblue listened, and hurriedly nodded: "Yes, yes, I can't control it." ”

Qian Guoyu said: "If you just rob the property and wealth of overseas Chinese, forget it, but it's best not to make trouble, because blood debts must be paid with blood, at least before the results of this battle come out, don't easily kill them." Since they are members of the Zhang family, we hope that if one day we return to Java, every one of them will be safe. Otherwise, we would have waited for our revenge, and the colonial government would not have been able to escape it. ”

Rosburu is also a smart person, at this time he still does not understand the meaning of Qian Guoyu, that is, the property of overseas Chinese can be robbed at will, but do not kill, because they are from the Zhang family, because if the East China government wins, and then kills back to Java, then everything that has been robbed can be recaptured, and the relationship between the two sides is restored and relaxed, leaving room for relaxation; and if a large number of overseas Chinese casualties are caused, then the two sides will completely lose the space for reconciling, and after the East China government wins, Java will face the amazing anger and crazy revenge of the East China government。

Although Rosburu can't stop foreign businessmen and natives from snatching the property of overseas Chinese, it is still possible to reduce the casualties of overseas Chinese, after all, businessmen from various countries only pay attention to the industry of overseas Chinese, and are not interested in killing people, and the natives may be more murderous, but Rossburu asks himself that he is still an aboriginal who can be managed, of course, it can't be said that not a single overseas Chinese will be killed, but it is completely possible to control the number of dead overseas Chinese at a low number. As for the East China government's request to protect the Zhang family's stay in Java, it is also very easy to do, and simply arresting all of them and imprisoning them in a centralized manner is actually a kind of protection in disguise. However, as soon as the news of the East China government's unfavorable war is learned, then these measures can be canceled entirely.

So Rosburu nodded and said, "Okay, I'll do my best." ”

Qian Guoyu also nodded, to do this, the East China government can be said to be the most righteous, whether it can play a restraining role in the Javanese colonists and natives, can only be resigned to fate, so Qian Guoyu also got up to say goodbye and left with Zhang Zhijun.

The two walked out of the gate of the Governor's Palace, and Zhang Zhijun immediately bowed to Qian Guoyu and said, "Colonel Qian, thank you for the government's blessing to my Zhang family and all overseas Chinese in Java. ”

Qian Guoyu said: "Mr. Zhang is welcome, these things are what we should do." In fact, we fully understand the behavior of these overseas Chinese, and the foundation accumulated over several lifetimes is sure to be difficult to abandon, but our current strength is indeed limited and we cannot protect the overseas Chinese who remain in Java, so we can only do this, I only hope that our last warning can have an effect, so that the overseas Chinese who remain in Java can have less suffering, but you can rest assured, after this war, we will definitely be able to return to Java, and then slowly settle accounts. ”

Zhang Zhijun also sighed and said, "It is commendable that the East China government can do this. Colonel Qian doesn't have to blame himself either. ”

At this time, it was getting late, so the two returned separately, Qian Guoyu went straight back to his home, and his wife Li Lihua had already prepared dinner and was waiting for him. Seeing that Qian Guoyu was back, Li Lihua immediately asked the maid to serve dinner, and the two of them dined.

At the dining table, Qian Guoyu said: "Have you packed up all your things? We will be on the ship tomorrow afternoon, and we will spend the night on the ship tomorrow night." ”

Li Lihua smiled: "Don't worry, it's already been cleaned up." ”

Qian Guoyu nodded and said, "Did your family say hello, what is their attitude?" ”

Li Lihua hesitated for a moment before saying: "For this matter, there was a lot of argument in the family, and in the end, it was grandpa who came forward to suppress the voices of others and decided not to come forward to rob this time." After a pause, he said, "But Dad also handed over the right to operate the farm." ”

It turned out that after receiving the order from China, Qian Guoyu immediately negotiated with Li Lihua, saying that Li Lihua could stay in Java, because although Li Lihua had Chinese ancestry, she had never returned to China, and at the same time, she also opened an orphanage in Java and adopted more than 100 orphans, so there was no need to go back with her. And after marrying Qian Guoyu, Li Lihua's family was originally very marginalized in the family, and their status has also increased significantly, Li Lihua's father took over the operation of a farm, and Li Lihua's orphanage was also included in the family's public welfare industry, and the family can get money, and the economy has improved greatly, which is the time to rise. Bi Jing will be able to come back for a year at most. But Li Lihua rejected Qian Guoyu's suggestion and was willing to return to China with Qian Guoyu.

However, Qian Guoyu proposed to the Smith family that he hoped that after the evacuation of the overseas Chinese fleet left, the Smith family would not participate in the competition for overseas Chinese assets, because when the East China government returned to Java, the looted property would not only have to be spit out, but also would definitely lose more, so he would not take care of the Smith family, on the contrary, if the Smith family did not participate in the competition for overseas Chinese assets this time, then there would definitely be greater benefits in the future.

Qian Guoyu's request caused great repercussions in the Smith family, because there were indeed many people in the family who were ready to eat a full meal in this gluttonous feast, and they were naturally dissatisfied with Qian Guoyu's attitude. However, the patriarch Smith Bijing is still a knowledgeable person, and after weighing the pros and cons, he finally agreed to Qian Guoyu's request, but in order to balance the interests of the family, he could only take back the farm taken over by Li Lihua's father and transfer it to someone else to operate.

When Qian Guoyu heard this, he was also a little apologetic in his heart, and said, "I'm sorry, I have affected my father this time." ”

Li Lihua smiled slightly and said, "It's okay, anyway, this farm was not ours in the first place, just take it back, just let my father help me take care of the orphanage during this time, and I can leave with confidence." ”

Qian Guoyu also nodded and said, "Don't worry, at most one year, we may definitely return to Java, and at that time, Dad will be reused." ”
