On January 18, Liu Yiming called Lin Anmin, who had entered the inner city of Surabaya to negotiate with the Dutch. Since the establishment of Nanhua, Lin Anmin had been promoted several times because of his courage and ability to judge the situation, and was about to take over Semarang City.

The position of the mayor.

But now it has been stopped! Liu Yiming is going to use him to handle a plan. There are not many people in Nanhua who can complete this plan!

"Mayor Lin, sit down." Liu Yiming called Lin Anmin into the office.

"Minister, what's the matter? You asked me to come?" Lin Anmin was a little uneasy, not because he was uneasy about his future. Nanhua was short of people. He didn't dare to say how capable he was, but at least he was much better than ordinary people.

Liu Yiming was also the Minister of National Defense. Lin Anmin was not from the army, nor was he a close elder of Liu Yiming, so he called him Minister.

It is an established fact that Nanhua is short of people. The purpose of the garrison brigade is to capture people. The purpose of catching savages is to reclaim land and plant rice, sisal, oil palm trees and other crops. Even some tribes who have no hatred against the Chinese can go to the Nanhua controlled area.

Working part-time, the pay is pretty good!

"You should take a look at this plan first." Liu Yiming went straight to the point and gave him a plan without any explanation.

Lin Anmin took the plan and Liu Yiming said at the same time.

"Nanhua is short of people, ordinary people are short of it, but it is even more lacking of talent. Java Island is rich, and you also know that war has never left. The war is about people, and it is money, money. Nanhua can scrape together a little bit from here and there.

But people really can’t help it." Liu Yiming sighed.

"Minister, I have to say, this is a very bold plan." The plan was very short. Lin Anmin read it in a short time and said with a frown.

"Now I can only ask for boldness. Do you know why we can win this battle?" Liu Yiming asked.

"I would like to hear the details." Lin Anmin straightened his body and said.

"Because I had hostages in my hands. At that time, we had more than 50,000 Dutch young adults and nearly 10,000 soldiers. The Netherlands had a total of about 4 million people. They suddenly lost 60,000 young adults, which is equivalent to a generation.

, he cannot afford to pay. On the contrary, it is easier for them to accept Java to replace a generation and then take Java back." Liu Yiming did not mention the international environment, but only mentioned one of the important reasons.

"Nanhua is now a small country with few people. Once the Dutch come back..." Lin Anmin immediately thought...!

"It seems that you have understood that this is also a last resort!" Liu Yiming smacked his lips and said to Lin Anmin half-literally.

The reason for this is determined by Lin Anmin's background. He is a businessman. His father was a poor scholar who was captured and brought to Java. He has been exposed to the combination of Confucianism and business since he was a child. In fact, businessmen in Nanhua have some of this.

This kind of thinking, because of ethnic reasons, Chinese people abroad pay more attention to the cultural atmosphere and share the same culture and race in order to maintain unity.

"Minister, don't worry, Anmin will be settled well!" Lin Anmin knows how important his responsibility is. It can be said that the future development of Nanhua is directly related to him!

"Okay! Let go of the position of Mayor of Semarang first. It's not suitable for you to have an official status for this. You can do it in the name of a foreign businessman. At the same time, the Immigration Department will listen to your arrangements. You will directly report how much funds are needed, and the council will directly approve it."

Liu Yiming said happily.

"Minister, if the Qing court comes to stop it, how far can Anmin go?" Lin Anmin wanted to know how much authority he had.

"Nanhua cannot directly confront the Qing court now. You can use the name of British and American businessmen and I will establish a good relationship with the British legation. If the Qing court comes forward, you can go to the British legation. They are very timid and the British protest.

After a while, they won’t care too much." Liu Yiming said.

Liu Yiming thought about this plan for a long time. Recruiting overseas students is just like the students contracted and trained by later companies. Those who want to study abroad have no way? I have some serious British and American companies with aristocratic or banking backgrounds. If I sign the contract, I

I'll find a place for you to study abroad, and then work for me for ten to twenty years, with favorable treatment!

Nowadays, these companies are also legal labor dispatch companies. Yes, you are working in our company, but your job is to work for our partners! As for why the partners are in Nanhua? This is the head office

Decision, don’t do it? Well, you will lose money, liquidated damages, living expenses, as well as sky-high tuition and admission fees.

"Okay, without further ado, I'll get ready first!" Lin Anmin stood up and hurriedly prepared.

"By the way, Minister, how many people can I bring?" Lin Anmin asked.

"I can't give you too much. I'll give you ten bodyguards. You can choose each part, except the top one. You can choose three, but more will not work. However, the Immigration Department will fully cooperate with you." Liu Yiming said.

Seeing that Lin Anmin had really left, Liu Yiming sat down, looked at the telegrams asking for people from everywhere, and scratched his head.

…………

January 20th, today is a special day. Liu Yiming came to the dock. More than 2,000 people gathered here, including 1,000 naval cadets, more than 300 international students, and seven white apprentices. Today is their departure.

Day to travel to England.

Apprentices all have certain academic qualifications. This time they go out to artillery factories, machine tool factories, generator factories, and other high-tech factories to learn technology and production models, which is equivalent to a different kind of international students.

"How are they feeling?" Liu Yiming arrived in a low-key manner, as he did not want to disturb these people's time to say goodbye to their families.

This time I went to the UK, thousands of miles apart, and the skilled workers were fine. They could come back in one to one and a half years on average. But for the navy, it would take three years. Among them, the escort cruisers would be launched in about a year and delivered in about a year and a half, and the battleships would be delivered in about a year and a half.

It will take about two years to launch and about two and a half years to deliver. At the very least, it will not be able to return to Nanhua until mid-1893.

After all, construction has begun. According to the British construction speed, it will definitely be delivered in two and a half years. It depends on whether the Nanhua Navy can bring them back!

"Commander, this..." Zhao Jiaxing looked at the navy who was wiping tears on the ground and didn't know what to say.

"Understand that the soldiers traveled across the ocean in order to protect their homes and the country, and the risks involved are not small. After studying hard, they still have to face war. The day the warships return home is when the war starts again!" Liu Yiming said happily and solemnly.

"Dutch? If we can beat him once, we can beat him once or twice. Beat him until he dare not fight, beat him until he is scared!" Zhao Jiaxing said with a sullen face.

"It's getting late, let's gather together." Liu Yiming looked at the messy scene below and felt inexplicably upset. He wanted to push these people onto the chariot with his own hands! But in a world of great struggle, the strong will be stronger, and the defeated will perish!

History has told him that the most foolish thing to do is to desire to be alone.

The First World War was okay, but the Second World War lasted for decades from the beginning to the aftermath of the war. It was a world-class war, a cold war, a local hot war, and the entire earth. Unless it was a worthless country with a narrow territory, it would not be able to escape.

.

ps: I think South America was also turned into a mess in the aftermath of World War II. Mainly, the Cold War was also the aftermath of World War II.

"Be quiet, Commander Liu has something to say! The navy is gathering!"

Listening to these somewhat shameful words, Liu Yiming clutched the ground with his toes, but he couldn't show it. Under normal circumstances, leaders cannot show weakness, especially in the more critical moments!

"Hello, soldiers and classmates, I am Liu Yiming." Seeing that it was almost time, Liu Yiming began to speak.

"Today, you all go out to learn more advanced knowledge in order to protect your homeland and make the country prosperous and the people safe! I am here to express my gratitude to you on behalf of all the people of Nanhua!"

"The Dutch failed once, but they did not give up. They are training their troops, contacting their allies, and are ready to counterattack at any time! The survival of this country is at stake!"

Liu Yiming's tactics were quiet for a while.

"But! The heroic Nanhua army and navy, and the heroic Nanhua people will not sit still and wait for death. Even if I die, I will choose to die with dignity, instead of being like an animal, stripped of its wild nature, raised in captivity, and finally like a mouse.

Same, die by the sword of the natives!"

"I hope you all will study hard. Nanhua needs everyone to fulfill their duties! I, as well as your families, are waiting for you to come back!"

There was a sound of cheering or venting from the audience, but Liu Yiming just thought it was cheering.

"Get aboard!" Liu Yiming roared.

The naval cadets were the first to board the ship. In order to transport this group of people, Nanhua specially hired ten merchant ships that could carry 300 people for ocean voyages. Together with ten smaller merchant ships in Nanhua, they transported 5,000 people to England throughout Nanhua! And then

More than a thousand people need to be transported. The cost of these people alone is close to half a million pounds per year, which is equivalent to two million taels of silver!

Of course, there are so many people not just in Surabaya. Although they are mainly in Surabaya, there are also a group of people in Semarang and Batavia. These boats will pick up people on the way.

As for the issue of loyalty, Liu Yiming has already thought about it. First of all, it is the international students. Not only do their families live in Nanhua, but they themselves will also sign employment contracts with Nanhua companies, and they are companies that have established cooperation with the United Kingdom. They only wait for the British to

Establish an embassy in South China and formally establish diplomatic relations. This contract with sky-high liquidated damages will take effect in Europe and America at the same time. If you don't come back, you will be compensated! Very few people can afford to compensate for sky-high liquidated damages.

The family's money, and the family in Nanhua...

Not only do the naval cadets have clean family backgrounds and high fighting spirit, but out of a quota of 1,300 people, Liu Yiming sent 1,500 or 200 people! In addition to the political commissar, he is also an instructor, with the same role, except that one is a white-faced person and the other is a liar.

Red face.

Coupled with the long-term concern for the country and the people, patriotic education that penetrates into the basic necessities of life can minimize the possibility of betrayers.

du～The whistle sounds.

Liu Yiming watched the ship slowly start, and people on the shore were filled with tears as they bid farewell to their children, husbands, and fathers.
Chapter completed!
