The negotiations between Britain and the Netherlands were conducted entirely in a friendly mood, and the Netherlands were no longer the sea coachmen who competed with Britain for world domination, and now they themselves knew that they could not compete with Britain at all. can only survive under the British-dominated world order. The tragic First World War made it clear to the Netherlands that he was no longer a player who could once again take center stage.

At the end of the discussion, the British delegates returned to Singapore to report to the Governor. After introducing the content of the negotiations, the British representative was still a little unconfident, "Are the Dutch doing what we want?" ”

"What will they do if they don't?" The Governor of Singapore asked rhetorically. It is no longer the day when the Dutch made a lot of money from the spice masses. If you want to suck blood in the Western Pacific, the only target is China. The six great powers in the western Pacific, Britain, the United States, the Soviet Union, Japan, and France, were too far away to have any interests in the Western Pacific, and the Netherlands could not afford to have any trouble with the Soviet Union in the Far East. The naval strength of the remaining four countries all greatly surpassed that of the Netherlands. China is the only one that has the money and lacks a navy.

"But are we really just canceling the Bank of China's bank deposits in our colony? Originally, their deposit business was also very limited, which did not have much impact on China. The representative of the United Kingdom asked about this issue. If the Dutch were at odds with the Chinese, the British would be too polite to the Chinese.

The Governor of Singapore did not explain much that Britain did not need to deal any heavy blow to China's overseas economy in its own plans. There are some things that even the negotiators can't know, and if there are too many people who know, the more likely it is that the information will leak out.

In the British plan, Britain wanted to deal a serious blow to the Dutch banking industry in the Dutch East Indies, and Britain would close only a small part of the banking interests of the Chinese colonies in Southeast Asia. The anger of the Chinese will definitely be directed at the Netherlands, and then the Netherlands can pull Japan to top the cylinder. China no longer shares a border with Japan, and China's navy is inferior to Japan's. Britain only needed to guarantee the overall superiority of the Japanese navy over China in accordance with the Anglo-Japanese alliance. What about China? Britain, Japan, and the Netherlands have formed a chain of traps to trap China. Unless China can amass the enormous power to completely overwhelm the quasi-alliance formed by the three countries at sea. In the eyes of the British, this will take at least twenty years.

As for what will happen in twenty years, Britain has never cared. The British Empire has experienced one challenger after another for hundreds of years, and they have long been aware that Britain's enemies are always changing. All Britain had to do was to be able to secure its naval strength. Maybe in 20 years, China will not be able to hold on first. Stratagems take time to test the results.

Britain began to make some moves as agreed, and of course only some actions. But the British seem to have underestimated the IQ of the Dutch, and the Dutch also made some moves, again just actions. The Chinese in the Dutch East Indies felt danger and pressure, and it was only danger and pressure.

If you change to an ordinary conspirator, I am afraid that I will already start to feel uneasy at this time. But the British have been conspirators for hundreds of years, and they have enough patience. At the end of 1932, after three years of the Great Depression, and about to enter its fourth year according to the year, the Dutch government finally couldn't help but ask the Bank of China to provide its own information in the name of a tax audit. At the same time, the Netherlands also began to set aside land near the plantations run by the Chinese as agreed, and the Japanese began to "operate" it.

These months aren't too long for a guy who plays intrigue and trickery. For China, it is unimaginably lucky.

In these few months, there has been tremendous progress in China's industry. Thanks to the Great Depression, the American laboratory finally developed a prototype of the anion sputtering coating machine, and the BJP spent gold to buy the machine and the corresponding process design based on the relationship between China and the big American conglomerates. The total weight of this real gold is heavier than the machine and the drawings combined. The laser principle was proposed by Albert Einstein as early as 1916, and the ruby-sapphire crystallization experiment in the laboratory of the People's Party has basically entered the stage of large-scale production after spending huge investment.

The rest is simple, the CO2 laser generator is the graduation experiment of Chen Ke's physics classmates in the dormitory of Chen Ke University, Chen Ke was a very utilitarian bastard when he was young, and he is also a bastard with a not low IQ. He also has enough love for natural science, and college papers are not how complicated the theory is, as long as the mathematical principles are not involved, the explanation of this pure theory will be remembered after listening to and reading the materials. At that time, the key to the production discussed was this optical coating. After solving this problem, the remaining bits and pieces, although important, are things that can be solved in the electrical parts market.

The money has been spent, the scientific and technological personnel are also willing to work, and the basic experiments of the People's Party have accumulated a thick enough, but what is lacking is the core equipment. As soon as the American equipment arrived, the roadblock of the Chinese laser was kicked away. The "Science and Technology Tree Project" itself is a joint scientific research program, more than a dozen relevant departments and laboratories work 24 hours a day and three shifts, and more than two months after getting the machine, the first ruby laser finally appeared in this world.

Transistors rely entirely on technology accumulation, and at the Solvay Conference once a year, Chen Ke holds the title of a photoelectric effect scientist. Out of courtesy, the Solvay meeting will also send an invitation to Chen Ke. Chen Ke doesn't go by himself, he always sends a team to learn from the experience every year. After returning from the academic exchange, Chen Ke felt that he had heard the translated terms, so he pointed them as the direction of study and research. Crystal management theory is just a very common knowledge in universities in the 21st century, and Chinese universities are still the kind of places that force students to memorize theories. With these specious directions as a guide, a large amount of research funds were smashed, and after a lot of investment and experiments, first germanium transistors, and then silicon transistors, appeared one after another.

At this stage, the People's Party's science and technology fully embodied the "Chen Ke model", and often without even theoretical preparation, it rushed all the way to a certain "unknown direction" under the guidance of the will of the leadership. The popular joke in the "cutting-edge field" of Chinese scientific circles is that "if there are difficulties, we must overcome difficulties, and if there are no difficulties, we must also create difficulties." Chen Ke is undoubtedly the culprit of the "creation difficulties".

The true significance of these two breakthroughs has not yet been fully comprehended by the Chinese scientific community, and Chen Ke is already happy in his heart. One of the terrible problems with the model of putting technological breakthroughs first is that there is basically no accumulation, and once you want to expand it, you immediately feel that the foundation is insufficient. But now it's the Great Depression, and whoever holds the gold is going to be invincible. Technological breakthroughs have brought a large number of problems and puzzles in China, and these problems and puzzles for the Chinese scientific research team are not necessarily problems and puzzles in foreign countries.

During the Great Depression, there were very few technologies in the world that could not be bought and sold in gold, and very few people could not be moved by respect, rich rewards, and a favorable laboratory environment and possible future scientific achievements. The doors of the BJP's vaults were unusually open at this time, and the gold-wielding men were visiting Europe and the United States on the basis of information gathered over the past decade.

The electronics industry is the money printing machine of the future, and the Ministry of Finance does not dare to raise any objections. Most of the leading products of the People's Party's foreign trade came out under the personal leadership or "personal care" of Chen Ke. What's more, the purpose of this round of technology is clear, every technology and every famous scientist has been reported, and the auditors of the Ministry of Finance just can't understand the scientific principles, but they can't think that this is a hysteria caused by some people's full-fed support.

With such great news, the actions of the Dutch to bring about their own demise did not bring any displeasure to Chenke. In this crucial race against time, the Dutchman's hesitation had dire consequences for themselves.

"Let the Foreign Office lodge its most solemn protest against the unfair means of the Dutch." Chen Ke just gave such an answer.

As one of the 12 people, Li Runshi certainly knows China's grand strategy for the future. He was just curious why Chen Ke was so happy. Chen Ke did not mention the matter of technological progress, and in response to Li Runshi's question, Chen Ke replied: "The Dutch and the British do not understand at all why we want to build a hospital there. After speaking, Chen Ke approved a note and asked Li Runshi to study the confidential documents by himself.

The content of these documents is relatively simple, and the Chinese retired doctor-turned-doctor carried out a great deal of "social practice" in the Dutch East Indies. Using the plantations as a cover, they had already made many trekking in the Dutch East Indies. This is a work that has taken a great cost, and there are many natives in the Dutch East Indies, including cannibal headhunters. It's not that these natives have any moral problems, they will eat anything when they are hungry, and the rainforest covered with thick vegetation is by no means a friendly existence.

After Li Runshi looked at the secret documents full of death-related documents, he thought for a while before he suddenly realized that the words "guerrilla warfare" popped up in his mind. This is the strategy that the BJP really wants to implement. In such a terrible environment, it was absolutely impossible for the Dutch colonists to penetrate into the "vast rural world" of the Dutch East Indies. The People's Party, on the other hand, could use well-trained troops to fight guerrillas in the Netherlands. Although those cannibals and headhunters who dare to eat human flesh are savage, they may not be unable to cooperate. In fact, they are very easy to get along with. Able to carry medicines, Kong Wu has the power to fight a dozen doctors to treat diseases and save people, and these natives have a special "persuasive power".

After reading the information, Li Runshi understood what Chen Ke meant at this stage to "wait and see what happened". The People's Party is not afraid that the Dutch have gone too far, and the People's Party is afraid that the Dutch have not done too much. In addition to the Netherlands, Li Runshi is also quite worried about Japan's attitude, but Japan is still shrinking behind, no matter how worried he is, he has to wait for Japan to come to the fore like the Dutch.
