The reason why the appeasement policy was adopted before was to find out the mastermind behind this incident.
Now that I know it is Ozhou, there is no need to keep it anymore.
Du Fei said in a deep voice: "Order, according to the original plan, immediately eliminate the reactionaries and restore due order."
"Yes!" After receiving this order, everyone present immediately stood up.
Especially people in the military, who have long been holding their breath when this happens.
In an instant, intensive telegrams were sent from Kuching.
The Guixu Hao fleet, which was originally dispatched to the Sulawei Sea, received an order to continue southward as soon as it arrived at the scheduled location.
The forces deployed in advance on Sulawesi took action.
The fierce attack gave the thugs who were just a little complacent a head-on blow.
At the same time, four gunships transferred from Kuching to Sulawesi Island to conduct round-the-clock air patrols and coordinate with ground troops.
Everyone is required to register at home. Anyone who disobeys instructions or resists will be severely punished.
Any family in which one member participated in the riots would be expelled and sent by cargo ship to settlements in Sumatra.
…
In just one day, Sulawesi Island calmed down.
Listening to the sound of gunships flying over from time to time in the air, people in the thatched houses on the ground were silent.
People here have never been brave and good at fighting. The reason why they dared to make trouble before was because they thought no one would care.
Who knew, not only was someone taking care of it, but they also sent a plane directly, which scared people to death!
They have no spirit of sacrifice, let alone a program or goals. They could make trouble before only because there were so many people making noises.
The result was a rush to disperse.
Within two days, the situation on the entire island stabilized.
At the same time, on the Guixu, the newly painted gray warship looked particularly majestic against the blue sea and sky.
This giant ship with a fully loaded displacement of 17,000 tons took two destroyers around Sulawesi Island to the southern waters near East Java.
Captain Man Shunlin stood on the bridge, holding a telescope in his hand and looking at the distant coastline.
That is Bali, which is closely adjacent to Java.
Previously, according to the agreement between the Huang family and the Kingdom of Nusa Tenga to the east, the island of Bali originally belonged to Nusa Tenga.
However, as the Huang family later gained a firm foothold, they believed that they did not have the strength to defeat Subian in the west. In addition, Subian acted according to the opportunity, passed the Strait Condominium Management Committee, and boarded Du Fei's ship, which made the Huang family even more afraid and could only
Turning its head to the east, it used a series of means to seize the island from its former allies.
This also caused the relationship between the Huang family and Nusa Tengga to break down. Although the two sides did not meet each other at war, they were no longer the same as before.
Guixu is not far from Bali.
"Comrade Captain, they warned us not to get close." The signalman on the bridge reported loudly.
Man Shunlin had no expression on his face and said in a deep voice: "Reply, we are the Indian Federation Navy and have the right to conduct any operations in our own waters. Currently, there are ongoing maritime exercises. Please do not interfere without reason, otherwise you will be responsible for the consequences!"
"Yes!" the signal soldier responded and immediately replied via radio.
At the same time, a total of four main gun turrets on the Guixu, three in the front and one in the back, began to rotate, and all of them raised their barrels and pointed them in the direction of the island.
More than ten kilometers away, in a small base on the shore of Bali.
A young man with bronze complexion and a stern expression is the commander here, named Huang Benchao.
There are more than 700 people in this naval base converted from a fishing port, plus more than ten small boats, but they represent most of the Huang family's naval assets.
Huang Benchao frowned, standing on the watchtower with a telescope in his hand, looking at the giant ship on the sea and his hands and feet felt cold.
He is a direct descendant of the Huang family. When Du Fei helped them fight street battles in Surabaya, he used his vision to synchronize mortar attacks. Huang Benchao was a gunner.
At that time, mortars were considered the most important firepower of the Huang family, and Huang Benchao was among them, which shows his status.
Later, when the Huang family became big, Huang Benchao rose all the way up.
Now in Bali, he can be regarded as a unique figure.
But I don’t understand what’s going on, and what does Kuching mean by suddenly sending a fleet here?
What made him even more suffocated was that just after receiving the call back from the other party, he saw the naval gun turning through the telescope.
He knew very well that once the opponent opened fire, with just his broken boats, the battle would be over in an instant.
Huang Benchao still hasn't figured out what the decision-makers in Surabaya think and why they want to hook up with the Austrians.
As a direct descendant of the Huang family, he knows a lot of information that ordinary people cannot access.
Recently, the Huang family has been in frequent contact with Austria. Austria supports them in annexing the Nusa Tenga Islands. As for what Austria wants, although it has not been stated clearly, no one is a fool. There is no free lunch in the world. Austria supports it.
It is impossible not to ask for anything in return.
Anyone with a discerning eye can guess that this time it is coming to Borneo.
It stands to reason that because of Du Fei, the Huang family has the opportunity to rise, and regardless of nationality or interests, the Huang family should stay close to Borneo to ensure its own security and stability.
In Huang Benchao's view, cooperating with Austria in turn is purely a reckless move.
However, although he is a direct descendant, he is not a decision-maker. No matter what he thinks, he can't change anything.
Sure enough, the real world report is coming~
Huang Benchao flashed his skills and suddenly heard a "boom, boom, boom" sound coming from the distance.
Taking another closer look, the Guixu in the distance actually opened fire!
Fortunately, it was not aimed at them. The shell fell on the sea not far away, instantly raising a column of water into the sky.
The soldiers who saw this scene, including Huang Benchao, all felt nervous.
They had never seen a cruiser's main gun salvo in their lives. The eight 156mm main guns roared at the same time. Although it was not as terrifying as a battleship, it was still enough to shock people's hearts.
With a "Gulu" sound, Huang Benchao swallowed his saliva and said in a deep voice: "Take power with Surabaya and report the situation here."
This is the only thing he can do now.
Almost at the same time, a fierce quarrel broke out in a conference room of the Surabaya Government Building.
Although only a few years later, the power structure of the Huang family has undergone great changes.
The fifth uncle who used to control the Huang family's military force and had great prestige passed away more than a year ago.
This caused great changes in the power within the Huang family.
The highest power structure originally formed by Huang Yunzhong and his son and the fifth uncle was reshuffled. Although there was no direct conflict, after the death of the fifth uncle, the family elders took over.
Huang Yunzhong and his son are representatives of the Young Faction. They previously teamed up with the Fifth Uncle to suppress the Elder Faction. Now the two sides are inevitably fighting overtly and covertly.
Huang Yunzhong and his son had already made it clear that they were leaning towards Du Fei's side. In order to achieve checks and balances, the veteran faction also had to find foreign aid, so they hooked up with Aozhou.
Even so, with the strength of Huang Yunzhong and his son, they still had the upper hand in the struggle.
It wasn't until recently that Huang Yunzhong had health problems and was admitted to the hospital to prepare for surgery, and then he was taken advantage of.
Then it happened that Du Fei and Lin Tiansheng invested hundreds of thousands of troops in Chenla, which caused some people to misjudge and felt that at this point in time, it would be difficult for Kuching to have the energy to control them.
However, what they did not expect was that the Austrians would directly attack Sulawesi Island.
Before this, the two sides communicated with each other. The Huang family hoped to obtain the Nusa Tenga Islands, and in return Australia coveted Papua and the Maru Islands.
Sulawesi Island is not included in this range.
Now, it is obvious that the Austrians have fooled them, and Austria's target is not only Papua and the Maru Islands, but also Sulawesi.
The Huang family all knew that Du Fei had been eyeing Sulawesi Island for a long time, and had made many arrangements in advance, including volcanoes and gold mines...the ultimate goal was to eat Sulawesi Island.
If this happens now, it will only anger Du Fei.
"I have told you a long time ago that those foreigners are all ambitious. They have suffered many losses and have no brains!" Huang Debiao shouted angrily.
Next to him, his brother Huang Delu also looked ugly.
Opposite them were three old men. One of them, a thin old man, glared: "Why are you talking to the elders!"
Huang Debiao became even angrier when he heard this, and slapped the table: "Old man, stop talking about your elders, otherwise you would be like this?"
The old man choked and his face turned red with anger.
Huang Delu next to him frowned and shouted: "Second brother, why are you talking to Uncle Qi! Apologize~"
Huang Debiao curled his lips, but he didn't dare to disobey his elder brother, so he had to bow his head and apologize vaguely.
The old man then waved his hand on the steps.
At this time, an old man next to him said: "I don't think we need to be so nervous. Although Kuching's strength is strong, what is its current form? Their strength is concentrated on Chenla to fight the Vietnamese. Do they still have time to embarrass us?
?”
Unexpectedly, before he could finish his words, there was a rapid knock on the door.
Huang Delu frowned, knocking on the door at this time, something very important must have happened.
Sure enough, when someone came in and got the telegram they had just received, the faces of everyone present changed drastically.
The telegram was just sent from Bali.
"This..." The old man who was scolded just now looked at the telegram with an expression of disbelief.
The old man who said Kuching had no time to care about them felt like someone was holding him by the throat.
The appearance and bombardment of the Guixu hit them hard in the face and wiped out any luck in their hearts.
I thought I could get a bargain, but now I'm screwed.
"Delu, what should I do...?" the old man who had been silent just now asked with his brows furrowed.
Huang Debiao curled his lips and said "hum".
Huang Delu also frowned, thought for a while and said: "The other party only bombarded the sea surface and did not actually take action. This shows that there is room for action. We must show our attitude now and immediately send people to Kuching to explain the situation."
As he spoke, he took a deep look at the three old men across the conference table: "I still say the same thing, foreigners are unreliable..."
An old man didn't wait for him to finish and interrupted: "Of course we know that foreigners are unreliable, but are Kuching and Du Fei reliable? At least foreigners will not deprive us of our property and rights..."
Huang Delu's eyes were gloomy, he pursed his lips and said nothing.
Sometimes he feels really helpless. Ever since his fifth uncle passed away, the reason why he has become like this is ultimately due to the human heart. Once he has gained power, he is reluctant to let it go.
In particular, the Huang family occupied East Java and ruled millions of people. Although not in name, they were essentially the masters of a country.
Keeping the power in their hands is the first priority in their hearts, and everything else is secondary.
In this case, even the Huang family and his son must worry about the impact.
Huang Debiao didn't care so much: "Stop talking about useless things. Now that the warships are coming, what should we do?"
The old man was speechless for a moment.
Lao Ze, the eldest, sighed: "Delu, you have a good relationship with that side, so it's up to you to come forward to negotiate the matter."
Huang Delu didn't answer. This was obviously a thankless task.
Of course he has to come forward, but not now.
Up to now, the matter can no longer be solved with a few words. No matter who comes forward, they have to pay the price.
Now is just the beginning, the heat is not yet there.
It doesn't hurt him. If he rushes to negotiate, someone will definitely take the opportunity to attack him afterwards.
Huang Delu has developed his skills in the past few years and is well versed in political governance.
Huang Debiao and he had a clear understanding of each other. Sometimes Huang Debiao had to say something that was difficult for Huang Delu to say, one with a red face and the other with a white face.
In fact, Huang Debiao is not stupid at all, he just has to play the role of Zhang Fei.
He slapped the table with a loud bang: "Now I think of my brother. What were you thinking about squeezing us earlier? No go~ no go! It's all your fault to go to Tie Ding to stay low and be a kid at this time. Why should we be offended?
?”
"De Biao, now is not the time to be impulsive." The elder looked at Huang Delu with some expectation, hoping that he could speak.
Huang Delu just pretended not to see it. At this time, whoever is thin-skinned and soft-eared will suffer.
Without corresponding exchange, Huang Delu could not be moved by just a few words.
There was silence in the room for a while.
At this moment, someone came in again. He immediately felt that something was wrong in the atmosphere, and cautiously whispered a few words into Huang Debiao's ear.
Huang Debiao frowned even more and immediately stood up and went out.
The others were stunned, wondering what happened.
A few minutes later, Huang Delu came back, looked at the three Huang family elders one by one with a serious look on his face, and said in a deep voice: "Just now I got a call from the economic and trade company... I received a telegram from Kuching. Due to technical problems, their transport plane will not arrive."
Suspend our route."
You could hear a needle drop in the conference room.
"This...this..." An old man twitched his beard for a long time and wanted to say something, but after "this" for a long time, he didn't say anything.
The main reason why Nanyang's agricultural products can sell at high prices is that they are directly transported by airplane to Eastern Europe and the Middle East.
There are two necessary conditions for this, one is a sufficient transport fleet, and the other is cheap energy supply.
The former is provided by Du Fei, and the latter is provided by the destination country, so there are two routes: Eastern Europe and the Middle East-North Africa.
The supplier is the Nanyang Fruit Alliance organized by Du Fei.
Later, vegetables and other agricultural products were added, and it has been changed to the Nanyang Agricultural Products Alliance.
East Java's joining the alliance is tantamount to taking a ride on it and making money together.
However, if something like this happened, Du Fei certainly couldn't let them eat with their bowls in hand and put down their bowls to curse.
