Chapter 33 Large-scale Arms Procurement
The Ming-Ho Temasek Treaty formally confirmed the sovereignty of the Ming Empire over the Ambuna Islands, and at the same time, the four islands of Anambas, South Anbula, Tammeran, and Badas, also included in the scope of the Greater Anbuna Islands, which add up to a total area of more than 3,000 square kilometers and a total population of about 80,000 so far, which is the basis for the founding of the Ming Empire.
However, the most suitable place to live here is the island of Greater Anbuna.
"This lady, I admit that I carried out a tucha in Batavia, and I will not deny anything I have done, but I would like to ask you why you did not stand up and condemn the Javanese when those innocent Chinese were killed by the Javanese?"
At a press conference later, Yang Feng sneered and said to an Australian female reporter who questioned him.
"Your Excellency, but only about 20 Chinese were killed, and you killed more than 20,000 of them." The female reporter said excitedly.
"More than two dozen? You didn't condemn because they killed too few Chinese? Can I understand it that way? ”
"No, no, that's not what I meant."
The female reporter said in red.
"Hmph, is it because the Chinese die less that it can change the fact that they killed the Chinese? You think that Javanese people are dying more, but I don't think so, I think they are dying less. I once said that every Chinese is my brother and sister, and in my opinion, the life of every Chinese cannot be measured by value, and the life of a thousand Javanese people is not worth the life of a Chinese person. If it weren't for mercy, I would have kept killing, and I would have made them understand that there is a price to be paid for mistakes, and that the blood debt must be paid with blood. ”
"Your Excellency, we should not respond to violence with violence."
"No, for some inferior goods, only a whip can let them know what justice and justice are, only a whip can erase their bloodthirsty nature, and if the whip is not enough, they still need to use a knife, maybe one day, when they really enter the age of civilization, they will thank me, I made them understand the truth of being a man."
"Your Excellency, I admit that the vast majority of Javanese are ignorant, but what is needed for them is probation rather than killing."
"Probation? It took hundreds of years for the Dutch to convert them into civilized, and I am not interested in spending hundreds of years on the same. ”
Well, the Dutch people don't call it probation, okay!
A group of reporters besieging Yang Feng couldn't help but slander.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I think Your Excellency is right when you say that, from the Javanese Bao to kill women and children rescued from concentration camps, to the captives who laid down their arms, to the recent looting of the Tu to kill the Chinese, the killing of the Malays in West Borneo, and the detention of hundreds of thousands of civilians, it can be seen that in the previous hundreds of years, despite our countless efforts, we have not been able to let the light of civilization dispel the demons in their hearts, which can also be seen from their refusal to convert to God.
I know that there are doubts about our resumption of rule here, that Her Majesty needs to listen to the voice of the Javanese people and that they should be given freedom, but have you ever thought about the consequences of giving them freedom for such a people? Without the shackles of ropes, the devil in their hearts will be completely released, and then they will turn into a group of bloodthirsty beasts that devour other civilizations in this land, Chinese, Malays, Ambons...
You need to understand that Javanese are not the only ones living in this land.
To give the Javanese a sin is tantamount to a crime against them.
But Her Majesty will not be stingy with her kindness to truly civilized peoples, such as West Borneo. Her Majesty has decided that the people of West Borneo will be given autonomy, and that the Government of the Kingdom of the Netherlands will no longer send troops and government officials there, but only a symbolic governor, and the people there will elect themselves a Prime Minister and a Parliament, decide for themselves how to govern their homeland, and in the future they will be given autonomy to other areas that Her Majesty considers to have attained the same level of civilisation, as the case may be. ”
Fan who attended the press conference with him. Mock said with a smile on the side.
Of course, he said it nicely, and the clever ones immediately understood that the Dutch government was beginning to divide the peoples of the East Indies.
In fact, negotiations between the Government of the Netherlands and the Government of the Republic of Java have begun.
The Britons were anxious to get out, but until the prisoners of war who had been taken by the Javanes were freed, they could not go until their surrender was completed, and negotiation was the best way to go. The Dutch government is not likely to mass-increase its troops in the short term because the country is clearing up the rubble, so they are also willing to delay a little time and get their hundreds of thousands of compatriots out first.
The Sukarno government, which was frightened in the battle of Surabaya, also recognized its own strength, and their continued resistance was to continue to draw the Britons into this war, which did not do them any good, and they were also willing to negotiate to send the Britons away first, and by the way, accumulate strength, and then have a better chance of winning against the Dutch alone.
All these factors have taken together to bring about peace talks between the two sides.
Of course, this has nothing to do with Yang Feng, and he is also very clear about the final result of this peace talks, that is, the Lin Ya Yedi Agreement.
The Government of the Netherlands recognized the right of the Republic of Java to administer the islands of Sumatra, Java and Madura and promised to gradually withdraw its troops from the areas under its control.
Then the Javanese released the hostages, and the Anglo-Indian army withdrew from the East Indies, but handed over all the control areas to the Dutch army that came in for reinforcements. Mock did not hesitate to launch the first police operation, which eventually took control of the vast majority of Mishima.
However, under the intervention of the Mi people, the two sides finally signed the Renville Agreement on the Mi destroyer. The Mok Line compresses the Republic of Java into a small area on the islands of Java and Sumatra.
After that, the Javanese finally came to the road, and used the Jasmine Fen incident and 8,000 heads of social workers to show their loyalty to the United States.
When the second police operation, the Dutch people completely wiped out the Republic of Java and threw all the members of the Sukarno government into a small island in a lake on the island of Sumatra, the Americans finally stood up to support them, and used the threat of kicking the Netherlands out of the Marshall Plan to force the Dutch government to pinch its nose and release the Sukarno gang again, and hastily set up a Dutch-Indian federation under the auspices of the United States. Then the Dutch began to withdraw their troops from the East Indies, completely abandoning the struggle for this colony, and even when Sukarno invaded West Irian, they were too lazy to resist.
Of course, this is the original history, and the new version will certainly not be like this, because a-stirring stick as thick as a beam has been inserted.
After the signing of the Treaty of Temasek in Benediction, Yang Feng and Fan Feng were immediately vant. Mock signed an arms purchase agreement, which was bought from Britain by the Dutch government...
"An aircraft carrier." Yang Feng raised his finger and said.
"What do you want an aircraft carrier for?" Fan. Mock said incredulously.
"Play, can you manage my money?" Yang Feng said with a smile: "The Radiance class is fine, it must be equipped with carrier-based aircraft, but it must be brought to me next year." ”
Aircraft carriers are a must, but brilliance is not his real goal, mankind has begun to enter the jet age, this kind of small aircraft carrier of more than 20,000 tons is just a meaning, but in the short term to train pilots, go out and bully the Javanese who have not even had a fighter jet so far. Especially the training of pilots is very important, after all, it is easy for him to get weapons, but it is very difficult to get people to use weapons, and after a few years to install a steam catapult, it will still be able to hold out in the next twenty years, and Brazilians can use a rotten giant class into the twenty-first century, not to mention that this is still glorious.
The Centaur can indeed be considered, but the problem is that the Britons may not be willing to sell, and even if they sell, it is impossible to complete the follow-up construction in the short term, not to mention that they cannot develop the steam catapult in advance in order to sell an aircraft carrier, and there is no substantial difference between the Centaur class and the Radiance class equipped with a hydraulic catapult, but the latter can be obtained immediately, because the Britons are ready to retire them from active service.
Since he thinks that there is a lot of money and nowhere to spend, then Fan. Mo Ke didn't bother to care, anyway, the Dutch government had a five-percent commission, and he wasn't afraid that Yang Feng would buy all three of the brilliance.
"A heavy cruiser, I'm interested in the Prussian Prinz Eugen, can you operate it and get it." Yang Feng continued.
Two heavy cruisers are enough, he already has one, just add one.
"The Prince Eugen is back to the United States."
"The people of the United States are also people, and they also want money, don't they?"
"Let's give it a try!"
"If the Americans don't sell it, then don't buy heavy cruisers, the Britons don't have any good things there, it is estimated that the London class they may not be able to sell now, but the light cruisers can buy two more, and four destroyers, let the Britons come up with the options to choose from first, and then the warships will need these for the time being."
And then there were the planes, thirty-six bombers, which had to be the latest Lincoln, even if the Britons gave me additional production, it had to be Lincoln. The best fighter is the Mustang, seventy-two, if you really can't get the Mustang, then you can only choose the Storm, but the number needs to be reduced, fifty-four is enough. Yang Feng then said.
He bought fighter jets for the same purpose of training pilots, and it was impossible for the Javanese to get fighter jets in the short term, so having bombers was enough to crush them, and the fighters would also provide close support, but without a forward airfield, even if he took off from West Borneo, it would not be too interesting, after all, it was not close to Java Island, and even if the Mustang was full of bombs and flew 600 kilometers away to bomb, it would be very difficult, and besides, there were carrier-based aircraft that could meet the requirements.
But the training of pilots for land-based fighters is essential.
