Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Divine Stick

A short, thin-faced old man stood up and asked loudly, "Mr. Zhou, may I ask what is the basis for your judgment?" Do you think that a well-armed Dutch army could not conquer the natives? ”

At this time, the Dutch were still very optimistic, not only had they sent 100,000 troops, but the British also sent 20,000 troops to the war, and 60,000 Indian troops were drawn to support. Although the current number is still less than that of the indigenous army, the difference is not much, not to mention that the Dutch still have the advantage in the navy.

Zhou Nan stabilized his body, raised his right hand supporting the table, and stretched out two fingers. "First, the defeat of the East Indies, they left behind a lot of weapons in the East Indies, including even some weapons manufacturing equipment. Second, the support of the CPSU, do you think the CPSU will watch you occupy another resource-rich and populous region? The era of conquest by force is over, and the Netherlands should learn from the British policy of appeasement and the American policy of economic control, rather than indulging in the superiority of force, which in fact is not worth mentioning. ”

Van Mark, the speaker of the House of Lords, knocked on the hammer, leaned closer to the microphone and said, "Please stay quiet, it is not the time to ask questions." Mr. Zhou, please continue your presentation......"

Zhou Nan shook his head and said: "The so-called speech is just a summary of some things that everyone understands, and I personally don't think these are important to you today." I would be more than happy to discuss with you the situation in the East Indies and how it will develop in the future, and I think that's what politicians are more concerned about. ”

He groaned for a moment, then looked up and glanced around the hall. "Then please Mr. Zhou take a rest first, we will vote now, if you are willing to continue to listen to Mr. Zhou's speech, please raise your hand......"

About half of them raised their hands.

He added: "If you are willing to discuss the situation in the East Indies with Mr. Zhou, please raise your hand......"

This time, almost everyone raised their hands, and the results spoke for themselves.

He took a breath before he went back to the rules of the meeting, and told the TV reporters to avoid and exit the hall.

Only then did he say: "The speech is from a high position, and the discussion is the detailed rules. The current Dutch war in the East Indies is not going well, and there is more focus on specific policy development and solutions. We are fortunate to have Mr. Zhou, an outstanding scholar with rich knowledge and global vision, if you have any questions, you can ask directly, and I hope that Mr. Zhou can give advice, and we will all remember Mr. Zhou's friendship. ”

Although he is not the prime minister of the government, he has the most power in the formulation of many policies, and many times, the prime minister of the government has to listen to him.

Zhou Nan originally came to mix private goods today, and of course he was happy with the effect now. He nodded and said, "I am honored to have this opportunity to discuss the situation in the East Indies with you, where there are millions of Chinese living in dire straits, and it is my honor as a Chinese to be able to contribute to them." Of course, I will not abandon my personal impartiality because the Netherlands is also my wife's country. ”

Van Mark said with a smile: "We will definitely consider your suggestion carefully, and whether it is adopted or not depends mainly on whether it is feasible." ”

This sentence directly points out that they don't care about Zhou Nan's involvement in private goods, because it is their business to listen to it or not.

Seeing that Zhou Nan nodded, he took the lead in asking: "Mr. Zhou just talked about the wave of national independence, and I very much agree with Mr. Zhou's point of view. But when it comes to the East Indies, it is not very suitable, because there are so many islands there that it is difficult to communicate with each other, and we only need to control the sea routes, and they will eventually succumb. ”

"Can the Netherlands control every big island? Will the Netherlands be able to stop the support of the CPSU? How many years, how many soldiers, how many resources is the Netherlands ready to fight this war? Without the support of the United Kingdom, I am afraid that the Netherlands would not be able to support it now! ”

In order to fight this war, the Netherlands had already promised Britain a lot before it was supported by the British. On their own, they really can't support this war.

He asked calmly, "Then what do you think is the most appropriate strategy right now?" ”

"The East Indies have not been a country since ancient times, and there are even countless hatreds for each other, and there are many islands that have never been in contact with each other at all. If Java wants independence, let him be independent. But the other islands are not them, the Netherlands can support the Aceh people to become independent in Sumatra, and the Chinese to become independent in Borneo, and if they want to be independent, I will become independent of three or even ten countries at once. At this time, the Netherlands can coordinate and control the economy between countries in the name of the suzerain, which is the best way to control a region for a long time. ”

Zhou Nan's words caused a burst of discussion in the field, this plan is actually not advanced, because in Africa, there are many regions that have implemented it in this way.

Originally, the Dutch unified the East Indies for their own convenience. They just wouldn't throw in the towel, they wouldn't bow their heads, thinking they could still control the East Indies.

Next, more and more people asked, and the questions asked became more and more detailed. It even involved how to use the power of the Chinese to contain the natives, how to profit from the Soviet-American struggle, and so on.

Zhou Nan was confident about all the questions and answered them one by one, and his answers also made the people on the scene very satisfied. Although Zhou Nan was somewhat biased towards the Chinese, it was true that the war was beneficial to the Dutch position.

With the experience of later generations, Zhou Nan has considered all future changes in the situation and has corresponding countermeasures. Not at all like the people of this era, with the fog of history in front of them, they don't know how to choose.

However, it does not mean that Zhou Nan is smarter than others, purely in terms of intelligence, he can mix into the upper echelons of a country, and all of them are more comprehensive than Zhou Nan.

Many have recognized that after the Second World War, the old colonial powers were weakened, and the international pattern of Eurocentricity that had been formed for centuries had been broken, and now two superpowers, the Soviet Union and the United States, were formed.

Moreover, most of the third world countries also experienced World War II and produced a large number of soldiers. The development of industry and science and technology has also cultivated a large number of working class and intellectuals in these countries.

In the past, there was not even a single party in the East Indies, but in the whole of Southeast Asia, there were nearly 100 parties, and these were the basis for national independence.

In the past, colonial rule was imposed mainly on the peoples of Asia, Africa and Latin America by force of conquest. The new technological revolution after World War II made the hegemonic colonial rule unable to meet the requirements of modern production, and it was not conducive to the profits of the suzerain.

After the failure of Britain to use troops in India and Egypt and France to suppress national liberation movements in Indochina and Algeria, they turned to a strategy of recognizing political independence and focusing on economic penetration in the old colonies, rather than embracing force as in the past.

These are also examples for the Netherlands.

But this war still had to be fought, because if it was not fought, then the Netherlands would be directly out of control, unlike Britain and France, which could still control the local economy.

However, many of the plans given by Zhou Nan are indeed very feasible, which also gives enough inspiration to the follow-up actions of the Netherlands.

After the morning meeting, Van Marker and the others specially invited Zhou Nan to lunch, and exchanged quite a lot of opinions and opinions in private.

Jean Nord is the most excited one, in the past, he was in Europe, at most he was just a rich man in a small place, when did he enjoy the direct hospitality of the leader.

The more scenery Zhou Nanyue has, the greater the potential in the future, which also directly proves his unique vision.

And Etinny seems to have gotten used to it and doesn't have too many surprises.

In fact, he has been numb by Zhou Nan's knowledge system of what he wants every time.

Even if Zhou Nan said that there were aliens and the world would be destroyed in the future, he was convinced.

It was already three o'clock in the afternoon when they returned to the hotel, and Audrey and her mother had already returned from the palace and packed their bags.

Zhou Nan just went back to his room to solve his physiological problems, then went downstairs again, hurriedly got into the car, and headed for the harbor of Rotterdam, thirty kilometers away.

Although Dutch officials have been assuring that they will not arrive, cruise ships to the UK will definitely not depart. But Zhou Nan still didn't want a boatload of people to wait for them, they would be scolded.

The convoy entered Rotterdam, a city that had all but disappeared from the ground in World War II and the largest seaport in the Netherlands, still in ruins.

Even so, the Dutch sent an army of 100,000 men to conquer Asia. At the peak of the future, a total of 180,000 soldiers were dispatched, but in the end it was only a failure.

Zhou Nan believed that by the end of the first phase of the war, that is, in November of this year, they would definitely consider their proposals carefully and possibly accept them in full.

If this is the case, the Chinese people will definitely have a more relaxed and free living environment.

On the cruise ship, Zhou Nan and his entourage lived in the predetermined first-class cabin, so that they had time to see the gifts from the Dutch.

And Zhou Nan's boiling heart slowly calmed down, and today can be said to be the most exciting day since he got his memory, because every word today may affect the fate of countless people in the future.

This feeling of excitement is not at all something that he can suppress in his current state of mind, no wonder there are so many people who are obsessed with power, this feeling is indeed extremely intoxicating.

But Zhou Nan also knows very well that he is not suitable for politics at all, because he is not a person who likes to complicate simple life by nature.

In terms of intrigue, he is not as good as others.

He can only rely on his own memory to act as a magic stick, which is the most in line with his own positioning.

However, he was satisfied to be able to make such a great contribution to his nation.
