Chapter 14: The Rise of the Empire

"What if the Dutch could quickly get rid of the Javanese? The fighting power of those Javanese people is like a joke, in the past, even the pampered colonial army in the Netherlands could beat them all over the ground like children, not to mention the veterans of a hundred battles who came down from the European battlefield in the Netherlands now? And it's hard for them to even get arms. Lao He said suspiciously.

"But they have hostages, and the camps of the Japanese army are mainly on the island of Java, where nearly 200,000 Dutch people are being held, including prisoners of war and even women and children, and the Dutch are really going to push them, won't they kill these hostages?

As for the arms, the Japanese army in Surabaya has lost tens of thousands of arms, where do you think those arms have gone? Yang Feng said with a smile.

In fact, Sukarno survived the first two years with the help of hostages, and the war ended in four or five years, but it was not until the signing of the Limbud Coconut Agreement in four or seven years, when the Dutch people recognized the administership of the three islands of Java, Madura and Sumatra, that the women and children who had been tortured in the prisoner of war camps for six years finally got out of the sea of suffering.

By any standard, this kind of thing is also very outrageous, and the bad people are also the victorious country, and the refugees of the victorious country actually spent two whole years in a dark concentration camp after winning the war. Moreover, according to some European media reports at the time, their days in the concentration camps were no different from those during the Japanese occupation, and even the people who guarded them did not change.

As for the armaments, nearly 20,000 Japanese troops from the main force of the Javanese army in the defense of Surabaya were equipped, and even thousands of Japanese troops directly changed their vests to join them, even so, with the support of hundreds of thousands of spontaneously organized militias, after paying the price of tens of thousands of dead and wounded, they only killed and wounded less than 1,000 British...

Anglo-Indian Army.

From this point of view, Lao He's evaluation of the combat effectiveness of these guys is still very pertinent.

However, these guys took advantage of the chaos to loot a lot of Chinese, and it is ridiculous that the local Chinese also organized volunteers to help them fight.

No one speaks to these guys, everyone is a thousand-year-old fox, no one is a fool, the current situation is very clear, first of all, the Chinese in West Borneo cannot follow the Javanese, because in that case, the Dutch people will first take West Borneo as soon as they come, after all, there are tens of millions of people on Java Island, but West Borneo has a population of 100,000 except for the Dayak headhunters in the jungle, which is very suitable for killing chickens and monkeys.

Second, Yang Feng is not well-intentioned, if, as he said, the Chinese in West Borneo established a republic by themselves, and then ran to take the initiative to hug the thighs of the Dutch people, then once the Javanese won, they will definitely not give up, and the first one will take West Borneo Liwei, so they have to seek his protection, and then join this Ming Empire.

But if these two roads are not taken, then we can only maintain the status quo, and then wait for the Dutch to take over, if the Dutch wins, everyone continues to live the pre-war colonial life, if the Javanese win, half push and half everyone get together, but in this way, the Chinese will miss the best opportunity to establish a state, and maybe it is also the only opportunity, this opportunity West Borneo Chinese have been waiting for almost half a century.

A bunch of guys, you look at me, I'll look at you, and finally Chen Kai couldn't help but smile bitterly and sighed.

"You guys are so contemptible!"

Yang Feng put his feet on the table, reached out and took a sugar cane from the bodyguard's hand, finished speaking speechlessly, and took a bite and chewed there as if no one was around.

Despise it, don't despise it, it's impossible to let these old fritters who have been cautious all their lives make a decisive choice, they are all dragging their families, each of them is a big family behind them, unlike him who has no concern, the exchange between the two sides on this issue ends here.

Naturally, you can't help but take a look around.

Although the time is very short, the construction of Ambuna Island has been in full swing, stimulated by high salaries, those workers recruited from all over Southeast Asia are bursting out of full energy, at their rate, in two months basically the airport can be used improvised, of course, just improvised, you must know that this airport is built according to the take-off and landing of B29 class aircraft.

"According to the plan, in addition to the airport and the port, there is also a ring road, one vertical and one horizontal crossroads, these roads must be hardened roads, and I also plan to build a large power plant to provide free electricity to all the residents of the island, as well as waterworks, hospitals, cinemas, schools and so on."

In the capital of the head of the Ming Empire, which was converted from the former Japanese military camp, Yang Feng pointed to a beautifully made sand table in front of him.

This is the planning map of the entire Ambuna Island, everything is marked with a model, it is placed here, and anyone can visit it, anyway, after the people on the island come in and see it, they all go out with weak legs and feet, and the head of state even has their residential communities planned, and they are all given away for free.

Anyway, there are only a few thousand people, and it doesn't cost a few dollars, but it makes the people here directly follow this Du referee.

"This is an industrial park, the things I just talked about, there will be here, and the things I didn't say will also be here, and in the future, the people here will no longer need to fish, and they will go directly to the factory to work as workers." This is a farm, a mechanized farm, whether it is transplanting or harvesting is completely mechanized, and the use of the latest improved seeds and high-efficiency pesticides, it is estimated that the yield per mu will increase by at least 50% compared with the current one. ”

Yang Feng pointed to a green area and said.

"Fifty percent?" Lao He said in disbelief.

"It should be about the same, based on the data of the last test." Yang Feng said.

In fact, he is not very bottom in his heart, unlike his previous imagination, the yield of rice per mu in Southeast Asia is actually very low, before the emergence of hybrid rice, the real highest yield per mu is in a country that ordinary people would never imagine, Australia.

And the yield per mu in this area is even inferior to Huaguo, the reason why it can be exported in large quantities is only because of the abundant water, and it can be planted at will, and then it can be planted up to three seasons a year, so that the yield will go up, but if the yield per mu is calculated alone, it is actually very low, only one or two hundred kilograms.

He is not going to use hybrid rice, so the increase in yield will definitely not be too drastic.

Although it is true that improved seeds are a good direction to make money, but not on their own territory, but a large number of genetically modified seeds to sell to rice and Europe, genetically modified corn, genetically modified soybeans, which are the favorites of the United States, if it is paired with organophosphorus plus glyphosate, it will be perfect, but it seems that organophosphorus will take two years to invent, as for glyphosate, it is even more distant, and the people of the United States have sprinkled Agent Orange in Annan.

"As for this, it will be the army and naval base in the future."

Yang Feng pointed to the small tail on the south side of Ambuna Island and said: "At present, I already have a heavy cruiser, and there will be a large number of destroyers and landing ships in the future, as for the number is not easy to say for the time being, but there is one principle that will not change, that is, my naval strength must be able to go sideways in this area."

As for the size of the army's tentative plan, it is not a pure infantry division, but this division should include an armored regiment, an airborne regiment, an artillery regiment, and even an amphibious combat regiment, plus at least two or three infantry regiments, and the total number may be close to 30,000.

As for the Air Force, it's just outside of us, and it's designed to accommodate a hundred combat aircraft, but I'm not sure if the planes were purchased from outside, or if they were made directly by me at factories in other countries, and of course, either way, you'll see bombers take off from here this year.

In this way, the army, navy, and air force combined, the total strength of my Ming Empire's defense force should be about 50,000. ”

A bunch of old guys are all stupid, Nima, there are less than 20,000 men, women, and children on your island, including foreign laborers and local residents, how can you build an army of 50,000 people?

"Immigration, the Ming Empire welcomes any immigrants, the main island of Anbuna has an area of more than 1,000 square kilometers, plus the surrounding Subi Island, Jemaja Island, and Tagmac Island, with a total area of more than 3,000 square kilometers, if it is an industrial country, it is easy to feed five million people on this land, so do you think 50,000 troops are a lot?" Yang Feng said with a smile.

Before these old fellows could wake up from their shock, he walked out with an electric horn and shouted to the thousands of laborers who were busy at the airport: "All work is suspended, and the Führer has an important matter to announce." ”

One by one, the workers stopped to look at him, stunned.

"Here, as the head of the Ming Empire, I declare that anyone who is willing to immigrate here with his whole family will be given a house for each family, which is the kind of unit building being built in the residential area over there, you can get free medical treatment when you are sick, your children can go to school for free, and the country will provide for the elderly when you are old, and now you tell me who is willing to immigrate here?"

Yang Feng, who was holding a loudspeaker, shouted.

Those laborers and Chen Kai and others who followed behind were all stupid.

"Great, my lord, do you count when you speak?"

After more than a minute of jaw-dropping, a laborer asked tremblingly.

"Whether my words count or not, just look at it."

Yang Feng said and pointed to the sea with his hand, and his hovercraft rushed to the beach very cooperatively, and then opened the front hatch, which he specially used to stimulate other people's silver mountains, and once again showed them in front of these laborers, in order to stimulate them more ruthlessly, a beautiful female robot drove a bulldozer directly from the outside to enter, and then shoveled a shovel full of silver coins, and drove to this guy and fell to the ground in an uproar, spreading it while retreating.

Yang Feng took a step forward and stood directly on the bright silver carpet.

"Now do you believe it?"

He said with a smile.
