"Mr. Zhou, the scenery here is very different from Switzerland......

Zhou Nan sat at the bow of the boat, still holding Audrey, who was a little seasick, in his arms. Nodding his head, he said, "It's really different, except that the weather is a little unbearable, everything here is beautiful." ”

Borneo is surrounded by mountains and the third largest tropical rainforest in the world, and the island is surrounded by low and flat terrain with dense aquatic grasses and marshes, a small amount of land that is exposed to the water, and a variety of tropical trees and cultivated farmland.

This punt is the safest way to explore this rare tropical swamp.

Audrey was curious about the place, but she was always a little worried, because they had seen no less than five pythons along the way. This is indeed a little too exciting for those of them who rarely see such terrifying creatures.

But for Zhou Nan and the others, the giant python was extremely terrifying, but the locals were not afraid at all. Zhou Nan saw two children less than ten years old, still bare-bottomed, holding a python with a diameter of more than ten centimeters and a length of more than three meters, and quickly reported the good news to the adults.

Most of Europe is in the cold temperate zone, and although snakes are also available, they are very few in number. Unlike here, almost every few steps you can see different snakes, as well as crocodiles.

Although there are many poisonous snakes and crocodiles here, there are more kinds of birds and monkeys, and the residents here like to raise parrots, and Zhou Nan has seen several kinds of different parrot species alone.

As for the monkeys, the largest monkey in the world, the smallest monkey is grown here, and there are many monkeys that simply live like people in the homes of many residents.

There are no Swiss landscapes here, but there is a different kind of pristine beauty.

However, there is too little development here, and Zhou Nan did not dare to go deep into the primeval forest in the middle of the island, but only dared to take a tour along the rivers and swamps on the periphery.

The world's longest python is native to this area, and Zhou Nan doesn't want to become their delicacy just because of the scenery. Etinny and Stolco will definitely not let Zhou Nan enter any danger.

Audrey was not excited about this expedition because she was afraid of snakes and crocodiles, and even dared not see the pythons and crocodiles that often appear in the swamp.

On the way back, she breathed a sigh of relief, nestled in Zhou Nan's arms and whispered, "Do we have a chance to go to the beach to play?" ”

As an escort, Huang Jiecheng is the son of Huang Jiaqiang, because he has been in charge of the special wire work of the radio station, so he is more familiar with the surrounding environment, and he also studied in Germany, so he is called today's tour guide.

He has been paying special attention to the movements of Zhou Nan and his wife, and when he heard Audrey's question, he said with a smile: "Mrs. Zhou, don't worry, we have already arranged your itinerary, and we will naturally let you come over this time to see the beautiful scenery of our place." The beaches here in Pontianak are not pretty, so we don't have any special beach vacations, but both Mazen and Balikpapan have beautiful beaches. In particular, there are two small uninhabited islands off the coast of Bangka Island Penang with beautiful coconut groves and fine sandy beaches, which are well worth visiting. When you leave Asia, we have arranged a day for you to go on vacation to the island. ”

Zhou Nan smiled and teased Audrey, "Are you satisfied this time?" ”

Audrey laughed a little embarrassedly and thanked Huang Jiecheng.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, Zhou Nan and his family returned to the dock side of Pontianak in a flat-bottomed boat. After going home and changing their clothes, Zhou Nan and they were going to attend a dinner party held by Pontianak wealthy businessmen.

In the past few days, except in the morning, every day at noon and evening, in order to invite Zhou Nan to dinner, rich Chinese businessmen are vying for the place to treat guests. If you have a little less ability, you want to invite Zhou Nan to dinner, but you can't get in line.

However, the arrival of Zhou Nan is no longer the most important thing on the island, and at dinner, everyone discusses the Chinese soldiers who are about to go on the expedition.

Ten months have passed since the Netherlands decided to support the Chinese statehood. At a time when the Chinese were boiling over, the Dutch had already decided to help the Chinese train a group of soldiers in order to expand their influence in the Chinese army.

At present, the longest-training soldiers have been more than five months, and the shortest training has been three months. Except for the navy soldiers, who have not been able to form combat effectiveness at present, the soldiers of the army can already be pulled out to test the results.

After the massacre of Chinese on the island of Java, many trained Chinese soldiers went to war. It's just that until the opinions of the upper echelons are unified, these soldiers' requests for war are not granted.

The Chinese had now agreed to the Dutch that they would send an army into Java to protect the safety of Chinese property and at the same time to cooperate with the Dutch army in a unified war suppression.

The soldiers who are about to go out have received attention from all sides, and they have touched the hearts of all Chinese.

This was the first time that a formed Chinese army appeared in the East Indies since Lan Fangguo. There are currently less than 10 million Chinese in total, but it has built an army of 30,000 people, and even if they don't have family members, they have relatives who have joined the army.

What kind of tasks will they perform? Will there be a direct battle? It has become the main topic of discussion in the newspapers.

On 27 August, the parties to the meeting sat down again in the conference room, and the first thing to discuss was the operational and logistical arrangements for the Chinese soldiers.

The soldiers and horses did not move, and the grain and grass went first. In order to get the Chinese soldiers to be dispatched, the Dutch agreed to most of the conditions put forward by the Chinese.

In terms of weapons and equipment, and logistical subsidies, Chinese soldiers were able to receive the same treatment as Dutch soldiers. In terms of operational arrangements, it has a certain degree of autonomy, mainly to protect Chinese assets and assist the Dutch army in clearing the rear.

The reason why the Dutch were so cheerful was that they had gained the upper hand militarily, and now their military operations against the Javanese were not primarily military issues, but political ones.

The Chinese are on their side and can relieve them of countless pressures internationally, so they don't expect the Chinese to fight the Javanese directly.

Now, the willingness of the Chinese to enter the war has put much less pressure on the Dutch on the American side.

Moreover, in Borneo, there are also hundreds of thousands of Javanese, and if the Chinese fight directly with the Javanese at this time, I am afraid that there will be chaos within this country that has not yet been established for a while.

After two days of meetings, the arrangements for the Chinese soldiers to go to war were first decided, and then the battle of words between the two sides began.

During the three-day adjournment of the meeting, although Zhou Nan was relaxed, the two sides of the negotiations were always urgently discussing the state capitalist system proposed by Zhou Nan. Because this is the most important problem in this country at the moment, and even playing in the war is not as important as this.

In fact, after the initial consternation, both sides also accepted Zhou Nan's proposal in their hearts.

Complete capitalism is not feasible, because the Chinese in Southeast Asia are originally businessmen, and if there are no restrictions on them, the country will definitely become a freak in the future.

And complete socialism is not feasible, at least, the Dutch will not allow it. The big businessmen wouldn't agree, so why should they give up my wealth?

There is no soil for socialism at all, there is only a group of idealists who have been seduced by the Soviet Union.

Although state capitalism is a centralized political system, because of the existence of the suzerainty of the Netherlands, as long as individuals are not allowed to concentrate power in their own hands, the Dutch side is still willing to accept it.

Because this can quickly integrate the country's forces and accelerate the speed of development.

Of course, there are so many issues that need to be resolved and compromised with each other! Although there are not many professional politicians here, this is not a trick, and it takes a lot of effort from all walks of life to build a well-functioning country.

For example, just because of the name of a country, there is a lot of arguing from all walks of life. The Netherlands wants to be named a federation, some want to be called the United States, some want to be called a republic.

At first, the Dutch side wanted the Chinese to continue to use the previous name Lanfang, but they were opposed by the Chinese.

In the end, most people accepted the name Nanhua and the name of the Republic, but there was a lot of arguing over whether to add the word democracy to the name of the Republic of South China.

Zhou Nan doesn't have any good ways to deal with this, these things are all personal subjective issues, and if he wants others to accept his opinions, it's not just something that everyone can listen to.

He was also a little tired of such meetings, but he couldn't get out of it, because he was now the only mediator on both sides.

After two days of meetings, he came up with his previous plans for the new country, which he threw directly at the negotiating table during the negotiations.

"This is the constitution of the new state that I had conceived, including the national anthem, the national flag, and some of the constraints of the parliamentary system, and I hope you will study it carefully. If there is a better plan than mine, then put it forward, instead of being like now, I oppose your opinion, and you resolutely oppose my opinion, and there is no result in the quarrel in the end. And, personally, I think there should be a conference system. No matter who you are, you have the right to object, but while you are opposition, you have to come up with a better plan, and you can't oppose it because of opposition. ”

Stolko couldn't help but chuckle secretly, Jonas couldn't stand this endless noise again. The country had not yet been established, and the systems were not perfect, so there was a lack of constraints, and the consultation effect of the meeting was very low.

Accustomed to the Swiss government's case-by-case approach, it is indeed a headache to participate in such a meeting.

Before the negotiation table, Zhou Nan said again: "South China is a whole country, so the name of the Federation and the United States should not be mentioned again, and whether or not democracy can be discussed later, who has a better name than the Republic of South China now, if not, I personally think that the Republic of South China is a very good name!" ”

Cai Lao stood up with a smile and said, "It's better for us to vote directly on every issue, otherwise the efficiency will be too low." Now, if you recognize the name of the Republic of South China, please raise your hand ......"
