Chapter 470: Reciprocal Actions
The large-scale immigration of Malacca finally attracted opposition from the Dutch, and when the protests were ineffective, Brown began to speed up the immigration process, and even intended to make friends with other indigenous tribes in the Malay Peninsula, with the self-evident purpose of guarding against the Australians.
Originally, the Malay Peninsula was completely under the influence of the Dutch, but after some negotiations and the exchange of interests between the two sides, the Dutch agreed to sell the city of Malacca to Australia, and attached a hundred miles of land around it, although the Dutch did not actually control such a large territory at that time, but in their inherent thinking, the Maliu Peninsula has been included in their own jurisdiction.
It's just that now the Australians' clearance action is getting bigger and bigger, and the Malacca government has informed the Netherlands that in order to ensure the safe travel of citizens, it has decided to carry out a clean-up of the indigenous tribes within 100 miles outside the city.
The Dutch did not realize the profound meaning of this at the time, but felt that it was necessary, after all, the aborigines here are indeed very annoying and nerve-wracking, and the Australians have absolutely no problem with them.
However, the current situation is somewhat different, Australia's clearance operation has completely exceeded the scope of the demarcated land, although protested, but the Australians said that those natives have fled out, and if they are not exterminated, they will still come back to harass and retaliate.
Well, the Australians always find their own reasons to prevaricate, and the Dutch have already clearly felt that something is wrong after suffering a few losses, and that Australia's sphere of influence is expanding into its own region, which is completely provocative for the Dutch.
If it were not Australia, but any other country, the Dutch would not hesitate to send troops to retaliate and let them know why the flowers were so red.
But when you meet Australians, you can't help it, Australians will let them know why the flowers bloom so brightly.
Facing large-scale migration to Australia. The Dutch had to react, since the other party could emigrate, then they could do the same, so they mobilized Batavia and the Dutch who had returned from Dayuan Island to develop in the Malay Peninsula and vigorously promote the benefits here, but despite this, the Dutch population in the Far East could not be compared with the population of Australia. They decided to learn from Australians who had migrated from Europe and from home.
The new immigrants didn't care what country they were from, they had just arrived, and they had to obey the leader's arrangement in a strange place, otherwise it would be difficult for them to survive, so they let the merchant ships also bring some immigrants from the mainland and Europe, otherwise the Malay Peninsula would be completely annexed by the Australians sooner or later.
Australia doesn't care about the Dutch moves, and wants to completely occupy the next territory in this era of population immigration. And to completely digest it is not just by force, but also by the corresponding population, otherwise you can only become the first batch of developers and make wedding dresses for others.
This kind of thing is the clearest thing to pass through the people, how can they do such a thing, so when determining which territory to occupy, they will think very carefully and count, how many people are needed here to fully digest.
Arguably. Australia is not short of land, just population. The main reason for the slow rate of immigration is the fear that the social welfare system will not be able to keep up, resulting in certain social contradictions.
Malacca can be emigration on a large scale because it does not need to provide many jobs for these people, as long as they are provided with a year's or half a year's worth of food, plus some farming seeds and tools.
In another way, these people are not industrial workers, but farmers. The problem that needs to be solved is simple, as long as they are given land and seeds, they can survive, and it will not even take long to create value, which is the main purpose of immigrating them.
Not so natively. Large-scale resettlement is not an option because there is limited land available for seeds in the vicinity of locally developed towns, and some remote areas are not safe enough to be developed and resettled too early.
When it comes to local immigration, the government's main consideration is the working class that can train into industry, and the affluent class who can create jobs.
Therefore, the two models are completely different, and the large-scale migration of Malacca has played a certain role in the development and development of Malacca to a certain extent, although it sacrifices its own industrial development, but it provides a large number of resources and food supplies for the local population for future immigrants.
This is an extremely important thing for Australia, which needs to import 90 percent of its grain, and as long as there is a bumper harvest in Malacca's grain base in the future, Australia will not need to import grain from other places at all.
But the Dutch were completely unaware of Australia's approach, and they believed that Australia's large-scale immigration to Malacca was to prepare for the occupation of the entire Malacca Peninsula, after all, the other side was recruiting soldiers on a large scale here.
Recruiting soldiers is an extremely sensitive matter for the Netherlands, and the most important thing is that the Netherlands has been the hegemon of the southeast since defeating the Spanish, and his position is not to be provoked, but now it is completely different, not only can the Australians easily defeat them, but they also have the cooperation project of the steamship.
If the conflict between the two sides grows, it will inevitably lead to the breakdown of the cooperative relationship, and in addition, it may also lead to war between the two sides.
Now that there is a war, the Spaniards in Luzon will be very willing to see it, and they will come and intervene, and even expand the power that had been somewhat dwindled again.
In order to deal with the Australian immigration plan, the governor of Batavia has privately greeted the Dutch businessmen, trying not to help the Australians transport immigrants, although this can slow down the number of immigrants in Malacca to a certain extent, but this does not cause too much trouble for the Australians, the Australians actually found two fleets from Daming to transport them.
The Dutch were speechless, the Australians were really fighting hard to speed up immigration to Malacca, and since they couldn't resist many Australians in transportation, they could only consider it from other aspects.
Learning from Australians to immigrate to the Malay Peninsula is a good way, although the Netherlands cannot immigrate such a large number of people, but as long as there are immigration stations at some key junctions, Australians will not dare to blatantly occupy and annex this land.
It can be said that at this time, the efforts made by the two sides in immigration are almost equal, there is no one who has more and who has less, although the Netherlands does not seem to have more immigrants than Australia on the surface, but its efforts to transport immigrants from Europe are not a lot at all.
