"Your Excellency the Governor! I think we're going to have to shrink our defenses! Now half of our army is in West Borneo, and quite a few in Kalimantan and South Borneo, and in Java there are less than eight thousand people! If the Xinhua army attacks Java Island, I am afraid it will be difficult for us to resist it! Lieutenant General Debor, commander of the Dutch-Indonesian Army, suggested. The destruction of the Dutch Navy's East India Fleet shocked him very much, and he was also a little worried that the Xinhua Army would take the opportunity to attack Java Island. The East India Fleet had already used their demise to prove the strength of the Xinhua Navy. Lieutenant General de Boer didn't want to use the army's fiasco to verify whether the Xinhua Army was as tough as rumored!
"Hmmm! General de Boer, you can take full responsibility for the military arrangements! "Jacques. said the Governor of Dominica. The crushing defeat of the East India Fleet dealt him a great blow. However, he was not willing to swallow it like that. In his heart, a plan has been formed to take revenge on Xinhuaguo, or rather, to take revenge on the Chinese. Although it was a little cruel, however, he couldn't care about it so much. It seems that only in this way can he vent the anger in his heart!
"Yes, Your Excellency the Governor! However, I don't think Xinhua will necessarily attack Indonesia. Although their navy was victorious, Dutch Indonesia was too big for them to capture in a short time. And the expeditionary force of the Spaniards was coming. Xinhua should now gather all its strength to deal with the Spaniards! Lieutenant General de Boer said. Of course, he also knew. If the Spanish Expeditionary Force is not the opponent of the Xinhua Army this time, then the entire South China Sea will change. Xinhuaguo's next target. Definitely Dutch Indonesia. Especially after the East India Fleet was wiped out, Xinhua could launch an attack on Dutch Indonesia more easily!
Jacques. The Governor of Dominica nodded, and then said, "General Debor, I have a plan that needs the cooperation of the army!" ”
"What's the plan? Your Excellency the Governor, just command! Lieutenant General de Boer said with some confusion.
"I'm going to take revenge on those vile yellow-skinned monkeys! With shameless tactics, they killed the heroic Dutch navy! "Jacques. The Governor of Dominica said through gritted teeth. Brigadier General Phoenix told him with a look of frustration and exhaustion. After the Dutch Navy's East India Fleet was completely destroyed, he was very angry! I want to use all means to take revenge on Xinhua and vent my anger! Merely. Now he is able to take the means, not much.
"Your Excellency the Governor! Without the help of the Navy, we will not be able to pose a threat to Xinhua! Even if they had a territory in East Borneo earlier, but. An army of more than six thousand people was also stationed there. Our main force is dealing with Lan Fangguo. There are not enough troops to attack East Borneo! Lieutenant General de Boer explained. In his opinion, now the Dutch Indonesian colonial authorities have to hold the line of defense, and not take the initiative to attack! Otherwise, you're likely to lose even more!
"No, No, General de Boer, you misunderstood me. I don't mean to attack Xinhua now! "Jacques. The Governor of Dominica shook his head.
"So, how is Your Excellency the Governor going to take revenge on the New Huaguo?" Lieutenant General de Boer asked with some confusion.
"Don't forget! It's not just Xinhua that has Chinese! In Dutch Indonesia, there are also many Chinese on the island of Java! "Jacques. The Governor of Dominica now seems to have been completely blinded by hatred.
"But. Your Excellency the Governor, those are just civilians! If we go after them. This will cause damage to the image of the Netherlands! Lieutenant General de Boer shook his head, he was a pure soldier, and if he were allowed to slaughter civilians, he would never give such an order!
"Now they are civilians! However, if Xinhua defeats us and captures Java Island, they will become citizens of Xinhua and become our enemies! Eliminating those Chinese now will be of great help to us in defending Java in the future! "Jacques. The Governor of Dominica said stubbornly.
"No, Your Excellency the Governor, it is inhumane to attack civilians! I wouldn't do such a thing! Lieutenant General de Boer also said resolutely.
"Well, General, I'm not going to let you and your people shoot those Chinese! I just want your people to remain silent for a while! Those natives will do everything for us! When the time comes, everything will be blamed on those natives, and we have nothing to do with it! "Jacques. The Governor of Dominica said with a smile. He had already thought that if the Dutch-Indonesian authorities sent troops to massacre the Chinese, it would definitely not work. This will not only damage the image of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, but also find a fierce counterattack from the new country. After all, the warning of Long Yufei, the king of Xinhua, was still echoing in his ears. Long Yufei, the king of Xinhua, is also a ruthless person, if the Dutch dare to slaughter the Chinese, then the tens of thousands of Dutch people in Dutch Indonesia may not end well. Jacques. The Governor of Dominica didn't want to take that risk. Of course, if there is a rebellion by the natives, then everything can be explained! When the time comes, the Dutch-Indonesian colonial authorities will be able to pass the blame away!
Lieutenant General de Boer was a little hesitant, he had always been very opposed to this kind of attack on civilians. Of course, when the Dutch ruled Indonesia, they did not slaughter the indigenous Indonesians. However, can Indonesian natives and Chinese be the same? The Chinese are already a civilized race, while the Indonesian monkeys can only be regarded as uncivilized savages! Even the massacre of these indigenous Indonesians will not have any effect.
"Alright! Your Excellency the Governor, I know what happened! In order to prepare for the attack of Xinhua, all the armies of Dutch Indonesia will enter a state of emergency combat readiness. I'll order them all to stay in the barracks and not go out!" Lieutenant General de Boer said. Jacques. The Governor of Dominica was the highest military and political chief of the Dutch-Indonesian colonial authorities, and Lieutenant General de Boer was not willing to quarrel with him over the affairs of the Chinese.
"Ha Lu Ha! General Xie Luxie's cooperation! Soon, you'll see that those yellow-skinned monkeys will pay for their shameless behavior! "Jacques. The Governor of Dominica's eyes were full of bloodthirsty light.
Lieutenant General de Boer looked at Jacques. The Governor of Dominica, who was almost in a state of madness, was a little worried, fearing that his behavior would bring greater losses to the Kingdom of the Netherlands. After all, the current Xinhua Kingdom is already the most powerful force in the Nanyang region! If there is a large-scale anti-Chinese incident on the island of Java, they will definitely not give up!
There are a large number of Chinese living on Java Island, and since more than 300 years, there have been Chinese people from China's coastal areas to Nanyang to make a living, and the Indonesian archipelago is also an important place for Chinese people. Important cities such as Batavia and Surabaya on the island of Java have a large number of Chinese living here. At this time, the total number of Chinese living in Batavia was as high as 20,000. In the whole island of Java, there are almost 50,000 Chinese.
The number of Chinese in Dutch Indonesia is far from comparable to that of the indigenous Indonesians. However, they had a great deal of wealth in Dutch Indonesia. Through colonial plunder, the Dutch took control of Indonesia's economic lifeline. The Chinese, on the other hand, have accumulated a lot of wealth through hard work. Unlike the lazy natives, the Chinese can live a good life by enduring hardships and standing hard work no matter where they go.
As a very simple example, a Chinese and an indigenous person run two grocery stores at the same time. The natives usually close their doors at four or five p.m., while the Chinese stay open until midnight. As you can imagine, who will make more money? But those natives don't think about why the Chinese would earn so much wealth and they are so poor. They will only think that it is the Chinese who have plundered their wealth, and that it is the Chinese who have caused them to live a poor life. Therefore, in Dutch Indonesia, the relationship between the Chinese and the local indigenous people is very bad. There are frequent incidents of indigenous bullying of Chinese people. If it weren't for the fact that the Dutch-Indonesian colonial authorities did not want to see a turbulent Dutch Indonesia, perhaps a fierce conflict would have broken out between the indigenous and Chinese long ago.
The Chinese are kind by nature, and they believe more in harmony and wealth. It's just that the kindness of the Chinese did not satisfy those natives, but made them worse. In normal times, under the control of the Dutch Indonesian colonial authorities, those natives did not dare to be too arrogant. But now, Xinhua and the Dutch Indonesian colonial authorities are already in a state of war, and the Dutch Indonesian colonial authorities will certainly not suppress those Chinese anymore.
With the hint of the governor of Dutch Indonesia, for a time, the Dutch military police all over Batavia disappeared. In addition, there are still no Dutch contacts with the indigenous people. As a result, there are more and more natives wandering outside the streets of the Chinese population. The atmosphere in Batavia has become very eerie.
"Your Excellency! More and more natives are staying outside the streets where the Chinese are concentrated, and they are staring at the Chinese shops with bad intentions, and they are afraid that something will happen! A middle-aged man said to Fang Minghong, the consul of Xinhua in Batavia.
"Damn, those shitty Indonesian monkeys, trying to turn the sky upside down?" Fang Minghong frowned.
"What about the Dutch police? Go find them! Chinese businessmen pay so much tax every month, they have to be responsible for protecting the safety of the Chinese! Consul Fang Minghong said.
"Your Excellency, it's useless! We've been looking for a Dutch police officer before! As a result, they blame each other! I think there's something strange about this! The middle-aged Chinese said.
"Bastard, are there those Dutch people behind this?" Fang Minghong's face suddenly became very ugly! (To be continued......)
