The violent reaction of the Chinese navy immediately shocked the Dutch colonial government. Now the two Chinese warships are not comparable to them in terms of tonnage and combat power. Even the entire Dutch fleet combined cannot defeat these two giant ships.
Ship!
Therefore, the Governor of the Netherlands hurriedly sent a clear telegram to the Guangxi, asking why the Chinese side took the lead in firing and provoking trouble! Chen Shaokuan directly asked why the Netherlands could not protect the safety of the Chinese, and actually encouraged the platoon when the Chinese warship visited the Netherlands.
China believes that the Netherlands is the mastermind behind Operation Hua and is the source of evil. If the Dutch government cannot deal with those thugs, China is willing to do it for them!
In addition, Chen Shaokuan also issued a warning: If the riot cannot be quelled within two hours, the Chinese Navy will take action personally. If the Netherlands dares to stop it, the Dutch Navy will become China's first target!
China said so and did so. The two warships had already started and were the first to exit the port. Then the black muzzles were pointed at the naval warships that continued to follow. These Dutch warships were lagging behind in speed, firepower, and tonnage. Now they seemed to be the Chinese navy.
Like a target, after the Dutch Governor received the report, he suddenly felt dizzy!
He had known for a long time that China's visit this time was actually looking for trouble. Therefore, the Netherlands had tried its best to prevent disputes with China. He did not expect that those indigenous monkeys would choose this place even if they were separated.
When there was a riot, didn't this give the Chinese an excuse to take action? Therefore, the Netherlands was also very angry!
All the military and police were mobilized, and even machine guns and mortars were brought out, and they quickly rushed onto the streets. Now the streets of Batavia are still in chaos, with Chinese and local people
Aboriginal conflicts are getting more intense, and such riots were not uncommon on the streets of Batavia in the past!
However, the situation today is a little different. The Chinese are more proactive and united than before. All men, women and children who can use their hands are mobilized, holding machetes and sticks, fighting to the death with the indigenous people. These Chinese have never been so brave.
At this time, they knew very well that there was a huge country standing behind them, and the warships of the motherland were outside the port. Moreover, the ultimatum proposed by Chen Shaokuan on behalf of the Chinese Navy to the Dutch colonial government had been spread among the Chinese. The word "motherland"
It is no longer a distant symbol, but is actually around you!
The Dutch military and police have received an order from the top, and it is a death order. Their mission is to completely suppress the indigenous people and arrest all those who cause the most trouble, leaving no one behind!
This and the order also puzzled the Dutch military and police. Most of the indigenous gangsters were inextricably linked to them. Every time they got a benefit, they had to hand over the bulk to these military and police masters, otherwise they would not be able to relax at all.
Enjoy the wealth they have captured. In other words, these indigenous gangsters are the evil bosses they have fostered!
Now that Jia was cruel to his dog, the Dutch were still a little reluctant, but at this time, the Chinese Navy conducted another round of test firings. Although it was still far away from the Dutch fleet, the provocation was too much.
Obviously, in fact, Chen Shaokuan even wanted to practice with the Dutch Navy at this time!
If an army wants to get rid of its immaturity and become mature, it needs the test of war. Although the Chinese Navy now has warships, it still lacks the training of war, especially the Chinese Navy still has the painful memory of the annihilation of the entire army in Sino-Japanese War. If you want to make this army
As this army becomes stronger, a proper war is necessary. Only victory can give the Chinese Navy new life!
From the current point of view, the Netherlands is the weakest, and China still has enough excuses. Therefore, Chen Shaokuan actually hopes that the Dutch will be angry and fight back against him. As long as the Dutch really fire, China will
Drive these Dutch warships into the bottom of the sea and let them become a sacrifice for the Chinese navy to become stronger!
However, the Dutch are not stupid. Faced with such two giant ships, they have no ability to fight against them, especially now that China's strength is rising day by day. It is not something that the Netherlands, which is extremely depressed, can compete with. Therefore, while the Dutch are sending electricity to China, they have repeatedly
It shows that the Netherlands did not participate in the actions against the Chinese. Everything was done by the hateful natives and has nothing to do with them. In addition, they also promised to suppress the riots as soon as they left!
With the force of the Fengguo navy intimidating them, these Dutch had no choice but to kill their lackeys. As long as they saw the natives still showing off their violence, they would not hesitate to rush forward and capture these dwarf monkeys if they resisted even a little bit.
They all were shot to death. The Dutch were so cruel that those natives who had not figured out what was going on were completely destroyed!
There were heavy casualties and a large number of arrests. These former masters were no longer amiable, but ferocious. They wanted to beat them all to death. They were abandoned by their masters. The gangs of these mangy dogs collapsed instantly, and chaos soon followed.
Just calm down.
In addition to broken doors and windows and trash thrown everywhere on the streets of Batavia, there were only some blood stains still telling the story of the conflict that had just occurred. The injured had long been sent to the hospital. This time the conflict
The Chinese and the indigenous people were almost evenly matched, but the Dutch colonial government only arrested those indigenous people and was almost not rude to the Chinese. On the contrary, it took the initiative to help the injured Chinese go to the hospital for treatment!
This change of the Dutch is not a discovery of conscience. The Chinese know very well that the Dutch have never been so sensible in many years. What brought such a big change were the two huge warships and the powerful force of the motherland.
Only with the backing of strong force can the Chinese truly have dignity!
This conflict did not last long, but the Dutch took unprecedented heavy action and arrested more than 700 indigenous people. Dozens of the leaders among them will be sent to court to judge their crimes. For all Chinese,
Said, this is undoubtedly a huge victory. The whole of Southeast Asia has been shaken. All Chinese are unprecedentedly excited. The motherland is no longer illusory. The armed forces of the motherland are by their side to protect these overseas wanderers. The new Chinese government includes Qiao Yu himself.
His prestige among overseas Chinese instantly rose to dizzying heights!
After Qiao Yu got the report, he was still very satisfied. It was quite good to show China's attitude through the Netherlands. Qiao Yu told Chen Shaokuan not to be in a hurry to come back for the time being, but to wait in Batavia until the trial was completely completed, so that the Chinese would be under pressure.
The resentment in your chest comes out!
Of course, it is obviously not Qiao Yu's wish to deal with the Netherlands and other low-income countries. The main opponent of the Chinese Tao Army is the Japanese Combined Fleet. Only by defeating the Combined Fleet can China truly become the overlord of the Far East!
However, in addition to the Japanese, the Chinese Navy also has an even greater restriction factor, which is oil. Although China has a vast territory, it does not have abundant oil reserves, and several large oil fields are not under Qiao Yu's control. Therefore, China's oil mainly
It is imported from the United States. The United States is now the world's largest oil exporter. Not only China, but Japan also relies on American oil to survive!
However, as China's industrialization process deepens, the amount of oil used is also increasing. Imports alone cannot meet the demand. In addition, security issues must be considered. After Qiao Yu took control of the country's political power, he began to
Conduct geological surveys within the scope.
Three major oil fields, including Yumen in Gansu, Daqing in Heilongjiang, and Dagang in Tianjin, were successively discovered. China also began to build its own petrochemical industry. The first one to be built was Yumen in Gansu. As early as the War to Protect the Country, Qiao Yu had achieved
After taking control of the Yumen Oilfield for a period of time, Yumen Oilfield officially began drilling, becoming the earliest large-scale oilfield developed in China.
The development of the Yumen Oilfield trained the first batch of skilled workers for China's oil industry. Later, a large number of workers were moved from Yumen to the Northeast. The Daqing Oilfield was finally developed, and China finally had a stable oil supply, which was very important to China.
It’s extremely important!
During World War I, oil officially became the most important strategic material. Especially when aircraft and tanks were used in the war, the importance of oil became even more prominent. Now the main oil producing areas in the world are in the hands of the United Kingdom and the United States:
There are large amounts of oil reserves in the western region of the United States and the Gulf of Mexico. The United States' status is equivalent to that of the Persian Gulf in later generations, with more than half of the world's oil production. However, after the end of World War I, the oil resources in the United States gradually disappeared, and
Britain’s position is now very important!
Although the UK has not developed North Sea oil fields, it does hold the Middle East, especially the Persian Gulf, under its control. In addition, the UK also controls the oil in the Dutch East Indies, India and Myanmar through the Anglo-Dutch Shell Company.
Oil is also under the control of the British!
China originally counted on importing oil from the United States. Now the price of oil in the United States has soared, from 2 US dollars to 3 US dollars per barrel. The relationship between China and the United Kingdom is not good, so don't expect to get Britain's oil at the critical moment.
Oil supply, so it is very necessary for China to develop its own oil!
China's tanks and aircraft can only have real power if they have sufficient oil, otherwise they are just toys. The Daqing Oilfield has maintained more than 10,000 tons of oil for many consecutive years. Such stable and high-yield oil fields are extremely rare in the world.
, as long as the Daqing Oilfield is developed, it will definitely be able to support China’s oil demand in the early stages of industrialization!
Qiao Yu attaches great importance to this and the most important strategic resource. He personally went to Daqing to inspect the situation, and Jiang Baili also accompanied him. "Prime Minister, from my perspective, the status of aircraft, tanks, and battleships in future wars will definitely rise.
It is getting higher and higher, but in the final analysis it is a battle between steel and oil. Only by grasping these two can we win the war. Now that China has its own stable oil supply, it is really gratifying, but it must also increase its vigilance.
!”
"Brother Baili, what you said is true. How do you think the Daqing Oilfield should be defended?"
"Prime Minister, the Northeast region is surrounded by enemies on three sides. The east is North Korea, the north is beyond the Xing'an Mountains and is controlled by Japan, and the northwest is also the Far East Republic, which is the power of Soviet Russia. At this time, China still needs to vigorously develop the Northeast.
resources in the region, so it is particularly important to strengthen the protection of the Northeast. A solid defense line must be established along the Yalu River to block the Japanese troops in North Korea. In addition, defenses must be strengthened in the outer Xing'an Mountains. Moreover, we cannot passively defend, but should retain sufficient
We have mobile forces. As long as Japan shows signs of using force, we will pre-emptively bring the war to the Japanese-controlled areas. The war is too destructive. We must try to avoid breaking out within our territory. As for the Daqing Oilfield, although it is within the
land, but we must also strengthen our air defense forces to avoid enemy bombing!”
