The residence of the Governor of Erguang has not yet been completed. Therefore, Su Shiyu met these guests from Borneo at the naval base, these guests are basically local Chinese and overseas Chinese, some of whom have settled in Borneo for hundreds of years, and may not even be able to speak Chinese. But without exception, they all had dual citizenship, with a colonial residence permit issued by the Dutch colonial authorities on one side and a Chinese passport issued to them by the central government of China on the other.

Don't underestimate this. Dual nationality. It is the best excuse for China to meddle in local affairs. It is also the most convenient excuse that these Chinese with dual nationality are legally Chinese citizens and are protected by the Chinese central government, and if their interests are violated, the Chinese central government can justifiably intervene in them, and in the Sumatra incident of that year, the Chinese central government took advantage of this very skillfully.

In order to issue these passports, the Chinese consulates in Nanyang have been as lively as a market for the past six months. There was a long queue outside the consulate all day long, and the local Chinese went to the consulate to get a Chinese passport with a letter of introduction and a letter of introduction issued by the Chinese association, in the past, these Chinese did not attach importance to this nationality issue, because in the past, even if they paid attention to it, it was useless, the Manchu Dynasty was weak and weak, and was unable to take into account the interests of the Nanyang Chinese, but now the situation is completely different from the past, through a Sino-Dutch Nanyang War, overseas Chinese and Chinese have seen the gold content of the Chinese passport, with this passport, it is basically equivalent to receiving a talisman, when there is something, take it out and light it up. At least the officials of the foreign colonies no longer dare to arrest people casually, and when they land at the docks, Chinese citizens can also undergo the same procedures as British citizens, and no longer have to be washed with seawater with rubber pipes like the "piglets" of the past.

A small passport that can be used for a lot. The local Chinese carried them with them, and even when they visited the future governor of Bangka Island, they took out their passports for fear of being taken for outsiders.

Su Shiyu politely asked the Chinese to put away their passports, and he also understood why these people did this, just to let Su Shiyu know that they are all Chinese citizens, and in the future, once there is something happening in Borneo, please ask the Governor of Su to take care of it, after all, the Bangka Island Naval Base is basically a stone's throw away from Borneo, and the Chinese Navy can quickly mobilize to deal with the changes in the situation in Borneo.

In this regard, Su Shiyu can only smile bitterly, if the relationship between countries is really as simple as the overseas Chinese think, the reason why China dared to go to war with the Netherlands back then was because the Netherlands was a soft persimmon and easy to pinch, but for the British who discriminated against the Chinese in the Malayan Peninsula, the Chinese government maintained restraint, and the reason was very simple, Britain was far stronger than the Netherlands. China must also be cautious about its declining empire

Su Shiyu also knew that the current situation in Borneo was quite complicated, because all countries regarded Borneo as a public colony with "open doors and equal interests", so the forces of various countries were engaged in open and covert struggle here, and this struggle began before the European war ended. Now, the war in Europe is over, and so is the Paris Peace Conference. The League of Nations was then formed. As a result, Britain and France were able to step up their intervention in Borneo, and in this situation, the international situation became more complicated and the struggle became more and more intense.

It is still unclear who will die in the end, but one thing is clear, that is, two camps have been formed in the competition for interests in Borneo. The camps are the United Kingdom, France, and the Netherlands, and the other camp is China, the United States, and Japan, at present. Strategically, it was the Anglo-French-Dutch bloc that had the upper hand, because these three countries had the strongest traditions in the South Seas, but tactically, it was China, the United States and Japan that had the upper hand, because China and Japan had the largest number of immigrants there, and the United States used Filipino immigrants to occupy some advantages in this immigration war.

Borneo is a large island, small and rich in resources, especially oil. It has become one of the most important economic lifelines in the region, and its oil production is mainly exported to China and Japan, which alone determines the uncompromising position of China and Japan in Borneo's interests. As for the United States, in addition to wanting to control Borneo's resources, the US government also intends to counter the "Greater European Doctrine" represented by Britain and France on the Borneo issue, in retaliation for Europe's exclusion and suppression of the United States on the issue of the League of Nations. It is precisely because of this that China, Japan, and the United States have fought side by side and become a group in the competition for the interests of Borneo. As for the other one. Competing interest groups. The British colonial authorities enacted a series of discriminatory policies and laws in order to expel the increasingly dominant Chinese immigrants in Borneo, and now the Chinese in West Borneo and North Borneo are in a very difficult situation, not only economically oppressed. And politically powerless, the Chinese there are rapidly moving to East Borneo and South Borneo, because the area is controlled by the Dutch, and the Dutch government is wary of the Chinese government's toughness, and can only turn a blind eye.

However, on the other hand, while expelling the Chinese forces, the British colonial authorities relaxed restrictions on Japanese immigrants and allowed Japan to increase the number of immigrants to the local area, so the Japanese government's position in the battle for Borneo was comparable

billions of old ones, unlike the U.S. government. Willing to support the problem of Borneo Bu Cangli, concave soup

Today's rush to Bangka Island these Chinese are from North Borneo and West Borneo to the local immigrants, they are now also preparing to move their families to the Dutch-controlled area, this time, originally intended to negotiate with Shen Honglie on the issue of sea escort in the waters of Little Borneo has always been rampant with pirates, after the South China War, pirates are more active, although China, Japan and other ** ships are sparing no effort to pursue pirates, but this takes time, so, once the Chinese immigrants in Borneo plan to move, The Chinese have been operating in the area for many years, and they have a lot of belongings, such as cattle, farm tools, grain, looms, and hand tools. It is also the property of pirates, not to mention that the ship itself is also property, and the larger the fleet, the more it needs naval escort.

This time, the migration to South Borneo was prepared by a large fleet of more than 100 ships, which would normally require two or more destroyers to escort the military forces that the current Bangka naval base could provide.

Borneo is located in tropical waters and is densely forested. Most of the interior is largely in a state of wilderness. Land transportation is not convenient, and if you need to emigrate, it is best to take the sea route.

In the past, Shen Honglie had sent this kind of escort mission, and the center had also specially told him about it, so basically he didn't bother to say anything, and soon, the Chinese got a promise that as long as the date of the fleet was determined, Shen Honglie would send several destroyers or gunboats to escort the migrant fleet.

The next thing is Su Shiyu's conversation with the immigration representatives, through the conversation, Su Shiyu learned that there are not many Chinese reclamation farms in West Borneo and North Borneo at present, and Japanese immigrants usually accept those reclamation farms transferred by Chinese immigrants, but unlike Chinese immigrants, Japanese immigrants are basically unarmed, while Chinese immigrants usually like to arm themselves to the teeth, this habit is actually used to the central government, in the former Qing Dynasty, The Chinese are usually regarded as lambs by the colonists of the Nanyang countries, but now, the colonial authorities of the Nanyang countries are very troubled by this martial atmosphere of the Chinese society, which is also an important reason for the British colonial authorities to reject the Chinese.

"Of course, if you are armed, if you don't arm yourself, it will be the lamb to be slaughtered, Su Shiyu evaluated.

"Everything has advantages and disadvantages, the Chinese society is rampant with guns, but also not good for public security, in the past, the villagers fought with knives and sticks, but now, often disagreeing is a rain of bullets, I hope that the governor of Su will convey this situation to the center, please find a way to regulate the situation in Lanfang, there are private guns all over the place, and gangsters are rampant, and the League has tried to regulate it, but it lost the presidential election. We originally planned to immigrate to Lanfang, but due to the chaos of local security, we had to immigrate to South Borneo. One of the immigration representatives sighed.

"Of course, although private possession of hunting rifles is not prohibited in China, but it is also necessary to play with a gun license, where like Lanfang, robbers, bandits, and indigenous mobs also have a lot of guns and bullets in their hands, not only long guns are overflowing. Pistols are also everywhere, and it would be strange if the law and order were good. Shen Honglie nodded, agreeing with that person's statement, he is not like Su Shiyu, who has just arrived, and does not know the local situation in Nanyang, he has been here for a while, and knows the situation in Lanfang, actually. The presidential election for the Second Republic of Lan Fang actually began with the sound of gunfire. At the same time, it ended in the sound of gunfire, and several candidates ate black guns and had to withdraw from the race. Even Huang Xing, the candidate nominated by the Alliance, almost ate the black gun, as for the final defeat of the Alliance, it has nothing to do with the black gun, in the final analysis, it is the power of the Fellow Townsman Association that is far superior to the Alliance.

"Lan Fang has just established the country. The situation will always calm down. If you talk about assassination, when the Republic of China was first established, wasn't it also an assassination? Weren't Mr. Tao and Mr. Song assassinated by their political enemies? ”

Su Shiyu has seen the world in the end, unlike everyone who is not optimistic about Lan Fang's exhibition prospects, he is also a supporter of the constitutionalists, he really wants to see Lan Fang realize the real constitutionalism, and set an example for the country.

After gossiping for a while, Su Shiyu saw that it was not early. He instructed the adjutant to prepare lunch for the people. While Shen Honglie was talking to everyone, he rushed to the telegraph room, personally drafted a secret telegram, and ordered the telegraph operator to shoot it out immediately.

The recipients of the report were the Ministry of the Air Force and the Commander's Hall, and in the telegram, Su Shiyu put forward an idea.

"The situation in Borneo is very complicated and I think it is necessary for our country to take precautions in this situation. Now the construction of the Bangka airbase is nearing completion, and once the construction of the airbase is completed, heavy bombers can be taken off and landed, at that time. I hope to be able to send long-range reconnaissance and carrier-based aircraft to carry out photographic reconnaissance of the entire island of Borneo for some time in order to draw up a complete and detailed map of the island for possible future use, should the situation so require. then he could quickly launch a military attack on the island.
