Chapter 600: The Great Nanyang Rebellion (7)

@@@@@@@@

The nights in Surabaya City are hot and humid, and the Avalis Manor next to Dongcheng District is the largest private villa in Surabaya City. Count Avallis, who was once the aide-de-camp of General Raffles who captured the East Indies for the Dutch, and the first Dutch officer to establish a colonial office in Surabaya City, embezzled tens of thousands of guilders from his annual tax revenue and spent three years building the private castle.

The Earl of Avasley has been dead for many years, and the castle has been visited several times. Because of its proximity to Balekpapan, it is now the property of the Anglo-Dutch Shell Oil Company. The estate's independent petrol generator lights up the night, and men and women dance to the tune under crystal lamps brought in from Spain.

Mr. Worcester, the head of the East India of the Anglo-Dutch Shell Company, stood in front of the window, looking at the Great Mosque in the night with a wine glass, his face gloomy. "Baron Jellifer, is there anything upset?" Seeing that he was frowning, a short and fat man took the initiative to come over and ask why.

Worcester knew the man, who was the head of DSM's East India and one of his good friends. Like Shell, DSM is a world-class chemical company with a deep background. Especially after the European War and the decline of the German chemical industry after the war, DSM has completely monopolized the lacquer business in the entire East Indies and has become the largest paint manufacturer in Europe.

In the face of his friend Worcester, there was nothing to hide, and he hated: "What else can there be?" ”

The short and fat man smiled, knowing that he had a bad time in the past few years, first missing out on the Sumatra oil field, and then Mobil taking the opportunity to enter the Chinese market. In addition, the Sumatra crisis has caused a stalemate in the relationship between the Netherlands and China, and Shell has hardly received any valuable orders for several years, and although there is still a major customer in Japan, the total economic volume of Japan is far from being comparable to that of the emerging Chinese market. But he couldn't help with this, and smiled and comforted, "Jerliver, I think you're doing something wrong. As much as I hate China, I can't ignore such a big market, and Wall Street is doing better than us in this regard. ”

Worcester also regretted it a little. If it had been directly in the form of business cooperation, it might not have been so embarrassing. Not only did he not regret taking the medicine now, but what was worse was that his geologists told him that there were probably several other large oil fields hidden near Minas. But the fact that all those lands were bought by China's Gulf Oil Company can not be angry.

He couldn't tell anyone about the trade secrets, and he now only hoped that the crisis in West Borneo would end sooner. Then, before the Gulf Oil Company found out, they found a way to buy back some of the land. Thinking of this, he was about to change the topic to ask about DSM's development in China and prepare for returning to the Chinese market in the future, but suddenly there were several crisp voices in the distance outside the window.

"What's the sound?"

The short and fat man also heard the strange noise, and the two looked at each other and hurriedly ran to the balcony to see clearly, but before they could reach the position, a loud noise suddenly came from the direction of the door. "Boom!" The sound shook the expensive Spanish crystal lamps on the ceiling, and a black and red fireball rose in the direction of the gate. By the light of the fire, Worcester gasped violently, only to see that hundreds of armed men had come out of nowhere and had smashed open the gate and rushed into the manor, and people continued to fall under the crackling fire.

"Ahh

"Damn it. Get your gun. ”

"It's the natives."

In an instant, the Avalis Manor, known as the symbol of the colonists, was overwhelmed by a mob that appeared without warning, and before the manor guards could draw their guns, a large group of Islamic guerrilla soldiers who had just learned to use pistols rushed into the hall. The star-like crystal lamps and extravagant decorations stunned the soldiers who rushed in, and they had never seen such a beautiful house in the rainforest and slums. There are also so many large Yanmars with half of their white flowers and breasts exposed, and their clothes are exposed.

The hatred of the rich and greed drowned out reason, and the bullets shot out as if they didn't want money. Worcester and other tycoons were pressed to the ground and tied up, which was Xiao Jinyun's idea, because these big men would be worth a lot of money. As for the women, they were not so lucky, and soon they were stripped naked like prey, and the soldiers who rushed in even lined up early to ride over and over again on these white meats, which usually drew a scolding even a second glance. Venting his animal desires over and over again.

The chandeliers were torn down, the silver cutlery was looted, and the gold leaf embedded in the corners of the table was dug up and taken away. The soldiers still do not understand what the women they humiliated and the kidnapped Wooster and others mean to the East Indies.

The police chief, who was holding a Japanese courtesan and dreaming of a European award, was pushed into the street and beaten to death by a group of soldiers who rushed in. When the police station, the tax office, the telegraph office, the railway station, the dock, the shops and even a few gunboats in the harbor were occupied by the sudden arrival of guerrilla soldiers, the whole of Surabaya was in a frenzy! Hundreds of European and American businessmen who had not had time to flee were killed, the women were humiliated, the red-eyed soldiers almost saw what they were robbing, and many Chinese businessmen were also robbed and killed.

In order to strengthen the strength of the rebel army and take this base camp as soon as possible, Xiao Jinyun personally led the team to attack the most important Surabaya barracks. The Surabaya Barracks was the most important supply depot for the Dutch garrison in eastern Java and Sulawesi, with more than 1,000 soldiers stationed all year round. But with the outbreak of the crisis in West Borneo, a large number of soldiers were transferred to protect Borneo from the Chinese landing, and now there are fewer than 300 people left. But even if there are only a few people, it is not a local chicken and a dog that can be defeated casually. The strong granite and concrete ramparts were a nightmare for all partisans, especially since there were also a large number of weapons in stock, including a dozen 75mm rapid-fire guns alone, as well as quite a few grenadiers and machine guns.

The Dutch soldiers were alarmed by the noisy city, and they at first thought it was an ordinary riot, but when a dozen grenades were thrown through the wall at the same time, they realized that war had broken out!

A terrible whistle sounded throughout the barracks, and the garrison rushed into the watchtowers and bunkers. But the violent explosion that happened soon buried all hopes, Xiao Jinyun and his subordinates were all elite of the Military Intelligence Bureau, and they easily blasted the barracks with explosives packets, and when the violent explosion sounded from three sides at the same time, thousands of fanatical guerrilla soldiers in the rubble and smoke also rushed in, and many thugs who temporarily joined the guerrillas because they did not have guns. Simply attack with traditional broadswords and javelins.

"Allah." A fanatical religious soldier raised two grenades and shouted Allah to rush to the machine-gun bunker, which was shattered to pieces at the same time with a loud bang.

Dozens of CIA soldiers rushed to the front, and although the Islamic guerrilla soldiers who were in chaos on the road were out of order, the mere 300 Dutch soldiers who had lost their bunkers could not stop so many fanatical religious fighters, and in the end they were either captured or killed on the spot.

By the time Sukarno walked into the barracks with corpses and blood, the battle was over. Although at the heavy price of more than 400 guerrilla soldiers. But as soon as he stepped into the arsenal, he forgot about the losses. Piles of Mauser rifles, grenades, grenadiers and even a dozen Han II light machine guns licensed by Germany are enough to arm 2,000 regular troops! Hurriedly grabbed Xiao Jinyun's hand and praised him as the greatest hero of the revolution.

Xiao Jinyun is not interested in heroes, he only cares about the safety of the Chinese in Surabaya. Because you can find it from the top of the building. The city of Surabaya has been ablaze at night, the city has been filled with madness, cries and massacres, and the rebel soldiers have become complete thugs. Ignore all destruction and indulgence!

There were tens of thousands of Chinese in the city of Surabaya, and the persecution against his compatriots had to be stopped as much as possible, so he hurried to Sukarno: "It's too messy! Our targets were the colonial army and the pagans of Europe. Soekarno brothers, after the independence of the East Indies, diplomatic help will be needed, and if it is allowed to destroy without restraint, I am afraid it will offend everyone! ”

Sukarno had been distracted by the arsenal, and it wasn't until Xiao Jinyun pulled him upstairs that he realized that things were starting to get out of control. The partisan officers clearly underestimated the power of several thousand guns. Even the pistols were powerful enough against the unprepared police and the few colonial troops, and the ease with which Surabaya was taken was obviously overly exciting for the soldiers.

Sukarno, of course, knew that if the massacres were allowed to be carried out, the Islamic League of the East Indies would become a street rat that everyone shouted at. So he immediately contacted Havard and asked him to order a ban on the robbery of Chinese and other merchants, and only target the Dutch colonial government.

Xiao Jinyun didn't dare to guarantee how effective the order would be, let alone directly intervene to rescue, because since it started, it must not stop. Only by completely disrupting the whole East Indies can we get rid of the fire: "Brother Soekarno." We must not just focus on Surabaya, we should immediately send troops to Batavia to support the uprising of the GC League. If they were suppressed, we would have to face Dutch reinforcements alone. ”

Sukarno had also gradually woken up from his ecstasy, first put his student army on new equipment, and then contacted Havard to say that he had taken the barracks and quickly took the main force to Batavia by train.

At the same time as the riots in Surabaya City. Batavia, however, had a peaceful mix of wine glasses.

In the banquet hall of the Governor's Palace, Lord Deco held a surprising banquet to entertain the Chinese delegation, which had not been given a good face in the past month, and this kind of vastly different treatment almost made Wang Zhaoming wonder if the governor had been replaced.

After a few words of greeting, Wang Zhaoming, who was anxious to reach an agreement as soon as possible, turned to the topic: "Mr. Governor, West Borneo." Before he could finish speaking, Lord Deco interrupted with a smile: "Your Excellency, rest assured, our government is reviewing the possibility of a free economic zone, but you know that it will take some time. ”

"And how long will it take?" Hu Hanmin was most anxious. Seeing that Yang Qiu's visit to the United States is coming to an end, once he returns, he will definitely take over the crisis negotiations again, and if he cannot reach an agreement before then, the hard work of more than a month will be completely in vain.

Lord Decaux had planned to continue to delay, so he frowned, "It's hard to say. As a European democracy, the Kingdom of the Netherlands has a very strict three-tier parliamentary system, which I think will take about half a year or more. ”

first mocked Yang Qiu's dictatorship, and then said that it would take at least half a year, Wang Zhaoming immediately understood that this was a deliberate delay. But now that the situation is stronger than men, and we cannot really fight, we have to avoid the truth and take a false interest in the trade of the East Indies: "Mr. Governor, the East Indies are the center of trade in the whole of the South Seas, and if there is a long period of turmoil, will it not hurt the interests of all of us?" I think you should know something about this. I think it is better to resolve this matter as soon as possible, so that peace can be restored and everyone will get rich together. ”

How could Lord Decaux not know how much damage the confrontation caused, but the problem is that China's conditions are too harsh! Not to mention the free trade zone where the yellow soup does not change the dressing, it is impossible to pay $15 million in compensation alone. So he immediately shook his finger: "But the conditions of your country are too harsh, you must know that the tax revenue of the entire East Indies is less than 50 million US dollars a year, and it is impossible for us to pay this money." ”

"We can talk about money, can we sign a free trade zone agreement first?" Hu Hanmin took the opportunity to say on the side.

"No, I can't. This matter must be decided by our government! "Lord Decaux quite decisively refused again. Wang Zhaoming was about to continue speaking, when two Dutch officers suddenly walked in at the door, and after glancing around and finding Lord Decaux, who was surrounded by the two, they came with a nervous expression and hurriedly muttered in their ears.

Wang Zhaoming didn't know what the two of them said, but Lord Decco's transient face couldn't hide his eyes, and when he was secretly thinking of something that would make a governor so nervous, the night wind brought a roar like thunder.

Li Liejun, who had listened to all kinds of explosions for more than ten years, got up almost reflexively and walked to the window, looking deeply at the direction where the sound came from.

Seeing this, Wang Zhaoming was curious and hurriedly asked, "Xia Ru, you." ”

"It's an explosion! The explosion of black powder! ”

"Explosions? How could there be an explosion? There were also many local Chinese businessmen present, and when they heard this, they immediately whispered earnestly, and many people sneered at the KMT general. But then the appearance of a large group of Dutch soldiers suddenly made the atmosphere tense, and a moment later it was like tens of thousands of firecrackers had been thrown outside, and the whole city suddenly became noisy.

Gunshots, explosions and shouts began to fill the streets, and GC International, led by Vychensky, received a telegram from the Islamic League in Surabaya and decided to launch an early uprising. Tens of thousands of workers and destitute people joined the uprising, armed with broadswords and sticks, and wreaked havoc as much as Surabaya, turning the city of Batavia upside down.

Wang Zhaoming opened his mouth wide and suddenly looked at Hu Hanmin, before he came, he knew that the latter had a deep connection with the poor party, who else could launch such a big armed uprising but the poor party? But Hu Hanmin was also stunned at this time, he didn't expect that the poor party would actually revolt and seize power with an armed uprising, and he was suddenly frightened to the back of his spine, afraid that his relationship with the poor party would be exposed.

At this moment, the electric lights suddenly turned on and off, and the entire governor's palace was plunged into darkness. When the frightened screams rang out, Li Liejun secretly shouted that something was wrong. He didn't expect the rebel army to capture the power plant so quickly, and the scale was probably huge according to this momentum, so he shouted while running out: "Ji Xin, I'll go back and bring people to protect the expatriates, you and Hermes-Epitek will send a telegram for help, quickly!" ”

Rush out and send a telegram now? Looking at the city under the cover of night, Hu Hanmin swallowed his saliva and retreated a few steps. Wang Zhaoming saw that he didn't even have the guts, so he was so angry that he stomped his feet and rushed out of the governor's mansion alone...... (To be continued.)
