It was okay before, but I didn't treat the German and American farms as relatives to offer, why did there be such an attitude of judging the two, not only the German and American farms were very strange here, but the northwest was also a little curious, and after a serious investigation, it was found that the root was also in the British and French.

It stands to reason that the Netherlands is closer to Germany than Britain, and it should be closer to Germany, but in fact, the Netherlands is a neutral country, except for the royal family and the Wilhelm family, it is close to Britain and France in politics, especially in Southeast Asia, the Netherlands is no longer the original powerful sea coachman, he is just an ordinary, small country that has been eliminated by the world situation, and the only colony is surrounded by Britain, France and the United States.

This time Yang Yuanzhao's trip to Europe, not to mention the rich harvest, can be regarded as the wealth of the northwest, completely placed in front of Britain and France, before perhaps Britain and France did not care about the northwest, China has been completely backward, by Britain and France and other powers to control and divide up, but this time, the strong rise of the northwest, is already unstoppable, such a country with a strong production capacity and construction capacity, if it is too close to Germany, this is not a good thing.

For the time being, the energy of Britain and France is still involved in the European side, and there is no way to look at this side for the time being, but it is still possible to appropriately block Germany and the northwest, and the German-American farm, on the surface, is the industry of the Germans, but it has applied for a part of the Chinese farmers, even if it does not need to be investigated, it is also regarded as the cooperation between the northwest and Germany. Hence the focus as well.

Poplar they tried their best to maneuver, but fortunately they had fed enough gold to the governor of the Netherlands and officials at all levels, although they continued to exert pressure. But Cheng Dù, who did not make things happen, made a series of adjustments to the farms, which were already closer to the city, and moved the personnel closer to the interior, and not in the Dutch colonial manual, which they had never controlled, but on the other hand. The plan to arm Borneo was also carried out in the northwest.

Borneo is the third largest island in the world, with a total area of 740,000 square kilometres. It is much larger than the mainland of France and Germany, and although it has no mineral resources, it has excellent natural conditions and is one of the islands that is naturally suitable for the development of agriculture. Arm Borneo. Even with the help of force, completely occupy Borneo, this plan has long been in the design of the northwest, and a large number of soldiers and weapons on the island are also for this, but it has not been further because of the lack of external environment.

Borneo, and even Indonesia. Surrounded by the forces of the great powers, Britain, France and the United States, if it weren't for Yang Yuanzhao, knew that World War I would inevitably break out. He didn't dare to take advantage of the fire here anymore, because the powerful Britain, France and the United States, relying directly on the battleship, would make him lose more than he lost.

Now, the European war has not broken out for the time being, but the Dutch are under pressure from Britain and France. Started to be aggressive, even with bribes and past friendships. It won't last long, and we have to consider the possibility of Borneo breaking out before the European war, and even in a sense, this possibility is very large.

The Dutch are nothing, these two sister ships, Zhoushan and Chongming, are enough to solve the old armored ships of more than 7,000 tons of the Dutch, as for the army, the German-American plantation that is currently expanding to a type A army, 70,000 army forces that have undergone strict training in the northwest, and the longest is almost 2 years of professional training, they are not afraid of the Dutch rabble at all, but after defeating the Netherlands, liberating Borneo, and even the whole of Indonesia, Britain controls the Strait of Malacca, and absolutely does not want a strong force, In Borneo, which is so close at hand, the attitude of France and the United States is probably similar.

Concentrated on the analysis of a large number of staff officers, and finally issued hundreds of response plans, almost immediately brought to Borneo by intelligence officers, and the plan that was slowly promoted by itself was accelerated in an instant, including arming the Black Mountain pirates, with two modified 8,500-ton warships and several destroyers and submarines to form a fleet of combat effectiveness, and for Borneo's assistance, it was also urgently opened later.

According to the plan, Borneo needs to hoard enough 100,000 people to fight for about 1 year, a large amount of grain and grass and logistics materials, must be under the premise of losing the right to control the sea, firmly hold Borneo, to ensure the safety of the current Borneo close to 4 million immigrants, wait for the opportunity, completely occupy Borneo, for this reason, a large number of arms and materials are needed, and the premise of transporting these is to find a suitable location and build a seaport in a relatively private place closer to Borneo. These supplies were then transported to Borneo in pieces.

Time is tight, the task is heavy, Xiao Jianfeng and they are close to Borneo after the New Year, looking for a city suitable as a seaport, at least a temporary seaport, 100,000 people fighting for a year's munitions, the number may be hundreds of thousands of tons, plus all kinds of necessary materials and the like, this number is even larger, and it must meet the ability to dock more than 5,000 tons of cargo ships.

They are looking for a small island, in Southeast Asia, there are many small islands, but they are looking for one, not on the main waterway, a small island that the Western colonizers have not noticed, and there is also a suitable size, at the very least, to be able to build a dock and have fresh water and land, this is the root of the construction of a permanent defensive island, with them, the ships in the northwest, no longer have to go through Guò Kuala Lumpur to transship, just tilt the cargo to the top, and then it's OK,

Found it, just near Borneo, on the east side of the entire island, close to another large island, Sulawesi, but not on the main channel, but in a relatively remote location, the island is only about 3.6 square kilometers, just close to the seaside where a German-American farm is located, less than 100 nautical miles.

In the sea, the distance of 100 nautical miles is really not far, but for this era, it means that the voyage of more than 5 hours has probably gone deep into the ocean, which is also a very secret place, and if an armed military port is built in this place, it is unimaginable for the security of the entire Lanfang side, and the most important thing is that he is out of everyone's field of vision, Xiao Jianfeng still relied on the pirates' familiarity with these hidden islands to find out, which has to enter, It is impossible to come directly from Sulawesi, you need to change the channel twice, through a coral reef area in Guò, and turn into Borneo here, unless someone leads the way, you can't get here at all.

On the Borneo side, it is already close to the easternmost side, and the Dutch power here has not expanded, it is all a native area, and only after the expansion of the German and American farms has established a plantation of more than 70 square kilometers here.

Northwest, after so many years of development, not only in the country, has a strong strength, even in shipping, but also has a strong strength, with Harpy led by several fleets, the current total tonnage, reached 3 million tons, relative to a country, this is not a big number, the world's first maritime power, the United Kingdom, with tens of millions of tons of shipping, of course, in the future of the war, he it was hit quite hard, lost the first position.

However, for the journey from China to Southeast Asia, a few months of hard work will change the appearance of this small island, bricks and tiles can be used locally, and ash can be transported from outside, as long as the port is successfully built, the rest does not need to be considered.

Here was close to the lair of a pirate black dragon, the name sounded, similar to Montenegro, but he is also a famous pirate, the black dragon pirate is a more well-known pirate in Southeast Asia, and even ransacked British oil tankers, however, in the next 10 years, was chased by the British very miserably, almost a head rat, but also from the very beginning, with more than 30 armed ships, to now, only less than one percent of the strength, and even lost the ability to go to sea to rob, the last sea battle in the Strait of Malacca, It didn't participate, it just hid on the island to recuperate, and Xiao Jianfeng was also guided by an old pirate who had been on the island, so he found this place.

The matter is very important, Xiao Jianfeng did not dare to act rashly, but carefully observed the island, and even discharged special team members, and went to the island to find out the situation on the island. This small island of only 3.6 square kilometers, with more than 10 springs, the water source is enough for 10,000 people to live, the black dragon pirates on the island have a total of more than 1,500 people, with 7 armed merchant ships and hundreds of large and small sea ships, from the strength, it is still good, but the long-term suppression, so that their young and middle-aged people are smaller, only about a quarter, less than 500 people, can not open so many ships at all, now the pirates on the island have basically turned to farming, except for 2 armed merchant ships also take turns to operate, almost rely on planting to feed.

Except for the situation of the black dragon pirates on the island, the environment of this island is more suitable for a port, the north side of the island, the two mountain ranges extending into the sea, almost like two broad arms, take that natural port in their arms, if he is slightly modified, clean up the channel and build a wave break, it is enough to become a large port with an annual throughput of more than one million tons.

After some of the sketches and basic information had been transmitted to the northwest through the guò channel, and after careful study and evaluation of the situation and location of the island itself, the General Staff decided to take action on this island, which was located on the east side of Borneo, a relatively good natural harbor, which, although not on the busy main waterway, could become a secret supply point and a naval base, and which had natural advantages for the northwest, and which had to be kept in its hands.
