Between the boundless Pacific Ocean and the Indian Ocean, looking down through the morning mist as light as a veil, there are many white lines that seem to be absent at the junction of the sea and the sky, and more than 10,000 large and small islands float, that is, the Dutch Indonesian archipelago. The capital of Indonesia at that time was Jakarta, the largest city in Southeast Asia, a famous seaport, located on the northwestern coast of the island of Java.

In 1902, Indonesia was a Dutch colony and was rich in strategic materials such as oil, rubber, bauxite and tin products. The Netherlands gained independence in 1648 and was a seafaring and trading power in the 17th century, known as the "coachman of the sea". The Netherlands established colonies and trading posts around the world, becoming a maritime colonial power. In the late 17th century, the Netherlands was at war with England and France, and the Netherlands was defeated by England at sea and France on land, thus declining. In 1795 the Netherlands was also occupied by France, and in 1810, France annexed the whole of the Netherlands. After the collapse of Napoleon's empire in 1813, the Netherlands regained its independence and formed the Kingdom of the Netherlands with Belgium and Luxembourg, but in 1830, Belgium became independent from the Netherlands. The Netherlands became a constitutional monarchy in 1848, and its power was significantly weaker than before, and its control over Indonesia was very weak.

In 1890, King William III of the Netherlands passed away, and as all three of his sons died, the Kingdom of the Netherlands ended its male hereditary history, and was succeeded by William III's 10-year-old young daughter, Wilhelm Mina, who was regent by his mother, Queen Emma. In 1898, when Wilhelmina was 18 years old, she looked like a blooming golden tulip and was relatively popular with the Dutch people.

So in 1902, the Netherlands was in the reign of the twenty-two-year-old Queen Wilhelmina, but at that time, the constitutional monarchy was very unpopular in the Netherlands, and the popular resistance was very strong, and there were revolutionary parties, liberal parties, and socialist parties in the country. Song Xiaofei estimated that there was no problem in defeating the Netherlands at this time, and the key was how to persuade Britain, the United States, Germany, France and other European powers not to interfere, especially Germany. In 1901, Queen Wilhelmina married Hendrik, Duke of Mecklenburg-Schwerin, Germany. Although their marriage was not very lovely, the Netherlands and Germany were clearly politically allied.

In addition to army chief Duan Qirui, navy chief Liu Buchan, and other senior military generals, foreign affairs chief Dinh Phuong and internal affairs chief Nguyen Trung Shu were also present at the presidential palace for a roundtable meeting on the same day.

At that time, Wu Tingfang expressed concern that the European powers would interfere with China's dispatch of troops to the South Seas, saying: "In the name of protecting overseas Chinese, we will use troops against Indonesia. The British and Americans will not have an opinion, but Germany may not have an opinion, Spain because of the Cuban War, and France because of China's recent recovery of the French Concession. If we don't, we'll have to face the fleets of the Netherlands, Germany, France, and Spain. ”

Because Indonesia is an island country, the main purpose of this operation is the navy, and Song Xiaofei has long asked the chief of the navy Liu Buyun to prepare to occupy the South Seas, he asked Liu Buyun, "With China's current naval strength, is it sure to take Indonesia?" ”

Liu Buyun said. "In the South Seas, there are now mainly British colonies, occupying Penang, Singapore, Brunei and Malacca. The Dutch, German, French, and Spanish warships in the South Seas did not add up to 25. We can now transfer about 50 warships to Indonesia. As long as Britain supports China, blockade the Strait of Malacca. Even if you have to fight the fleets of the Netherlands, Germany, France, and Spain. We don't have a problem either! ”

Song Xiaofei nodded, he remembered that in history, starting on January 24, 1942, Japan defeated the combined fleet of the Netherlands, the United States, Britain and Australia under the command of Rear Admiral Duerman in the Java Sea, and took Indonesia in more than a month. As long as Britain and the United States support China, there is still a great deal of certainty that Indonesia will be taken. He asked Liu Buchan, "Do you estimate how many more land forces will be needed to cooperate with the landing operation?" ”

Liu Buyun said. "According to our reconnaissance in the early stage, if China wins the naval battle in the Java Sea, the army can land at the same time in four places, including Pontianak, Dong Wanlu, Shankouyang, and Bangka, and the defenders of the Dutch and Indian governments on the island are only about 10,000, I think one army is enough."

Song Xiaofei nodded and asked Duan Qirui about the army's preparations.

Duan Qirui said. "The army now has three armies with 300,000 people who can go to Nanyang to fight."

Song Xiaofei said: "Very good, then it is decided, send 100,000 people of Nie Shicheng's Sixth Army to Indonesia, and let Liu Mingchuan send another 20,000 people from Taiwan to support when the time comes." Strive for a quick victory and take Indonesia in two months. When the time comes. First of all, we have stipulated that the Chinese are the dominant ethnic group, and no matter what ethnic group, regardless of men, women, and children, as soon as they see Chinese, they must stand upright and bow 90 degrees; whoever is negligent will be slapped and whipped to see who will dare to bully overseas Chinese in the future! ”

By the way, in history, Nie Shicheng was killed in the defense of Tianjin during the Gengzi Revolution. But after Song Xiaofei crossed over, history changed. Nie Shicheng was sixty-six years old at this time, a fierce general in the Huai Army, and his body was also quite tough, and he was as famous as Liu Mingchuan and Liu Yongfu in the army. After Song Xiaofei drove the Japanese army out of the northeast, he reorganized the original Huai Army into the Sixth Army, and Nie Shicheng was mainly responsible for the training and innovation of the old Huai Army. Nie Shicheng is worthy of being a famous general who has been on the battlefield for a long time, and under his leadership, the Sixth Army has rejuvenated itself and greatly increased its combat effectiveness.

Wu Tingfang saw that Song Xiaofei's decision to send troops to Indonesia had been decided, so he suggested: "Although the reason for protecting overseas Chinese is good, it is better for us to create some public opinion about the war now." ”

Song Xiaofei said: "You're right, then we'll salute first and then soldier." You go to intervene with the Dutch ambassador to China on my behalf, we can send a delegation to Jakarta to negotiate, let the Dutch and Indian governments surrender Indonesia, China can give three million silver dollars to buy Indonesia, if they refuse, we can naturally occupy Indonesia by force. ”

"It's a good idea. ”

Song Xiaofei glanced at the senior officials at the round table, "Do you still have any opinions, if you don't have any opinions, you will do your job." Get started now. ”

At this time, Ruan Zhongshu stood up and said, "I have an idea, and I don't know whether to talk about it or not. ”

Song Xiaofei said: "Dou Zhan, if you have something to say, just say it." ”

Ruan Zhongshu said: "Actually, in the Nanyang region, we still have some people to take advantage of, that is, the revolutionary party, according to my information, now split from the Fumin League, the Guangfu Society, the Huaxing Society, and Zhu Dixiang and others are incompatible, the government can pardon some of the revolutionary party, let them atone for their sins in Nanyang, and when the time comes, we will kill two birds with one stone." ”

There was a discussion at the scene, Duan Qirui stood up and said: "The party is a group of rabble, and we should not take their role too seriously." ”

Song Xiaofei considered that there were indeed talents such as Song Renjiao and Huang Keqiang in the party, and said: "You all have some truth in what you say. After this setback, the overseas Chinese in Nanyang should understand the truth that only when the motherland is strong can they not be bullied, and the foundation of the revolutionary party in Nanyang will be gone. But don't take them too seriously. In short, our goal is: to take Indonesia as soon as possible! ”
