Chapter Eighty-Six: Unification of Ideas is the Most Difficult

At nine o'clock in the evening, Zhou Nan took Stolko and Etinny to help them board a Constellation passenger plane provided by the Dutch government. He was accompanied by two representatives of the Dutch government, one of the British government, and four specially arranged guards of the Swiss government.

The rest of the places were all allocated to a group of Chinese politicians studying in the Netherlands, and when such a big event happened, they couldn't stay in Europe anymore and wanted to go back to witness the historic moment.

Whatever the final decision, this is an important moment for the Chinese to reassert their voices in Southeast Asia.

Even those students couldn't help it, and one by one they shouted that they wanted to return to China to serve and fight the enemy together. However, they were scolded by Chen Zhongqing, and they became honest.

Choosing this time to board the plane is also for reasonable itinerary arrangement. From Switzerland to the East Indies, the entire flight to bypass the Soviet-controlled area is almost 12,000 kilometers, and even for Constellation aircraft, it is necessary to refuel at least twice.

Boarding at this time allows the first refueling to be scheduled in Jerusalem, which is still under British control, just in the morning.

The second refueling was scheduled in Mumbai, India, when it was not yet completely dark. Because of the poor facilities of the airport and the backward electronic equipment of this era, it is not a big problem to take off at night, but the plane landing is the most prone to accidents.

Therefore, the time for both refueling times must be scheduled during the day, but they fly against the sun, and the day will pass quickly. In order to be safe, every step must be thought through.

They will have a short break in Mumbai, set off overnight, and then arrive in Pontianak on the morning of the third day.

The speed of the plane is now half as slow as it was in the jet age, and it takes about 30 hours to reach Pontianak, which is already the fastest speed.

This morning we were in Rome and back to Switzerland in the afternoon, but this time we had to follow Italy into the Mediterranean.

In order to allow Zhou Nan to rest well during the journey, only sixty people were arranged on this plane that could seat sixty-four people, and a row of seats was specially vacated for Zhou Nan and Audrey.

Not long after they set off in Zhounan, the East Indies, seven hours earlier than Switzerland, had already ushered in the dawn of the morning.

Bundles of newspapers were distributed to the distribution point, and the newsboys lined up to receive the newspaper while listening to the routine briefing of the distribution point supervisor.

"There is only one major news today, that is, after Mr. Zhou Nan heard about the Surabaya tragedy, he worked hard to write the next 'book on the blood of the nation'. Mr. Zhou Nan called on all of us Chinese compatriots to unite as one, take up the weapons in our hands, and protect our relatives and brothers, as well as our hard-earned property. A new country will be established, and from now on, we Chinese will have our own country and army in this land, and we will no longer be lambs under the guns of the other party! ”

The same scene appeared at every newspaper distribution point, and a group of young newspaper boys who were not deeply involved in the matter, hearing such news, also felt a warm current and full of strength.

"Nanyang Siang Pao", "Sin Chew Daily", almost all newspapers and periodicals in Southeast Asia published the manuscript that Zhou Nan wrote only yesterday on the front page.

Before they came to Asia, the whole of the East Indies was boiling over one of his articles.

Especially in Borneo, regardless of whether they have family members in Java, they have also donated money and materials to show their support for revenge.

In Yamaguchiyang, in several Chinese military camps in Pontianak, 20,000 Chinese soldiers who received military training from the Dutch were even more enthusiastic because of a manuscript by Zhou Nan.

Many soldiers went to Java to protect their compatriots and protect the property belonging to the Chinese.

"Mr. Zhou Nan has said that we can't be weak anymore, and we can't be bullied anymore!"

"If the Javanese guerrillas do not hand over the main murderers of our Chinese, we will declare war on them."

"Not a declaration of war...... You idiot. We are not yet a country, and there is no such thing as a declaration of war. We are only targeting the murderers, not all Javanese. ”

"Yes, it's revenge!"

Borneo has the highest proportion of Chinese in Southeast Asia, half of them are Chinese, and only half of them are other ethnic groups.

After the relaxation of household registration management from the Netherlands and the free movement of people of all nationalities, a large number of Chinese came here by boat to establish their own country belonging to the Chinese.

There are also many other ethnic groups where the middle class has left, but most of the poor are dependent on the Chinese. For them, as long as they can eat enough, it doesn't matter which country they are from.

Today, there are nearly five million Chinese living in Borneo, and most of the rest are scattered throughout South Borneo, except for a few hundred thousand living in British-controlled areas.

There are the largest number of Chinese in Pontianak, the temporary capital, and most of the Chinese who have migrated from other places are currently living here.

The law of the new country, the allocation of resources, these news also spread from here to all parts of Borneo for the first time.

However, the media here is not well developed, and several major media outlets are from Malaysia and Star City. However, these media are also under the control of the Chinese, and they are naturally biased towards the Chinese.

The establishment of the Chinese nation on the island of Borneo has also greatly stimulated the Chinese people in Malaysia. Within a few months, hundreds of Chinese political groups had been formed across Malaysia, and their sole appeal was to fight for national independence.

However, the environment in Malaysia is more complex than in the East Indies, and there is a mixture of Chinese and Bumiputera in all parts of Malaysia, with Chinese in every place, but most of them are not demographically dominant.

At present, only Penang, Malacca, Kuching, Star City and the capital Kuala Lumpur have more than half of the Chinese population.

Because the Chinese control the economy of Malaysia, almost all the cities are in the hands of the Chinese, and even these Chinese people can't make up their minds where to give up and where to move.

The founding of the Chinese state also had a great effect, that is, it eased the tension between the Chinese and the British, and even the Chinese Red Party has recently become much calmer, no longer fighting with the British, and has begun to seek dialogue.

The Soviet Union's revolutionary output influenced a large number of Chinese, and the Red Party guerrillas have always regarded the Dutch and British as enemies, and the British and Dutch also regard the Chinese Red Party guerrillas as their number one enemy.

It is because of their actions that after World War II, when the tide of national independence was in full swing. The Chinese not only did not win the right to establish a state, but became the target and victim of repression.

It was not until the sixties that the Western forces gained the upper hand, slaughtering hundreds of thousands of Chinese and then closing almost all Chinese schools, and since then, the power of the Chinese has been greatly reduced.

Now the founding of Borneo has eased the attitude of these Chinese Red Parties, and it has also directly affected the changes in the local situation. The Soviet Union, of course, did not want to see this happen, and they also increased their forces to threaten and propagate the revolution among other peoples.

This world is always full of poor people and few rich people, and their set has a market at all times.

Nowadays, people have limited knowledge and limited social levels of contact, and most of them are idealists. Therefore, many people are easily seduced and cannot get out of the horns.

The Soviets in this era have fallen into dogmatism and cannot get out, and those who have been taught are, of course, some dogmatists.

The purpose is good, however, the method is absolutely wrong.

For the sake of unrealistic ideals, sacrificing the happiness of the present, for the sake of so-called equality, sacrificing a stable and prosperous life. This is a path that seems to be light, but it is dark.

During his journey to Asia, Zhou Nan has been thinking about how to unify everyone's minds. The economic strength of the Chinese in the East Indies is sufficient, but the number is too small, and the overall strength is very weak.

The strength is already weak, and if it is still divided, it will only make its situation more difficult.

Just like Chen Zhongqing, although he is a businessman and his family is also a so-called big capitalist, he is on the left.

There are many more idealists like him, and it is more difficult than anything to convince them to keep their feet on the ground and develop step by step.

Those who have the experience of later generations naturally know that the goal of communism is good, but the road to achieve it is very long. There is no country in this world that can go straight to the end, on the contrary, they all fall halfway through.

However, in this era, the communist cause was in full swing, and the Soviet Union relied on intensive development, and in just 30 years, it changed from a serf country to an industrial power.

This rate of development far exceeds that of the capitalist countries.

There is the example of the Soviet Union, whose revolutionary output is so popular. Who would have thought that decades later, they would fall with a bang!

Politics and economics are inseparable, but the economic model must not be completely controlled by the government, which will only hatch an absolute monopoly of power.

However, a completely free economy is also by no means feasible. Because the capitalists who lose control will only become a hungry wolf and devour everything.

Zhou Nan re-read some of the ideas he had written down before, then picked up his pen again and wrote a title: On Communism and Capitalism.

This is the first time he has positively commented on these two different political systems, and even if his evaluation is objective, not sharp criticism, but only analysis, he knows that if this article is published, he will definitely become the center of the storm of public opinion.

However, in order to unite the Chinese forces in Borneo, he had to quell the signs of internal division before the contradictions fully erupted.

This country is still too weak to afford to toss!
