Chapter 350: Dutch Feast

The Dutch governor in Indonesia, Peterson, has been a bit annoyed lately.

Four months ago, after the local high-level officials in Europe secretly set the tone for purging the Chinese forces in Indonesia, he has been preparing for this goal for the past four months. However, at the last moment, the Dutch government sent a telegram telling him to stop the operation.

The reason for the stop, ostensibly was that things were leaked.

As early as November, "rumors" in Indonesia that the Dutch government was preparing to incite the local indigenous people to launch anti-Chinese riots began to spread everywhere, and then the local Chinese, under the arrangement of the new Chinese government, evacuated Indonesia in large numbers and returned to China, among which Java, which has the largest number of Chinese, was the most strict. In the past month, nearly 100,000 Chinese have left Indonesia.

Not only that, the new Chinese government has also sent many telegrams to the Dutch government to inquire about relevant matters. Of course, the Dutch government refused to admit it, saying that this was just a rumor, claiming that the Dutch government would do its best to ensure the safety of the lives and property of the local Chinese.

But the Chinese did not believe it at all, and under their encouragement, the local Chinese continued to leave. The Chinese who were temporarily stranded in the local area, under the instigation of well-intentioned people, also began to secretly connect and organize. In the past month, all kinds of "fitness groups" have been born in Chinese residential areas across Indonesia, and their members are all elite young people. On the surface, their slogan is "develop sports and enhance the people's physique," but in fact they are organized in the "name of fitness."

In Indonesia, what the Dutch colonists feared most was the local Chinese organizing. And this situation, since the martial arts competition staged by the Chinese named Lin Han in San Francisco many years ago, has begun to appear in overseas Chinese residential areas around the world. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the situation became even stricter. The main reason why the Dutch government wants to take this big risk and prepare to use the knife of the local indigenous people to cleanse the Chinese in Indonesia. It is also to see that the local Chinese are becoming more and more organized, and smell out the danger behind it.

The Dutch government is not a fool, they have long seen that behind these Chinese groups, there is clearly standing New China, and the figure of the Chinese god named Lin Han.

December 6th. Dutch Governor Petersun was looking angrily at a Chinese pamphlet in his hand. This booklet has appeared in large numbers in various parts of Indonesia in the past week, and the contents of the booklet are extremely detailed records of the cases, causes, and consequences of the "Chinese exclusion" incidents that have occurred in Southeast Asia over the past 200 years, as well as the real culprits and instigators behind the scenes. Governor Peterson read the translated pamphlet, which sharply pointed out that the colonial governments of various countries were behind the anti-Chinese incident, and bluntly pointed out that the Dutch colonial government was the biggest behind the new round of anti-Chinese frenzy that was "about to be" staged in Indonesia.

The booklet is not a shoddy work. Rather, it was printed on a special printing press, and the paper and printing quality were very good, and it was obvious that this was an organized and purposeful action, and the power of this organization was so powerful that the Dutch government was afraid.

In the Manchu era, the exclusion of Chinese and the slaughter of local Chinese by the hands of the aborigines were used. Dutch, Spaniards. Just do it, don't care at all. But times are different now, and the Netherlands itself is trembling under the threat of the German armored iron cavalry, a "member of the socialist family". Along with the anti-Chinese "rumors", the Chinese side raised questions, and although the German side was silently "pretending to be stupid", the Dutch themselves were afraid first.

The other day in Amsterdam. Some members of the National Assembly have openly questioned the "dangerous game" played by the top levels of the government, and have demanded that this dangerous provocation be stopped immediately and that the matter be thoroughly investigated. And the high-level officials have made a high-profile move to evacuate overseas Chinese when the news is leaked, and the more they think about it, the more afraid they become. Not only did the official unanimously deny this, but more than once an urgent telegram was sent demanding that the Dutch Governor's Office immediately stop the original plan.

Although the Dutch officials have come forward to "endorse" the matter and make many "guarantees", they have very quickly welcomed the briefing of the joint naval exercises conducted by the Soviet Union and Germany in Iceland. Although the general view in Europe was that the Soviet-German joint exercise was a demonstration against Britain and the United States, the Dutch, who had a ghost in their hearts, were also frightened when such a thing happened at this juncture, so from 1 December, the Governor's Office received a telegram from Amsterdam one plus one, full of inquiries and how the "termination" of the anti-Chinese action had been done.

In the past week, Peterson, the governor, has been "watering" the "anti-Chinese" fires that had "accidentally" burned in the early stage. But things didn't go the way he had predicted. "Rumors" continue and continue to spread, and such extremely dangerous "pamphlets" have appeared. Encouraged by this pamphlet, most of the Chinese people in Indonesia organized themselves to "form associations to protect themselves."

In Jakarta alone, there are more than 20 well-documented Chinese associations, and this is still a "big association" with more than 100 people, and as for the 20 or so, the so-called "fitness team" of more than a dozen people is too many to count. These organized overseas Chinese, every household has prepared hard long wooden sticks, and the tips of these long wooden sticks have been specially transformed, and they can be directly loaded with gun heads to become "shuttle darts".

Although it was only a primitive weapon such as a wooden stick and a pike, Governor Peterson did not believe that once the matter started, these overseas Chinese who participated in the Chinese Liberation War in 1935~1936 would really only take primitive weapons to the streets. In the past few years, intelligence from various parties has shown that a large number of Chinese from China who have experience in the war are entering Indonesia in large numbers as immigrants.

The two young men who are now commanding the gathering of the Chinese in Jakarta had returned to China in 1935 to participate in the revolution and had been to Spain since 1937. There are still many Chinese in Jakarta who have had the same experience, and now almost all of them are leaders of Chinese organizations in the city.

Governor Peterson did not have the idea of arresting these leading dangerous elements, but now that the Dutch mainland in Europe was trembling in front of the German armored iron cavalry, and the Indonesian region was also full of strange and tense atmosphere, Governor Peterson did not want to cause more trouble at this juncture unless it was absolutely necessary.

If it was just Chinese, several Japanese expatriates living in Jakarta also organized and armed during this time. Last month, hundreds of smuggled Japanese-style rifles were accidentally found, and every piece of evidence pointed directly at the Japanese. In recent days, there has been news from all over the world that the British are also secretly making trouble in Indonesia, instigating the local aborigines to rise up and carry out actions against the Chinese.

They guessed the beginning, but not the consequences.

The thought of the-stirring sticks of Europe and the hungry Japanese wolves were also involved in this. Today's Dutch people are filled with remorse.

Although the Chinese and the colonial government in Jakarta are currently "at peace" with each other, the smell of mountain rain and wind filling the buildings can be smelled by even the dullest people.

At four o'clock in the afternoon of December 6, Governor Peterson met with the person he wanted to meet at his governor's palace, a young man named Wang Dong, one of the leaders of the local Chinese community.

This young man named Wang Dong had heard of him from time to time in the past year, but at that time, one side was the governor of Dutch Hodenesia, and the other side was only a small leader of the Chinese community. The difference in status between the two sides is too great, even if Wang Dong stands in front of him, Governor Peterson will not take a second look.

But now, he is such a "little man", but he is leading the Chinese in Jakarta, bringing great pressure and trouble to him and the entire Dutch government.

When he saw Wang Dong for the first time, Governor Peterson was stunned for a moment, and the other party was young. More than he could have imagined. Governor Peterson, who was sitting at the oak table, couldn't help but flip through the intelligence information about this man in his hand.

"Wang Dong. Born in Jakarta in 1913, the second generation of Chinese immigrants. In 1933, he went to Germany to study, returned to China in 1934 to participate in the Bolshevik Revolution, went to Spain in 1937 to participate in the international column, and returned to Jakarta before the outbreak of the European war in January 1939. In particular, there is a tandem movement among young people"

A glance at his profile revealed that the young man was a dangerous "rebel professional." He knew he had an older brother who was two years older than him to act with him. Today, the governor had called the two brothers together to talk, but now only his younger brother Wang Dong appeared in front of him.

"Young and innocent hairy boy"

Wang Dong's youth made the governor feel very headache. He knew that young people at this age were mostly hot-blooded and impulsive. It is a headache to deal with this kind of young people who are unwilling to compromise until the end of the day.

Governor Peterson couldn't help but think of the new Chinese representative in Jakarta he had met a few days earlier. At that time, the Governor-General, on behalf of the Dutch government, expressed "goodwill" to the Chinese side and repeatedly stated that the "anti-Chinese" was just a rumor, but the Chinese people said in person that they would do their best to appease the local overseas Chinese. However, as soon as the governor left, within a few days it was rumored that this was a suspicious tactic of the Dutch, and not to believe the words of the white-skinned devils, and then the pamphlet, which the governor considered extremely dangerous, about the records of the anti-Chinese movement in Southeast Asia in history, became even more popular in Jakarta.

After meeting with the Chinese representatives, the number of local Chinese fleeing with their families and children has not decreased, but has increased.

The Dutch colonial government was similar to the colonial governments of other countries, all of which regarded the overseas Chinese as sheep in the pen, and from time to time they launched anti-Chinese campaigns to purge the local overseas Chinese and plunder their wealth, and by the way diverted local contradictions. But these evil colonizers didn't really want to exterminate the local Chinese - the main reason is that in Southeast Asia, whether it is the local indigenous people, or immigrants from India and the Arabian Peninsula, most of them are surprisingly lazy to create too much value for them to squeeze. And the hard-working Chinese really can't find a better target for squeezing than them.

As a result, this time the Dutch wanted to reduce their wool, but the news was not secret, and the "flock" left in large numbers before the operation, how could Governor Peterson not be in a hurry. Governor Peterson originally thought that this was the Chinese provoking trouble, but the news he got from the civil department in the past few days was that the local Chinese middle class was currently selling off a large number of assets, and what made Governor Peterson feel even more big was that the fixed assets sold and a large number of receivers were all from the Japanese side of the Lan people who wanted to reduce their qualifications. Dozens of Governor Peterson's favored farms, belonging to the Chinese middle class, had originally wanted to take advantage of the anti-Chinese movement, but all of them changed hands in a lightning flash in the past few days, and the buyers were all Japanese.

The Japanese have the second most powerful navy in the world in terms of tonnage, and they are allies with the British, who once covered the Dutch, and it is much more troublesome to deal with them than against the Chinese.

Speaking of the Japanese. Governor Peterson couldn't help but think of the smuggling rifles from Japan seized at the end of last month, and one head really became two big. Judging from the current situation, it is clear that a certain tacit understanding has been reached between China and Japan, and Governor Peterson has already sniffed out the strong smell of conspiracy hidden behind this.

"Actually, we shouldn't have done this in the first place"

Governor Peterson thought regretfully, but in front of Wang Dong. He still put the governor's shelf full,

Peterson compared the photo and asked, "Are you Wang Dong?" ”

"Exactly?"

Peterson frowned and said, "Why didn't your brother come with him?" ”

Wang Dong replied a little arrogantly: "If you come together, I'm afraid you won't be able to leave together." ”

Peterson was slightly angry in his heart, and said coldly: "As long as you abide by the laws here, the empire will protect the law-abiding citizens." ”

"Citizens?"

Wang Dong had a mocking expression on his face.

"When did you treat us as citizens? Isn't it a yellow-skinned monkey walking upright? ”

From the very beginning, the governor and the local Chinese leaders were caught in a sharp-for-tat conflict.

Peterson frowned, and he couldn't help but think of a conversation he had with someone from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs not long ago, when the diplomat who was negotiating with the Chinese side. After the fact, he complained to him that the biggest difference between the current Chinese and the Republic of China or the Manchu Qing Dynasty is that their brains are as stubborn as granite, they do not know what concessions and compromises are, and it is almost impossible to make them back down in diplomatic negotiations.

In the past 100 years, European and American countries have arbitrarily bullied old China, and they have long developed in the hearts of these robbers the arrogance of thinking that they are superior. So much so that when dealing with the diplomats of New China, I suddenly encountered these new generation of diplomats with strong nationalist ideas. It's extremely uncomfortable.

However, Wang Dong, who negotiated with him this time, is indeed not a person suitable for carrying out diplomatic negotiations. Unlike his brother Wang An, who knew how to compromise with moderation, Wang Dong was more strictly influenced by Lin Han. He took Lin Han as his idol, liked Lin Han's words full of nationalist thoughts, and believed in the "famous words" he shouted by stealing the chairman's words: seek peace through struggle, and live in peace; Compromise for peace. then peace dies.

After a few seconds of cold fighting between the two sides, Peterson threatened: "I called you here this time to formally present an ultimatum to you in my capacity as the governor, and you Chinese have recently formed various community organizations in Jakarta." It has already affected the social peace here, so we ask you to dissolve these societies immediately! ”

Wang Dong said mockingly: "After these societies are disbanded, will it be convenient for the local Javanese to slaughter us again as they did in the past?" ”

Peterson forced himself seriously: "Don't talk nonsense! The Empire has issued a statement that it will guarantee the safety of every law-abiding citizen here. Your act of forming a society has seriously affected the law and order here."

Wang Dong interrupted him: "October 17th, two o'clock in the afternoon, Your Excellency the Governor, do you remember this day? ”

"October 17th? What's up? ”

Peterson was stunned, unable to understand.

Wang Dong reminded him: "On October 17, Your Excellency the Governor-General, you are here to meet with the special envoy of the Japanese office in Jakarta, Mr. Fumikazu Kawaguchi."

Peterson's face changed, and now he remembered that when he made an appointment with the Japanese envoy to discuss with the Japanese the topic of purging the Chinese here, he wanted to obtain the support of the Japanese on behalf of the Dutch side, and afterwards the Japanese side also expressed its support.

"So, please stop acting, Your Excellency the Governor! Please leave yourself one last bit of decency"

The king bowed deeply to Peterson respectfully, and made a gesture of pleading. But in Peterson's eyes, it was like a slap in the face.

"You don't like the Chinese, and you have never regarded the hundreds of thousands of Chinese here as "citizens". Therefore, after we got the news, we started the evacuation operation as soon as possible. The so-called God's to God, Satan's to Satan, you don't like us, we can't run away by ourselves? ”

As he spoke, Wang Dong handed Governor Peterson a copy of the paper, which had been translated into Dutch.

"This is the timetable for the full evacuation of Chinese expatriates from Indonesia in the coming month. Sumatra and Java will be the first to begin evacuation operations. As long as the Chinese are willing to leave, they will not be here again in a month. As for the local Chinese community problem that you are worried about, it will also disappear automatically after a month. ”

Shortly after the king walked out of the gates of the Governor's Palace, Governor Peterson angrily smashed a vase in the room.

But the Doge's anger and annoyance had only just begun.

At six o'clock in the evening, when Governor Peterson called his men from the security services. Reflecting on who leaked the contents of that day's conversation, his secretary sent an urgent telegram.

Upon glancing at the telegram, Governor Peterson's face turned pale, and the telegram slipped from his fingertips and fell to the ground.

"I see! The person who leaked this to the yellow-skinned monkey was actually Japanese. And the British! Damn, we were deceived, we were betrayed! ”

Because of the time difference, the time difference between Jakarta and Western Europe is about eight to nine hours. It's six o'clock in the evening here in Jakarta, and it's just morning in Western Europe, which is halfway around the world.

Just this morning, the Times, which was sold in London, England, published a big news that caused a sensation throughout Europe. The content of the message talks about one day in October this year, the Dutch side secretly contacted the British to discuss the topic of "cleaning up Chinese expatriates" in Dutch Indonesia. The newspaper wrote a whole page of the Dutchman's carefully planned program of action to purge the Chinese and overseas Chinese, and added fuel and vinegar to what the Netherlands had thought of, said, did not expect, and did not say, whether there was or not, and then appeared on the front page of the Times with great pride.

And the article is published. The means that the Dutch were prepared to use against the Chinese diaspora is anyone's sight. will be associated with "evil" and "sin".

Although two years ago, during the Sino-British War, the British took the opportunity to carry out anti-Chinese activities in East and West Malaya, but two years later, when the Dutch wanted to do the same, the British pretended to be righteous and awe-inspiring and stood up to criticize the Dutch.

At the end of the article. The British pretended to state that out of humanitarian considerations, we secretly revealed to China the frenzied actions that the Netherlands was preparing to make, which is why the Chinese side carried out a large-scale evacuation operation in Dutch Indonesia for more than a month.

This article is published as soon as it is published. Soon the telegram spread all over the world, and public opinion in Europe and the United States was in an uproar. Although it is said that the capitalist countries in the 40s of the 20th century are still engaged in blood-stained colonization and plundering activities all over the world, there are some things that can be done but cannot be said to be unrecognized, and the face of the "white gentleman" is still needed. However, the British openly slapped their faces in the face, and suddenly the Dutch government was brushed to the point of no place to be ashamed.

Due to the time difference, it was already afternoon in Indonesia when the British reported the incident in the morning through the newspapers. Wang Dong ran to the Governor to expose the matter, purely out of his personal bad taste, and wanted to take advantage of the time difference to slap Governor Peterson in the face one last time before Governor Peterson knew the truth.

On 7 December, Japan's Tokyo side also published a front-page article similar to that of the British, acknowledging that the Dutch had contacted the Japanese side not long ago to discuss the topic of large-scale anti-Chinese purging of Chinese in Southeast Asia. Then the Japanese, like the British, claimed to be civilized, and they rejected the conspiracy to act as a "butcher" for the Dutch, and soon passed this information on to China, and also took advantage of this incident to dress themselves up and take the opportunity to stand on the moral high ground.

In this process, the Dutch, as the villain, were accused of being incomplete. After the news came out, not only the whole world was in an uproar, but even the Netherlands was in chaos.

For Britain and Japan, by revealing this matter to the media, they successfully dressed up the Dutch as evil villains, and then as long as they waited for another opportunity, the two countries could fully "take over" the Dutch colonies as "messengers of justice" and under the banner of "protecting life and safety".

A feast of Dutch feasts is about to begin in Southeast Asia.
