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 the quality of soldiers and weapons and equipment, the number is too small.

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

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

Its own firepower advantage cannot be exerted, so it can only be trapped in the city, guarding various strategic traffic points.

And can not go further into the jungle to destroy the Java army.

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

Several 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 they didn't wait for them to realize what happened. In the early morning of the next day, a troop carrying the flag of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, but wearing a US military uniform without any US military markings, and equipped with American ordnance with more firepower than the regular US military, officially Landed in the Bombana region of southwestern Sulawesi.

Then it is to cross the mountain, cross the river and build a bridge, and push it all the way.

The resistance on the island was simply powerless to stop it.

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

The most important reason why the South Vietnamese Army has been able to fight the US military for nearly two decades, besides the South Vietnamese Army itself, is actually that they have the support of two major powers behind them, and there are a large number of them. Weapons, ammunition and various substances are constantly replenished.

Therefore, although the South Vietnamese Army is far inferior to the U.S. military in terms of heavy weapons, in terms of light weapons and some team firepower, it can bring great threats to the U.S. military. Combined 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, although also supported by Mao Xiong, is an island country after all.

The surrounding waters were almost completely surrounded by the navies of Britain, the Netherlands, and the United States. Even if they were as strong as a bear, in addition to being able to support them spiritually, they couldn't transport too many weapons and equipment.

Therefore, the so-called Java Republic's army can't even handle a single gun. 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.

Basically, the Java army fired a black gun, and when the machine gun on the Dutch side rang, the Java resistance army had only to escape.

And this sudden landing of the Dutch army is even more exaggerated.

The grenade launcher, the mortar, and the firepower are 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 is more terrible than that of dogs, and it is extremely ferocious. The reaction speed is also exaggerated, and it is difficult for even bullets to hit them.

Under such a multifaceted crush.

In just one day of landing, the army's control area has advanced hundreds of kilometers into the island.

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

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

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

The newly emerging Dutch Army directly gathered them all, then moved towards the port and drove them away, and finally boarded a huge freighter that had long been waiting by the sea.

By the time these Javanese recovered, they had been sent to East Nusa Tenggara, more than 400 kilometers away in the southwestern Sulawesi waters.

As for resistance? Facing the dark muzzle, the Javanese chose silence.

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

It wasn't until the third day that this eccentric Dutch army occupied the entire southeastern Sulawesi, and then Josie, the governor, officially declared his dominion over Sulawesi, and the outside world didn't know what happened in Sulawesi. what.

Also surprised by Josie's speed of action.

Josie was canonized by the Netherlands, which is an open thing in Europe.

There is no response from European and American countries, and anyone with a discerning eye can see the tricks here.

On the other side of Mao Xiong, after getting the news, he immediately passed the information to the Java resistance army.

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 had 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,

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

After all, an army of 100,000 people.

With people and equipment, God knows how many transport ships it will take and how long it will take to get it 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 what about now?

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

How can you fly?

Um!

It really flew over.

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

Then there is Australia as a transit station and the United States as the coordinator, which can be guessed a little bit.

The rest are like Spain as an intermediary, and Portugal who leased the island, and even the Dutch do not know about it - the Dutch also have garrisoned troops in several major cities in Sulawesi, but when Josie also hangs the Dutch army When they arrived, they knew what had happened.

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

In this way, people from the outside world can feel that Josie's actions towards Java are not like temporary intentions at all, but have been planned for a long time.

It's just that the war between the Dutch and Java only started last year. How could Josie have planned 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 equipment-although after the war, because of Josie, the US military's armament increased very quickly, but because of production, capital, transportation and other reasons, it does not mean that the replacement speed can also be so fast. Fast, so many American troops stationed overseas are still using equipment from the end of World War II.

As a result, European countries, including the woolly bear, and the Netherlands, the new suzerain of Josie in name, have placed the object of suspicion on the United States.

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

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

My dear, if you want Java land, I will send it to you directly. It’s just a few islands. It’s not that I don’t want to give it to you. Do you need so many things?

Even the Pacific Fleet is so close at hand, I asked you to help you before and you didn't help, play me?

Co-authoring because you don't want to carry the infamy of colonialism?

However, the Dutch were only dissatisfied. In actual action, they were actively cooperating with the Blackwater International mercenary group in Sulawesi.

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

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

But after independence, Asan, who was determined to become the first brother in South Asia, and Mao Xiong, who wanted to talk about the independence of Java and pulled him into his camp, were very active in this matter.

Moved this matter to the UN General Assembly meeting and used it to attack the United States.

It was only at this time that the United States finally realized that it might be responsible for Josie's personal behavior this time.

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

Because if you explain it, you have to make other countries believe it.

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

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

With Josie's influence in the United States and the actual benefit bonus the United States has received, it is actually impossible to happen.

Therefore, the United States, which has just become the leader of the Western world, also made a stubborn temper and did not explain it directly.

You think so.

Seeing the position of the eldest United States, the UN General Assembly, including the United Kingdom, has received many European countries, and has also remained silent on this matter.

On the contrary, the French representative wanted to beep, but after seeing the murderous gaze of the Dutch representative, he stopped immediately.

Although the Netherlands and France can be regarded as grudges in history, even the Netherlands was once annexed by France.

But that's all in the past.

After entering the 20th century, most of the time, the two countries belonged to the relationship of half allies.

For example, when France built the Maginot Line, the Netherlands made great efforts in its own 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 the economic field.

On the colonial issue in Asia, the British, French and Dutch positions are more consistent.

Especially now that the French army is also stuck in a quagmire in South Vietnam, if it is at odds with the Netherlands on this matter, what is the difference between punching yourself in the face?

Western countries led by the United States expressed their silence on this matter, but the camp led by Mao Xiong and Asan were not sure that they would just give up.

As a result, the UN General Assembly, as a neutral world institution, still questioned Qiao Xi and Blackwater International.

In this regard, Josie is not a bird at all, so he will not go.

Just let Aldo go as a representative of Blackwater International and send a document to the representative of Maoxiong.

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

Although the countries in the fur bear camp are very surprised at the sudden change of attitude of their boss, but what the boss said is what, anyway, the place where the bird doesn't poop has little to do with them.

Bear shut up.

The entire General Assembly continued beeping, and only Asan and a few South Asian countries continued to dance.

It's just that in this era, no one bird them.

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

Say a few, in fact, three.

A three, the Philippines, Myanmar.

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

Boss, here comes Sir Bell! Vito reported to Josie from a distance.

What is he doing here? Josie put down the document in her hand and asked strangely.

Sir Bell, whose full name is Louis Bell, was the Governor of the East Indies of the Netherlands.

He is also the highest military and political commander 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 in name, it is only in name. Josie holds an army of hundreds of thousands, and the Dutch dare not point fingers at him.

If there is no accident, it should be our forced relocation of the Sulawesi Aborigines! Vito replied with a shrug.

Yes, it's time for them to come to the door, let him in! Josie nodded when she heard the words.

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

But with the passage of time, although the people who were sent over could not return to Sulawesi under the interception of the Blackwater Legion, they would definitely spread to the rest of the region.

So Josie had already anticipated the possibility that the Dutch might come to the door.

Count Kahn, about your forced relocation of the Sulawesi aborigines, I think we need to have a good talk! Sure enough, when Governor Bell entered the door, the two sides exchanged greetings and brought this topic straight to the point. .

Sir Bell, I don't think there is anything to discuss about this. Sulawesi is my private domain, which is recognized by the government. I don't like my domain, and there are people I don't like, and they are the king. The people under the rule of the country, so I return them to the government, shouldn't there be any problem? Facing the other party's question, Qiao Xi answered very calmly.

But Sir Kahn, this will have an extremely unfavorable impact on the kingdom's rule, and there may be a large number of rebels hidden among the people you migrated. You are creating trouble for the kingdom! Sir Bell obviously did not expect Josie. Being 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 region 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 have rich value. In that case, why don't we drive those pesky rebels to those areas that are not of high value? We only need to use the navy to block the important It's impossible for the backward natives to swim across the sea? And aren't they seeking independence? Then give them independence!

Josh's words shocked Sir Bell directly.

What the hell can you do?

If your Excellency is interested, you can look back at the history of the westward advance of the United States, the migration history of the Indians, and the reservation system... Uh, well, these materials may not be easy to find, after all, it is a bit inconvenient, but as a colleague , I can provide some relevant information to your Excellency, I believe your Excellency will be enlightened! At first, Josie wanted to advise Sir Bell and the Dutch high school to learn how the Americans dealt with the Indians.

However, this year, the information related to the US policy towards Indians is all top secret.

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

The reason why there will be clearer relevant information in later generations is that after the rise of the civil rights movement, people in the 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 the Dutch's own business. Anyway, he will never leave any natives in Sulawesi.
