Chapter 113: Local Decision-Making
The battle between the Yan and Zheng families has been sent back to the mainland in the form of telegrams, after all, Yan Jianye is the first chess piece supported by Australia in the Ming Dynasty, and this chess piece suddenly did not listen to the call, no matter how it is said, it must be reported to the local executive committee.

However, fortunately, Australia's investment in this chess piece is not large, and once it cannot be recovered, it will not lose too much, but it is a little difficult to find such a chess piece again, so the executive committee also attaches great importance to the battle between the two families.
On the surface, the battle between Yan Jianye and Zheng Zhilong will not affect Australia, but on the whole, if Yan Jianye fails, Zheng Zhilong will dominate the Japanese market, which will definitely affect Australia's interests in Japan.
At this time, Zheng Zhilong can tell the Australians with a big chip that they will not infringe on Australia's interests, nor will they cross the river and tear down the bridge, but can Lao Zheng's words be believed, obviously he can't believe it, if the country surnamed Ye said such a thing, maybe he can be reluctantly trusted, after all, his character is not bad in history, as for Zheng Zhilong, it is much worse.
After dominating the Japanese market, Zheng Zhilong can completely blackmail Australia to lower the shipping price and give him more profit margins, this kind of thing he has not done, but the difference is for those businessmen in the mainland of the Ming Dynasty.
"Without Yan Jianye's restraint, he might have done this, the Zheng family is the biggest local warlord in the Ming Dynasty, and his existence can be said to be a danger to the Ming court."
In the office of the Executive Committee, everyone expressed their opinions, mainly on the impact on the Japanese market.
Although the Japanese market does not account for one-tenth of Australia's total exports, the potential market for the future is very large.
"The Spaniards put forward a proposal to unite against Zheng Zhilong, but Zhou Yang rejected it, at this stage our military at sea is almost zero, and it is impossible to participate in the war, which Zhou Yang knows very well."
The Perfect is being renovated, other ships are being built, and naval soldiers are training, and it is indeed impossible for Australia to send warships to participate in the battle, so not participating is one of the ways to ensure that their details are not exposed, and another is to make the Spaniards and Zheng Zhilong confused.
Zheng Zhilong had clearly ceded some of his interests in the earlier negotiations, and these interests were all tangible interests, and what could be seen and felt was much better than the illusory things offered by the Spaniards.
It should be clear that the contradictions between Spain and the Dutch have become more and more serious, and it is obvious that the Spaniards want Australia to intervene in Dayuan Island and participate in the situation of common confrontation with the Dutch, which is not in Australia's interests.
At this stage, the cooperation between Australia and the Dutch is more than cooperation, and the two sides will sign an alliance agreement in the near future, which will strengthen the deep cooperation between the two sides, and will further expand Australia's sphere of influence and influence in Southeast Asia.
Obviously, the Spaniards did not know that if they had known that there would be a deeper cooperation between the Netherlands and Australia, they would probably not have participated in the Yan Zheng controversy as they are now, but would have put their forces on guarding against the Dutch.
The Dutch expansion in the Far East was unstoppable, and as for the rising English, the main power was still concentrated in the Indian subcontinent.
"Let's talk about it, what kind of role do we play in the dispute between Yan and Zheng, if it is just a verbal warning, I am afraid that Zheng Zhilong may not be able to fulfill his promise, and the necessary military deterrence is still needed."
Military deterrence first needs ships, and it is certain that deterrence on land without warships will not do much.
Wu Zhengdao thought about it, in fact, it is not impossible to solve this problem, military deterrence, Australia can't do it, but the Dutch can do it, the Dutch's strength on Dayuan Island is there, as long as they have a move, then Zheng Zhilong will definitely be cautious.
The battle between Zheng Zhilong and the Dutch is not a day or two, as early as when the Dutch stepped into this land, there have been conflicts with him, and there are no less than dozens of battles between the two sides, to fight against the encirclement of several forces, I am afraid he does not have the courage yet, after all, he does not know if the Australians will suddenly appear.
"Using the conflict between the Dutch and Zheng Zhilong for military deterrence, but will the Dutch do this, will they be involved in this matter?"
Some people still have some reservations about the idea put forward by Wu Zhengdao, after all, the Dutch are not stupid, although they are the hegemon in Southeast Asia, but the English behind them have been watching it, maybe when they will run to their lair and shoot away.
"In my opinion, the Dutch will definitely have a military operation, and the Spaniards will definitely go to join in the fun if the Spaniards are involved, at this time, Zheng Zhilong will definitely deal with Yan Jianye very carefully, once the handling is too heavy, causing our dissatisfaction, it will be a joint attack from the four sides, his number of ships is large, and he may not be able to resist the joint attack of the four sides, so I think the best way at present is to wait and see what happens, and don't do anything."
As the commander of the navy, Wang Tiezhu's view of military deterrence is different from that of others, and his starting point is to look at it from the perspective of military commanders, while Wu Zhengdao is from the perspective of national interests.
However, there seems to be some truth in what he said, with the character of the Dutch, they will definitely be involved in this matter, but what the final result will be, it really depends on the development of the situation, maybe the Dutch will take this opportunity to start another war against Spain.
But in terms of interests, the Dutch also want to gain access to the Japanese market, and they are also very dissatisfied with Zheng Zhilong's monopoly on the Japanese market, so it is very likely that when Yan Zheng starts a war, he may be stabbed in the back.
At this time, Zheng Zhilong and a group of generals are training sergeants in an intense and orderly manner, in addition to increasing daily drills, but also to implement 24-hour monitoring of Yan Jianye in Macau, once there is any news, it must be reported immediately, and the core members of Zheng Zhilong Group will carry out the latest strategic deployment according to this news.
In addition to monitoring Yan Jianye, the Dutch and the Australians are their main targets for monitoring, once these two forces enter the war, he has no absolute chance of winning, so at present he can only try to maintain a state of peace with these two forces, at least the Australians have not shown that they want to participate, but the current movements of the Dutch are still unknown, they have stationed fifteen ships on Dayuan Island, which is not a small force, once it intervenes, I am afraid it will affect the war situation.
