Chapter 163: War

August 28, before the time for the ultimatum in South China. The Javanese side still did not respond to the Palembang incident, but only called on the South Chinese side to calm down.

In reality, they were unlikely to respond much, because the Dutch were so desperate that their guerrilla headquarters had been reduced to pieces and hidden in the mountains of Sumatra and Java.

Moreover, the guerrillas were also divided within themselves, capturing hundreds of Javanese guerrillas who attacked Palembang, from different regions, and no one dared to come forward to take responsibility.

At 7 o'clock in the morning of the 28th, a full week after the attack, without any effective explanation, Pan Zhicheng delivered a radio speech on behalf of all walks of life in South China.

At this moment, everyone in Nanhua was in front of the radio, wanting to know what choice the government would make.

When Pan Zhicheng said: "In view of the fact that no one from all walks of life in Java has given an effective reply, I declare on behalf of the South China government: From today, the Palembang area will implement wartime control, and all ethnic groups and everyone must obey the unified control of the South China government, and any act of resistance will be regarded as an enemy." ”

There were deafening cheers from the streets, and thousands of students were also cheering on the school square of the University of South China, and many students who were full of emotions shed tears of excitement.

For hundreds of years, the Chinese have been the target of bullying in this land. But because there was never an army of their own, they could only suffer in silence.

But from this moment on, they know that such times have passed.

Because of their disobedience to the Dutch's distribution scheme, the Javanese have not yet formed their own government and have not established a state. Since there was no statehood, there was no such thing as a declaration of war.

The South China government's military control plan is actually a declaration of sovereignty over the region.

In the simplest words: if you don't accept it, then let's fight!

The more shocking announcement came from South China Justice Chen Zhongqing, who read in a majestic voice in the subsequent broadcast that the South China government had pronounced the sentence of more than 200 Javanese captured and all of them were shot!

After his announcement, the street was silent for a full two seconds before the people cheered.

At this time, countless people regretted that they did not go to Palembang now and could not witness the feat of more than 200 people being executed.

And many countries did not expect that Nanhua would be so tough this time, and none of the criminals caught were suspended or imprisoned, and all of them were directly executed.

And in Palembang, people who had been panicked a week ago are now pouring out of their homes. Hopefully, I could make it to Bukit Lama Hill on the southern outskirts of the city and witness the execution of those violent elements.

However, the entire neighborhood has been cordoned off by the army, who have guarded all the streets, urging people not to crowd and cause a stampede.

The footage of the execution will be filmed and broadcast on South China Television in the evening, and people can watch the execution on TV if they find a place with a TV.

On the 21st, more than 500 Javanese armed with steel knives, steel pipes, and a small number of guns of various kinds launched a surprise attack in the center of Palembang.

On that day, more than 200 people died on the spot, more than 100 were seriously injured, nearly 100 people died, and dozens of people were seriously disabled.

In addition, 600 people were slightly injured or disabled, and the losses were heavy.

But less than a hundred of the attackers escaped, and the rest were either killed on the spot or captured.

At the beginning, the government also treated these murderers, which caused a large part of the population to be dissatisfied.

Many thought that the government would be weak.

But no one thought that this time the government would be so tough, and it would not be happy to screen at all, as long as it was the murderer who participated in the riot, whether you killed or not, all of them would be shot!

However, this is just the beginning. Palembang, which has been under military control, has been conducting a general inventory of the entire region since the 28th. Every house, every person, is re-registered and screened by the government.

Once the complex situation in Palembang has been stabilized, the inventory will spread to other areas and to the northwest, ending in the Logan River basin across Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

This was also the recognition of the international community that Nanhua had paid for countless conditions, for which Nanhua sent most of its troops to this area, and with the help of the Netherlands, completely blocked the waters of the East Indies.

The current Javanese are not the Indonesians of the future, they have no war resources, no warships, no aircraft, no artillery, and even most of the guns are still left by the Japanese.

Although the United States and the Soviet Union later provided them with a lot of weapons, the supply of ammunition became a problem again.

Otherwise, their tens of millions of people would not have been torn apart by tens of thousands of Dutch, and even the capital of Yogyakarta would have been occupied by the Dutch.

In another life, if it were not for the coercion of the United States, the Dutch would have recaptured the East Indies, but were finally forced to withdraw from the region and release all the captured Javanese leaders.

But in this life, with the rise of Nanhua, now Nanhua is politically biased towards the West and opposed to the red wave.

Moreover, the Chinese have a higher level of education and have closer transactions with Europe and the United States, and now they not only cooperate with Europe and the United States in business, but even choose to peg their currencies to the US dollar.

The United States, of course, will now choose South China over support the Javanese.

This change of stance has also put the Javanese people in a desperate situation.

Although the Soviet Union was still able to provide some light weapons and ammunition from small cargo ships, it did not help the development of the fighting.

Although there are few soldiers in Nanhua, they have advanced weapons and equipment and sufficient logistical supplies. Now step by step, step by step, the Javanese are not an opponent at all.

The Chinese defended Sumatra and turned on the offensive and liberated at least two armies of Dutch soldiers, who withdrew most of their troops from Sumatra and moved all to Java and the Spice Islands.

It is precisely this absolute suppression of force that controls the seas, so no one will think that the Javanese will be able to turn the tables.

On the island of Borneo, there were originally only a few hundred thousand Javanese, and most of them returned to Java when South China was founded. Except for a few with ulterior motives, most of the people who remained in Borneo were low-level residents who didn't care who ruled.

Palembang was under military control, and although Borneo was not as strict as it was, it was impossible for these Javanese to pose a big threat to South China by taking advantage of the supervision and control of the people themselves.

When the winter comes, when the U.S. warships are delivered and the trained navy can carry out tasks, the military strength of South China will be even stronger.

And in the winter, the fifth group of trained army soldiers will start serving again, and at that time, the gap between the military strength of Nanhua and the Javanese will be even greater.

It is also for these reasons that although the war will affect some foreign investment, the impact will not be significant.

Because it is simply impossible for Javanese to land on the islands of Borneo and Bangka, which are the main investment destinations.

Nanhua can have today's environment, which Zhou Nan has created step by step in the past two years, but he does not have much interest and attention to the development of details.

After coming to Nanhua, his main focus was on the formation of colleges and the allocation of funds at the University of Nanhua.

Hu Xijiang and Zhou Nan are the co-presidents of the University of South China, but in terms of job allocation, the two are completely different.

Hu Xijiang was in charge of the establishment of the Academy of Liberal Arts, and he used his prestige to attract a large number of scholars from China. Especially now that the Blue Party has been defeated, many businessmen and literati have found ways to leave the mainland, and in the liberal arts, there are now many talents.

In addition to the management of liberal arts, Hu Xijiang is also responsible for the administrative affairs of the school, except that he has no financial power, he is a big steward.

Compared with the liberal arts, the development of science is not satisfactory, although Zhou Nan has looked for some master-level figures, but the manpower is still a little too small.

If it weren't for the shortage of talents, the University of South China would have enrolled 10,000 students, and there would have been no pressure on the hardware.

Moreover, there is one of the most troublesome aspects of science education in schools, that is, language problems and textbook problems.

Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Environment and Architecture, Engineering Technology, Engineering, Engineering, and Electronic Science and Technology, except for the School of Environment and Architecture, which is dean by Mr. Liang, a Chinese, most of the lecturers and professors in other colleges are from Europe and the United States.

Among them, the English department has the most professors, followed by the German department. And these professors from different countries and regions, in order to promote their country's culture and scientific and technological advancement, are willing to teach in their own language.

It is also for this reason that the first batch of students recruited are all college students who are proficient in a foreign language, otherwise, they would not even be able to understand the teacher's lectures!

In order to reconcile the differences between these professors, Zhou Nan spent a lot of time communicating with them, working more than 16 hours a day.

In the end, it was decided that the teaching of science should be mainly in English, supplemented by Chinese, and as for German, only some interested students studied on their own.

In addition to these, there is also the issue of fund allocation, and the professors of various disciplines need Zhou Nan a huge amount of funding in order to establish their own laboratories.

Of course, it is common to ask for money to be paid on the spot, so the competition is extremely fierce for who has more and less funds for these funds.

Fortunately, Pan Lao and the others transferred five million dollars to Zhou Nan as soon as he came back, otherwise, Zhou Nan would have had even more headaches.

Setting up a laboratory is not like paying a salary and spending money in a university, and it is generally necessary to purchase experimental equipment abroad. The South China dollar is not yet a real currency in circulation, and of course it cannot be used, and at this time, it can only be used in US dollars.

In addition to the University of South China, there is another university that has also been built, that is, the School of Biology and Medicine.

The college was named the University of Medical Sciences, and the reason why it was allocated as a separate university is because the university did not cost Nanhua a penny at all, except for the use of the land and teaching buildings of the University of South China.

(The war can't be written in detail, it's good that everyone can understand it, there is no entertainment tonight, and there will be a third shift in a while)
