Chapter 595: The Great Rebellion in the South Seas (2)

@@@@@@@

On the ship back to Borneo, Zhuang Meisheng still didn't understand why he wanted Marin's life. Because as far as he knew, Marin was the main leader of the East India GC Alliance, and this person was very important if he wanted to provoke the revolutionary movement in the East Indies, so he was very surprised by Xiao Jinyun's approach and origin.

Xiao Jinyun is not the one who suddenly appeared, he is Xiao Anguo's nephew. Before the war in Europe, he studied at the German Army Academy, and after the outbreak of the war, he joined the German army according to the agreement and was sent to fight on the Western Front. Together with Liu Mingzhao, Long Yun, Dongfang Chen and Lu Han, he made many military exploits, was received and commended by the Kaiser, and was praised as the "German 9-man group" by the army. After returning to China, Liu Mingzhao and Long Yun successively went to the front-line troops for training, and others also served as foreign military attachΓ©s in the world, Xiao Jinyun served as a military attache in Turkey for three years, and because he dealt with most Islamic and Arab countries, he became the head of the Malaya Station of the Military Intelligence Bureau after leaving office.

As for Xiao Jinyun's approach, it is simpler, because Marin was the first revolutionary to join the East India Islamic League as a party member, and he has a very wide base of friends within the alliance. If he died, it would definitely arouse the hatred of the East Indies GC Alliance and the Islamic League against the Dutch colonists, and if he continued to live, it was likely that Xiao Jinyun's identity would be exposed, after all, he had been in the Nanyang region for many years, and his familiarity had a great influence, which was very unfavorable to the follow-up operation.

After listening to the introduction, Zhuang Meisheng completely understood that Yang Qiu was probably not just about creating a crisis to force Britain and Dutch to bow his head, this was to use the opportunity of the riot to insert a group of people to infiltrate the East India GC Alliance and the Islamic League!

Dai Yunong regretted that as the head of the East Indies, he had to watch this drama, but there was no way to do it. Although the activities of the three major intelligence ministries in Nanyang are secretive. But the opponent is not a vegetarian, especially after Sumatra, the British intelligence department is very close to the East Indies, and if it is a shot, no matter how secretive it is, it will always leave traces, so the above decided to mobilize Xiao Jinyun, who is active on the peninsula, to do it.

Zhuang Meisheng did not return to Pontianak with Dai Yunong, but disembarked halfway through Batavia to ask an old friend for help. At this time, the atmosphere in the port of Batavia was tense, and the battleship HMS Counterattack of the British Royal Navy with 5 warships anchored outside the port to protect day and night. On the opposite side of them. The battle cruiser Dinghai, the heavy cruiser Sakhalin, and the training aircraft carrier Tangnu-Ulianghai were just 40 kilometers away, and the carrier-based aircraft on the aircraft carrier occasionally skimmed the edge of the Batavia harbor, adding to the tension.

The streets and alleys were filled with patrols and colonial troops. The harbor fortress was stationed 24 hours a day, and anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns sent from Singapore were erected at high ground, a state of high readiness that had not been seen for decades, and the Dutch soldiers complained bitterly.

Although the confrontation between China and Britain is tense. However, the navies of both sides have exercised a minimum of restraint to ease the atmosphere of the ongoing negotiations on the crisis in Central Dutch Borneo in the city.

However, the negotiations reached an impasse from the beginning, and Nanjing's conditions seemed simple: handing over $15 million in compensation to the murderer, and at the same time, in order to prevent such incidents from happening in the future, demanding that the Chinese in West Borneo (including Natuna, which was then under the jurisdiction of West Borneo) be granted autonomy, and that an open convoy be formed to cooperate with the East India Police and the Dutch garrison to ensure the security of the area.

There is no problem in handing over the murderer, Batavia has sent about 1,500 soldiers to West Borneo one after another. Almost half of the Batavian garrison has been drained, and more than 400 rioters have been arrested. The compensation figure is a bit large, but it is not unbearable, but this autonomy is too harmful! After the discovery of the Sumatra oil fields, there were countless private individuals and companies from all over the world who came to the East Indies to explore, and as many as 40 enterprises from China and Japan alone opened mines in Borneo, Sumatra and Sulawesi in search of resources. Coupled with the arrival of British, French, American and other countries, the entire East Indies has long been in chaos.

Hundreds of companies with complex power backgrounds poured out overnight, making the Dutch government dumb and unable to say what happened, and blamed Britain for acquiescing in China's Gulf Oil Company, but it can't turn the other cheek with its allies, right? So many forces came in, plus the local Islamic League, the East Indies GC League, the Chinese, and the growing number of the Japanese four. It's strange if you don't worry about it. But at least these people still recognize the neutral status of the Netherlands, and they all recognize that the East Indies is a Dutch colony, and that the taxes that should be paid are correct, and they should cooperate with each other, and everyone will get rich honestly.

At this time, Yang Qiu suddenly used the riots to ask the Netherlands to give the Chinese autonomy in West Borneo! It's not a small hassle. Although there was a parliament in the East Indies, it was only a showpiece to satisfy the indigenous suffrage. The Chinese Autonomous Region is different! The current China is not the Manchu government, the navy is second-rate in the eyes of Europe and the United States, but it is dozens of times stronger than the Netherlands, just like Spain and the United States in the past, the two countries are not an order of magnitude opponents at all, if autonomy is given, West Borneo is bound to become an outpost for China to penetrate Borneo and even the East Indies.

If the Borneo Chinese can be self-governing, does it mean that Java can be self-governing and Sumatra can be self-governing? Even Malaya and Annan can be self-governing! If the flame of revolution spreads to Malaya and even Burma and India, then the great Soviets will not be able to take advantage of the situation to go south to seize India, and even if they cannot take it, they can develop southward, break through the imperialist encirclement, and realize the dream of the GC International to promote the world workers' revolution!

Thinking of this, Vychensky was full of excitement, if he could take the opportunity to promote the wave of revolution in Nanyang, wouldn't it mean that the imperialist encirclement would be smashed with his own hands?!

"It should be launched immediately."

In a secluded room in the port of Batavia, the black press was crowded with poor party activists from all over the Dutch East Indies. When a large number of Dutch troops arrived in Borneo, they all saw the hope of a revolution and gathered here to discuss countermeasures.

Vychensky sat in the middle, as if possessed by Lenin before the October Revolution, and delivered an impassioned revolutionary speech: "Comrades, tell you good news! Comrade Stalin, the great leader of all the Soviets, has called me back and agreed with us to launch an all-East Indian workers' and peasants' uprising! Now that China and the Anglo-Dutch are eating dogs, and the troops are being drawn to Borneo, this is our best chance! Look all around us, the workers are homeless, the peasants don't have their own land, and the colonizers are frantically plundering the property that should belong to the people! At this time, we should take the initiative to stand up and assume the responsibility of the GC ists, just like the Great October Revolution, to overthrow the colonial system and establish the dictatorship of the proletariat in the East Indies. ”

The highly inflammatory words elicited strong applause, and only Marin, who was sitting next to him, frowned secretly. Because he was a follower of Tonotsky, he was unhappy with Vychensky's treatment of Stalin as the only Soviet leader. But he has no time to refute it now, after all, this is a golden opportunity for the East Indies, and he believes that internal contradictions can be reconciled through dialogue, and the most important thing at the moment is to launch a revolution.

Although the two men repeatedly pledged Moscow's solidarity with the East Indian Revolution, the local party members present were worried. Samin, the earliest party member in the East Indies and the initiator of the Samin movement 19 years ago, was exiled to Banda Aceh after his defeat and only recently quietly returned to Batavia with the help of everyone. After so many years of reflection, he understands the importance of the armed forces, so he is very worried about the lack of forces in his hands: "Comrade Marin, Comrade Vychensky. Our strength is too short to defeat the heavily armed colonizers on our own, so should we send someone to contact the Islamic League? ”

Five years ago, the East India GC League and the Islamic League briefly cooperated, but the party's members withdrew from the Islamic League due to the ban on cross-party relations by religious extremists, and the relationship between the two countries has not been very good ever since. The GC League looked down on the extremely closed Islamist League, which also disliked them, but now was the best time to launch the All-East Indian Revolution, and they had to be considered.

Vychensky, however, did not want to contact the ultra-nationalist, narrow-minded Islamic League, saying: "I don't think there is any need to look for them, now we have veterans of the brutal war in the Far East, and a large number of workers and peasants have the support of a large number of workers." Recently, we have also purchased a lot of weapons from Japan, and we already have enough strength. ”

Marin objected, looked him in the eye and said, "I think the opinions of Comrade Vychensky, Comrade Samin and Comrade East India are very important. Although we have a disagreement with the Islamic League, our intention is to expel the colonizers and promote the independence of the East Indian nation. They also have the combatants we need the most, so why not try to defuse them? ”

"Comrade Marin, their thinking is incompatible with GCISM, and it was the wrong decision to let them join."

"For the sake of the national liberation movement, I think that all internal contradictions can be put aside first, and I believe they think so too."

Seeing the two fighting each other, Samin and other local party members were afraid of quarreling, so they came up with another idea: "Then can you contact the Chinese or the Japanese?" They all have a large diaspora here, also oppressed by the colonizers. ”

Marin said: "Comrade Vychensky and I have already made contact with the Chinese Democracy Party, and they are willing to support our independence movement financially, but now that they are confronting the British and Dutch, I am afraid they do not have any extra energy. As for Japan, I think they can join in, but not now. ”

"That's bad. Although the Dutch soldiers all went to reinforce West Borneo, there were still about 1500 soldiers and 800 policemen in Batavia, and the British warships were also outside, and our forces were seriously insufficient. "We have observed that in order to succeed, we need to first attack the fortress and the police station, and occupy the governor's palace, which are all heavily defended places and need more forces to join!" ”

Vychensky also knew the difficulties, and what he could now rely on was the more than 100 veterans who had been evacuated from the Far East with Shumyatsky in those days, and these veterans could guarantee their combat effectiveness, but their numbers were too small. There was a British fleet outside, and there were about 10,000 hostile and gun-armed European and American expatriates inside, so it was really lacking in strength. Marin saw what he was thinking, stood up and said firmly: "Comrade Vychensky, you go and contact the KMT to ask how their negotiations with Batavia are going, and by the way, see if you can get support." I was familiar with the Islamic League, so I went to Surabaya and asked them to put aside their prejudices and join the revolutionary movement. ”

Seeing that he could not say anything, Vychensky had to agree to join the Islamic League if it was willing to abandon its prejudices, and then took out the map of the military defense of Batavia, which had been prepared for a long time, and studied in detail with everyone the steps and time to launch the revolution......
