1890 King of Southeast Asia

Liu Yiming felt that he was not familiar enough with the people around him. In the first part of the meeting, the establishment of a temporary regime was discussed. The question of whether to establish this issue was passed unanimously. Everyone believed that a regime needed to be established, but there were differences in the choice of regime and title.

A group of people headed by Chen Jiangtao did not have too many requirements for the regime, but required that the name must be loud, such as Da Nan and Alliance. Anyway, the requirement was that it sounded mighty and loud.

Another group of people was mainly the Wang family. The Wang family was purely engaged in trade. They were one of the few Chinese in Surabaya who did not run a plantation. They had three cargo ships of more than 2,000 tons and more than ten passenger and cargo ships of 1,200 tons. The main routes passed through India, Qing, Japan, Malacca, Batavia and other major cities in the Indo-Pacific. The requirement of these people was to be able to raise the Chinese flag while not overly stimulating others, and simply targeting the Dutch.

The other group is mainly composed of young people recruited by Liu Yiming, mainly the leaders of various bases, but the leader of this group is Liu Yiming's father, Liu Wanhua. The starting angle of this group is very tricky, low-key, pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger. Paralyze the Dutch, accumulate strength, and find an opportunity to steal the home!

The demands are also different. Chen Jiangtao wants to seize greater power, at least drive away the Dutch on Java Island, and vigorously develop the army, do his best to defeat the Dutch, and accept the entire Dutch East Indies colony. For long-term combat, he fully supports the attitude and is optimistic that the situation will get better.

The bottom line of the Wang family and others is only limited autonomy. With the freedom of military, governance, public security, economy, etc., they can give up sovereignty and become Dutch overseas consulates, accept the taxation, diplomacy, military restrictions of the Netherlands, etc. For the next battle, they are willing to provide limited support, but more of it is fear. They think they can negotiate with the Dutch and stop when they see the good. As for long-term combat, the probability of failure is higher.

This group of people are just stupid, not bad in nature. They have been colonized for many years, and their fear of the Dutch has been engraved. In addition, as businessmen, they do not know the difference between contracts and treaties, and naively believe that negotiations can solve the problem.

Liu Wanhua and others simply did not think so much. Liu Yiming kept working for this group of people, saying that they should accumulate strength, defeat the Dutch, and open up a living space for the Chinese. Now there is the surprise attack on Sishui, and now they are thinking of showing weakness to the enemy, pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger, and surprise attacking Batavia to attack Huanglong. So this group of people only need the inside, even if it is called the Villagers' Self-Government Committee of Sishui Village, a Dutch colonial city.

The three factions argued in the hall and disagreed with each other. Chen Jiangtao thought that the Wang family was too cowardly. The Wang family thought that it was uncertain whether they would win or lose in the future fight, so it was better to stop while they were ahead and strive for the status of autonomy. Liu Wanhua felt that the most important thing now was to unite, develop quietly, show weakness to the enemy, and steal the home. As for whether to continue fighting, the position was certain. He and Chen Jiangtao both believed that the Dutch would not allow the emergence of autonomous territories. What would other Dutch colonies think? If he could be autonomous, then I also wanted autonomy. How could the Dutch lead the team?

Liu Yiming preferred Liu Wanhua and others.

The most important thing was that Xu Hui said that after the new equipment was installed, with the tools of the shipyard, Sishui would have the ability to manufacture shells. Bullets and shells could be manufactured by themselves, and installation, debugging and trial production were required.

It will take about a month to manufacture fuses, explosives, and shells. Mass production can be achieved within two months. In addition, various machine tools can be manufactured. In addition to the old machine tools left by the Dutch, some machine tools can also be produced manually. Guns can be produced within half a year. With the addition of certain equipment, small-caliber short guns can also be produced.

"Okay, okay, let's negotiate." Liu Yiming watched the time pass by little by little and had to speak first.

"Uncle Chen, you mean to raise a big flag and gather more Chinese."

"Uncle Wang is thinking of keeping a low profile."

"Dad, do you mean that we should develop quietly and play Tai Chi with the Dutch?"

"That's probably what you mean." The three thought for a while before saying.

"Okay, I roughly understand, then let's do this, in the name of Chinese autonomy, talk to the Dutch first, it is definitely the best to be able to talk, we need time now, if we can't talk, we can only fight back." Liu Yiming thought for a while.

"Also, Uncle Chen wants to raise a big flag, gather more Chinese people, and establish the name of a Chinese autonomous region. This can be done. The advantage is that it does not overly stimulate the British. The British do not believe us, but they really want to see us cause trouble for the Dutch."

The three did not object. Since the moment Liu Yiming took over the command knife from Henry, the Chinese in Surabaya have supported Liu Yiming. This meeting also made the three people quite satisfied, proving that Liu Yiming did not ignore their feelings.

"Then the general scope has been determined. You decide the name. Now we have to solve the problem of the army." Liu Yiming found that the three did not object, so he went straight to the most important topic.

"Is there any problem with the army?" Chen Jiangtao was the first to say nervously: "You can tell me any difficulties. As long as you can do it, just say a word."

"Don't worry, Uncle Chen, I'll talk slowly."

Liu Yiming paused.

"So far, we have a team of 1,700 people. We have been trained and participated in the entire Surabaya battle, but there are still many problems."

"First of all, there is a medical problem. There are many soldiers who have no need to sacrifice this battle. The soldiers will not even have the most basic hemostatic operation. Many soldiers bleed and died. Surgeon "

"Followed by the number of troops, we only have 1,700 people. The five hundred people who removed the two turrets were only 1,200 in mobile troops. They seized three warships. It is expected to be a sea defense camp, about 300 people, other barracks, government affairs bureaus, and factories, people need people, so our military strength is particularly scarce. This is my expansion plan. People, I have a confidence to keep the entire Surabaya, including the surrounding plantation! "

In the hall, you look at me and I look at you. Six thousand people are indeed not a small number. The entire Surabaya is only 20,000 Chinese. According to half of them, it is calculated by half. Women, 5,000 men, 6,000 people account for 12%!

"If there is no problem, we will mobilize each household when we go back. There is no army. Everything is virtual. The plantation garden is stopped. In the hands of the Netherlands! We are all grasshoppers on the rope. Now we are not united. Do you regret it until the Dutch knife is cut on the person here? " What he said to Liu Yiming was for the people present.

"Yes! If you decide, do it, do n’t deduct Soso Xiaoyu Qi, what can it be done." The owner of the Wang family also stood up and said.

"Everyone, it is not so serious. Now the era has changed. It is not time for the Dutch to do the master. Plant, docks, and various natives can do it. We can't use a thousand guns, and we can send them to various plants, docks, etc.

After hearing Liu Yiming, the participants were glowing and weapons. The experience of Chinese people over the years has made them have magical faith in weapons.

"I support it. Anyway, it is not difficult to work in the plantation. I’ m tired. The dock does n’t need to move my brain to let the natives do it.

"Yes, in that case, you can free up 10,000 or 20,000 people, not only to expand the army, but also expand the factory. If the manpower is sufficient, the production of guns and ammunition can also be advanced in advance!" Xu Hui said.

"That's it. Go back and call them. See how much they are willing to come. Before the battle between Surabaya, if it wasn't for a sound, the nephews of my nephew could not wait to rush up!" Liu Wanhua supported.

"So, this is justified. This is very urgent. Please arrange for everyone to go back to the notice immediately. You can die a few people a few days earlier. We will be expensive and consume!" Essence

"I let people come now, you come." Chen Jiangtao called his son to go back to arrange.

"Well, then the next problem and the problem of industrial production, this problem will be told by Xu Hui." Liu Yiming looked at Xu Hui.

"In terms of industrial production, we took over the shipyard, three mechanical workshops, several processing plants, and chemical equipment, machinery equipment, steelmaking equipment, etc. transported from Singapore. You can start production soon, because now we are facing the threat of the Dutch, and the industrial production is mainly tilted to the military industry. "Xu Hui said nervously.

"It is expected that within one month, the production of two bullet production lines can be completed, the designed Nissan bullet is 40,000 rounds, the shell can complete the experimental production within one month, and complete the industrial production within two months. The current design is the total five types of gun shells in Nissan. Hundreds, chemical plants can now be 800 kilograms of bitter sour yellow explosives, as well as a large number of by -products. The equipment has not been installed. After completion, it can be daily three tons of explosives. The design of the steel plant is 20,000 tons, and the steelmaking furnace is being installed, which can be officially put into production within two weeks. "

"At present, there are big problems in our industrial production. Each factory is lacking in hand. Not only researchers, managers, workers, are urgent. If you want to complete this output, you are expected to increase more than 5,000 people."
