Volume IV Prosperity 41 Ten years sharpen a sword

"Hongmin, how are we doing in the Malay Peninsula? In case the British intervene and come in, does the American Chinese company have any countermeasures? Tunan asked. ////( n)

Meihua Company should be called Meihua Consortium. The investment in the Dutch-Indian region is only half of the investment made by the US-China consortium in Nanyang, and in the Malay Peninsula, Penang, Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, Ipoh, and other big cities controlled by the British, there are also a total of one or two hundred million US dollars in tin, trade, rubber, shipping, finance, and other businesses.

It is only because the United States and China are in the name of American companies, and there is a powerful William consortium behind them, and the British should not act roughly, otherwise their investments in other places will also be retaliated against by the United States and the William consortium.

The William consortium has a good relationship with some local British consortia, so as long as the American Chinese company does not do anything out of the ordinary, the British will not do it. As for the brutal business war, there was one from the very beginning.

"In this regard, we have always been very disciplined and have not allowed the British to seize any tricks. It is said that the British had recently revealed some information to the Dutch and Indian Governors, and it is not known why the Dutch and Indian Governor's Palace was suppressed.

Speaking of which, Van Persie is really greedy. The U.S.-China company once estimated that he may have plundered hundreds of millions of dollars in property during his years in office. In addition to more than half of the country, he also has tens of millions of property in his hands.

Some were deposited in the Chinese Bank of the United States, and many more were deposited in British banks or in Europe. Specifically, we haven't found out, but there must be a lot of treasure in the Governor's Palace that can't be taken away. We'd better not let go of this fat pig. Yao Hongmin said greedily, and said in his heart: Do you want to leave after taking Meihua's money?

"There's no rush to this. No one can take away what should be us, and if we take it, we must obediently return it. Situ Nan smiled lightly, and then ordered, "The main thing is to take defensive measures, once they start, the British will definitely increase the monitoring of the American and Chinese companies, and it is possible to create obstacles." ”

Yao Hongmin nodded. Knowing that after the incident, the British would not be so happy to let the funds of the United States and China want to go directly to the Netherlands and India.

"It's your turn. Lao He. Situ Nan looked at He Wenxiu with some expectation. After so much discussion just now, what really determines the outcome is the grab of the lever.

Call!

He Wenxiu's face narrowed, and he nodded solemnly. He walked over to the big map and introduced, "Medan." Our industrial hub in Sumatra. I won't talk about guns and shipbuilding, but it is certain that we have more supplies than the Dutch. ”

Speaking of this, he paused slightly. The Dutch were preoccupied with plundering the area, and did not develop a decent industry at all. With the exception of North Sumatra, which was centered on Medan and controlled by the Chinese American Company and the Zhi Gong Party, the entire Dutch-Indian region inherited the colonial economic system of the East India Company as always, and the plantation economy developed well, but it had to rely on the guns in hand to get started.

"How does it feel like the American Civil War?" Robles interjected.

"Sort of." Situ Nan smiled faintly and asked, "Can our arsenal in the Philippines transport ammunition supplies from the east to Borneo via the Guò sea route?" ”

"It should work. The Dutch fleet was too limited to blockade vast seas. But they will definitely block Medan.

We have a few more submarines, and it will be much easier to lure them into the predetermined battlefield and sink a few Dutch warships.

The only concern is that Medan is close to the Strait of Malacca, and once a naval battle is fought there, it will cause some trouble for the British Royal Fleet to intervene. ”

He Wenxiu looked at Situ Nan, he was indeed a little jealous of the British, and if the British were dragged in, it would be complicated.

"After defeating the Dutch fleet, will the army be able to control the whole of Sumatra before the British intervene?" Situ Nan asked.

Time is the most critical factor. The scheming British would not have intervened in the war casually, and they had already learned the lessons of the First World War. But if it drags on for a long time, it's hard to say.

"yes. It would have been advantageous if the British could intervene to cause a base on Sumatra and at the same time break the blockade of the Dutch fleet with a naval ambush. Robles said.

"No problem. After many years of operation, we have 50,000 troops and 100,000 trained young men on the island of Sumatra.

If the shape is unfavorable, we can gather 200,000 workers from the Meihua Company and arm them all within three months.

In terms of firepower and intelligence, we are in a good position.

In addition, in Borneo we have 30,000 troops, 80,000 young men. Our regular army is all highly trained and lives in the rainforest all year round, and if the Dutch and Indian troops crash in, I will definitely not let any of them get out. He Wenxiu assured.

In my opinion, it is really unreasonable for the 100,000 troops under his command to be piled up with money if they can't even win the Dutch and indigenous colonial armies.

He smiled again: "Now that the ships of the Nanxing Steamship Company are transferring troops from Hainan and Guangxi, more than 10,000 troops who have passed the test of the Guangdong-Guizhou War have entered our designated positions one after another.

According to the results of our discussions with Guangzhou and Nanning, a total of 30,000 people from the mainland will participate in this battle for the founding of the country. Situ, we are ready, just waiting for you. ”

Speaking of this, He Wenxiu looked at Situ Nan excitedly.

"Hmm. Don't rush yet. Situ Nan silently calculated in his heart, the eleventh strictly trained army, 200,000 militiamen, and hundreds of thousands of young and strong laborers of the Meihua Company almost concentrated the elite strength of the Nanyang Chinese, and it should not be a big problem to defeat the Dutch, even if they can't occupy all the Indonesian islands, it is not a big problem to take Sumatra and Borneo.

"And what about the navy? In addition to the submarine in Medan, I remember that I had a lot of pirates in the first place? Situ Nan asked with a smile.

"Fifteen armed merchant ships, all refueled with rapid-fire guns and machine guns, if you can't match the warships, it should be fine. The Dutch fleet is full of old warships, and if we can't beat them, our ships can run away. However, we are prepared to use these merchant ships to strike at the enemy's transport and supply lines, and to attack Dutch merchant ships by sea in the Java Sea. We have accumulated a lot of experience in this area. ”

He Wenxiu paused, and said: "In addition to the armed merchant ships, we also have three destroyers and five torpedo ships, which were pieced together from Venezuela and other countries. We have not installed weapons before, and now we are installing weapons systems in Fangchenggang, Guangxi. ”

Speaking of this, he frowned slightly, and added with some dissatisfaction: "I got on those ships when I was in Guangxi, and I can run, and under the guidance of those moral officials, our sailors have no problem driving the boat."

Well, many of the crew members were sent from the Southern Star Steamship Company, and they were familiar with the navy in the Malacca area. However, the level of shooting is somewhat bad, and when the time comes, it will be fought at sea, and the situation is not very optimistic. ”

"Can you run?"

Situ Nan smiled when he heard this, "It's good to be able to run." It's okay to miss, but the Dutchman's skills aren't very good? At most, it's a little better than you, and we'll always get it if we shoot a few more shots.

I have good news for you, not long ago, I ordered several US ** ships, all of which are emerging destroyers, and now it is estimated that they have sailed to South America, and you will find a way to take them when you go back. There are only a few naval powers, but they certainly don't include the Netherlands. ”

Hearing Situ Nan say this, He Wenxiu immediately said: "Even if you can't hit, then just drive the boat and hit it, we have many ships, the ships are good, as long as I am not afraid of death, I don't believe that I can't beat the old coachman." ”

Crash ship?

Situ Nan smiled, but he admired He Wenxiu's courage, he slapped his face and said, "Damn, Lao He, you are enough to plant!" As long as those rabbit cubs have such courage, Lao Tzu will have to spend a little more blood and buy a few more warships for them to ram the Dutch. Well, even if it hits, it will crash out of the country! ”

This made everyone not only laugh. Although it was somewhat unrealistic, they sensed Situ Nan's determination.

"What about Java? We have a lot of industries on the island of Java, and in the event of a war, have you thought about evacuating? Situ Nan asked. ??????

"What do you think?" Situ Nan turned to ask Robles.

"I don't think there's a problem. Guaranteed funds will be ready within two months. Robles laughed.

"That's good." Situ Nan nodded.

"By the way, we have been black households for so many years, and this time it has to be like a loud name. You can't call it the US-China Security Team, right? He Wenxiu was anxious to correct the name of his army.

Is the name important?

Situ Nan looked at He Wenxiu's eager appearance, and then remembered that the gang in Nanyang seemed to be really living a nameless life.

"Alright! What do you want to call it? Situ Nan gave the opportunity to name the army to He Wenxiu, who had worked hard.

"How's the South China Independence Army?"

He Wenxiu's name is the same as Situ Nan's, but the meaning is very clear, and Situ Nan immediately agreed.

"What about time?" He asked again.

"At the end of May. Not less than the beginning of June. "The Indonesian archipelago is perennially hot and rainy and spans two hemispheres. The rainy season in the north is concentrated in July, and in the south it is from December to February.

In order to avoid the rainy season, I spent almost two months accepting the war in Sumatra and Borneo. After the capture of Sumatra, we had a three-month rainy season to digest and consolidate the occupied areas and build fortifications. After repairing, and then fight the Dutch, they will definitely pounce from the Javanese side. After Sumatra had eliminated their main force, the rainy season in the south was not far behind. If it goes well, we will go directly across the sea to Java. ”

He Wenxiu said confidently. He had thought about this question countless times, discussed it with the German staff officers in the army, and after many detailed arguments, he decided on this date.

Of course, before that, there were some appetizers, some small actions to distract the attention of the Dutch and Indian authorities, and to distract their main forces.

"I don't know anything about war, so I won't join in. I believe that you will be victorious, and I will go over to celebrate you at that time. ”

Situ Nan nodded. He already felt a strong fighting spirit from He Wenxiu, and he couldn't wait to pounce on the Dutch and Indian Governor's Mansion in Java.

"By the way, we have to find a diplomat with outstanding diplomatic skills and strong bones to deal with the negotiations with the Dutch and the British." Situ Nan said to Gao Wei and Yao Hongmin.

He thought of Gu Weijun for the first time, but immediately shook his head again, feeling that it was unrealistic.

"How is Chen Youren? He's quite capable. Gao Weijian said.

"You know him?" Situ Nan was a little curious. He'd heard of the name, but he wasn't familiar with it.

"Hmm...... He was born in Trinidad, West Indies, and grew up from a similar background. However, the trouble is that he is more close to Sun Wen and closer to those people in Fujian. I got the news that he is currently in Shanghai, and it seems that he is running a newspaper, and he is a little idle. ”

Gao Wei said. He knew that the Zhi Gong Party was very wary of Sun Wen and his party, especially in Liangguang, and also robbed Sun Wen's revolutionary base area. Although there was no war between the two sides, the relationship between them was not much better.

"Idle?" Situ Nan was stunned for a moment, and immediately laughed again. Without Liangguang, Sun Wen's gang is really idle.

"Chen Youren was born in a foreign country and has a Chinese heart, so he should be able to strongly understand our feelings, and such talents are worth fighting for. As for the issue of Nanyang, he is in agreement with us. ”

Gao Weidao seems to be quite confident. He had already thought of a good candidate to convince Chen Youren.

"Just him! No, let Wu Chaoshu go up. "Situ Nandao. I thought: It's a big deal to let Chen Youren be a temporary worker, if he can't fit into the circle of the Zhi Gong Party.

After some discussion, Situ Nan was generally relieved about Nanyang's actions. It has been ten years since I came to this world in 1912, and the affairs of Nanyang have been prepared for seven or eight years, and everything that should be done has been done, and it is time to blossom and bear fruit. Taking advantage of the attention of the great powers on the Washington Naval Treaty, He Wenxiu's sudden attack in the South China Sea must have had a surprise effect.

"Ten years of sharpening a sword, now there is no shortage of money, no shortage of people, no shortage of weapons and ammunition, is it to continue the humiliation of this nation or to open up the territory and create a new glory of the sky? I am watching you, the people of the mainland are watching you, and the whole world is about to watch you. Success is not allowed to fail! ”

Situ Nan stood up excitedly and toasted with He Wenxiu.

"Success is allowed, not failure!" He Wenxiu stood up excitedly and roared angrily, and even Robles, who was sitting on the side, was infected by their blood.

The gathering in New York, although it is short, is very significant, and an emerging force is about to stand on the international stage and surprise the world.

After the meeting, Yao Hongmin stayed behind to discuss the issue of military financing with Robles, and Gao Wei received talents trained by the Zhi Gong Dang in various parts of the United States and brought them back to Nanyang.

And the two most important people, He Wenxiu, returned to California with Situ Nan, ready to receive pilots and planes, as well as several important warships.

In addition to the establishment of the South China state, the two also discussed some more rigorous matters, which are unknown to outsiders.
