Chapter 94, The Back Pot Man Appeared

Genius remember the address of this site in one second: (apex Chinese), the fastest update! No ads!? Kingdom of the Netherlands

In the Royal Palace of Amsterdam, Wilhelmina is discussing with ministers. Although the Netherlands is a constitutional monarchy, her queen, as the nominal supreme leader, has to pay attention to the outbreak of a large-scale rebellion in the colony.

Queen Wilhelmina, did not take this rebellion seriously. Colonial uprisings have long been common to her. Didn't it happen a few times that year?

This time it is just a little bigger, but it is also expected that the population in Indonesia has grown too fast in recent decades, resulting in insufficient local resources. It is normal for a rebellion to break out!

What exploitation and oppression? It's been this way for so many years, hasn't it?

As a king, even a rubber stamp king, you can be incapable, but you must not be brainless, so these main factors are directly filtered out by her!

Prime Minister, is the government ready to suppress this colonial rebellion? Queen Wilhelmina asked

Without asking the reason, nor proposing to be held accountable, it directly entered the core issue - sending troops to suppress the rebellion!

Your Majesty, the situation has changed. Just yesterday, rebellion broke out in Jakarta and Banten. We have lost contact with these two cities this morning! The Prime Minister said gloomily.

(Note: The uprising broke out in Banten and Jakarta on November 12, 1926. The Sumatra uprising that was originally agreed to break out at the same time was delayed until January 1927 due to the arrest of high-level officials.)

What it means to lose contact is self-evident! In this radio age, no matter how dangerous the situation is, it will not allow the defenders to send a telegram too late!

What's the matter? Didn't we deploy two regiments of heavy soldiers in Jakarta? Could it be that our army is a lounge bag? Wilhelmina asked angrily

This is our mistake. In order to suppress the spreading uprising in Sumatra, we have drawn troops from both places and let the enemy take advantage of the loopholes! the Prime Minister explained.

Now is not the time to be held accountable. Prime Minister, your task now is to quickly find a way to suppress the rebellion! Wilhelmina said with a turn of her mind.

Obviously, she is not a fool, and she knows the importance of Indonesia to the Kingdom of the Netherlands. Once there is no such rich colony, the good days of the Kingdom of the Netherlands will come to an end.

As for accountability? What's the matter with her? Even if it is a change of Prime Minister, is it still the same result? As long as you don't fight for the last rights reserved by the royal family, everyone can cooperate well!

Hearing Wilhelmina's words, the Prime Minister breathed a sigh of relief, and then replied, Yes, Her Majesty!

Like most constitutional monarchies, the king has the right to remove the prime minister, especially when it comes to other things!

With Wilhelmina's attitude, he could finally suppress the rebellion with peace of mind. As long as the rebellion is put out as soon as possible, he is still the Prime Minister of the Kingdom of the Netherlands!

What is the attitude of the countries towards this rebellion? Wilhelmina asked with concern

As a small country, being able to hold such a large colony depends not on force, but shrewd diplomacy!

In modern times, the Netherlands and European countries have maintained good diplomatic relations. It is this good relationship that allows them to keep Indonesia in the era of imperialism!

The British and the French will support our counterinsurgency; Bulgaria and Austria-Hungary remain neutral; the Japanese have expressed concern, and the Japanese ambassador to the Netherlands has come to ask us if we need help! the prime minister replied

Damn monkeys, they dare to hit our colony's attention, isn't the last lesson not enough, they are going to make trouble again! Wilhelmina said through gritted teeth

No wonder she was angry. After entering the 20th century, the Japanese government began to infiltrate the Southeast Asian region, and its ambitions have long been known to passers-by.

How can we help them at this time? It's almost like taking advantage of the fire!

In the same way, Britain and France have colonies in the Southeast Asia region.

It is normal for them to express their support, and no colonial empire wants to break out the colonial independence movement.

Bulgaria and Austria-Hungary had no sphere of influence in the Southeast Asian region. If they were suddenly helped, they would probably not be able to sleep.

Be diligent for nothing - either a traitor or a thief!

Rest assured, Her Majesty, the League of Nations will not allow the Japanese to expand into Southeast Asia! said the Prime Minister.

Wilhelmina nodded. Fortunately, it was only the Japanese who peeped into Indonesia, who were ostracized by European society and could use diplomatic means to restrict their movements.

Prime Minister, are you saying that this rebellion was supported by the Japanese behind the scenes? Wilhelmina asked uncertainly.

No wonder she was suspicious. It was because of the motive of committing the crime that the Japanese government was too suspicious.

The possibility is very high. First disturb Indonesia and prepare for his capture of Indonesia. The Japanese government is very suspicious! The Prime Minister thought for a while and said.

That's what the Japanese can do. We have to appeal to the League of Nations and expose the Japanese's wolf ambitions! Wilhelmina said fiercely

Please rest assured, Her Majesty, the Japanese government's wolf ambitions will not be realized! The Prime Minister immediately echoed.

We are all smart people, no matter whether it is true or false, the blame must be placed on the Japanese government. Only in this way can we use the power of the League of Nations to force the Japanese government to give up its ambitions for Indonesia!

Wilhelmina quickly adjusted her mind and brought the topic back.

Well, let's do it like this! Prime Minister, let's talk about the troops. How many troops will be drawn from the mainland this time? asked Wilhelmina

Your Majesty, the scale of this rebellion is the largest in more than 100 years. Among them, the Japanese government is supporting the rebels. We believe that at least 200,000 troops must be invested in countering the rebels, so that this rebellion can be quickly quelled! Prime Minister thought about it

So much? Wilhelmina said with a frown.

Your Majesty, there is no way, if there are too few troops, it is easy to let this rebellion continue!

Now our rule in Indonesia is about to collapse, the situation is very critical, and the Japanese government is supporting the rebels. If we can't increase our troops quickly, I'm afraid we will lose Indonesia forever! ' explained the Prime Minister

Well, just follow your plan and put it up in Congress tomorrow, no matter what, the rebellion must be quelled in the shortest possible time, otherwise the consequences will be very serious!

Understand, Prime Minister, your time is running out! ' Wilhelmina warned

Please rest assured, Her Majesty, we will definitely eliminate the rebellion as soon as possible! The Prime Minister replied in a feigned panic.

It can only be said that everyone is an acting school, and they put the biggest responsibility on the Japanese government. The government was only deceived and failed to detect the conspiracy of the Japanese in time.

This is all acceptable, they are all in the capital Amsterdam, how can they know about the problems of the colony?

This is caused by the inaction of the colonial officials. This is a very serious dereliction of duty. We must bring the Indonesian Governor, Viber, to court and accept legal sanctions!

What? Jakarta has fallen, and the life and death of the Governor is unknown. Damn monkey, it's too cruel, so cruelly killing the unfortunate Governor Weber, even the dead don't have to bear the responsibility!

Of course, the great Queen Wilhelmina, since she has helped the Prime Minister through a political crisis, the reward is naturally indispensable.

It is not known what kind of deal the two sides have reached, anyway, everyone knows that the Queen and the Prime Minister have a good talk!

...

Far away in Sofia, Ferdinand didn't know what happened to Bulgaria. The Dutch government, who was trying to evade responsibility, put the blame on the Japanese government.

Your Majesty, yesterday the League of Nations meeting held a vote, and with a narrow margin of one vote over the benchmark vote, the Germans' application to join the League of Nations was approved. The French representative was so angry that he left on the spot! Metev said with a frown.

This is not good news. Under the strong opposition of the French and the neutrality of Bulgaria, the Germans can still join the League of Nations with the support of the British. This is undoubtedly an announcement that the British have mastered the League of Nations!

Although this degree of control is very low, as long as the Bulgarians and the French oppose it at the same time, the General Assembly will not pass the resolution, which is not what Ferdinand wants to see.

To know that joining the League of Nations requires at least two-thirds of the member states to vote in favor, the Germans managed to gather enough votes without making a sound. This is obviously not due to their own strength, otherwise they will not be in a world war. Besieged!

At the same time, the Germans joined the League of Nations, which also marked the decline of the French. Before that, the French government made it clear that it would not allow the Germans to join the League of Nations.

With such a dazzling slap in the face, Ferdinand is now very worried for the French politicians, wondering if they can accept this blow!

Well, let's put aside the matter of the Germans joining the League of Nations. Now that the British Empire is the world hegemon, there will definitely be many countries that are willing to sell their face. Let the French have a headache for this problem! Ferdinand said.

Yes, Your Majesty! Metev replied

After a pause, Metev said hesitantly: Your Majesty, the Kingdom of the Netherlands just lodged a complaint with the League of Nations. They accused the Japanese government of orchestrating the Indonesian riot and demanded that the League of Nations be fair!

Could it be that what we have done has been exposed, and now the Dutch have directly put the blame on the Japanese and want to ask us for compensation?

No! If the Dutch discovered our plan, now that the Dutch foreign minister has come to the door, they would not have dumped the blame on the Japanese so early!

We just need to push in the dark and let the Japanese government plan the Indonesian riots to be real! ' Ferdinand thought for a while and said

If you want to do this, it is very simple as long as the Indonesian uprising army hooks up with the Japanese. In this era, the transmission of information is not smooth, and there is no Internet. It is impossible for the Japanese government to deliver information to every intelligence officer in such a short period of time.

Judging from their penetration in the Indonesian region, it is estimated that the Japanese government has no idea how many secrets there are.

Even as long as there are Japanese expatriates who participated in this uprising, they will not be clean!

Your Majesty, we don't need to do it ourselves in order to convict the Japanese government. The Dutch government will find a way to get it done, and they will create evidence without evidence! Metev thought for a while and said.

Ferdinand nodded with satisfaction. Since the Dutch have already sued the Japanese government internationally, they must be doing the issue of collecting evidence.

The Dutch have been operating in Indonesia for hundreds of years, so they can't even handle this little thing!

Once this crime is confirmed, it will be even more difficult for the Japanese government in the future!

Uprisings are contagious. Now that the Indonesian uprising has broken out, is the uprising in the rest of Southeast Asia still far behind?

As soon as the wave of anti-colonial uprising broke out, the Japanese government as the igniter was naturally the target of everyone's hatred!

In Ferdinand's memory, it seems that a round of anti-colonial movements broke out after World War I, not only in Southeast Asia, but also in the Americas and Africa.

This era has not erupted yet, and it is estimated that it will be soon. The parallel space-time uprising has been suppressed, and this space-time will not be certain. The revolutionaries who have been trained must be so powerful in combat!

If countries take a step back, let the rebel army become a climate, and turn Victor Keith's theory into practice, it will not be easy to suppress the revolution.

For the specific situation, you can refer to the Ottoman Empire, which has been besieging and suppressing the rebel army for more than 20 years, but the fire of the revolution has not been extinguished.

Not to mention the colonies. The colonial government's local rule was limited to the cities. Once the insurgents fled into the jungle, they were powerless.

It seems like the case of jungle warfare, mountain guerrilla warfare, and the establishment of tribal bases, Victor Keith has mentioned.

As long as someone can learn and use it, unless the local people are killed, the revolutionary army will not be extinguished!

Can the Dutch do it? Obviously impossible, Indonesia's population is dozens of times theirs, how can they kill them all?

Can the UK and France do it? In some areas, they may be able to do it, but when there are widespread riots in the colonies, they are caught blind.

Especially the British Empire, they can't possibly send millions of troops to the colonies to maintain law and order!

Once the colonial forces are insufficient, it will create opportunities for the revolutionary party. It is simply impossible to guard against!

If Britain and France were smart, they would quickly help the Dutch to suppress the uprising. Indonesia must not be allowed to become independent. The power of example is unlimited. Once Indonesia becomes independent, the colonial system in the Southeast Asian region will collapse!

Ferdinand is already thinking about the world pattern after the collapse of the colonial system. Without the rise of the two superpowers, the United States and the Soviet Union, the future world must be a multi-polar pattern.

Bulgaria may be the most powerful of them all, but it cannot be as powerful as the British Empire now dominates the world. Times have changed and the final opportunity for expansion is coming to an end.

When nationalism rises, all densely populated areas are no longer suitable for colonies. The area that was originally sparsely populated and economically backward has become the best expansion direction!

Ferdinand knew that there was not much room for choice, but he was not disappointed. The wealth that Bulgaria had accumulated was already a lot, enough to be the foundation of dominance!
