Britain's attitude has been very clear, and it has already stated when Japan protested to the Netherlands that what the British Empire needs is peace and stability in the South Seas, and any act of blindly provoking confrontation is not allowed, of course, the British also urged the Netherlands and Japan to investigate the truth about the shipwreck as soon as possible and resolve the contradictions.

Britain's statement is stable and stable, all of which are expected by everyone, but to everyone's surprise, China has no voice at all, as if it doesn't care about this matter at all, for China's indifferent attitude, everyone can't guess, China's Borneo is in the south of the South China Sea, just at China's doorstep, how can China have no movement in such an important position, it is really not normal, the only explanation is that there must be some conspiracy behind China.

In fact, this speculation is not accurate, China is at a critical moment in the confrontation with the power of Jewish conglomerates, housing prices are rising rapidly, a large amount of foreign exchange is pouring into the Chinese market, and these consortia have just successfully sheared the wool of the United States, and the capital in their hands is at its strongest.

On the one hand, they pushed up the stock market and the housing market, and on the other hand, they also secretly bought gold and silver from China, hoping to take advantage of the opportunity to ship precious metals out, so that when the stock market and property market collapsed, China's monetary system would also collapse, and the means were ruthless and swift beyond the Chinese government's imagination.

The Chinese government is facing a great enemy, and all its nerves are tense, and it has to deal with the offensive of the consortium and at the same time pay attention to controlling the mood of the people at home.

Therefore, there is not much energy to pay attention to the problem of Nanyang, of course, for such a sensitive area as Nanyang, China obviously cannot completely relax, the military forces represented by Jiang Baili and others can not participate in the economic game, so they are relatively leisure, just the first time that the conflict in Nanyang appeared, Jiang Baili was sensitive to the conflict, I am afraid that the conflict is coming.

Jiang Baili is very clear about the Japanese style of acting, the Japanese are gamblers, and the biggest characteristic of gamblers is that when they do not enter the casino, they may be very calm, but once they stand in front of the gambling table. They will lose their minds. I won't stop until I lose all my money.

Therefore, once Japan begins to act in Nanyang, it will definitely persevere to the end, Jiang Baili immediately found Qiao Yu, "President, Japan has started to act in Nanyang, we should also come up with a charter!" ”

"Brother Baili, I'll leave this matter to you. A housing market has already made me anxious, and now maybe how many people are scolding me! ”

What Qiao Yu said is half-true and half-false, the problem of the housing market does involve most of Qiao Yu's energy, and the people are complaining, and there are not a few people who scold Qiao Yu, but everything is still under China's control. Jewish capital was also attracted in, and the rest was to close the door and beat the dogs, as for the loss of gold and silver, Qiao Yu was not worried, long before the Sino-Japanese war, the Jewish consortium tried to take action against China's financial security.

Qiao Yu also made a lot of arrangements for this, and as a result, the Sino-Japanese War interrupted this process, but the previous arrangements were not useless, and they can be used now. Therefore, Qiao Yu has to bear some temporary infamy. There wasn't much to worry about.

The purpose of handing over this task to Jiang Baili is that Qiao Yu wants to make his number one assistant really take charge of himself, and Jiang Baili has always been a strategic talent. Resourceful and indecisive, to put it bluntly, is a lack of assertiveness, and has never had the experience of being in charge.

Japan is now starting to march into the South Seas, as China envisioned, so that China's South Sea strategy can be carried out smoothly, but the South Seas are a big mess, the forces of various countries are gathered, the struggle in all aspects is very complicated, in addition to the foreign powers, the natives of the South Seas are also a big trouble.

Qiao Yu wants to be in charge of the overall situation, Nanyang needs a capable assistant who is directly responsible for Nanyang, thinking about it, Qiao Yu chose Jiang Baili, and this time let him take full authority to deal with the situation this time, just to take the school examination Jiang Baili.

"President, Nanyang is a big deal, you should be in charge yourself!"

"Brother Baili, you don't have to shirk, I have regarded you as my right-hand man all these years, and when this time has passed, I am ready to be a general in the whole army, and the whole army will be awarded the title in a unified manner, many people propose to award the rank of marshal to Brother Baili, you can't let everyone down!"

From the Republic of China, China has fought many wars, and a large number of excellent commanders have emerged, but there is no unified award, except for some lieutenant generals and major generals who have continued in Beiyang, the other generals are temporary titles, for this problem Qiao Yu made a statement, it is best to wait until the land is fully recovered, and then ceremoniously award the titles to all the generals.

There is no doubt that if you can get the military rank, you will naturally be the founder of the country, which has a great attraction to any soldier, it stands to reason that Jiang Baili's prestige and qualifications are enough, but there is a fatal problem, that is, Jiang Baili is not in charge, although the planning is also a merit, but it is not comparable to really commanding the war and recovering the homeland.

Qiao Yu's also made it very clear, he hoped that Jiang Baili could become a marshal in his name, and this time he was put in charge of the Nanyang issue, just to give him a chance to make great contributions, Jiang Baili already had no intention of winning, but he couldn't be regarded as idle for this kind of award.

This is a fame through the ages, Li Shimin drew a map of twenty-four heroes in Lingyan Pavilion, those founding heroes are famous and sung through the ages, this is a supreme honor, now China has developed from a world power from the point of being divided and bullied, and the merit is much greater than the founding heroes of the Tang Dynasty.

It is a big event destined to be famous in history, even if Jiang Baili no longer loves fame and fortune, he can't stand this temptation, so he smiled and said: "President, if you are not afraid that I will mess things up, I will bear it!" ”

"Brother Baili, you just have to rest assured to do it, with the Chinese Navy as your backing, what else do you have to worry about!"

After Jiang Baili got this task, he immediately began to arrange the operation, and at this time the news came that a large number of Japanese expatriates were massacred by the Dutch, and the explosion of the cargo ship could only be regarded as an accident, and China could not make a fuss about this matter, but after the massacre of overseas Chinese, China could not remain indifferent.

Because this is not the first time that the Netherlands has had problems, in the past history, the most massacres were Chinese, and just a few years ago, there was a massacre of Chinese on the island of Java. The Chinese Navy is also involved. Now that the Dutch authorities are once again massacring Japanese nationals, China must also come out and take a stand.

Immediately, both the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of National Defense of China held a special press conference to strongly condemn the actions of the Netherlands, holding that the massacre of unarmed expatriates by the Netherlands was a blatant provocation to world civilization and the most barbaric and shameless act. In the past history, the Netherlands has massacred innocent Chinese many times, which shows that this shameless action is the essence of the Dutch colonial government, which is a shameless and murderous government.

China strongly urges the Netherlands to deal with the perpetrators of the massacre as soon as possible, and to protect the safety of the Chinese diaspora in order to prevent a large-scale humanitarian crisis. China demanded that security forces be sent into Borneo!

China's tough statement soon broke the balance of the South Seas, and the Dutch immediately secretly shouted that they could look down on Japan, but they must not ignore China's influence, and there were still a large number of Chinese in the Dutch East Indies, and these people had long been inclined to China, and now they must not allow China to meddle in the affairs of the South Seas.

The Dutch immediately contacted the British, and now only the British Empire could counter Chinese influence. Relative to the panic of the Dutch. At this time, the Japanese government was jubilant, and China had promised to help Japan share the pressure on the British side. In the first few days of the incident, China did not make any noise, and Japan thought it had been fooled, but now China's tough statement is a huge encouragement to Japan.

Tanaka Yoshiichi immediately issued an ultimatum to the Dutch, putting forward a total of five conditions: to hand over the murderers of the expatriates and extradite them to Japan for trial; The Dutch government made a formal apology to Japan and compensated 4 million yuan for the damages; Set up a joint investigation team between the Netherlands and Japan to investigate the cargo ship explosion case; In Borneo's Japanese expatriate enclavage, Japanese expatriates have a high degree of autonomy; The Japanese government can invest in all the mines of the Dutch East Indies!

The most important of these is the establishment of autonomous regions, the Dutch are not fools, this is completely a country within a country, and the most in Nanyang is not the Japanese expatriate, but the Chinese expatriate, if this opening is opened, I am afraid that Nanyang will be full of Chinatowns, which the Dutch can not agree to no matter what.

In addition, investing in mines is also a very sensitive matter, Britain already has these powers, if Japan is intervening, this place is still Dutch!

The British government could not accept such conditions, and the Dutch side immediately rejected Japan's demand, and demanded that Japan abide by the international consensus and not try to undermine the peace in the South Seas.

Tanaka Yoshiichi and Emperor Hirohito had some intense communication, and finally decided to take tough measures against the Netherlands, and the Japanese took out all the only two aircraft carriers, the Fengxiang and the Ryuchamp, and twelve battleships such as the battleship Haruna, as auxiliary forces, and four troop transports and some supply ships, formed a task force and headed for Borneo.

Japan sent troops under the banner of protecting overseas Chinese, but all the countries understood that they were only afraid that war was about to break out, although the Dutch side was very tough, but at the critical moment it found that its strength was too weak, and the largest warship in the huge Dutch East Indies was a light cruiser.

Although the combined fleet has fallen, but it is not yet the Netherlands can contend with, now the Netherlands' biggest hope is the British, only the British Empire came forward, in order to keep Borneo, so the Dutch government continued to ask the British for help, and the British were also difficult to ride at this time.

If before World War I, as long as the prestige of the British Empire was displayed, no one in the Far East would dare not listen, but now the British Empire does not have that majesty, of course, even if the British are down, they still have to fight for their own face, just after the departure of the Japanese fleet, Britain also sent a battle group with the aircraft carrier Athletic God as the core.

At this time, the Chinese side suddenly came with the shocking news that the aircraft carrier Zhenyuan, which had just been launched for service, was officially visiting Siam at the invitation of the Siam Navy, and the two countries were to jointly negotiate the lease of the Sattahip military port.

This is also the first step arranged by Jiang Baili personally, the British were just about to leave Singapore on the front foot to interfere in the affairs of Borneo, and the Chinese aircraft carrier appeared in Siam on the back foot, making it clear that it was to cut off the back road of the British, this move was full of ruthlessness, and the British were in a dilemma!
