Chapter 627 Human Heart

1. Dirk, the Governor-General of the Dutch East Indies, issued martial law to all East Indies, requiring all indigenous people who obeyed Dutch rule to stay in their city and not to travel to other cities under any pretext.

Anyone who does not obey this order will be regarded as a rioter, and the Dutch army can directly kill them without following any orders.

Also on this day, the Dutch army and the indigenous army fought fiercely outside the city of Batavia. The artillery fire from both sides was so loud that if you didn't watch carefully, you would really think it was an unprecedented battle.

But the actual battle scene left many intelligence officers in Australasia a bit stunned.

The two sides were not so much fighting fiercely as they were simply massacres carried out by one side against the other.

The several divisions stationed in Batavia are still relatively good, and their combat effectiveness in frontal defense far exceeds that of the attacking indigenous troops.

If the number of indigenous people was not too large, I am afraid that the offensive and defensive situation of both sides would change instantly, and the Dutch army would be the one to counterattack.

It was at this time that Muhammad received an order from Governor Dirk, and the army was stationed in the southeast of Batavia, becoming the second line of defense from outside Batavia to the city.

Although Muhammad's army was allowed to participate in this offensive and defensive battle, Governor Dilke was also thoughtful and did not allow Muhammad to be stationed at the front line to prevent him from gaining too much merit in the war.

This also placed Muhammad's army between Batavia and the front line. It could quickly support the front line, but it could also quickly withdraw into the city.

Muhammad didn't know what Governor Dirk was thinking, but after he had decided to defect to the indigenous side, Muhammad didn't care about such exclusion.

Even thinking about it, there were advantages to being stationed between the front line and Batavia. Governor Dirk was greedy for success and sent most of his troops to the front line for defense. The defensive force in Batavia was very weak.

As the army closest to Batavia, and with the native army attracting most of the attention of the Dutch army, Muhammad had a bold idea, which was to directly raid Batavia, take control of the Dutch East Indies government, and then fight with the natives. The army surrounded the Dutch troops on the front line and completely defeated the Dutch colonial government.

Although this idea seems very crazy, if you are not careful, you may be attacked by the Dutch army.

But this is no longer a fear for Muhammad, who aspires to become an indigenous controller. How can he realize his ambition without experiencing big risks?

Thinking about it, Muhammad immediately picked up the city defense map near Batavia.

Although the specific defense situation of Governor Dilke was not clear, Muhammad still knew how many troops there were in Batavia and which lines of defense these troops were on.

The garrison at Batavia consisted of approximately two divisions, one brigade, and a small number of the Governor's Guards. Both divisions were all sent to the front, and Mahomet's own army was that brigade.

This also means that as long as a small number of Governor Dirk's personal guards are quickly defeated, the situation in Batavia can be quickly controlled.

In order to ensure nothing went wrong, Muhammad urgently contacted Eric and asked for some weapons and equipment support.

Of course, there is no shortage of ordinary weapons for Muhammad. The weapons and equipment support he requested were actually some heavy firepower weapons.

In the worst case scenario, if the sneak attack on Batavia fails, relying on these heavy firepower weapons and gathering all the indigenous troops, another offensive and defensive battle can be fought.

This was also Muhammad's true thought. He would attack Batavia no matter what. If the sneak attack could succeed, it would naturally be necessary to avoid casualties as much as possible.

As for the degree of control over the army, Muhammad is relatively assured. Because of their own rejection, Muhammad's army was also somewhat dissatisfied with Governor Dilke.

What's more important is that there are very few pure-blooded Dutch in this army, more of a mixture of Dutch and indigenous people, and some indigenous people who seem to be loyal to the Netherlands.

As their chief general, Muhammad was discriminated against, not to mention that these were just ordinary soldiers and low-level officers of mixed race.

If Muhammad had not been suppressing it, dissatisfaction and mutiny would have broken out in this army long ago.

Now if Muhammad announced a counterattack on Batavia, at least most of the people would support Muhammad's decision.

As for the remaining people, just let the Dutch go, I believe other mixed-race and indigenous people will have smarter ideas.

In order to capture Batavia as soon as possible, Eric supported Muhammad very much and soon transported a batch of heavy weapons, including 20 artillery pieces and 20 heavy machine guns, including a machine developed by Australasia itself. Cannons are completely sufficient as fire suppression.

The natives launched a fierce attack on Batavia's defensive positions. Because of Australasia's request, the indigenous troops almost came out in full force, and more than 40,000 troops charged toward the front line in a mighty manner.

The Dutch army also needs to pay attention to the full-scale indigenous attack. Even 40,000 pigs would take a while to be slaughtered, let alone more than 40,000 living people.

Although the natives were at a comprehensive disadvantage in terms of firepower, most Dutch soldiers were still very conservative and were unwilling to stick their heads out most of the time.

A few kilometers away, after hearing the fierce artillery fire and gunshots from the front line, Muhammad was moved, looked at his confidants, pretended to be sad and said: "Everyone, the front line is being fought fiercely. , but we can only watch here. We are afraid that we may not be able to fire a shot when this war is over. Do mixed-race people have to suffer such discrimination?"

These confidants are also mixed-race people. For those orthodox Dutch, they most look down on these mixed-race people who combine with the indigenous people.

Even if this is not the fault of those mixed-race people, who made their elders choose to be mixed-race?

Seeing that several of his confidants were obviously dissatisfied with Governor Dilk's arrangements, Muhammad then continued: "Everyone, do you want to continue to be discriminated against by the damn Governor Dilk, or do you want to find a new route to make our name resounding? How about changing our status quo in this land?”

Hearing what Muhammad said, several of his confidants were obviously very loyal and bold, and they quickly said without caring: "General, just tell me, what do you want us to do?"

"How about a sneak attack on Batavia, surrounding the Dutch with the native army, and establishing our own country?" Muhammad said word by word, carefully watching the reactions of his confidants.

"Raid on Batavia?" No matter how loyal these confidants were to Muhammad, they could not help but be surprised by Muhammad's bold idea.

This also means that they will completely separate from the rule of the Netherlands, and their identity will be completely abandoned in the Netherlands.

"What? Don't you dare?" Muhammad asked with a smile: "If you don't dare, you can leave now and I won't stop you.

But I hope you won’t stop me when I take action. I don’t want to fight with you. "

"It's not that we don't dare, General." One of his confidants quickly explained: "What if we betray the Netherlands and suffer revenge from the Dutch?

Even if we can establish an indigenous country, we can't resist the Netherlands and the powers behind the Netherlands! "

This is actually what many close friends are worried about. Although the Netherlands is not powerful, it can still win the support of some powerful countries.

Moreover, if they betray the Netherlands openly, they will be disgusted in the eyes of those powerful countries. Even if they can establish a new country, they are destined to not go far.

"I have already thought of this matter." Muhammad said with a smile: "Eric is an intelligence officer of the Royal Security Service in Australasia. Let him explain it to you!"

After hearing what Muhammad said, Eric walked in from the door, bowed to everyone very gentlemanly, and then introduced himself with a smile: "Everyone, please allow me to make a brief introduction of myself.

My name is Eric and I am an intelligence officer with the Royal Australasian Security Service. I understand your concerns, but please be assured that under the protection of Australasia you will not face any retaliation from the Netherlands.

All your family members in the Netherlands will be safely transferred by us, and there is no need to worry that the hostility of the Dutch will be transferred to your family members.

At the same time, we support you in building a new indigenous nation. As long as this country's interests do not conflict with Australasia's, you will be able to get strong support from Australasia. "

The revenge of a Dutch country is not taken seriously by Australasia, and it is very easy to take away a few ordinary people from the Netherlands.

More importantly, most of the families of these mixed-race people were in the Dutch East Indies themselves, which was the real reason why they became mixed-race people.

After all, if he settled in the Dutch East Indies, it would not be surprising to sometimes mix with the indigenous people.

Although it is well known that the Dutch hate the indigenous people, this does not prevent some Dutch people from coveting the beauty of some indigenous women.

After hearing what Eric said, many of his confidants looked at Muhammad and said, "Go ahead! General."

With the support of all his confidants, Muhammad was in a much better mood. With a wave of his hand, he began to formulate policies: "According to my investigation and understanding, there are currently less than a thousand troops left in Batavia and they are scattered. Everywhere in the city.

From our place we can reach Batavia without encountering any Dutch troops. As long as we enter Batavia and capture the colonial government and the governor's palace with hundreds of troops, we will no longer encounter any obstacles in our occupation of Batavia.

As long as Batavia can be captured before the Dutch troops on the front line can react, victory in this war will become inevitable. "
