Chapter 726: Military Agreement

A wave of grief and indignation rose from Tan Kah Kee's heart, could it be that in the eyes of the colonists, they, the Chinese, could only become crops to be harvested? Before, he may not have approved of the idea of several major families building up force, but now he even had a sense of urgency in his heart, and he was particularly concerned about one thing, so he asked, "Why is it time to harvest?" ”

Another intelligence agent interjected: "The Qing government has perished, and the Dutch can't help it!" ”

The scene was as silent as death, what the intelligence officer said, it was simply to the point, but in one fell swoop, the Dutch were worried about the Qing government, there has always been, the Netherlands has been completely declining, there is only one 7,000-ton old ironclad ship, and the Qing government has 3 seas, all of which are 4,000-ton cutting-edge cruisers, don't look at the Dutch have 3,000 tons, but they are facing the enemy, definitely not an opponent, and now, even this Qing government has perished, replaced by three separatist forces, I'm afraid the Netherlands will really be unscrupulous.

The faces of all the Nanyang merchants suddenly changed, and this sentence went to the core, and everyone present was very aware of the situation in Southeast Asia, and they also understood the greed of the Dutch.

Chen Jiageng is an excellent businessman, he also knows a little about the international form, after reading the description in the text, especially the introduction of the Netherlands, the Netherlands is an old colonial power, but that was hundreds of years ago, in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, the Netherlands was called the coachman of the sea, but now, the Netherlands, which is small and weak, has lost its former status, he is only a small country in Europe, and the rest. Only the colony of Java remained.

destroyed the Lan Fang Kingdom but kept it a secret, and the old and weak Qing Kingdom made him vigilant. In 1900, at the feast of the great powers, the Eight-Nation Coalition broke through the city of Beijing. Britain, France, Germany, Russia, Japan, Italy, Austria and the United States, except for Spain and the Netherlands, they have completely declined.

Tensions between Europe and the Netherlands, which is located in the core, are also increasing various expenses, and in this situation, the only thing that can draw blood is probably the only colonies in Asia, and the Qing State has perished. A problem pressing on the head of the Netherlands has finally been solved, the Netherlands has been on the verge of moving since 1912, but the war against Russia in the northwest has temporarily dispelled their thoughts, but the support from Britain and France has made the heart of the Netherlands alive again, isn't it to clean up the Chinese, in the past few hundred years, they have cleaned up I don't know how many times. It's already easy to master.

The people here were all human spirits, and when the intelligence officers clicked slightly, they suddenly understood that the Dutch couldn't help but make a move. With the support of Britain and France, they were fearless, and even took it for granted that they wanted to reach out to them. Ordinary Chinese people have money there, only their families. to have enough money for the Dutch colonists to be satisfied.

After understanding the idea. Everyone's faces changed suddenly, they found that they were the objects of harvesting, more than 30 years have passed since Lan Fang's affairs, the earliest massacre, has also passed hundreds of years, a long time, so that their vigilance is weakening, especially in the current world, Britain occupies the unipolar situation of the world, has always advocated freedom and democracy, this kind of rhetoric is extremely deceptive, under the leadership of the British, Malacca gathered a large number of Chinese, Penang, Singapore, Kuala Lumpur are, the colonial policy slowed down, Let them feel that the world has changed, and they have begun to selectively contact the colonial authorities, but they don't know that this seems to expose their strength to the colonial authorities, if it is really Britain, France and the Netherlands, if they do it together, their entire family business is in great danger.

For a while, the long table meeting became a grocery store, everyone was gossiping and asking, it was related to personal vital interests, no one was unmoved, everyone's family business was in Nanyang, and there was nowhere to run, especially Zheng Mingsheng, the Zheng family's family business in Nanyang was the largest, and many of them were on Jawa Island, once the colonists raised their butcher knives and attacked them, although they would not be wiped out, they would also suffer heavy losses.

Zheng Mingsheng went directly to the intelligence officer who introduced the intelligence, and asked who would do it, whether it was only the Dutch, or the British, French, American, and Dutch people would do it, there was a huge difference between the two, if it was the latter, they probably had no place in Southeast Asia.

The intelligence officer frowned, but still answered his question, according to the analysis of the northwest, it is unlikely that Britain will do it, Britain is currently a unipolar and superpower in the world, and if they want to control the society, a chaotic situation is not what they want to see, this is also the root cause of Britain starting from piracy and fighting piracy later, how to say that it should maintain a certain face, so the British region will restrict, discriminate and suppress the Chinese, and it is unlikely that it will really do it.

The situation in France is similar to that of Britain, and the concentration of major forces in the Indochina Peninsula does not have much impact on the rich Nanyang businessmen present, as for the United States, the Philippines has been slaughtered by Spain several times, and there are very few Chinese in the Philippines, plus the country already discriminates against the Chinese, and there is also a Chinese exclusion bill in the country, so it is not clear what will be done.

Although there is no clear expression, but the meaning is already very clear, the only one who can do it may be the fearless Netherlands, Britain, France and the United States are all big countries, in this era, more or less to take into account the impact, at most it is a roundabout and cover-up method, so the harm is much smaller, at most the loss of money and goods, personal safety can be basically guaranteed.

The words of the intelligence officer calmed down most of the Nanyang Chinese businessmen, most of these Chinese businessmen are in Penang, Kuala Lumpur and Singapore, all of which are British territory, since Britain is the world hegemon, the face is still wanted, it is impossible to come naked, it is too ugly to eat like that, but the faces of some Nanyang businessmen are very ugly, especially Zheng Mingsheng, the core of their Zheng family is on Java Island, almost 70% of the land and shops are here, it can be said that it is the lifeblood, the Netherlands is almost sure to do it, Then their family has a big business, and they must be the object of staring.

Just when he didn't know what to do, Zheng Mingsheng suddenly thought of something, and suddenly asked: "Don't you have a large number of plantations in Borneo in the northwest, aren't you worried about the Dutch?" ”

"We don't worry because we're prepared!" The lieutenant colonel of the military said proudly.

At this moment, Chen Jiageng and others remembered that the German-American farm had an army, and it used the northwest to resist Russia's strong military strength, not to mention that compared with the rabble, the Dutch regular army was probably not far behind.

In fact, the change of the Dutch makes the northwest very vigilant, God knows if the Dutch will come to an extermination massacre for money, which is different from other diaspora, or ordinary Chinese doing odd jobs, this is more than 4 million Chinese gathered together, even if there is a possibility, it is impossible for him to happen.

A few months ago, it was planned to set up three divisions, all of which were recruited from the backbone of the first division, and the new army had already begun training, and now it has basically formed combat effectiveness. Starting from the first farm of the German American Farm, the vast majority of young adults have received paramilitary training, and they need to spare at least 10 days of afternoon in a month for militarized training, and even in daily life, they are mainly disciplined and strictly managed according to standards, so that they can easily transform into soldiers. Select those who are talented and suitable for being soldiers, train them in batches, and even enter the combat zone in the interior for rotation, and now, at least one battalion is stationed in each farm, and these, when the war comes, can quickly form three Nanyang divisions.

The Nanyang Division is located in the South Seas, but all the standards are not weaker than the main divisions in the northwest, whether it is guns, or artillery, or even the hard work of training, they are all about the same, abundant weapons and ammunition, plus manpower, can be expanded at any time 6 divisions of 150,000 people, these under the command of real professional sergeants, armed with Dao teeth, against the Netherlands that has declined, what can not be dealt with, the only thing to pay attention to is the Dutch East India Fleet and the British Chinese fleet, after all, Above the ocean, China is still far behind.

Therefore, the navy in the northwest has not really taken shape, and before it has a navy that can confront the powers, even if it is Borneo, the farms within 20 kilometers from the coastline will be abandoned, this is the last, last resort, the last resort is not much, the farms involved are not much, and the plan has been designed, once it is approached by the warships of the European and American powers, it can be retreated at any time, with Borneo, 150,000-200,000 mobilization capacity, at least 3 times more troops, it is possible to confront the northwest.

600,000 troops, in this world, only a few countries, with such mobilization capabilities, and only a few countries, even the Anglo-Boer War at the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century, it was only 250,000 people mobilized, South Africa has diamonds and a lot of gold, which makes Britain use so much, in exchange for this Borneo, which has no mineral deposits, just an ordinary agricultural island, is it possible, as for the Netherlands, I'm afraid there are only a few people in its own country, and all the men in the prime of life are soldiers, and it is impossible, Not to mention it.

After thinking about it, Zheng Mingsheng and they had a brief exchange, and finally made a decision, Chen Jiageng solemnly asked Yang Yuanzhao in the northwest: "We need the help of the northwest to help us establish a military system, so that the Chinese have the most basic self-protection ability!" ”

The intelligence officer and the military glanced at each other, and said in their hearts, finally here, this is the strategy after a simple discussion with the military before, and if the other party can't ask for it, they will directly sell arms and train the army, so there are too many uncertainties, and they must be given a sense of urgency. After the Northwest became powerful, it also had its own demands, and ordinary commercial purchases were not the same as military intervention.

Of course, Yang Yuanzhao is aware of the small actions of the military and intelligence departments, which can be regarded as harmless, for the interests of the northwest and the Chinese nation, it is impossible for it to be excessively harsh, in short, it is good to reach an agreement.
