Chapter 190: Dutch East Indies (3)

"Yes, we must not let the Huaxia Empire reach out to Australia, we must prevent Huaxia from annexing the East Indies, Huaxia's territory at this time is already vast enough!"

"Seconded!"

"Seconded!"

As many as ninety percent of the people agreed to cooperate with the Dutch to put pressure on the Chinese, and the next target of the Chinese after taking control of the East Indies was likely to be their colonies Australia and New Zealand, which must be stopped.

Asquith looked at these seconders and sighed softly: "If the pressure is effective, the Huaxia Empire will not detain the cargo ships we support Fusang, and if we cooperate with the Netherlands, our purpose of winning over Huaxia will completely fail, and it is likely that the Huaxia Empire will completely fall to the German camp." In addition, the general trend of the Chinese in the East Indies has been decided, unless the United States can also be pulled to exert pressure, the United States is crazy and wants colonies to open up new markets, otherwise it will not take away the Spanish colonies in Southeast Asia. ”

"I don't want to be too anxious, I believe that the Netherlands has not only contacted us, wait for the reactions of various countries to see later!"

"Seconded!"

“……”

Everyone agreed to wait for a while to see how the countries and China reacted, and they didn't want to be the first to eat the "crab".

When Asquith and others were discussing, the high-level governments of the developing country and the United States were also discussing, and the views of the developing countries were similar to those of Britain, and they were all waiting for people to take the lead. And the United States has made a sensation, there are too many markets and resources in the entire East Indies, and they have long been peeping on the sidelines, but since the Chinese people entered there, they have been very excluded and suppressed, and it is difficult for the merchants of the United States to develop there.

The people of the United States are very helpless at the same time when they are excited, which is enough to compare with the colonies of the East Indies, they have no rice at all, their largest colony is the Philippines that was snatched from Spain, and the Netherlands probably will not want this, in general, they can't get a good place to exchange with the Netherlands.

"There must be a problem for the Dutch to exchange for the East Indies, which is a good place, where a third of the oil of Pan-Asian Oil is extracted, and in addition to the large number of minerals found there, the Netherlands will not be ready to exchange it."

"The intelligence bureau found that the Chinese power in the East Indies was very strong, and it had surpassed the influence of the Netherlands there, so it can be said that it was out of the control of the Netherlands at this time, so it was ready to exchange colonies. If the Chinese Empire swallows up the East Indies, then our Philippine colonies will face a huge threat, no matter what the Netherlands does, we must cooperate with them! ”

"The expansion of the power of the Chinese Empire must be stopped, the Pacific Ocean is Millican's, and Southeast Asia is too, it is necessary for us to support the actions of the Netherlands!"

Wilson and others also saw the expansion of the Chinese Empire in Southeast Asia, and agreed that it was necessary to contain the development of China in Southeast Asia, because the actions of the Chinese had threatened Millican's interests in the Pacific, and they were even more greedy for the East Indies than the Chinese.

At the same time, Germany, as a Dutch territory, also knew about seeking to exchange territory with the Netherlands, because the Netherlands even sent people to negotiate with Germany, which also had several colonies in Africa, and the Netherlands wanted to exchange these colonies, but Germany directly refused.

Just kidding, how could Germany not know about Huaxia's small actions in the East Indies after cooperating with the Huaxia Empire for so long, no matter how rich the resources there are, they can't reach out, and it's still too far for Germany, it's better to let it fall into the hands of Huaxia, at least they can buy more resources from there.

Since the rise of the Chinese Empire, Wilhelm II has become less and less concerned about the colonies in Asia, Jiaozhou has been returned to the Chinese Empire, and there are not many German colonies in Asia.

"If it is not unexpected, all countries will put pressure on the Chinese Empire, and even I want to do this, the speed of expansion of the Chinese Empire is too fast, it has just occupied most of the territory of Tsarist Russia, and now it has started the idea of a Dutch colony, which must make all countries disgusted, you must know that now the world has been carved up, if China succeeds, it will definitely cause a new colonial problem."

Wilhelm II was also very jealous of the expansion of the Chinese Empire, and they Germany had wanted to break this blockade for a long time, but it had been fruitless, because the world had long been divided and there was no place for them. The colonies of various countries are basically formed, and if China starts, then a new carve-up frenzy must start anew, so all countries are unwilling to watch China occupy the Dutch colonies.

Not surprisingly, the news that the Netherlands was ready to exchange the East Indies colonies soon appeared in the mainstream newspapers of the West, and then triggered major newspapers to rush to report, and there were also many news deliberately released by various governments, such as: the power of the Chinese in the East Indies, the reason why the Netherlands did this, why Huaxia issued the article that focused on the Chinese, Huaxia had the ambition to seize the East Indies, and so on.

The matter of the Dutch exchange of colonies has been hyped up, but the Chinese government has been silent, which has made the matter of exchanging colonies continue to heat up, and some contents of the Huaan plan have also been exposed, causing an uproar in the West.

The Chinese government, which had been silent, had to come out to "refute the rumors": "On behalf of the Chinese Empire, I solemnly promise to the world that the so-called Hua'an Plan is also the first time we have heard of it. The Chinese in the East Indies have always abided by Dutch rule and local laws and regulations, and their actions are all private acts, not on behalf of the Chinese Empire, but if the rights of the Chinese are violated, our country has the right to protect them! Here, I once again declare that our Chinese Empire loves peace and advocates peace, and will not provoke war without authorization! ”

The statement issued by Foreign Minister Wu Yanfang did not cool things down, but the Netherlands also stated that it was not ready to exchange colonies because of the problem of the Chinese in the East Indies, but because the East Indies were too far away from the Netherlands to be easy to manage, and they wanted to change some near-point colonies to make it easier to manage, etc.

After discussions, Chen Fu and other core high-level officials of the cabinet decided to negotiate with the Netherlands, preparing to exchange the South China Sea Province with the Netherlands for Borneo and Sumatra. After Qin Yu saw this matter, he approved it directly, and Qin Yu also knew what Chen Fu meant, that is, to play with the Netherlands.

Queen Wilhelmina opened her mouth in surprise when she saw the telegram sent back by the ambassador to China, "What, Huaxia actually wants to exchange with me, or exchange that rebellious territory for Borneo and Sumatra, this is impossible!" ”

She didn't know if Huaxia really wanted to exchange or was playing with her, but she knew that this exchange was completely unequal, and any of the two islands was larger than Nanhai Province in area, and the resources were richer than there, so it was impossible to want to exchange.

Now that Nanhai Province is still at war, in her opinion, the Chinese Empire has no sincerity at all, and it is clear that it is lying to her.

"Sue the Huaxia government, this is not impossible to consider, first of all, we must make sure that it is Huaxia, and secondly, the exchange is not equal, if you add Hainan and Duwan Island, I don't mind the exchange!" Wilhelmina didn't say anything and fought back in the same way, after all, Huaxia also released her own signal like this, that is, there is still the possibility of sitting down and talking.

On the other side, Huaxia also quickly received a reply, and Chen Fu, who saw that he wanted to exchange Hainan and Duwan Islands, was very angry, and a small Dutch dared to open his mouth, which was simply unaware of life and death, and immediately hinted that the Chinese in the East Indies would reduce their trade with the Netherlands and march on the streets.

Early the next morning, large-scale Chinese demonstrations broke out in Batavia and other large cities in the East Indies to protest against the Western media's blackening of the East Indies Chinese.

The Governor's Office of the East Indies did not send any soldiers to maintain discipline, fearing that the soldiers would clash with the Chinese, causing Chinese casualties to give the Chinese Empire a reason to send troops, and the Chinese procession only surrounded the Governor's Palace and various newspapers, demanding that the newspapers apologize to the Chinese.

In the eyes of the Western newspapers, the Governor's Office did not send troops to maintain discipline, and they were frightened by the Chinese, and they wrote a lot about it, saying that the local Chinese were strong and that the Dutch colonial rule existed in name only.

The Dutch government was annoyed and at the same time did not dare to let the Governor's Palace send troops, God knows if there were people from the Huaxia Empire in the procession, if there was a conflict, whether it was right or wrong, Huaxia would take advantage of this to make things bigger, and then find a reason to send troops here.

At this time, Britain, France, and other countries openly declared their willingness to exchange the East Indies, hoping that the Netherlands would consider them, and at the same time secretly reducing trade with China in order to put pressure on China. Then the Dutch government said that if possible, it would divide the East Indies into dozens of shares and exchange them, so that all countries would have the opportunity.

The Dutch government cannot but say that it is ruthless, divided into dozens of exchanges, and exchanges a little with each of the Western powers, then the power of the East Indies will become more complicated, and it is impossible for the Chinese Empire to be enemies of all countries at the same time, so the plans of the Chinese Empire will be finished from a certain process, but the premise is that all countries really go to exchange.

The Dutch government has been putting pressure on the Chinese government in disguise, not breaking the relationship between the two countries, just not wanting to cause a war. In fact, the Netherlands had already determined that the Chinese government was unkind to the East Indies at this time, so it would repeatedly say that it wanted to exchange colonies, and there was helplessness in it, just like Spain and the United States at the beginning.

Half a month has passed, and Queen Wilhelmina, who was forced to maintain her rule over the East Indies, bowed to the Chinese Empire, and did something that shocked all countries in the world, and also caused a huge crack in the relationship between the Chinese Empire and the United States.
