Chapter 85 Interests
After Chen Zhongqing finished reading one, he handed one to others to watch, and when he finished reading it all, he didn't speak directly, but carefully figured out Zhou Nan's mind in his heart.
Everyone watched the blood boiling, although most people said that they should be cautious about this matter, but who has no blood in their hearts!
This Chinese country on Borneo was originally the Dutch charge d'affaires class.
The Dutch divided all people into three classes, themselves being first-class, Chinese and Indians second-class, and natives third-class.
Under the "divide and rule" method of the Dutch colonists, the Chinese were not only merchants, but also tax collectors, accomplices of the rulers in the eyes of the aborigines.
At this time, the Chinese there, including the Chinese, became pawns in the power struggle between the Indonesian Communist Party, nationalists and the Christians.
Externally, it became a pawn in the struggle between the Soviet Union, the United States, and the Netherlands.
In such a complex environment, all Chinese people need someone who has a full understanding of the world situation to guide them forward.
Zhou Nan's manuscript, although he did not directly express his opinion, has already expressed the meaning he wants to express.
He is also in favor of retaliation.
But how to retaliate is a very complicated matter.
Even if we can't get rid of the position of being taken advantage of, at least we must strive for the best conditions for all Chinese.
Chen Zhongqing pondered for a while before saying, "Anan, I already understand what you mean, but have you considered the opinions of other countries?" ”
Zhou Nan first looked at the Dutch with a concerned face, and then asked rhetorically: "This is our own hatred of the Chinese, why should we care about the opinions of other countries." The Javanese guerrillas killed our people, and then they had to pay the debt with blood. Although there are less than 600,000 Chinese on the island of Java, most of these 600,000 are young and middle-aged. In order to protect our property, we must not keep retreating, otherwise, one day we will retreat into a corner. ”
"Preparations for the founding of Borneo are in full swing, and nothing could be more important than reshaping our national character as a new nation. Although there are ten times more Javanese than we are, we have the island of Borneo as a retreat, and we have the help of more than 100,000 Dutch troops, so we don't have to fear them at all. The Javanese people have now been beaten by the Dutch and retreated into the mountains, but now they dare to vent their anger at us Chinese, so we should let them know that from now on, the economy of the East Indies will still be our master, and our political status will be completely equal to them. ”
"We Chinese will have our own country in the future, and the political situation around this country is complicated, if we don't have a strong government, how can we gain a foothold there? Are we going to rely on the help of other countries all the time and become vassals of others? Before the country is established, the first thing we must do is to establish the bloody spirit of our Chinese who are not afraid of difficulties and sacrifices. ”
Chen Zhongqing said with some concern: "However, behind this matter, who knows how many mysteries are hidden, and if you act rashly, you will only fall into the trap of those conspirators." ”
Zhou Nan said with a smile: "People are our people, the gun is in our hands, and we should completely control it to the extent that it hits." We are only avenging the sixty-one compatriots who died, and what does it matter to us for the rest? ”
Hearing this, Chen Zhongqing had completely understood what Zhou Nan meant. It is necessary to fight the crackdown, but it is the spirit of the Chinese people and the re-establishment of the image of the Chinese people, and it is necessary not to involve too many political factors, and it is all the more necessary to pay attention not to expand the scope of retaliation.
He thought about it carefully again and said, "Now there are two problems, and I hope to get your help from Anan." ”
Zhou Nan said directly: "I am duty-bound. ”
"The first thing is that I want you to help us build diplomatic relations with other countries......"
"No problem." Zhou Nan immediately agreed, there were too many observers in their conversation today, so it would be good to stop at the point.
"The second thing is that there are also some Red Party members among us Chinese who want to calm things down and focus on the overall situation. This kind of work of unifying ideas is also what you are good at, and I hope you can help out. ”
Zhou Nan was a little embarrassed about this matter, but at this time, the representative of the Dutch side immediately said: "Mr. Zhou, Prime Minister Bell also hopes that you can go to Asia and persuade the Chinese to unite and deal with our common opponent together." ”
Zhou Nan looked up at Stolko, who had been silent, and at this time, he nodded lightly and said, "We hope to use the air passage in the Netherlands to conduct a private visit." ”
Everyone on the Dutch side immediately nodded again and again, and said, "We, the Dutch side, can guarantee the safety of Mr. Zhou's trip to Asia......
Audrey, who had never intervened, couldn't help but come over at this time and whispered, "Jonas, I want to go to Asia with you." ”
Zhou Nan shook his head and said, "It's not safe there!" ”
"It's because it's not safe that I want to be with you even more, otherwise I'll be worried about you in Switzerland."
Stolko said at this time: "Jonas, it is also a good thing that Audrey came with you. At the very least, it's more of a 'private' affair. ”
Zhou Nan hesitated for a while, seeing that Audrey's tears were about to flow out, it seemed that Zhou Nan didn't agree, and the next moment she was about to cry, and finally nodded.
Although the purpose of this trip seems simple, there are too many aspects to deal with.
The most important thing is what position the USSR and the United States stood in this matter.
Nominally, the Javanese were now on the same side as the Americans, but because the Dutch split the East Indies, the United States did not stand firmly on the side of the Javanese, who were therefore also linked to the Soviet Union.
Most of the Chinese are now following in the footsteps of the Netherlands, but some want to rely on the United States, and some want to rely on the power of the Soviet Union, and they are not monolithic.
Coupled with the complex ethnic composition of the local area, it is almost impossible to completely sort out the relationship between them. If you can conform to the will of one party, you will definitely give in to the will of the other.
No matter which side it is, it has the intention of wooing Zhou Nan, but no matter which side it is, there is also the possibility of killing Zhou Nan and letting the other party carry the black pot.
After all, the current Zhou Nan, because of the progress of the founding of the country, has played an increasingly important role, and his prestige has become higher and higher.
Even if the Dutch have to use Zhou Nan now, they can't see Zhou Nan's influence so great.
The current Dutch uses Zhou Nan, and if they want to win over the Chinese, they naturally respond to Zhou Nan's needs. In the future, if the Chinese get rid of the control of the Dutch, when the interests of the two sides are not aligned, I am afraid that the first thing the Dutch will have to deal with is Zhou Nan.
However, international relations are inherently such a conflict of interests, and there is no emotion. If you really believe who is good and who is bad, you are a fool.
In the past, the Dutch were not necessarily soft in killing the Chinese, but they still put the Chinese on the head of the natives, because this cost was the least and it was most conducive to their management.
Later, the natives killed hundreds of thousands of Chinese at once, but still handed over the economic power to the Chinese, because they couldn't handle it themselves.
At the end of the century, 4 percent of the Chinese in Indonesia controlled 70 percent of the country's economy, and all the consortia in the country were in the hands of the Chinese. It can be said that except for minerals and some agriculture, everything else is controlled by the Chinese.
What is the reason for all this? It's all about interests!
The Swiss side did not question Zhou Nan's trip, and after Zhou Nan decided, the chairman of the Federation, Philippe Ait, and the chairman of the Liberal Democratic Party, Petit Pierre, called to care for him.
For Switzerland, Zhou Nan is now a national treasure. Although Zhou Nan has always been outside the political core, his contribution to Switzerland is greater than that of any other person.
For other countries, he can at most give some advice on foreign policy, but in Switzerland, Zhou Nan has made great contributions in all aspects.
From legislation, internal management, financial policy, and economic policy, Zhou Nan has good opinions and proposals. And most of all the bills he proposed have proven to be very good proposals.
The only thing that Switzerland is worrisome now is that Zhou Nan is too deeply involved in foreign politics and cannot serve Switzerland wholeheartedly.
But Switzerland could not tempt Zhou Nan with better terms, because the highest income of a Swiss politician is less than 10,000 Swiss francs a year, plus various subsidies, it is only a little more than 10,000, almost 3,000 US dollars.
They can't restrain Zhou Nan too harshly, because Switzerland's international situation is already relatively isolated, and if several major countries provoked by Zhou Nan have opinions, their situation will be even more difficult.
Zhou Nan thanked them for their greetings and affirmed that he had never wanted to leave Switzerland.
Anyone with a discerning eye knows that this is Zhou Nan's true thoughts, because his current positioning is already the best.
Just as he really coveted power, he would not have been willing to serve as just a deputy secretary-general. As long as he is a full-time politician, when he is over thirty years old, he can always hold the presidency of the Swiss Confederation.
He is not willing to be the president of the Swiss Confederation, would he be willing to go to a small and unstable country to be the chancellor in a difficult situation? More importantly, will he lose his transcendent status and become the object of vigilance of all countries?
Of course, the more important reason for this is that everyone has figured out Zhou Nan's character and knows that he has a heavy literati atmosphere, and he really has no intention of entering politics.
Stolko and Ettinny accompanied the Dutch to arrange Zhou Nan's itinerary, and Zhou Nan returned to his study and began to organize his manuscript.
In the past six months, he has completed the Chinese edition of the next two volumes of the General History of the World, and this time he returned to Asia, just enough to publish it there.
In addition to these, there are many scattered ideas, many of which have very important guidance for the Chinese state in Borneo......
