Chapter 496: The Virtuous Circle of War

"Sue those sultans, the kings of the land, just say that we resolutely support them in their struggle for independence and freedom, and if we can't do it, we can even blow the wind to them, and tell them that China may join the allies in the future." Yang Feng said to his father-in-law, Ye Anping.

Of course, those monkeys in Indonesia cannot dare to stand up against the colonizers without backing, for China, where overseas Chinese are all over Southeast Asia, it is too easy to fool these guys through some secret channels, and compared to those Europeans who worry about their conversion every day, the Chinese who never care about this issue are also more popular with these Muslims, especially Yang Feng's relationship with the boss of the Muslim world, which is well known through the propaganda of Guò People's Radio.

"These Muslims are very difficult to do, so we must take this opportunity to let the British and Russians help us kill as many as possible, don't they like to fight? Then fully support them to fight. Emperor Yang continued.

"However, these earth kings are not wealthy, and they have limited funds in their hands, so it is difficult to buy too many weapons." Ye Anping said.

"There's no need to think about this problem, give it to them as long as they need it, don't care if it's money or not." Yang Feng waved his hand and said, there is really no need to consider this problem, as long as those monkeys can kill each other, this investment is not worth mentioning.

With Emperor Yang's instructions, Ye Anping then went hand and foot open, and a boatload of submachine guns, grenades, grenadiers, and mortars were continuously sent to Aceh and Yogyakarta, these sultans, of course, not through guò formal channels, but in the form of smuggling, arms smuggling personally presided over by the father-in-law, the marquis, and the lifelong members of the House of Lords, even if Britain and Russia knew it, there was nothing to be done, this old guy is currently the largest arms dealer in Southeast Asia. And it was a monopoly, including the British and the Russians themselves, who actually bought weapons from him, especially the key weapon of poison gas bombs.

If they offend him, they will not say or sell it when the time comes, but they will have to make Britain and Russia suffer a lot of pain even if they simply raise the price, and their colonial army will not be supplied at home at all, and can only buy weapons and ammunition from China, and it is also in the form of smuggling, although Chinese private arms dealers have. But who would dare to snatch food from the hands of the grandfather? Don't want to die?

At the same time, the People's Radio also sneered at the British and Russian military actions from time to time, anyway, freedom of speech, what they like to say, no one can interfere with this kind of public opinion, as long as Yang Feng does not directly intervene, Britain and Russia are already very satisfied. But in the eyes of those monkeys, it is different, everyone knows that the boss of People's Radio is Yang Feng, since People's Radio supports them. That must be Emperor Yang's support, and then some gossip about China's possible entry into the Allies will be circulated among those overseas Chinese, and those sultans and princes will be even more ambitious.

"China is a democracy, do you know what a democracy is? It is the people who have the final say. See this thing in my hand? This is called a voter card, and all adult men and women in the Chinese have this thing, whether they join the Allied State or the Entente Countries, this emperor does not count. It has to be said by the parliament, how did those members of parliament become members? We vote for them, and we let them be them. If we let them go, they have to step down, understand what that means? ”

In the Aceh royal palace in Banda Aceh, He Hui, a famous local overseas Chinese businessman, waved his voter card and said to the Sultan of Aceh, who looked dazed.

"This means that whether to join the Entente to declare war on the Germans, or to join the Allies to start a war against the British and the Russians, it is up to us to decide, we have known each other for more than 20 years, who do you think I will help? Now you know the Chinese in Aceh, how many people fought side by side with you when they were against the Dutch, and who do you think these people will help? He Hui immediately explained.

With his explanation, the Sultan of Aceh was completely relieved, in fact, he was not afraid of fighting, but he had to fight a battle with a head, and a battle without a head would be pure suicide. His Majesty the Sultan had fought with the Dutch a few years ago, and in the end the Dutch was beaten up, but he knew very well what the outcome of this war would be if there was no one behind him.

Now with the support of the Chinese behind the scenes, it is completely different, that is, the king of the earth like him also knows very well that now in the East, there is no stronger country than China, with the support of the Chinese, that is, it is a steady win and not a loss, the result is nothing more than the death and injury of some people, the millions of people in Aceh, for the sake of freedom to die hundreds of thousands is not worth mentioning at all, anyway, no matter how many deaths, it is impossible for the Sultan's turn to die, as for how many peasants die, it is not at all within the scope of the Sultan's Majesty.

But the dead don't care, and the money needs to be cared about very much.

"You don't need to think about money, we have been friends for decades, can we still lose you? We overseas Chinese are collecting donations for you in China, of course, fundraising alone is definitely not enough, I have the easiest way here, anyway, now Aceh and the British, the Dutch, the French and other Europeans have broken up, you take back the land in their hands directly, and then sell it to our Chinese merchants, so that the money will not be there? Anyway, we Chinese businessmen bought and built rubber plantations, and in the end we had to use your people to tap rubber, pay taxes to you, and develop the economy of Aceh. He Hui said boldly.

Of course, Ye Anping will not really help these monkeys for free, before the vast majority of Indonesian rubber plantations were controlled by European businessmen, Chinese businessmen have been staring at it for a long time, take advantage of the current time to get your hands first, although Ye Anping knows that in the end this land must also be Chinese, but the problem is that in the future, you have to face domestic competition, at this time, buy it at a low price from the Acehnese people, and it will be too late for other domestic businessmen to think about it later.

This trick did solve the financial problem of the Acehnese, and then the Aceh Sultan was even more resolute when dealing with the European colonizers, and the original European merchants, whether they were allies, Entente countries, or even neutral countries, were all directly nationalized. It was then secretly sold to Chinese merchants who were interested in buying it, in exchange for a large sum of money, and then purchased various arms from China to arm more peasants to fight against the British. Soon their approach spread to Java, and the Sultan of Yogyakarta immediately copied this approach, and as for the anti-Russian struggle in Sulawesi and the Maluku Islands, it was supported by the fox hiding in Medan, this guy had been awarded the rank of marshal by William because of his old qualifications, and even his marshal uniform was sent by a Chinese merchant ship.

In the past two years, with his cunning mind and a steady stream of Chinese munitions, coupled with the support of the Philippine monkeys, he built the island of Medan like an iron bucket, and even the German army led hundreds of thousands of monkeys to defend the island. Not only did he repel the two Russian landings, but with his small fleet and Yang Feng's large number of torpedoes supporting him, he firmly controlled the sea control of the Bohol Sea, and even sank an old Russian battleship. Then, relying on the rubber from the island of Mindan, they continued to buy arms from China, and then sent them to the monkey guerrillas on the islands of Cebu, Negros, and Wright through Guò Howa, so that they could continue to contain the main forces of the Russian army.

Now it's just the addition of Indonesian monkeys, and the rubber plantation in Medan is enough to support it, and he only needs to pay, including transportation, and he doesn't need to be responsible for transportation.

In this way, Yang Feng's chain of support for the Indonesian monkeys has been perfected, and then it is the turn to strengthen the will of Britain and Russia to continue the war, after all, if the cost of conquering these places is too high, Britain and Russia, which have now been overwhelmed by the war, are not without the possibility of giving in to the monkeys, and the cost must be considered for everything, Indonesia is not a place for them to fight, the only important value is rubber and spices, but these two places in Malaya, Myanmar, and Siam also have.

In addition, there seem to be a few oil wells in northern Sumatra, which were discovered by the Dutch oil company in the nineties of the last century, but the production is not high, and it is not worth mentioning in front of the vast oil fields around the Middle East and the Gulf of Mexico, and the real most important oil producing area in Southeast Asia is in Sarawak, Brunei, which has long belonged to the British, and the first oil well was originally drilled in 1912 in history, and now it is certainly not possible to sue the British in advance.

But there is another place in Sarawak, which is the marshy area of central Sumatra, where the Minas oil field, which was discovered only in the 40s, is not only a large oil field, but also a high-quality low-sulfur oil field.

Oil is enough to make people crazy, if you let the British know that there is a huge oil field on this new colony they have just arrived, they will not give up no matter what, and then it will be nothing more than recruiting mercenaries from Ah San, buying arms from China, and it is very simple to arm hundreds of thousands of Ah San, and those Ah San have been domesticated for two hundred years, and the British can rest assured of them, although they can't fight a war, they can make up for it with numbers!

500,000 Afghan troops were crammed into Sumatra, and the Acehnese could fight and push again.

As for the Russians, don't worry about it, as long as these woolly bears have meat, they will not let go of it no matter what, and although Sulawesi and the Maluku Islands have fewer resources, the problem is that the cloves, nutmeg and other things there are also good things, especially the Maluku Islands, which are the real spice islands.

Although spices have fallen off the altar at this time, and even Chinese-made refrigerators are sold all over the world, some types still belong to luxury goods, especially China, which is an increasingly large luxury market, and the annual profit is also very considerable. (To be continued......)
