Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 678

In the eyes of most people, Adan Company is a bit sloppy and reckless in doing things, but it is precisely because of this sloppy and reckless that Adan Company can quickly open up the situation in East India.

The reason why Li Wan and Ling Zhi jumped out so impatiently was that apart from national hatred and family hatred, it must be more for their own interests. The two are not in conflict, and Adan Company is not trying to monopolize the East India. After driving away the Dutch, The interests must be redistributed. It is better to support Chinese agents in East India than to support those local kings.

So starting on May [-]th, what was originally a conflict between the umbrella company and the Dutch colonial government because of the seizure of the Ark finally evolved into an armed resistance by the indigenous people of Sumatra against the Dutch colonial government.

Similar armed resistance is not uncommon in East India. Since Britain and the Netherlands signed the "Sumatra Agreement" in the last century, after the Dutch colonization of East India was clarified, in the past century, various ethnic groups in East India have launched armed resistance to Dutch colonization many times. National uprisings and conflicts among various ethnic groups in the East India continued. The Dutch colonial government also took advantage of the conflicts among the various ethnic groups in the East India to maintain its colonial rule over the East India.

Although this has achieved certain effects, it has also led to a serious consequence, that is, the ethnic groups in East India are tough and confrontational. Once external forces such as the Adan Company intervene, the colonial order that the Netherlands barely maintains will be destroyed. Once collapsed.

Li Wan and Ling Zhi are still very powerful. With the cooperation of Umbrella Company and Adan Company, Li Wan and Ling Zhi formed two troops in a short period of time, starting from Medan and heading north and the other going south. Attack the rest of Sumatra.

"These two guys are old and slick. Their subordinates include Chinese and Javanese. Now the Chinese are receiving training in Medan, and the Javanese are going out to fight for war. Those Javanese are very violent. Killing people is like It’s like chopping carrots, but fortunately our people restrained us, otherwise the Chinese here would inevitably suffer.” David was very relaxed during this period, and the Dutch still hoped for British mediation and did not take any action against Medan. During this period of time, Medan Port has accumulated a large amount of supplies. The pilots will fly their planes every day to familiarize themselves with the terrain and formulate combat plans. The Batavia Naval Port is also under surveillance. As long as the Far East Fleet dares to leave the port, Medan can collect them in minutes. to the news.

"You deserve what you suffer. It's not like I haven't reminded them. If they don't listen, what can we do?" Andy was indifferent. Some people always think that they can sell for a good price, but they don't know that Adan Company doesn't care about this at all. One point, the [-] mercenaries in Port of Medan are all waiting to buy plantations. How can we meet the needs of these mercenaries without creating more "unowned wasteland"?

During this period of time, Andy has fully understood the situation in the East India. It should be said that the status of the Chinese in the East India is quite high, second only to the whites who settled in the East India, and the status of those local kings is similar.

The lowest status in East India is the Javanese, Sundanese, Madura, and Malay. These indigenous people belong to the poor class. Most of them have no property and rely on working in plantations for a living.

This group of people is the biggest factor of instability in East India. Whenever the Dutch feel that the Chinese are too powerful and may be out of control, the Dutch will instigate these natives to create some appalling murders.

In the past, in East India, the Chinese could be said to have suffered from both sides. The top was oppressed by the Dutch, and the bottom was hostile by the local aborigines. The living environment was indeed very harsh.

However, I am afraid that what the Dutch did not expect was that since these aborigines could be provoked by the Dutch, they could also be wooed by the Chinese.

Now this concern is gone. With the full support of Umbrella Company and Adan Company, the troops of Li Wan and Ling Zhi have developed rapidly. On May 15th, Li Wan and Ling Zhi respectively purchased 15 30 pounds of weapons and ammunition, NO.[-] Li Wan and Lexus sent [-] pounds.

15 is the repayment of the loan, and the other 15 is the deposit for the second batch of weapons. Andy doesn't ask where the money came from. The Lee Enfield rifle was sold for 35 pounds in southern Africa, and it was sold to Li Wan and Lexus. 30 pounds comes with [-] rounds of ammunition, and [-] pounds is only [-] rifles, which is just a small list for the Nyasaland military-industrial group.

During this period of time, the Nyasaland military-industrial group has really made a fortune. In North Africa, Germany and France have disputes over Morocco, and conflicts may break out again.

In Tripolitania, the conflict between the Italians and the Ottoman Empire intensified, and it was about to turn into a full-scale war between the two countries.

The orders from the East India are just the beginning. As Li Wan and Ling Zhi's troops grow stronger and stronger, the orders will increase. The Nyasaland Military Industry Group is really counting money.

"Do you need to control Li Wan and Ling Zhi a little bit?" David was also worried that the rapid development of Li Wan and Ling Zhi's troops would affect the interests of Adan Company.

"No, their troops are trained by the mercenaries we sent. All the officers and staff are ours. If their troops use swords and spears, then we really have to be careful. We don't need them now. They The more weapons you buy, the less you need to worry.” Andy is very grateful for the single colonial economy of East India, as long as East India is not capable of producing weapons, then Adan Company does not need to worry.

To put it bluntly, if Li Wan and Ling Zhi dare to rebel, then Adan Company only needs to stop the transaction with Li Wan and Ling Zhi, and then the weapons Li Wan and Ling Zhi buy now will become fire sticks, and then no matter what Li Wan and Ling Zhi No matter how large Ling Zhi's troops are, they all end up in a rush.

"Then do you want to train a few more? It's also good to spread out your strength." David followed suit. The Umbrella Company did this in the peninsula. Now more than a dozen forces of different sizes in the peninsula are fighting each other. Followed by the expansion of power, most of Neizhi has become the sphere of influence of Adan Company.

"That's fine. Train them more, and it will be convenient for us to do business." Andy treats the rebellion as a business, and the agents are similar to the channel agents. The more the better.

In the port of Medan outside the window, a cargo ship is unloading, and the logo of Nyasaran Trading Company is on the container.

There are many benefits brought by the single-colonial economy. East India is an important producer of coffee, rubber, palm oil, and cane sugar. In the past, the Dutch bought these crops from plantations and sold them to Europe, and then imported various industrial products from Europe. At one time, it made huge profits and became an important income for the Dutch government.

Now this part of the income is transferred to Nyasaland. Southern Africa itself has strong industrial capabilities, and various modern industrial products can be produced in southern Africa, but limited to the shortage of population in southern Africa, the scale of the domestic market is not large. Seriously restricting the industrial development of Southern Africa.

That's why Viscount Gladstone and Adelaide will support the actions of the Umbrella Company. This is also because of the market size of East India. Although the territory of East India is not as large as that of Southern Africa, East India has a large population of about 3000 million, which is larger than that of South Africa. The domestic market in Africa is much larger. In the past, because of the Dutch trade monopoly, the East India market was controlled by the Dutch. Although Britain can enjoy most-favored-nation treatment in East India because of the "Sumatra Agreement", it is still better to control it in its own hands.

Therefore, the Dutch hope that the British mediation is doomed to be futile. Now even if the British mediate with all their strength, Roque wants to agree to the request of the Dutch colonial government to order the Umbrella Company and Adan Company to withdraw from the port of Medan, and the businessmen in southern Africa will not agree.

"The army near Batavia is gathering. The Netherlands has issued a mobilization order to organize troops to counter the rebellion in East India. We may still have a little trouble in the next period of time." Andy has been paying attention to the situation in Batavia. Well, the Dutch will certainly not pin all their hopes on London. The king of England died suddenly during this period, and the new king has a lot of things to do when he is enthroned.

"Let them fight and smash the East India to pieces, so that we can clean up the mess." David doesn't care, it's just the beginning, and once the war breaks out, it won't stop easily. If the whole situation is not destroyed, the interests of emerging interest groups cannot be guaranteed.

"What's the difference between us and the Dutch now?" Andy shook his head and smiled wryly, still unclear about his position.

"It's no different. For the East India, we are invaders just like the Dutch, but under the rule of the Dutch, the Chinese in the East India are like leeks. When you grow a crop, you will cut it. Under our rule , the Chinese are the rulers, at least we are not only plundering, but also constructing.” David has rich experience in this area, and Port Elizabeth is a good example.

Under British rule, Port Elizabeth was worthless, so the Egyptian governor would easily sell Port Elizabeth to Roque.

Under Rock's rule, oil is of course the direct cause of Port Elizabeth's increasingly important status, and the painstaking efforts of Adan Company are also indispensable. At least now the abandoned land around Port Elizabeth is being restored, and the forests that have disappeared for many years There is also the possibility of recovery. Those trees are still seedlings, but one day they will grow into towering trees.

If Port Elizabeth is still under British rule, then even if oil is discovered in Port Elizabeth, the British government will only exploit oil and not build Port Elizabeth.

Perhaps in order to live more comfortably in Port Elizabeth, the UK will invest appropriately in changing the environment of Port Elizabeth, but it will certainly not treat Port Elizabeth as its own home like Rock.

This is the fundamental difference.
