    Log in?  Landing in the colonies of the Netherlands, a neutral country recognized by the world?  !

    Jiang Fangzhen, who was invited to participate in the test flight of Yunhua Aircraft Company's new aircraft, almost jumped up after hearing this. He was not as die-hard as Yue Peng, nor was he like Cheng Biguang who was willing to stop him from walking towards the hangar just to pay for several broken ships.  Yang Qiu and Song Ziqing who went there said: "This is too risky! Sending troops to land is equivalent to declaring war. Not to mention the Netherlands and Britain, I am afraid that they will directly intervene."

    "I know." Yang Qiu ignored him and continued to walk towards the waiting crowd.

    Seeing this, Jiang Fangzhen quickly grabbed Song Ziqing: "Ziqing, what are you Hey! Landing up there will be a big trouble, isn't this just looking for trouble! You can take your time when plotting Borneo. Japan is now desperately building warships, and  Desperately immigrating to Guinea and Rabaul, he has controlled half of the Pacific Islands, but these islands cannot support his needs, so sooner or later he will have to go south! As long as he goes south, British Guinea, Maluku, Sulawesi, Imperial  Wenzhou, Java, Sumatra, Borneo and even Luzon and Malaysia can be sorted out slowly, so why rush it!"

    Song Ziqing glanced at Yang Qiu, who was surrounded by Bayuzao and others, stopped and pulled him aside, took out two cigarettes and said seriously: "Baili, do you think the commander-in-chief is ready to expand?"

    Jiang Fangzhen shook his head.  If Yang Qiu wanted to expand, he would not have deliberately suppressed Army procurement funds for many years, leaving behind the finalized second-generation tanks and a large number of new equipment and only maintaining battalion-level equipment for production and testing.  If you want to expand, you won't build warships slowly.  So far, even the battleship has not been finalized.  Not to mention the air force, Europe and the United States have already built a lot of new aircraft.  Even though the domestic technology is not bad or even exceeds it, a large number of requests cannot be funded.  Just like the Army, dozens of each model are purchased for testing and supplementation.

    Since we don¡¯t want expansion or war, we shouldn¡¯t provoke conflicts!  Jiang Fangzhen took a deep breath of cigarette and was still puzzled.  Seeing this, Song Ziqing continued to explain: "Baili, you only know one but not the other. Since you all know that Japan is definitely going south, let me ask you, once it goes south, how should we stop it? From the nearest Hainan to West Borneo in a straight line  The distance is more than 1,600 kilometers. To occupy the forward base and maintain a fleet and five divisions for combat consumption, it requires about 70 10,000-ton ships to transport back and forth uninterruptedly and store combat supplies for 2 months to sustain a campaign. This distance is too long.  Got it!

    This is from a military perspective as well as economic considerations.  You should know about the second five-year plan that just ended, right?  Except for electricity, it has exceeded the targets set five years ago, but one thing is very bad!  After a large amount of industrial and commercial investment, my country's commodity manufacturing has gradually reached its peak, especially light industry, which has exploded rapidly.  An increase of nearly four times compared to before the European War!  Let me use an analogy. The United States currently produces about 500,000 cars annually. About 10 million of its 100 million people can afford them. Even if they can't afford them, they dare to borrow money to buy them because of their concept.  However, few people in our country have loans to buy cars. Among the 500 million people, the number of people who can afford a car is less than half that in the United States. Therefore, the Commander-in-Chief believes that the next step is to find ways to increase people's income and promote consumption. It is also necessary to  Need to find a new market!  "

    Jiang Fangzhen put out his cigarette butt and said: "You mean to grab a base in Nanyang and turn Nanyang into a dumping ground for our goods? Why choose Borneo? Dumping goods will probably arouse opposition from Britain and the United States, right?"

    Song Ziqing smiled slightly: "Only Borneo is the most chaotic in the whole of Southeast Asia. The British control Sarawak, and East Borneo is basically the territory of Shell. The west is nominally Dutch, but we are Chinese who make up the majority! So the Dutch rule is not fundamental.  Not that deep. In addition, the Dutch government still dare not announce what happened in Lanfang back then. Most people in Europe don¡¯t know about this massacre because they are afraid that we will liquidate it! So what the commander means is to take it step by step. The first step is to make a  Have limited autonomy.

    This time he was going to cause trouble. After forcing the local indigenous people to retreat in the name of protecting overseas Chinese, he immediately withdrew the troops, asked the navy to increase patrols and shouted slogans proposing Chinese autonomy. Then he pretended to have a falling out with President Lebanese and moved to move the capital and amend the constitution.  Let Europe and the United States think that we have too much time to take care of ourselves.  When the Democratic Party merged, they definitely wanted to achieve success.  They will definitely actively lobby Congress to take over the task of negotiating autonomy and take the opportunity to expand their influence.  The Poor Party has also been wooing Hu Hanmin in the hope of getting help to carry out revolution in Nanyang. Both groups will regard Chinese autonomy as a good opportunity to expand revolutionary influence.

    ¡°Besides, do you know how big the impact will be if this thing really succeeds?  The Islamic guerrillas in East India, Annan and Ho Chi Minh, and even India, Malaya, etc. will all follow suit and demand limited autonomy!  Without national strength, not only would this be impossible, but it would also become an excuse for Britain and France to massacre our Chinese people. But now can we really conquer the world with a single Far East fleet?

    Now the total number of Chinese in Nanyang is nearly 8 million, 650,000 in Borneo alone, and more than one million in Singapore, Malaya and Siam. They have actually controlled the entire retail industry from Annan to the farthest Sumatra, as long as they all sell domestic products.  , we can control it overnight??The entire Nanyang merchandise trade.  Europe and the United States will indeed get angry, but as long as we don't touch the United States and deliberately let businessmen sell Chinese and American goods together, will Britain and Francewill they start a war over a few pieces of soap and a few walking tractors?  Nanyang is just a cheap resource place in their eyes, and they have enough dumping grounds.  What's more, the use of domestic products by the Chinese in Nanyang has been increasing year by year in recent years. How much trading power do we Chinese have in Nanyang as a whole?  At this point, Song Ziqing deliberately sneered twice: "If Britain really fights Humph!"  India should not even think about peace. At worst, it would join forces with the Soviet Union and directly carry out revolution and carve up the country!  "

    "Come on, you dare to think about it." Jiang Fangzhen gradually understood that Yang Qiu was going to play the game of killing and not burying him. He used the landing force to deliberately amplify the conflict in Nanyang and fish in troubled waters. After that, he punched Song Ziqing hard and turned to look at a man who was slowly pushing out of the hangar.  He flew a single-wing all-aluminum aircraft and said: "No wonder I saw Li Liejun coming just now. Are you planning to let him pretend to make suggestions and quietly tell Wang Zhaoming to seize the opportunity to take over the Nanyang autonomy negotiations?"

    Song Ziqing did not answer directly, only said: "We want West Borneo, the Democratic Party wants meritthe best of both worlds."

    "What the hell!"

    Jiang Fangzhen twitched his mouth and returned to normal after realizing the truth.  As he wrapped his coat tightly and walked towards the plane, he kept muttering: "The Democratic Party Even if we negotiate autonomy, is it still a wedding dress? To be honest, has someone from the Military Intelligence Bureau already entered? Autonomy requires a escort. I'm afraid  Did you, Song Zi, plan to get a quasi-infantry division over there early in the morning?"

    Yunhua Aircraft Factory¡¯s first all-metal monoplane is entering the countdown, and West Borneo is also in chaos.

    The riots in Singkawang continue.  Both sides of the city in the southeast were occupied by rioting natives shouting for revenge. Hundreds of thousands of Chinese were compressed into settlements near the seaside and unable to leave. The few Chinese ships on the sea were already crowded with people, and ships from other countries were even more rioting.  Weigh anchor and leave as soon as it happens.  The entire city was full of shops that had been looted and smashed open. Although the casualties due to the resistance were not large, the property they had worked hard for for several years made many people cry.  The Dutch mayor of Singkawang has nothing to do about it.  Although the garrison fired warning shots and killed several gangsters, they still could not stop the locals from smashing and looting. Even several people on their own side were injured and two rifles were taken away.

    The butter torches that had been burning all night began to go out. Tens of thousands of Chinese trapped in the west of the city spent the most terrifying night, only to find that the indigenous thugs began to slowly gather again and tried to attack the west of the city.  Hou Minzhu was about to kneel before the Dutch tax officer in the municipal building.  He cried and begged: "Sir, please send troops to drive away those people outside. If this continues, our Chinese people will be in danger of life and death!"

    The tax officer had long since lost the leisure he had when he sent the telegram yesterday. He was sweating profusely as he looked at the thousands of indigenous people occupying the southeastern sides of the city, and he was gnashing his teeth with hatred.  The Netherlands does need local people to balance the Chinese so that the Netherlands can take advantage of the situation, but if all the hard-working Chinese are killed, can so many jobs be run by the lazy people outside?  So while comforting Hou Minzhu, he shouted to the telegraph operator: "Damn it, has the telegram been sent?"

    "Sir, the radio signal is not good, and we can't contact Batavia now." The telegraph operator knew that the matter was urgent, so after finishing speaking, he quickly shied away the responsibility: "This damn weather! Everything is soaked."

    Hearing that the radio could not be sent out, Hou Minzhu became even more anxious and repeatedly requested to send troops.  But the pot-bellied tax collector decisively refused this request, because now he needed to save the Netherlands and foreign expatriates first, and God knew when Batavia would send someone.  Seeing that he could not recruit soldiers, Hou Minzhu suddenly didn't know what to do. He was so anxious that when he wanted to go to Dongwanlu to ask for help, the cry of killing suddenly sounded outside.

    The purpose has long been forgotten.  The thugs, whose eyes were red with the wealth they robbed yesterday, were looking for targets again, using machetes and sticks to try to break open the simple wall built of wood and fences. Hundreds of young people inside the wall led the Chinese people to resist vigorously, and within a few moments they were everywhere.  They were all people who fell to the ground and groaned after being chopped.

    ¡°When we saw that several places were broken through and many Chinese shops were smashed, several dazzling fireballs suddenly exploded from the place where the mob was the densest.  "Boomboom" An explosion like a thunderstorm suddenly sounded from the city. The strong wind from the exploding shells not only killed all the thugs, but also pushed the wooden buildings to the ground.  .

    Shells fell from the sky one after another, and within a few minutes, dozens of plumes of smoke rose from the southeastern sides occupied by the mob.  The thugs, who usually trembled in fear when faced with the rifles of the Dutch army, had never seen the power of naval guns, and they were immediately frightened and fled in all directions.

    "Navy? Haha It must be our damn Mali, only he can be so rude." The Dutch tax officer thought that reinforcements were coming, and excitedly took out the Zeiss telescope that had been treasured for many years from the drawer, but  When he saw the target clearly on the sea, his jaw almost dropped to the ground.

    The naval flag flying highLet me tell everyone again tomorrow that it was a Chinese Navy cruiser that opened fire!  What's even more exaggerated is that a fast motorboat has arrived at the dock carrying more than a dozen Chinese navy soldiers, and they are quickly coming ashore.

    "It's the Navy, our Navy!"

    "The Navy is coming!" Cheers suddenly erupted from the south of the city. Countless Chinese people ran to tell each other and shouted with joy. They stood on the roof with tears in their hands and waved to the Hunhe light cruiser, which opened fire on the sea. When more than a dozen Marines  After the helmeted men arrived in the city and used machine guns to disperse the mob, they received the most enthusiastic shouts.

    For how many years, the Chinese people in Nanyang have been bullied and slaughtered, and the wealth created by their hands has been taken away again and again with guns and knives like cutting leeks!  At this time, everyone fantasizes that the Ancestral Army will come to protect themselves, but the Manchu and Qing government's indifference during the Lanfang tragedy completely chilled everyone's hearts.  But it¡¯s different now!  Not only are the troops coming, but also warships are coming!

    Unlike the cheering Chinese, the Dutch tax officials and the soldiers stationed here looked at each other.  It seems like this is my own colony!  Could it be that a war has already begun?
