    After the Moroccan crisis ended, Europe temporarily calmed down.  The signing of the "Final Agreement" has guaranteed the interests of France and Germany in Morocco to a certain extent.  However, it can be seen from the contents of the "Final Agreement" that France still has a clear advantage in Morocco, and most of Morocco's interests belong to France.  In comparison, Germany is at a disadvantage.  However, Morocco's debt will not be unrecoverable, nor will it cause Germany too much loss.  In addition, the "Final Agreement" stipulated that all countries recognize the independence of Morocco, which also shattered France's ambition to turn Morocco into a French protectorate and curbed France's expansion to a certain extent.

    The conflict between France and Germany slowly returned to normal as the Moroccan crisis resolved.  However, the troops mobilized by the German Army have not been disbanded, and many troops have been deployed on the German-French border, which has put great pressure on France, forcing France to increase its military investment.  At the same time, other member states of the Allied Powers and the Entente Powers also saw the danger of war, and began to carry out secret mobilization to ensure that they would not be in a hurry after the sudden outbreak of war!

    Ordinary European people are still celebrating the end of the conflict between France and Germany.  But politicians in various countries are worried.  Everyone knows very well that Germany's concession this time is not because it is afraid of France or the Allies, but because Germany is not ready for war.  Once Germany is ready, I am afraid that no one will be able to prevent the outbreak of war!  therefore.  Countries have also accelerated their preparations for war.  A large amount of manpower, material and financial resources have all been invested in preparations for war!

    ??Especially Germany.  In order to ensure that after the war started and the sea transportation lines were cut off, they could persist. Before the war broke out, a large amount of rare metals and other strategic materials were ordered from China.  This directly caused the trade volume between China and Germany to increase steadily.  Of course, because the war required too many supplies, Germany did not have enough financial resources to purchase these things.  then.  They can only offer some precious technologies in exchange.  For example, Mercedes-Benz's latest internal combustion engine technology, Krupp's new armor steel and artillery technology, Carl Zeiss' optical instruments, etc.  These are technologies that China usually wants Germany to transfer, but Germany refuses to transfer.  But now, Germany has taken the initiative to send it to China, which makes China very satisfied.  These technologies, whether used for civilian or military purposes, will improve China's industrial strength.  All of great help.  For Germany, winning the war was the most important thing.  If you lose the battle, it will be useless to have these technologies!

    After Europe returned to calm, China¡¯s attention began to shift from Europe back to Asia.  China is also actively developing its industry domestically and preparing for war at the same time.  only.  This does not mean that China has stopped expanding.  There is still a big piece of fat on China's lips, waiting for China to swallow it!

    Most of the territory in Southeast Asia has been occupied by China, except for the Dutch East Indies.  The rest of the territory was annexed to China.  Indochina became the Indochina Province of China.  The original Philippine colonies and British Malaya and other places.  It became Nanyang Province.  However, compared with Central and South Province, Nanyang Province is much smaller in terms of population and area.  However, if the Dutch are driven away from the Dutch East Indies and then annexed, then Nanyang Province will be considered complete!

    China has been coveting the Dutch East Indies for a long time.  However, although the Kingdom of the Netherlands is only a small country, China only needs to use one little finger to wipe out the Dutch power in the Indonesian archipelago.  But the Netherlands not only has good relations with Germany, but also has good relations with the United Kingdom.  Without a suitable excuse, it will not be easy for China to annex the Indonesian archipelago.  What's more, the Kingdom of the Netherlands also knows that China is powerful. After China revealed its ambitions for the Indonesian Islands, the Indonesian Governor-General made a lot of preparations and greatly improved the status and treatment of the Chinese.  The Dutch Indonesian army and police no longer dared to embarrass the Chinese, but instead provided a large amount of protection to the Chinese.  This gives China even more excuses to take action against Dutch Indonesia!

    However, if there is no opportunity, then create an opportunity.  Can a living person still be choked to death by peeing?  China cannot let go of Indonesia's rich resources, such as oil, tin, copper and other mineral resources, as well as rice, rubber and other agricultural resources.

    After the imperial emperor Wang Yuze gave the order, the General Staff and the Military Intelligence Bureau immediately took action in Indonesia.  The Dutch government and the Indonesian Governor-General were completely unaware of this.  They also thought that China really did not dare to take action against Germany and the United Kingdom for the sake of them!

    In 1596, a Dutch fleet led by Dutchman Hortmann arrived in Banten, Java.  In 1603, the Netherlands built a trading station in Java; in 1605, they conquered Ambon and Tili Islands in the Maluku Islands, which are rich in spices.  1In 619, he captured Jakarta on the island of Java and named Batavia as the headquarters of the Dutch East India Company in the East.  Before the arrival of the Dutch, the Portuguese had already established some trading stations in Indonesia.  Later, the British also landed in Indonesia and established a colony.  Using Batavia as their base, the Dutch adopted a strategy of fragmentation and disintegration, taking over the northern and southern Moluccas one after another and blocking the Molucca Strait.  After that, in 1641, he captured Malacca, the choke point of Portuguese rule for 130 years, and completely controlled East India.  The Netherlands has become the country that occupies the most territory among these European countries.

    The Netherlands initially colonized these areas through the Dutch East India Company.  After the East India Company was disbanded in 1799, the colony was taken over by the Dutch government, and was historically known as the Dutch East Indies (Japanese: Lanling East Indies), or Dutch Indies for short.  The colonial authorities of the Dutch East Indies had long pursued the dual policies of commercial monopoly and colonial expansion.

    After the establishment of the Dutch (Indian) colony, the Dutch stepped up their smuggling and military harassment on China's southeastern coast.  The Netherlands (India) considers itself a major country in Southeast Asia and demands equal trade with China.  According to Chinese official documentary records during the Ming and Qing Dynasties, most of China's relations with the Netherlands were actually negotiations and exchanges with the Netherlands (India).

    However, after the rise of Western Sichuan and the establishment of the empire, the Dutch felt the crisis. Through Germany, they worked hard to improve relations with China so that China had no reason to annex the Indonesian archipelago.

    Surabaya is the largest city in eastern Java and one of the main places where Chinese people live.  As early as the Ming and Qing Dynasties, many Chinese came here across the ocean to escape war or could no longer survive in their hometowns.  Over the past few hundred years, the leaves have taken root here, and a large number of Chinese people have multiplied.  There are more than 200,000 Chinese in Indonesia.  However, the Chinese have always been a minority in Indonesia and have not been able to integrate into the local society.  There were also many conflicts between the Chinese and the Indonesian indigenous people and the Chinese and the Dutch colonists.  If the Indonesian Governor-General had not started to improve the living conditions of the Chinese after the empire became stronger, their situation would have been even worse!

    Although there are only a small number of Chinese in Indonesia, they almost control the Indonesian economy.  Compared with the lazy Indonesian natives, the hard-working Chinese have accumulated a lot of wealth through their own labor.  For example, if you open a grocery store, Indonesian natives often close it at four or five o'clock in the afternoon, while the Chinese have to open it until evening.  Of course the Chinese earn much more money than the Indonesians!

    However, the large amount of wealth owned by the Chinese does not allow them to live a happy life, but is the source of suffering.  Indonesian natives hate the rich. They are lazy and lazy, but they don't see the Chinese earning wealth through hard work.  These jealous Indonesian natives have no humanity at all. They directly use the simplest method to plunder the wealth from the Chinese.  It will hardly be long before an anti-Chinese incident breaks out in Indonesia.  These Indonesian natives went around burning, killing, looting, massacring Chinese, raping women, and robbing the wealth that the Chinese had worked so hard to accumulate. They committed all kinds of evil.

    ????????? The Government-General of Indonesia has looked on with a cold eye and even secretly contributed to the situation.  The Dutch policy in Indonesia was originally to provoke conflicts between the Chinese and Indonesian indigenous people in order to maintain Dutch rule in Indonesia.  The Dutch were worried that the wealthy Chinese would resist their rule.  After all, in the eyes of Westerners, as long as you have money, you can do anything.  However, the Chinese are a hard-working and kind-hearted people. As long as they can live and work in peace and contentment, they are not willing to rebel.  However, the Dutch do not understand this at all. Their stubborn mission is to continue to let the Indonesian natives kill Chinese and deepen the contradiction between the Chinese and the Indonesian natives. Only then can the Dutch rule in Indonesia be as stable as Mount Tai.

    And, every time a riot occurs, when the Indonesian Governor-General comes out to clean up the mess, he will gain a lot of benefits.  Most of the Chinese wealth robbed by the Indonesian natives fell into the hands of the Dutch.  When the Chinese were killed, the ownerless wealth left behind naturally became the property of the Indonesian Governor-General.  Therefore, the Indonesian Governor-General hopes that there will be more anti-Chinese incidents.

    However, after the establishment of the Chinese Empire, and after the empire established its powerful position in the world through war after war, there have been no more riots in Indonesia.  From the establishment of the empire to the present, in the eleven years, Indonesian society has been very stable.  But in fact, there is indeed an undercurrent going on secretly.  After more than ten years of development, the Chinese have once again taken control of Indonesia's economy, and with the backing of a powerful motherland, the Chinese's political status has been greatly improved, which has accelerated the Chinese's wealth accumulation.  In contrast, the Indonesian indigenous people are getting poorer and poorer, which makes these Indonesian indigenous people even more hostile to the Chinese!  (To be continued.
