The headquarters of the Dutch was on a small island on the southern bank of the Pontianak River, surrounded by marshes and small rivers, and it was heavily defended and difficult to attack.

After the Dutch evacuated, only one battalion remained, and all the heavy weapons were transported to the front line on Java, leaving many rooms vacant.

After lunch, Zhou Nan was sent to the small building where their head lived to rest temporarily, and an hour later, the first meeting would be held.

Audrey and Ettinney, who had checked in one step earlier, had already arranged everything, and Zhou Nan saw the newly furnished room, which was full of red sandalwood and agarwood furniture, and asked in surprise: "How can it be so luxurious?" ”

Audrey said a little embarrassed: "This is not my arrangement, but Chen Lao and Cai Lao arranged it, I said that I changed into the sheets we brought myself...... Are you going to lie down for a while? ”

Zhou Nan nodded, shook his head again and said, "Is there cold water?" I'll take a shower first, it's too hot. ”

In Europe, I didn't feel any inconvenience in life, but when I came to Asia, everything became backward.

Pontianak is not yet electrified, and the headquarters does have a generator, but it can only provide a little power for lighting, not even an electric fan.

There is no running water here, there are several wells in the yard, and there is no shortage of clean water, but you need to fetch your own water, or go to the well to take a shower.

Zhou Nan's body is well-proportioned and strong, although he is not the muscular type, but when he was in the Swiss military camp, most of the Westerners were not as big as him.

He didn't care about exposing his body in front of other men, but as an object of respect, he still had to retain a little mystery.

Moreover, those Chinese people were afraid that he would not be used to being here, so they arranged for a few beautiful girls to serve him. They admired Zhou Nan so much that their eyes couldn't wait to stick to Zhou Nan.

Zhou Nan didn't think much about them, Audrey was trained by him for several years to be close to him in life, and the two people's outlook on life and values are the same.

But these girls have matured and have their own outlook on life and values, and Zhou Nan is not sure that he can form a tacit understanding with them.

So he was afraid that Audrey would misunderstand and affect the relationship between the two people, so he didn't even dare to say more to them.

Audrey was so pleased with his performance that she washed him herself, let him lie down for a while, and held a fan in her hand to help him ward off the heat.

What Zhou Nan needs is not real sleep, and he doesn't have this time to waste. But in a state like theirs, you must give a certain amount of rest time and calm your mind for a while, so that you can face everything in the best state.

Zhou Nan lay down and began to think about the people and things he had to face in his brain for a while, and then he was about to fall asleep unconsciously. But Stolko's voice woke him up: "Jonas, everyone is here, we should go." ”

After lying down for a while, Zhou Nan's nerves eased a lot and sat up. "Honey, help me bring that white silk practice uniform and wear it, you must wear cloth shoes to wear this."

Audrey obediently found the practice uniform and helped Zhou Nan put it on. "At lunchtime, Mrs. Cai and Mrs. Chen both asked me to chat in the afternoon, and Ludwig asked me to have a good relationship with them, but I was a little afraid that I would not do well."

You will find it easier to cope with this kind of socializing than in the West, where there is a deep sense of hierarchy, and you will find that other people will take extra care of your emotions. And what you have to do is to grasp the proportions of your words, be impartial, and then be kind in your attitude. ”

She held Zhou Nan's face, kissed him lightly on the lips, and said, "I will try to adapt myself to different roles, Jonas, I will not disgrace you......"

Zhou Nan corrected her and said: "You haven't learned the application of subject-verb-object yet, in different positions, although face and face have the same meaning, but there are different usages. For example, if you tell someone that this is a matter of face, but when you tell me, you should say that you are losing face, not losing face. ”

"Chinese's too complicated......" she coquettished.

Zhou Nan hugged her, kissed her on the lips and smiled: "Yes, my Audrey is already very smart, and in three or four years, she has spoken Chinese very well." I've been learning English for so long, and I still have grammatical mistakes! ”

She was happy again and snuggled into Zhou Nan's arms. "That's because there's so much you have to do, and you're the smartest person in the world."

Zhou Nan came outside the house, and it was Chen Lao, who he was most familiar with, who came to greet him. He is now the deputy speaker of the provisional parliament, and the speaker is Cai Lao, who was in the same car with Zhou Nan in the morning.

At present, because of the great contradictions and differences, the candidate for interim prime minister has been difficult to deliver. The Dutch insisted that the Red Party members should not be prime minister, but their nominees refused to agree with the Red Party, so the transitional government was largely run by a group of old men.

It has been 10 months since the announcement of the founding of the Netherlands, but since all aspects of relations in the East Indies have not yet been coordinated, and the border issues in many regions are even more deadlocked, there is still a long way to go to establish an independent state.

However, since the Chinese were divided mainly on the island of Borneo, and there were several other archipelagos, only the north bordered the British occupation zone, but there were no border disputes.

In addition, the Chinese people have money, so the progress in all aspects is relatively fast, and all countries are unanimously optimistic that as long as the Chinese solve the problem of the legacy assets of other ethnic groups, the founding of the country will be just around the corner.

The Chinese also believe that they can become the first country to establish a state, but the first thing to solve is not the problem of the legacy assets of other nations, but the increasingly serious problem of left-leaning.

If this Chinese country becomes a country dyed red by the Soviet Union, this is something that no Western country will ever allow. The Dutch now pinned their hopes on Zhou Nan, hoping to use his prestige to reconcile the contradictions between the two sides.

Chen Lao walked side by side with Zhou Nan to the conference room, and as he walked, he introduced him to the main personnel who came today. When he entered the door, Zhou Nan insisted on refusing to go first, invited him in, and followed him into the conference room.

This room was originally the Dutchman's military intelligence staff room, with a rectangular table in the middle and eight seats on each side. There were also two rows of auditor benches on three sides against the wall, and there were about a hundred people seated.

Zhou Nan was warmly welcomed when he entered, and everyone applauded in a very disciplined manner, and then invited Zhou Nan to sit down at one end of the long table, while at the other end sat Browning, the special envoy of the Dutch Prime Minister and an expert on Asian relations at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

This meeting was organized by the Dutch, but they will not mix too much, but only take minutes of the meeting, hoping to unify the opinions of the Chinese.

Zhou Nan noticed that the people on the left and right were distinct, and on the left hand side, Chen Lao and Cai Lao were the leaders, and they were all older. On the right hand, there are mainly young people, and sitting in the middle is Chen Zhongqing and another middle-aged man with a relatively ordinary appearance and a gentle temperament.

The father and son are facing each other, but their eyes have never touched each other, which is obviously not a small contradiction.

Stolko sat in the auditorium not far from Zhou Nan, and beside him, he specially arranged for an interpreter who knew English to help him translate.

The moderator of the meeting was Cai Lao, who first introduced the identities of the delegates attending the meeting. On his side, most of them are respected entrepreneurs, and they are also the main members of the current provisional parliament.

On the other hand, the identity of the personnel is more complicated, there are people from all walks of life, and most of them have experience abroad, and they are also the main force against the Dutch side.

In the end, he focused on Zhou Nan, and Zhou Nan also followed his introduction, got up and bowed to everyone.

After introducing Zhou Nan, he sighed and said: "In the past, we have also conducted more than 1,000 exchanges and communications, but no one can convince anyone. Mr. Zhou came all the way from Europe, and we did not indoctrinate him with any ideas from our side. Now, let's listen to Mr. Zhou's analysis of the current situation, and also hear his opinions on the future development, and then how about we exchange ideas with each other? ”

Sitting on Chen Zhongqing's right hand is a mixed-race Chinese and indigenous man named Sudar. He was also the highest-ranking of all those present, and was currently the commander of the 1st Division of the Armed Forces.

After listening to Cai Lao's words, he said in Chinese: "Mr. Zhou's understanding of the world situation is something I admire very much, but Mr. Zhou has been stranded in Western Europe for a long time, and his position is naturally biased towards Western society. ”

Zhou Nan nodded and said: "I am just attending this meeting as a Chinese today, and I will give my suggestions and judgments on any issue, but whether you listen or not, whether you adopt it or not, this is your freedom." I can only guarantee that my proposals will be based on the interests of the Chinese, or rather, the interests of the unestablished South China State. As for which side to lean, it depends on what you think, even Comrade Iron Man, don't you also treat me as a guest? ”

He nodded solemnly and said, "Please forgive me for my offense, in fact, I also sincerely admire Mr. Zhou's ability." ”

Zhou Nan smiled and nodded, understanding what he meant. He deliberately questioned him like this, just to make Zhou Nan not too biased towards Cai Lao and them.

However, he didn't know Zhou Nan at all, because Zhou Nan's gaze had already broken through the foggy present and saw the distant future.

After a little hesitation, Zhou Nan opened his mouth and said: "In this world, no political system is perfect, there is only relative perfection, and there is no absolute perfection. Before we discuss which political system is better, the first thing we should do is, first, whether it is in line with our country, and second, whether this political system can give better play to our productive forces and improve people's living standards. If not, then this system is not suitable for us, and if it can, it is the ...... that is suitable for us."
