Chapter 861: The Red Bowl

The British army in Malaya surrendered, the Manchurian army completely occupied Malaya, and the British and French forces became dogs locked in the door in the Asian battlefield, and the British and French authorities were all very nervous. In addition to their old brothers, there are some outsiders who are also more nervous, and that is Spain and the Netherlands. These two were also members of the British Anti-China Front, but they only dared to follow and coax, and they never had the courage to follow Britain and France to go to war. Malaya was occupied by the Manchurian Army, and Britain and France were very uncomfortable, but in fact, these two brothers were even more uncomfortable than them.

The British troops in Hong Kong and the French troops in Vietnam, Cambodia, and Laos were all locked in the door this time, and there was no backup for attacking them, and the road was also blocked for retreating, and they completely became a lone army in the arms of others. The situation of the Netherlands and Spain is similar, East Asia has become the world of China and the little brothers, and the two outsiders are also in this circle, but it is very embarrassing. Spain can't fight and can't afford to fight, so it can only leave the big fat piece of the Philippines there to fate, but Indonesia, which is controlled by the Netherlands, still wants to struggle.

The Strait of Malacca is the maritime gateway of East Asia, and has been jointly managed by Manchuria, Britain and the Netherlands, with Britain occupying one side of the Indian Ocean on the north coast, Manchuria occupying the Pacific side of the north coast, and the entire south coast being owned by the Netherlands. Now that the Manchurian Army has completely occupied the Malay Peninsula, the Strait of Malacca has changed from the Romance of the Three Kingdoms to the Chu River and the Han Border. The relationship between the Kingdom of the Netherlands and the Manchurian Empire was okay before, and before the decisive battle between Manchuria and Britain of the century was known, eighty percent would not use troops against Indonesia. But this kind of peace situation is premised, that is, Indonesia cannot cover the British army, and cannot allow the British army to enter the Pacific Ocean from the Dutch-controlled waters, which is difficult for the Dutch.

The relationship between the Netherlands and Manchuria can only be said to be improvised, and their relationship with Britain is very good. In terms of national interests, the two countries were allies of Europe, and everyone had to work together to defend against Germany. Personally, the Dutch royal family and the British royal family have been relatives for hundreds of years, and if they break their bones, they still have tendons. Even ethnically, both families were Caucasian people who believed in Jesus Christ, but the Manchurian Empire was a yellow country with three religions in one. In any case, it was difficult for the Dutch to maintain absolute neutrality in the struggle between Manchuria and the British, and they must have helped the British. And where the British needed the help of their Dutch relatives the most, was to open the Strait of Malacca and give them access to the North Pacific.

The Manchurian Army, which controlled the Malay Peninsula, would certainly block the northern shipping lanes and closely monitor the central shipping lanes. The only way for the British Navy to pass through the Strait of Malacca was to enter the Dutch-controlled southern channel and pass through the Strait of Malacca under the cover of the Dutch. If the Netherlands did such a thing, they would definitely be discovered by the Manchurians, and the Manchurians would definitely not let them go, and Indonesia would definitely become a key target of attack by the Manchurian army. Even if the British don't go to the North Pacific, the Dutch can't get out of it either. If the British want to go to Australia or transfer troops from Australia, no matter where they are starting or where they are going, they need to resupply in Indonesia. If the Indonesian authorities provided the British with food, fresh water, coal and other military supplies, the Manchurians would not let them go.

The Dutch government was in a dilemma for a while, they could not help their relatives in Great Britain, but they could not really afford to provoke the Manchurians. Indonesia is too far from Europe, but too close to China. The powerful Manchurian army could launch an attack on Indonesia at any time, and with the strength and equipment of the Indonesian Dutch army, Indonesia would have fallen before the Netherlands could send reinforcements. What's more, the once famous Haishan coachmen are now just a small country in Europe, and they can't afford a war with hundreds of thousands of troops at every turn. The Dutch government is very anxious about the situation in East Asia, but they can't come up with any solution, and the only thing they can do is to spread their anxiety to Indonesia.

Indonesia is actually a one-sided name for Manchuria, and the British and Dutch do not call it that, they call this large archipelago the Dutch East Indies, or Dutch East Indies for short. Of course, Goxinga is too lazy to care what the British and Dutch call them, he is used to calling Indonesia, so these islands have to be called Indonesia. Sir Anthony, the Governor of the Indonesian authorities, communicated with the Manchurian government many times on the issue of this title, but the Manchurian government still ignored them. Through this incident, Anthony experienced the domineering of Manchuria.

Anthony became even more anxious when the anxiety spread to Indonesia because he was more aware of his current situation than the rest of the country. Since the establishment of the Lanfang Republic and the Manchurian Empire had an enclave in the South Seas, the small life of him and his predecessor has not stopped. The Nanyang Fleet had to wander around his house if it was fine, whether it was a routine cruise or a deliberate deterrent, in short, Sir Anthony knew very well how powerful the Manchurians were. Now that Southeast Asia is in full swing, it is not so easy for Indonesia to be detached.

In addition to the threat from the Manchurian Empire and the Republic of Lanfang, Indonesia was not at peace internally. Since the end of the Song Dynasty, a large number of Chinese have immigrated to Indonesia, and an independent Chinese community has now been formed. Although these big brothers are in Indonesia, they all have a sense of homeland, and they all love the motherland they have never seen before. As long as there is something going on in China, they have always been actively involved. When the Manchurian Empire arose, they donated a large amount of money, and they were also very concerned about all the wars related to China, not only donating money and materials, but also actively transmitting information. In the past, although the actions of the Chinese also endangered the rule of the Dutch government, after all, they had little to do with the Dutch, and now the Netherlands is also on the brink of war because of the British, and these Chinese are very dangerous.

Anthony is not Chinese, but he also understands the truth that the outside must first be inside, the Netherlands will go in that direction with the Manchurian Empire next, you can talk about it later, taking care of the Chinese community in the country is the top priority, but this is not something Anthony can do if he wants to. The Chinese are not the rulers of Indonesia, but they are also the people who live at the top of the pyramid, and more than 70% of Indonesia's wealth is controlled by them, and none of them are easy to deal with. Moreover, this matter cannot be brought forward by the government, if the Indonesian authorities come forward to sanction the Chinese in the territory, I am afraid that the Manchurian army and the Lanfang army on the other side of the strait will come over on the same day. Not to mention the Manchurian Army, it is difficult to say whether Anthony's Indonesian authorities can practice the Lanfang Republic alone, so dealing with the Chinese can only be a civilian act.

If you want to deal with the Chinese in Indonesia, it is actually a very simple thing. Everyone has a hatred of the rich, and the most significant characteristic of the Indonesian Chinese is that they are rich, which is naturally hated by the local natives. After the Dutch invaded Indonesia, the local natives had a hard time, but they could only endure it if they couldn't beat the Dutch. However, the Chinese who were also ruled could live well, and they earned a lot of money through their own wisdom and hard work, and lived a very good life, which made the natives very unbalanced. You are also ruled by the Dutch, why are you better off than me? Definitely because you're a bastard! Under the guidance of this bizarre thinking, the local natives inexplicably hated the Chinese, and every time the Indonesian authorities excluded the Chinese, they were the vanguard.

Anthony wanted the natives to trouble the Chinese, and he didn't need any sophisticated tricks at all, all the natives needed was an excuse. Indonesian authorities spread a rumor that nine Dayak elders had been killed by the Chinese. The specific names of these nine dead ghosts are not mentioned in the rumors, where they died, how many murderers there are, and what the result of the murderer is, it is also not said. It stands to reason that no one would believe such a boring rumor, but the Dayan people, who are obviously not a few elders, actually believed it, and began their revenge with great fanfare. The Dayaks placed red earthen bowls containing chicken or dog blood in front of many Chinese residences, which was a sign of revenge for the Dayaks, and it was the duty of any Dayak to enter the house and kill all the people inside. This behavior soon swept through the entire territory of Indonesia, and not only the Dayak people, but also the local natives who had nothing to do. Everyone gloated and began to mark the Chinese residence, and then discussed the date of the unified action.

The natives are so active, in addition to being jealous, they also want to fight the local tyrants and divide the land. The Chinese are too rich, so the natives are envious and jealous, so they want to grab a hand once they have the opportunity. If they find a reason, they will make trouble, kill a group of annoying Chinese, and then move the hard-earned wealth of the Chinese to their own homes. The natives of all ethnic groups gathered together, men, women and children were all overjoyed, and they were about to rob. It's exciting to think about killing all the hateful Chinese men, enjoying the beautiful Chinese women, and easily getting what they've been coveting for a long time.

The natives are gearing up, and the Chinese are not idle. No one is a fool, there are red bowls at the door of the house, and they are chicken blood and dog blood, and they are not ready to respond, are they waiting for the Taoist priest to do it! The Chinese also gathered together to discuss countermeasures, but the Chinese, who are accustomed to hard work and prosperity, are really not good at fighting, they have wives and children at home, and fighting has never been their solution to the problem. Fortunately, there are also some unscrupulous Chinese people in Indonesia, all of them are brothers of Sandianshui, and they are the best at fighting and making trouble.

"The brothers of Yishuntang, Yongxingtang, and Hongzhengtang are all ready, they are all brothers of three points of water, and they are all reliable!" The heads of several chambers of commerce in Jakarta and the bigwigs of local gangs are also holding their secret meetings.

"How many people are there?" Lu Siyong, the eldest brother of the rivers and lakes nicknamed Pushpin, was elected as the leader by everyone, and everything was commanded by him, so he naturally had to worry about everything.

"There are more than three hundred, all of them are equipped with two guns, and the ammunition is also ready!" Yi Shuntang's boss Wang Jiaqi is in charge of practice, so he knows best.

"Not enough! This time, the actions of the local people are not small, and there are many people we have to support, I am afraid that there are not enough people. In case foreign devils also intervene, it will be even more difficult to do! Lu Siyong pondered for a moment and shook his head again and again.

"That's all there can be done, I really can't make it up!" Wang Jiaqi also had no choice, his own sons were all on top.

"Gather the young and strong people of all families, and we will also act in unison to defend intensively. Brother on the waterway, make a hard trip, and then go to Lanfang to get a few batches of guns and bullets! Lu Siyong came up with a feasible solution, but he didn't know that the heroes were always the same, and almost all the leaders in Indonesia used this method.
