Chapter 1332 Military Peninsula
Most imperialist countries are like this. They are good at using foreigners to suppress foreigners, that is, using foreigners to suppress foreigners. Of course, alternative countries such as the United States and East Africa that directly engage in "genocide" are not among them.
The total number of Qataris, men, women, old and young, is only over 10,000, and even fewer are all young and strong. Therefore, the Governor of Batavia can safely and boldly use the Qataris without worrying about backlash.
Even the Qataris can be said to be a rarer minority than the Dutch in the East Indian colonies, and the Arabs have always had good fighting capabilities. In other words, the more backward the economy, the cheaper the life in the poorer places.
And the best part is that the beliefs of the Qataris are consistent with that of most ethnic groups in the East Indies. The Dutch are happy to see this drama of pagans fighting and consuming each other.
"Governor Van Der Beek, you can arrange these Qatari immigrants as you wish, whether they are placed in Batavia or anywhere in the Dutch East Indies, as long as their basic living conditions can be guaranteed."
The person talking to Van Der Beek was Mersch, the director of the East African Diplomatic Office in Batavia.
Although the Dutch East Indies Colony was only a colony of the Dutch, because Batavia could be regarded as an important regional center, the Batavia Diplomatic Office was specially established to solve some unimportant diplomatic issues, such as those involving East Africa. Commercial disputes, or minor issues between East Africa and the Dutch East Indies.
This time, the Qatari immigration itself was not an important matter for East Africa, so it was handed over to the Batavia Diplomatic Office by the higher authorities.
Governor Van Der Beek said: "Of course, Your Excellency Mersch, I plan to arrange their residence directly in the suburbs of Batavia. I just hope that these Qatari immigrants will not feel dissatisfied about this."
Mersch said: "This is obviously an impossible situation. On the one hand, there are not many immigrants in Qatar. On the other hand, the environment in Batavia is much better than in Qatar. From this perspective, the Qataris are also grateful. Your country takes care of you.”
When Van Der Beek and Mersch were talking, the Qataris also looked at this land with excitement. As Mersch said, going from Qatar to Batavia is like going from **** to heaven for the Qataris.
Jassim, the leader of the Qataris, said to the tribesmen: "This is our new home. Facts have proved that leaving Qatar is a very correct decision. Compared with the bitter cold land of our hometown, this place is simply a paradise on earth." ”
"In the future, if we can integrate into Batavia, our life will only be better than in the past, and we will also be far away from the war in the Persian Gulf."
As the spokesperson of the Qataris, Jassim must ensure his authority among the Qataris. Therefore, as the leader in pushing the Qataris to leave their homeland, Jassim can only exaggerate the benefits of this migration, thereby uniting the majority of the people.
Ordinary Qataris are also whispering about this strange land.
"I can't believe there is a place like this in the world. It's full of life, not just sand that can't be seen at a glance."
"There is no shortage of water here. As long as there is water, everything will not be a problem. Whether you are growing crops or nomadic, the situation cannot be worse than staying in Qatar."
"The level of development here is very low. There are so many green plants, and I don't know how many livestock can be raised. However, I have not seen local people grazing on a large scale. This is really a waste of natural resources."
The tropical rainforest environment known as the "green desert" is indeed a paradise that was completely unimaginable to ordinary people who have lived in Qatar for generations.
After all, the living conditions of the Qataris were too difficult in the past. A small-scale tribal conflict may arise over a water source. Two herdsmen families may fight over a piece of grassland. In Qatar, greenery can grow on any piece of land. Planted grasslands are extremely precious resources.
When I came to Batavia, everything seemed to have depreciated. The land here seemed to be able to squeeze out water. The entire city was wrapped in green. The biggest obstacles to survival that once plagued Qatar, water sources and green land were all solved. .
…
The Qataris migrated to the "ideal land of their dreams", while East Africa could only enjoy the "bitter and cold land" of the Qatar Peninsula. The first is the 37th Brigade, which will be permanently stationed in the Qatar area. After clearing out the population of Qatar, in order to prevent forces such as the United Kingdom or Bahrain from returning to Qatar, the army must be the basic guarantee.
Next is the navy. The Third Fleet has initially planned to build a large military port in Doha.
Doha is very close to Beida, the original city of the Sani family. In the previous life, with the expansion of Doha's urban construction, the two places were directly merged together.
Although Al-Bayda has an existing port and was Qatar's only foreign commercial trade port before, Al-Bayda cannot meet the needs of the East African Navy. The main reason is that the depth of the port in Al-Bayda is only about three to four meters, making it impossible to pass large ships. .
Therefore, after the East African Third Fleet passed the inspection, it selected Doha, which is closest to Al Beda, as a major berthing port for the Third Fleet.
The only drawback here is that there is no drinking water resource, but water can be diverted from Beda by laying pipelines.
According to the Third Fleet's concept, when the construction of Doha Port is completed, East Africa's control over the Persian Gulf, especially the waters surrounding the Beibu Gulf territory, will be greatly enhanced.
Because the Qatar Peninsula is deep into the Persian Gulf, it has naturally become the Beibu Gulf Territory, which was the natural barrier of the United Arab Emirates in its previous life. In particular, it can play a role in separating the British Bahrain military base from the main territorial waters of the Tonkin Gulf Territory in East Africa.
The Third Fleet's arrangements for Qatar are not limited to this. They also want to build two military ports on the north and east coast of Qatar, so that the East African Navy can monitor the entire Persia from three directions with the Qatar Peninsula as the center. bay area.
However, due to the current economic situation and natural conditions in Qatar, it is quite difficult to achieve this goal. Qatar has actually been "empty of people". There are no ready-made workers in the local area to recruit, so projects can only be sent from East Africa. Personnel participated in the construction and transformation of Qatar.

Qatar has many ports, but a large part of them are due to sedimentation. If you want to build a port that can be utilized and developed, you must carry out dredging work.
Of course, even so, Qatar's harbor conditions are much better than those along the coast of the Beibu Gulf territory in East Africa.
According to the arrangements of the Third Fleet, if Doha Port is completed, it will become the Third Fleet's first military port that can dock large ships such as battleships.
Unlike Qatar in its previous life, East Africa currently does not need to consider Doha's economic development tasks, which also reduces the demand for water and supplies.
Bayda, near Doha Port, will become the headquarters of the 37th Brigade. After all, this is the former "capital" of Qatar. Although the infrastructure is poor, it is currently the only place where the 37th Brigade can check in. .
As for Qatar, which borders the Beibu Gulf Territory, Ernst does not intend to annex it to the Beibu Gulf Territory, except for these two areas, which were originally two countries in history, namely the United Arab Emirates and Qatar.
Ernst believes that the existence of Qatar's independent Beibu Gulf territory can share the risks of independence. In this way, even if the Beibu Gulf territory or Qatar is lost, East Africa can still ensure a stable oil production base in the Persian Gulf region.
Moreover, Ernst took a fancy to Qatar's military role and planned to turn it into East Africa's military core area in the Persian Gulf in the future, deploying land, sea and air forces to make it a military peninsula inserted into the Persian Gulf in East Africa.
On land, it can directly threaten the entire coast of the Arabian Peninsula. In the air, it can bring the entire Persian Gulf coastal countries into the strike range with Qatar as the center. At the same time, through the navy, it can monitor the threats that the entire Persian Gulf may pose to the interests of East African countries.
