Chapter 500: Painting Cakes

The news that the British had sent three more divisions to Sumatra, bringing their total strength to 80,000 on the island, which was only more than 400,000 square kilometers, frightened the Sultan of Aceh. To be honest, his resistance is nothing more than for some interests, if he really wants to face the danger of being destroyed, it is inevitable to retreat, and it is not the first time he has done this kind of thing, although he has the support of China behind him, but how much value is he such a small earth king in the eyes of the Chinese, he is still a little sober.

"Do you know why the British are increasing their troops?" His Majesty the Sultan's old friend He Hui said mysteriously.

The Sultan of Aceh hurriedly shook his head, the news of the oil field was suppressed by the British as soon as it began to spread in Singapore, and the People's Radio later selectively ignored it.

"Because they've found a huge oil field in the swamps around Duri, with the potential to produce more than 10 million tons a year, do you know how much it costs?" He Hui said.

The Sultan of Aceh quickly shook his head again.

"Although there are some small differences in the price of crude oil now due to the quality of different oil fields, on average, it is basically 50 yuan a ton, how much is it worth 10 million tons?" He Hui said.

Aceh Sultan was directly stupid, even if he was not good at math, he knew that this was 500 million Chinese dollars, 500 million Chinese dollars a year, this number made him feel like the world was spinning, the reason why he took millions of people to fight with the British was nothing more than for the spice and rubber business of at most 20 million Chinese dollars a year, 500 million Chinese dollars? He even had a feeling of cardiac arrest.

"It's all yours, you Acehnese, but if it falls into the hands of the British, you should know what the result will be, they won't leave you even a little scum, and you want this wealth. You have to work on your own. The people of Gulf Oil can promise that once you kick the British out of Sumatra, and then hand over this oil field to Gulf Oil, the money earned by the two will be divided in half, and if you don't believe it, then the two sides can secretly sign an agreement, and you don't need to doubt the credibility of our Chinese. He Hui said.

The Sultan of Aceh swallowed with difficulty, but he was not a fool, although he was washed away like a small fishing boat in a typhoon by 500 million Chinese dollars a year, he still maintained the last shred of sanity. Knowing that this also means that the British will not give up Sumatra no matter what, even if they continue to increase their troops, they will seize this land, if that is the case, he may not be able to stop it.

"Then join forces! You see that your islands are now basically fighting on their own, so that the British and the Russians can easily break each other, why don't you unite and build a real country? Build an Indonesian federation, an empire or a republic, anyway, you can do it yourself, and then choose an emperor or president. Shouting out the slogan of Indonesia's liberation and national unity, promising some benefits to the common people, makes them a little illusionistic. Provided, of course, that they unite to drive the British out.

There is no difficulty in this point, with our support behind us, the combined population of your islands is now at least 30 or 40 million, and there are at least 10 million people who can fight with guns. Concerted efforts to drive the British out, is that not trivial? He Hui said.

The Sultan of Aceh was immediately moved, and He Hui's meaning was very clear. It is to use the slogan of an Indonesian federation to fool the sultans and common people of the other islands, continue to fight the British resolutely, and even send troops to help him, so that it will be easier to defeat the British by gathering the strength of the islands. As for the defeat of the British, anyway, the oil field is on the island of Sumatra, although there are still a few soil kings here, but the strength cannot be compared with him, that is all raised by the Dutch as pigs, without any combat effectiveness, so no one can snatch this oil field from him, which is actually equivalent to using a big slogan, coaxing others to help him grab the oil field.

To be honest, the slogan of a standing Indonesian federation has indeed begun to be shouted out, especially in recent years, more and more Indonesian young people who have gone to China to study, after returning, most of them are promoting the establishment of a standing Indonesian Republic, and some such organizations have even appeared in Java, and the vast majority of them have participated in this anti-British war. The native kings on the other islands are more or less a little bit of this meaning, after all, although the Dutch raise them as pigs, but they usually bully them, now they just lack a weighty leader, Aceh is the main force in the recent war against the British, if he shouts this slogan again as the Sultan of Aceh, it will definitely be echoed.

Then, just like China, build a federal empire, play with a constitutional monarchy, and make a constitution to hang as a tablet, so that the common people are also happy, and other soil kings have no opinions, at that time, I am afraid that not only the oil fields will make a fortune, but it is not impossible to make a federal emperor of Indonesia.

Looking at the Sultan's leisurely expression, He Hui knew that his task was completed, in fact, at this time, many Indonesian kings began to waver, after all, they were also very empty in their hearts when they watched the British increase their troops one after another. As for those ordinary people, they didn't have much loyalty to the earth kings, and they could still fight bravely under the impact of blood at the beginning, but after the blood flowed into a river, the anger slowly leaked, in the final analysis, even if the colonists were driven away, thinking back to the life under the leadership of the earth kings, it was not necessarily much stronger. Those ordinary people are not stupid, and they don't want to do stupid things that don't make much benefit by fighting their lives, so now it is urgent to get them to regain their courage, and a big pie of the Indonesian Federation will definitely work.

As for the future, even if they defeat the British, I'm afraid they will have to die a million thousand, and then they will show the benefits of the Aceh Sultan to other Sultans, and those guys can stand it! casually provoke the Indonesian civil war to rise, this trick is very high!

The Sultan of Aceh, of course, did not know that he was in fact in the midst of a great conspiracy, and since a bright and splendid tomorrow was already in front of him, there was no need to hesitate at all, and he immediately sent an invitation in the name of the Sultan of Aceh to the princes of the islands, the social elite, and held a secret meeting on Bali, which the British had not yet been able to touch, and formally proposed the joint formation of the Commonwealth of Indonesia.

His proposal was immediately approved by the vast majority of the Turkish kings, and now there is the example of China, such a federal empire and constitutional monarchy have become the most important political template for the colonial people who are striving for freedom, so as to satisfy the interests of the new school and take care of the back path of the old aristocracy, which can be said to be the most reasonable. Soon after some bargaining of interests, the Federal Empire of Indonesia was newly born, and as for the emperor, because there was no parliament or anything like that, it was not determined for the time being, but the principle of fighting resolutely and expelling all colonists was determined.

Immediately afterwards, a declaration signed by the vast majority of the feudal lords of Indonesia was broadcast to the world on the people's radio station and officially issued to the whole world, in which it was pointed out that the Indonesian islands are the sacred territory of the Indonesian people, and no colonists are allowed to touch this land, and for the sake of the country's establishment and national freedom, the Indonesian people will fight bloody battles until all the invaders are driven out of their homeland, and they will fight to the end no matter what the price is paid.

This Bali declaration almost crooked the nose of the British, they never thought that these monkeys would dare to play like this, this is a slap in the face, a slap in the face of the British Empire, when the Netherlands ruled you, one by one, they were honest, and when we British came, you immediately ran out and jumped up and down, showing that you were bullying, although our British Empire is now memorizing, it is not a group of monkeys that can provoke.

The British, who felt humiliated, also completely tore off their hypocritical skins, and the British army, which had been restrained in the means of repression, also let go of their hands and began to kill on the islands, and even the British naval fleet began to bombard all Indonesian cities not under their control, including Banda Aceh, especially Batang, the main city on Bali, which were directly razed by the British naval artillery. Their brutality aroused the hatred of the Indonesian people even more, just like Emperor Yang said, it is always difficult for Muslims to get it, these guys like to take revenge or something, with the double attraction of big slogans and hatred, with the support of a steady stream of Chinese arms, the war against Britain and Russia burned to all Indonesian islands. Even in large cities such as Batavia, which was under British control, there were large-scale attacks against whites, and the British had to increase their troops to Indonesia again and again, and in just a few months, the total number of troops invested in Indonesia exceeded 150,000.

But even so, they are still stretched thin in Indonesia, especially since there are also a large number of Muslims among the soldiers they recruit from India, and these soldiers are not willing to fight against the Indonesian monkeys who are also Muslims, and these Muslim soldiers are actually the main force of the three armies, and those Hindus fighting is a complete joke.

In this way, the British found that the best mercenaries were actually those Japanese who came purely for their livelihood, and these guys who had nothing to do with Muslims did not have the slightest burden to fight, and it was absolutely neat to kill Indonesian monkeys, so hiring Japanese as cannon fodder became the best choice for the British.
