The establishment of the South China Republic was undoubtedly a blow to the Netherlands, and the Dutch government issued a statement for the first time not to recognize the South China Republic, saying that South Borneo was an overseas territory of the Netherlands, and at the same time protesting to the Chinese Empire.

The Netherlands didn't know who to find to help them at this time, and Britain and France, members of the Southeast Asian Colonial Administration, which had only been established for a long time, were trapped in the European war, and it was difficult to protect themselves, so they had to go to the United States to discuss.

The Governor of the East Indies hastened to gather troops from all over the country to suppress the indigenous rebellion and sailed to the south of Borneo to reclaim it. The Dutch garrison of 80,000 troops throughout the East Indies was scattered throughout the region to suppress indigenous rebellions, most so in Java and Sumatra.

The Dutch fleet in the East Indies, with only five obsolete warships and a few armored cruisers, was now in internal chaos, and the confrontation between the pro-Chinese and patriotic factions was officially launched.

Needless to say, the pro-Chinese faction is the officers who have been bought by China for several years, and they have all moved their families to the East Indies for various reasons, and they have little scruples. Coupled with the promises given to them by Huaxia, they were ready to plot against the Dutch fleet.

A group of Dutch naval officers sat around a large table, the door closed, and several soldiers stood guard at the door.

"Who else can help us today? Europe is in a big war, and it is estimated that China will not send people here, and the fleets of Britain and France in Asia are not opponents of the Chinese Empire, let alone our old warships. The Chinese Empire has established diplomatic relations with the Republic of South China, and they can come to the rescue of the Chinese at any time, according to intelligence, the Chinese fleet stationed in the Indian Ocean has appeared in the Strait of Malacca, we ......"

"Everyone, think clearly, whether you want to die or live, this is a difficult choice, once you choose then there is no turning back, and now you can quit."

None of the officers present withdrew after hearing this, and at this time withdrawal means death, not on the battlefield, but under the guns of their comrades, who dares to withdraw.

"Huaxia and the Republic of South China have promised us that in the future, we will be the naval forces of the Republic of South China, and our ranks and salaries will be increased, and we will be a member of the top of the Republic of South China. There is no doubt that with the support of China, the South China Republic will not be bad, and we will definitely live better in the future than we do now. ”

"If no one withdraws, then it's decided, launch the plan tonight, and then bombard Batavia."

"Yes......"

The Dutch fleet was anchored in the bay of Batavia, and the governor ordered them to protect the troops that were about to board for Borneo.

Batavia Bay is now very lively, even at night it is still brightly lit, the Dutch garrison is constantly carrying supplies onto cargo ships, the shops on the shore are not closed, and the soldiers are venting frantically in the bars because they are about to face a real war, no longer to suppress the natives.

The Dutch fleet slowly left the shore in the darkness of the night and sailed to the middle of the Batavia Bay, when bursts of gunfire and scolding were heard from the warships.

"Report, the plan was successful, all those who resisted were arrested, and those who dared to fight back were also killed, please instruct the commander."

"Go and convince them that they are willing to join us in the welcome, and if they are not willing, they will be locked up, and they will be kept in the South China government, and they will be notified to prepare the next plan."

"Yes, sir!"

"Boom !!"

The Dutch soldiers on the shore saw that the fleet preparing to dock suddenly burst into flames, and a roar sounded, dozens of shells fell on the team of cargo ships full of supplies, and then a larger fire rose into the sky, and in the firelight, it was obvious that some cargo ships were sinking.

"Help!"

"Is the Navy crazy to attack me, why?"

"Jump into the sea, damn it, what the hell is going on?"

Sailors and porters on the cargo ship frantically jumped overboard, and then quickly swam away from the cargo ship.

The army officers on the shore looked at the fleet that was shelling the cargo ships with wide eyes and incredulous, and they were so stunned that no one went to inform the governor.

"Oh my God, those Navy guys aren't going to be drunk, are they?"

"This ......"

"Quick, all hide, maybe the shells will fall here, run!"

Although many officers did not know what was going on in the navy, no one could guarantee that the shells would not land here, so they reminded the soldiers who were stunned and watched the excitement to take refuge.

Sure enough, no sooner had the officers finished speaking than a shell landed on the shore, which frightened the soldiers into hiding in a hurry.

There are shore defense guns on the shore, but everyone doesn't know what the fleet is about, so they don't dare to use it against the fleet, you must know that the Netherlands only has such a fleet here, and if it is broken, it will be over.

The Governor was fighting with his new love at this time, and was almost impotently frightened by the constant sound of cannons, and ran out wearing a pair of underwear.

"What's going on, where is the sound of cannons, is it the arrival of the Huaxia fleet?"

The butler of the Governor's Mansion wiped his sweat and said, "It seems that it came from the side of Batavia Bay, and I have already sent someone to investigate!" ”

"No, no, Your Excellency! Our fleet didn't know what was going on, and it actually shelled the cargo ships transporting supplies, and most of the cargo ships sank and are now shelling the shore......"

"What, is the naval fleet a rebellion? Prepare the car, I'm going to the port! ”

The Dutch fleet continued to bombard the shore, and the troops on the shore finally couldn't help it and used shore defense guns to warn the fleet, but the fleet continued to shell as if it hadn't seen it.

By the time the Governor arrived at the port, the fleet had left the shore and was moving out quickly.

The Governor almost vomited blood as he looked at the port that was on fire, and the naval fleet was gone, so he could only hold back his anger and let the army start to put out the fire.

A soldier suddenly rushed to the Governor with a telegram and carefully handed it to the Governor, who took it and immediately vomited blood and fainted.

It turned out that this was the Dutch fleet, well, it should be said that it was a telegram from the South China Fleet, stating that the fleet had officially separated from the Netherlands and became the naval fleet of the Republic of South China, so it attacked Batavia, and advised the Governor to also serve in South China, and it was strange that the Governor did not vomit blood.

The next day, Queen Wilhelmina, who was meeting with the ambassador of the United States to the Netherlands, received a telegram from the governor and almost fainted on the spot, which was simply the most humiliating thing in the history of the Netherlands.

The fleet stationed in the East Indies defected, the Dutch government did not know how to attack the Chinese in Borneo, and they did not dare to transfer the home fleet and army, God knows if the two camps would suddenly drag them in, so it was impossible for the Dutch to increase troops in the East Indies for the sake of homeland security.

In this way, the Netherlands can only be cheeky to ask for help from Britain, France and the United States, and let a few countries help.

At this time, the whole East Indies broke out in the uprising of the Chinese army, and Sulawesi and its indigenous forces that were fighting against the Dutch garrison openly declared their accession to the South China Republic, and for a time the East Indies were full of gunsmoke.

Britain, France and the United States stated that the Republic of South China was an illegitimate government because of the agreement signed on Southeast Asia, and demanded that it be dissolved as much as possible, and at the same time forced China to express its position, but China ignored it.

The three countries, especially Britain and France, did not dare to express too much toughness to Huaxia at all, fearing that Huaxia would fall to the Allies because of this, so they did not dare to blatantly support the Dutch, and the British troops stationed in Sarawak, that is, northern Borneo, only strengthened their military strength on the border and did not dare to go south.

"Bastard, this is premeditated for a long time, the European war gives them a chance, damn it!"

Not long ago, in order to prevent China from setting foot in Southeast Asia, Wilson reached an agreement with the Netherlands, although it is not an alliance, but it is still necessary to support the Netherlands.

At this time, the center of gravity of the United States is in Europe, always paying attention to Europe, and the major business oligarchs are hoarding materials, weapons and ammunition, preparing to make a war windfall, and they do not have much energy to deal with Asian affairs.

Huaxia had just solved the Fusang fleet, and the edge was exposed, and the United States did not want to oppose Huaxia too early, so after repeated discussions, it lent part of the United States fleet stationed in Luzon to the Netherlands, but at the cost of nearly 100 million rice yuan paid by the Netherlands.

Now the global situation is changing, the war between China and Fuso, the European war, the civil war between Tsarist Russia, the war between South China and the Netherlands, the constant friction in South America, Chile frequently holds military exercises on the border, Ecuador is in turmoil, and the dispute between civilians and soldiers has opened again.

On 2 April, the Germans occupied Paris, the Anglo-French forces withdrew to the Orleans-Caen line, and Spanish and Portuguese reinforcements had converged with the Anglo-French forces.

After the occupation of Paris, the Germans did not continue to launch a large-scale offensive, but waited for German reinforcements in the rear and the Balkan coalition, which had arrived in Reims and would soon join up with the large forces of the German front.

On April 3, the Ottoman Empire declared its accession to the Central Powers, declared war on the Allied member states, and sent troops to the Kingdom of Afghanistan and Egypt. In order to win over the Ottoman Empire, Germany promised to give the Ottoman Empire a loan of 100 million francs, and the Ottoman Empire had already expanded its territory in the Middle East and restored its previous glory, and its confidence was greatly increased after receiving the loan from Germany.

In contrast to the German victory in Europe, the German colonies, especially those in southwest Africa, were defeated by the British-backed forces of the South African Union and the Portuguese Angolan army, while the German East African colonies were attacked by Britain and its Belgian garrisons, and the two sides fought fiercely in the Kenyan region.

In Southeast Asia, German troops stationed in Papua New Guinea landed in Australia and attacked Australia in a big way, and the local Australian government lost a large part of the north by surprise.

On 4 April, Greece declared war on the Allied powers by announcing its membership in the Central Powers. Greece was also forced, one was that the Balkan coalition was eyeing them, and the Ottoman Empire also joined the Central Powers, and they had to join the Central Powers to form a Mediterranean Alliance with Austria-Hungary and its Ottoman Empire and other countries to go to the North African theater together.
