The journey starts from the Titanic

They are so excited!

Even though they knew that the South China Army had beaten the Dutch out of their armor, even though they knew that their strength was stronger than the enemy, and even though they knew that South China would definitely win, at this moment, when the expected result finally came, they couldn't help but cheer. .

That feeling is indescribable. No amount of gorgeous rhetoric can describe their rich emotions from the bottom of their hearts-they have suffered too much humiliation, paid countless efforts, and placed unlimited hope for the new life. In order to win independence, Fighting for living space, they struggled, endured, struggled, and finally succeeded.

The First World War in Medan was related to the rise and fall of South China. A group of South China veterans put aside other things and gathered at the Wanghualou Hotel to listen to reports sent back from the front.

A car rushed in. An officer jumped out of the car, holding a telegram in his hand, and rushing in while shouting loudly: "Victory, the Dutch surrendered!"

"boom!"

He staggered into the conference room, and all of the founders of Nanhua focused on the blushing face of the breathless young officer.

"Victory... profit, the Dutch... surrendered!" The reporting officer handed the telegram from the front to Situ Meiden.

"Surrendered?" Situ Meideng was stunned for a moment, and immediately reacted, and huge liking flooded his haggard face.

At this time, other people also reacted, they cheered into a ball...

Medan has become a sea of ​​joy, and everyone knows that the Dutch have surrendered, especially those elderly people who turn their heads silently, and a few drops of muddy tears are secretly dropped.

"The Dutch surrendered?" Sir Clifford had just come ashore from Bela Bay, and he came here specially from Singapore.

Looking at the cheering Chinese on the dock, he felt a little complicated, silently digesting the news that made him a little surprised but expected.

This is the Chinese world!

Although like Singapore, the streets are full of yellow-skinned and dark-eyed Chinese, but they are more confident and calm, and Medan has almost no familiar Victorian flavor, only modern architecture or houses with southern Chinese characteristics.

How to evaluate Nanhua?

How much potential does this newly emerging neighbor across the strait have?

A wave of thoughts flashed through Clifford's mind.

Before contacting the South China government, he planned to carefully observe the city, these Chinese people he did not know.

"Is the English here? It's so fast!"

At a high-level government meeting, the arrival of the British added a touch of color to the jubilant Medan.

"Minister Chen, it's up to you." Smiling at Chen Youren who was about to try.

Chen Youren nodded.He smiled and said: "No hurry, let the British people cool down for two days. But the army should take over the southern area as soon as possible to create established facts, and to cooperate with the work of our Ministry of Foreign Affairs."...

The news of the surrender of the main force of the Dutch and Indian colonial forces quickly spread throughout Southeast Asia. Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Los Angeles received good news almost at the same time, and they all sent congratulatory telegrams to the branches of the Communist Party and Meihua Company around the world, and all Chinese who cared about South China Excited.

They believe that this is just the beginning, a new country is about to be born, a nation has one more possibility, and those who are hesitant and cold have one more chance to choose.

Expectation is like a seed, quietly taking root in the hearts of countless Chinese.

"Haha! I finally breathed a sigh of relief." After the excitement, Situ Meideng said to his old partner Huang Sande with emotion.

"For others, all this happened in just a few days, but most people don't know how we came over these years." Huang Sande said.

"This is just the beginning. In the future, we will go northward to regain the mountains and rivers of our homeland. Come and finish this cup!" Situ Meideng drank it.

That night, the two last powerful old guys in Nanhua gathered together secretly, drank all night happily, and said a lot.

After the news of Medan reached Aceh, Situ Yong finally didn't have to hold back.The remaining 5000 people of the South China Second Division still trapped the Dutch and Indian colonies in Banda Aceh to join the army.

"These Dutch people really didn't see the coffins and didn't shed tears. Order to go down. I will spend the night in Banda Aceh tonight."

Situ Yong said with pride.

"By the way, inform Hassan and tell him that it is time for him to fulfill his promise."

Inside the city of Banda Aceh.After receiving the surrender of the Dutch and Indian colonial forces in Medan, Major General Van Nistelrooy remained silent for a long time.

After being besieged by the South China Army for so many days, the waiting reinforcements took the initiative to get into the pockets of others, and he had already accepted his fate.

"Order to continue and surrender to the South China Army." He finally said this sentence that he had endured for a long time.

At this point, the battle in Aceh also came to an end, and South China replaced the Dutch and Indian authorities as the new ruler of Aceh.

Hassan returned to Banda Aceh with the Free Aceh Movement armed, and looked at the South China Army patrolling the streets with awe in his eyes.

"Peace and development, these are the themes of Aceh in the future. This place can't stand the next wave of destruction." Coming out of the South China Army Command, Situ Yong's words rang in his ears again.

After the end of the Aceh War, South China established the Aceh Special Administrative Region, giving the Acehnese certain autonomy rights and allowing the Acehnese to participate in government work.

Although there is a gap with Hassan's requirements, compared with the strict colonial policies of the Dutch and Indian authorities, it is not a small improvement, which delights the Acehnese who desire peace.

The Free Aceh Movement was incorporated by South China and incorporated into the newly formed Aceh Division, with Hassan as the commander, but the training, logistics, and operations of the Aceh Division were controlled by officers transferred from the South China Army.

After the Aceh Division replenished its personnel, the number reached 8,000. They were transferred out of Aceh to participate in security operations in South Sumatra.

In addition to the Aceh Division, the South China Army also established the Batak Division. Soldiers were recruited from Batak and a few other indigenous peoples. The senior officers in the military were held by Chinese.

Both the Aceh division and the Batak division are the knives in Nanhua's hands, and they are the advantageous weapons for the barbarians.

Especially the Aceh Division, they suffered from the Dutch and Indian colonial forces during the Aceh battle, their homes were destroyed, their relatives were killed, and they hated the Dutch and the Javanese and Sundanese of the Dutch.

Had it not been for the protection of South China, the captives of the Dutch and Indian colonial forces would have been torn apart by the Acehnese.

How to deal with prisoners of war, the South China Army has long established a plan.

Although the Dutch repeatedly demanded that they be treated with equal rank, except for a few high-ranking officers, the other Dutch prisoners were sent to the reform-through-labor team.

Previously, due to the conscription, the farms of Meihua Company lost a lot of labor, which happened to be supplemented by these free labor.Dutch prisoners of war wanted to use their labor to alleviate their crimes.

In order to cope with future negotiations and demand a ransom from the Dutch government, Meihua is still friendly to the Dutch prisoners of war and the tasks assigned to them are not onerous.

Even so, the proud Dutch worked under the bayonet and whip of the yellow-skinned monkey they despised, and they felt humiliated.

However, the kind-hearted Chinese quickly taught them how to respect the Chinese with whips and fists. After repairs, the Dutch prisoners of war were honest, and their so-called proud self-esteem was trampled on to nothing.

They were lucky, and their dog-legged Javanese were specially treated by South China.Building roads, mining, the most painful and tiring words let them do...

The Chinese will teach these lazy black skins what hardworking and selfless dedication is.

Chapter 100

It is difficult for people later to simply and correctly evaluate the war between the Chinese and the Dutch in the Indonesian archipelago in the summer of 1922.

The Chinese have won the victory, they have won the so-called survival space. From then on, the Chinese have traveled from their home country to the South China Sea. They are no longer sold as slaves to the Nanyang Islands like their ancestors. His own life created wealth for the Western colonists, without gaining anything, and finally died in a foreign land.

They have become upright citizens. The South China government treats domestic compatriots and allows them to do business and farm in South China. Not only does it have no restrictions, but it also provides many benefits.
