Chapter 1332 Military Peninsula

Most imperialist countries are like this, 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.

Qataris, men, women, old and young, add up to only more than 10,000 people, and there are even fewer young and strong people, so the Governor of Batavia can safely and boldly use Qataris without worrying about backlash.

Even Qataris in the East Indian colonies can be said to be a rarer minority than the Dutch, and the fighting power of Arabs has always been good, or the more backward the economy, the poorer the place, the cheaper life seems.

And the best thing is that the beliefs of Qataris are consistent with most of the ethnic groups in the East Indies, and the Dutch are happy to see this drama of infidels fighting and consuming each other.

"Governor Van der Beck, you can arrange these Qatari immigrants at will, whether in Batavia or anywhere in the Dutch East Indies, as long as their basic living conditions can be guaranteed."

The person who talked to Van der Beck was Melsch, the director of the East African Diplomatic Office in Batavia.

Although the Dutch East Indies colony was only a Dutch colony, Batavia was considered an important regional center, so the Batavia Diplomatic Office was specially established to solve some unimportant diplomatic issues, such as commercial disputes involving East Africa, or some minor issues between East Africa and the Dutch East Indies.

This Qatar immigration itself is not an important matter for East Africa, so it was handed over to the Batavia Diplomatic Office by the superior authorities.

Governor Van der Beek said: "Of course, Mr. 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 impossible. On the one hand, there are not many Qatari immigrants. On the other hand, the environment in Batavia is much better than that in Qatar. From this point of view, the Qataris should thank your country for taking them in."

When Van der Beek and Mersch were talking, the Qataris also looked at the land excitedly. As Mersch said, going from Qatar to Batavia is like going from hell to heaven for the Qataris.

The leader of the Qataris, Jassim, said to his people: "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 lives will only be better than in the past, and we will also be away from the war in the Persian Gulf."

As the spokesperson of the Qataris, Jassim must ensure his authority among the Qataris, so as the leader who pushes the Qataris to leave their homeland, Jassim can only exaggerate the benefits of this migration to unite the majority.

And ordinary Qataris are also whispering about this strange land.

"I can't believe there is such a place in the world, full of life, not endless sand."

"There is no shortage of water here. As long as there is water, everything will be fine. Whether it is growing crops or nomadic, the situation cannot be worse than staying in Qatar."

"The development level here is very low. Even with so many green plants, I don't know how many livestock can be raised. But I haven't 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 for ordinary people who have lived in Qatar for generations.

After all, the living conditions of Qataris in the past were too difficult. For a water source, a small-scale tribal conflict might be triggered. For a piece of grassland, two herder families might fight. Any piece of grassland that can grow green plants in Qatar is an extremely precious resource.

When you come to Batavia, everything seems to have depreciated. The land here seems to be able to squeeze out water. The whole city is wrapped in green. The biggest survival obstacles that once plagued Qatar, water sources and green land, have all been solved.

…

The Qataris migrated to the "ideal place of dreams", while East Africa can only enjoy the "bitter and cold land" of the Qatar Peninsula.

First of all, the 37th Brigade will be stationed in Qatar. After clearing the population of Qatar, in order to prevent forces such as Britain or Bahrain from returning to Qatar, the army must be used as a basic guarantee.

Secondly, the navy. The Third Fleet initially plans to build a large military port in Doha.

Doha is very close to the former Sani family's city of Beida. With the expansion of Doha's urban construction in the past, the two places were directly merged together.

Although Beida has a ready-made port and was the only foreign commercial trade port in Qatar before, Beida cannot meet the needs of the East African Navy. The main reason is that the depth of Beida's port is only about three to four meters, and large ships cannot pass.

Therefore, after investigation, the East African Third Fleet selected Doha, which is closest to Beida, as a major berthing port for the Third Fleet.

The only disadvantage here is that there is no drinking water resource, but water can be diverted from Beida by laying pipelines.

According to the Third Fleet's idea, when the construction of Doha Port is completed, East Africa's control over the Persian Gulf, especially the waters around the Beibu Gulf territory, will be greatly enhanced.

Because the Qatar Peninsula is deep in the Persian Gulf, it naturally becomes the natural barrier of the Beibu Gulf Territory, which is the UAE in the past. In particular, it can play the role of separating the British Bahrain military base from the main territorial waters of the Beibu Gulf Territory in East Africa.

The Third Fleet's arrangement for Qatar is not limited to this. They also want to build two military ports on the north and east coasts of Qatar, so that the East African Navy can monitor the entire Persian Gulf region from three directions with the Qatar Peninsula as the center.

However, due to the current economic situation and natural conditions in Qatar, it is quite difficult to achieve this goal. Qatar is actually "empty" and there are no ready-made workers to recruit locally, so only East Africa can send engineers to participate in the construction and transformation of Qatar.

Qatar has many ports, but a large part of them are due to siltation. If you want to build them into ports that can be used and developed, you must carry out dredging.

Of course, even so, the port conditions in Qatar are much better than those along the Beibu Gulf Territory in East Africa.

According to the Third Fleet's arrangement, if Doha Port is completed, it will become the Third Fleet's first military port that can dock battleships and other large ships.

Unlike Qatar in the past, East Africa does not need to consider Doha's economic development tasks, which also reduces the demand for water and materials.

Beida near Doha Port will become the headquarters of the 37th Brigade. After all, it is the former "capital" of Qatar. Although the infrastructure is poor, it is also the only place where the 37th Brigade can move in with just a bag.

As for Qatar, which borders the Beibu Gulf Territory, Ernst does not intend to incorporate it into the Beibu Gulf Territory, except for these two regions, which were originally two countries in history, namely the UAE and Qatar.

Ernst believes that Qatar's independent Beibu Gulf Territory can share the risk of independence. In this way, even if the Beibu Gulf Territory or Qatar is lost, East Africa can still guarantee a stable oil production base in the Persian Gulf region.

Moreover, Ernst is interested in Qatar's military role and is ready to build 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 complete military peninsula inserted into the Persian Gulf by East Africa.

On land, it can directly threaten the entire coast of the Arabian Peninsula. From the air, with Qatar as the center, it can bring the entire Persian Gulf coastal countries into the strike range. At the same time, through the navy, it can monitor the entire Persian Gulf for possible threats to the interests of East African countries.
