The talks between Van Hale, Sima and Qin Zhiyuan did not lead to anything.

Van Hailsima did not dare to promise not to interfere in the struggle between the Chinese and the indigenous Borneons, which would have made the situation uncontrollable.

The Dutch were not worried about the Borneo natives, but they were wary of the Chinese, because Van Helsima knew very well that they could not do anything with the Borneo natives alone, and it was impossible to endanger the Dutch rule.

On the contrary, those Chinese, if they gain power, with the already abundant financial resources in their hands, and if they add the help of the military and political circles, it may lead to the collapse of the colonial rule of the Dutch in Borneo.

This must have been unacceptable to the Dutch.

And for Qin Zhiyuan, this is a process of boiling frogs in warm water, as long as he doesn't tear his face with the Dutch and make it impossible for the Dutch to use their army to attack, with those Borneo natives, Qin Zhiyuan also doesn't care about it.

So it seems that as long as it drags on like this, Qin Zhiyuan will definitely achieve his goal.

It's a pity that reality often goes against people's will, and the development of the situation in Borneo soon caught Qin Zhiyuan and Van Hail Sima off guard.

In early November, Zhang Tianshou on Penglai Island received a report of a bloody incident in three Chinese families on a farm on the outskirts of Surabaya, in which all the men of the three families went out to work, and then all 14 women and children who stayed at home were tortured and killed, even the babies in swaddling clothes.

Zhang Tianshou immediately boarded the boat and went to the farm.

It is a farm located about 15 kilometers southeast of Surabaya.

There are more than 100 families in the village, except for three Chinese families, the rest are indigenous to Borneo.

Together, the three Chinese families have planted nearly 1,000 oil palm trees in the nearby mountains and make a living by refining palm oil.

The palm tree is a cash crop, and its economic benefits are about 15 times that of sugar beets and 10 times that of rubber trees. As a result, these three Chinese families lived a very leisurely life in the local area, and their living conditions were much better than those of the local aborigines who did not produce and lived by picking coconuts every day.

The problem is that the natives, who are not productive in their lives, do not think that this disparity in life is due to their own laziness, but because the arrival of the Chinese is resentful that they have robbed them of the wealth that should have belonged to them.

Probably the innocent minds of the local aborigines could not understand why they had been guarding this land for thousands of years before the Chinese arrived here, but no one had ever planted even a single palm tree.

Some people will catch up when they see the gap, and some people will only be envious and jealous when they see the gap, they don't want to rely on the labor of their hands to get a better life, but fantasize about relying on the long knife in their hands to get something for nothing.

So after the "Surabaya Incident", when this envy, jealousy and hatred accumulated to the extreme, this appalling tragedy finally broke out.

When Zhang Tianshou rushed to the farm where the incident occurred with a company, two groups of people were confronting each other at the scene, one was a local aboriginal with a man and a woman, and the other was naturally all men

Chinese boys.

Most of these local natives looked at these grief and inexplicable Chinese with disdain, and some of them were even talking and laughing, making a lot of noise, their faces were full of schadenfreude and the superiority of "can you bear me", and there were several young people who were squatting next to them with a playful face, looking at the three Chinese families with eyes full of tyranny and aftertaste.

On the surface, the quality of these three Chinese houses is significantly better than that of the local aborigines, not only with complete doors and courtyards, but also with clear windows and neat bricks, which is in stark contrast to the dark and low thatched houses inhabited by the local aborigines.

Buying a house, buying a land and settling down is an excellent tradition of the Chinese, but I didn't expect it to become a beacon to guide those lawbreakers in Borneo.

In the field, several uniformed police officers and two colonial officials in suits and leather shoes were dealing with the situation.

Just seeing this scene, Zhang Tianshou was angry.

Although all of them were suspected of committing crimes, all the local aborigines were standing, and those Chinese who were humiliated as victims were all ordered to squat down and were not even qualified to stand.

Fair?

Hehe!

When a three-wheeled motorcycle came galloping, the people at the entrance of the village were pulling their necks and looking around.

Of course, the complexion is different.

The Chinese people's eyes were red as if they had seen their relatives, the policemen were rolling away, the colonial officials patted their heads and worried, and the indigenous youths who were still squatting far away just now wanted to sneak away, but they were driven back by the policemen.

Only the women and children still have a playful expression, they don't know what these three-wheeled motorcycles represent, and the tragedy that happened in Surabaya has not yet reached the closed and backward countryside.

In fact, anyone who is well-informed already knows about the tragedy that happened in Surabaya. But the problem is that there are some people who don't believe in evil, and they don't know whether they are dead or alive if they don't put a knife on their necks.

But when the rumored murderous force arrived at a gallop, there was finally someone who was afraid.

It was only at this time that they really realized that the Chinese were no longer helpless and bullied, and when the Chinese encountered injustice, someone would stand up for them, ask for one for them, or seek justice.

When this "mercenary" from France was seen, the officials of the colonial authorities had a great headache.

When facing the Chinese, the colonial officials may be able to put down the shelf, shake their prestige, and play officialdom or something, but when facing the French who are also from Europe, although they are also the same black hair and black eyes, this official tone just can't fight.

The Dutch played officialdom in front of the French?

The joke is a bit big, and it's pretty much the same upside down.

Of course, it was the duty of these colonial officials to protect the colonies, and when they were involved in colonial affairs, the colonial officials could only brace themselves to meet them.

"Good afternoon, gentlemen." The colonial official had a good attitude, it seemed that France was really close to the Netherlands, and the colonial official spoke French well.

Zhang Tianshou and the others are in the colony of the Dutch, so naturally they will not wear the uniform of the Foreign Legion, nor will they hang their ranks, which will cause diplomatic disputes, so Zhang Tianshou and they all wear outdoor clothing from the "hunter's costume".

This looks like an abnormal spirit, and it is much better than the blue-gray French uniform.

"Hello, sir, I heard that there was an accident here, and we were hired to come and deal with some disputes." Zhang Tianshou was in it between words and became one of the insiders.

Zhang Tianshou, who got off the motorcycle, had a subconscious gesture of raising his hand, which was a harbinger of salute, but fortunately, Zhang Tianshou held back in time and did not give the colonial officials a chance to go crazy.

"Employment? May you ask who hired you? The colonial official's head was as big as a bucket, looking at the black hole in the muzzle of the machine gun on the three-wheeled motorcycle, and couldn't help but complain: "Also, who allowed you to equip these guns?" According to the law, no one in the East Indies is allowed to illegally possess firearms, do you know that it is illegal for you to do so now? Please, please be a little more restrained. ”

Colonial officials are now really showy and meet soldiers.

Zhang Tianshou was noncommittal, pouted and walked in front of the colonial officials, muttering indistinctly: "Haven't you already accused us?" Until the results are known, we have the right to bear arms, which is one of the rights that God has given us. ”

The Netherlands is a Protestant country, and it is also dedicated to Christ, and Zhang Tianshou talks about God, even the Dutch can't help but roll their eyes.

With regard to this issue of gun ownership, the Umbrella company and the colonial authorities have already brought the lawsuit to the international court in the Netherlands, and the international tribunal is very keen to support the colonial authorities, but remembering the German submarine forces cruising in the Mediterranean, and the fleet of the Umbrella company, which has a monopoly on escort missions in the Mediterranean, this lawsuit has not yet been resolved.

For the dependence on the Far East, the Netherlands is much more serious than France, France has no Far East, the United States, Britain to help, the Netherlands without the East Indies, it is estimated that the queen will cry and faint in the toilet.

The Mediterranean Sea is the choke point from the Far East to Europe, and as long as it is stuck here, it can choke the throat of the Dutch.

So it is estimated that this lawsuit will not have any results until the end of the century war.

Of course, the colonial officials also understood this fact, so they were a little helpless about Zhang Tianshou's behavior.

As a second-rate country in Europe, the Netherlands still occupies the Dutch East Indies, relying on the maintenance of the colonial system by Britain and France. Without the support of Britain and France, the Americans, Germans, and even the Japanese would have been able to drive the Dutch out of Asia.

As far as the Dutch fleet is concerned, it may be able to show off its might in Asia, but it is not worth mentioning in Europe, and even the French, who are traditional land powers and have no sense of naval presence, cannot compare.

The situation is stronger than people, and colonial officials really can't hold their heads up in front of the "umbrella" company......

Also unable to raise their heads are the men of these three families.

When they went out in the morning, the women of the family were still leaning on the door frame and waving goodbye, and the children of the family were still frolicking in the courtyard, with smoke coming from the chimneys and soup boiling in the pots, which was the men's lunch at noon......

In just one day, his wife was separated and his family was destroyed......

Even if the colonial officials did not force these Chinese to squat on the ground, they wanted to hold their heads and cry, for the sake of their wives who followed them to the ocean, for the sake of their children who had not yet grown up.

Although they knew that those murderers were squatting not far away, these men could not do anything, it was not that they did not want to take revenge, but they could not take revenge.

I don't know how much of this kind of thing happens every day in Borneo.

This is only a small-scale incident, and every few decades, or more than ten years, or even a few years, there will be large-scale mass "anti-Chinese incidents", which is the real sun and moon without light, and hell on earth.

The Chinese people are accustomed to it, and among these Chinese squatting on the ground, some of them have escaped by luck in previous catastrophes, but unfortunately, they are strong enough to escape, but the women and children in their families cannot escape.

"What do you look like when you stand up and squat on the ground?" A loud shout exploded above the heads of the Chinese.

The Chinese, who were immersed in pain and couldn't extricate themselves, looked up in shock, only to find a tall and burly man standing in front of them.

The man was furious, holding the holster on his waist with one hand, and pointing at the natives in the distance who were gloating just now but were panicked and shouted: "There is a wrong, there is a debtor, I want to take revenge, don't cry like a girl now, go find out those beasts, and then cut them into meat puree with a knife, Lao Tzu also thinks that you are the handle, if you don't want to take revenge, Lao Tzu will come for nothing, you will wait to be swallowed alive by life!" ”

The person who spoke was Zhang Tianshou, he had just gone to the scene and walked around, and he really couldn't suppress the anger in his heart.

Zhang Tianshou has already decided that if these Chinese dare to take revenge, Zhang Tianshou will leave them some weapons to protect themselves when they leave. If these Chinese did not dare to take revenge, Zhang Tianshou sent them back to the Republic of China, because cowards would not survive even if they stayed.
