The Indonesian indigenous people are now in turmoil, and the big islands of Sumatra, Java, Kalimantan, Celebes and Sulawesi are all at war.
The beastly Indonesian monkeys were burning, killing and looting everywhere, and the entire Dutch East Indies was in a state of chaos.
Although the Dutch military and police were fighting fires everywhere, the Dutch East Indies was too big for the Dutch garrison, and the terrain here was an archipelago.
This kind of terrain divided into n islands by the sea is very inconvenient for army mobilization.
Even if compared to the same period in the original time and space, the Dutch garrison in Indonesia in this plane has increased more than ten times, it is still far from enough to suppress the indigenous people who are breaking out everywhere.
Often, as soon as one side is suppressed, another side emerges, causing the Dutch army to be exhausted everywhere.
"These damn native monkeys are all crazy."
Governor Stylem is almost dying of anxiety.
In just a few days, half of his hair has turned white.
There was no way, the losses caused by this indigenous riot to the Netherlands were too great, both in terms of personnel and property, which made them feel heartache.
There are no detailed statistics yet.
It is just a preliminary estimate that the loss of personnel exceeds 20,000.
This is more than 20,000 people.
The total population of the Netherlands is now only 6.6 million.
The property damage was even more nerve-wracking, at least several hundred million guilders, not counting indirect losses.
Stylem knew very well that even if the riot was suppressed, his governorship would be over.
He shouted angrily: "Rijkaard is so incompetent.
He just dealt with a bunch of indigenous monkeys, and he hasn't achieved decisive results yet.
Humph, he has 50,000 troops under his command, and 50,000 are equipped with aircraft and The artillery force is already 80% of the Royal Army, and there are 30,000 police and militiamen to help him.
This can't be solved.
I must report to the Queen and ask the country to find another general who can fight."
At this time, Stylem didn't care about offending anyone.
Anyway, his future was bleak and he had to find someone to take the blame.
He cannot bear such a huge responsibility alone.
Therefore, Lieutenant General Rijkaard, the commander of the Dutch Far East Army who was directing the suppression operations on the front line, was shot while lying down.
He was not around now anyway.
Seeing that the Governor was furious, the senior officials of the colony turned into clay Buddhas and pretended to be deaf and dumb.
Major General Van der Sar, the police chief of the Far East of the Netherlands, felt the need to defend his friend, so he stood up and said: "Your Excellency, General Rijkaard has tried his best.
The terrain in East India is too complicated, and the indigenous monkeys are not harmonious at all.
We have a head-to-head confrontation, and as soon as they hide in the jungle, we have to use several times or even ten times the manpower to search."
Stillam shouted: "Why don't you use poison gas?
I remember that we in the Netherlands used poison gas just like the British did to the Indians, Arabs and Zulus."
At this time, his secretary quickly reminded: "Well, your Excellency the Governor, our poison gas bombs are all in the country and are not deployed here in East India."
"Oh, damn why hasn't it arrived yet?"
The secretary said: "Now the Allied Powers and the Central Powers are blocking each other's sea lines of communication.
It is difficult for sensitive items like poison gas bombs to pass the blockade.
Our last ship of poison gas bombs was seized by the British.
We are still negotiating with the British at home."
"The British are so hateful.
They use so much but don't allow us to use it," Stilham said angrily.
The secretary said with an ugly face: "The British said they were worried that our poor management would cause the leakage of poison gas bombs.
After all, their colonies are also unstable.
In the first half of last year, their troops in India were attacked by poison gas by the rebels.
Or the British’s own gas bombs” The British indeed claimed so, and they were worried that these things would fall into the hands of colonial rebels.
According to their logic, even the great and invincible British Army could screw up, let alone the Dutch Army.

The governor was speechless, and there was nothing he could do about the British's overbearing logic.
Now that the Netherlands is completely dependent on opium, how can they dare to challenge their boss?
At this time, Van der Sar came out to smooth things over: "Your Excellency, Governor, there are conditions for the use of poison gas bombs.
Even if the gas bombs are delivered, it will be difficult to use them in the rainy and changeable wind environment of East India. " Stylem didn't want to talk about this anymore, so he changed the subject and said: "I want to know where the weapons of the indigenous monkeys come from.
They actually have machine guns and explosives.
I remember that we only gave them rifles.
Mr.
Director, have you found out the origin?"
Van der Sar replied: "Well, not yet.
In addition to the 1895 rifle, there are also Russian Mosin Nagant rifles, American Springfield rifles, Chinese Type 1906 rifles, German Commission Type 1888 rifles and Mauser 1871 rifles. , Lebel of France 1886 rifles, British Lee-Enfield rifles and Martini-Henry rifles are all available in various countries, as are pistols.
As for machine guns, there are not many natives.
We have captured very few, but the models are completely different, mainly.
German and British products” An official suddenly said: "Your Majesty the Governor, I remember that in the past few years, arms dealers from Britain, Germany and France went to East India to sell arms.
At that time, in order to check and balance the Chinese, we did not impose restrictions on their business.
Could it be that at that time "inflow" "Okay, I know this.
But, if those monkeys have enough money to buy it, of course they will buy some, but not too many."
Stillham frowned and said dissatisfied: "Do the Chinese just buy some?"
If they don’t know how to do it, I think they are the most likely.”
"Of course it is possible, and their suspicions are high, but we have no evidence to prove them," Van der Sar said helplessly, spreading his hands.
He added in his heart, how can you prove this kind of thing?
Even if you have evidence, what can you do if people don't admit it?
If you are reasonable, how can you still be called a gangster?
The most important thing is that the Dutch are not clean when it comes to providing weapons to the indigenous people.
So if it was really revealed, they might be trapped as well.
So this is just a matter of words.
As for why the Dutch provided weapons to the Indonesian natives, the reason is simple: they just wanted to use the sword to kill people.
Since the signing of the "traitorous treaty" of the Jakarta Treaty between China and the Netherlands, the Chinese influence in Indonesia has expanded, and later it has become a "state within a state", with a huge tail.
Because of the right of autonomy, the Dutch colonial authorities had no power to govern the affairs of the Chinese-inhabited areas.
Even if the Chinese committed crimes, they would have to be tried by judges from both countries.
In other words, they could not control anything except collecting taxes according to regulations.
Moreover, they cannot collect as much tax as they want.
The tax rate charged to the Chinese must not be higher than that of any third country.
Even the size of the local Chinese armed self-defense force exceeds that of Indonesia's local garrison.
Because there are millions of local Chinese, even according to the "no more than 5 adult men" stipulation in the treaty, there can be two people.
Thousands of armies, and this clause does not restrict women.
The Dutch military presence in East India has always been very small.
Before the signing of the Treaty of Jakarta, the Dutch military presence in Indonesia was less than 5,000.
After the Netherlands suffered a big loss, they successively sent a lot of additional troops.
However, the population of the Netherlands was not large, so the increase in troops was very slow.
It was not until the outbreak of the European War that the number of local troops stationed exceeded the Chinese Armed Self-Defense Force.
Faced with this situation, the Dutch, who have always regarded Indonesia as their own backyard, really feel embarrassed.
However, China is too strong.
Not to mention that the Netherlands is far away from the ocean, and it cannot beat China even if it is next to it.
So they didn't dare to do anything that would clearly involve falling out, so they had no choice but to make some small moves.
The Chinese are so powerful, but they dare not openly rebel.

In addition, the country is short of manpower, so the local Indonesian indigenous people naturally become the best choice for the Dutch.
Instigate the native monkeys to attack the Chinese, or instigate fights between the two sides.
It would be best if the Chinese feel insecure, unable to stay in the area, and have to leave in despair.
That would be the best.
For the Dutch, this kind of thing is very skilled.
They have done it countless times in history.
Moreover, those greedy, stupid and lazy native monkeys are also happy to be used as guns.
Anyway, burning, killing and looting the Chinese can also bring benefits to them.
The two sides hit it off immediately.
Of course, the Dutch would not be so stupid as to sell arms directly to the natives, so the local Dutch garrison had several "arms depot thefts" accidents.
Of course, they could not forget to spread some words such as "The Chinese are coming to steal your territory" and "The Chinese Rumors like "People over there are stupid and have a lot of money".
But now it seems like the Dutch shot themselves in the foot and lost their rhythm.
I originally wanted to use an Indonesian monkey as a gunman, but the gun failed to hit the Chinese, but it hit myself hard in the anus.
This really makes the Dutch senior officials present here burst into tears.
This is really unlucky.
However, this "killing with a borrowed knife" plan was formulated by the domestic high-level officials.
No matter how unhappy they were, they did not dare to publicly curse, but in their hearts they had already paid their respects to the ancestors of those guys.
Van der Sar continued: "Although the rebellion of the indigenous monkeys is troublesome now, it is just a trouble for us.
As long as there is time, no matter what means are used, the Royal Army will destroy them.
However, the threat of the Chinese That’s the most important thing” What the police chief is most worried about is not just the indigenous riots.
Even if the Indonesian monkeys are making trouble, it is not impossible to suppress it as long as the Dutch government is ruthless.
At worst, the army will march in and kill all the tribes one by one.
Anyway, there are not many strange creatures like the "White Left Virgin" at this time, and there are not many human rights activists jumping up and down.
At this time, the international gangsters were not as shameless as later generations, and there was no pressure at all to implement the three-guang policy on the indigenous people.
But the threat from China is the real threat.
China has never concealed its interest requirements for Indonesia.
Just in June, the Chinese in Borneo started to make a fuss.
These guys claimed to be the survivors of the "Lan Fong Republic" and demanded that the Dutch withdraw from their land and allow them to restore their country.
They even demanded compensation and so on.
Well, the "Lan Fong Republic" is still an existence recognized by the Dutch themselves, but there are also a lot of inexplicable "countries" such as the Kingdom of Daiyan, the Kingdom of Sriwijaya, the Borneo Empire, the Sunta Kingdom, etc.
What is the point of demanding restoration of the country and compensation?
The Dutch people are so angry.
This is really nonsense.
Several shabby fishing villages have the nerve to call themselves "Kingdom" and "Empire".
Is there any integrity in this world?
They are talking about hundreds of millions of pounds.
Compensation, isn't it possible that several ruined villages are made of gold?
What about honesty?
Doesn't it mean that Chinese people are very humble and easy to bully?
If it were in the past, the Dutch would have used guns and cannons to negotiate with them, but now they dare not.
As soon as the Chinese over there made a fuss, the Chinese Consul General in Jakarta, Mr.
Liang Youyuan, immediately came to express his "concern".
He also claimed that he "hoped that the Dutch government would carefully consider the reasonable demands of the local Chinese" and "Lanfang Republic" The Netherlands has an unshirkable responsibility for the demise of the Chinese nation, and the Dutch government should shoulder its own responsibility," and so on.
Fortunately, the Chinese government has not officially put forward excessive demands such as "Lanfang must be restored to the country".
It has only expressed "concern" and "hopes that the Dutch colonial government and the local Chinese will have a good discussion and resolve the problem through negotiation."

The two sides are still fighting for this.
What a waste of time.
And the shameless Consul General Liang Youyuan was also jumping up and down.
He actually claimed that "it is a fine tradition of the Chinese people to rise and destroy a country and continue its unparalleled history."
Before this matter was settled, the Indonesian indigenous people started to make a fuss, and China became even more "expressed of concern."
Consul General Liang has repeatedly requested Governor Stylem to send troops to protect the overseas Chinese, but Stylem has made various excuses to delay the request.
"Do we need to mention the threat from China?
Those greedy guys have been coveting our East India for more than a day or two."
Stylem rolled his eyes at him and said angrily: "Just yesterday, that cunning Liang , and they asked me to send troops to protect overseas Chinese, and I finally managed to deal with it."
The Governor sighed and said with a sad face: "Time, what we lack most now is time.
If the situation does not improve, the Chinese will have another excuse to intervene.
Now the British can't help.
I don't know.
How long can we delay that damn Liang?
His attitude is getting tougher and tougher.
The Chinese's patience seems to be running out.
What will we do if the Chinese really invade East India?"
Everyone present suddenly fell into an eerie silence.
As the Governor said, the major powers in the world are now at war with each other in Europe.
If China turns its back at this time, no one can help the Netherlands.
Now the Dutch have fully realized what "a weak country has no diplomacy" means.
At this time, the door opened, and a secretary ran in hurriedly with a telegram: "Your Excellency, Governor, Surabaya has been invaded by an indigenous mob":
