1890 King of Southeast Asia

In Liu Wanhua's room, Liu Wanhua faced Liu Yiming back and sighed: "Young people, energetic, I can understand, but Zhang Pan is different. She is your fiancee. You are not here, you have to avoid suspicion."

"Know Dad!" Liu Yiming said. "But I don't change." I thought silently.

"What's the matter with me?" Liu Yiming pulled the topic.

"Oh! I just want to ask the current form. You are looking forward to Uncle Chen, when you come back, what kind of model is the front line?" Liu Wanhua remembered his main purpose.

"This battle, big victory!" Liu Yiming said, "This time, the Dutch could not turn over for a short time, but we could not take Badavia."

"What do you mean?" Liu Wanhua didn't understand.

"The Dutch still has thousands of troops in Sumatra, all of which are European mercenaries. In addition, there are many servants. "" "Liu Yiming said," But there is no way, I just want to be less casualties, I have a plan, but I can't say it, it's not spiritual! "

Liu Yiming intends to use the Dutch and the vast Dutch East India as a bargaining chip through a political game and negotiate with the Dutch.

"That ..." Liu Wanhua just said, and Liu Yiming knew what he was going to say.

"Java's situation is not afraid, there will be no large -scale war at present. I plan to expand the army. The first batch of expansion of troops is 10,000. First, I trained with the seized weapons and waited for the next stage of battle." Liu Yiming said.

"Do you want to fight?" Liu Wanhua blurted out.

"How about Java is only one island, but this island is particularly rich, and the Dutch will not give up." Liu Yiming said, "No need to fight. At that time, he would send the island to be blind!"

Liu Wanhua said silently, "What should I do? The warship is floating on the sea, we can’t be enough!"

"It's okay, I have a plan for the Navy, and the Dutch is not so fast!" Liu Yiming said.

"Okay, you can count it, I get old, just help you see your house." Liu Wanhua said.

"Then I'm back?" Liu Yiming said.

"Wait, I will not oppose the troops, and no one is opposed, but now I can't get it out?" Liu Wanhua asked.

There are only less than 3 million Chinese in Java, including part of the mixed race, and some will stand opposite South China because South China has driven the Dutch, which is equivalent to moving their rice bowl.

At present, South China is far from controlling this land. To be precise, controlling this island requires at least 100,000 Army, 100,000 militia, and 100,000 armed policemen. , Coastal Force. Although there are also militias and police officers, it is enough to maintain order at that time.

"I'm going to immigrate." Liu Yiming did not conceal, he decided long ago.

To support an industrial country, the most basic requirement is the population. From the beginning of the First World War, there are at least 20 to 30 million people who can be called a strong country.

With the population, only the ability to support industrial production, provide the product market, and have the population to promote industrial progress, then there is a source of troops, and there is a confidence that supports a large country.

"From China?" Liu Wanhua asked, "Why bother so troublesome?"

"The population is the foundation, otherwise the Dutch will come next time, we will have to be soldiers!" Liu Yiming said.

As a result of the conversation, Liu Wanhua held some support attitudes. This is also the attitude of most of Java. Their minds were still before, which is why Liu Yiming was determined to replace them.

..............

The next day, Liu Yiming received a reply from Charles. The Governor of India had authorized him to be a special envoy. He came to Java and talked. At the same time, the news had been sent to the UK. After the old man had time, he would answer.

Liu Yiming began to be busy again. The next battle at least three years will be dragged in order to initially establish a navy that can be deterrent.

The first is industrial construction. Now the Surabaya plant has been built in half, the equipment is gradually installed, and the steel industry and the military industry are developing the fastest. During this time, almost all Surabaya people are carried out activities around the two industries.

Liu Yiming opened the laptop and wrote and painted on it. Half of the top is the steel industry, power industry, coal industry, shipbuilding industry, chemical industry and other heavy industries.

The following half is textile, printing and dyeing, food processing, small chemical products, etc., and other light industries, in addition, there are drugs, medical devices, and other options.

The above half of the investment is large, and the results are slow, but the essential industry is the high profit and fast results, but the industry built on the heavy industry.

After hooking and drawing, in the future, Surabaya will still be used as the industrial center. Here are safe, convenient in transportation, and rich nearby resources. Liu Yiming intends to put ships, steel, and power centers here. Food Processing Center.

Printing and dyeing, textiles, and preparing to find a more suitable place to build factories. These two are high pollution and large scale, suitable for being placed with chemical industry for easy management.

Write painting, two days passed.

On the 3rd of December, Liu Yiming quietly came to the dock. The dock had restored the normal state. Not only that, those businessmen who pursued profits had begun shipping. When Liu Yiming arrived, several ships rely on Hong Kong at the same time. One American ship, two plaster flags, and the rest are the sun, moon and star flag.

"Charles!" Liu Yiming greeted Charles in a low-key manner with a warm look.

"Hey! Don't mention it, you look better in a suit than in a uniform." Liu Yiming laughed.

"Oh? This is tailored by the tailor at home. If you like it, I will give you two sets next time." Charles also said with a smile.

"Let's go, it's not convenient to talk here." Liu Yiming looked at the people coming and going on the dock and took Charles to the carriage.

In Liu Yiming's office in Sishui City Hall, Liu Yiming and Charles sat on the sofa opposite each other, and Charles kept smoking a cigar.

"To be honest, I never thought you could do this." Charles was amazed at first.

"I didn't expect it either, but the world is so wonderful, isn't it? I just want to protect my family." Liu Yiming said undeniably.

"Can you tell me about the current situation?" Charles said.

"Of course!" Liu Yiming processed the situation artistically and told Charles with his pick and choose.

"What do you plan to do with Batavia? It's a beautiful city." Charles waited for Liu Yiming to finish speaking and asked casually.

"Not only that, it is also the largest city in Java. If possible, I certainly hope to resolve the Batavia issue peacefully, rather than using violence." Liu Yiming said.

"I can act as a middleman to mediate the relationship between you and the Dutch. East Java and Central Java belong to Nanhua, and West Java belongs to the Dutch. The condition is that Nanhua hires British Empire instructors to train the navy and army." Charles said bluntly.

"Oh! Charles, I almost forgot that I have a gift for you." Liu Yiming pretended not to hear and stood up to take out a bottle of wine.

"Remember the first time we drank? This bottle of wine is produced by the same winery, but this bottle of wine is of higher quality!" Liu Yiming handed it to Charles.

"Really not considering it?" Charles did not look at the bottle of wine.

"Charles, in this situation, we can't leave the threat on Java Island. As for military training, I think we can talk about the navy." Liu Yiming put away his smile

"Let's not talk about this first, Charles, I'll take you to see something." Liu Yiming said.

Still in the training ground, a Type 90 300mm rocket, a conventional high-explosive version, has been quietly waiting for the launch command.

"Oh my God, I have to reconsider the form of Java." Charles saw the huge rocket in front of him as soon as he entered the field, and thought to himself.

"Oh! My friend, is this the rocket you made?" Charles wanted to go forward to observe, but was stopped by the guards, and turned to ask Liu Yiming.

Liu Yiming waved his hand, the guards made way, and Liu Yiming took Charles forward to observe the rocket.

It is normal for Charles to know rockets. Rockets have a long history. Even the current British Navy is equipped with rockets for attacking the other side, but the performance has always been poor, so it is not taken seriously.

"Yes, everything you see, from steel to explosives and fuses, is produced in Surabaya. In fact, I have already produced fifty." Liu Yiming saw

Charles hesitated for a moment, then said: "Is this what you showed me? The Royal Navy also has it, but it is not so big, and the accuracy of this thing is worrying."

"We have quietly made some improvements, and the dispersion over five kilometers can be kept within 100 meters of the target. This is not what I want to show you." Liu Yiming said.

"Let's go to the stands." The so-called stands are bunkers that are sealed by layers of fortifications and only leave an observation port.

"I want to show the new weapon. After all, it will be used to attack Batavia soon. Of course, if possible, I also hope to reduce casualties." Liu Yiming said to Charles with a smile.

"Because I need to demonstrate, I set the target 300 meters in front of us, where there are complete fortifications, to test the degree of damage."

In fact, it is not that simple. Liu Yiming also reduced the propellant and counterweight, and used all the free space to load dana explosives and picric acid to ensure strong power. The price is that the theoretical range of this rocket is only 800 meters. For safety reasons, Liu Yiming only set the shooting distance to 500 meters.

"This rocket has a range of 8 kilometers and is loaded with 400 kilograms of explosives. It is amazingly powerful!" Liu Yiming said.

Charles could not deny: "Then let me see what power the weapon you expect is."

Charles did not even think that the rocket could hit, and did not speak.
