() As the plague became more and more severe in small and medium-sized cities in the east, these robbers began to penetrate into the west. Countless villages and towns along the way became the last paradise for these crazy people. They robbed food, robbed women, and killed people.
Set fire, anyway, do anything that excites them, because they don't know if they can continue to live, so they just have to be happy for a few days, happy for a few days, happy for a few days, and crazy for a few days.
This crazy and desperate mob grew bigger and bigger, and soon spread to the entire island of Java. Countless homes were looted, and countless people were killed. At this time, the mob no longer distinguished between whites and Chinese.
With the locals, as long as they are human beings, apart from being allies, they are enemies.
Plague, famine and corruption, in just a few months, on the island of Java, except for a few large cities, there was no pure land left. It was full of deserted farmland, abandoned villages and towns, destroyed plantations and
A body that was carelessly discarded.
The white people and local people huddled in the city are also having a hard time. Although most people have been driven out of the city, food and fuel will be used up, and the water sources in the city are gradually being polluted.
Without outside help, sooner or later the people who were driven out of the city would be like those they drove out of the city, either dying of the plague or being killed by thugs.
There is basically no hope for foreign aid. By this time, most white people have understood that the South China Sea Federation has always planned to trap and kill all of the more than 20 million people on this island, and the sudden outbreak of this plague is very likely to
It’s the South China Sea Federation that caused the bad things. But I understand
Gui understands that the island of Java is now sealed by the federal navy, and all the ships discovered, no matter how big or small, old or new, have been sunk. Moreover, the outside of the ports are either occupied by mines or patrolled by the navy of the South China Sea Federation. If you want to
Escape from the island is very, very difficult.
After rejecting the Dutch government's request for peace talks for the third time, the South China Sea Federation severed ties with the Dutch government and no longer accepted any form of negotiation, because Liu Fu knew that no matter what the Dutch government promised now, the people on Java Island would
The situation was already out of control. Even if the Netherlands agreed to cede all its European territories to the South China Sea Federation, Liu Fu would not risk the spread of plague germs from the island by releasing anyone on the island.
In Liu Fu's heart, Java Island is already considered a dead island. In the next few years or even more than ten years, it will not be suitable for human habitation. The residents of the island are being cleared away by plague, hunger and riots.
After a very small number, the plague will gradually stop, because there are not too many people to come into contact with, and there will be no way to be infected; and famine and riots will naturally disappear as the population decreases significantly.
However, Liu Fu had no intention of just letting Java Island and the people on the island go. In order to ensure that the plague did not spread from Java Island, he not only had to continue the blockade, but also had to strictly control Sumatra, Sulawesi and Kalimantan.
According to the island's population and household registration system, any unidentified person will be immediately sealed off and quarantined.
According to the institute's estimates, when the plague, famine and riots last for about a year and the population of Java drops below 3 million, the plague will naturally stop large-scale outbreaks because the population density is too sparse. By then,
The blockade can be gradually lowered, just by strengthening the epidemic prevention measures on the surrounding islands, because it is slightly larger
All ships were destroyed, and it was basically impossible to avoid the patrols of the blockade fleet. It was difficult for small ships to dock in other directions except west and east, because the voyage was too far and was not suitable for small ships.
If you venture out on a voyage without being intercepted by a blockade fleet, the waves and strong winds will send most of the small boats to the bottom of the sea.
From Java Island to the east, there is a series of small islands, which are getting farther and farther away from the territory of the South China Sea Federation. Liu Fu does not care whether the residents on those islands will be infected with the plague. If they can be infected, it will be solved by the Federation in the future.
question; and to the west, is Sumatra
, in the narrow strait between the two islands, there is a large number of federal blockade fleets. If they want to sneak across, the probability is very low. As for the south, there is a sea of thousands of kilometers. If they can escape to Australia, where can they escape?
, Liu Fu would wish them a safe journey.
After 10 months of hard work, the South China Sea Federation won the war with the Dutch. Most of the Dutch East Indies, except for Java and a series of small islands east of Java, had fallen into the hands of the South China Sea Federation.
.
On the first day of the New Year in 1918, the South China Sea Federation announced that Sumatra became the 10th province of the South China Sea Federation and was renamed Sumatra Province; most of Kalimantan and Sulawesi became the 11th province of the South China Sea Federation.
province, renamed Bo Ni
Province; Sulawesi and Papua and more than ten small islands between the two islands are also included in the Bo Ni Province. However, the federal army has not yet had the time and energy to occupy those islands covered with mountains and dense forests.
, and the residents of those islands
Most of them are Papuans. Most of them rely on hunting, fishing and gathering, and basically live a semi-primitive life. No matter how cruel Liu Fu is, he is not willing to waste time and effort to disturb those self-sufficient people, because there is nothing but
There is nothing but trees and mountains.
As for the east side of Papua Island, Papua New Guinea, it is still a supply port for the German Far East Fleet, but it has already entered 1918, and the Germans will not be able to survive for a few days, so Liu Fu does not plan for Germany to surrender.
This naturally gave the advantage to Britain, the United States and other countries, so he still sent out
Helena went to Germany with a large amount of urgently needed supplies, and proposed to Germany that the South China Sea Federation would use supplies worth 50 million gulls to purchase the German Far East Colony in Papua New Guinea. However, Liu Fu was also prepared for both.
In his letter to Helena, he suggested to Helena that if the German government
If Fu does not agree to sell Papua New Guinea, then the South China Sea Federation will use force to take it for itself. He implores the German government to pay attention to the situation in the Dutch East Indies and French Indochina, and not to settle for a few useless overseas colonies.
, which destroyed the friendly relations between the two countries.
There are never any friends or even relatives between countries. Whoever is stronger has the final say. On the balance of money on one side and war on the other, although the German government and the Kaiser were extremely angry at being threatened by a small Asian country, after
After a few days of calm, they agreed to sell the Far East colony of Papua New Guinea, but the price was a little higher. The Germans asked for 50 million German gold marks, which was roughly equivalent to 85 million federal gull dollars.
When Liu Fu saw that the Germans agreed to the sale, he did not argue too much about the price. Although the Germans were at the end of their rope, they could not push people too hard. Liu Fu still understood that if he sold more money, he could save some German money.
human dignity.
In this way, a few hundred South China Sea Federal Army troops, escorted by a destroyer, took over Papua New Guinea, a very primitive island, from the Germans, and stationed themselves in a small supply port built by the Germans.
, even an outpost and a small naval base at the southernmost tip of the South China Sea Federation.
