Chapter 629 Elective Sultanate

1. A piece of news instantly plunged the entire Kingdom of the Netherlands into chaos.

According to news reports, Batavia, the capital of the Dutch East Indies, was officially captured by indigenous rebels. The Governor of East India, Dilke, was captured. More than 20,000 Dutch soldiers were in danger of being surrounded.

The main culprit for this was blamed on Dilke's poor command and Muhammad's betrayal.

The Dutch media that reported the news called Dilke a waste and Mohammed a traitor to the Netherlands, and said that all mixed-race people are like Mohammed and that mixed-race people should not be trusted.

This news caused an uproar in the Netherlands as soon as it was reported. There is no doubt about the importance of the Dutch East Indies to the Netherlands. Mohammed's betrayal and the capture of Governor Dilke also meant that the situation in the Dutch East Indies was irreversible.

After confirming that public opinion had turned into anger against Mohammad and Dilke, the Dutch Prime Minister was quite satisfied with his actions, and had to sadly express in the public road that he was considering abandoning the Dutch East Indies in exchange for tens of thousands of Dutch troops from the Netherlands. Peaceful return from East India.

I have to admit, ginger is still spicy. Such actions by the Dutch Prime Minister quickly allowed him to escape from the crisis and shifted all the blame for the loss of the Dutch East Indies to Governor Dirk and Mohammed. Instead, he became the one who had to make the decision for the sake of the people. The benevolent Prime Minister who made the decision to sacrifice.

Sure enough, with the statement of the Dutch Prime Minister, the Dutch vented their anger on Mohammed and Dirk. Governor Dirk also encountered a large number of people in the Netherlands. Harassment, some people threw money at Governor Dirk's mansion. Throw some debris, bricks and stones etc.

No matter what the current situation of Governor Dirk is, in short, in the Netherlands now, Mohammed and Governor Dirk have become the two major sinners.

Understanding that this was a time to cut the knot quickly, the Dutch Prime Minister immediately announced that he would completely hand over the Dutch East Indies to Australasia in exchange for up to 35 million Australian dollars in funds and Australasia's commitment to rescue Dutch soldiers and officials.

On the day the treaty was reached, Australasia announced with a high profile that it would send troops to the Dutch East Indies. While gaining control of the Dutch East Indies, it would also do everything possible to rescue Dutch officials and soldiers.

In order to express his concern for the safety of Dutch soldiers, Arthur specially ordered all three armies of the sea, land and air force to be dispatched to end the war as quickly as possible.

The indigenous people who had previously made contact with Australasia, including Mohammed, were smart enough to stay in their own territories and prepare for subsequent negotiations with Australasia.

Those indigenous forces that had not made contact with Australasia naturally suffered a disaster. The firepower and combat effectiveness of the Australasian army were unquestionable. Coupled with the joint actions of the sea, land and air forces, the attack on the indigenous people was like a devastating blow.

At 1pm, the Australasian army officially arrived in the Dutch East Indies. On the next day alone, Australasia used powerful firepower to capture Batavia and rescue the Dutch East Indies colonial government and Governor Dilke.

Of course, the main reason why Batavia was able to be conquered so quickly was that all the indigenous troops evacuated Batavia, leaving only a small number of troops to garrison and take care of the imprisoned colonial government.

The war on Java lasted less than a week, and Australasian troops soon landed on Sumatra and Kalimantan.

Perhaps due to the combat gap between the two, this counter-insurgency war only lasted a month in the hands of the Australasian army. After wiping out three indigenous countries and two indigenous forces, the three Dutch East Indies The islands were once again under Australasian control.

Faced with such a huge disparity, the Dutch did not dare to have any thoughts at all. In the end, Governor Dilk, at the urging of the Dutch government, hurriedly completed the handover procedures with the Australasian government and returned to the Netherlands.

Although his crime in this colonial war was not too great, he was destined to be judged by the Dutch government and the royal family.

After the withdrawal of the Dutch government's influence, how to deal with the Dutch and those mixed-race and indigenous people in the Dutch East Indies has become the most difficult thing for Arthur at present.

It has to be admitted that the population distribution of the Dutch East Indies is too complex. The majority of the population is made up of the local indigenous people. The large number of ethnic groups among these indigenous peoples is one of the important reasons why the indigenous peoples of the Dutch East Indies are difficult to control.

In addition, the Dutch East Indies also had Dutch, mixed-race people, other immigrants and indigenous people from Asia, a small number of Europeans, etc.

Naturally, it is impossible to deal with these people in a one-size-fits-all manner. Those who do not obey the rule of the state are best to be expelled or moved to other areas.

After the situation changed, Eric met Mohammed again, who was in a very uneasy mood, and brought Arthur's attitude, which was that they were still allowed to freely choose an island.

Of course, it is impossible for the indigenous countries to merge into one force now. There are still several remaining indigenous countries. Coupled with Muhammad's power, the relationship between the indigenous people is also extremely complicated.

In order to completely suppress and appease these indigenous people, Martin, the commander of the Second Guards Division, specially organized a meeting to convene all the indigenous people who had contact with Australasia to discuss how to deal with these indigenous people.

At the beginning of the meeting, Commander Martin directly stated Australasia's attitude, that is, the indigenous people can choose any of the three islands in the Dutch East Indies, and Australasia allows the indigenous people to establish an independent indigenous union on this island. nation.

The remaining two islands are under the rule of Australasia. Aboriginal presence is not allowed on these two islands, otherwise it will be regarded as a provocation to Australasia.

Australasia's arrogant attitude naturally aroused dissatisfaction among the indigenous people, but the powerful combat capabilities of the Australasian army also prevented these indigenous people from making any noise of dissatisfaction.

Seeing the slightly stalemate situation, Nur Brady Hakala stood up very smartly and said to Division Commander Martin: "Dear General Martin, I agree with your request. But please, what do you want? What do you mean by establishing a united Aboriginal nation?”

For Nur Brady Hakala, their sultanate had long since perished, and whether to move or not was not a big issue.

On the contrary, as long as he controls the army and population in his hands, no matter where the sultanate moves, he can have a strong army and guarantee his strength.

More importantly, anyone with a discerning eye can now see that the strength of Australasia far exceeds that of the Netherlands. Naturally, the situation in the Dutch East Indies cannot be the same as it was during the Dutch rule.

If the Australasians are really offended, facing such a nearby powerful country, no matter how large the indigenous population is, it is impossible to resist.

Apart from anything else, as long as Australasia can be equipped with enough heavy firepower weapons and an army of about 100,000 people, it can ensure the complete stability of the Dutch East Indies.

Now that weapons and equipment have been completely crushed, even if all the indigenous people unite, they cannot avoid the tragic ending of being massacred.

"Let Foreign Minister Mr. Dai Ze tell you this matter personally." Division Commander Martin nodded, and the soldiers invited Australasia Foreign Minister Dai Ze from outside the door.

Upon hearing that the other party was a member of the Australasian cabinet, many indigenous chiefs and tribal leaders couldn't help but gulped and became slightly nervous.

"Everyone, please allow me to briefly introduce myself." Minister Daize said with a smile: "I am the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Australasia and the person in charge of Aboriginal affairs under His Majesty's full authority.

Originally, Australasia was going to establish a new Australian East India colony, but His Majesty lamented the difficulties faced by the indigenous people and decided to give you a chance to establish a new country.

But it is impossible to give all of the Dutch East Indies to you. We allow you to choose any island to establish an independent country. As long as there is no conflict with Australasia, we can guarantee your independence. "

"Minister Daize, what is the system of this new country? How should we distribute the many indigenous tribes and forces?" Muhammad stood up boldly and asked with a slightly uneasy mood.

Although he was also a famous general in the Dutch East Indies, in front of Australasia, even the Dutch Prime Minister was not enough, let alone a general who only commanded a brigade.

"I have discussed this matter with Your Majesty. You can establish a united indigenous country." Minister Daize replied very politely: "Considering the complex relationships between the various indigenous forces and the different ethnic issues , the political system of this indigenous country is somewhat special, and it can be named an elective sultanate."

"Elective Sultanate?" Doubts appeared on the faces of the indigenous chiefs and Muhammad, and they asked involuntarily.

"Of course!" Minister Daize said with a smile: "This country is destined to be formed by the merger of multiple small sultanates. You can each recognize the sultan in your own territory.

But the country must also have a unified person in charge, and the person who leads the country is also named the Great Sultan.

In order to demonstrate fairness and justice, this great Sudan is jointly elected by all the small countries that make up this country. My suggestion is to adopt a lifelong system so that the country can have a unified policy tendency.

In order to facilitate the election, each of the small sultanates that make up the great sultanate can nominate a candidate. Together with the sultans and rulers of the small sultanates, they form the parliament of the great sultanate, which is responsible for the election of the great sultanate and the supervision of the government.

As for the government election of the Grand Sultanate, my suggestion is that the Grand Sultan appoints himself to facilitate the management and operation of the government. "Looking at the different expressions of other people in the conference room, Minister Dai Ze said still very politely.
