On September 26, 1933, under the joint mediation of the United States, Britain, France, Germany and other countries, and at the urging of the special envoy of the President of the League of Nations, the political axe of the Kingdom of the Netherlands reappointed a new huge diplomatic negotiation team represented by the Kingdom Minister of Foreign Affairs Dieng to Jakarta. At the same time, the Chinese political axe once again announced Zhou Guolai as the plenipotentiary envoy for the Nanyang negotiations. After the envoys of the United States, Britain and France arrived in Jakarta, a more comprehensive and international negotiation finally began in Jakarta.

Zhou Guolai, vice minister of foreign affairs and director of the Department of Asian Affairs and the Department of Chinese Studies, was responsible for defending the interests of New China in Nanyang with his outstanding performance in defying the Western powers.

In the early stages of the negotiations, the United States and Germany made clear their support for China's political axe and the free vote of the people of the Greater Natuna Islands on the ownership of Greater Natuna, while Britain and France expressed limited opposition.

There is a small background before the start of this negotiation.

In September 1933, China's Second Special Fleet finally arrived in the South Seas, and the special fleet led by the aircraft carriers Chengdu and the China Aircraft Carriers sailed into the hinterland of the South China Sea in a loaded posture and stopped in the sea near Hanzhong Island, with the sword straight towards the Dutch East Indies. This support fleet not only brought nearly 80% of China's naval strength, but also brought an elite army of an infantry division.

In the course of sailing, the fleet soon converged with the First Fleet, which had taken the lead in the South Seas, and the absolutely superior navy composed of three aircraft carriers, compared the US Pacific Fleet, the British Far East Fleet, the French Far East Fleet, the Dutch East India Squadron, and the support fleet that had just arrived.

The task force of three aircraft carriers, one division and nearly two regiments of infantry formed a solid backing for the negotiations.

Since there was only the Russian Far East Fleet and his own fleet on the Chinese mainland, it was almost impossible to threaten the mainland, so the Chinese navy was able to go south.

This is because China has built large coastal defense airfields in several key coastal areas of the mainland, and under the cross-arching defense of these coastal air defense forces with powerful maritime attack capabilities, even if there are only a few sub-fleets of thousands of kilometers of coastline, it is not something that it can afford to provoke. After many tragic air raids, Yue himself fully realized the strength of the Chinese Air Force, and the number of their planes may not be many, but one can fight against several aircraft of the empire, so while accelerating the development of his own advanced fighters, he has contracted his aggressive ambitions, and when the northeast is about to fight a decisive battle, as long as they can temporarily keep Taiwan, they will never dare to easily move again against Chinese mainland.

Moreover, China's fleet stationed on the mainland also includes a considerable number of submarine forces, and when the Russians did not have too strong offensive capabilities, nearly 90% of China's naval power could be dispatched to the South Sea.

Faced with a powerful task force composed of three Chinese aircraft carriers and seven Yucheng-class cruisers, the British and French chose to retreat silently this time, and the main fleet was thousands of miles away, and there was no need to challenge the Chinese's carrier-based aircraft forces with artillery ships.

While accelerating the construction of aircraft carriers at home, no one is willing to challenge the Chinese's aircraft carrier fleet deployed advanced fighters again in order to verify the theory of which artillery and carrier-based aircraft are stronger or weaker.

Chinese it is a fact recognized by many countries that they have reached the world's leading level in some weapons fields, although they still think that China is a poor and weak country, they have to admit that their military has begun to take on the combat power of a regional hegemon. If this were Europe, they would probably be above the Chinese in absolute terms, but this is the damned Far East, thousands of miles away. Their only two formidable enemies, one is being beaten and retreating step by step, and the other is engaged in construction at home, and the Far East is also thousands of kilometers away from them.

In the face of the task force in which the Chinese showed an absolutely offensive posture, many countries got involved, instigating the Dutch to negotiate openly and honestly with the Chinese and ending the 'unpeaceful factors that undermine the stability of Southeast Asia'.

This is the consistent practice of the Western powers, when the situation is not clear, they always hope to seize some interests, when the situation is clear, they are afraid that the situation will become worse, and they are anxious to resolve the crisis as soon as possible to prevent their own vested interests from being infringed upon, and this is also the fundamental starting point for them to jointly put pressure on the Netherlands and 'suggest' that the government of the Kingdom of the Netherlands should resolve the crisis as soon as possible.

In Zhang Shusheng's view, the intention of this method is very clear, perhaps just like the Sudetenland negotiations in later history, they betrayed their allies and satisfied Germany's appetite, and in Asia, they also hoped that the Netherlands would bleed to satisfy the 'small appetite' of the new regime, after all, in their opinion, the regional surname of the [***] power should be satisfied as long as one island, rather than this, it is better to let the Netherlands make concessions, why let everyone make a big move in the South Seas? You know, it's the closest to China, and it's at least thousands of kilometers away from other countries.

So, after an initial lack of confidence, the Dutch quickly bowed their heads, and with the support of Zhou Guolai's superb diplomatic negotiation skills and the support of the aircraft carrier task force in the waters not far from Jakarta, the negotiations went very smoothly. During this period, the Chinese used the air to inspect the living conditions of the Chinese, and carrier-based planes had to fly over the negotiation building almost every day, which made the multinational envoys below feel extremely depressed but helpless.

After all, in the entire Far East, in addition to the Chinese and himself, there are only two converted aircraft carriers of the British, but the British are not willing to verify whether their carrier-based aircraft are more effective or the Chinese are stronger fighters that look more bluffing.

After all, for the commander of the British Far East Fleet, although he did not know which of the two carrier-based aircraft was stronger and which was weaker, he could tell with the naked eye that the other side was at least half as fast as the old aircraft on his own aircraft carrier. The commander of the Far East of the British, after receiving the report, angrily slapped the table: "Stupid Admiralty, they always solve the problem of what is there and what is not, but ignore more problems. They should really come to the Far East to see, such tattered carrier-based aircraft, in addition to being able to fly, I really can't think of what they can do, damn it, is it fighting with the Chinese carrier-based aircraft !! ”

After the negotiations began, the Dutch demanded that China, like other countries, recognize the Dutch status as de facto colonizers of the East Indies, and in return, the Netherlands would be responsible for ensuring the safety of the Chinese in Indonesia, and that the Chinese government should not use the Chinese as an excuse to take any military action against the Netherlands and Indonesia. As for the issue of the ownership of Hanzhong Island, the Dutch political axe said that it could be conditionally abandoned, and the negotiation team of the political axe of the Kingdom of the Netherlands suggested that the two sides could use the ownership issue of Alaska as a reference.

On behalf of the Chinese political axe, Zhou Guolai agreed in principle to some requests of the Dutch, but in response to the riot caused by the poor management of the Dutch political axe, and in response to this extremely bad attempt to massacre the Chinese, he formally put forward several demands from the Chinese side.

The Dutch East Indies Colonial Bureau had to improve its policy towards the Chinese, and loosen its grip on Chinese immigration and allow them to immigrate freely. It is not allowed to interfere with the whereabouts, property, and details of Chinese immigrants.

Second, the Netherlands recognizes the voting results of Hanzhong Island, and the permanent surname recognizes the political fact that Hanzhong Island joined China through a referendum.

Third, to punish the mob, a tripartite trial committee composed of representatives of the Dutch Colonial Bureau, the Chinese political axe, and the Chinese will severely try the most heinous anti-Chinese elements.

The poor management of the Dutch colonial bureau led to the riots, and the losses suffered by the Chinese in the riots should be liquidated and compensated. Moreover, the Chinese government demanded that the accounting period for this compensation be made from the Dutch colonization of the East Indies, and that all riots that could be verified and verified would be included in the compensation.

Zhou Guolai said that if the Netherlands agrees to these four points, then the Chinese political axe can accept the Dutch proposal to control the further deterioration of the situation, that is, agree to the conditions put forward by the Netherlands. However, if these four conditions are not agreed, the Chinese political axe will take further action to protect its own overseas Chinese and protect the sanctity of Chinese property.

After repeated tug-of-war, the results of the negotiations are finally out.

In the end, the Dutch political axe agreed to the conditions proposed by the Chinese political axe to revise the policy on the Chinese, liberalize the control of the Chinese immigration issue, and conduct a tripartite joint trial of the heinous mob.

China, for its part, promised to halt further military action as a number of key issues were agreed upon at the end of the negotiations.

On the issue of compensation, it was only negotiated until the end.

At the request of the Dutch negotiating team, the Chinese political axe bought Hanzhong Island at a symbolic price of 1 yuan, but because of the insistence of the Chinese political axe, this clause was participated by Indonesian representatives, which means that this is a tripartite agreement, even if the Dutch political axe loses the Indonesian colony in the future, there will be no more international disputes over the ownership of Hanzhong Island.

The Dutch are also struggling with the issue of compensation for the Chinese. Originally, the Dutch were unwilling to pay compensation and were ready to put all the problems on the indigenous Indonesians. However, at this time, Time magazine in the United States, the New York Times and other well-known newspapers jointly published a report on the events in Jakarta, with a very inflammatory headline: "The Netherlands condoned the massacre"

After the news was published, the whole world was shocked, it was so detailed that even the confession of the former negotiating ambassador Spears was accurate, and there were extremely detailed news pictures, and the New York Times and San Francisco Radio published a live recording in the hands of reporters, and the dialogue between Spears and Zhou Guolai immediately became the focus of the world's attention. A filthy, dirty, and absurd negotiator was in stark contrast to the righteous and awe-inspiring vice minister of foreign affairs of the new China.

At this time, the Kingdom of the Netherlands can no longer hold on, although this kind of thing that connives, all kinds of ethnic vendettas in the colony, and then take the opportunity to consolidate colonial rule, everyone is doing it, but like the Dutch political axe, it was not only defeated by the hosts, but also beaten by the media, then this is the only case. After much hesitation, the Dutch political axe finally relented and promised to compensate with 30 million yuan of equivalent resources. There are two forms of compensation, one is to hand over some large plantations owned by the colonial bureau and confiscated from the Indonesian mob directly to the Chinese government for redistribution, and the other is to allow Chinese investors to enter some of Indonesia's resource industries, and the output of a certain number of years in the first period will be repaid as racial abuse. In other words, the Chinese government will obtain a license to mine wood, set up paper mills, rubber processing plants, oil refineries, and so on in Indonesia for a certain number of years.

And within this repayment period, China will only have to pay a little basic tax.

In this way, the Netherlands did not have to pay huge reparations, but also resolved the ethnic dispute in a high-profile manner as a Western kingdom, saving itself from the crime of "conspiracy to commit genocide" against humanity, at the cost of only some resources in Indonesia itself. Anyway, in the eyes of the Dutch, Indonesia's resources are everywhere, and if they can't finish it, why not give some to the Chinese as compensation.

After reaching an agreement, the two sides quickly signed a peace agreement and made it public.

On the streets of Jakarta, Chinese people looked at their burned shops and houses, knowing that it was time to leave.

Everyone understands the truth that it is difficult to leave the place where they have lived for a long time, but now that there is nothing here, it is better to go to Hanzhong Island.

"Dad, is the third uncle really not going with us?"

A young man of fifteen or sixteen years old whispered to his father next to him while helping his mother to say goodbye to his old house in ruins.

Before the riots, the family owned a Chinese restaurant, and they had been lucky enough to escape the riots several times and escape the poison of the Indonesians, but in this mega-scale riot, even the tables, chairs, benches, pots and pans in their restaurant were robbed, leaving only two rotten houses that were burned black.

In order to help the victims of the riots, the mainland political axe formed the Nanyang Overseas Chinese Company, which had already taken over more than a dozen large plantations from the Dutch. Your third uncle said that he is old, and he only went to Hanzhong Island to enjoy his own happiness, so it is better to join the overseas Chinese company and contribute to the rescue of Chinese compatriots. ”

The man was only forty years old, and he looked at the restaurant that had been burned to the ground, but he did not show despair, but showed a little ray of hope.

"Dad, will we really be able to reopen?"

"Of course we can, we signed up so early, we should be able to get a store in Hanzhong City. However, you can't continue to work in the store, so feel free to get ready to study again. Zhen Niang, let's go, don't look at it, go to Hanzhong Island early, and you can help together. ”

The man pulled his mother-in-law over, and the family didn't even have a box of luggage in their hands. But this is nothing, the Hanzhong Provincial Government Axe has already issued an announcement that it will concentrate the efforts of the whole people on the basis of Hanzhong Town to build Hanzhong City, and all Chinese who have suffered heavy losses in the riots can obtain the right of first refusal to lease a shop in Hanzhong City through leasing. This kind of lease is a deferred payment, and the Chinese can not only delay the payment of rent for a few years, but also get the first start-up capital through a loan.

In the immediate aftermath of the negotiations, Zhang Shusheng, chairman of the Supreme Council of China, signed Executive Order No. 2 of the Supreme Council. In the order, Hanzhong Province was divided into a special zone province. This province will serve as a bridgehead between the global Chinese and the mainland.

Here, the Chinese can be taken care of by the policies of the Special Administrative Region, whether it is investment, residence, business, or study, they will have the same treatment as citizens of this province. In other words, Hanzhong Province welcomes global Chinese to invest, settle, do business, and study, and also welcomes global Chinese to set up company headquarters and offices here, because all of this is taken care of by special zone policies detailed to a number of articles.

At the same time as the establishment of the Special Economic Zone, He Fangjiong, chairman of Xinhe Industrial Group, donated 10 million yuan as the vice president of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce, invited Mr. Lu Xun, a social elite, to serve as the chairman, and established the Hanzhong Chinese Self-help Fund in Hanzhong Province. Almost at the same time, the Chinese Self-Aid Fund received donations from all over Nanyang and even around the world. In particular, the Nanyang Chinese, led by Tan Kah Kee, are even more generous.

The Foundation's first major initiative was to invest a huge amount of money, together with the allocation of political axes, to build Hanzhong City with great efforts, in order to build a new city in Hanzhong as quickly as possible. At the same time, a Chinese community was built to solve the problem of accommodation for the relocated Chinese through sales and leases.

At the same time, more Chinese are participating in the initiative, working during the day and sleeping in tents at night to build their new homes.

Under these preferential policies and enlightened management, the Chinese have emigrated to Hanzhong Province, especially the Chinese in Indonesia, after learning that there are countless job opportunities in Hanzhong Province, they have begun to defect to Hanzhong Province, and every day, there is a long queue of ships waiting to enter the port at Nanwan Port.

Famous Chinese businessmen led by Tan Kah Kee and others also set an example and moved their company's branch to Hanzhong City, Hanzhong Province, which had just been established. At this time, the company's development was still too dependent on localization, so those who moved to Hanzhong City were some company offices or new companies that were about to be established.

Liu Shaoqi, governor of Hanzhong Province and the first head of the Special Administrative Region, held a small welcoming ceremony at the newly completed simple special economic zone in Hanzhong City to welcome the Chinese people to return to China for investment, and promised that the special economic zone political axe would vigorously develop seaports, maritime trade, manufacturing and processing, free trade zones and other economic forms in accordance with the central plan.

A city based on a seaport, a super-large seaport to undertake East Asia and Malacca, and a navigation company established with it. At the same time, the processing and manufacturing industry, smelting and refining oil industry based on the resources of Indonesia, Malaysia and other places will also be focused on development. However, the most distinctive feature should be the free trade zone, a low-tax free trade zone will be established in Hanzhong City, and in the near future, the entire special zone will serve as a free trade port to welcome shoppers from all over the world. In today's world, it's definitely a first.

On October 1, 1933, on this not too special day, the Chinese business delegation finally arrived in Hanjing City. They sailed north on the homecoming fleet in the Hanzhong Special Economic Zone, fully appreciating the majesty of the motherland's new-style navy along the way, until they received an unprecedentedly warm welcome in Hanjing City.

After a short period of negotiations, the most powerful Chinese businessmen's delegation in the world finally announced that for the common hope of the Chinese people around the world and in order to build New China into a stronger place, the Chinese businessmen's delegation will focus on investing in the places designated by the central government, such as Hanhuguang and Chengdu-Chongqing-Yi, and that the Chinese businessmen will concentrate more than one billion yuan in the next three years to invest in the construction of hundreds of factories of various types. In the longer term, more funds will be concentrated to invest in the construction of New China with absolute strength and contribute to the rise of China.

This will be an unprecedented return of capital, and Chinese businessmen will invest in China with unprecedented intensity, and together with the first five-year plan of New China, they will build New China.

Liu Dengke, Minister of Commerce of the People's Republic of China, also said that China's political axe will take care of the industries in which Chinese businessmen return to China for investment with the greatest sincerity, and welcome more Chinese businessmen to return to China for investment.

On the other hand, in China, Zhang Shusheng said at a ministerial meeting: "In the past, people all over the world were talking about how the Jews were united, but now they see that we Chinese are no worse than them." The Chinese can be even more united than they are. In this world, as long as we give these compatriots real respect and selfless racial care, both the Chinese and the Chinese nation as a whole will always maintain that terrible Chinese cohesion. ”――
