On 25 September 1925, the Dutch Viceroy of the East Indies, Dirk, issued martial law to the East Indies, requiring all natives who were subject to Dutch rule to stay in their cities and not to travel to other cities under any pretext.

Those who did not obey this order were considered rioters, and the Dutch army could kill them without following any orders.

It was also on this day that the Dutch and indigenous armies engaged in a fierce battle outside the city of Batavia, and the artillery fire on both sides was so loud that if you didn't look closely, you really thought it was a great battle.

But the actual scene of the battle made many intelligence officers in Australasia a little staggered.

This two sides are not so much fierce engagements as simple slaughter of one side against the other.

The divisions stationed in Batavia were still relatively level, and their combat effectiveness in frontal defense far exceeded that of the attacking indigenous army.

If it weren't for the fact that there were too many natives, I am afraid that the offensive and defensive situation on both sides would change in an instant, and the Dutch army would have become the one to counterattack.

It was also at this time that Muhammad received orders from the governor of Dirk, and the army was stationed in the southeast of Batavia, which became the second line of defense from outside Batavia to the city.

Although Muhammad's army was allowed to participate in this offensive and defensive battle, Governor Dirk also had a heart and did not allow Muhammad to be stationed at the front line in case he would gain too much merit in the war.

This also placed Muhammad's army halfway between Batavia and the front line, where it could quickly support the front line, but it could also quickly withdraw to the city.

Muhammad did not know what Governor Dirk was thinking, but after it was determined that he had defected to the indigenous side, Muhammad did not care about such exclusion.

Even thinking about it, it is beneficial to be stationed in the middle of the front line and Batavia. Governor Dirk was greedy and sent most of his army to the front line to defend, and the defense in Batavia was very weak.

As the closest army to Batavia, under the premise that the indigenous army attracted most of the attention of the Dutch army, Muhammad had a bold idea, that is, to directly raid Batavia, take control of the Dutch East Indian government, and then surround the Dutch army on the front line with the native army, and completely defeat the Dutch colonial government.

Although the idea seems very crazy, the slightest mistake could lead to a siege by the Dutch army.

But this was no longer a fear for Muhammad, who aspired to become the ruler of the indigenous people, and how could he realize his ambitions without experiencing great risks?

Thinking that he was about to do it, Muhammad immediately picked up a map of the city near Batavia.

Although it is not clear what the exact position of the Governor Dirk was, it is clear how many troops there were in Batavia, and how many lines of defense they were in Mehmed.

The garrison army in Batavia was about two divisions, a brigade and a small number of governors' guards. Both divisions were sent to the front, and Muhammad's own army was that brigade.

This also meant that a small number of Governor Dirk's guards could be quickly defeated, and the situation in Batavia could be quickly controlled.

In order to ensure that nothing was wrong, Muhammad urgently contacted Eric and asked for some weapons and equipment support.

Of course, there was no shortage of ordinary weapons for Muhammad. The support of the weapons and equipment he asked for was actually some heavy firepower weapons.

In the worst-case scenario, if the sneak attack on Batavia fails, relying on these heavy firepower weapons, gather all the indigenous armies, and fight another offensive and defensive battle.

This is also Muhammad's real thought, no matter what, to capture Batavia, then if the sneak attack can be successful, it is natural to avoid casualties as much as possible.

As for the degree of control over the army, Muhammad was relatively reassured. Because of their own ostracism, Muhammad's army was also slightly dissatisfied with Governor Dirk.

What's more, there were very few purebred Dutch in this army, more of a mix of Dutch and indigenous descent, and some natives who seemed loyal to the Netherlands.

As their commander-in-chief, Muhammad was discriminated against, not to mention that these were mexides of ordinary soldiers and junior officers.

If it weren't for Muhammad's constant suppression, I am afraid that this army would have erupted in discontent and mutiny.

Now, if Muhammad were to announce a counterattack on Batavia, at least half of the population would support Muhammad's decision.

As for the rest, as long as the Dutch are allowed to leave, I believe that the other mestizos and natives will have a more intelligent idea.

In order to conquer Batavia as soon as possible, Eric was very supportive of Muhammad, and soon transported a batch of heavy weapons, including 20 artillery pieces and 20 heavy machine guns, including a machine gun developed by Australasia itself, which was completely sufficient for fire suppression.

On 28 September, the natives on the periphery launched a fierce attack on the defensive positions in Batavia. Because of the demands of the Australasian side, the indigenous army almost poured out, and more than 40,000 troops charged towards the front line.

A full-scale offensive by the natives also required attention for the Dutch army. Even 40,000 pigs would have to be slaughtered for a while, let alone more than 40,000 living people.

Although the natives were at an overall disadvantage in terms of firepower, most Dutch soldiers were conservative and were reluctant to stick their heads out most of the time.

A few kilometers away, after hearing the heavy artillery fire and gunfire from the front line, Muhammad's heart moved, he looked at several of his henchmen, pretended to be sad, and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, the front line is hot, but we can only watch here. I'm afraid that when this war is over, we may not be able to fire a shot, so should the half-breed people be discriminated against like this? ”

These henchmen are also half-breeds, and for those Orthodox Dutch, they look down on these half-breeds who are combined with the natives.

Even if it's not the fault of those half-breeds, who made their elders choose to be mixed-blood?

Seeing that several of his henchmen were also obviously dissatisfied with Governor Dirk's arrangement, Muhammad continued: "Ladies and gentlemen, do you want to continue to be discriminated against by the damned Governor Dirk, or do you want to find a new route to make our name resounding in this land and change our current situation?" ”

Hearing Muhammad say this, several of his henchmen were obviously loyal and bold, and they hurriedly said without any concern: "General, just say, what do you want us to do?" ”

"How about a sneak attack on Batavia, a siege of the Dutch with the native army, and a country of our own?" Muhammad carefully watched the reaction of his henchmen and said word by word.

"Raid on Batavia?" No matter how loyal these henchmen were, they could not help but be amazed by Muhammad's audacity.

This also means that they will completely break away from Dutch rule, and their identity in the Netherlands will be completely abandoned.

"What? Don't you dare? Muhammad smiled and asked: "If you don't dare, you can leave now, and I won't stop you."

But I hope you don't stop me when I act, I don't want to fight with you. ”

"It's not that you don't dare, General." One of the henchmen hurriedly explained: "What if we betray the Dutch and are retaliated against by the Dutch?

Even if we were able to establish an indigenous state, we would not be able to resist the Netherlands and the powers behind it. ”

This is actually what many henchmen are worried about. Although the Netherlands was not strong, it was able to win the support of some great powers.

Moreover, if they betrayed the Netherlands openly, they would be disgusted in the eyes of those great powers, and even if they could establish a new state, they would not go far.

"I've thought about this for a long time." Muhammad smiled and said, "Eric is an intelligence officer of the Royal Security Service in Australasia, let him explain it to you!" ”

Hearing Muhammad's words, Eric walked in through the door, bowed very gentlemanly to the crowd, and then introduced himself with a smile: "Everyone, allow me to introduce myself briefly.

My name is Eric and I'm an intelligence officer with the Royal Security Service of Australasia. I understand your concerns, but rest assured that under the protection of Australasia, you will not be subject to any retaliation from the Netherlands.

All your family members in the Netherlands will be safely transferred by us, and you will not have to worry about the hostility of the Dutch being transferred to your family.

At the same time, we support you in the establishment of a new indigenous State. As long as the interests of this country do not conflict with Australasia, you can count on Australasia's strong support. ”

Australasia's revenge is not taken seriously by Australasia, and it is very easy to take a few ordinary people from the Netherlands.

What's more, most of the families of these mulattoes themselves are in the Dutch East Indies, which is the real reason why they became mulattoes.

After all, if you settled in the Dutch East Indies, it is not surprising that you sometimes mix with the natives.

Although the Dutch are known for their misogynism towards indigenous people, this does not prevent some Dutch people from coveting the beauty of certain indigenous women.

Hearing Eric say this, many of his henchmen turned their eyes to Muhammad and said, "Do it! Checkmate. ”

With the support of all his henchmen, Muhammad was in a noticeably better mood, and with a wave of his hand, he began to formulate a policy: "According to my investigation and understanding, the army in Batavia is now less than a thousand men, and it is scattered all over the city.

From here we went straight to Batavia, and there was basically no Dutch army encountered. As long as we enter Batavia and conquer the few hundred troops of the colonial government and the Viceroyalty, we will no longer be hindered in our occupation of Batavia.

As long as Batavia could be captured before the Dutch army on the front line could react, victory in the war would have become inevitable. ”
