As Australia's influence in Southeast Asia grew, and the number of troops and ships in the region was a serious threat to Dutch supremacy in the First Zone, Brown took several effective measures to counter the threat posed by this expansion.

One of the most prominent is the use of local natives to deal with the expansion of Australians, which is somewhat old-fashioned to a certain extent, but it is very effective.

On the one hand, the local aborigines envy the Australians for living a better life than them, but on the other hand, they are unwilling to pay for their hard work, so you can imagine what the final result will be.

Australians are getting better and better, living happily with their own hands, while the Aborigines are still fighting against nature.

Of course, at this time, the Dutch, who appeared like saviors, gave them hope, and the Dutch said to them, in fact, the reason why you are living so miserably is entirely because the arrival of the Australians has compressed your living space, and you should take up arms and fight.

The Dutch lobbyist went to meet the heads of a dozen tribes with a lot of gifts, repeating what he had said over and over again.

The purpose is to stretch the hatred of the Aborigines towards the Australians, which may seem old-fashioned, but the effect is unusually good, not to mention that there are really people who have been fooled by them.

These natives have a low IQ, and where do they feel that the Dutch are taking advantage of them, they will only be grateful to the Dutch for the gifts they have given them, and treat them as gods.

Compared with the Dutch, one is a devil and the other is an angel, and they only like those who give them gifts.

Of course, if Australians are willing to give them gifts, they will be more than willing to treat Australians as gods.

But the Australians have never been merciful to these natives, and their policy is to give you a way to live if you are obedient, and it is possible for the entire tribe to be exterminated if you are disobedient.

So the aborigines' hatred for Australians can be imagined. As long as there is one person who provokes it, the contradictions between them can be completely stimulated.

The Dutch took a fancy to this, so they used such a ploy against the Australians, and if they really did it with Australia, they would never dare, and Brown at least remembered the incident of the Australians' bombardment of Batavia in the first place.

This has not been the case for a few years, and the Australians are now getting stronger, with five warships in the Malay Peninsula alone, all steam, much faster and more agile than the Dutch ones.

Although the Dutch cooperated with the old Australians and also had steamships, the people in the country did not use these newly acquired ships to arm their own naval forces. Rather, it is used as an express business, which can be said that the Dutch do have a talent for business, which has to be admired.

Being able to see the great cause of express logistics in the 17th century can be said to be very surprising to Australia.

It was not unthinkable to travel through the crowd, but due to the lack of experience in ship fuel and long-distance sailing, he gave up this business with an astonishing profit.

So Brown is very angry with the gang of guys in the country, angry that they don't see how difficult the situation in Batavia is at the moment, and now is not the time for the Netherlands to play their own personality at will, Australia and Spain are already quietly encircling the Dutch.

Once this containment is formed. The Dutch would have complete control over the region, and as the old man who had helped establish the Viceroyalty of Batavia, Brown did not want to see the cause he had built up disappear while he was alive.

His fears were not unfounded, as Batavia's military strength numbered more than two thousand professional soldiers. But in Blackwater City, not far from him, the number of mercenaries in Blackwater is only this equal, except that the number of warships is more than that of Australia, and the Dutch no longer have any advantage in this place.

Of course, their advantage over the Spaniards is still very clear. In the several conflicts with the Spaniards, it can be said that they were all beaten, that is, the Spaniards were too weak.

That was probably the only thing Brown could find to comfort himself. Of course, now he is ready to give Australia a little more exciting,

The expansion of the Australians in the Malay Peninsula was so rapid that it made him very unhappy, and it can be said that the total number of Australians in the entire Malay Peninsula has surpassed that of the Netherlands.

This is very intolerable to Brown, and he has made great efforts to make the indigenous tribes on the island hostile to Australia, and has spent a lot of manpower and material resources to invest in the indigenous people.

He knew that the natives were certainly no match for the Australians, not to mention the monkey-like locals of this group of savages, or even the Dutch themselves were not necessarily opponents of the Australians.

In order to make these savages more combative, he sent some people to train these indigenous tribes, teaching them how to fight, how to use the night time to attack the Australian Lao.

Although these things taught are useless, but the weapons have brought a lot of use to the natives, not long ago an aboriginal tribal attack, the first use of hot weapons to fight, which surprised the Australian soldiers very much, according to past experience, this is not existent.

It is possible that the aborigines had obtained weapons from elsewhere, and that they had definitely not been left in the hands of the Australians, for according to the weapons seized, were flintlock pistols of European origin.

This kind of gun, the Spaniards and the Dutch, the British have it, so they all have this suspicion, and the matter was handed over to the local Department of Homeland Security staff for investigation, and they got information by tracking the tribe that the weapon was out of the hands of the Dutch.

The Dutch trained the natives militarily and taught them how to use weapons, much to the surprise of the Malacca government.

It's not the first time they've faced the Dutch's incessant movements, so they know a little bit about them.

Since the Dutch want to continue like this, then they can only resist, the conflict that breaks out between the two sides is not impossible The list is not impossible to use the same scheme, Australia is also not used by a killer weapon, once this trick is used, it is estimated that Brown will go crazy.

Australia originally established the Nanyang Trading Company to prevent this kind of thing from happening, and now it is time for the trading company to act, the development of the trading company in recent years has been strongly supported by the Australians, and the power has been marginal to the entire Dutch-ruled area, so once the action is a big trouble for the Dutch.
