    On July 11, 1906, at the Surabaya pier, a passenger ship flying the dragon flag slowly docked at the pier. The Indonesian natives working as coolies on the pier immediately swarmed up and wanted to help the guests who got off the ship to carry the gifts.  And earn some hard earned money.  However, although Surabaya is not small, there are not many boats coming from outside, and the possibility of these Indonesian natives making money is also very small.  Therefore, the Indonesian natives who work as coolies on the docks often do not do well. They are full and hungry, and all of them are sallow and thin!

    The passenger ship docked, and after the gangway was lowered, the guests got off the ship.

    "Sir, where are you going? Let me pack your luggage for you! I have lived in Surabaya for more than thirty years and I am very familiar with this place!" The dark Indonesian natives used half-baked Chinese to solicit business.  However, unless you really have a lot of luggage, not many people are willing to hire these Indonesian natives.  The Chinese also hate these Indonesian natives.

    A young Chinese man wearing a blue robe and carrying a large box stepped off the passenger ship.  Immediately, several Indonesian natives came forward to greet him, with humble smiles on their faces.

    ¡°Sir, let me move and salute you!¡± A short Indonesian native in his thirties said first.  His name was Sunobi. He originally lived in the countryside, but he couldn't survive anymore, so he came to Surabaya to seek life. However, what he never expected was that it would be more difficult in Surabaya than in the countryside.  The Indonesian indigenous people in Surabaya are already living in poverty.  Where would hire him.  The Chinese in Surabaya rarely employ Indonesian natives except in factories.  The work in the factory is relatively heavy, and you have to work 12 hours a day, which Sunobi simply can't bear.  As a last resort, I had to come to the dock to find work.

    "No, I can do it myself!" The Chinese man frowned and refused.

    "Sir, from the pier to the city. I only charge one dime, very cheap!" Sunobi was unwilling to give up and continued to persuade.  It's been a day and he hasn't received a single business deal yet. If he can't make any money anymore.  Then he would have to go hungry!

    "No need!" the Chinese man said coldly, carrying the box and walking out.

    ¡° However, Sunobi didn¡¯t know what was going on, but he stood in front of the Chinese man.

    "Bang!" At this time, a wooden stick hit Sunobi hard on the head, knocking him to his knees.

    "Bah! Dirty Indonesian monkey. Get away from me!" A young Chinese man, holding a wooden stick in his hand, cursed fiercely.

    Su Luobi quickly got up from the ground and ran away without looking back.  He can't afford to offend these Chinese now.  However, his eyes were shining with malice.  It¡¯s been a while since I came to Surabaya.  Sunobi also knows the current situation in Indonesia.  If we say that the countryside is still dominated by Indonesian indigenous people.  That city is basically dominated by the Chinese.  Although, the number of Chinese is very small compared to that of Indonesian indigenous people.  However, they are superior, and Indonesians can only be exploited by the Chinese.

    "Brother Zixiang, you are finally back. We have been waiting for you for a long time!" The young Chinese man who knocked down Sunobi said to the Chinese man with a smile!  This Chinese man is none other than Lin Zixiang. He was born in Surabaya, but he is already a senior officer in the Military Intelligence Bureau and now has the rank of colonel.

    "Shui Sheng, long time no see, you have grown a lot stronger and have grown into a young man!" Lin Zixiang patted the young Chinese man on the shoulder and said with a smile, this young man is Shui Sheng.  When they were looking for traces of the Japanese fleet, those who survived with Lin Zixiang have now grown up!

    "Brother Zixiang, what order did you come back with this time? Can we succeed this time?" Shuisheng's eyes were full of eagerness to try.  He has also joined the Military Intelligence Agency, but now he has at least the rank of second lieutenant.  He only knew that Lin Zixiang returned to Surabaya with an order, but he could only guess what the order was!

    ¡°This is not the place to talk, let¡¯s talk after we go back!¡± Lin Zixiang said.

    Afterwards, the two people walked out of the pier, got into a carriage, and rushed into the city.  Along the way, Lin Zixiang lamented the changes in Surabaya.  He has not been back to Surabaya for two years. Surabaya is now more prosperous, and the streets are lined with various shops opened by Chinese.  Obviously, the life of the Chinese here has been greatly improved!

    "Brother Zixiang, neither Indonesian employers nor those white-skinned pigs dare to bully us anymore. Everyone's life is much easier!" Shui Sheng explained to Lin Zixiang.

    Lin Zixiang nodded, but he was a little worried.  Chinese people?They are content with the status quo. If they have a stable life, are they still willing to change?  However, Lin Zixiang later rejected this idea.  The empire has become one of the major powers in the world. The Chinese living overseas should want to return to the embrace of the motherland!

    The place where Lin Zixiang and Shui Sheng went was the Chinese Consulate in Surabaya.  Shuisheng's official position is also an officer in the consulate.  At the Surabaya Consulate, a platoon of Chinese troops is stationed here to protect the security of the consulate and to provide protection to the Chinese when something happens.

    "Colonel Lin, have a smooth journey!" After arriving at the consulate, Lin Zixiang met Wang Jingchuan, the Chinese consul in Surabaya.  China has established consulates in many cities in Indonesia where Chinese people gather.  It was then administered by the Consulate General established in Batavia.

    "Hello, Mr. Consul! It's been a smooth journey!" Colonel Lin Zixiang shook hands with Consul Wang Jingchuan.

    "Colonel Lin, please take a rest first! The consulate will hold a small banquet in the evening to welcome you. All Chinese representatives from Surabaya will attend!" Consul Wang Jingchuan said.

    "No need to bother, Mr. Consul, I am coming back secretly this time and cannot make it public. In addition, you can help me secretly invite the Chinese representatives from Surabaya. This time, I need their help!" Colonel Lin Zixiang said.

    "Colonel Lin, are the country ready to take action?" Consul Wang Jingchuan asked immediately.  It is almost universally known that China will attack Indonesia sooner or later.  It's just that no one knows the exact period when China took action.

    "Well! The Military Intelligence Bureau and the General Staff have already planned it, and we will start in a week. We will find a way to provoke a conflict between the Chinese and the Indonesian natives, and then take the opportunity to rise up and overthrow the Dutch rule in Indonesia! By then, the empire will come from the sea  Support us!" Colonel Lin admitted directly without denying it.

    "Haha! Great! We're finally going to take action!" Consul Wang Jingchuan and Shui Sheng both laughed.

    "Shui Sheng, a ship will arrive tonight. Find someone to transport the things on the ship to the consulate. Those are the weapons we are going to use!" Lin Zixiang ordered.

    "Brother Zixiang, just look at me, there will be absolutely no problem!" Shuisheng assured, patting his chest!

    That night, a simple carriage entered the consulate from the back door.  After entering the consulate, several elderly and middle-aged people got off the carriage.  It would be a surprise if anyone recognized them!  These people are all prominent figures among the Chinese in Surabaya City.  And tonight, they all came to the consulate secretly. If word spread, the Dutch authorities would probably be very uneasy!

    Under the guidance of the consulate staff, these Chinese came to the conference room of the consulate.  Colonel Lin Zixiang and Consul Wang Jingchuan were already waiting for them.  At this time, Lin Zixiang, wearing a colonel's military uniform, looked straight and heroic!

    "Good evening, everyone!" Lin Zixiang and Consul Wang Jingchuan first greeted everyone.

    "Hello, Mr. Consul! Zixiang, it turns out you came back to me, and I asked you why the Mr. Consul came to us in such a hurry!" A middle-aged man patted Lin Zixiang's shoulder and said enthusiastically.  His name is Wu Jingping, and he is the head of the Wu family in Surabaya. The Wu family is mainly engaged in shipping. Half of the merchant ships and cargo ships on the Surabaya dock belong to them!

    "Hello, Uncle Wu! Grandpa Liu, Grandpa Zhang, Uncle Chen, good evening!" Lin Zixiang greeted these people respectfully.  In front of these people, he is simply a junior!

    Liu Hanwen, an old man in his seventies, is the head of the Liu family. The Liu family runs several of the largest banana plantations in eastern Java and is one of the richest Chinese families in Indonesia!

    Zhang Minghui is only a few years younger than Liu Hanwen, and his hair and beard are both white. He is the head of the Zhang family. The Zhang family is mainly engaged in the grain business, selling a large amount of grain produced in Indonesia to the country.

    Chen Mingxuan, the head of the Chen family, is mainly engaged in the cloth business.  The power of the family cannot be underestimated in Surabaya.

    "Zixiang, you haven't been back for two years. Is your return this time for official or private matters?" Liu Hanwen asked.

    "Grandpa Liu, to be honest, I came back with an order this time!" Lin Zixiang replied directly.

    "Order? Zixiang, is the empire ready to take action against those white-skinned pigs? This is a good thing! We have long been looking forward to the empire annexing Indonesia!" As soon as Lin Zixiang finished speaking, Wu Jingping shouted.

    "Uncle Wu, this time the empire is indeed preparing to drive away the Dutch. We Chinese came to Indonesia before the Dutch, but the country we Chinese established was destroyed by the Dutch. In recent years, everyone has not  ?Opportunity to be influenced by the Dutch and Indonesian natives.  Now, His Majesty the Emperor has made up his mind to drive away the Dutch and incorporate Indonesia into the empire.  From now on, we Chinese can truly be the masters of our own country!  "Colonel Lin Zixiang said to everyone!

    "Haha! Okay! Zixiang, tell me what you want to do, and our Wu family will definitely support it! If you want people, you still need money, and our Wu family will definitely have no problem!" Wu Jingping said immediately!
