"See Your Majesty!" After Wang Yuze entered the study, Foreign Minister Wu Tingfang and Chief of Guard Wu Hao hurriedly saluted.
"Master Wu, what's going on?" Wang Yuze asked. He knew that if it wasn't for something particularly urgent, Wu Tingfang would not have come to see him overnight.
"Your Majesty, something happened in Nanyang! The Indonesian natives in Surabaya have rioted and are massacring the Chinese! The Consulate General has already lodged a protest with the Governor General of Indonesia, but with the efficiency of the Dutch, I am afraid it will not be too effective. The consulate in Surabaya has already begun to rescue the local Chinese. It's just that the strength of the consulate is limited, and the current situation is very critical! Wu Tingfang said.
"Surabaya Indonesian indigenous riots? How so? Have you asked the MIA? Did someone from the MIA orchestra plan it? Wang Yuze's eyes also widened, and the sleepiness on his face disappeared without a trace at this moment!
"Nope! But if the MIA had acted earlier, they wouldn't have gone unnoticed! Wu Tingfang said.
"Chief of Guard, immediately invite the Prime Minister, the Chief of the General Staff, the Minister of War, the Secretary of the Navy, the Secretary of Defense, and the Director of Military Intelligence to the Imperial Palace!" Wang Yuze said. It doesn't matter whether the riots were planned by the Chinese side or happened naturally. The first thing to do is to protect the Chinese in Nanyang, and in addition, to find an opportunity to implement the established strategy of the empire.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Wu Hao, the chief of the guard, bowed, turned around and went down to order.
At 12 o'clock in the middle of the night, the prime minister and the military giants rushed to the palace. On the way here, they had already learned about it. But. Most people thought that the Military Intelligence Agency had acted in advance, but only General Wei Zhiyong, director of the Military Intelligence Bureau, was a little puzzled. This time, the operation in Nanyang was led by the Military Intelligence Agency. However, the people sent by the Military Intelligence Agency have just arrived in Nanyang! It is impossible to plan a riot right away. After receiving the news, Admiral Wei Zhiyong contacted Nanyang as soon as possible. Get a look affirmative reply. This time, the Indonesian indigenous riot was not planned by the military intelligence agency.
"Director Wei? What was the rebellion in Nanyang? Was it planned by the Military Intelligence Agency? Wang Yuze asked.
"Back to His Majesty, the minister has already contacted the Nanyang side. The people we sent have just arrived in Surabaya and are still making preparations. This time there was an Indonesian indigenous riot. We didn't plan it. Admiral Wei Zhiyong said.
"Since it was not planned by the Military Intelligence Agency, it seems that this incident was nothing more than an accident. However, it caught us off guard! Wang Yuze said a little depressed. This undoubtedly disrupted the plans of the Chinese side, and at the same time. In the case of not being prepared, the Chinese in the Nanyang region will definitely pay greater losses!
"Your Majesty, we should now find a way to rescue the Chinese in Nanyang. There are tens of thousands of Indonesian natives who participated in the riots! This will cause great harm to the Chinese in and around Surabaya! Prime Minister Yang Hua said. As the empire became stronger, the empire became more important to the overseas Chinese. It is also a growing concern.
"Prime Minister, the Dutch will not allow us to enter Indonesia. Indonesian Governor Johannes Benedict has ordered the Dutch garrison in Indonesia to quell the unrest. If we enter Indonesia without permission, it will cause serious international disputes! Foreign Minister Ng Dinh Fong said.
"I can't care so much! When will our troops be able to go to Indonesia at the earliest? Wang Yuze asked.
"陛xià. Our garrisons in the South Seas, mainly the Ninth Army of the Army and the Indian Ocean Fleet! If the army were to be sent into Java, it would take two days. Chief of the General Staff Xiong Wu replied. After all, the army has to make preparations unless it is in advance. At the same time, it is necessary to mobilize transport ships and then travel to Indonesia from the sea. It takes time!
"We are in the waters near the island of Java, what warships are there? Send these ships over at once. Surabaya is right by the sea, and if the situation is critical, you can use naval artillery to bombard those Indonesian natives! Wang Yuze said.
"Your Majesty, the closest thing to Surabaya now is the destroyer 'Xiaoshan', they just transported a batch of weapons for the CIA people in Surabaya, and now it is in the Java Sea. If you rush to full speed, it will only take three hours. In addition, the light cruiser "Yeosu" and the heavy cruiser "Fuchunjiang" are also in the Makassar Strait, and they can rush to Surabaya tomorrow morning! Navy Minister Zhang Cheng said.
"In this way, order them to rush to Surabaya at once and provide fire support to the Surabaya consulate! The Indonesian natives are unarmed, and we have just transported a batch of weapons to the past, and with the support of the local Chinese, we should be able to hold on! At the same time, the warships near the South Seas were ordered to rush to Indonesia. Not only Surabaya, but also other places. The riots of the indigenous Indonesians are likely to spread from Surabaya to the whole of Indonesia! Wang Yuze advised. The indigenous Indonesian riots in Surabaya are nothing more than a spark. In the case of the relatively oppressed indigenous people of Indonesia, it is very likely to erupt like a volcano.
"Your Majesty, will our large-scale dispatch of warships to Indonesia intensify the contradictions between us and the Netherlands?" Wu Tingfang asked.
"Don't worry, the Dutch only have a few old warships in Indonesia, and we will go in the name of protecting the overseas Chinese, and if they dare to obstruct them, then sink them. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs informed the Dutch ambassador to China tomorrow morning, urging them to do everything possible to resolve Indonesia's troubles. If they can't control the situation, then we are the only ones who can help them! Wang Yuze said.
"Okay, Your Majesty, I'll make an appointment to meet the Dutch ambassador to China tomorrow morning!" Wu Tingfang said. He knew that both the military and Wang Yuze wanted to swallow Indonesia, and this riot in Indonesia undoubtedly gave China an excellent excuse. As long as the squadron landed on the Indonesian archipelago, and the Dutch wanted to drive the Chinese away, it would be completely impossible!
"Your Majesty, what should we do with those Indonesian natives?" Prime Minister Yang Hua asked. Indonesia has a large population of 30 million people!
"Those natives, they are too lazy to eat, it's useless for us to keep them, let's purify them as much as possible in the process of quelling the chaos!" Wang Yuze said lightly. As if the roots of the 30 million Indonesian natives don't matter!
After everyone heard Wang Yuze's bland words, their hearts were a little hairy. Thirty million people! Wang Yuze decided the fate of these people without blinking his eyes, which really shocked everyone. Although China's policy has always been to emphasize the dominance of the Chinese nation in the empire, everyone else is a foreign race. The status in the empire is very low. For example, in Central South Province, there are still tens of millions of indigenous people hiding in the deep mountains and old forests, and they are not recognized by the empire. However, although such a policy is cruel to those foreign races, it protects the interests of Chinese to the greatest extent. At the same time, the national self-esteem and self-confidence of the Chinese have also improved a lot. Wang Yuze does not want the phenomenon of foreigners being first-class citizens, bureaucrats being second-class citizens, rich people being third-class citizens, and other people being fart citizens in China in the future. He hoped that all Chinese would be able to form the understanding that the Chinese nation is the best nation in the world!
"Your Majesty, I think that there are some things that can be done without our own army, but by the Japanese and Koreans. Anyway, the role of us in raising them is to let them carry the black pot for the empire! War Minister Cai Yunti said.
"Hmmm! Can be considered! In the event of a peaceful rebellion, Japanese mercenaries and North Korean mercenaries can be transferred to Indonesia! Wang Yuze said. Over the years, the number of Japanese mercenaries under the orders of China has increased to five divisions, and the Korean mercenaries have also formed two divisions. Now is the time to use them! Especially the Japanese, anyway, they have enough black cauldrons on their backs, and it doesn't matter if they add more!
After the meeting ended, everyone got busy. A barrage of orders was sent. The Army's Ninth Army and the Indian Ocean Fleet in Singapore, in the province of Central South China, immediately began to move. In addition, the heavy cruiser "Fuchunjiang", the light cruiser "Yeosu", and the destroyer "Xiaoshan" in Indonesian waters rushed to Surabaya.
In Surabaya, indigenous Indonesian riots continue. Most of the Chinese have gathered on the street where the consulate is located, and the two ends of the street have been blocked by the temporary guards set up by the consulate.
The Dutch garrison outside the city of Surabaya, after receiving the order of the Indonesian governor Johannes Benedict, immediately gathered their troops and marched towards the city of Surabaya. However, in addition to the army formed by the Dutch, there were two regiments of indigenous Indonesians.
When the Dutch army entered the city of Surabaya, they immediately began to suppress the rebellious Indonesian natives, killing many Indonesian natives. However, the army, which is made up of indigenous Indonesians, refused to shoot at their compatriots. And, at the instigation of the rioting Indonesian natives, the Dutch looked at them more and more terrifyingly.
At this time, the commander of the Dutch army knew that something was wrong, and he immediately ordered the disarmament of the Indonesian army. However, it was already too late. The Indonesians would not be able to rest on their laurels, and they fought back and attacked the Dutch. The Indonesian army was twice as large as the Dutch, and although the equipment was relatively rudimentary, both sides were crowded together at that time, and the Dutch army's superiority in weapons could not be brought into play. In just half an hour, the Dutch army was routed, a regiment of more than a thousand people, most of which were killed by the Indonesians, and the rest fled. After the defeat of the Dutch army, the indigenous Indonesian rebellion became even larger, and at the same time, it spread to the island of Java and the rest of Indonesia!
