Chapter 54 The Persian Situation (3)
Two days later, Chinese in East Kalimantan were in Palembang, Chinese in Central Kalimantan announced the establishment of the "Boni Chinese Founding Committee" in Machen, and publicly announced the establishment of the "Boni Country", established the "Provisional Senate", and the "Supreme Military Commission", and even passed the "Boni Basic Law" at the speed of lightning, announcing that "the entire Kalimantan Island has sovereignty except Lan Fang". (Look at the "Piaotian Silk Network")
Before the British responded, even before the Dutch East India authorities responded, the Chinese cabinet announced that it would "recognize the Bolivian Kingdom", and the Chinese parliament passed the proposal at a lightning speed, "adding an emergency budget of 200 million Chinese dollars to cope with the state of emergency."
Sima Zhao's heart is well known to everyone.
What caught the Netherlands off guard was that the already famous fleet of China appeared outside Palembang one day after "Bo Ni Independence", and Lan Fang's Chinese garrison quickly assembled to the "border", and some vanguard troops had even crossed the border directly.
Almost at the same time as the "Boni Kingdom" was officially established, the "Boni Defense Forces" was officially established, with a total of up to 3,000 people. It was equipped with a large number of Japanese equipment and even the "surplus materials" of the Chinese Defense Forces. It also "recruited" a large number of cars and carriages. All its officers were Chinese veterans who had served in service, and even non-commissioned officers were veterans who had served in service or even fought wars.
Such a force is not something that the rabble indigenous people or even the colonial forces of the Dutch East Indian authorities can fight against.
A week and a half later, when the Chinese Marine Corps "at the invitation of Boni to enter Boni", several important cities and transportation majors on Kalimantan were already controlled by Boni Defense Forces, and the indigenous mobs were bleeding, most of them were deported and forced to Java and Sulawesi.
At this time, Jurden finally became "out of anger" like Churchill in London.
Just as he and the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs started a lawsuit again, larger-scale armed conflicts between indigenous people and Chinese people had broken out in various parts of the Dutch East India.
In the eyes of the indigenous people, the conflict between the two tribes of Kalimantan was "well-equipped Chinese militants massacred the indigenous people" and "completely chauvinism", while in the eyes of the Chinese, it was "the lazy and inferior Malays who were greedy and robbed the wealth of the Chinese", but the conclusions were very consistent: blood debt was paid for blood.
In this way, the indigenous people incited a large number of indigenous infantry and police from the Dutch East India and began to "purify" the Chinese. (Look at the "Piaotian Silk Network") Countless Malay mobs threw away betels and took out balancing swords, blowing arrows, shuttle flags, and indigenous infantry and police took out various rifles and pistols to rush to various Chinese settlements. Many middle and lower-level officers even led the reorganized indigenous companies to "fight". The entire Dutch East India became violent like a awakened beast, and even the colonial authorities lost control.
The Dutch colonists, descendants of these declining "sea coachman", relied entirely on the agreement with Britain and the obedience of the Chinese and indigenous people to the colonists. However, in the face of such chaos, the colonial authorities could only barely maintain order in a few big cities, and then sent telegrams to the country for help.
In terms of the Chinese in Southeast Asia, the reaction was not fear but joy. Many places "set off firecrackers" when they received the news.
The Chinese in Southeast Asia have been waiting for too long.
Since Zheng Ying defeated the legal person and joined forces with the Nanyang Chinese Clan Society, he later sent a fleet several times to Nanyang to "protect overseas Chinese" and even developed to regular "visits", which greatly improved the situation of Chinese people in the local area. With the development of Nanyang, a large number of poor Chinese people backed by the fleet went to Nanyang to "scue gold" like a flood that opened the gate, and entered the plantations of various Chinese capitals to work. Nanyang has gradually become the most important raw material production place in the Chinese economic circle built by Zheng Ying and is also an important commodity market.
As the economy of Nanyang and the mainland is becoming more and more integrated, Chinese capital has gradually gained an advantage in Nanyang. Although the colonial authorities of the Dutch East India still insist on the traditional "using the land to control China" and various discrimination policies, they are increasingly unable to suppress the Chinese.
With thirty years of hard work, the proportion of Chinese in the Dutch East India has reached one fifth and more than 30% in the Philippines.
As the Chinese Empire consciously organized a large number of retired soldiers to immigrate to the South China Sea, Chinese self-defense groups in various Chinese settlements also developed rapidly. Using various channels, these self-defense groups continued to obtain weapons and ammunition from the country, and sent children of Nanyang Chinese to receive military training in China under various names, and then returned to Nanyang to join the Chinese self-defense regiment.
The Chinese Self-Defense Corps was also organized strictly, with military schools in the general regiment and even a military school, and there were training classes below to train part-time or even full-time armed personnel, and public activities were conducted under the names of "Security Team", "Joint Defense Team", "Mine Protection Team", "Boxing Gym", etc.
As early as after China defeated the Asian War, these former professional soldiers could not hold back. (Look at the "Piaotianwen.com")
However, under the forced orders of Beijing, they had to give way to the "Empire Scene" and temporarily dormant. However, the former staff officers who were unwilling to be lonely would drink tea and play on the map every day. The combat plan had been formulated many times, and the war chess deduction was also carried out every few days.
Seeing the senior brothers and sisters killing all directions in the north, these former soldiers influenced by nationalism were already in a hot mood.
Faced with the massive "attack" of the natives, these military organizations quickly took off their disguises and showed off their sharp teeth.
The military telephones equipped to the company, the complete set of military defense forces of the Hunting Army, the excellent Chinese guns and ammunition, and the captured Japanese guns and cannons made these Chinese armed forces an army without the name of the army overnight.
Faced with rifles and pistols, the natives could still support them for a while, but when the Chinese self-defense regiment set up light machine guns, mortars, grenade launchers, and even launched 75mm infantry cannons, the natives knew what was going on even if they were stupid. After several battles, the Malay thugs died and injured, and even the "indigenous infantry" did not take advantage.
The conflict between Java and Sumatra shocked the whole world, and its size even surprised the Chinese government in Beijing.
From the bottom of my heart, Zheng Yu didn't expect to make such a big fuss.
But once this trend arises, it is often not something that can be suppressed by suppression.
The Chinese Autonomous Group, who was red-eyed by revenge, simply imitated the Chinese in Kalimantan and prepared to announce the "founding of the country". Seeing that the situation was about to deviate from control, Beijing's urgent telegram in Nanyang was immediately "stopped" the organization.
Under the joint control of the top leaders of the autonomous delegation, local Chinese clans, and peripheral organizations of the General Information Bureau, this trend is generally not out of line, but some sporadic places declare "independence" and "autonomous". As public opinion, the Chinese authorities in Java and Sumatra submitted a "petition" to the Dutch East India authorities and responded within a time limit:
First, recognize Boni and the Dutch colonial authorities withdrew from Kalimantan;
The second punishment is the culprit;
Third, compensate for losses;
Fourth, give high autonomy to other areas of the Dutch East India;
Fifth, Chinese standard language is allowed to be one of the official languages of the colonies;
Sixth, the authorities accept Chinese into the colonial region as senior officials;
Seventh, the Chinese Empire is allowed to have extraterritorial legal power in the Dutch East India to "protect the legitimate rights and interests of the Chinese";
Eighth, abolish discriminatory tax policies, the tax conditions for Chinese and Europeans must be unified.
A "minority" organization issued an ultimatum to the "current government", which is unprecedented. (Let's read the text novels and go to "Piaotian Silk Network")
But the Dutch colonial authorities are really unable to do anything now.
Because while the Chinese authorities in Java and Sumatra filed a "petition", the Chinese Empire government also submitted a diplomatic note with the same content to the Dutch colonial government.
Although there was no deadline reply, the Chinese fleet outside Semarang had taken off its cannon coat and a large number of well-equipped marines even forcibly landed and announced that they would "protect overseas Chinese".
The colonial authorities of the Netherlands East India in the South China Sea were pitifully small, but just a few passing sail warships and a few newly built steam cruisers. The land troops were only a pitiful 30,000 people scattered on four large islands, at least three-fifths of which were indigenous troops.
If such a force had not been relied on the British's thigh, he would have been eliminated in the game in Southeast Asia long ago.
After receiving a request from the Netherlands, the Whitehall in London was immediately quarreled.
The British government and the British Army and Navy have been treating Germany as the main imaginary enemy since 1900, and thus concluded a sincere treaty between Britain and France, and the Sino-British alliance tried to build a "Hadrian's Wall" against Germany. However, the strength shown by China greatly shocked Britain, especially its proximity to Germany, which shocked the British upper-level elites unprecedentedly and had to begin a serious review of the overall strategy.
The final result is a China-UK diplomatic memorandum and a series of agreements, as well as the "Oriental Club" of Britain, France and the United States, on the one hand, it brings China's efforts back to the track of the Sino-UK alliance by selling some interests; on the other hand, it pulls France and the United States to restrain China's next expansion. (Look at the "Piaotian Silk Network" by reading text novels)
But then, what Britain had not expected was China and Germany, and Germany first established a defensive alliance. Germany began to gain a reciprocal position with Britain in China's relations, followed by China-French amendment. The French clearly showed their intention to withdraw from the "Oriental trenches" to avoid being attacked by China and Germany, and were ready to turn their attention back to Europe. Then there was the Persian Revolution. As soon as China took action, it let the British thorn on its back. It was considered to have truly felt the threat to the entire British "one-character long snake formation" after China controlled the eastern coast of the Caspian Sea - the seven-inch life gate of the Suez Canal and the Persian Gulf.
By this time, the British upper class no longer had any unrealistic fantasies about China: this is a truly imperialist country, more realistic than Europeans, more cunning than Jews, and more cold-blooded than Germans. In their eyes, whether it is the British, French, or even Americans and Germans, they are actually just tools.
When they need you, they like to use China's "history" to show that their nation is "peace-loving and keeping promises", but they just want to "restore traditional glory in East Asia."
But when they took action, they were more cruel than anyone else. On the surface, they still bite to death "international public law", "diplomacy" and "believe in all treaties"! On the other side, there were the naked fleets and heavy artillery, airships and motorized infantry!
What Zhu Erdian regrets the most now is that he did not study "Tai Chi" well back then.
In the confrontation with the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, this "China Communications" and "an old friend of the Chinese" were restrained everywhere.
Speaking of Nanyang, the Chinese have brought out the "Memorandum of Sino-British Diplomacy" and pointed to the terms inside:
"The British Empire recognizes that the Chinese Empire has a say in the Central and South Pacific and the Southwest Pacific region and has a say in the interests of local Chinese people." Is this recognized by the UK? Is it a reasonable requirement to protect overseas Chinese and support Chinese independence and autonomy? Is this a violation of the agreement?
"The Chinese Empire recognizes that the British Empire currently has unquestionable sovereignty in Hindustan, British Malaya, British Northern Kalimantan, Australia, New Zealand Islands and other places." Did the empire agree to recognize the Netherlands' sovereignty in the Netherlands in the Netherlands East India?
"The British Empire and the Chinese Empire promise to provide complete protection of the legitimate rights and interests of the other people within the scope of their own sovereignty." Is this destruction of China?
Juerdian looked at Fang Shijian, who was polite and sighed that this man is worthy of being a "Russian". Even the Russian diplomatic community has always learned that he is better than his youth than his youth. He knows the bottom line of domestic orders and knows what is most important to the British Empire. After a while, there is no result. He simply put it directly, "The British Empire only cares about North Kalimantan and Persia."
At this point, Fang Shijian knew that the temperature was almost the same. For the British, everyone's trump cards have been revealed now. If they move forward, they may have to get out of fire. Then they will not be able to get out of Taiwan.
He also responded bluntly that Northern Kalimantan "the empire tends to be taken over by the Boni Kingdom", but it will definitely "give sufficient compensation to British allies". On the Persian side, the Chinese Empire "respected the vested interests of the British Empire and was willing to negotiate on a fair and reasonable basis."
At this time, Zhu Erdian couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
He knew that now was not the time for war between China and Britain to go to war. Britain did not want to fight, and there was no chance of winning after fighting. He had to wait for Britain and the United States to complete the huge shipbuilding plan, wait for the fleet to be renewed, wait for the expansion of the allied armed forces, and wait for China and Germany to fight, and wait for Russia to recover and be pulled into the British and French camp.
What he and his country need most now is time.
Despite his anger, the sly and sloppy Juerdian still knew that his best choice is to deal with it now, to try to hurt Britain's interests as little as possible, and to win over China as much as possible on this basis.
In this case, what he fears most is that the other party has no upper limit or lower limit. He wants nothing and wants nothing to lose. He is completely tempted. In that way, both countries will eventually be forced to an unwanted result.
Seeing that China was relaxed on the Persian issue that Britain cared about the most, Jurden actually "rejured".
In North Kalimantan, there were only a few oil wells in this era, and all of them were dry wells, which means the exploration was defeated.
The onshore oil fields here are actually broken, buried deep, and even have small reserves. They were famous in later generations because of Brunei's rich offshore oil resources.
But in this era, I had never heard of offshore oil production. For the UK, this "enclave" surrounded by Chinese people is more of a "burden" than a benefit.
After repeated quarrels within the British ruling group, they finally had to decide to take "Persia and Kalimantan" as the bottom line, and at the same time "try to avoid the Chinese dominance of the South China Sea", "maintain the Dutch dominance in Java and Sumatra", "ensure that the right to navigate the Strait of Malacca is not threatened" and "stability of British colonies". As for Chinese autonomy, "this is a fact long ago, but it is just an after-recognition", and this "principle of after-recognition is important to the current adjustment of China-UK relations."
After completing self-comfort with a series of high-sounding diplomatic rhetoric, the British diplomatic community began a "new round of exchange of interests with China" with peace of mind.
Jurden put the Dutch colonial rights and interests in East India as bargaining chips on the negotiating table without any guilt, and even "didn't notify the Dutch."
But on the Persian issue, the Chinese have put forward a deadly proposal, namely, to include the Germans in the Persian oil system, "China, Britain and Germany have established a joint venture oil company to share the benefits with the Persian government", and the British-Bols Oil Company "will be "full compensation" for the fees that have been paid.
Zhu Erdian almost suffered a cerebral hemorrhage at that time.
The Germans are already strengthening their oil investment in Romania and signing trade agreements with the Chinese to import oil. If one leg is inserted in Persia, the UK's plan to block Germany and destroy the Berlin-Baghdad railway will almost be bankrupt. The Germans are equivalent to establishing land-based ties with China directly and there is no need to go through Russia again!
China and Germany meet in Persia from both east and west......
By this time, Zhu Erdian had already begun to regret the "that damn Sino-Russia peace treaty". Unexpectedly, in these impressions, the Chinese who liked to praise their achievements after some achievements and then started a new round of internal struggles, were actually moving forward step by step, not even giving a chance to breathe!
Jurden "almost roared" and rejected this "whimsical plan" and directly announced that "EBP is the fundamental interest of the British Empire." Then he said goodbye in a hurry and left the negotiation room without looking back.
Zhu Erdian's loss of composure made the Chinese cabinet a little scared.
Zheng Yu immediately got the news. After an emergency analysis of the situation, the Palace of China still issued an instruction: waiting for a new proposal from the UK.
In a state of anxiety, Fang Shijian quickly received feedback from Zhu Erdian: Let's talk about it.
