Now that he has recognized the situation and predicament encountered by the Russian fleet, all Xu Jie has to do is to do some foreshadowing in terms of fuel and food supplies! Whether by economic or violent means, the supply capacity of the Dutch East Indies colonies must be reduced as much as possible. At the same time, the construction of various facilities in Batavia was delayed as much as possible.

"Peng Lao, as a native of East Indian Chinese, I don't have high requirements for you, for the coal mines of the entire Kalimantan Island, you and the power you have taken must be controlled as much as possible, for private coal mines, you can merge or crush them, for the coal mines mined by the Dutch government. You have to figure out as much as you can where each large batch of transactions is going. Be on high alert for the Dutch hoarding of coal mines. Xu Jie said to Peng Haifeng.

"I'm afraid it's a bit difficult, but now the Dutch still have some restrictions on the resource industry of Chinese Americans, and as you said, the Dutch are really busy opening coal mines and have the intention of hoarding. For the former, we can still hire some natives or work with foreign merchants to mine the coal, but we don't have a good way to deal with the Dutch themselves. Peng Haifeng said after pondering for a moment.

"Then sabotage, of course, we Chinese Americans cannot directly come forward and instigate those natives to riot or strike, no matter what means are used, whether it is violence or money, as long as there is a way to use it, it can be used. Mr. Peng, believe me, in a maximum of six years, the entire Dutch East Indies will be open to our China, and our purpose is not only to defeat the Russians, but also to expand our living space to Southeast Asia. We may not be able to include the whole of Indonesia in our territory, but we can protect the rights and security of all Chinese Americans. Xu Jie said firmly.

"Relatively speaking, the grain side is easier to make. In order to obtain greater economic benefits, the Dutch forcibly promoted cash crops such as rubber, and various plantations were scattered all over the place. And as you can estimate, the food supply level of Java, the most populous island, is very low, and the natives can do without coal, but they can't live without buying food, and this can be done with a little agitation. Peng Haifeng is very confident in this.

"It's not just food. There are also various drugs, especially those that specialize in tropical diseases, such as quinine, which must be controlled, so that the Russians can reach the equator from the cold far north. If you don't let them enjoy the warm sunshine and humid oceanic climate, how can they be worthy. Xu Jie sneered.

Speaking of this, Xu Jie remembered a joke from World War II. After Pearl Harbor, Japan advanced by land and sea, and in just half a year, almost the whole of Southeast Asia was included in its own bag. And at that time, a reporter asked a Japanese general. What if the Americans counterattack. The Japanese general said proudly, don't worry, just the disease of malaria can break up the American counteroffensive, malaria is an extremely common tropical disease, and at that time the Dutch East Indies almost monopolized all the quinine production capacity in the world at that time. It can be seen that this tropical disease is terrible.

Of course, malaria has not stopped Americans from moving forward. It didn't even cause much trouble to the Americans, for the simple reason that it didn't cause much. Americans have already started to use synthetic quinine! Although the quality is super poor, the measuring tube is enough. But 40 years ago, when quinine was not yet synthesized, the tropical climate and disease were definitely the enemy of foreign armies! Especially for Russians who come from the far north and spend all day in the company of a cold and dry climate.

"In addition to controlling these products at the source, we also need to control the transportation channels, after all, a large amount of grain and coal needs to cross the Java Sea to Batavia, and I hope that before the war starts, Peng Lao can take as many ships as possible from the war zone, and even if they can't take them away, they will be destroyed or sunk as much as possible." Xu Jie thought for a while and said.

"We Chinese businessmen have already transferred some movable property from the East Indies to other places, and even if we Chinese businessmen blow up the materials and burn them, we will not let the Dutch get a little. However, the Dutch also had some capacity in the colonies, and the owners and boatmen of these ships were Dutch, so it was difficult for us to infiltrate them. That's not easy to do. Peng Haifeng replied.

"We can't force people to do it. For the departments or facilities that the Dutch strictly protect, you only need to collect intelligence, and in addition, in terms of economy, I wonder if Elder Peng can contact Mr. Zhang and others to cause some losses to the Dutch? Although the Netherlands has declined, it can still come up with some money to buy warships and armaments in desperation. Xu Jie asked.

"This is something that needs to be considered in the long run. It's not something that can be decided in a short period of time. But if we have the chance, we'll give the Dutch some colours to look at. Peng Haifeng didn't say anything full.

From now on, some elderly and weak women and children can consider coming to China temporarily, and we will make proper arrangements for their lives, and give preferential treatment to the families of those involved in various operations. Because a considerable part of our future planning will be carried out in Kalimantan. Therefore, in order to ensure your safety, we will consult with the British colonial authorities in East Malaya before the operation begins, and provide you with the necessary help and shelter, and if this is not possible, you can be involved in East Malaya. Xu Jie said with a smile.

"Thank you, Premier Xu. That way, we don't have to worry about it. I, the Nanyang Chinese, will live up to our mission. Peng Haifeng arched his hand and said.

"In addition, there is one more thing, our Chinese fleet will definitely enter the South China Sea to fight, this supply must be the best nearby, after all, it is too far from the mainland to the South China Sea, we hope that the Chinese in Nanyang can use the ships in their hands to use British Malaya as a base to provide supply and reconnaissance help for our Chinese fleet, and we will pay for the supplies according to the market price, and we will also compensate for the losses and losses caused by reconnaissance." Xu Jie said the last request.

"There is no problem, fighting for our own family, Premier Xu doesn't say it, we Nanyang Chinese will do the same. The old man will prepare for this matter after he goes back, and he will definitely not disappoint you. Peng Haifeng assured.

"In that case, Xu has thanked you here." Xu Jie replied with a smile. Then the two sides chatted for a while and then dispersed, and that night, after inviting Peng Haifeng, the Nanyang bigwig, to have a meal, Xu Jie hurriedly recalled Yang Yonglin, Liu Buyun and Deng Shichang and others from Weihai.
