Batavia, the largest city on the island of Java and the largest city in the entire Dutch East Indies, was the center of Dutch rule in the Dutch East Indies after the Dutch invasion of the East Indies.

For the Dutch, the Dutch East Indies were already their only and largest colony. Therefore, the Dutch attached great importance to this colony. The whole Kingdom of the Netherlands counted on the proceeds of this colony to allow them to develop their country.

The growing scale of the conflict between Chinese and indigenous people in the Dutch East Indies caused strong concern among the colonial authorities of the Dutch East Indies. Originally, the Dutch colonial authorities sat on the mountain and watched the tiger fight, allowing the Chinese and the natives to fight, so that they could take advantage of it. Judging from past examples, every conflict between the Chinese and the indigenous people will give them great benefits.

There are many more natives than the Chinese. Therefore, every conflict is the Chinese who suffer. The wealth of the Chinese who died in the conflict will become ownerless. The Dutch colonial authorities were able to justifiably confiscate these properties into the colonial authorities. Therefore, the Dutch wished that the more Chinese people died, the better. After the outbreak of this conflict between the Chinese and the natives, the Dutch colonial authorities also had this in mind.

Originally, the growing strength of the Chinese Empire and the regular patrolling of the Nanyang Fleet of the Chinese Navy in the South Seas made the Dutch colonial authorities have some concerns in their hearts, and they did not dare to take the initiative to provoke disputes between the Chinese and the natives, for fear that they would leave a handle on the Chinese Empire. The Chinese Empire's coveting of the Dutch East Indies was also well known to the Dutch. They also knew that with the strength of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, it could not be compared with the thriving Chinese Empire. Therefore, they can only try not to leave a handle on the Chinese Empire. In this case, the relationship between the Kingdom of the Netherlands and Great Britain and Germany. The Chinese Empire could not have done anything to the Dutch East Indies without a valid reason.

However, this time the conflict between the Chinese and the indigenous people was not provoked by them, so it broke out so naturally. This made the Dutch colonial authorities ecstatic. In this way, they will be able to make a fortune. After all. If it wasn't the strife they provoked, it wouldn't be their business if those Chinese died. Therefore, even if the Chinese Empire is dissatisfied, it cannot be blamed on them.

However, this time the conflict doesn't seem quite right! The Chinese, who were originally at a disadvantage, had the upper hand this time, completely suppressed the natives, and made the natives pay heavy losses. Meantime. The casualties of the Chinese themselves were very small. In addition, the sudden emergence of armed forces of the Chinese made the Dutch colonial authorities see a threat.

Dutch East Indies Governor William. Alexander. Frederick convened an emergency meeting at the Governor's Palace in Batavia to discuss how to resolve the current crisis. After all, the conflict between the Chinese and the natives is growing, and it has spread to the entire territory of the Dutch East Indies. The entire social order has been shattered by the conflict. In such a situation, the interests of the Netherlands were also greatly damaged.

"Gentlemen, the whole Dutch East Indies is in chaos. If this continues. Her Majesty the Queen and the Government have given us the task of collecting taxes, which I am afraid will not be able to accomplish. Right now. What do we do? "William. Alexander. Governor Frederick asked.

"Your Excellency the Governor, this conflict must be stopped, or it will turn into a civil war in the Dutch East Indies." Administrative Officer Colt said first. A chaotic Dutch East Indies would make it impossible for their decrees to be communicated at all. Naturally, it also affected the development of the entire Dutch East Indies.

Of course, the Dutch colonial authorities for the development of the Dutch East Indies. There is no planning at all. They had only one aim, and that was to plunder as much wealth as possible from the Dutch East Indies. The Dutch also seem to be self-aware. They knew that with the strength of the Netherlands, it was not realistic to hold the Dutch East Indies for a long time. So. When the Dutch occupied the Dutch East Indies, it became the best way to do everything possible to take away all the interests of the Netherlands. Therefore, the Dutch colonial authorities would not have invested in the Dutch East Indies in the slightest, they only knew how to loot and plunder. However, the intensifying conflict has seriously affected their plans.

"Yes, Your Excellency the Governor. The Chinese were the main taxpayers of the Dutch East Indies. Now, all the Chinese have taken up the sword and gun to resist, and we have no way to receive the tax at all. Tax Officer Charles also said.

Governor Frederick nodded, this was indeed a big problem. If they can't complete the tasks given to them by the queen and the government, then they will be held responsible. If not, he, the governor, will do it.

"We've got to find a way to calm this conflict." Governor Frederick said.

"Your Excellency the Sheriff, can the police and security forces take action to quell the conflict quickly?" Governor Frederick asked.

In the Dutch East Indies, in addition to the regular Dutch army, there were also a significant number of police and security forces. These police and security forces were formed by Dutch commanders and then recruited natives. However, there has never been a Chinese commander of the police or security forces. Because the Dutch were extremely distrustful of the Chinese, they did not want the Chinese to master these forces, which was very likely to become a threat to the Dutch colonial authorities. In order to maintain their colonial rule, the Dutch naturally wanted to keep the threat to a minimum.

"Your Excellency, I'm afraid this will be very difficult. Although, when the conflict broke out between the Chinese and the natives, we did not intervene. However, we have never stopped collecting information about this conflict. According to the information we have received, it is as if these Chinese suddenly have a powerful armed force in their hands. They were armed with a large number of rifles, pistols, and even heavy machine guns and light artillery. Such armament, in addition to the lack of heavy artillery, cannot be compared even with our regular army. Not to mention the police and security forces. Sheriff Colin said. Of the Dutch East Indies police, only a very small number were armed with pistols, mainly those of the Dutch. The rest of the Budans were only armed with batons. As for the security forces, they were also armed with rifles, old rifles from the Dutch army, plus a small number of heavy machine guns. In the face of the Chinese armed forces with strong force, it seems that the Dutch security forces will not be an opponent.

"Those Chinese are actually equipped with so many weapons and equipment? How is this possible? Governor Frederick exclaimed. He also realized that something seemed to be wrong.

"Chinese, these Chinese must have the support of Chinese behind them. Otherwise, they wouldn't have so many weapons. Colt said with great certainty.

In fact, everyone already has this guess in their minds. There seems to be no other possibility than this one. After all, the Chinese Empire, which was close at hand, coveted the Dutch East Indies, and they would never give up the opportunity to meddle in the Dutch East Indies.

"Hell, if all this is dominated by the Chinese Empire, then we are in danger. The armies of the Chinese Empire could easily conquer the entire Dutch East Indies. We must put an end to the conflict as soon as possible! Governor Frederick roared.

"Your Excellency the Governor, it will take time to quell the conflict. And it's better to have the help of the army. Colin said. Although, the security forces of the Dutch East Indies were quite numerous, numbering tens of thousands. However, these security forces are not only poorly equipped, but also have almost zero training. What is the difference between letting them go and fighting the Chinese armed forces equipped with advanced weapons and sending them to their deaths!

"No, you can't use the army. Once the army is dispatched, the situation is out of control. At that time, the Chinese will definitely take the opportunity to intervene in the Dutch East Indies. Governor Colt shook his head.

"Your Excellency the Governor, we may be able to report back to the country. After all, this is the intervention of Chinese, and the situation is no longer something we can deal with. We need to use diplomacy to get the Chinese to stop supporting the Chinese in the Dutch East Indies. Tax Officer Charles said.

Governor Frederick nodded: "Send an urgent telegram to the country immediately." In addition, the security forces are ready to be deployed to quell the conflict. ”

"Yes, Your Excellency the Governor." Sheriff Colin nodded.

"When quelling the conflict, try not to hurt the Chinese as much as possible." Governor Frederick added one last sentence. He knew that if the Chinese were harmed, Chinese would probably be held accountable. The more this time comes, the more it will be unable to leave a handle on the Chinese Empire. Otherwise, it will be a recipe for trouble.

"Yes, Your Excellency the Governor." Colin knows this too.

The Dutch government was nervous when it received the report from Governor Frederick. Dutch Prime Minister Teo. Hemskelke immediately called an emergency meeting. It's just that in the face of the fact that the Chinese Empire is very likely to take action against the Dutch East Indies, they have no way at all. Special Olympics. Hemskelke had no choice but to send a telegram to Governor Frederick in the name of Prime Minister, asking him to control the situation as much as possible and avoid further deterioration of the situation.

At the same time, Queen Wilhelmina of the Netherlands also actively contacted Britain and Germany, hoping that they would put pressure on the Chinese Empire to stop its operations against the Dutch East Indies.

On the morning of April 21, 12, 4610 A.D., the Minister of the Kingdom of the Netherlands to China, accompanied by the British Minister to China, Sir Jurdian, went to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Chinese Empire and conveyed the protest of the Kingdom of the Netherlands to Tang Shaoyi, Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Empire.
