November 24, 2758 (1917), Hanjing.

This morning, Wen Desi and other high-level central officials gathered at Qianxing Lake in the western suburbs of Hanjing to hold a meeting on Nanyang affairs on the golden wind and drizzle building on the lakeside. This Thousand Star Lake was not famous at all before, to be precise, it did not exist eight years ago. This is an artificial lake located next to the Qinghe River (located in the Paizi River Reservoir in Xiangyang City), which is part of the Hanjiang River Water Conservancy Project and the outer part of the Danjiangkou Reservoir.

This Qianxing Lake was started in March 1909 and officially completed in August 1915, with a water area of about 510 square kilometers, mainly used for water storage and flood control, mainly supplying domestic water for Hanjing, and also has the functions of irrigation, aquaculture, power generation, and water airport.

Because its main purpose is to store water and flood control, its name on the drawings and water conservancy plans was originally called "Qinghe No. 1 Reservoir" or "Paizi River Reservoir". Later, Wen Desi ordered the construction of more than 3,000 antique lighthouses and lampstands on the lake and dozens of islands in the lake, the lighthouses are mainly used as aviation landmarks, guiding airships and seaplanes to land at night, and also guide night boats. When the lights are on at night, the entire lake looks like a starry sky. At that time, Zhang Binglin, who came to attend the completion ceremony, was shocked by this scenery, and wrote a poem with a stroke of his pen on the spot, calling it "Lake of a Thousand Stars", and later this poem spread, and everyone expressed their agreement, so this reservoir was renamed "Thousand Star Lake", and no one paid attention to its original name "Qinghe No. 1 Reservoir".

Although Qianxing Lake is an artificial lake, it is next to the capital after all, and the relevant departments still spend some effort to decorate, the lakeside is full of weeping willows, camphor and other trees, and the surrounding trees are also green, and there are many parks, gardens, lawns and other facilities. In this way, this originally ordinary place has become pleasant. The vast surface of the lake and the surrounding green and colorful vegetation are contrasted with each other, and the scenery is quite high.

Wen Dehei from later generations will naturally not let go of this kind of excellent tourism resources, simply make this a tourist attraction and leisure and recuperation center, supporting all antique buildings and traditional gardens, and when these buildings are completed, the forced grid here will explode in an instant. Nowadays, many departments, enterprises and institutions, as well as non-governmental companies and institutions like to organize people to travel or recuperate here, especially people near Hanjing, who like to come to play and leisure on holidays.

People can also buy land and build houses here, and now there are many people who have made a fortune to build holiday villas here, and companies that have made a fortune have built resorts or sanatoriums here, and the fierce European war in recent years has really created a large number of rich people. Of course, these folk buildings must also be in accordance with the regulations, and must be consistent with the style here, and cannot be unconventional.

The antique building where the meeting is held now is the main building of the leisure center built at the expense of the central government, and this antique seven-story building was named "Golden Wind Drizzle Building" by Mr. Wen with a stroke of his pen. Of course, it's just that the shape and decoration are antique, and the functional facilities inside are still extremely modern and extremely high-tech.

At this moment, in the conference room on the top floor, Xin Jie, chief of the General Staff, was introducing the situation in Nanyang.

"Comrades, the Dutch Far East Fleet has been confirmed to be completely destroyed, and our army has sunk two dreadnought-class battleships, six coastal defense battleships, ten cruisers, twelve destroyers, ten gunboats, eight large torpedo boats, nine submarines, eighteen torpedo boats and twenty auxiliary ships, and destroyed 257 aircraft. A total of three superdreadnought-class battleships, four cruisers, two destroyers, 11 submarines, 35 torpedo boats, 28 auxiliary vessels of various types, and 65 aircraft were captured or surrendered to our troops. ”

"According to our preliminary statistics, in this battle of the Java Sea, the Dutch Navy lost 5,320 people, lost more than 200 people, wounded more than 5,000 people, and 12,340 people were captured by our army. No ships of our army have been sunk in this battle, two heavy cruisers, one light cruiser and five destroyers have been severely damaged, two heavy cruisers, two light cruisers and three destroyers have been damaged, and more than ten ships have been lightly damaged......"

"According to reports from the front, our army now controls the Riau Islands, the Shitang Islands (Anambas Islands, formerly known as "Shitangyu"), the Longya Islands (Linga Islands), the Tamilan Islands, Bangka Islands and Belitung Islands. The landing of our troops in Palembang, Jambi, Pontianak, Jakarta, Semarang and other places has been completed smoothly, and the above areas have been controlled by our army, and the Dutch colonial government has moved to Bandung. Our troops in the direction of Bo Ni have already occupied Tarakan and are advancing towards Sammarinda. The troops in the Irian direction have now occupied Jayapura and are currently moving in two directions towards Valen and Maraki...... In addition, our army has seized and captured 166 Dutch merchant ships in various seaports and shipping routes in the East Indies......"

"In general, the current operations of our army in the Dutch East Indies are very smooth, and not a single qiē is beyond the plan......" Xin Jie ended with such a sentence after introducing the current situation in the South Seas.

Prime Minister Zhang Lizheng asked: "So, what about our Chinese ghetto in the East Indies? Have we been attacked by the Dutch?"

Xin Jie smiled and said: "Of course not, the Dutch are now too busy to take care of themselves, and it is not enough to defend themselves in the city, where is there still the ability and strength to attack the Chinese ghetto? Besides, our Chinese ghetto is a semi-fortified city, and the defense is extremely considerable, not only with sufficient light weapons and artillery, but also equipped with combat aircraft and combat vehicles. Even if the Dutch want to attack now, they can't fight with fewer troops, and even if they send out the main force, it will be difficult to break through in a short time. Moreover, they do not have the courage to do so, and do not forget, several cities in the East Indies have been controlled by us, and more than 100,000 Dutch are in our hands. ”

"Hahaha, not bad...... Yuan Shikai stroked his palms and laughed, and then he said meaningfully: "However, Mr. Xin, our enemies in the East Indies are not just Dutch......

"Of course, the reason why we went this time was to restore local law and order and suppress ****** bandits...... Xin Jie certainly knew what he meant, so he sneered: "Of course, our army will resolutely suppress the local bandits, and we must resolutely eliminate them!" However, the task of the army is mainly to fight, and after we destroy the combat capability of the bandits, it is best for other departments to carry out the follow-up screening and punishment work......

His meaning is obvious, it's okay to find our People's Liberation Army in a serious war, but we don't do dirty work. Xin Jie knew very well that that kind of low-intensity law and order warfare or the action of purging the resistance was not suitable for the regular army, because in order for this kind of thing to be effective, it must be shameless, and it needs to do a lot of things without a lower limit. If you want face, then the "Imperial Graveyard" of later generations is the best bolt.

Obviously, Xin Jie doesn't want the PLA to be shameless in pursuing the effect, and he doesn't want to make trouble for himself because he wants face. China wants the East Indies for profit, not to burn money into it.

Mr. Wen also supports this, although with his discipline, he will not require the PLA to maintain the style of "no offense in autumn" in foreign countries, but the bottom line must at least be maintained above the mainstream standards of the armies of all countries in the world today, so that there is a sense of moral superiority. Moreover, the Chinese tradition is very respectful of the "division of the king", the army's discipline is a little higher, it is also convenient to improve the image of the army, and it is also beneficial for the future conquest of the Quartet, not to mention other aspects, at least it can reduce the resistance of the other party, so that the probability of the other side surrendering is much higher than that of those armies that have not gone offline.

Of course, Yuan Datou's mention of yì also has his considerations, knowing that the indigenous population of East India exceeds 50 million, which is very troublesome for future immigration work. Moreover, the virtue of the indigenous people of the East Indies is very clear to everyone, it is a greedy and gluttonous, cruel and stupid existence to the extreme, whether it is the British or the Dutch, these old colonialists cannot be adjusted. In the history of the original plane, even the fierce Japanese could not do anything about them, and even the threat to their lives could not make them diligent. Even if they are lazy, they are still willing to work under the whip, but these Indonesian monkeys are different, even under the bayonet and the muzzle. To put it mildly, these guys aren't even qualified to be slaves.

In the past, although China has also acquired a lot of new territories in other places, it has not been so troublesome, on the one hand, there are not so many natives in those places, and the new management committee can handle it by itself, at most it can be done by dispatching militias and armed immigrants. On the other hand, the indigenous people in those places are not so strange, such as the Ryukyuans, Koreans and Vietnamese, everyone is happy to accept it, and people are willing to work, so far, the integration of people in these three places is very good, and it is estimated that in another one or two generations, they will be completely integrated into the main body of the Han people. It's more difficult for people in other places, but at least they can be reformed through labor. It's not like the Indonesian monkeys, even the labor camp is ineffective.

The big man is now in charge of the new territory, and of course he doesn't want the burden of these cheaters, so he wishes that the army would be ruthless when the chaos is quelled. The less cumbersome, the better, and it would be nice to have none at all. Not only did he think so, but the new management committee and people in many departments had this kind of thinking.

For the small abacus of various departments, Wen Desi is also well aware. So he said: "Vice Premier Yuan, the follow-up screening and punishment work in the East India region will be responsible for students from other departments, you don't have to worry about this...... The PLA is still only responsible for the main battles, so there is no need to participate in this kind of thing. ”

"Mr. Wen, who is responsible?" Yuan Datou hurriedly asked, this matter has a lot to do with him, and it must be clarified.

Wen Desi smiled and said: "This matter is led by the Ministry of Social Affairs of the Central Committee and your new management committee, with the civilian security company as the mainstay, and the armed police and the National Guard force cooperating......

"Can a private security company do this?" the big head was a little confused.

"Yes, civil security companies. Brother Weiting, you have been wandering around various new territories and overseas provinces for a long time, and you really haven't paid much attention to the development of private enterprises in China. Wen Desi smiled and said, "The previous security companies were more conservative and did not expand their business in this area. But now that they have, the new security companies that have been established in the past two years are much more flexible, and they have a lot of experience in this area. For example, the Yuting security company established by Zhang Zuolin, you might as well take a look at their work results......"

The big head said in surprise: "Zhang Zuolin, that Liaoning's beard, isn't he in labor reform, this is coming out?"

Premier Zhang Lizheng smiled: "Yes, it's him." Zhang Zuolin was released because he was active in the labor reform, actively considered the government, and made meritorious contributions, so his sentence was commuted and released. You know this person, not only him, but also some people with similar backgrounds to him, who have also been released with their sentences commuted after their meritorious service awards. Of course, as you know, people like them have no other skills than to fight and kill, and our government of the Socialist Party is a government of the people, and they regained their citizenship after completing their sentences, so we naturally have to consider the issue of employment and life for these people, so we arranged this profession for them according to their strengths......"

"Oh, hahahaha...... That's a good idea!" "The big head is also a smart person, and he understands it as soon as he hears it. This is a "non-governmental organization" and a "dynamic non-governmental organization" that specializes in doing some dirty work that is inconvenient for the military to come out with.

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, many gang members who were very active in the Qing Dynasty, as well as the soldiers and ruffians of the old army, were purged. But everyone knows that Wen always dislikes the use of unskilled means of killing, especially for people in their own country, as long as they don't do too many bad things, and it is intolerable to God, and if they don't kill enough people to be angry, they are all under the punishment of labor reform, but the labor reform time varies from person to person, ranging from half a year to thousands of years. Ahem, you're not mistaken, there are really guys who have been sentenced to thousands of years of labor reform, and as for whether they can live that long, that's another question.

These guys are not guilty to death, but if they have been reformed through labor, it is inevitable that there will be some waste, after all, many of them have a skill, and some of them still want to be a bull fork, and there are not a few guys with miraculous skills. However, the skills of this kind of people are basically in fighting, killing, and killing, and they are used to being casual, and they are not suitable to join the army and organs of New China, and special departments do not need so much. If such unstable elements are placed in society, it will inevitably cause problems, and it will be very difficult for them to engage in normal occupations, and not to mention whether they can do a good job or not, many such people are simply unwilling to engage in normal occupations.

Therefore, after discussing with many henchmen, Wen Desi came up with such a solution. If such unstable elements are brought into such special "non-governmental organizations," they will be able to restrain them and give full play to their strengths, solve their employment problems, and contribute to the country, society, and the people.

That's a good thing. Of course, it is certainly not a good thing for the natives of the new territory, but what does that have to do with Mr. Wen? Who made them disobedient and unacquainted?
