Landing? Landing on the colony of the Netherlands, a neutral country recognized by the world?!

Jiang Fangzhen, who was invited to participate in the test flight of Yunhua Aircraft Company's new aircraft, almost jumped up after hearing this, he was not as loyal as Yue Peng, nor was he willing to raise his head for the funds of several broken ships, so he stopped Yang Qiu and Song Ziqing who were walking towards the hangar: "This is too risky!" Sending troops to land is tantamount to declaring war, not to mention the Netherlands and Britain, I am afraid that they will directly intervene. ”

"I know." Yang Qiu ignored him and continued to walk towards the waiting crowd.

Seeing this, Jiang Fangzhen hurriedly grabbed Song Ziqing: "Ziqing, what's wrong with you!" Landing in is a big problem, isn't there nothing to do! Trying to Borneo can take his time, Japan is now desperately building warships, and desperately emigrating to Guinea and Rabaul, and has controlled half of the Pacific Islands, but these islands cannot support his needs, so sooner or later it will have to go south! As long as you go south, British Guinea, Maluku, Sulawesi, Timor, Java, Sumatra, Borneo and even Luzon and Malay can slowly pack up, so why rush! ”

Song Ziqing glanced at Yang Qiu, who was surrounded by Ba Yuzao and others, stopped and pulled him to the side, took out two cigarettes and said seriously: "Baili, do you see that the commander-in-chief looks like he is preparing to expand?" ”

Jiang Fangzhen shook his head. If Yang Qiu wanted to expand, he would not have deliberately suppressed the army's procurement funds for many years, leaving behind the finalized second-generation tanks and a large number of new equipment, and only maintaining the battalion and regiment-level equipment for maintaining production and testing. If you want to expand, you won't be slow to build warships. Until now, even the battleship has not been finalized. Not to mention the Air Force, Europe and the United States have built a whole bunch of new aircraft. When domestic technology is not bad or even exceeded, a large number of requirements are not funded. Only like the Army, a few dozen of them are procured for testing and replenishment of each model.

Since you don't want to expand or fight, you shouldn't provoke conflicts! Jiang Fangzhen took a hard puff of cigarette and was still puzzled. Seeing this, Song Ziqing continued to explain: "You only know one of the hundred miles, but you don't know the other. Since you all know that Japan is definitely going south, let me ask you, once it goes south, how should we stop it? The distance from Hainan to West Borneo is more than 1,600 kilometers in a straight line, and in order to occupy the forward base and maintain a fleet and five divisions for combat attrition, it will take about 70 10,000-ton ships to transport and hoard war materials for two months without interruption to maintain a campaign. That's a long distance!

This is from a military point of view, but also from an economic point of view. You should know about the second five-year plan that has just ended, right? Except that the electricity has exceeded the target set five years ago, but one thing is very bad! After a large amount of industrial and commercial investment, China's commodity manufacturing has gradually entered a peak, especially the light industry is a rapid outbreak. Nearly four times more than before the European war! For example, the United States currently produces about 500,000 cars a year, and about 10 million people in their 100 million population can afford to buy them. However, the people of our country rarely take out loans to buy cars, and the number of people who can afford to buy cars among the 500 million people is more than half of that of the United States, so the commander-in-chief believes that the next step is to find ways to increase the income of the people and promote consumption, and it is necessary to find a new market! ”

Jiang Fangzhen snuffed out the cigarette butt and said: "You mean to grab a Nanyang base and then turn Nanyang into a dumping ground for our goods?" Why Borneo? I'm afraid that dumping goods will also provoke opposition from Britain and the United States, right? ”

Song Ziqing smiled slightly: "Only Borneo is the most chaotic in the entire South Seas, the British control Sarawak, and East Borneo is simply the territory of Shell." The west is nominally Dutch, but I am Chinese! So Dutch rule is not deep-rooted. In addition, the Dutch government still does not dare to announce the matter of Lanfang back then, and the vast majority of people in Europe do not know about this massacre, because they are afraid that we will liquidate it! Therefore, the commander means to go step by step, and the first step is to get a limited degree of autonomy.

This time, he went to cause trouble, and after forcing the local natives to retreat in the name of protecting overseas Chinese, he immediately withdrew his troops, let the navy increase patrols, and shouted slogans to propose Chinese autonomy by the way, and then he and President Li pretended to turn their faces to move the capital and revise the constitution, so that Europe and the United States thought that we were too busy to take care of ourselves. The Democratic Party has just merged, and it will definitely want to make a meritorious service. They will certainly actively lobby Congress to take over the matter of negotiating autonomy and take the opportunity to expand their influence. The poor party had also been courting Hu Hanmin in the hope of getting help to carry out a revolution in Nanyang, and both groups would see Chinese autonomy as a good opportunity to expand the influence of the revolution.

Besides, do you know how big the impact will be if this thing is actually successful? The Islamic guerrillas in the East Indies, those in Annam Ho Chi Minh, and even India, Malaya, etc., will all follow suit and demand limited autonomy! If there is no national strength, this matter will not only be difficult to achieve, but will also become an excuse for Britain and France to massacre our Chinese, but now relying on a Far East fleet can really dominate the world?

At present, the total number of Chinese in Nanyang is nearly 8 million, 650,000 in Borneo alone, and more than one million in Singapore, Malaya and Siam. Europe and the United States will indeed get angry, but as long as we do not move the United States and deliberately let businessmen sell Chinese and American goods together, will Britain and France not be able to go to war for a few pieces of soap and a few walk-behind tractors? Nanyang is just a cheap resource in their eyes, and they have enough dumping ground. What's more, the use of domestic products by Nanyang Chinese has been increasing year by year over the years, regardless of how much trading power we Chinese have in the whole Nanyang? Speaking of this, Song Ziqing deliberately sneered twice: "If Britain really snorts!" It India doesn't want to be peaceful, it's a big deal to join hands with the Soviet Union to directly carry out a revolution and carve it up! ”

"Come on, you dare to think about it." Jiang Fangzhen gradually understood that Yang Qiu wanted to play the game of killing and burying, and used the landing force to deliberately amplify the contradictions in the South Seas and fish in troubled waters, and then slammed Song Ziqing hard, turned his head to look at a monoplane all-aluminum plane that was slowly rolling out of the hangar, and said: "No wonder I saw Li Liejun coming just now, do you plan to let him pretend to make a plan and quietly tell Wang Zhaoming to seize the opportunity to take over the Nanyang autonomy negotiations?" ”

Song Ziqing did not answer directly, but said: "We want West Borneo, and the Democratic Party wants the best of both worlds." ”

"What the!"

Jiang Fangzhen was enlightened and returned to normal. When he wrapped his coat tightly and walked towards the plane, he muttered: "Even if the Kuomintang talks about autonomy, it is not a wedding dress?" Honestly, is there already someone in the MIA? Autonomy requires convoys. I'm afraid that you Song Zi planned to get a quasi-infantry division over there early in the morning, right? ”

The countdown to the first all-metal monoplane of Yunhua Aircraft Factory has begun, and West Borneo is also in chaos.

The riots in Yamaguchi-yo continued. The southeast side of the city was occupied by the rebels who were shouting for revenge, and more than 100,000 Chinese were compressed into a settlement near the sea and could not leave. The whole city is full of shops that have been looted and smashed open, although the casualties of everyone to resist are not large, but the property that has been hard for several years has made many people cry sadly. The Dutch mayor of Yamaguchi was helpless about it. Although the garrison had been used to shoot warning and kill several bandits, they still could not stop the locals from smashing and looting, and even their own side was wounded and several people snatched two rifles.

Butter torches that crackled and burned overnight began to go out, and tens of thousands of Chinese trapped in the west of the city survived the most frightening night, only to find that the indigenous mob began to slowly gather again in an attempt to storm the west of the city. In the municipal building, Hou Minzhu was about to kneel for the Dutch tax officer. Crying and begging: "My lord, you can send troops to disperse those people outside, if we continue like this, we Chinese will be in danger of life and death!" ”

The tax collector had long since lost the leisure of yesterday's telegram, and he was sweating profusely as he looked at the thousands of indigenous natives who occupied the southeast side of the city, and gritted his teeth with hatred. The Netherlands does need the locals to balance the Chinese so that the Netherlands can take advantage of the vain, but if all the hard-working Chinese are killed, can the slackers outside run so many jobs? So while appeasing Hou Minzhu, he shouted to the telegraph operator: "Damn, has the telegram been sent?" ”

"Sir. The radio signal is not good, and now Batavia cannot be contacted. The telegraph operator knew that the matter was urgent, so after speaking, he hurriedly shirked the blame: "This damn weather! Everything was soaked. ”

Hearing that the radio could not be sent, Hou Minzhu was even more anxious, and repeatedly asked to send troops. But the pot-bellied tax officer decisively refused this request, because he now needed to keep the Dutch and foreign nationals first, and God knows when Batavia would send them. Seeing that he couldn't invite soldiers, Hou Minzhu suddenly didn't know what to do, and when he was in a hurry and wanted to go to Dongwanlu to ask for help, there was a sudden shout of killing outside.

The purpose has long been forgotten. The mob, red-eyed by the riches they had looted yesterday, looked for their target again, using machetes and clubs to try to break through the improvised walls of wood and fences, where hundreds of young men led the Chinese to resist, and within a moment there were crowds of people who had been slashed and fell to the ground moaning.

Seeing that several places were broken down, and many Chinese shops were smashed, several dazzling fireballs suddenly exploded from the most dense places of the rioters. "Boom." Explosions like thunder suddenly rang out from the city, and the gale of shells not only killed the mob, but also pushed wooden buildings one after another.

Shells fell from the sky, and within a few minutes, dozens of columns of smoke rose from the southeast side occupied by the rioters. The thugs, who were usually trembling with fear in the face of the rifles of the Dutch army, had never seen the power of naval guns, and they were immediately frightened and fled in all directions.

"Navy? Haha it must be our damn Mali, only he would be so rude. The Dutch tax officer thought that the rescue was coming, and excitedly took out the Zeiss telescope, which he had treasured for many years, from the drawer, but when he saw the target on the sea clearly, his jaw almost fell to the ground.

The naval flag flying high clearly told everyone that it was a Chinese Navy cruiser that opened fire! What's even more exaggerated is that a fast motorboat has arrived at the pier with more than a dozen Chinese Navy soldiers on board, and is quickly ashore and rushing to this side.

"It's the Navy, our Navy!"

"The Navy is coming!" The cheers suddenly exploded from the south of the city, and countless Chinese rushed to tell each other and shouted for joy, and the light cruiser Hunhe, who stood on the roof and opened fire on the sea with tears in their eyes, waved to him, and when a dozen or so Marines arrived in the city with steel helmets on their heads to disperse the rioters with machine guns, they received the most enthusiastic shouts.

For many years, the Chinese in Nanyang have been bullied and slaughtered, and the wealth created by their hands has been taken away again and again by people with guns and knives like cutting leeks! Every now and then, everyone fantasizes that the ancestral ** team can protect themselves, but the indifference of the Manchu government during the Lanfang tragedy completely chilled everyone's hearts. But now it's different! It's not just the army that's coming, it's the warships!

Unlike the cheering Chinese, the Dutch tax collector and the soldiers stationed here looked at each other. It looks like it's its own colony! Is there already a war? …… (To be continued.)
