After Li Yishan finished reporting his work, he was just about to leave the small courtyard when he saw Li Daolin running in in a hurry, which made Li Yishan frown.

Before Fan Yize and Li Daolin could speak, Li Yishan grabbed Li Daolin and said reproachfully: "When can you learn to collapse in front of Mount Tai without changing your face, don't live up to Mr. Fan's teaching to you." ”

Hearing this, Li Daolin took a deep breath, nodded to his uncle, and then hurriedly reported to Fan Yize: "Mr. Fan, the British are comprehensively restricting the freedom of compatriots in the colony, requiring all Chinese not to leave their homes for 500 meters, and there are British soldiers who specially block the concentrated residential areas of their compatriots. ”

When Fan Yize heard this, there was no change on his face, as if he had known it for a long time, nodded and said, "I already know about this matter." ”

Li Yishan was a little nervous when he heard his nephew's words, but when he saw Fan Yize's appearance, he immediately walked out of the small courtyard with confidence.

And Li Daolin was immediately relieved, and said: "Mr. Fan, the behavior of the British must be guarded against, these colonists have always been unkind, maybe they are planning something." ”

When Fan Yize heard this, he said: "It's not that it's uncertain, but the British are planning how to deal with us." ”

When Li Daolin heard this, he became a little nervous again, after all, as the world's largest power today, Britain's strength is not comparable to that of the Kingdom of the Netherlands.

Li Daolin, who had lived overseas for a long time and had frequent business dealings with the British East India Company, was well aware of the powerful military of the British, and how dangerous it would be to meddle in the ownership of the Dutch East Indies.

"Mr. Fan, should we withdraw from Borneo and Dutch Guinea first, after all, on these two islands, there is only one boundary marker between our territory and the British colony." Li Daolin thought for a while and said.

It is absolutely impossible for Li Daolin to say that he will give up, because the current Chinese have no way out.

Once the British come to attack, they can only resist to the death, and the British face is even more disturbing, and it may bring devastating disasters to the Chinese in the entire Southeast Asia.

Li Daolin didn't have any idea of luck, rights and interests were incomparably cruel, and once he made concessions by force, it would only be a step by step concession, and he would eventually lose everything.

What's more, Li Daolin also believes that the army under Fan Yize is not without any combat effectiveness in the face of the British.

In addition, there are still hundreds of thousands of Chinese, as long as they are armed, they also have the strength to fight.

When Li Daolin got the news, he had a general idea in his mind, to avoid short-range contact with the British, and to delay the British troops with the help of the defense of many islands.

The idea is okay, but Fan Yize doesn't have such an idea, if there is no Red Police Corps under his command, only hundreds of thousands of Chinese, then Fan Yize's decision is similar to Li Daolin.

The British army was indeed much stronger than the Dutch army, and this was not only based on equipment, but also on operational ideas.

In particular, last year's summary of the British Army's performance on the battlefield in South Africa had a very powerful role in promoting the British Army's operational philosophy.

During last year's war in the South African colonies, the British Army had come to realize the terrifying power of the combination of barbed wire and machine guns, and with the trenches and trenches, the war had become a terrible purgatory for the infantry.

However, for the current British Army, this is only a preliminary understanding, and it has not yet reached the complete tactical change of the First World War.

New operational concepts and tactics take time to perfect.

What really made Fan Yize care was the powerful British naval fleet, which was the real factor that threatened the Dutch East Indies.

"We have received preliminary information that the British have contacted the Dutch and will also unite with the Kingdom of the Netherlands to try to recover the Dutch East Indies, as for the transaction between the two countries, we do not know, and of course the content of the transaction is not very important to us."

"The Netherlands has placed an order with the British naval shipyard for two new warships, the first ship 'Seven Provinces Soyuz' and the second ship will be built at the Dutch shipyard, and the other two will be built in the UK, and plans to build several protective cruisers."

"According to the content of the preliminary information, the Dutch's shipbuilding plan is, first, to restore the naval strength damaged in the war as much as possible, because in addition to the Dutch East Indies, there are other colonies that also need the Dutch navy to deter and maintain, and secondly, to strengthen cooperation with the British, with the help of the British, to deal with us, and shipbuilding is also one of the bargaining chips."

"Britain has secretly mobilized troops in the Southeast Asian colonies and Australian colonies, and according to our predictions, the British can mobilize 80,000 to 100,000 troops, half of which will be cannon fodder troops composed of colonized people."

"Britain needed the name of attacking, and the caution of the British made it inevitable that Britain would not come alone, and the Dutch had a name for uniting the Netherlands, and the Dutch were also acting together. The Netherlands does not have a standing army, it belongs to the reserve military system, only standing officers, and can prepare about 100,000 troops in a short time. ”

The housekeeper walked to the two of them and introduced the information he got in the morning to Li Daolin.

Now there are not many available talents around Fan Yize, who is only responsible for the operation of the base and the housekeeper who executes Fan Yize's orders, and also undertakes some military tasks, but this is only a temporary job.

Li Daolin listened to the housekeeper tell the whole incident, and a little beads of sweat overflowed on his head, and the situation was even more serious than he expected.

With at least 100,000 enemies, or even 200,000 in scale, Li Daolin was inevitably a little uneasy in his heart.

Seeing this, Fan Yize said: "Although British Prime Minister Balfour is not a democrat, he does not have any good feelings towards the Chinese, and has always positioned the Chinese as an unstable factor, so it is not surprising that the colonies began to restrict the movement of the Chinese. ”

"Then the compatriots in the British colonies, will there be danger?" Li Daolin saw Fan Yize's state, tried to calm down in his heart, and asked the questions he was very worried about.

"The British will not cut the Chinese, nor will they kill for no reason. We can rest assured that the Chinese will be killed, and once the war breaks out, the Chinese in the British colonies will soon be safe. Fan Yize said confidently.

Fan Yize has been paying attention to the movements of Britain for a long time, and he will be aware of any disturbances, and he fully anticipated the greed of Britain, and he not only had to chop off the greedy hand that dared to stretch out, but also chased and beaten.
