Chapter 901: Quick War

The second question on whether the European powers are willing to admit the truth is that with the South China War, the awakening of Asia has officially begun, and if the Russo-Japanese War, which ended in the coming year, has dealt a head-on blow to the arrogant "white supremacy," then the current South Sea War marks the "Yellow Peril." The comeback, accompanied by the rumbling of artillery on the seas and land of Southeast Asia, is a scuffle in the public opinion circles of Europe and Asia. Newspapers in China, Britain, Japan, France, and other countries all reported in a very unceremonious tone about the Nanyang War, which seemed to end the colonial rule of white Europeans in Southeast Asia in one fell swoop. These insulting words filled the front pages of Asian and European newspapers, and regardless of the tendencies of the newspapers and public opinion, it was an undeniable basic fact that many non-belligerents in Asia and Europe had been involved in this sudden war in the South Seas before the outcome had been officially decided.

On April 7, the 7th year of the A.D. Dynasty, China officially announced the severance of all diplomatic relations with the Netherlands on the grounds that the Dutch East Indies colonial authorities brutally treated the overseas Chinese in Nanyang. And at the same time declared war on the Netherlands, late that night.

These two naval battles marked the official outbreak of the Nanyang War, and the next day, the government of the Kingdom of the Netherlands officially declared war on China on the grounds that it had been undeclared by the Chinese forces, and the Sino-Dutch War broke out again.

In the face of the sudden outbreak of the South China War, the Enhancer bloc led by Britain and France tried to mediate the Sino-Dutch conflict, and used trade sanctions as a threat to force the warring parties to stop the war.

In April, seeing that the Sino-Dutch war had officially broken out, the Japanese government, cabinet, and diet held an emergency meeting. After a heated debate, an agreement was finally reached and it was decided to present an ultimatum to the Netherlands. The Dutch government was asked to hand over to Japan German fugitives who had fled to the Dutch East Indies colony, and threatened if the Dutch government did not accept the Japanese proposal. Then the Japanese government will take "freedom action" according to the situation Late at night on the day the Japanese Diet passed the motion, the emperor convened a pre-imperial meeting, and the next day.

The next day, the Japanese naval detachment in New Guinea raided a Dutch naval detachment and annihilated it, then shelled the Dutch fortress and covered the Japanese army stationed there to quickly capture several Dutch-controlled towns, and the land war in the South Seas War began.

On the day of April, the Chinese South Sea Detachment covered a convoy from Sumatra Island to carry out a landing operation on Java Island, because the Dutch East Indian Colony Governor disappeared in the Battle of Belyang, the Dutch East Indies colonial authorities fell into a panic, and the main force of the Dutch colonial army was in Borneo, the number of Javanese Dutch troops was small, and there was a lack of training, so when the Sumatra Rahua People's League carried out the landing operation on Java Island under the cover of the Chinese Navy, it almost did not encounter resistance. and captured Batavia on the afternoon of the Knife of April. The Dutch flag fluttered in front of the Dutch East India Governor's Palace, and later, a naval battle began off the coast of Batavia, and after half an hour of fighting, the last cruiser of the Dutch Navy stationed in the East India Colonies was sunk by the Chinese Navy, and the Netherlands had completely lost its naval supremacy in the East Indies.

On the night of the end of the Battle of Batavia, the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs held a special meeting to announce its support for Sumatra's independence claim, and the Chinese Navy would assist the local militia groups to continue fighting until the Netherlands accepted the reality of Sumatra's independence. It is not a joint operation, therefore, legally, China and Japan do not formally form a military alliance. China will continue to maintain a neutral position in the war in Europe.

In April, the news of the fall of Batavia was confirmed, and the Netherlands was in a panic, and the financial situation was violently turbulent, because of the rumors that the Dutch government was about to enter the war against Germany, the price of food and fuel in the Netherlands soared, and finally led to a national protest, the Dutch minister had to make a public statement, announcing that the Netherlands would continue to maintain stability in the war between the Entente and the Central Powers, and in response to the statement of the Dutch government, the British government and the French government announced the cessation of mediation efforts in the South Seas War on the same day that the Dutch table spoke publicly.

In the face of the attack of the Chinese and Japanese teams, the Dutch East Indies colonial authorities were completely unable to control the local situation, and indigenous riots broke out in Borneo, Maluku, Siribes, Ambo and other areas one after another. The Dutch colonial rule of the East Indies has been in a state of collapse, and the turbulent situation in the East Indies has further spread to the entire Southeast Asian region, with anti-colonial riots in Malaya, the Philippines, the French Indochinese landstubble, and the British Burma colonies.
