Chapter 356 Sino-Dutch Taipei Agreement
PS: There is a map update in the post bar, and the ticket is asked for at the end of the month......
......................................................
On January 8, 1918, after more than half a month of squabbling, China and Portugal signed the Sino-Portuguese Agreement on Canton, transferring the sovereignty of East Timor to China at a price of 5 million Chinese dollars. If the Dutch are now in decline, Portugal is now a third-rate country. After the Chinese army entered East Timor using the "wrong map", they did not even have the slightest power to resist.
Three days later, on January 11, China and the Netherlands signed the Sino-Dutch Taipei Agreement, cessating hostilities. Well, there was no "hostility" last month, because the Dutch army in the East Indies was either wiped out on the battlefield or in a prisoner of war camp.
Wen Desi put the place where this contract was signed in Taipei, obviously with the intention of retaliating for the Dutch invasion of Taiwan, but now the Dutch have been beaten to the point that they have lost their temper, and Boss Niu has made it clear that he can't control this matter. So even if they knew it was, they had to pinch their noses and eat it.
In the "Taipei Treaty", China and the Netherlands jointly affirmed that the Chinese army entered the East Indies to maintain order, and because the two sides had problems in communication, there were some small "misunderstandings" between the two armies, and some "friction" occurred, and now that the misunderstanding has been eliminated, the two sides will naturally cease fire.
The Dutch government announced that because the Netherlands was now limited in its national strength and could not maintain order in the East Indies, it had decided to sell all the sovereignty of the Dutch East Indies to China for 300 million Chinese dollars.
However, this money is only stored on paper, and the Netherlands will not get it.
Because they have to take responsibility for the demise of the "Republic of Lanfang" and many other Chinese countries and publicly apologize publicly, and publicly apologize internationally for the "Hongxi Massacre" and other many violent incidents against the Chinese, and at the same time pay compensation to China for these things. In addition, there were prisoners of war, nay, the living and management expenses of Dutch armed personnel in the Chinese barracks "during the exchange of the parties". and the compensation for the losses brought to the Chinese army due to the "misunderstanding and firefight" above, which totaled 330 million Chinese dollars. That's right, they still have to find 30 million Chinese dollars in China.
Then some of the captured and surrendered ships of the Dutch Far East Fleet were resold to the British, including three Dutch monarch-class super dreadnoughts, four Sumatra-class light cruisers, and two Brioc-class destroyers, for a total of 40 million Chinese dollars. After this money was handed over to China as compensation, China supplied the Netherlands with another 10 million Chinese dollars. Subsequently, the British commissioned China to repair the ships, and then they sent people to pick up the goods after they were completed.
This is also a piece of the pie for the United Kingdom, at this time, the price of 40 million Chinese dollars can not buy three Dutch monarch-class, not to mention the repair costs, Niu Niu picked up the cheap this time. Although the Dutch monarch class is a super dreadnought-class battleship, it is too slow, the armor is not good, and its various designs are also backward compared to Chinese ships. Now the vision of the Chinese Navy is high, but it is not the kind of sling wire that used to hold a few broken ships as treasures, and it didn't look down on this thing at all.
According to the words of Gao Yujie, commander of the Pacific Fleet: "After the repair of these Dutch ships, they are only suitable for being placed on the second line as training ships, just like the Hanoi." It was with this in mind that China acceded to the British request to sell them several warships that had taken prisoners. After the home fleet hit the streets, Niu Niu approached the Netherlands and wanted to buy these battleships, but the Netherlands refused at that time, and Britain couldn't force it too hard. But now it's different, the Netherlands was beaten by China and its nose was swollen, so these ships had to be given to Britain as a price for mediation, and the British didn't ask for it in vain, they gave money.
At this moment, China swallowed the whole of the Dutch East Indies and East Timor, and ate with a mouth full of oil and happiness. What's more, during the suppression of indigenous rebellions in the East Indies, as many as 140,000 Dutch immigrants were rescued, and the live videos of the interviews with Dutch immigrants and other live videos taken on the scene have also been sent to major countries for repeated broadcasts.
As a result, the Chinese government and the People's Liberation Army have gained a great reputation in the public opinion circles in Europe and the United States, and have gained a lot of prestige. At present, whether the Entente, the Central Powers or the major neutral countries, both official and non-governmental, have praised the Chinese People's Liberation Army as "a knightly army with noble character." The domestic media is even more full of propaganda, and the title of "the teacher of the king and the teacher of benevolence and righteousness" is already a certainty, which can be said to make a lot of money. The good foundation of public opinion minimized the negative impression of China's annexation of the Dutch East Indies.
And the British, having got the much-needed battleships, were also happy. Then the Dutch were unhappy, they lost the whole Dutch East Indies, and now it can be said that they "returned to the pre-liberation period overnight", and suddenly became a third-rate country. Moreover, the Dutch government not only has to scold it, but also has to express its public thanks to the Chinese government for the People's Liberation Army to save their immigrants, which is really an indescribable grievance. This situation has also caused the Dutch people to have very conflicting views on China.
What made the Dutch vomit blood the most was that the loss of the East Indies was not over. After China's occupation of the East Indies, the United States, which was making a good fortune in Africa, also saw that it was cheap. They sent troops last Christmas and laughed at all the Dutch colonies in the Americas, including Dutch Guiana (Suriname), the Netherlands Antilles and Aruba. Well, the Americans also came up with an excuse to "prevent the Allies from using these places."
It is said that Queen Wilhelmina, who fainted after learning of the fall of the East Indies, fainted again after learning that the bald eagle had taken advantage of the fire to rob.
............................................................
At a press conference after the signing of the agreement, a reporter asked whether China was prepared to deal with Dutch immigrants from the Dutch East Indies.
"As members of the civilized world, we do not exclude Dutch immigrants from settling in the East Indies, but only if they become Chinese nationals. Yes, we will give them enough time to think about it. We gave the deadline of March 20 and they had 100 days to think about where to go. For Dutch immigrants who do not want to become Chinese nationals, we will buy their real estate at the local market price and give them a certain amount of compensation. Dutch immigrants who have become our citizens will enjoy the same rights as our citizens......"
Foreign Ministry spokesman Gu Weijun said at a press conference.
As for what will happen to the natives of the East Indies, no one cares, in the eyes of today's mainstream European and American society, those Indonesian monkeys are not human at all, and whether they live or die has nothing to do with them. What's more, there is also the revelations in China, when the major media published those indigenous atrocities in the form of videos and photos, the whole white society was outraged.
Otherwise, the European war is still really fierce at this time, and they will all have to organize crusades. A large number of European and American media and celebrities have spoken out to demand that China severely suppress and punish the indigenous thugs. The kind of "White Left Madonna" in the original time and space and later generations, there are not many that can be found in this era. As for public opinion in China, not to mention, there are one-sided demands for severe punishment of the indigenous mob, not to mention that there are many Chinese among the victims. Although these people were originally opposed to the CSD, since they were almost dead, Wen Deji did not care about the previous political differences, and also promoted them as victims.
Of course, Wen Desi has never advocated more killing, except for those typical cases with conclusive evidence and heinous crimes, which need to be dragged out to be punished. The death penalty will not be imposed for those who commit lesser crimes. Of course, if they violently resist the law and resist arrest by force, that is a different matter. As everyone knows, Wen Desi is an extra-large "cent", and he has always admired the law enforcement style of the American police, and he believes that the practice of shooting directly at the first sight is the most royal law enforcement style. My eldest sister, you deserve to be the hope of mankind!
He has always hated the practice of "equipping the police with a small gun that can't even kill a rabbit" in a certain country in later generations, and once the gun is fired, he has to write a report and be sprayed indiscriminately by countless media, and he believes that it simply does not take the lives of people at the grassroots level seriously. Therefore, China's law enforcement style is completely close to that of the United States, and anyone who dares to violently resist the law and resist arrest by force will definitely be shot to death indiscriminately.
In addition, there is absolutely no brain-dead law such as the "Juvenile Crime Protection Law" in China, and the absolute exemption age of the criminal law is 7 years old, and the partial exemption age is 10 years old, which means that if a child who has reached the age of 10 years old, as long as he violates the death penalty, he will also be shot. As for the upper limit of the age of exemption, there is no upper limit, even if it is a thousand years old, as long as the crime is punished. Wen Desi is absolutely not allowed to save the article that the little scum and the old scum commit crimes but are not punished.
Of course, since there are only age restrictions, there is no such thing as "immunity for mental illness crimes". There is also a completely different point from the criminal law of later generations that the Chinese law at this level strongly supports legitimate defense and righteous courage, and the threshold of "excessive defense" is quite high, as long as it does not harm the innocent in the process of defense, or torture and killing, it is legal. As long as they are illegally violated, they can bomb and kill criminals on the spot without fear of punishment. To the original time and future generations of those such as "the victim injured the robber in defense, but he wanted to lose money". Nothing will happen in this plane, let alone just an injury, even if it is killed on the spot, it is legal, not only will it not lose money, but it will be commended and given a bonus by the government.
Because in Wen Desi's view, in order to satisfy their selfish interests, some scum in the legal profession in the original time and space and later generations have formulated a lot of evil laws to "protect criminals", and this completely ****** practice is extremely disgusting to Wen Desi. Therefore, in China, there are no human rights for anyone who engages in vicious crimes. Therefore, in New China, anyone who dares to advocate such remarks as "abolishing the death penalty" and "protecting the human rights of criminals" will be sent to labor reform for "****** crimes." If the circumstances are serious, they will be sent to labor reform to death.
Yes, China's criminal law is extremely severe, not only the punishment is extremely severe, but also corporal punishments such as whipping and palace punishment, the former for misdemeanors, and the latter for sexual crimes that are serious but not worthy of the death penalty. In addition, the fine tradition of Zhulian has been retained, and all those who enjoy the dividends of crime must be punished, and there is no such thing as only compensating thieves for eating meat and not compensating thieves for being beaten. The family members of those who did not participate in the crime, but who have enjoyed the dividends of the crime, will be punished as one level lower than the accomplice in this case, and only those relatives who have not enjoyed the dividends of the crime can be exempted from the crime. (According to the Chinese tradition of "the gentleman's ze, the fifth generation and beheaded", Zhulian is only suitable for the fifth degree of kin.) )
If it is put into the future generations, it will definitely be criticized by those scum of the legal profession and the Holy Mother as "not human rights and inhumane". Well, this is also something that can't be helped, Mr. Wen's thinking is more biased towards Legalism. As for those who are not convinced, he will only say, "If you don't accept you, come and beat me", or then rebel and kill Wen Deji like the brave defeated the Great Demon King, and then the law can be formulated according to their ideas.
In such a legal atmosphere, there are naturally a large number of indigenous thugs who have been killed for violently resisting the law and resisting arrest by force, and there are also many indigenous thugs who have been killed or injured by citizens' self-defense.
As for the indigenous thugs who did not resist arrest or were not killed in the process of resisting arrest, they were sent to the local courts for trial and screening, and those who should be killed were put to a referendum and sentenced to justice, and those who did not deserve to die were sent to various labor camps for labor reform.
Those Indonesian natives who did not participate in the riots and were more honest were gathered together and sent to "labor camps" for "labor re-education". That's right, it's just "re-education through labor", not "re-education through labor", not serving a prison sentence. China is a country governed by the rule of law, and it will not allow people who have not committed crimes to serve their sentences.
Gu Weijun told reporters: "In order to improve the civilization of the local indigenous people, and in order to let them enter the civilized society as much as possible, we have specially set up a labor re-education school for them. We believe that it would be inhumane to leave anyone in the darkness before civilization. Therefore, we decided to adopt an intensive learning approach to help the indigenous peoples of the East Indies quickly enter the civilized society. In the labor camp, they will do their best to master the language and labor skills of the civilized world, and contribute to the civilized society......"
To further inquiries from reporters, he replied as follows: "As for the arrangement of the course. We will first teach them Chinese, language is a tool for communication, language is not able to communicate, their language is too primitive and backward, so we must first learn the language of civilization. When they are proficient in Chinese, it is time for them to train their work ability. If they want to live in a civilized society in the future, they must master and adapt to the work skills of a civilized society, otherwise how can they support themselves? We believe that the reason why they have riots is that they lack the necessary survival skills, and if they can support themselves by decent work, it will not be easy for them to become criminals. Of course, there are all kinds of other professional knowledge to be learned, including mathematics, physics, chemistry and other modern sciences......"
The media in China, Europe and the United States have been amazed by the Chinese government's efforts to transform the primitive indigenous people.
At this point, China acquired all of the Dutch East Indies and East Timor, expanding its territory to 15.58 million square kilometers and a population of nearly 600 million.
PS: The idea for "RTL" came from "1855 American Tycoon" by "Bottle Fighter", and I think it's a great idea! ^_^
