Chapter 762 The South China Sea (4)
Shortly after Yang Qiu was woken up by the phone, there were a series of harsh noises after sudden brakes in the courtyard of the Presidential Palace.
In addition to Song Ziqing, Chen Shaokuan and others, even cabinet ministers such as Wang Zhengting and Murong Han were alarmed by the Batavia's riots and rushed to the Presidential Palace to inquire about the situation. "The attack was Sukarno's East Indonesia Revolutionary Army, with a total force of more than 20,000. They received training from the Japanese army two years ago and had certain combat capabilities. In order to ensure that everything was foolproof, Nagata Tieshan also drew two brigades from the East Timor garrison troops, boarded a merchant ship, carried light weapons, and arrived in Java Island two days ago, mixed into the Indonesian Revolutionary Army to cooperate with the attack. Therefore, this was a long-planned and carefully planned sneak attack, taking advantage of the slackness of the Dutch and relying on the locals to cover the city!
The Natuna Naval Monitoring Station of the Military Intelligence Bureau has heard a clear telegram for help from the Dutch cruiser of the Dutch Java, the Netherlands, an hour ago. The telegram said that the revolutionary army was in a fierce offensive, and three infantry barracks had all occupied it. Governor Lambost and some defenders had retreated to the harbor fortress. The Java and Surabaya sea defense ships were ordered to open fire on the shore. The remaining gunboats were rushing to Si Shui. It is said that large-scale exchange of fire had also occurred there... Java Island conveyed the order of the governor, requiring the Dutch troops stationed outside Java to return to Batavia immediately. At the same time, it was asked that important units such as Balibaban oil field, Palembang oil field, and Makassar tin mine were careful of the enemy's destruction and prepare for destruction!
In addition to the Dutch communication, the monitoring station also received encrypted telegrams from Singapore Fortress and Cam Ranh Bay, with the specific content unknown. The radio signal of the USS Houston cruiser, which was temporarily repaired in Luzon, also appeared briefly. Also! At about 10 o'clock this morning, the Haizi 16 ore sand ship of Wuzhou Shipping Company encountered the Japanese Navy Nazi heavy cruiser while passing through the Bali Sea. The ore sand ship was immediately expelled after the encounter. The signal said that they had accidentally entered the Japanese naval exercise area." The atmosphere of the presidential palace, as Yan Baohang's quick flip mouth gradually became solemn. Everyone knew that Japan wanted to go south, but at this time, the Japanese army's rapid and fierce attack speed still surprised everyone.
Before Yan Baohang closed the document, he looked at Yang Qiu, who was still looking at his face: "There is still unconfirmed news that the Japanese Minister to Batavia, Kobayashi, may have been killed in the firefight!"
"What!"
"Is Kobayashi Jizuo killed by bombing?"
"Who did it? Or was it the Dutch army's revenge?"
......The last news shocked the senior officers and ministers present, and even the calm-minded Song Ziqing's eyes were stagnant. This news was too important! As the Japanese Navy general and Qianhai Prime Minister, Kobayashi had a very high status in the Japanese Navy. If he was beaten to death by the Dutch, then the Japanese Navy would definitely be forced to attack the Dutch East India under pressure. Although this is what everyone wants to see the most, if it was not for the Netherlands... Then this Nagata Tetsuyama would be terrible!!
"This Nagata Tetsuyama is really scheming!" After everyone was silent for a while, a voice came from the side. Jiang Fangzhen lowered his head, his face a little gloomy. He said to himself: "The death of Kobayashi Ji will surely arouse the revenge of Japan. This will have three benefits! First, Hideki Tojo and others have to stop quarreling and go south with all their might! Second, Sukarno is now in Nagata Tetsuyama's palm, and he can completely let Sukarno declare independence first, and then Kobayashi Ji use Kobayashi's hands.
The bombing was killed and pretended to threaten to take revenge. Taking advantage of the British revenge, Sukarno pretended not to offend Japan and rented some strategic areas of the Dutch East India to Japan for use! In this case, if Britain wants to avenge the Netherlands, it must bypass Japan's barrier, unless the United Kingdom declares war on Japan first! I guess, Nagata Tetsuyama may wish Britain would declare war, so that it can swallow Malaya and Singapore directly, and perhaps even Luzon and Vietnam cannot escape......"
In Jiang Fangzhen's analysis, it seems that he has already determined that Kobayashi was killed by his own people. However, everyone thinks that this deduction is correct, because even if the Dutch knew that Japanese were involved in the riot, they would not take revenge on a great future before declaring war. Sukarno and the Indonesian Revolutionary Army are even more impossible. It is too late for them to curry favor with Japan now. How could they assassinate a naval general with an important influence? As for accidental injury, it is even more joke. As long as Nagata Tetsuyama reveals his plan in advance, how could Kobayashi go to the most dangerous Governor's Office to seek death?
"Okay! How can Kobayashi die and it has nothing to do with us."
Yang Qiu waved his hand. At this moment, perhaps he was the happiest person. Japan finally went south! The news from Batavia made him breathe a sigh of relief from the inside and the outside. You know, in order to obtain industrial aid and means of production from Europe and the United States, he developed industry from nothing to something. He publicly recognized the Versailles system and recognized the hegemony of Britain and France. He promised not to expand and not to colonize. But this promise helped Britain and France stabilize the Versailles system for nearly twenty years, but it left him in foreign affairs. In order to break the deadlock, and to make him
This nation has gained a broader living space. With the promises that cannot be changed and the national system cannot be changed, he dreamed of today's day more than anyone else! He even secretly thought before that if Japan did not go south, it would simply support several Japanese warships and raw materials, and also let the other party go south to completely destroy the Versailles system built by Britain and France, and completely disrupt the Southwest Pacific. Because only in this way can we take the initiative to go out and include this sea area in the sphere of influence of the Republic of China in the name of "curbing opponents and national interests"!
Fortunately, there is no need to support Japan in secret, because Nagata Tengshan, the strategic master, did not miss this good opportunity after all. So the important thing now is not to find a way to get the Japanese army to go south, but to get the first move in this game as soon as possible. So he glanced at him and stopped on Yue Peng's face: "Zi'an, what do you do next?"
"The first step is to evacuate the overseas Chinese." Yue Peng had already discussed with Chen Shaokuan about the evacuation of the overseas Chinese on the way here, so he immediately replied: "With our people here, Nagata will definitely look forward to it when he starts. After controlling Java Island, he may not have the courage to continue to go deeper. So I suggest that all the East Indian expatriates in the Netherlands, outside the Minas Oilfield east of Palembang and outside the Minas oil field, will temporarily evacuate to West Borneo first. As for Sumatra, we need to see the subsequent trends of the Japanese army."
Zhang Xiaojun smiled and said, "Zi'an is right. What we need to do now is to completely let go, so that we don't want to get involved in the conflict in Southeast Asia. After the Japanese army makes a big profit on Java Island, the confidence in the country will definitely expand. When people like Tojo Hideki will be afraid that Nagata Tetsuyama will make a comeback even if they don't want to fight, they will come to grab the merits. Maybe in two days, someone will rush to the Philippines and Sarawak. There are also several oil fields there."
"Balibaban and Palembang have enough oil. If you want Japan to continue to go south to grab Sarawak... I'm afraid it won't work." Song Ziqing looked at Yang Qiu with a smile. Everyone knew what he meant, but Yang Qiu did not manage the oil field first, but looked at Chen Shaokuan: "Houfu, where is your nearest warship?"
"The 23 fleet is in Natuna, including the Nanchang heavy cruiser, the Oujiang light cruiser, the Anxinjiang fast mine-breaking cruiser, and four destroyers... Before I came out, I ordered the Nanchang and Xin'anjiang to rush to Batavia, and I will arrive tomorrow morning at the latest."
Chen Shaokuan's words made the ministers nod secretly, and they admire Yang Qiu's strategy of offending Ying-Holland in his early years and having to get Natuna. If it weren't for this strategic sea and air base that had been launched, the Navy could only be considered a near-shore naval division and would not have reacted so quickly to interfere with the situation in the South China Sea. "Send a telegram to the Batavian Embassy, you must protect the safety of the expatriates. Ziqing, Rutang..." Yang Qiu turned his head and looked at Song Ziqing and Wang Zhengting: "You two will work harder tonight. In the name of the government and the Ministry of National Defense, we will plan a telegram to evacuate overseas Chinese, requiring all ships sailing in the Dutch East India port and nearby to start the evacuation of overseas Chinese immediately. The specific action methods and ship protection work shall be responsible for the Navy..."
"President." Before Yang Qiu could make arrangements, Gu Yuwen in the corner suddenly stood up: "I just thought about it carefully. The plan of Telshan in Nagata is very good, but he made a big mistake!"
"Oh?" Everyone was stunned. Even Wang Zhengting, who was recording, stopped writing, looked at the economic adviser of the Presidential Office, and asked, "Yu Wen, what do you mean?"
Gu Yuwen is still the same as he always likes to scratch his hair when thinking about things, so the first feeling when he stands up at this moment is that he is full of hair. He didn't pay attention to his image at all and said anxiously: "The analysis of General Baili just now has made it clear. In order to gain time, Nagata Tetsushan deliberately killed his naval general, which made Britain unable to find a reason. If it is not unexpected, it should be able to fight for a year or two. But he forgot that because of the lack of status, he can only control the Balibaban and Palembang oil fields through Sukarno. I have calculated before that, due to my country's strong demand, the British and Dutch Shell has been expanding its production capacity in recent years. At present, the two oil fields can produce 49 million barrels of crude oil per year. If it can be destroyed, it will take more than a year for Japan to restore its production capacity! It can greatly alleviate our pressure, and...it can also make several small oil fields in Sarawak and the Philippines more eye-catching!"
As soon as these few words came out, Gu Yuwen's chicken coop head suddenly became synonymous with intelligence in everyone's eyes. Qin Zhangshu immediately looked at Yang Qiu: "President, Yuwen..." Before he finished speaking, Yang Qiu's mouth curled up and interrupted, and looked at Yue Peng with a smile: "Zi'an, did you see it? I think so, it's not just the two of us."
Only then did everyone know that Yang Qiu and Yue Peng had already made up their minds to destroy the oil field, but Wang Zhengting and several ministers were secretly worried: "President, the oil field is still the property of the British and Dutch Republic in name, will it be...?"
"What will happen?" Before Yang Qiu could speak, Yue Peng had already glared at him, and Gu Mu's body was soaring: "I exploded it to prevent him from falling into the hands of the enemy! Yinghe... should thank us well!"
