The celebration of the October Revolution in the Soviet Union was very solemn, and representatives of all countries in the world gathered in Moscow, and Zhou Nan, as a special envoy of Switzerland, also watched the Soviet Union's grand military parade on the rostrum.

However, almost no one's mind was here, as all eyes were drawn to the East Indies.

From last August, after two months of fierce fighting, the combined British and Dutch forces finally captured most of the East Indies last month.

However, the victory did not bring joy, because there was no winner in this war, the Anglo-Dutch army also suffered heavy casualties, and they only occupied the cities, and they had no way to control large areas of the countryside.

At the end of October this year, the British team was the first to withdraw from the island of Java after completing the one-year term, handing over this chaotic area to the Netherlands.

The combined forces of both countries were unable to control it, and now only the Dutch army remained, and they could not control the situation even more.

In this situation, the Dutch fully realized how correct Zhou's original suggestion was, and that the East Indies were no longer the region that could be wreaked havoc by a single army.

With the weapons left behind by the Japanese, the revolutionary support of the Soviets, and the growing demand for national independence, it is almost impossible to control the region by force.

Even if all the Dutch were sent, they would be much smaller in number than the natives.

From the end of October until now, the Dutch parliament has increased its appropriations three times in a row, and sent an additional 15,000 troops to the East Indies, but it still cannot control the situation there.

Zhou Nan's previous suggestion has not been forgotten by them, on the one hand, in the war, on the other hand, in control, on the other hand, they are also dividing the local natives and looking for a suitable spokesperson.

The East Indies have never been a country, nor a nation, there are three hundred peoples, and there are more than eight of those with a population of more than five million alone.

Under these circumstances, after careful consideration, the Dutch finally announced on the day of the Soviet celebration that they would renounce their direct rule in the East Indies and that they would support seven larger nations in the East Indies to form their own states.

The announcement immediately shocked the world. It also surprised all countries.

The Indonesian nation has always sought national independence, the Soviets have always been there to prop up their power, and the Americans and Australians have been terrified of the red flag coming to their doorstep.

In such a complex situation, neither side dares to make concessions easily, because concessions mean failure.

But the Dutch announced at once that it was going to form seven countries in the East Indies, and at once everyone was satisfied, and everyone was not satisfied.

The Aceh, Timor, Sundan, Papuan, Malay and Chinese all cheered the decision, with the exception of the Madura, who were hesitant to establish an independent state or continue to follow in the footsteps of the Javanese.

In the Dutch proclamation, all the countries have their own sovereignty, but form the Dutch-Indonesian Federation, and the Queen of the Netherlands has honorary leadership. And the Netherlands still enjoys diplomatic, military and economic privileges.

This is similar to what Britain did against India, but it is very different from history.

In the original history, the Dutch recognized part of Indonesia's independence in 46, but most of it remained under their own control, and it was not until 49, under pressure from the international community, that they hurriedly threw out a plan to form fifteen countries in the East Indies.

However, because the distribution of these 15 countries was unreasonable, some because they were too small, and some because they were mixed ethnic groups, they were later broken down by the Javanese ethnic group and finally returned to the Indonesian Federation.

But in the following decades, the Papuan and Timorese fought for independence from the Javanese people, and it was not until a few decades later that there was an additional East Timor and a Papua New Guinea.

As for the interests of the Chinese and the Yaqi people, they were completely sacrificed, which also led to the political power of the Chinese almost disappearing and becoming lambs to the slaughter.

In the present-day East Indies, the Timorese could live directly on the island of their ancestors, and Aceh was directly divided into the northern part of Sumatra.

The Chinese occupy the southwestern part of Borneo, which was also the original area of Chinese influence, as well as the island of Bangka Belitung near Sumatra.

The Malays were divided into the southern part of Sumatra, and the Malays above Borneo blamed the Dutch for giving them over to the British.

The Sundans were also a large ethnic group in the East Indies, and their original sphere of influence was the island of Java and the Spice Islands, which belonged to them, and they were of course overjoyed.

Only the Javanese refused because they wanted to occupy an entire East Indies, not a small island nation with only one island left in Java, and although the Lesser Sunda Islands were also included in them, it was impossible to satisfy their needs.

Of course, this is only a preliminary plan for the Netherlands, and it will take a long negotiation to get it to fruition.

In the previous life, the Netherlands seized Sukarno and them, and it took two years of negotiations to finalize the decision to form fifteen small states. The differences in this world are even greater, and it is likely that the negotiations can be concluded before 49 years.

In the previous life, the Netherlands was pitted by the United States and the Soviet Union, and in this life, Zhou Nan will never let this happen again.

In the previous life, the Netherlands supported the independence of fifteen countries at once, and the abacus is actually the same as Zhou Nan's current game. With the creation of more small states, the Netherlands will naturally no longer have sovereignty, but economic control will be enough.

Half of these fifteen small countries are controlled by the Dutch.

However, both the Soviet Union and the United States regarded this place as a place of struggle outside the main battlefield in Europe, and no one dared to act rashly on the battlefield in Europe, because if they were not careful, it would turn into a third world war.

Therefore, the two sides opened up the Middle East battlefield, the Korean battlefield, the Southeast Asian battlefield, the Vietnam battlefield, the Afghanistan battlefield, and even the Central American battlefield, etc., in order to train and compete.

The Philippines here in Southeast Asia is the territory of the United States, and Malaya is the territory of the British, that is, the Netherlands is easier to bully.

Their struggle in the East Indies benefited the Javanese and harmed the Dutch. After repeated tug-of-war struggles, the remaining power of the Dutch was wiped out, and in the end, except for a few economic and trade powers, they also completely lost the East Indies.

In Zhou Nan's analysis, Zhou Nan focused on the future strategic significance of the East Indies, how to better adapt to the changes in the current situation under the military threat of the Soviet Union, which could almost flatten the earth.

Although it seems that the Netherlands has conceded a lot at once, as long as the economic privileges can be retained, the Netherlands, a merchant country, has been satisfied.

Zhou Nan got a specific division plan from the Dutch deputy prime minister, and he couldn't wait to look up to the sky and laugh. Although this is because in order to prevent the Chinese from controlling the East Indies economically, the territory given to the Chinese is not very large, but this is also half of Borneo, and it will be the foundation of tens of millions of Chinese in the future!

The celebration is not over, but the focus of the world is no longer Moscow, but The Hague in the Netherlands, Jakarta in the East Indies.

All countries are anxious to analyze the changes in the situation caused by the Netherlands' actions, and they want to find out where the bottom line of the Netherlands is, hoping to obtain greater benefits before this plan is implemented.

Only the British were able to secure the Diaoyutai because they had known all of the Dutch plans from the beginning, and in fact, they were only halfway through the plan, because the other half still needed the British to carry it out.

The entire South Asian region, including India, Pakistan, Burma, and Malaya, the declining British is currently in a state of overwhelm.

The United States, which Zhou Nan analyzed, was about to replace Britain and take over the sphere of influence that originally belonged to Britain. But Britain can also, like the Netherlands, retreat and advance and preserve its own interests as much as possible.

After attending the celebrations, a large number of diplomats boarded the train back to Western Europe, many of them to The Hague, the largest rural village in Europe.

Zhou Nan was also on the train, but this kind of world event didn't have much to do with him. For more than half a year, almost everyone knows that when Zhou Nan is outside, he can sort out everything.

But a very simple thing happened to him, he didn't know the twists and turns in it, the kind that was sold by others and had to count the money for others.

He is a typical person with high IQ and low emotional intelligence, with a far-sighted vision, but lacks the ability to adapt to changes.

Therefore, even if he enters the political arena, the best position is to be a helmsman or a staff member, and cannot participate in specific affairs.

Switzerland has never been involved in any international affairs except humanitarianism. But now that such a big thing has happened, and this matter has something to do with Zhou Nan, of course the Bern side wants Zhou Nan to return to China as soon as possible.

On the one hand, it is to protect Zhou Nan, and on the other hand, he wants to rely on his analysis to allow Switzerland to obtain greater benefits in other aspects.

The Soviet Union did not want Zhou Nan to leave, on the pretext that Zhou Nan's academic cooperation with the socialist countries had not yet ended.

However, the Swiss Federal Council categorically rejected the proposal, saying that there was something more important in Switzerland and that academic cooperation could allow people to go directly to Switzerland.

got on the return train, Zhou Nan was still empty-hearted. He only relied on his own memory to give the Netherlands tips and suggestions in this regard, but he did not expect that this incident could cause such a big storm.

Fortunately, the Soviet Union still needs to save face, and it is not forced to stay, if it is forced to stay, let alone him, even Switzerland is helpless.

Yannick picked up Zhou Nan at the train station in East Berlin, and when he saw Zhou Nan appear in front of him well, he couldn't help but hold him in his arms like he did when he was a child. "Jonas, I'm so proud of you."

(I still don't dare to write in detail here...... So be it. , the second volume will end soon, and there will be less description of the political and academic aspects later)
