The journey starts from the Titanic

The Indonesian archipelago is rich in oil, and the oil industry has endless potential. Now Huang’s Jianyuan Company has developed to the extreme in the sugar industry. It is better to invest in the future energy industry.

He was going to pull in his son-in-law Lin Yimin, and Lin Yimin would join, and it would be convenient for the Huang family to get Situ Nan's help.

As soon as Huang Zhonghan spoke, he immediately got the approval of the senior management of Meihua Company. They have always wanted to enter the oil industry.

At present, the South China American-Chinese faction and the military have the same origin. They are both radical hawks. They have an extremely tough attitude towards the outside world and often prefer to plunder local resources.

For the sake of Aceh’s oil, it would be inappropriate to occupy Aceh without giving the Aceh people a chance.The Acehnese can fight the Dutch, who can guarantee that they will not rebel again in the future?

And if natural allies like Aceh are turned into enemies, how do other races in the Indonesian archipelago view the Chinese?

As for the future oil interests, wouldn't it be better to give the Acehnese a share to them to move closer to South China and gain national stability?

Gao Wei was secretly anxious, for fear that these greedy guys would act recklessly.

"Now we have obtained oil from the Minas area through Occidental Petroleum, so we don’t have to worry about the lack of oil resources for the time being. Other parts of the Indonesian archipelago also contain a large amount of oil. Don’t be our national strategy because of the oil in Aceh. Plan to increase trouble.

Besides, the people in Aceh don't know it yet, so don't worry about it."

Gao Wei persuaded.

"What's your opinion?" Situ Meideng asked He Wenxiu.

"We'll talk about winning." He Wenxiu said simply.

His words made Gao Wei feel relieved.

This person who cherishes words like gold has expressed his opinion, and everyone knows how to respond to the Acehnese.

"Let’s do this! We can guarantee that the Aceh people will not immigrate to Aceh in large numbers. In the future, the Aceh region will also gain a certain degree of autonomy, but we have the obligation to actively build the Aceh region and work for the Aceh people. Welfare, the economic construction of Aceh needs Medan's guidance.

In addition, the Aceh region has an important position. It is our base for going out of the Indian Ocean in the future and should not be missed."Situ Meideng gave a final word, and in this way he decided the fate of Aceh.

When discussing the fate of Aceh in Medan, the atmosphere in the Jakarta Governor-General's House was solemn.The situation in Sumatra worried Governor Gullit and Colonel Van Basten.

After a few days of fighting, the South China Army's Second Division drove Major General Van Nistelrooy's troops back to Banda Aceh, and the time-consuming and long-term effort to wipe out the Aceh rebels fell short. At the same time, after being attacked several times by the South China Army, More than two thousand kingdoms will be buried in the tropical rain forest.

"The strength of the South China Army is amazing. They have sophisticated weapons and even surpass us. I really don't understand how they did it." Colonel Van Basten frowned.

Now the Dutch and Indian colonial forces have to face the South China Army and Aceh armed forces independently. The situation is not optimistic. Before receiving reinforcements, if the other side launches an offensive, it is very likely that Major General Van Nistelrooy’s troops will be trapped in Banda Aceh and cut off supplies. , Major General Ruud van Nistelrooy may not last long.

"Damn it, those yellow-skinned monkeys are so bold! Where is our fleet? Order them to land in Medan, move fast, can't let them do anything wrong." Governor Gullit roared.

He has already received a question from Amsterdam, and the parliament is very dissatisfied with him. If it were not for the tension, Amsterdam might have to remove the incompetent Governor Gullit.

Everyone knows he is innocent, but someone has to take responsibility?Originally the best candidate was Governor Van Persie, but that guy disappeared after leaving Jakarta.

Well, I also swept away a lot of treasures, it is probably hiding somewhere to enjoy the blessing.

"However, intelligence shows that the rebels have built fortifications in the port, equipped with large-caliber shore defense artillery. If we force a landing..." Colonel Van Basten cautiously advised.

He was a little worried about blasting the kingdom's precious fleet with the enemy's coastal defense artillery. Although he didn't know the quality of the opponent's artillery, he could imagine with his toes that Major General Ruben, the commander of the fleet would not agree.

But Governor Gullit ignored the military's opposition. He had had enough of these incompetent soldiers.Hearing Colonel Van Basten's retort, he became impatient and said rudely: "Damn it! Are you scared? Have the descendants of the sea coachman who traversed the world's oceans have lost their fighting spirit?"

"Do not!"

Colonel Van Basten was drunk by the governor, and immediately stood up and saluted, his face flushed slightly."Don't worry, the brave soldiers of the kingdom will immediately strike a fatal blow to the enemy."

"Okay! I am waiting for your good news." Governor Gullit nodded in satisfaction.He smiled and said, "The country has agreed to send reinforcements."

"That's really good news." Major Van Basten said with a smile, and said that he still has a faint pain in his butt, and he has to sleep on his stomach every day, which is extremely uncomfortable.

During the day, I worked hard for the battle on the front line, and from time to time I had to endure the roar of the governor to persuade this guy to stop making bad ideas.

With such performance as a patient, Colonel Van Basten felt that he had contributed too much to the kingdom.

The Governor's Mansion breathed a sigh of relief, but Major General Ruben, the commander of the fleet, was embarrassed after receiving the order from the Governor's Mansion.

Chapter 88 Sweeping Sumatra (6)

While fighting in Aceh, the South China Army’s plan to fully occupy Sumatra was also underway, and the Dutch and Indian authorities had already lost control of North Sumatra.

The cities along the Strait of Malacca, Minli, Tinggi, Sintar, and Tanjong Balai, fell into the hands of the South China Army.

The southern Indian Ocean port cities such as Barus and Silva are also under the control of the South China Army. The South China Navy, which had been a black house before, can't wait to gather at Silva Port to bid farewell to the hardship of pirates.

They had been following the US Navy’s Robinson’s ambush in the waters of the Strait of Malacca. They had a good understanding of the waters of the Indonesian archipelago. If they did not encounter the Dutch East India Fleet, landing operations would not be a problem.

A Marine Corps trained on Hainan Island two years ago was also sent to Sibuya, preparing to take a passenger ship of the Southern Star Steamship Company for cross-sea operations and land in Badong, the capital city of West Sumatra.

The Dutch and Indian authorities have always been sloppy in defense against Sumatra. They hardly fortify them. Now they can only watch the South China Army attack in several directions and keep attacking Sumatra.

The first-line troops of the South China Army do not need to do it themselves, as long as the second-line troops are sent directly into the local area, they can take over power.

After returning from Medan, the Batak tribe and other indigenous chiefs actively cooperated with the South China Ministry of Interior to establish a military government there.They received large sums of money from Nanhua, and they were busy selling grain, coffee, pepper, minerals and other materials to Meihua Company.

Under Gao Wei's enlightenment, young people from the Batak tribe and other indigenous tribes joined the South China Army as mercenaries.In fact, they are qualified leaders and translators.

With the participation of the local indigenous people, the process of the South China Army went smoothly. It liberated Sumatra within a month. At the same time, the main force of the South China Third and Fourth Divisions went all the way south to the neighboring provinces of Riau and West Sumatra.

When the news reached Jakarta, they were shocked for several days. They did not understand how the South China Army could pass through the dense tropical rain forest. They rushed out of the forest and took over cities.

Before the local Dutch and Indian government had time to react, it became a captive of the South China Army, and the Dutch officials who had been aloof became prisoners.

The Minister of the Interior Gao Wei was very excited about the progress of the South China Army. He successively sent more than a dozen task forces to accept the regime with the army. A large number of employees of Meihua Company changed into task force members and kept accepting the assets of the Dutch and Indian government. Of course There is also the industry of wealthy Dutch merchants.

The South China military government confiscated all the Dutch businessmen’s properties and dealt with a group of Dutch businessmen who had acted badly. They distributed part of their properties to the local aboriginal nobles and bought the hearts of the local indigenous people.

The indigenous aristocrats who benefited began to cooperate with the South China Army. As the South China implemented a more tolerant policy and allowed them to participate in the formation of the new government, those natives who were crushed by the Dutch immediately changed their faces and actively cooperated with the South China Army.

In addition to the six main divisions, the South China Army has now formed 100,000 people from the 10th to 19th South China Divisions as a second-line force responsible for security tasks in the occupied areas.

These second-line units are all industrial workers from Meihua Company, miners, farm workers, volunteer youths from various places, or other indigenous soldiers.

If there is no accident, these security forces will get a lot of land there in the future.Therefore, the forces that dared to make goodwill with the Dutch and Indian authorities were ruthlessly attacked by these people who yearned for the land. In the end, the loser lost everything, and the victor stood up from their bodies.

Outskirts of Banda Aceh.

The first large-scale battle between the South China Army and the Dutch and Indian colonial forces is about to begin.All officers and men of the Second Division were eager to try.

The steel gun has been polished, the bayonet has been sharpened.The gunman opened the insurance and loaded the bullet.They were a little nervous and touched the helmets on their heads from time to time, hoping that this iron guy could protect their precious head.

More than a dozen armored vehicles made rumbling sounds, like beasts about to pounce, using machine guns and machine guns to tear the enemy's defense line at any time.

There were more than twenty trucks behind the armored vehicle, which were full of soldiers. They were about to follow behind the armored car body and use their submachine guns to wipe out the enemy forces that appeared in their eyes.

The artillery was arranged in the rear. The 2nd Division was equipped with a 105mm caliber howitzer company, a 75mm caliber mountain artillery battalion, and many mortars for the infantry.
