Expedition to Europe

Some Westerners who think they are civilized and have high moral character always talk about "fairness and justice".

In fact, the Westerners are the least qualified to talk about "fairness and justice".

Before the Industrial Revolution, the Chinese had been leading the world for thousands of years. People from all over the world did not interfere with each other. Although there were wars from time to time, they remained stable on the whole.

The West has been leading the world for only a few hundred years. Not only have wars increased, but the scale has also become larger and larger until the world war.

It can be seen that Westerners are the destabilizing factor for the whole world.

Westerners have always selectively ignored this fact.

For a colonial official in Borneo in the early 20th century, he regarded this as the success of the West in promoting their so-called "civilization" worldwide, and was proud of it.

So in the following period of time, the colonial official kept chattering until the intermittent gunshots in the village completely subsided.

It has been nearly two hours since the first gunshot.

During these two hours, the colonial official was immersed in his own emotions, while his companions and the police officers hid aside and dared not even breathe, fearing that they would be implicated.

"Report, the search has been completed, all the dirty things have been recovered, and the criminal has been executed," the platoon leader in charge of the search came back to report.

"Executed? You are murdering!" The colonial official was still accusing.

"Hey, come here, take him back and let him sober up. I think your guy has a problem today." Zhang Tianshou ignored him and called another colonial official who had not spoken.

The colonial official came over in a hurry, and despite the strong opposition of the official, he and several police officers dragged the man away.

He and the police officers had wanted to leave for a long time!

"Clean up this place, bury all the bodies deeply, and do epidemic prevention." Zhang Tianshou continued to issue orders.

Although it was already November, there was no winter in Borneo. It was always so hot here all year round.

"Yes!" The platoon leader saluted and turned to lead people to work.

"What are you going to do?" Zhang Tianshou came to the Chinese man in his fifties with a kind attitude.

The Chinese man had a complicated expression. His family had just been murdered. Now that he had avenged his great hatred, he should have felt happy and relieved, but he felt abnormally lost.

Perhaps "feeling lost" is a normal reaction. Even if the great hatred was avenged, the sacrifice of his family was irreversible. The pain had already been caused and it would take a long time to heal.

"We will stay, we must stay, even if it is for our children and wife, we must stay, let them see that we are living well, let them die in peace..." After a long time, the Chinese man answered in a hoarse voice.

"Okay! I will leave you a few guns, and leave soldiers to train you. When you have the ability to protect yourself, we will withdraw. Even if we withdraw, we will never withdraw from Sishui. Sujing has our troops. If you have something, you can go to Sujing and report to the patrol team." Zhang Tianshou was pleasant.

The more the man listened, the redder his eyes became, and he finally couldn't help crying.

Zhang Tianshou didn't continue to talk. In the face of the tragic facts, no matter how much he said, it was pale and powerless.

However, Zhang Tianshou was sure of one thing, that these dozen Chinese would have a good life in the future.

After this incident, there were no more aboriginals in this village, which meant that all the houses and land that belonged to the aboriginals before belonged to these dozen Chinese. As long as they were not too lazy, the future prospects would be bright.

However, before the light, there were still some tests waiting for them.

What happened here would soon spread, and it was estimated that the local aboriginals would come to take revenge. At that time, it would depend on whether the dozen Chinese could survive.

Zhang Tianshou would leave some soldiers to guard these dozen Chinese for a while, and at the same time, he would leave some weapons for these Chinese to enable them to protect themselves, but the soldiers would always withdraw, and then these Chinese would still have to face all the unknowns alone.

However, before withdrawing, Zhang Tianshou would make some preparations to prevent the Chinese from suffering greater losses, such as notifying the Chinese in the entire Surabaya area to raise their vigilance, and at the same time, he would notify the security forces stationed in other areas to ask them to take similar precautions.

One thing that is certain is that prevention alone is not very useful. If you want to completely solve the dilemma in Borneo, you have to solve it from a higher level.

So the problem is back to Qin Zhiyuan.

To be honest, Qin Zhiyuan is not ready to confront the Dutch head-on.

It's not that Qin Zhiyuan is afraid of the Dutch, but it's a matter of focus.

In Qin Zhiyuan's plan, the current focus is on Europe. The problem in Borneo will be solved after the end of the world war and the main force of the Chinese troops return to the Far East.

But Qin Zhiyuan overlooked a problem. The Chinese in Borneo have been humiliated for too long. Once they have a backer, no one knows what kind of power the Chinese will burst out.

The violent incident in Surabaya is both an accident and a necessity.

But since there is an accident, Qin Zhiyuan always has to do something to better deal with what will happen next.

The first thing that needs to be replenished urgently is guns. No matter which direction the situation develops, it is always right to stockpile more guns.

Penglai Island can produce ammunition, but it cannot produce guns, especially machine guns.

So Qin Zhiyuan found old Renault and ordered two ships of munitions, enough to replenish the guns of 20,000 troops to be sent to Borneo. At the same time, 20 Miss 75s were ordered for transportation, as well as a large number of rifle grenades and mortars.

After seeing Qin Zhiyuan's order, the always straightforward old Renault hesitated rarely, and then asked a question that Qin Zhiyuan did not expect.

"Qin, do you want to compete with the Dutch for Borneo?"

Compete...

Qin Zhiyuan subconsciously asked back: "Why do you ask that?"

"No matter who it is, if they see these numbers, they will ask this." After saying this, old Renault picked up the lighter and lit the order list, still watching it burn to ashes in the ashtray.

"Not now, maybe in the future." Qin Zhiyuan did not comment.

Although Old Renault and Qin Zhiyuan have always cooperated well, Qin Zhiyuan does not trust Old Renault in this matter.

Regarding national interests, Qin Zhiyuan can't trust anyone. Qin Zhiyuan can only trust himself and the Chinese soldiers in the Foreign Legion.

"If you really want to, I hope you can be smarter. At least, don't raise this matter to a state act." Old Renault was not without worries.

Qin Zhiyuan, who has become a French general, the commander-in-chief of the Foreign Legion, and the military and political chief of the new Baku Special Administrative Region, can indeed represent France in some aspects.

"State act? No, no, no, the French government is not involved in this matter. I just want to strive for a better living environment for the Chinese in Borneo." Qin Zhiyuan really didn't want to use France in this matter.

If Qin Zhiyuan used the French government on the issue of Borneo, perhaps the French government would provide Qin Zhiyuan with some convenience, but if Qin Zhiyuan drove away the Dutch in Borneo, God knows whether the French would come out to pick peaches, then what to do at that time, and also fall out with the French?

Qin Zhiyuan didn't want to turn himself and all the Chinese into the world's public enemy. Although it seemed that the Chinese, who accounted for a quarter of the world's population, were not afraid of being isolated, in fact, before the industrial system was completed, the Chinese were not qualified to say this.

"If you don't want to raise this matter to a state act, then I suggest that you don't have anything to do with it now. Although it sounds a bit difficult, Qin, you have to understand that you will never understand the thinking of those politicians." Old Renault thought a lot.

"How can I not be involved... Everyone knows my relationship with Umbrella, and it's not so easy to distance myself from it now." Qin Zhiyuan now regretted it a little. If Zhang Tianshou and others had not entered Borneo in the name of Umbrella Company, then things would be much easier now.

"How is it impossible? As long as you announce that Umbrella Company has withdrawn from Borneo, the next thing will have nothing to do with you. What happened in Surabaya will not involve you and the French government." Old Renault was straightforward.

"Withdraw..." Qin Zhiyuan pondered. Although it sounded a bit shameless, it was indeed feasible.

The Dutch government has protested to the French government, asking the French government to explain the Surabaya incident. Although the "Umbrella Company" is not under the jurisdiction of the French government, the company is registered in France after all. Therefore, the Dutch have reason to suspect that the French government is inseparable from this matter.

This matter has been a hot topic in the Allied countries recently. The Dutch are determined. If the French government does not give a reasonable explanation, then the Dutch government will never give up. In order to get "justice", the Dutch even transferred the troops originally deployed on the German-Dutch border to the Dutch-Belgian border, showing a posture of fighting for this.

Although the French are not afraid of the Dutch, at this critical moment, it is obvious that the Germans are the main enemy. Therefore, the French government has been very passive during this period. Some members of the Congress have submitted a bill asking Qin Zhiyuan to give an explanation for this.

"Okay, I will issue an order tomorrow to withdraw all members of the Umbrella Company who have entered Borneo. Of course, if someone disobeys orders, then I can't do anything. What I can do is to expel them from the company." Qin Zhiyuan understood what Old Renault meant.

What Old Renault meant was actually very simple.

Didn't the Dutch ask the "Umbrella" to withdraw from Borneo? Then Qin Zhiyuan should "withdraw". However, whether anyone will stay is not something Qin Zhiyuan can decide.

In this way, the Dutch can no longer use what happened in Borneo as an excuse.

At least, the Dutch can't use Qin Zhiyuan and the Umbrella as an excuse.
