The journey starts from the Titanic

As night fell, inside the Governor of Jakarta, the lights were bright.

The governor Gullit, Colonel Van Basten, the Colonial Speaker, and the interior officials of the Governor's House, and other prominent figures in Jakarta, all sat together, with bright lights shining on their pale faces.

Even the gentleman who pays attention to demeanor in ordinary times is a little unsure and uneasy.

They are about to die!

The reinforcements are far away in the Mediterranean Sea, how to spend this difficult week has become a big stone in the hearts of all the elders.

Some people have faint regrets in their hearts, why not be free and easy, sell their property, and escape to safe Singapore?

Well, the South China Army has not blocked the port yet, and Jakarta's external traffic is still perfect, but how long can this last?

Let's avoid it first!

Members of the Jakarta parliament have great powers, and there is no need to stay like Governor Gullit and cannot escape. They can easily escape elsewhere.

Consulates in the outer islands or the United Kingdom and the United States are good choices. Some well-informed people are already planning a retreat before coming to the Governor's Mansion.

Governor Gullit and Colonel Van Basten are still the same daytime saying: encourage, persevere, wait for aid, combine inside and outside, and turn things around.

But the savvy parliamentarians don’t really believe this rhetoric. They sullenly listened to Governor Gullit and Colonel Van Basten singing and making a peace. If the Dutch and Indian colonial army could be trusted, they would not let anyone hit Jakarta. The city is down.

Regarding the criticism of the incompetence of the Governor's Palace and the army, these congressmen have quarreled several times before, but to no avail, they are numb and just want to leave this damn place.

In the afternoon, the gunshots on the edge of Jakarta made the panicked Jakarta city even more panic, and the port became the first choice for many citizens to escape.

Of course, those who are able to escape by boat are all property owners, rich Dutch gentlemen, and it is impossible for ordinary people to get valuable ferry tickets.

Most Javanese in Jakarta have mixed feelings.

Well, the Javanese who can live in the city are all very well mixed. Those who hold a small position in the government are people of a bit of social status.

They hate the domineering Dutch, but they have become accustomed to the power and arrogance of the Dutch. They are usually very submissive to the Dutch, and strive for multiple second-class citizens.

Cooperating with the powerful Dutch is the consensus of the upper echelons of the indigenous Indonesians. In this regard, they are the same as the Indians.

Now they see the powerful Dutch fled in a hurry, completely breaking the image in the hearts of the native people in the city: the Dutch are nothing great, they will also be afraid and will run away.

But why are the Chinese from the outer islands?Aren't they weak and incompetent, afraid to speak up when being bullied?

How will Nanhua's arrival treat the residents of the city?

Jakarta can't sleep at night, and a huge night covers everyone's hearts.

Contrary to Jakarta, which was worried and the sky was falling, when the news of the successful landing reached Medan, Medan was boiling.

They are full of confidence, believing that the powerful Chinese soldiers will destroy the Dutch nest, and the Chinese will soon become the masters of this land.

Zhenhua Building.The South China Army Base Camp is different from the joyous crowds outside. There is a hint of caution in the excitement.

"Intelligence shows that the British fleet in Singapore has begun to gather. They may intervene in the Java Sea at any time, and we are completely unable to resist them.

Dutch reinforcements in Europe have also accelerated, and they may arrive in the Indonesian archipelago a day or two earlier.The British have provided them with many aspects, and it is possible to rent warships to the Dutch, so we must as soon as possible!"

Thomas warned with a stern face.

"That's right! Now our expansion has reached the maximum. After a large number of workers joined the army, Meihua's production has already had a great impact. The supply of materials is also becoming increasingly tight, and our reserves can last up to two. month."

Yao Hongmin reminded.

"Don't worry! The Dutch are dead. The fastest is three days and the slowest is one week. By then, big cities such as Jakarta, Surabaya and Semarang will be ours."

He Wenxiu believes.

The telegram sent from the Java front line showed that the Dutch were in an embarrassing force and lacked weapons. Some of the troops were formed temporarily and were defeated by a single blow. They were not enemies of the South China Army.

"Yes! I have full confidence in our troops!" Chief of Staff Marx?Bauer nodded.

"That's good! We will celebrate the New Year in Jakarta at the end of this year!" Situ Meiden laughed.Xin said: Jakarta's location is much better than Medan, as the future capital cannot be more suitable.

The South China Army Bingfeng knew that Jakarta was about to fall, leaving many people unable to sleep.

John Dulles, the American envoy who made a special trip from Manila to Medan, was a little excited. He didn't expect the South Chinese to be so powerful, and it seemed that they were about to take Java Island.

He smiled at the South China Foreign Minister Chen Youren who hosted the evening party for him and said, "Congratulations on your successful landing on Java Island. It is really amazing!"

"Thank you. This is not only a victory for South China, but also a victory for the justice forces pursuing equality and freedom. It is inseparable from the support of many friends who care about and help South China."

Chen Youren smiled.

After speaking, he and Dulles had a drink gently."For our friendship, cheers!"

"For our friendship, cheers!"

Dulles nodded, smiling with a hint of reservedness.

"I am very optimistic about the potential of Java. It would be great if American companies can invest in the local area and contribute to the local economic development. Mr. Chen, do you think so?"

Dulles laughed.

If South China can really take the island of Java, it would be best to let American capital replace Dutch capital.After all, the foundation of these Chinese is still very weak and they cannot do without the support of the United States. I believe that American funds are also urgently needed.

"Of course! Whether it is Medan or Jakarta, we welcome American capitalists to invest. This is good for both parties. We will discuss specific matters in detail.

I believe that as long as the two sides are honest and respect each other, Mr. Dulles' trip to Asia will definitely be rewarding."

Chen Youren smiled.

"Thank you. I am looking forward to it." Dulles had a big smile on his face.

He came to Nanyang this time to open up the Indonesian archipelago market for Wall Street and major American oil companies and to obtain the Indonesian archipelago resources for the development of American industry.

The South China government spoke very well, giving Dulles full confidence in the next action.

The mood of the British was not as good as Dulles, and they were taken aback by Nan Hua's actions.

Before Clifford returned to Singapore, Nan Hua attacked Java and pushed the front under Jakarta within a day, which really surprised him.

He was then invited to the Governor's Mansion to report on the achievements of Medan and his party and discuss countermeasures against South China.

The situation was critical and the fall of Jakarta was imminent. After the news came back to London, Colonial Secretary Churchill believed that the rise of South China was a serious threat to the interests of Britain and demanded a tough attitude towards South China and even dispatched armed forces if necessary.

However, the British Foreign Office instructed the Government of Singapore to maintain a cautious attitude and try to avoid Britain being involved in the war.At the same time, the security of the British colonies on the Malay Peninsula must be ensured.

South China attacked the island of Java, and the news spread back to Europe. The Queen of the Netherlands immediately came out to condemn South China's brutality and said that she would send an army to fight against the bold South China.

Privately, the Dutch became scared, and Amsterdam sent high-level representatives to the Indonesian archipelago to prepare for negotiations with South China.
