Chapter 57 Reactions of the Parties

Leaving Li Minmin alone, Zhang Wei just wanted to know about the intelligence situation, but he has been worried lately, not knowing when the enemy will come, how many people will come, and where he will come. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

"Recently, we have made a lot of moves, and we have established the Kingdom of Lanfang, and we have occupied Kalimantan, Java, Sumatra, Sulawesi and Papua, and these places add up to a lot of territory. Now that there is no reaction from all countries, I really have no bottom in my heart, and I am very worried all day long, which makes me very uncomfortable. Tell me what you have recently gathered to see if there's anything valuable. ā€œ

"Your Majesty, now you don't need to be so worried, we are now an absolute advantage in public opinion, first of all, we have promoted the Dutch governor as a heinous figure, and now he has been captured by us, and he has not come forward to refute the rumors, this has become an established fact, people in many countries in the world hate the massacre of civilians, he is guilty of public anger this time, we rise up to rebel is also an oppressed, forced helpless choice, so it belongs to the righteous action. In addition, under the brand of Lanfang, we belong to the internal affairs of the Netherlands, and it is not easy for other countries to interfere, and now the Netherlands has not invited other countries to interfere. ā€œ

Zhang Wei said: "Public opinion arouses people's sympathy, this sympathy is not worth a penny, in the end it depends on the war, we win no matter what, we have lost, sympathy is only mercy for the weak, for the loser this mercy is worthless." Although the Dutch government has not yet invited other countries to intervene, the colonial countries will certainly not hope that we will be victoriously independent, otherwise it will have a very bad role in their colonial rule, and they will find ways to interfere without being invited. ā€

"Your Majesty is right, there is news from Singapore that the British Channel Governor sent someone to Pontianak to understand the situation and then sent someone to Sumatra to contact the Dutch army, as for the result is still unclear, I think they must be behind it."

"The British are-stirring sticks, and they will mix everything up, lest the world be chaotic, and they can profit from the chaos of the world."

Li civilians said: "Your Majesty, it's not entirely bad news, the news from Berlin that the Germans are very supportive of our actions, and they want to establish diplomatic relations with us and support us, I hope to send someone to contact them." ā€

"The Germans have always had good relations with the Dutch, so how can they support us?"

"The Germans wanted chaos in the East in order to contain the energy of the British and French in the East, so as to relieve them of the pressure on Germany in Europe, and now that Britain and Germany were in a state of competition, of course they could abandon the Netherlands for the sake of the general situation. Why don't we get in touch with Germany and ask for help from the Germans? ā€œ

"Now is not the time, no matter who we cooperate with, we pay attention to a mutually reciprocal relationship, we are not yet at the level of equality with the Germans, even the contact will not benefit, it still depends on the strength, if we can't even solve the snow pea, then there is no use value for the Germans, or wait until we occupy all these places. What was the attitude of the Kingdom of the Netherlands and the Qing Dynasty? Any news? ā€œ

"The people on the Dutch side are going very late, and there is no information about the attitude of the Dutch king for the time being, but the Dutch are very angry after knowing that their governor is doing nonsense here, and their king has not expressed his position for the time being, nor has he acted, but their ministers have asked to send heavy troops to teach us Chinese a lesson. As for the Qing court's opposition to us, we are Han people, we are afraid that we will have bad behavior towards the Qing court, or we are afraid that we will support the Han people to overthrow their rule, and the Manchu ministers say that we are overseas remnants, etc. ā€œ

"The Kingdom of the Netherlands may be secretly contacting Britain and France and other countries, this is one of the few colonies they have at present, and it is also the only colony that can bring profits, they will definitely not let go easily, but we don't know at the moment. As for the Qing court, it will not treat us Han people as human beings at all, and it is also very afraid that the Han people will develop, and they must be hostile to us. ā€

"Yes, the Dutch side sent someone too late, and I got too little news, and this was my mistake."

"Any other information?"

"France is indifferent to us at the moment, and the United States is also opposed to our establishment of a kingdom, they want us to establish a democratic state with separation of powers, and we build a kingdom, which obviously disappoints them. Japan has a hostile attitude toward us, and it does not want an independent and powerful country to emerge in Asia, and hopes that Japan will be the only one in Asia. ā€œ

"Is there a possibility that the United States and Japan will send troops to intervene?"

"Not for the time being, the Americans themselves hate war, Japan really wants to fight with us, if they win, they will occupy a piece of territory by the way, but they have just finished the Russo-Japanese War, they have paid a lot, and they have not received war reparations, and now they are poor and can't eat, without the support of Britain, he will not interfere, they just want to interfere, and they are also powerless now."

"Japan wants war, hopes to make war money, they have a large number of experienced veterans and a large number of reservists, but they don't have the money to arm, the British have money, but they just finished the Boer War, and now they don't want to participate in the war, the Americans are very rich, and they don't want to go to war with us directly, I'm afraid that Britain and the United States will pay for it, and Japan will pay for it, so we are still a little troublesome."

"Young master, our killer weapon is the submarine, what are you afraid of, as long as you dare to come, we will never let them go back."

"I'm not afraid of them, I'm afraid of trouble, I hope to negotiate with the Dutch after occupying these territories, so that they can give up here, and we must develop quickly after we establish the country, and we can't put time and energy on these troublesome things. We don't have anything in the basic industry now, and we have to start from scratch, which will take time. ā€œ

"This is easy to do, Your Majesty, the San Francisco intelligence officers have sent back the news that the Chinese in the United States are rarely interested in our founding of the country, and Situ Meitang and other Chinese are actively raising donations for us and recruiting talents who are willing to come to Nanyang for development, I believe that after stability, a large number of technicians from all walks of life will come from the United States, which will drive the development of our industry."

"Your intelligence department has done a good job, but it is still necessary to strengthen propaganda in the United States and strive to attract more Chinese to come to invest and work and settle down. In addition, pay close attention to the movements of the Japanese, and when our side is stable, we must first get rid of the little devils, otherwise I am very unsure, like Britain, France and the United States are too far away from us, their battle lines are long, and we can attack their logistics lines, and small Japan is too close to us, they can use Taiwan as a base, which is very unfavorable to us. ā€œ

"Yes, Your Majesty, I understand this, Little Japan is a dog raised by the British, and the British will bite whoever he asks him to bite."

After Li Minmin left, Zhang Wei was also thinking, what to do next, to confront Britain and France? Or do you want to develop your internal affairs with peace of mind? The only good thing that has been done to the people is to open a few grain stores, and nothing has been done in infrastructure and basic industries, let alone the development of high technology. How could the Netherlands give up the colony? The Dutch will certainly not be reconciled, and Britain, France, the United States, Japan and other countries will not be happy, they will definitely make waves. Now that the amount of gold exchange has decreased, the source of funds is limited, and the points will be spent when launching a big campaign, it is better to take measures to delay, and the points will not be so tight after the system is upgraded to the kingdom, and then it will be tough with Britain and the United States at that time, anyway, it will only be a matter of a few months.

In a house in the Akasaka district of Tokyo, Japan, in a tatami room on the second floor, several Chinese are discussing.

"Mr. Sun, the restoration of the Nanyang Lanfang Kingdom is a big event for us Chinese, and it is also an incentive for our cause, we should send someone to congratulate and ask for help."

"Keqiang, we have different political ideas from theirs, they are also our enemies, let me go and congratulate the enemy, I can't do such a thing. What do you think? ā€

"I feel that the Nanyang Lanfang Kingdom can be our friends, and we can't deny each other just because the other party has established a kingdom; I learned from the information that the other party is politically responsible for the Government Council; Militarily, it was the General Staff that was responsible, not a dictatorial feudal kingdom. I agree with Keqiang's opinion and should be congratulated, after all, this is the first independent country established by the Chinese, and we are of the same root and origin, and we should support each other. ā€œ

"You look at the problem too one-sidedly, it's hard to say whether they can withstand the counterattack of the Dutch, that is, they can withstand the attack of the Dutch, this is a naked slap in the face of the old colonial empire of the West, can Britain and France let them go? I don't know how many days it will exist, but I think I'll wait and see. ā€œ

"The Kingdom of Lanfang will definitely get the support of the local business people in Nanyang, I think we must go to congratulate and get along with the local business people, and we can use Nanyang as our development base in the future." Whether he succeeds or fails, it doesn't affect our ability to connect with local business people. ā€œ

"Since even the exhibition hall said so, let's send someone to congratulate you."

"Sir, who should be sent?"

"Let's just take a quick run."
