Chapter 58 Chinese people around the world are like a family
Pontianak, the largest city in the Dutch East Indies in Borneo and an important node for maritime trade, is a predominantly Chinese city.
A large amount of coal and iron ore were loaded onto ships from here and shipped to Europe.
The main coal and iron of several European countries come from here, and there are rich coal and iron ore mining resources around it, and most of the hundreds of thousands of people living in this city also depend on these mineral resources for their livelihood.
The Chinese make up more than one-third of the region's population, with the rest predominantly Malays and a few Javanese.
Given the abundance of resources in this area, and the fact that the north coast of Borneo is British territory, it is this area that the British want to occupy most and of course the whole of Borneo.
Of the East Indies, Borneo has the most abundant resources, enough to supply half of Europe's coal and iron needs, and has large oil reserves.
Britain is now also starting to focus on these oils, and the British, who have excellent strategic foresight, have seen an important oil market in the future.
In particular, with the gradual development and maturity of the power system of new warships, as well as the gradual large-scale use of trucks and other vehicles, petroleum resources have attracted more and more attention.
In the blink of an eye, two months have passed.
The British mobilized six infantry divisions from Malaysia and India, all of which were quietly massed in northern Borneo.
A month earlier, the Dutch had called up a full ten infantry divisions on their home soil, and one cavalry division had also boarded ships and set sail for Southeast Asia, escorted by two British destroyers.
At this moment, the whole world already knows that Dutch rule in the Dutch East Indies has been overthrown by the Chinese, and the current Dutch East Indies are already under the control of the Chinese.
At the same time, Fan Yize's name reappeared in Western reports, and the new owner of the East Indies reappeared in major newspapers.
People are just a short-term accident, and the astonishing transformation around Fan Yize is really notorious under the various blackening of the Western media.
In particular, Britain, the self-proclaimed righteous side, spared no effort to condemn Fan Yize's behavior.
Create public opinion, so that Britain and Europe are familiar with Fan Yize, the big bad guy, if Britain suddenly attacks one day, it will not be unacceptable to the people.
As for the effect, it is up to the benevolent.
For many European countries, that is what it is, Europe is not a monolithic thing, and at the time of the British and Dutch newspapers Hei Fan Yize, there were also other European newspapers that evaluated this matter fairly, and even some neutral newspapers and magazines even published articles claiming that this was the most successful war against colonial rule.
After all, not all European countries are colonial powers, and not all countries need to rely on the snort of the British, and even have very bad relations with each other.
In their opinion, this behavior of the British can be regarded as taking advantage of the fire to rob.
The Americans have a lot to say about this, although the Americans will not agree with Fan Yize's approach, but they also criticize the British from time to time for this behavior.
It is undeniable that Fan Yize has officially entered the eyes of Chinese people around the world under various reports, and has directly risen to the status of a national hero.
As for whether it is recognized by all Chinese people, it does not matter, as long as it is recognized by the majority of people.
Fan Yize, on the other hand, never paid attention to these reports, but stayed in Jakarta to develop production and prepare for the approaching war.
The number of Chinese on the islands of Java and Sumatra has skyrocketed by nearly one million in the past two months.
Li Yishan contacted all the overseas Chinese who could be contacted, and mobilized all the connections and relationships of overseas Chinese in China, constantly transporting a large number of poor Chinese in China to the East Indies, and also attracting a large number of Chinese capital.
Although the British are now eyeing the enemy, and the Dutch have never come to contact, which means that the war is not over, this does not hinder the enthusiasm of all Chinese.
A Chinese country that is about to be established is worth paying for by most of the Chinese.
Let all the wandering Chinese have a strong backing and immovable support.
Although it is still stormy, all the Chinese who support it know that the more this time, the more we should unite together.
Wandering outside, the status of the Chinese, the discriminatory gaze everywhere, and the dignity are gone, so that all overseas Chinese are more aware of the importance of unity.
The millions of Chinese are just the vanguard, because more Chinese want to come over, and overseas Chinese are also mobilizing more ships.
And Li Yishan also dealt with the bureaucrats in his hometown, and a large number of poor people are looking forward to various welfare policies overseas.
Believe it or not, never force it, because most Chinese know that no matter how bad it is abroad, it is not much worse than at home.
In addition, many Chinese who have come to the local area to help write letters and publicize, this kind of immigration trend is rapidly becoming popular in their hometowns, and has even spread to the interior.
With the joint efforts of Chinese all over the world, in two months, millions of Chinese migrated over, which can only be said to be inefficient.
There is no way around it, after all, there are not many ships, and there are not many people transported by each ship.
Starting from the actual situation, it is not easy for millions of people to arrive in two months.
A third of those million people landed in Jakarta.
As soon as they landed ashore, these compatriots were greeted and received with the warmest welcome, and after registration, they were not only provided with hot meals, but also clothes to pick up, and they were immediately arranged to live.
The Indonesians in Jakarta have long since been reduced to ashes, and all the houses in the city have been simply cleaned and tidyed up, and one by one will be allocated to these new compatriots, except that they cannot buy and sell, and will serve as their eternal home.
As soon as he came, he arranged food, clothing, housing and transportation, and received the land, which made many Chinese shed tears of emotion, and Fan Yize's name was remembered by all people.
After a few days of familiarization, some of them took part in the work of arranging other compatriots, and some of them brought brand-new farm tools and seeds to work on the arranged land.
The children all walked into the school, received brand new textbooks, put on uniform uniforms, and sat in the spacious and bright classroom, with the sound of Lang Lang reading.
This is a brand new place, but there is no strangeness at all, every Chinese who comes here sincerely loves this place, because it has everything in a dream, and it is even more beautiful than the Taoyuan in a dream.
Clearing the wasteland, working, accepting, familiarizing, learning, as if without all the troubles, the global Chinese are really like a family.
