The journey starts from the Titanic

Robes stopped when he heard the words and looked at He Wenxiu angrily.

Today, as a giant on Wall Street, Robles is one of the few who can drift outside Morgan, and is threatened by a guy who came out of the woods on a remote island?

However, I thought of competing with this guy once when I ran to California, and it turned out that I was knocked down by He Wenxiu's seemingly acceptable western boxing.

The blue nose and face were swollen, and a look of embarrassment suddenly appeared in Robes' mind.He thought for a while, and felt that it was foolish to discuss force with He Wenxiu, a brutal and ruthless guy.

Seeing that Robles and He Wenxiu started to make a fuss right after they met, the atmosphere was a little nervous, Yao Hongmin and Gao Wei on the side could not help but look at Situ Nan.

Situ Nan smiled and stared at the two of them, not worried that they would fight.

really.After a while, Robles smiled, opened his hands, looked at He Wenxiu, and said: "I can't tell you. Your old scumbag has not changed at all. Okay! Tell me about what you have done in the woods these years Something coming?"

These words made Yao Hongmin and Gao Wei feel relieved.They knew that He Wenxiu had a strong relationship with Situ Nan, but they didn't know that he and Robles were also irresistible.So there is not much to say about this, but Wenxiu who is cold and scary has a deeper experience.

"Gao Wei, tell me about the situation in Nanyang." Situ Nan suggested.Secretary He Yongyuan immediately hung up a huge map of the Netherlands.

"Okay." Gao Weilin said in his heart: Xirou is here.

He walked to the map excitedly and pointed to the island of Sumatra, saying: "My strength is mainly concentrated on the two big islands of Sumatra and Borneo. Several major cities such as Medan, Palembang, Dumai, and Pontianak are concentrated in the United States. In recent years, we have mainly emigrated to these cities, the number of which has exceeded 700,000.

Most of them are companies related to Meihua Company and Meihua Company.In order to manage Chinese affairs, in accordance with the Dutch practice of governing China with Chinese, apart from me, I did the Jiabi order in Medan. There are also many Chinese cities where our people have served as local affairs officials.Except for a few high-ranking Dutch officials, many real powers have fallen into our hands.

Java Island is the strongest place for the Dutch, especially the big city of Jakarta. They have very strict control and are the stronghold of the Dutch in the Indonesian archipelago.Most of their fleet and army are concentrated there.

Although we have been infiltrating, the situation is not very good.What is gratifying is that after integrating the influence of Huang Zhonghan and other Chinese families in Surabaya and Semarang in Central Java, Meihua Company has controlled the local economy, and almost all large farms and forest farms are our sphere of influence. .In addition to little improvement in political status, we have economically controlled half of the Netherlands and India."

"What's the reaction of the Dutch governor?" Situ Nan asked.

"The fellow Van Persie seems to have noticed something, but he did not recklessly send troops to sweep, but hastened his efforts in various places. He has been full in recent years.

In Java and other places, the Dutch's cruel economic policies not only victimized the Chinese, but also the indigenous people were dissatisfied, and some small organizations had already rebelled.Some were funded by us, and some were inspired by the Soviet Union.

The term of Governor Van Persie will expire in two months, and I think he will adopt a different policy for the newcomers."

Having said this, Gao Wei paid special attention to Situ Nan's expression. Situ Nan listened with a calm expression that made Gao Wei slightly disappointed.According to his opinion, before the new governor takes office, he should act first.

Chapter 41

"Hongmin, what's our situation in the Malay Peninsula? If the British intervene, does Meihua have any countermeasures? Tu Nan asked.

Meihua Company should be called Meihua Consortium.The investment in the Netherlands and India is only half of the investment of the US-China consortium in Nanyang. The British control of the Malay Peninsula, Penang, Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, Ipoh and other major cities, tin industry, trade, rubber, shipping, finance, etc. For the business, there is a total of one or two billion dollars in total. It is hard to guarantee that the British will not have bad thoughts.

It’s just because Meihua has the name of an American company and behind it there is a powerful William consortium. The British are not easy to act rudely, otherwise their investments in other places will be retaliated by the US and the William consortium.

The William Consortium has a good relationship with some local consortia in the UK, so as long as Meihua does not do anything out of the ordinary, the British will not start.As for the cruel business war, it has been there since the beginning.

"In this regard, we have always been very disciplined and did not let the British grasp any handle. It is said that the British had revealed some news to the Governor of the Netherlands not long ago. I don't know why the government of the Netherlands and India was suppressed.

Speaking of which, Van Persie is really greedy.Meihua Company has estimated that he may have robbed hundreds of millions of dollars in property during his tenure.In addition to more than half of the country, he still has tens of millions of assets in his hands.

Some are deposited in American and Chinese Bank, and more are deposited in British banks or in Europe.Specifically, we did not find out that the Government House must have a lot of treasures that cannot be taken away.We better not let go of this fat pig."Yao Hongmin said with a greedy expression, and said in his heart: Do you want to leave after taking Meihua's money?

"This is not in a hurry. It should be ours that no one can take away. If you take it, you must return it obediently." Situ Nan smiled softly and ordered, "The main thing is to take defensive measures. Once you start, The British must have increased their surveillance of Meihua, and it is possible to create obstacles."

Yao Hongmin nodded.Knowing that after the event, the British will not be so happy to make Meihua's funds want to go directly to the Netherlands and India.

"It's you. Old He." Situ Nan looked at He Wenxiu expectantly.So much has been discussed just now, the real decision is to grab the leverage.

call!

He Wenxiu's face narrowed and nodded solemnly.He walked to the big map and introduced: "Medan. We are in the industrial center of Sumatra. I will not talk about guns and shipbuilding, but it is certain that we are more abundant than the Dutch. Supplies."

Having said that, he paused slightly.The Dutch were bent on plundering the local area and never developed a decent industry.With the exception of Meihua Company and North Sumatra, which is controlled by the Zhi Gong Party, with Medan as the center, the entire Dutch and Indian region has inherited the colonial economic system of the East India Company as always. The plantation economy has developed well, but it is getting started. , Have to rely on the barrel of the gun in his hand.

"How does it feel like the American Civil War?" Robes interjected.

"It's a bit like." Situ Nan smiled faintly and asked, "Can our arsenal in the Philippines deliver ammunition supplies from the east to Borneo by sea?"

"It should be possible. The Dutch fleet is limited and cannot block large areas of the ocean. But they will block Medan for sure.

We have a few submarines in our hands. If we lure them into the preset battlefield and sink a few Dutch warships, things will be much easier.

The only worry is that Medan is close to the Strait of Malacca. Once a naval battle is fought there, it will cause the Royal Fleet to intervene, which will cause some trouble."

He Wenxiu looked at Situ Nan. She was indeed a little jealous of the British. If the British were dragged in, things would be complicated.

"After defeating the Dutch fleet, will the Army be able to control the entire Sumatra before the British intervene?" Situ Nan asked.

Time is the most critical factor.The scheming British will not intervene in the war casually. They have learned a lesson from the First World War.But after a long delay, it's hard to say.

"Yes. If the British can intervene to establish Sumatra, and at the same time break the blockade of the Dutch fleet through a sea ambush, the situation will be favorable." Robes said.

"No problem. After years of business, we have 50,000 troops and 100,000 trained young men on Sumatra.

If the situation is unfavorable, we can summon 200,000 workers from Meihua and arm them all within three months.

We are in a favorable position in terms of firepower and intelligence.

In addition, we have 30,000 troops and 80,000 young men in Borneo.Our regular troops are all strictly trained and live in the tropical rain forest all the year round. If the Dutch and Indian troops hit in one head, I will definitely let them get out."He Wenxiu promised.

It seems that if the 100,000 or so troops piled up with money under his command can't even win the Dutch and the indigenous colonial army, it really makes no sense.

He smiled again: "Now the ships of the Southern Star Shipping Company are transferring troops from Hainan and Guangxi. More than 10,000 troops that have passed the test of the Guangdong-Guangxi War have entered our designated positions one after another.

According to the results of our discussions with Guangzhou and Nanning, there will be a total of 30,000 people from the mainland participating in this nation-building battle.Situ, we are ready, just wait for you."

Having said that, He Wenxiu looked at Situ Nan excitedly.

"Yeah. Don't hurry." Situ Nan thought for a while. The eleventh rigorously trained army, 200,000 militiamen, and the hundreds of thousands of young and strong labor force of Meihua Company, almost concentrated the essence of Nanyang Chinese. It shouldn't be a big problem to defeat the Dutch, even if you can't occupy all of the Indonesian archipelago, it is not a big problem to take Sumatra and Borneo.

"What about the navy? Except for the submarine in Medan, I remember that I had a lot of pirates back then?" Situ Nan asked with a smile.

"Fifteen armed merchant ships, all refueling rapid-fire guns and machine guns, it should be no problem if the warships can't be matched. The Dutch fleet is all old warships. We can run away if we can't beat them. But we are going to use these. Merchant ships attacked the enemy’s transportation supply lines and attacked Dutch merchant ships in the Java Sea and other maritime transport. In this regard, we have accumulated a lot of experience."

He Wenxiu paused, and then said: "In addition to armed merchant ships, we have three destroyers and five torpedo ships, which were assembled from Venezuela and other countries. We did not install weapons before. We are now in Guangxi. Fangchenggang is equipped with a weapon system."

When he said this, he frowned slightly, and added with some dissatisfaction: "When I was in Guangxi, those ships were able to run. Under the guidance of the German officers, our sailors had no problem sailing.

Well, many of the crew members were sent by the Southern Star Shipping Company, and they are also familiar with the navy around Malacca.However, the shooting level is a bit bad. When the time comes to fight at sea, it is estimated that the situation is not optimistic."

"Can you run?"

Situ Nan listened and laughed, "It's good to be able to run. It's okay if you can't hit, and the Dutch's skills are not that good? At most, it's a little better than you. We will always hit a few more shots.

Let me tell you the good news. Not long ago, I ordered several American warships, all of which are emerging destroyers. Now it is estimated that they have been driven to South America. When you return, you will find a way to take them away.There are only a few major naval powers, but certainly not the Netherlands."

Listening to Situ Nan's words, He Wenxiu immediately said: "Even if you can't hit it, you can just drive the boat and hit it. We have many boats and good boats. As long as you are not afraid of death, I don't believe that you can't beat the old coachman."
