While Australia is positioning itself for the development plan of 1642, Blackwater, headquartered in Batavia and registered in Manchester City, Australia, is also carrying out a new plan for the coming year.

With orders from the Dutch, Blackwater Security has grown into a large security company with more than 2,000 employees, and more than 1,700 direct combatants. The rest of the staff are logistics or administrative staff.

Blackwater's business has now expanded throughout Southeast Asia, and both the Dutch and the local indigenous kingdoms know such a formidable mercenary.

With the increasing number of employees in Blackwater, the combat effectiveness is getting stronger and stronger, and now there are not only down-and-out samurai from Japan, but also wandering retired soldiers from Europe, as well as refugees from the Ming Dynasty, and the whole composition can be said to be very international.

But its extraordinary combat effectiveness can be said to be both gratifying and worrisome, the happy is that the Chinese family in Batavia, the Dutch who are worried, hired Blackwater to deal with the natives in order to keep them away from Batavia, but I didn't expect that now they are getting bigger and bigger, and they have built a small city not far from Batavia, sixty kilometers away.

The city had its own businesses and shops, as well as its own daily supply of goods, which was completely beyond the control of the Batavian authorities, and even Dutch officials had to show documents to enter the small city.

The authorities of the Viceroyalty of Batavia have been so unhappy with this situation that they have submitted verbal protests on more than one occasion, and even the threat of reduced hires has not been able to get Blackwater's top brass to abandon the decision.

Of course, Van Diemen also mentioned the matter to the Australian embassy, but in the end it was not known.

Blackwater is not just a growing town, and the Dutch in Batavia seem to feel threatened, like a nail stuck in their hearts at any time, ready to kill themselves.

In the face of such a nail, of course, the Netherlands will not sit still, although the war on the surface is not enough, but the actions in the secret are constant, such as the Australian goods and munitions landed through the Batavia dock, they will always be targeted by them at some time, and the goods will not arrive in Blackwater City on time for various reasons.

How could the top leaders of Blackwater not know the intentions of the old Dutch in these small actions, they just turned a blind eye, after all, Blackwater didn't want to fight with them, which was not good for themselves.

Although the Dutch secretly made constant moves, Tang Wei and Jiang Junbo and the Chinese family in Batavia also made small moves, and through the platform of Blackwater, the Chinese family put their children into the mercenary team, while cultivating their own military talents, and at the same time preparing for the great changes in the future.

At this stage, Blackwater can be said to be just a large training base, which is developing in the direction of the town, the reason why the Dutch want to enter this town towards the development of the town, is to gradually extend their influence here, according to their investigation, the entire Blackwater City is under construction, and they can judge the construction materials transported from the Australian mainland, plus the labor recruited from Batavia and the surrounding areas.

It was not difficult to tell that this was a permanent structure such as a house, so the idea was to send a few officials to the town, and in the future, when it gradually developed into a town, it could also contribute to the tax burden of the Viceroyalty of Batavia.

It's just that Blackwater certainly won't agree so easily, although this land nominally belongs to the Dutch East India Company, but in order to prevent Blackwater from staying in Batavia, the Dutch have leased a 20-kilometer radius of this land to Blackwater, and later sold this part of the land to Blackwater for mortgage payment because they hired Blackwater to fight.

In mid-October, Blackwater officially bought the land for 200,000 Spanish dollars for 100 years, and in a sense it is now Blackwater's private property.

The Dutch have no right to intervene in all operations and activities, and this is also where the Dutch regret it, thinking that they just thought that Blackwater wanted a base for training personnel, but they did not expect that now they will develop towards a town, with the increase in population, plus some specially introduced Chinese businessmen, I am afraid that this place may really develop into a prosperous town in ten years.

Heishui's goal is actually not that big, all these plans are carried out under the promotion of the domestic government, just borrowing the name of Heishui to do things, Jiang Junbo and Tang Wei have good ideals, but they are not high enough to build a kingdom on a piece of land, they just have a certain pursuit of wealth.

The government wants to use their name to build a town here that is completely controlled by the Chinese, and Blackwater's identity is just right, although it has an Australian background, it is a private identity after all.

This identity is too suitable for the needs of the Australian government, and at the same time, its expansion also has the credit of the Dutch, who originally wanted to borrow the power of Blackwater to strengthen their control over the entire Java Island, so to a certain extent, Blackwater has the opportunity to expand its power.

By the time the Netherlands reacted now, the power of Blackwater had completely expanded, and the Dutch could not do it easily at this time, not to mention whether they could win or not, that is, Blackwater's ability to fight in the rainforest for many years, and the Dutch soldiers did not have it.

Not to mention that the war will not attract the intervention of the Australians, it is even more difficult to say, but it is certain that Blackwater City is definitely a threat to Batavia, and secretly the Dutch have also made their own moves, giving benefits to the loyal indigenous tribes, allowing them to harass Blackwater City all the time.

In the past week, there have been more than three natives with a scale of more than 100 people who have launched an attack on Blackwater, but they have all been repulsed, and these natives with spears, bows and arrows are really not in their eyes, but now is a critical period for the development of Blackwater.

Therefore, Jiang Junbo decided to teach these natives a cruel lesson, letting them know that Blackwater City was not something they wanted to come to, and all the materials in Blackwater City had been assembled, just waiting for him to give an order to exterminate those hateful natives.

The reason why the war has not been launched so far is because it is close to the end of the year, according to the Australian practice, the main strategy and guidelines for the coming year will be announced at the end of each year, so they are waiting for the domestic policy, after all, the construction of Blackwater City is under the instruction of the government, if the policy does not conflict with the war, they will launch this war against the natives without thinking.

There are still 8 days before New Year's Day, and in Tang Wei's office, the wall calendar on the wall will be circled with a pen every day, and when New Year's Day arrives, it is the time to officially decide whether to go to war or not.
