Sumatra

Located in the port of Banda Aceh at the northwestern tip of the island

It is bordered by the vast Indian Ocean, nearly 20,000 kilometers away from North America, and is located in the tropics but has a pleasant climate, which is a typical oceanic tropical climate.

In a beautiful light white Dutch-style building in the city, Brigadier Don Li Yi is sitting at an oval dining table and is having breakfast with his family.

Sitting at the other end of the table is the fourth aunt Caroline, the pearl of the mayor of Kuwait City, Enzo, holding a mixed-race boy under the age of one in her arms, feeding the child freshly ground soy milk with a spoon, and the child is eating quite happily.

On the other side is the fifth aunt Taimai Xiuling, who now has a big belly and is at least 6 months pregnant.

There is a dazzling array of food on the table, a large pot of flowers in the middle of the table, a seven-headed European-style silver candlestick at both ends, and a variety of fresh tropical melons and fruits are placed in several delicate pots.

Brigadier General Don Li Yi eats freshly grilled steak, which he uses a knife and fork to cut into small pieces and put in his mouth. Burnt on the outside and tender on the inside, the Australian prime steak is full of gravy and bursts when you chew it in your mouth, which is quite delicious.

The Imperial Family was particularly fond of steak and lamb chops, as well as all kinds of healthy soups, and it was not uncommon to eat steak early in the morning, as my father often did.

But the father can eat four or five tomahawk steaks in one meal, and although the children of the royal family are tall, they have no good appetite, and they can only eat two pieces when they are in the sky, and they can't hold it out.

The children at the table looked at their father's sweet food, their calves stood up stiffly, their big eyes stared at each other, their saliva overflowed involuntarily, and they shouted "babbling" in their small mouths, and stood on Caroline's lap and jumped.

Brigadier General Tang Li Yi chuckled when he saw this, put down the knife and fork in his hand, took a sip of freshly ground soybean milk, and said teasingly; "Little one, don't look at the meat on other people's plates, you haven't grown teeth yet?"

"Master, don't care about him, such a big child is greedy, if you don't pay attention, you really stuff everything into your mouth." Caroline smiled and fed the child another spoonful of soy milk.

Maybe the child stopped eating, and the soy milk fed in it spit out again, wetting the small white milk towel around his mouth.

Brigadier General Don Li Yi nodded with a smile and said to her; "The Imperial Army has been mainly stationed here for the past two years, and it has settled down for the time being, and it will not be running around.

I have already instructed my men to carry out some of the supplies and armaments needed for Kuwait City, and they will be shipped over in the near future, and they have been informed by telegram.

in this batch of supplies

There were 32 armoured trucks specially adapted for Kuwait City, as well as 110 general cargo trucks, accompanied by more than 10 maintenance technicians.

With this batch of armored trucks, in the field, it was enough to deal with the cavalry of the Ottoman army, which was in the size of several thousand.

Neither Baghdad nor Basra can pose a military threat to Kuwait. ”

"Sir, in that poor and remote place in Kuwait, I'm afraid I won't use these new gadgets."

"It doesn't matter, in a few months, a group of officers and men who have overstayed their service will be retired, and it would be good to arrange for a group of people to go over."

"It's still thoughtful, Caroline is here to thank the master for the 100,000 people in Kuwait, it's not easy to make a living on other people's turf!"

"Family, why do you need to say more?" Brigadier General Don Li Yi picked up his knife and fork again and launched a final assault on the uneaten steak......

He already had a wife and children on the territory of the empire, and his eldest son is 11 years old this year, and like the other children, he stayed in the imperial capital of Chang'an to receive an elite aristocratic education.

Na's aunt's wife during her overseas service was just a trivial matter.

His Royal Highness Tang Li Yi, as the prince at the bottom of the ranks, has been awarded the title of third-class duke since he became an adult, that is, the duke with no name, and his royal status is naturally extremely noble.

The nameless duke also has a disadvantage, that is, he is demoted to a lord, and after a few generations, he will be a baron.

After four generations, if you descend to the level of baron, you will not be lowered again, and it can be passed down from generation to generation.

Compared with the group of founding fathers who followed His Majesty the Emperor to fight the world in the early days, the hereditary succession of the Duke of Anguo's Mansion, the Duke's Mansion of Fuguo, and the Duke's Mansion of Zhenguo was much worse.

Compared with the Duke of Hawaii, the Duke of Alaska, and the Duke of Panama, the hereditary dukedom titles are also a step worse.

Even in the face of those marquises and earls who have been granted hereditary replacement, the gold content is slightly insufficient.

Some princes have no ambitions and are willing to enjoy the glory and wealth in front of them, and there are many such people in the royal family.

His Royal Highness Tang Li Yi is different, he is determined to join the army, and is determined to follow in the footsteps of his father and brothers, do a vigorous career, and win his own glory.

He single-handedly developed an armored force that was ahead of the times, and his exploits in the North American Expansion War and the Tang-Dutch War were all heavy feats and a guarantee for winning the honorable title.

The reason why it has not been cashed out is that it still needs to be accumulated.

Now that my father is on the throne, no matter from which point of view, he will not treat himself badly, is he not as good as an outsider?

Don Li Yi was a smart and assertive man, and all he could aspire to was the incomparably noble title of prince. Ordinary people must not have to think about it, it is equivalent to daydreaming, but he may be within reach.

Finished breakfast

Brigadier General Tang Li Yi, accompanied by his adjutant, got into a black car and went to the division headquarters, and the two cars drove out of the gate along the road of the manor.

The guards at the gate stood up and saluted, and watched respectfully as the car drove away from the manor.

During the Dutch colonial period, very little money was invested in repairing public facilities, and the streets of Banda Aceh were mostly dirt and stone roads, except for Tulip Road, the core of the city, which was paved with large stone slabs.

Two black sedans drove on the road one after the other, and the streetscape kept receding backwards.

The policemen and heavily armed soldiers on duty on the road stood and saluted when they saw the car passing by, knowing that it was a high-ranking military official.

It has been more than four months since the Tang Imperial army occupied Banda Aceh, and brigades of hard laborers can often be seen toiling on both sides of the road.

They built ditches, houses, roads, and left the city to see bands of hard laborers building bridges, roads, and water conservancy facilities on farmland.

There are many Chinese faces in the town, and the first thing these new immigrants do when they arrive on the island is to cut off their braids, clean their bodies from top to bottom, and their clothes are steamed and disinfected at high temperatures to prevent carrying germs.

Every new Chinese immigrant has to go through a week of preaching, and the content of the preaching is quite large.

Preaching the glorious glory of the Tang Empire in the past half century, how the empire rose in North America under the leadership of His Majesty the Emperor, how it won the respect of the world, and how it won victory after victory.

The preaching hopes that every overseas descendant of Yan and Huang will unite, help each other, respect and love each other, be self-reliant, be proud of being a citizen of the empire, and establish a strong sense of national honor and disgrace and self-esteem.

The preaching calls on newcomers to obey the law, to rally closely around the Imperial Government, to maintain the necessary vigilance, to report any irregularities immediately, to be rewarded for valuable clues, and so on.

Tell the new immigrants about the financial help they can get, the preferential policies of the empire, the tax policy, the agricultural assistance policy, etc., to help the new immigrants better integrate into the society.

The armoured division was stationed in the Banda Aceh area, and because of the military administration in the occupied areas, colonial officials and other local officials worked at the division headquarters, acting like a small government.

Such a state of governance generally lasts for 2~3 years, and lasts longer in areas with complex situations, such as the military management in Colombia for nearly 5 years.

The city is full of construction, and it looks a little dirty and dirty.

When the military chief's black sedan approached, the policemen and soldiers on duty on the side of the road would immediately order the carriage to pull over.

The white men in the carriage, both men and women, had to stand in a row on the side of the road, looking respectful to greet them.

Those who do not obey the order or have the slightest resistance will directly smash the butt of the gun to the ground, and the means are quite rough.

Many of the hard labor camps in Banda Aceh were white prisoners of war, as well as some former white plantation owners and ranchers in Banda Aceh, many of whom became coolies.

Because these whites were much more capable of building houses and bridges than the natives, white slave laborers were often seen in the city.

Feng Shui takes turns, from the previous high to the bottom of the stairs.

The speed of the car was not fast, and it slowly drove by.

At intersections and bridgeside arteries, one or two gray-brown ironclad vehicles can always be seen parked on the side of the road, assisted by more than a dozen to twenty heavily armed soldiers.

These are the traffic checkpoints, which can be found at the intersections of the main roads and on the main roads out of the city of Banda Aceh under the military administration, and are one of the powerful measures to suppress the indigenous uprising.

merely

The ironclad chariots that can be found everywhere in Banda Aceh are not seen in other cities, and more often are circular barricades or wooden sentry boxes enclosed with sandbags, which can achieve the same effect.

In the event of a riot or riot in the city, the soldiers on duty at the traffic checkpoint immediately blocked the intersection and forbade anyone to pass, and then launched a search and arrest operation.

Pulling out the radish and bringing out the mud, a few rioters are often hunted down, and in the end, dozens or hundreds of local aborigines are arrested.

Except for the rioters who were killed on the spot, most of the others were thrown directly into the hard labor camps.

The crime is that he doesn't look like a good person.

The car made its way unimpeded to the division headquarters, which was the former presbyterian meeting of the Banda Aceh Kingdom, which was used as a military headquarters after the occupation by the Dutch colonists.

More than 400 armed officers and soldiers were assembling in the courtyard, and the commander, Colonel Pan Zhixin, saw the sedan driving into the courtyard and hurriedly ran forward.

He raised his hand and saluted, and reported to Brigadier General Tang Liyi, who had just stepped out of the car;

"Lord Shiza, the second battalion of the fourth regiment is assembling and preparing to carry out the operation of searching the neighborhood to capture fugitives, please instruct."

"Act as planned."

"Yes, sir."

The so-called search for fugitives was an excuse, and now the Dutch army has been completely defeated, and most of them have been reduced to prisoners.

When the peace talks were not in place, the Corps would not keep these white prisoners of war, so they were all put into hard labor camps in exchange for some food.

Although the food is not good, at least it will not starve to death.

Even after escaping from the hard labor camp, no one dared to take these white people in, and once they were discovered, the whole family was unlucky.

The white farmers and plantation owners in the slave labor camps were the most typical examples, not only did they have to confiscate all their property, but all the men were transferred to the hard labor camps.

As for white women, young and beautiful can be small if they are favored by officers, and most of them are reduced to dust.

For several months, no one dared to take in the fugitives.

The so-called search for fugitives is just a matter of accepting a large number of Chinese immigrants and emptying the aborigines in an organized manner.

In the recent past

Nearly half of the population has been emptied, and most of them have been sent to the rainforest to clear the land and build roads, and it is impossible to return.

This is also a common occurrence in other towns, where it is a boiled frog in warm water, and it does not take long to replace the urban population.

Otherwise, how can hundreds of thousands of new immigrants be resettled every year?
