The British added three more divisions to Sumatra, bringing their total strength to 80,000 on this island of only more than 400,000 square kilometers. This news frightened the Sultan of Aceh. Obviously
Looking at this posture, the British are determined to destroy him. -{2}{3}{w}{x} To be honest, his resistance is just for some profit. If he is really in danger of being destroyed, he will inevitably retreat.
, this is not the first time he has done this kind of thing. Although he has the support of China, he is still a little clear-headed about the value of a little local king like him in the eyes of the Chinese.
"Do you know why the British increased their troops?" His Majesty the Sultan's old friend He Hui said mysteriously.
The Sultan of Aceh quickly shook his head. The news about the oil fields was suppressed by the British as soon as it started to spread in Singapore. People's Radio later selectively ignored him. He doesn't read newspapers and relies entirely on listening to the radio to get news.
Know.
"Because they discovered a super-large oil field in the swamps around Dulina, with an annual output that may exceed 10 million tons. Do you know how much it costs?" He Hui said.
The Sultan of Aceh quickly shook his head again.
"Although there are some slight differences in crude oil prices due to quality issues in different oil fields, the average price is basically 50 yuan per ton. How much does 10 million tons cost?" He Hui said.
The Sultan of Aceh was immediately dumbfounded. Even if he was not good at mathematics, he knew that this was 500 million Chinese dollars, 500 million Chinese dollars a year. This number made him feel dizzy. The reason why he brought millions of people with the British
People are working hard just for the spice and rubber business, which can cost up to 20 million Chinese dollars a year. Five hundred million Chinese dollars? He even feels as if his heart has stopped.
"This is all yours, it belongs to you Acehnese people, but if it falls into the hands of the British, you should know what will happen. They will not leave it to you even if they are a bit of scum. They want this wealth. You
You have to work hard yourself. People from Gulf Oil can promise that once you drive the British out of Sumatra and then hand over this oil field to Gulf Oil, the money earned by the two companies will be divided half and half. If you don’t believe it, then both parties will
You can sign an agreement in secret, and you don’t need to doubt the credibility of our Chinese people at all," He Hui said.
The Sultan of Aceh swallowed hard, but he was not a fool. Although he was washed away by 500 million yuan a year like a small fishing boat in a typhoon, he still maintained the last trace of sanity. Knowing this also means
The British will not give up Sumatra Island no matter what. Even if they continue to increase their troops, they will seize this land. If that really happens, he may not be able to stop it.
"Then unite! You see, your islands are basically fighting on their own now, so it is easy for the British and Russians to defeat each other. Why don't everyone unite to create a real country? Create an Indonesian Federation.
Whether it's an empire or a republic, you decide what to do anyway, and then choose an emperor or president. Shout out the slogans of Indonesian liberation and national independence, promise some benefits to the people, and let them have some illusions. Of course, the premise is to unite and defeat the British.
Get out.
There is no difficulty in this. With our support behind you, your islands now have a combined population of at least 30 to 40 million, and at least tens of millions of people who can hold guns to fight. It is no small matter to work together to drive the British out.
One piece?" He Hui said.
The Sultan of Aceh was immediately moved. He Hui's meaning was very clear. He used the slogan of the Indonesian Federation to fool the Sultans and people of other islands into fighting the British resolutely, and even sent troops to help him.
It will definitely be easier to defeat the British by gathering the strength of each island in this way. As for defeating the British, the oil fields are on Sumatra anyway. Although there are several local kings here, their strength cannot be compared with him.
He was raised like a pig by the Dutch and had no fighting power, so no one could snatch this oil field from him. This was actually equivalent to using a big slogan to coax others to help him snatch the oil field.
To be honest, some people have indeed begun to shout the slogan of an independent Indonesian federation. Especially in recent years, more and more young Indonesians have gone to China to study. After returning, most of them are promoting the establishment of an independent Indonesian Republic.
There were even some organizations in this area in Java, and most of them participated in the anti-British war. The native kings on other islands also had this idea to some extent. After all, the Dutch raised them like pigs.
, but they usually bully them, but now they just lack a powerful leader. Aceh is the main force in the recent anti-British war. If he shouts this slogan again as the Sultan of Aceh, he will definitely respond to it.
.
Then just like China, build a federal empire, play with constitutional monarchy, and build a constitution to hang as a memorial, so that the people will be happy, and other local kings will have no objections. At that time, I am afraid that not only will the oil fields make a fortune, but I will also build an Indonesia.
The Emperor of the Federation Empire is not impossible.
Looking at His Majesty the Sultan's leisurely and fascinated expression, He Hui knew that his mission had been completed. In fact, many Indonesian kings had begun to waver at this time. After all, they were also very worried as they watched the British increase their troops one after another.
False. As for the common people who didn’t have much loyalty to the earth kings, they were still able to fight bravely under the impact of passionate blood at first, but after the blood flowed into a river, their anger slowly vented. In the end, even if the colonists were driven away
Or, if you look back at the life under the leadership of the earth kings back then, it wasn't necessarily much better. The common people were not stupid either, and they didn't want to do stupid things that cost their lives for little profit, so now there is an urgent need to cheer them up again.
Courage, an Indonesian federal pie will definitely work.
As for the future, even if they defeat the British, I'm afraid a million people will die. When the time comes, the benefits gained by the Sultan of Aceh will be exaggerated to the other sultans. It's no wonder those guys can bear it! Just provoke it
The Indonesian civil war has just started, and this trick of killing three people with two peaches is very good!
Of course, the Sultan of Aceh did not know that he was actually involved in a huge conspiracy. Since a beautiful and brilliant tomorrow was already in front of him, there was no need to hesitate anymore. He then went on to appeal to the kings of the islands and society in the name of the Sultan of Aceh.
The elites sent out an invitation, held a secret meeting on the island of Bali, which the British had not yet been able to touch, and formally proposed the initiative to jointly form an Indonesian federal empire.
His initiative was immediately approved by the vast majority of the native kings. Now there is the example of China. Such a federal empire and a constitutional monarchy have become the main political template for those colonial people who are striving for freedom and independence. This can satisfy both needs.
The interests of the new faction and the future of the old nobles were taken care of, which can be said to be the most reasonable. Soon after some bargaining on interests, the Indonesian Federal Empire was brand new. As for the emperor, because of parliament and the like
Not yet, so it has not been determined yet, but the principle of fighting resolutely and expelling all colonists has been determined.
Immediately afterwards, a declaration co-signed by the vast majority of Indonesia's feudal lords was officially broadcast to the world through People's Radio. In the declaration, it was pointed out that the Indonesian islands are the sacred territory of the Indonesian people, and no colonists are allowed to touch this land.
For land, for national independence, and for national freedom, the Indonesian people will fight bloody battles until all invaders are driven out of their homeland, and they will fight to the end no matter what the price.
This Bali Declaration almost made the British people's noses twist. They never thought that these monkeys would dare to play like this. This is a slap in the face, a slap in the face of the British Empire. When the Netherlands ruled you, you were all old.
To be honest, if it were us British people who came here, you would immediately run out and jump up and down, openly bullying others. Although we in the British Empire are memorizing words now, we are not a group of monkeys who can provoke us.
Feeling humiliated, the British completely tore off their hypocrisy. The British army, which had previously restrained its suppression methods, also let go of its hands and began to kill on various islands. The British naval fleet even began to bombard including
Including Banda Aceh, all Indonesian cities not under their control, especially Batang, the main city on Bali, were directly razed to the ground by British naval guns. Their brutality further aroused the hatred of the Indonesian people.
, as Emperor Yang said, Muslims are always difficult to deal with. These guys like to take revenge or something. With the dual inducement of big slogans and hatred, with the continuous support of China, they fight against the British and the Russians.
The flames of war burned across all Indonesian islands. Even large cities like Batavia, which was under British control, saw large-scale attacks against white people. The British had to increase their troops to Indonesia again and again.
In just a few months, the total number of troops deployed in Indonesia has exceeded 150,000.
But even so, they are still stretched thin in Indonesia, especially among the soldiers they recruited from India, there are also a large number of Muslims. These soldiers are not willing to fight with the Indonesian monkeys who are also Muslims. These Muslim soldiers are actually the Asan Army.
The main force, those Hindus fighting the war are a complete joke.
As a result, the British discovered that the best mercenaries were actually Japanese who came purely for livelihood. These guys who had nothing to do with Muslims had no burden at all in fighting, and they could kill Indonesian monkeys easily and neatly. In this way
As soon as hiring Japanese as cannon fodder became the best choice for the British. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
