Some civilized people in the West who consider themselves to be of noble character always talk about fairness and justice.
In fact, those who are least qualified to speak of fairness and justice are Westerners.
Before the industrial revolution, the Chinese had led the world for thousands of years. People around the world did not interfere with each other. Although wars occurred from time to time, they generally remained stable.
The West has led the world for only a few hundred years. Not only have the number of wars increased, but their scale has also become larger and larger, until the World War broke out.
It can be seen from this that Westerners are a destabilizing factor for the whole world.
For Westerners, they have always selectively ignored this fact.
For a colonial official in Borneo in the early 20th century, he regarded this as the West's success in promoting their so-called civilization around the world, and he was proud of it.
So during the next period of time, the colonial official kept chattering until the intermittent gunfire in the village completely subsided.
Nearly two hours have passed since the first gunshot was fired.
During the past two hours, the colonial official had been immersed in his own emotions and could not extricate himself, while his companions and the policemen hid aside and did not even dare to come out, for fear that they would be harmed.
Report that the search has been completed, all the dirt has been recovered, the criminal has been brought to justice, and the platoon leader responsible for the search came back to report.
You are murdering colonial officials and still accusing them.
Hey, come here, take him back and let him wake up. I think your guy has some problems today. Zhang Tianshou ignored him and called another colonial official who had never spoken.
The colonial official came over in a hurry, and despite his strong objections, he and several policemen dragged the person away.
He and these policemen had long wanted to leave.
Clean this place, bury all the corpses deeply, and perform epidemic prevention treatment. Zhang Tianshou continued to issue orders.
Although it is already November, there is no winter in Borneo. It is always so hot all year round.
The platoon leader stood at attention, saluted, turned around and led the people to work.
What are you going to do? Zhang Tianshou came to the previous Chinese man in his fifties with a friendly attitude.
The Chinese man had a complicated expression. His family had just been brutally murdered, and now that he had gotten his revenge, he should be happy and happy, but he felt abnormally disappointed.
Perhaps feeling lost is a normal reaction. Even if the great revenge is avenged, the sacrifice of the family has been irreparable, the pain has been caused, and it will take a long time to recover.
We will stay, we must stay, even if it is for our children and wives, we must stay, let them see that we are living a good life, let them die in peace for a long time, this Chinese
The talent replied with a hoarse voice.
Well, I will leave you a few guns and soldiers to train you. We will not withdraw until you have the ability to protect yourself. Even if we withdraw, we will never withdraw from Surabaya. Su Jing has us.
If something happens to our troops, you can go to Su Jing and report to the patrol team. Zhang Tianshou and Yan Yuese.
The more the man listened, the redder his eyes became, and he finally couldn't help crying.
Zhang Tianshou did not continue. In the face of the tragic facts, no matter how much he said, it was useless.
But one thing Zhang Tianshou can be sure of is that these dozen Chinese people will live a good life in the future.
After this incident, there are no more aborigines in this village. It means that all the houses and land that used to belong to the aborigines belong to these dozen Chinese. As long as they are not too lazy, the future prospects are bright.
But before the light, there are still some tests waiting for them.
What happened here will spread out soon, and it is estimated that the local indigenous people will come to take revenge. Then it will be seen whether a dozen Chinese people can survive.
Zhang Tianshou will leave some soldiers to guard these dozen Chinese people for a while, and at the same time, he will leave some weapons for these Chinese people to give them the ability to protect themselves. However, the soldiers will always withdraw, and then these Chinese people will still have to
Facing the unknown alone.
However, before withdrawing, Zhang Tianshou will make some preparations to prevent the Chinese from suffering greater losses, such as notifying the Chinese in the entire Surabaya area to increase their alertness, and also notifying the security forces stationed in other areas to ask them to also be on guard.
Take similar precautions.
One thing that is certain is that prevention alone is of little use. You can only commit a thief for a thousand days, and there is no way to prevent a thief for a thousand days. If you want to completely solve the dilemma of Borneo, you still have to solve it from a higher level.
So the question came back to Qin Zhiyuan.
To be honest, Qin Zhiyuan is not ready for a head-on confrontation with the Dutch.
It's not that Qin Zhiyuan is afraid of the Dutch, but it's a central issue.
In Qin Zhiyuan's plan, the current focus is on Europe, and the issue of Borneo will not be solved until the end of the world war and the main force of the Chinese troops returns to the Far East.
But Qin Zhiyuan ignored one problem. The Chinese in Borneo have been humiliated for too long. Once they have a backer, no one knows what kind of power the Chinese will burst out.
The violent incident that occurred in Surabaya was both an accident and an inevitable one.
But since an accident happens, Qin Zhiyuan always has to do something to better cope with what will happen next.
The first urgent need to replenish supplies is guns. No matter which direction the situation develops, it is always a good idea to stock up on more guns.
Penglai Island can produce ammunition, but cannot produce guns, especially machine guns.
So Qin Zhiyuan found Old Renault and ordered two ships of arms, enough guns to supplement 20,000 troops to be sent to Borneo. At the same time, he also ordered 20 Miss 75s that were disassembled for transportation, as well as a large number of rifle grenades and mortars.
After seeing Qin Zhiyuan's order, the always cheerful old Renault hesitated rarely, and then asked a question that was beyond Qin Zhiyuan's expectation.
Qin, do you want to compete with the Dutch for Borneo?
fight for
Qin Zhiyuan subconsciously asked: Why do you ask that?
No matter who you are, you will ask this question if you see these numbers. After speaking, Old Renault picked up a lighter and lit the order list, still watching it burn to ashes in the ashtray.
Not now, but maybe it will be possible in the future. Qin Zhiyuan was noncommittal.
Although Old Renault and Qin Zhiyuan have always cooperated well, Qin Zhiyuan does not trust Old Renault in this matter.
When it comes to national interests, Qin Zhiyuan cannot trust anyone. Qin Zhiyuan can only trust himself and the Chinese soldiers in the Foreign Legion.
If you really want to, I hope you can be smarter. At the very least, don't elevate this matter to a national act. Old Reno is not without worries.
Qin Zhiyuan, who has become a French general, commander-in-chief of the Foreign Legion and military and political commander of the new Baku Special Administrative Region, can indeed represent France in some aspects.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, the French government is not involved in this matter. I just want to strive for a better living environment for the Chinese in Borneo. Qin Zhiyuan really didn’t want to take advantage of France in this matter.
If Qin Zhiyuan uses the French government on the issue of Borneo, maybe the French government will provide Qin Zhiyuan with some conveniences, but if Qin Zhiyuan drives away the Dutch in Borneo, God knows whether the French will come out to pick peaches.
What should I do? I'll have a falling out with the French too.
Qin Zhiyuan does not want to turn himself and all Chinese into enemies of the world. Although it seems that the Chinese, who account for a quarter of the world's population, are not afraid of being isolated, in fact, before a complete industrial system has been built, the Chinese are still
I am not qualified to say this.
If you don't want to elevate this matter to a national act, then I suggest you have nothing to do with it now. Although this sounds a bit difficult, Qin, you have to understand that you will never understand the thinking of those politicians.
.Old Renault thinks more.
Without getting involved, how could anyone know about my relationship with Umbrella? Now it’s not that easy to get rid of it. Qin Zhiyuan regrets it now. If Zhang Tianshou and the others hadn’t entered Borneo in the name of Umbrella Company, then things would be different now.
Much easier to handle.
Why is it impossible that as long as you announce that the Umbrella Company will withdraw from Borneo, the next thing will have nothing to do with you. What happened in Surabaya will not involve you and the French government. The old Renault should just be direct.
Quitting Qin Zhiyuan's meditation may sound a bit shameless, but it is indeed feasible.
The Dutch government has lodged a protest with the French government, asking the French government to explain the Surabaya incident. Although the umbrella company is not under the jurisdiction of the French government, after all, the company is registered in France. Therefore, the Dutch have reason to suspect that in this matter, they are divorced from the French government.
It doesn't matter.
This matter has been aroused within the Allied Powers recently. The Dutch are resolute. If the French government does not give a reasonable explanation, the Dutch government will never give up. In order to seek justice, the Dutch even deployed troops originally deployed in Germany.
The troops on the Dutch border mobilized towards the Dutch-Belgian border, assuming a posture of not willing to fight at all.
Although the French are not afraid of the Dutch, at this critical moment, it is obvious that the Germans are the main enemy. Therefore, the French government has been very passive during this period. Members of Congress have submitted a bill asking Qin Zhiyuan to explain this.
Okay, tomorrow I will issue an order to evacuate all Umbrella Company members who enter Borneo. Of course, if someone disobeys the order, there is nothing I can do. What I can do is expel them from the company. Qin Zhiyuan
I understand what old Renault meant.
What Lao Renault meant is actually very simple.
Didn't the Dutch ask for the Umbrella to withdraw from Borneo? Then Qin Zhiyuan could withdraw, but whether anyone would stay was not something Qin Zhiyuan could decide.
In this way, the Dutch can no longer talk about what happened in Borneo.
At the very least, the Dutch cannot make an issue with Qin Zhiyuan and the protective umbrella.
