  Chapter 199 Java War

  In mid-April 1948, the war between the Netherlands and Java was still in a stalemate.

  Although the Dutch army has an absolute advantage in terms of the quality of soldiers and weapons and equipment, the number of them is too small.

   Just like before World War II, in various strongholds in the vast Java region, the number of garrisons may not even exceed one squad.

  With this amount of manpower, as long as the Javanese army hides in the jungle, the Dutch army has nothing to do.

  Its own firepower advantage cannot be brought into play, so it can only be trapped in the city and guard various strategic transportation points.

   And unable to go further into the jungle to destroy those Javanese troops.

  However, it was in this situation of confrontation between the two parties that on the night of April 17, an army suddenly descended from the sky and attacked the general headquarters of the Army of the Republic of Java in the jungle of Sulawesi.

   Many important leaders of the Java Army in the Sulawesi region were captured on the spot.

  The Java Army in the entire Sulawesi region lost contact with the headquarters in an instant.

But before they realized what had happened, in the early morning of the next day, a unit flying the flag of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, but wearing U.S. military uniforms without any U.S. military markings, and equipped with American ordnance that was more powerful than the regular U.S. military, formally Landed in the Bambana area of ​​southwestern Sulawesi.

   Afterwards, it is to cross mountains and open mountains, cross rivers and bridges, and push all the way.

  The resistance forces on the island are simply powerless to stop.

  Although the natural environment is similar and both are good at hiding, the Java Army is different from the later South Vietnamese Army.

The reason why the South Vietnamese Army has been able to beat the U.S. military to tears for nearly two decades is the most important reason other than the South Vietnamese Army itself. In fact, it is because they have the support of two big countries behind them. Weapons, ammunition and various materials are constantly replenished.

Therefore, although the South Vietnamese army is far inferior to the U.S. military in terms of heavy weapons, it can pose a great threat to the U.S. military in terms of light weapons and some team firepower. Coupled with the special environment of South Vietnam, it was obtained at a great price. victory.

   But this situation is impossible in Java.

  Java's independence is supported by Mao Xiong, but it is an island country after all.

  The surrounding sea area is almost completely surrounded by the navies of Britain, the Netherlands, and the United States. Even if it is as strong as a bear, it is impossible to transport too many weapons and equipment except for spiritual support.

  So the army of the so-called Republic of Java can't even hold a gun in their hands. Most of their hands are old-fashioned weapons from World War I, and there are even a large number of flintlock guns.

  If it weren't for this, it would be impossible for the Dutch army to have an absolute advantage in the battle between the two armies with the amount of the Dutch army.

  Basically, the Javanese army fired a black gun, and when the Dutch machine gun fired, the Javanese rebels had no choice but to flee for their lives.

  And this "Dutch" army that landed suddenly is even more exaggerated.

   Directly use grenades and mortars, the firepower is much more exaggerated than the original Dutch.

   What is even more exaggerated is that in this army, there is also a terrifying monster. The sense of smell and hearing are even more terrifying than dogs, and they are extremely ferocious, and their reaction speed is exaggerated.

  Under this kind of multi-faceted crushing.

  After only one day of landing, the army's control area advanced hundreds of kilometers into the island.

   During the period, many rebels in the controlled area also tried to hide among the civilians.

   But they soon discovered that this is not a good choice.

  After the Dutch army occupied ordinary towns, at most it was a big search and killed a few people as a deterrent.

  The newly-appeared "Dutch Army" directly gathered them all, and then moved towards the port to drive them, and finally boarded a huge cargo ship that had been waiting at the seaside.

  By the time these Javanese came back to their senses, they had been sent to East Nusa Tenggara, more than 400 kilometers away from the southwestern waters of Sulawesi.

   As for resistance? Facing the black muzzle of the gun, the Javanese chose to remain silent.

  During the whole process, because Dutch and German are very similar, even if there are Javanese who understand Dutch, they have not discovered the main composition of this army at all. They are not Dutch at all, but Germans.

It was not until the third day that this weird Dutch army occupied the entire southeast Sulawesi, and then the governor Josie officially announced his right to rule Sulawesi, before the outside world knew what happened in Sulawesi What.

   At the same time, he was surprised by Josie's speed of action.

  Josie was canonized by the Netherlands, which is a public matter in Europe.

   European and American countries didn't respond to this, and anyone with a discerning eye can see the tricks here.

   On the other hand, Mao Xiong, after getting the news, immediately passed the information to the Javanese rebels.

   Almost a few days ago, the Java Army had received the news.

   But the problem is that the Java Army received news that the Margot that Josie was on just set off from Austria a week ago.

  According to the normal speed, it will take at least a month for Josie to arrive in Java,

  The army he hired should have just been assembled at this time.

   After all, an army of 100,000 people.

  Man plus equipment, God knows how many transport ships will be used and how long it will take to transport them to Java.

  According to the estimates of the Javanese, Maoxiong, and even European and American countries, it will take at least the second half of the year for this war to really start.

   But now?

   It's only been over a week, Josie and his army have landed in Sulawesi.

   How the **** can you fly?

Um!

   It did fly over.

  However, only Austria and Blackwater International know the specific situation in detail.

   Then there is Australia as a transit point and the United States as the coordinator, and I can guess a little bit.

The rest are like Spain as a middleman, and Portugal who leased the island, and even the Dutch don’t know about it—the Dutch also have garrisons in several major cities in Sulawesi, but when Josie also arrives with the Dutch army , they knew what happened.

   But even in the United States and Australia, all they know is that the people were indeed transported by plane, but they don't know how the equipment passed.

  In this way, people from the outside world felt that Josie's actions against Java did not seem to be a temporary idea at all, but a long-planned plan.

   It's just the war between the Dutch and Java, which started last year. How could Josie plan it for a long time?

  ...Wait, Josie is an American, and Blackwater International is an American company.

The equipment used by this army is all active-duty American weapons—although after the war, because of Josie, the U.S. military’s armaments were upgraded very quickly, but because of production, funds, transportation and other reasons, it does not mean that the replacement speed can be so fast , so many US troops stationed overseas are still using equipment from the end of World War II.

  As a result, European countries including Mao Xiong, as well as the Netherlands, Josie's new suzerain in name, all put the object of suspicion on the United States.

  Because in the eyes of all countries in the world, only the United States, with its huge transportation capacity, can transport such a large arms force to Java in a short period of time.

  Especially the high-level Dutch people, so their favorability for the United States has dropped sharply.

  Good guy, I'll give you the territory you want in Java. It's just a few islands. It's not that I don't want to give it to you. Do you need to beat around the bush and fix so many things?

  Even the Pacific Fleet is so close at hand. I asked you for help before and you didn't help me. How about playing me?

   Co-authored because you don’t want to bear the infamy of colonialism?

  However, the Dutch are only dissatisfied in their hearts. In actual actions, they are actively cooperating with the Blackwater International mercenary group in Sulawesi.

   Only the Republic of Java, as the party involved, brought this matter to the UN General Assembly.

   It's just because Java has declared independence, but it has not been recognized internationally, so it is not a member of the UN General Assembly, and it is not eligible to participate in the UN General Assembly.

  But after independence, Ah San, who aspired to become the number one brother in South Asia, and Mao Xiong, who wanted to bring Java after independence into his camp, were very active in this matter.

   Moved this matter to the UN General Assembly to attack the United States.

  The United States finally realized at this time that they might have to take the blame for Josie's personal behavior this time.

  However, the United States has not been able to explain this matter.

  Because you have to convince other countries to explain it.

   Especially before the war, Josie did privately sign a 30-year port lease contract with the US military on Sulawesi.

  So unless the United States completely abandons all interests in this area and puts aside its relationship with Josie, no one will believe his explanation at all.

  With Josie's influence in the United States, coupled with the actual benefit bonus received by the United States, it is actually impossible to happen at all.

  So the United States, which had just become the leader of the Western world, also had a stubborn temper and didn't explain it directly.

  You think it is.

  Seeing that the United States, as the boss, has expressed its position, and the UN General Assembly, including the United Kingdom, has won many European countries, it has also remained silent on this matter.

   It was the French representative who wanted to beep a few times, but after seeing the murderous eyes of the Dutch representative, he stopped immediately.

  Although the Netherlands and France have historically been regarded as grievances, even the Netherlands was once annexed by France.

   But that is already a thing of the past.

  After entering the 20th century, most of the time, the two countries have been half-allies.

  For example, when France built the Maginot Line of Defense, the Netherlands made great efforts in its own national defense interests, and this was also the reason why Germany later attacked the "neutral" country of the Netherlands.

  After World War II, the two countries also cooperated very closely in terms of economy.

   On the issue of colonies in Asia, the positions of Britain, France and the Netherlands are more consistent.

   Especially now that the French army is also mired in South Vietnam. If it disagrees with the Netherlands on this matter, what is the difference from hitting yourself in the face?

  The Western countries headed by the United States expressed silence on this matter, but the camp headed by Mao Xiong and Ah San are not sure to let it go.

  So the United Nations General Assembly, as a "neutral" worldwide institution, still questioned Josie and Blackwater International.

   In this regard, Josie is not a bird at all, so he won't go.

  Just asked Aldo to go there as a representative of Blackwater International and sent a document to Mao Xiong's representative.

  So at the next day's hearing, Mao Xiong's representative changed his tone and defined Josie's act of leading troops into Java as a local armed conflict, and the UN General Assembly was not suitable for intervention.

   Although the bear-camp countries were surprised by their boss’s sudden change of attitude, they didn’t care what the boss said. Anyway, Java, where the birds don’t shit, has little to do with them.

   Bear shut up.

  The entire United Nations General Assembly is still beeping, but Ah San and several South Asian countries are still dancing.

   It's just this era, no one cares about them at all.

  Aldo, who participated in the hearing, silently recorded the names of these countries in a small notebook, and prepared to give it to Josie when he went back.

   Said it was a few, but it was actually three.

   Asan, Philippines, Myanmar.

   Very well, Josie, who was basking in the sun in Sulawesi a few days later, smiled happily watching the several countries recorded by Aldo.

   "Boss, Sir Bell is here!" Vito came from a distance and reported to Josie Hui.

   "What is he doing here?" Josie put down the document in his hand and asked a little strangely.

  Sir Bell, whose full name is Louis Bell, was the governor of the Dutch East Indies at that time.

   is also the highest military and political officer of the Netherlands in Java.

   In terms of administrative level, the other party is nominally a little higher than Josie, the governor of Sulawesi.

   But the name is only in name after all, Josie holds an army of hundreds of thousands, and the Dutch dare not tell him what to do.

   "If there are no accidents, it should be our forced relocation of Sulawesi aborigines!" Vito replied with a shrug.

   "That's right, it's time for them to come to the door, let him in!" Josie nodded and said.

  Josi desperately transported the aborigines of Sulawesi to East Nusa Tenggara, which was a blind spot under the Dutch rule and was of little value, so the Dutch might not be able to react at first.

  But as time goes by, although the people sent there cannot return to Sulawesi under the interception of the Blackwater Army, they will definitely gradually spread to other areas.

  So Josie had already expected that the Dutch would come to him.

"Earl Kahn, regarding your forced relocation of Sulawesi aborigines, I think we need to have a good talk!" Sure enough, after Governor Bell entered the door, the two sides exchanged pleasantries, and the topic was brought up straight to the point .

"Sir Bell, I don't think there is anything to discuss about this point. Sulawesi is my private territory, which is recognized by the government. I don't like people on my territory who I don't like, and they are originally kings. The people under the rule of the country, so there should be nothing wrong with me returning them to the government?" Facing the other party's question, Josie replied very calmly.

"But Sir Kahn, this will have an extremely adverse effect on the rule of the kingdom, and there may be a large number of rebels hidden among the people you migrated. You are causing trouble for the kingdom!" Sir Bell obviously did not think of Josie To be so arrogant and stubborn on this issue, he immediately frowned and said.

"No, Sir Bell, on the contrary, I think my measures are the most perfect!" Josie said quietly, "The Java area is so big, it is actually very unfavorable for the rule of the kingdom. The military power is too easy to disperse, but In fact? There are so many islands in Java, not all of them are rich in value. In this case, why don’t we drive those annoying rebels to those areas with low value? We just use the navy to block important The waterway, those backward natives, can they still swim across the sea? And don’t they seek independence? Then give them independence!”

  Josie's words stunned Sir Bell.

   What the **** can you do?

"If you are interested, you can look back at the history of the westward expansion of the United States, the history of Indian migration, and the reservation system... Well, well, these materials may not be easy to find, after all, it is a bit inconvenient, but as a colleague, I can provide you with some relevant information, I believe you will be inspired!" At the beginning, Josie wanted to suggest to Sir Bell and the Dutch high-level officials how the Americans dealt with the Indians.

  However, these days, the relevant information of the United States' policy on Indians is top secret.

   After all, it is a scandal, especially since the Dutch basically withdrew from North America at the end of the 17th century. I really don’t know much about some deeds of the Americans, and I don’t care much about them.

  The reason why later generations will have relatively clear relevant information is that after the rise of the civil rights movement, people in civil society slowly collected it.

  So Josie simply sent a copy of the relevant information to the other party, so that the Dutch could study hard.

   As for whether the Dutch will do this, that is their own business. Anyway, his Sulawesi will never leave any natives.

   The last two chapters are a link between the past and the next. The next chapter will end with the content related to Indonesia, and new content will start. In addition, the ruins are a foreshadowing, which belongs to my starting point for the next stage. Please be patient.

   Push this book by the way
