On July 11, 1906, at the Surabaya wharf, a passenger ship with a dragon flag slowly docked at the wharf, and the Indonesian natives who worked as coolies on the wharf immediately flocked to the pier, wanting to earn some hard-earned money by helping the guests who came off the ship to move the ceremony. It's just that although Surabaya is not small, there are not many boats from outside, and the possibility that these Indonesian natives make money is also very small. Therefore, the Indonesian natives who work as coolies on the dock are often not very mixed, full and hungry, and all of them are yellow and thin!

After the passenger ship docked and the gangway was lowered, the guests stepped down from the ship.

"Where are you going, sir? I'll take care of it for you! I have lived in Surabaya for more than 30 years and am very familiar with this place! "Dark-pitched indigenous Indonesians, in half-baked Mandarin, solicit business. However, unless there are people who actually carry a lot of luggage, there are often not many people willing to hire these indigenous Indonesians. The Chinese are also very disgusted with these Indonesian natives.

A young Chinese man dressed in a cyan robe and carrying a large box stepped off the passenger ship. Suddenly, several indigenous Indonesians greeted him with humble smiles on their faces.

"Sir, I'll salute you!" A diminutive Indonesian native in his thirties was the first to speak. His name is Sunobi, and he came to live in the countryside, but he couldn't live anymore, so he came to Surabaya to beg for a living, but what he never expected was that it was more difficult in Surabaya than in the countryside. The Indonesian natives of Surabaya are already poor when they come to live. Where will he be hired. The Chinese in Surabaya, in addition to factories, rarely employ indigenous Indonesians. The work in the factory is relatively heavy, working 12 hours a day, and Sunobigan cannot bear it. As a last resort, I had to come to the dock to look for work.

"No need, I'll do it myself!" The Chinese man frowned and refused.

"Sir, from the docks to the city. I only charge a dime of Chinese dollars, which is very cheap! Sunobi was unwilling to give up and continued to persuade. It's been a day today, and he hasn't received a single business yet, and if he can't make any more money. Then he's going to have to go hungry!

"No need!" The Chinese man said coldly, carrying the box and walking out.

However, Sunobi didn't know what was going on, but he stood in front of the Chinese man.

"Bang!" At this time, a wooden stick slammed into Sunobi's head, knocking him to the ground.

"Phew! Dirty Indonesian monkeys. Get out of the way! A young Chinese, holding a wooden stick in his hand, cursed viciously.

Surobi quickly got up from the ground and ran without looking back. These Chinese, now he can't afford to mess with them. However, his eyes shone with resentment. It's been a while since I've been in Surabaya. Sunobi is also aware of the current situation in Indonesia. If the countryside is still the world of Indonesia's indigenous people. That city is the world of the Chinese. Although, the number of Chinese is very small compared to the indigenous Indonesians. However, they are on top, and Indonesians can only be exploited by the Chinese.

"Brother Zixiang, you're finally back, we've been waiting for you for a long time!" The young Chinese man who knocked Sunobi down said to the Chinese man with a smile! This Chinese man, none other than Lin Zixiang, was born in Surabaya, but he is already a high-ranking officer in the Military Intelligence Agency, and now he has the rank of colonel.

"Aquatic, I haven't seen you for a long time, you've grown a lot stronger, and you've grown into a young man!" Lin Zixiang patted the young Chinese man on the shoulder, and said with a smile, this young man is an aquatic student. When they were looking for traces of the Japanese fleet, the people who survived with Lin Zixiang have now grown up!

"Brother Zixiang, this time you came back with some orders. Will we be able to succeed this time? "The eyes of the aquatic life are full of eager light. He has also joined the Military Intelligence Agency, but now he has at least the rank of second lieutenant. He only knew that Lin Zixiang returned to Surabaya with an order, but he could only guess what the specific order was!

"This is not the place to talk, let's go back and talk!" Lin Zixiang said.

Then the two men got out of the docks, got into a carriage, and hurried into the city. Along the way, Lin Zixiang sighed at the changes in Surabaya. He hadn't been back to Surabaya for two years, and now Surabaya is more prosperous, and the streets are full of shops run by Chinese. Obviously, the life of the Chinese here has been greatly improved!

"Brother Zixiang, now whether it is Indonesian employers or those white-skinned pigs, they don't dare to bully us anymore, and everyone's life is much better!" Aquatic explained to Lin Zixiang.

Lin Zixiang nodded, but he was a little worried in his heart. Chinese people have always been content with the status quo, if there is a stable life, then they are willing to change, right? However, Lin Zixiang then denied this idea. The empire has become one of the world's major powers, and the Chinese living overseas should want to return to the embrace of the motherland!

The place where Lin Zixiang and Shui Sheng went was the Chinese consulate in Surabaya. The official position of the aquatic life is also an officer in the consulate. At the Consulate in Surabaya, there is a platoon squadron stationed here to protect the security of the consulate and also to provide protection for the Chinese in case of incident.

"Colonel Lin, let's go all the way!" After arriving at the consulate, Lin Zixiang met Wang Jingchuan, the Chinese consul in Surabaya. Many Chinese cities in Indonesia have set up consulates. It is then managed by the Consulate General in Batavia.

"Hello, Mr. Consul! The journey was very smooth! Colonel Lin Zixiang shook hands with Consul Wang Jingchuan.

"Colonel Lin, let's take a rest first! In the evening, the consulate will hold a small banquet to welcome you. When the time comes, the Chinese representatives of Surabaya will participate! Consul Wang Jingchuan said.

"Don't bother, Your Excellency Consul, I came back secretly this time, and I can't make a public announcement. In addition, you can help me bring in the Chinese representatives of Surabaya secretly. This time, it's up to them to help! Colonel Lin Zixiang said.

"Colonel Lin, is the country ready to do it?" Consul Wang Jingchuan immediately asked. Sooner or later, China will attack Indonesia, and this is almost universally known. It's just that everyone doesn't know the exact time when China will start.

"Hmmm! The Military Intelligence Agency and the General Staff have already planned it, and they will start in a week. We will find a way to provoke a conflict between the Chinese and the indigenous Indonesians, and then take the opportunity to rise up and overthrow the Dutch rule in Indonesia! When the time comes, the Empire will support us from the sea! Colonel Lin did not deny it, and directly admitted.

"Haha! That's great! It's finally time to get started! Consul Wang Jingchuan and Shui Sheng both laughed.

"Aquatic, a ship will arrive tonight, and you need someone to bring the things from the ship to the consulate. That's the arms we're ready to make! Lin Zixiang commanded.

"Brother Zixiang, just look at me, there is absolutely no problem!" Aquatic patted his chest and promised!

That night, a rudimentary carriage entered the consulate through the back door. After entering the consulate, several elderly and middle-aged people stepped out of the carriage. If anyone recognizes them, they'll be amazed! These people are all prominent figures among the Chinese in Surabaya City. And they all came to the consulate secretly tonight, and if it gets out, the Dutch authorities will probably be very uneasy!

Led by the staff of the consulate, these Chinese came to the conference room of the consulate. Colonel Lin Zixiang and Consul Wang Jingchuan were already waiting for them. At this time, Lin Zixiang, dressed in a colonel uniform, looked quite heroic!

"Good evening, everybody!" Lin Zixiang and Consul Wang Jingchuan greeted everyone first.

"Hello Consul! Zixiang, it turned out that you came back to me, so I said why the consul was in such a hurry to find us! A middle-aged man patted Lin Zixiang's shoulder and said enthusiastically. His name is Wu Jingping, and he is the head of the Wu family in Surabaya, the Wu family is mainly engaged in shipping, and half of the merchant ships and cargo ships on the Surabaya wharf are theirs!

"Hello, Uncle Wu! Grandpa Liu, Grandpa Zhang, Uncle Chen, good evening! Lin Zixiang greeted these people respectfully. In front of these people, he is a small character!

Liu Hanwen, an old man of nearly 70 years old, the head of the Liu family, the Liu family runs the largest banana plantations in the east of Java Island, and can be called one of the richest Chinese families in Indonesia!

Zhang Minghui, who is only a few years younger than Liu Hanwen, also has white hair and beard, the head of the Zhang family, the Zhang family is mainly engaged in the grain business, selling a large amount of grain produced in Indonesia to China.

Chen Mingxuan, the helmsman of the Chen family, the Chen family is mainly engaged in the cloth business. The power of the family in Surabaya is also not to be underestimated.

"Zixiang, you haven't been back for two years, is this time coming back for business or private business?" Liu Hanwen asked.

"Grandpa Liu, let's be honest, I came back this time with an order!" Lin Zixiang replied directly.

"Orders? Zixiang, is the empire ready to do something to those white-skinned pigs? That's a good thing! We have long been looking forward to the annexation of Indonesia by the Empire! As soon as Lin Zixiang's words were finished, Wu Jingping shouted.

"Uncle Wu, this time the empire is indeed preparing to drive the Dutch away. We Chinese came to Indonesia before the Dutch, but the country established by us Chinese was destroyed by the Dutch. Over the years, there has been no shortage of opportunities for the Dutch and Indonesian natives. Now, the Emperor Xià has made up his mind to drive the Dutch out and annex Indonesia to the Empire. From now on, we Chinese will be able to truly be the masters of our own country! Colonel Lin Zixiang said to everyone!

"Haha! Good! Zixiang, what do you say a word, our Wu family will definitely support it! If you want people or money, our Wu family has absolutely nothing to say! Wu Jingping said immediately!
