Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 668 Doomsday

The Port of Medan in this era was actually a big fishing village. The largest port in the Dutch East Indies was in Batavia, which the Chinese called "Coconut City". Medan was just an ordinary port on Sumatra Island, if not for this time The "Ark" was seized, and many mercenaries had never even heard of the name.

Compared with the dilapidated docks, dilapidated facilities, and dilapidated buildings, the "Ark", which has just been built, is the most advanced immigration ship of this era. Docking in Medan Port is like staying in The golden phoenix in the chicken coop, no wonder the Medan port officials took such risks.

Like Southern Africa before there was no autonomy, the officials of the Dutch East Indies are all officials appointed by the Dutch government, so they don’t care about the long-term development of the regional economy and the impact their actions will have on the Dutch East Indies , As long as you can make money during the term of office, you will leave at the end of the term, regardless of the flood.

Because Tang En was going to be based in Port Elizabeth, the supreme commander of the umbrella company's mercenaries who led the team to Lion City was David who had just been appointed as the general manager of the Far East Division.

Now David is on the bridge of the "Nile Crocodile", holding a "Clairvoyance" military telescope produced by Nyasaland to observe the Port of Medan.

"Would you like a cup?" Captain Marcy Petty came to David with two cups of coffee, and put the coffee on the operating table in front of David.

"Thank you——" David put down the binoculars, really puzzled: "Why are the Dutch so stupid? Don't they know that our lord will take revenge? I heard that people are still dead now, but I don't know that the Dutch are going to die this time." How much is enough to appease the lord's anger."

"Hehe, the former sea coachman can only recall the glory of the past in his sleep. Do you know why the Dutch hate our British Empire so much? We stepped on the corpses of the Dutch to build the current empire on which the sun never sets. We now The empire that was established could have originally belonged to the Netherlands, so the behavior of the Dutch didn’t surprise me at all—” Marcy Petty knew the grievances and grievances between the UK and the Netherlands very well, on the contrary, she just became a British In just a few years, David didn’t understand the history of Britain: “—the Dutch have lost the pioneering spirit of their ancestors. They would rather lend money to our country’s enterprises than invest in their own domestic entities. These Dutch People are short-sighted, stupid, greedy, and have no desire to understand how far the world has come, let alone our southern Africa, which has not really had a voice in the world, and I promise, give the Dutch a map, and they will never Most Dutch people certainly don't know where we are in southern Africa, so it's normal that they don't know where we are in southern Africa."

"Heh heh heh—" David grinned grimly. The mercenaries of the Umbrella Company would definitely impress the Dutch.

"Sir, we have crossed the median line—" the first mate reminded in a low voice.

The narrow channel of the Strait of Malacca, if according to international practice, from the center line of the Strait of Malacca, one side belongs to the Dutch East Indies, and the other side belongs to the British Malaya, the Dutch and the British will be soft when they charge "tolls".

"It's okay, give the Dutch the guts, they don't dare to detain our Nile crocodile now—" Marcy Petty is not worried. The Dutch are now under tremendous pressure from the British government and the Southern African Federation. Provocation, then the British government will also increase the memory of the Dutch.

"I hope they will detain it, which will save us a lot of trouble." David was slightly regretful. Just now David clearly saw a gunboat flying the Dutch flag in the port of Medan, but it was a pity that the "Nile crocodile" Passing outside the port of Medan, the Dutch gunboats did not move.

The Dutch gunboats still use steam engines, and I don’t know if they were “classic boats” built in that era. It’s hard to say whether they can start.

This really surprised David. The Dutch gunboats were still the kind of wooden sailing warships that had been eliminated for many years. Such warships can only be seen in museums in the UK now.

And there's only one.

There is a fort built by the Dutch outside Medan Port, but it seems that the caliber of the artillery is not large and the model is relatively old. Not as good as the mortars used by mercenaries.

As for the disheveled and lazy soldiers on the fort, according to the standards of the umbrella company, these people are not even qualified to sign up as mercenaries, so David really can't figure it out. How to rule East India with an area of ​​more than 190 million square kilometers.

"The Dutch ruled the East Indies by you Chinese—" Marcy Petty's answer surprised David.

"Chinese?"

"Yes, it is you Chinese. In East India, you Chinese are richer, more educated, easier to communicate with, and easier to rule, so the Dutch rely on you Chinese to rule the natives of East India, and then continue to provoke The conflict between those natives and you Chinese, when the conflict between you Chinese and the natives breaks out, the Dutch will appear as an arbitrator. Over time, the Dutch, the Chinese, and the natives of East India have formed the current mutual dependence , and mutual hostility.” Marcy Petty has been running on the sea all year round, traveling to and from all over the world, and he probably knows the situation in East India better than the East Indians.

"Then why was the Ark detained?" David was at a loss. The Chinese would never seize the ship transporting the Chinese.

"Don't blame me for speaking badly, David, the Chinese in the East Indies - some Chinese, even some Chinese in Malaya, are standard scum even by East Indian standards. In East India and Malaya, The Chinese farmers are the most harsh on those indentured slave workers, because there are too many Chinese in the Qing Dynasty and have almost endless resources, so indentured slave workers are not worthy of pity—" Marcy Petty still spoke leisurely, as if not paying attention I saw how gloomy David's expression was.

David was once tricked into Johannesburg as an indentured slave laborer. If Roque hadn't rescued him, David might have died in a dark mine.

After that, David went to the Rock Gold Mine, then became a mine security guard, and then joined the umbrella.

So when Marcy Petty said that "indentured slaves deserve no mercy", David's face was so gloomy that it could drip, and his eyes were so red that they could burn.

"Are you okay?" Marcy Petty finally noticed David's bruised hand, and was taken aback by David's expression.

"Captain, you may not know that I used to be an indentured slave." David took a deep breath and slowly calmed down.

"Sorry, I don't know—I didn't mean that—I—" Marcy Petty didn't expect David to have such a past.

"It doesn't matter. The forest is big and there are all kinds of birds. There are hundreds of millions of Chinese. Even if there is one scum out of 1, there will be tens of thousands. Just clean it up slowly—" David said lightly, but Marcy Petty could hear The storm contained in David's words.

Ten hours later, the "Nile Crocodile" arrived at the transshipment site set up by the Nyasaland Immigration Bureau in Lion City.

There are many such transshipment sites in East Asia. The large ones can accommodate thousands of people, and the small ones can accommodate hundreds of people. Water and food are provided in the camps, as well as basic medical services. Immigrant ships traveling between Qing Dynasty and southern Africa can Take a short break at camp.

The camp near the Lion City is a relatively large one, which can accommodate more than 3000 people. The mercenaries will gather here and then sneak to Sumatra Island on the other side of the strait in batches.

When David came to the camp, Leo Ted, the East India Commissioner of the Adan Company, was waiting in the camp.

"Long wait—"

"Hard--"

After a brief greeting, Leo Ted handed over to David.

"This camp is for your use during this period, and all our staff will be evacuated. This is the list of supplies in the warehouse. Do you want to click it?" Leo Ted is business-like, and this camp is Nyasaland Immigration They bought it out and entrusted it to the Umbrella Company to operate it. Of course, it is now the property of Adan Company.

"No, we won't use the supplies in the warehouse, you'd better put a seal on it—" David didn't even look at the list, the mercenaries had their own chefs and doctors, and didn't need waiters. What David asked for was a cadre A clean campsite.

In fact, the conditions of the camp are not bad. The Nyasaland Immigration Bureau came forward. The camp covers a huge area. The Immigration Bureau even bought the two nearby mountains. The camp even has its own simple pier, and the sanitation is also good. It rains often, but there is not much mud in the camp, and all the roads are hardened, which is in line with Nyasaland's standards.

"You'd better use them all up. Food and medicine have a shelf life, unless you leave before the insurance expires." Leo Ted emphasized that mercenaries have always been extravagant, but extravagance and waste are not allowed.

"Well, we shouldn't stay here for too long." David didn't know when the Dutch would admit defeat, but after the mercenaries took Medan, David would leave for Medan.

"Well, I hope you all go well, for the sake of Nyasaland—" Leo Ted took the initiative to bid farewell to David. The mercenaries had a bit too much equipment, and Leo Ted would not make trouble for David.

"For Nyasaland!" David said with a correct attitude.

The first batch of mercenaries who followed David to the Lion City consisted of 800 people. They carried weapons and various supplies for a week. Next, merchant ships and transport ships will arrive at the camp and send more mercenaries and more equipment and supplies.

David sent out scouts to Medan the same night he arrived at camp, and the Dutch were doomed this time, no matter what.
