Chapter 624 Undercurrent Surges

Arthur did not know the Dutch's decision to do their best to suppress the rebellion, but no matter how much the Dutch resisted, the loss of the Dutch East Indies had become a fact.

In this incident, the Netherlands, the Aboriginals and Australasia were not at fault. The only fault is that the Netherlands, a medium-sized country far away in Europe, has such a huge colony as the Dutch East Indies, but the Dutch East Indies are so close to the country. Australasia of the Great Powers.

Arthur's actions were only to help the Dutch escape in advance. After all, judging from the situation in the Netherlands, the Dutch East Indies would not last long and were destined to break away from the Dutch rule.

After knowing that Bob was behind Australasia, Nur Brady Hakara treated him as a guest, and even the military asked him repeatedly.

Of course, this does not mean that Nour Brady Hakala will fully defect to Australasia.

Compared with his subordinates who are not good at strategy, under the premise of the same purpose, occasionally relying on the help of Australasians will be more helpful to Nur Brady Hakara's plan.

The assistance Australasia gave to these indigenous people was very simple, except for a small amount of weapons, which was some food that had been stored for a long time.

However, these supports are very important for the current situation, which allows the indigenous forces to quickly expand their troops while maintaining food and clothing, and crush the Dutch East Indies in terms of military strength.

The natives don't have many things, but they have many people. There is no problem at all for tens of millions of indigenous people to arm an army of millions, and the limit of the army can even be expanded to about 5 million.

Of course, this war does not require such an exaggerated army. The entire Dutch army only has about 200,000 troops in total. No matter how bad the indigenous people are, 50 will give them an advantage over the Dutch army.

After all, this is not the Netherlands. Not only does it take more than a month for the Dutch to transport weapons and equipment, but the costs are also beyond the reach of the Dutch government.

At Bob's prompting, the indigenous army controlled by Nur Brady Hakara quickly captured Zhanbei in southern Sumatra, and officially announced the reconstruction of the Sultanate of Zhanbei, with Zhanbei as its capital.

It has only been 20 years since the fall of the Zhanbi Sultanate, and there is still strong support among the indigenous people in the Zhanbi area.

Sure enough, after the Sultanate of Zhanbei was officially rebuilt, a large number of small and medium-sized indigenous forces began to defect to the Sultanate of Zhanbei. This allowed the newly rebuilt country to quickly exceed one million people, and Nur Brady Hakara's army also took advantage of the situation. It expanded to 20,000 people.

The success of Nur Brady Hakara made other indigenous people very jealous. In just over a week, on the three islands of the Dutch East Indies, the Sultanate of Monument, the Sultanate of Shaker, and the Sultanate of Deli, More than ten indigenous countries, including the Sultanate of Aceh, the Sultanate of Kutai, the Sultanate of Burungan, the Sultanate of Sanfa, and the Sultanate of Yogyakarta, have sprung up. They were either rebuilt from the extinct indigenous sultanates or surrendered to The natives of the Dutch East Indies declared independence. In short, the Dutch East Indies were really in chaos.

After these sultanates became independent or re-established, they all set their sights on the lands controlled by the Dutch East Indies.

These lands were either the former lands of their country, or the lands of some extinct indigenous sultanates. Anyway, the Dutch had snatched them from their hands.

Now was the best chance to defeat the Dutch, and these natives naturally would not give up, and decided to directly dismantle the Dutch rule in the Dutch East Indies.

After Nur Brady Hakara re-established the Sultanate of Zhanbei, he set his sights on Palembang, not far south of Zhanbei.

The name of Palembang may be a bit unfamiliar, but it also has another name, called Palembang.

There used to be a behemoth on the island of Sumatra called the Sultanate of Palembang, which was forcibly disbanded and annexed by the Dutch hundreds of years ago.

Palembang, the capital of the Sultanate of Palembang, is also one of the largest cities in Sumatra and can be called the central city in southern Sumatra.

The strategic plan formulated by Bob for Nur Brady Hakara was to first capture the station, and then annex Bahrain, Lampung Port and Bengkulu in order to establish a great sultanate in southern Sumatra.

The most important point is that southern Sumatra is very close to Java, even just separated by the Sunda Strait.

As the closest indigenous country to Batavia, if Nur Brady Hakara can complete his strategic plan as quickly as possible, he may even hope to directly capture Batavia and establish a huge empire spanning Sumatra and Java. Sultanate.

After all, compared to Sumatra, which has a population of only a few million, Java Island, with a population of more than 20 million, is the center of the entire East Indian indigenous population.

It was also because he understood that Java was the center of gravity of the Dutch East Indies. After discovering that the Dutch did not intend to sue for peace, Arthur asked the Royal Security Intelligence Service to focus its work on Java.

In addition to the two sultanates on the island of Java, the Dutch themselves are not actually unified.

First of all, there are many mixed-race Dutch and indigenous people in Batavia. Naturally, it is impossible for all of these mixed-race people to be loyal to the Dutch rule. There are still many mixed-race people who uphold indigenous ideas.

In addition, a large part of the Dutch colonial army was composed of indigenous or mixed races, which also means that the current Batavia is not as peaceful as it seems.

1. Batavia, the capital of the Dutch East Indies.

"General Muhammad, a man who claims to be your friend is looking for you." In a villa in Batavia, a servant pushed open the master's office and whispered very respectfully.

"Friend?" Muhammad was a little confused, but he still asked the servant to let him in.

"General Muhammad, long time no see." The visitor opened the door, smiled heartily, and said with a smile to General Muhammad, who was sitting in the office with a frown.

"Eric, how could it be you?" Muhammad was shocked. He quickly stepped forward to confirm whether he had seen it wrong. Then he asked the servant to bring two cups of tea. He smiled and pulled the visitor to the seat while he sat next to him. .

"Why, won't you welcome me after becoming a general?" A man named Arik said with a smile.

"Forget it, Eric. Don't you know? I am a general just to appease the mixed-race people. I have no real power in the army at all. Most of the army is ruled by General Monk, except for my army. Besides, my title of general is not applicable anywhere." Muhammad smiled, shook his head, and said with a slight sigh.

"The Dutch East Indies are already facing such a serious crisis, why are they still so wary of Muhammad?" Eric asked with a smile.

"Forget it, the full-scale rebellion has already caused a headache for the colonial government. They are worried about whether I will also follow the rebellion to completely subvert the rule of East India." Muhammad said with a sneer.

They were obviously loyal to the royal government, but just because of their mixed-race status, they were jealous of the colonial government, and even tried to exclude themselves in the army. Such rejection made Muhammad dislike it, and even felt a little disgusted from the bottom of his heart. .

"Honestly, Muhammad, don't you want to change the current situation?" Eric smiled and nodded, looking at his friend with a deep look.

"How to change it? As long as the fact that I am a mixed-race person cannot be changed, it is impossible for the colonial government to re-employ me. What's more, I am still someone who has returned from studying in Australasia, so they are even less likely to trust me at such a moment. "Muhammad shook his head, obviously losing hope in the idea of ​​changing the status quo.

"Oh, what a pity. How come the East Indian student who was once hailed as the most talented student at the Royal Military Academy was not reused when he returned to East India?" Eric sighed first, stood on the same line as Muhammad, and pulled After closing the distance between the two, he continued: "But I am not talking about changing your status in the Kingdom of the Netherlands, Mohammed."

"Eric, you are probably talking about Australasia, right?" Muhammad was not surprised by his old friend's intention. After all, Eric and he were both international students at the Royal Military Academy of Australasia.

Although neither of them ended up staying in Australasia, Eric was most likely to be loyal to Australasia.

"That's right, Mohammed. As an old friend, I will not hide it from you. My current identity is an intelligence officer of the Royal Australasian Security Intelligence Service. I am responsible for recruiting forces that oppose the Netherlands and subverting the rule of the Dutch East Indies.

Muhammad, your talents are completely wronged in the small Dutch East Indies. Why don't you try to join Australasia?

You are not unaware of His Majesty the King's attitude towards attracting foreign talents. As long as you are willing to defect to Australasia, you will still be a general. Eric nodded and told his purpose of coming without any concealment. He looked at his old friend with an earnest look and persuaded him.

"I understand everything you said, Eric. But don't forget, after all, I am still a mixture of Dutch and Aboriginal people. I will not be popular wherever I go.

Besides, I am either Dutch or Aboriginal, so how can I join Australasia? "Muhammad shook his head and rejected his old friend's kindness.

Eric was surprised by Muhammad's rejection. After all, it was not easy to persuade such an ambitious talent to defect to Australasia.

However, Muhammad's attitude also satisfied Eric. At least he was not too repulsive about his intention. This proved that Muhammad's loyalty to the Kingdom of the Netherlands had decreased, and he even said that he only needed an excuse to rebel against the Netherlands.

"If you don't mind, I can introduce you to join any indigenous force. The Dutch rule in East India may be overturned at any time. Since you have indigenous blood, why don't you join the indigenous force? Your Majesty also has plans to support an indigenous country. If you don't mind, I can recommend you as the Minister of Defense of this indigenous country." Eric smiled and said his second proposal, which was the real purpose of his trip.

The previous request for Muhammad to surrender to Australasia was just a prelude to the second request.

After all, Muhammad is still a mixture of Dutch and Aboriginal people. As he said, even if he defected to Australasia, it would not be easy to gain Arthur's trust.
