Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    On the boat back to Borneo, Zhuang Meisheng still didn't understand why Marin was killed.  Because as far as he knew, Marin was the main leader of the East India gc alliance. This person was crucial to stimulating the revolutionary movement in East India, so he was very surprised by Xiao Jinyun's actions and origins.

    Xiao Jinyun is not someone who appears out of nowhere, he is Xiao Anguo's nephew.  Before the European War, he studied at the German Army Academy. After the war broke out, he joined the German Army according to the agreement and was sent to fight on the Western Front.  Together with Liu Mingzhao, Long Yun, Dongfang Chen and Lu Han, they repeatedly made military exploits and were received and awarded by the Kaiser. They were hailed as the "German Nine" by the military.  After returning to China, Liu Mingzhao and Long Yun went to the frontline troops for training, and others also served as foreign military attach¨¦s stationed in the world. Xiao Jinyun served as military attache in Turkey for three years. Since most of his dealings were with Islamic and Arab countries, he took up a military post after leaving office.  Chief of the Malayan Station of the Intelligence Bureau.

    As for Xiao Jinyun¡¯s approach, it was even simpler, because Ma Lin was the first revolutionary to join the East India Islamic League as a party member and had a wide base of friends within the alliance.  If he dies, it will definitely arouse the common hatred of the East Indian gc alliance and the Islamic alliance against the Dutch colonists. Moreover, if he continues to live, it is likely that Xiao Jinyun's identity will be exposed. After all, he has been in the Nanyang region for many years and has great influence.  , which is very unfavorable for follow-up actions.

    After listening to the introduction, Zhuang Meisheng completely understood that Yang Qiu was probably not just creating a crisis to force the British and Dutch to bow. He was using the opportunity of the riots to infiltrate a group of people into the East India gc alliance and the Islamic alliance!

    Dai Yunong regretted that as the person in charge of East India, he had to watch this drama, but there was nothing he could do about it.  Although the activities of the three major domestic intelligence agencies in Nanyang are secretive.  But the opponent is not a vegetarian, especially after Sumatra. The British intelligence agency keeps a close eye on the East Indies. No matter how secretive it is, it will leave traces. That's why the higher-ups decided to mobilize Xiao Jinyun, who was active in the peninsula.

    Zhuang Meisheng did not return to Pontianak with Dai Yunong, but got off the ship in Batavia to ask for help from an old friend.  The atmosphere in Batavia Port was tense at this time. The British Royal Navy battleship HMS Repulse and five warships anchored outside the port for day and night protection.  Opposite them.  The battlecruiser Dinghai, the heavy cruiser Sakhalin and the training aircraft carrier Tannu Uryanghai were just 40 kilometers away. The carrier-based aircraft also flew by the edge of Batavia harbor from time to time, adding to the tension.  atmosphere.

    The streets and alleys are full of patrol police and colonial troops.  The harbor fortress was on standby 24 hours a day, and anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns urgently sent from Singapore were set up at high altitudes. This high-intensity preparation state that had not been seen in decades made the Dutch soldiers complain endlessly.

    Although the confrontation between China and Britain is tense.  However, the navies of both sides have maintained a minimum of restraint to ease the atmosphere in the ongoing Sino-Dutch West Borneo crisis consultations in the city.

    However, the negotiations reached a deadlock from the beginning. Nanjing's conditions seemed simple. It handed over the murderer and paid US$15 million in compensation. At the same time, in order to prevent such incidents from happening again in the future, it requested that West Borneo (including Natuna, then the Natuna Islands  Under the jurisdiction of West Borneo) Chinese autonomy allowed the formation of public escorts to cooperate with the East India Police and the Dutch garrison to ensure the security of the area.

    There is no problem in handing over the murderer. Batavia has successively sent about 1,500 soldiers to West Borneo.  Almost half of the Batavia garrison has been evacuated, and more than 400 thugs have been arrested.  The compensation figure is a bit high but not unbearable, but this autonomy is too harmful!  After the discovery of the Sumatra oil fields, countless private individuals and companies from various countries came to East India to explore. There are as many as 40 companies from China and Japan alone exploring mineral resources in Borneo, Sumatra and Sulawesi.  Coupled with the influx of forces from Britain, France, the United States and other countries, the entire East India has long been in chaos.

    Hundreds of companies with complex power backgrounds emerged overnight, leaving the Dutch government speechless and unable to explain its suffering. The only blame is that Britain acquiesced in the China Gulf Oil Company, but it can't fall out with its allies, right?  So many forces have come in, plus the local Islamic Alliance, the East India GC Alliance, the Chinese and the increasing number of Japanese.  It would be strange not to be upset.  But the troubles are all troubles. At least these people all recognize the neutral status of the Netherlands and the East Indies as a Dutch colony. The tax certificates that should be paid are paid correctly, and cooperation is done when cooperation is needed. Everyone will get rich.

    At this time, Yang Qiu suddenly used the riot to ask the Netherlands to grant autonomy to the Chinese in West Borneo!  This is no small trouble.  Although East India also has a parliament, it is just a decoration to satisfy the desire of the indigenous people to participate in politics.  The Chinese Autonomous Region is different!  Today's China is not the Manchu government. The navy is second-rate in the eyes of Europe and the United States, but it is dozens of times stronger than the Netherlands. Just like Spain and the United States back then. The two countries are not rivals of the same order of magnitude. If given autonomy, West Borneo  It is bound to become an outpost for China to penetrate Borneo and even East India.

    If the Chinese in Borneo can be autonomous, does that mean that Java can be autonomous and Sumatra can also be autonomous??Even Malaya and Annan can be autonomous!  If the revolutionary flames burn to Malaya or even Burma and India, then the great Soviets can take advantage of the situation and go south to seize India. Even if they cannot seize it, they can develop southward, break through the imperialist encirclement, and realize the gc international's dream of promoting the world workers' revolution!

    Thinking of these, Wei Jingsky was filled with excitement. If he could take the opportunity to promote the revolutionary wave in Nanyang, wouldn't it mean that the imperialist encirclement would be smashed by his own hands?  !

    "It should be started immediately."

    A secluded room in Batavia Port was darkly packed with Poor Party activists from all over the Dutch East Indies.  After a large number of Dutch troops went to Borneo, they all saw the hope of launching a revolution, so they gathered here to discuss countermeasures.

    Vyjingsky sat in the middle, as if possessed by Lenin before the October Revolution, and delivered an impassioned revolutionary speech: "Comrades, let me tell you some good news! Comrade Stalin, the great leader of all Soviets, has called me back and agreed to our  Launch a workers' and peasants' uprising across East India! Now China and Britain and the Netherlands are fighting dogs, and the troops have been mobilized to Borneo. This is our best opportunity! Look around us, workers are homeless, farmers have no land of their own, colonization  The perpetrators are madly plundering the property that should belong to the people! At this time, we should take the initiative to stand up and assume the responsibility of gcists, just like the great October Revolution, overthrow the colonial rule and establish the proletarian dictatorship of East India."

    The highly inflammatory words triggered strong applause, and only Marin, who was sitting next to him, frowned secretly.  Because he was a follower of Tonotsky, he was dissatisfied with Vyzhinsky regarding Stalin as the only Soviet leader.  But he has no time to refute now. After all, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for East India. He believes that internal conflicts can be reconciled through dialogue. The most important thing now is to launch a revolution.

    Although the two men vowed repeatedly that Moscow would support the East Indian Revolution, the local party members present were still worried.  Samin was the earliest party member in East India and the initiator of the Samin movement 19 years ago. After the failure, he was exiled to Banda Aceh. It was not until recently that he quietly returned to Batavia with everyone's help.  After so many years of reflection, he understood the importance of armed force, so he was very worried about the insufficient strength in his hands: "Comrade Marin, Comrade Vyjingsky. Our strength is too insufficient. If we rely solely on ourselves, we may not be able to defeat the colonists who are armed with live ammunition.  Should we send someone to contact the Islamic League?¡±

    Five years ago, the East India Communist League and the Islamic League briefly cooperated. However, due to religious extremists' ban on cross-party affiliation, party members withdrew from the Islamic League. Since then, the relationship between the two has not been very good.  The gc alliance looks down on the extremely closed Islamic alliance, and the latter also dislikes them, but now is the best time to launch a revolution across East India, so they have to be considered.

    However, Vyjingsky did not want to contact the Islamic League with its narrow-minded ultra-national ideas. He said: "I don't think it is necessary to contact them. Now we have veterans who participated in the brutal Far East War and the support of a large number of workers and peasants. Recently we also purchased from Japan  Many weapons are already powerful enough.¡±

    Marin objected and looked at him and said: "I think the opinions of Comrade Vijingsky, Comrade Samin and Comrade East India are very important. Although we have rifts with the Islamic League, everyone's original intention is to expel the colonial  They contributed to the East Indian national rebellion. They also have the fighters we need most, so why not try to resolve them?"

    "Comrade Marin, their ideas are incompatible with gcism, and it is a wrong decision to let them join."

    ¡°For the sake of the national liberation movement, I think all internal contradictions can be put aside for the time being, and I believe they think so too.¡±

    Seeing the two people arguing with each other, Samin and other local party members were afraid of a quarrel and came up with another idea: "Then can we contact the Chinese or Japanese? They have a large number of expats here and are also oppressed by the colonizers."

    Marin said: "Comrade Weijingsky and I have contacted the Chinese Democratic Party. They are willing to financially support our anti-Japanese movement, but now that they are confronting the British and Dutch, I am afraid they have no extra energy. As for Japan  .I think they can join in, but not right now.¡±

    "That's bad. Although the Dutch soldiers have gone to reinforce West Borneo, there are still about 1,500 soldiers and 800 policemen in Batavia, and British warships are also outside. Our strength is seriously insufficient." Samin analyzed:  "We have observed that if we want to succeed, we need to attack the fortress and police station first, and occupy the Governor's Palace. These are heavily defended places and require more forces to join!"

    Vyjingsky also knows the difficulty. What he can rely on now are the more than 100 veterans who fought with Shumiartsky and evacuated here from the Far East. The combat effectiveness of these veterans can be guaranteed, but the number is too small.  There is a British fleet outside and about 10,000 hostile and armed European and American expatriates inside, so it is really lacking in strength.  horseSeeing what he was thinking, he stood up and said firmly: "Comrade Vijingsky, please contact the Democratic Party to ask how their negotiations with Batavia are going, and see if you can get support. I and Islam  The alliance is relatively familiar with them, so I will go to Surabaya to ask them to put aside their prejudices and join the revolutionary movement.¡±

    Seeing that he could not be persuaded, Wijingski had to agree to let the Islamic Alliance join if they were willing to abandon their prejudices. Then he took out the Batavia military defense map that he had prepared and studied in detail the steps and time for launching a revolution
