Before Zhu Hua and they came, Yang Shu and other three commanders also thought about contacting the outside world, with Yang Yuanzhao's ban, they didn't dare to break it lightly, plus people in other places, the Dutch control of Borneo was very strict, among several people in charge, only Yang Shu went out a few times, and the result every time was not very pleasant, the Chinese were third-class citizens in the city, and they were even inferior to the natives who defected to the Dutch, and once again they almost couldn't even come back. You know, Yang Shu's dress is not an ordinary Chinese, he was the treasurer of the Chamber of Commerce before, and now he is a big leader, and his whole body is full of foreign style, but he was almost left behind, and others dare not come out.

Zhu Hua brought the order to lift the ban, and the general direction was set, especially when he knew that the Northwest would go all out to support their actions in Borneo, everyone was relieved, the Netherlands, perhaps hundreds of years ago, before the rise of Britain, was called a sea coachman, and the Dutch ships of that year almost occupied the main part of the entire world, and most of the country's goods needed to be transported by the Netherlands. Unfortunately, after the rise of Britain, Europe, France, Russia, Germany, Austria, Hungary and Italy echoed each other, and the Netherlands, which was originally powerful at sea, has become a last-class country, only slightly better than Spain, which was defeated by the United States.

Spain, no matter what, as well as its own land area, population and industry, everything has exploded in the Netherlands, and the reason why it became the first of the past powers to decline is because the once powerful Spain still occupied Mexico and Central America after their decline.

America is America's America, and even if it pursues a policy of isolation, the United States regards America as America's backyard. Only then did Spain become a thorn in the side of the Americans, and they dealt with it deliberately. The Netherlands understood very well and hugged the thighs of the British. In addition, the Indonesia he occupied was located between Singapore and the Philippines, and the United States and Britain also needed a certain buffer, which was the fundamental reason why Indonesia was able to be attributed to the Netherlands and preserved.

Yang Yuanzhao knew very well that the Netherlands was already strong in the outside world, and it was not vulnerable at all, with the current strength of the northwest, he would press him to death if he mobilized a fraction of his strength at will. Don't even have to do it. Borrowing a knife to kill people, pointing out several large oil fields located in Indonesia, when the time comes, the United States and Britain, which are crazy for oil, will directly tear the Netherlands apart, this era of geopolitical and national relations, far less hidden than later generations, no matter what the purpose, always have to decorate a high-sounding thing, this era. It is the standard law of the jungle, the code of conduct of the state is for the sake of interests, as long as there are enough interests, anything can be set aside.

Not to the end, though. Yang Yuanzhao would not choose this, is there a difference between the Netherlands and Britain and the United States, they are both colonizers. They are all great powers, and South Asia has always been in his calculations from the very beginning. This is a rich land with a large amount of farmland and a lot of resources. It is a gift from heaven.

The General Staff, for the investigation and analysis of Southeast Asia, considering the Netherlands is only the most preliminary, from the Netherlands to the powers, how to do it to the Netherlands without touching the British, French, American and other powers, this is the best choice, but unfortunately every deduction to the end, will always cause the vigilance of the powers, and therefore, the Southeast Asian strategy has been shelved, for a few years, there has been no progress.

Until 1912, Yang Yuanzhao took advantage of his trip to Germany to open the Southeast Asia strategy, he knew most of the deduction of the General Staff, and he also carefully calculated, if you want to avoid the Netherlands and lead out Britain, France, the United States and other powers, there is only one chance, that is, World War I.

Only during the First World War, the power of Britain and France and other countries had no time to look eastward, of course, not all the strength, Britain and France have fleets in Asia, and the naval strength in the northwest is not an opponent at all, but the fleet cannot capture the territory, Indonesia has several large islands, as long as it has a firm foothold on these islands, and after World War I, China has obtained a certain amount of maritime strength with the help of Germany, plus the foundation on the islands, no one can take away these lands.

It was already October 1912, and it was about to be 1913, and there was only more than a year before the First World War.

These young elites who came with Zhu Hua, in addition to their personal suzhì number, have also received a certain amount of training, the Chinese may be able to occupy the dominance of Indonesia, but they cannot be Chinese, let alone the northwest, they must be native-born Chinese, and even a certain amount of Cheng dù, but also need to push out the natives as a shield, which is the key to the initial stage and not to cause a backlash from the powers.

Zhu Hua led the whole meeting very well, more than 200 people after 2 days of consultation, and finally formed the final resolution, first need to wait for the domestic volunteers to come, the country sent Zhu Hua to play the front station, once the whole situation of the plantation is understood, the follow-up support will come one after another, and then use some of these support as a gift, try to contact the Chinese in Nanyang, the plantation has little influence in Southeast Asia, of course, this is inseparable from the plantation's self-defense, However, the influence of the Northwest in the Nanyang Chinese circle is not small.

Before 1911, most of the Chinese in Nanyang were under the influence of Sun Yat-sen, inclined to the revolutionary party, their purpose was very simple, that is, to want a strong motherland.

The revolutionary party did not unify China, but the rise of the northwest, not only suppressed the powerful Beiyang and the revolutionary party, but also confronted one of the great powers, the million-strong army, and raised the prestige of China, and also brought with it, the waist of the Chinese people was much straighter, and some of the children of overseas Chinese who defected to the northwest increased by 20 times in just one year, and many people chose to support and invest in the northwest.

Laid out these, soon, there is a way, not to compete with them for power and profit, nor to conspire to serve them, just a preliminary contact, with the help of the connections of the Nanyang Chinese, a certain amount of dù above, to increase the output of the farm, some of the light industrial products produced by the farm before, can be sold in the Chinese area through special channels, and get good with those Chinese, by the way, they need to prepare, they need a secret place, the farm is a little inconvenient, it is better to be a desolate island, It is possible to hoard troops and equipment, and it is necessary to have a natural deep-water harbor.

These two points, for others, may be a very difficult thing to complete, for the Nanyang Chinese, but not difficult, they were born here, grew up here, are very familiar with here, Indonesia, known as the country of a thousand islands, itself is composed of several large islands, plus the small islands dotted with stars, the coast of Malacca, a certain distance above, is the paradise of pirates, in the starry islands, all kinds of pirates can not be killed, not to mention looking for a secret base.

This side is discussing how to go out, the Chinese side, is also discussing here, Harpy's plantation, after it appeared, it attracted the attention of the Chinese, but before they just thought that this was just a foreign devil, there was money and no place to spend it, and the product was made, but later, more and more Chinese came here, making them feel different, of course, only a small number of people with a heart know, other people holding Dutchman's thighs, they didn't dare to spy on Harpy's plantation, in the governor's place, It was a taboo, and no one knew what the relationship between the governor and Harpy was, and they had not even mentioned what they knew to the Dutch officials they knew well, and they were angry at them, and whatever happened there had nothing to do with them.

In this case, the Dutch heard some rumors, and they would not take it seriously, only those who really seek the status of the Chinese will notice this, but for many years, the Dutch have not dared to take the Chinese harvest lightly, just wait and see, to see what this increasingly large Chinese farm wants to do.

The Chinese in Nanyang is a tragic history, all the time, in the colonial period, was suppressed by the colonial authorities, in the later period of the colony, after the national independence, the local people occupied the absolute upper hand, the Chinese, has been working hard to achieve national reconciliation and national independence, but the Chinese in Nanyang, has always been a third-class citizen.

The meeting took 2 days to end, recorded the minutes of the talks, signed by Zhu Hua and Yang Shu, and passed to Northwest and Yang Yuanzhao here by means of top-secret messages, Northwest received it on the spot, according to the previous plan, began to prepare, a large number of materials are ready-made, ready to load and set off at any time.

In this era, most of the communication still relies on cable telegraphs, even if it is a 10,000-ton cruiser, it is not equipped with a radio, which makes Yang Yuanzhao a little inconvenient, there is a radio in the northwest, but in the vast sea frontier, the current radio can not be received in any corner of the world without a base station, so this time on the trip, there was simply no wireless telegraph.

Fortunately, in a maximum of seven days, the fleet will enter the port once, add coal and water, and carry out some supplies by the way, at this time, he can follow Mu Mo, go to the telegraph office, receive the telegram, spend 200 US dollars, and branch the telegraph operator, Yang Yuanzhao carried the telegraph operator, through the special frequency band, and accepted that information, the northwest side, it will be released uninterrupted every day, that is, in case Yang Yuanzhao did not receive the situation, after reading the telegram, he was slightly silent, these years have been a thousand things, Southeast Asia has only started a little, and there is little attention, but he didn't expect that the current scale has been formed, much better than estimated by the General Staff, and the time is a little earlier, he pondered a little, and ordered the telegraph operator to send back a telegram, and the message was very simple: "What is the progress of Lan Fang's plan?"
