Expedition to Europe

When the news of the signing of the Paris Agreement reached Borneo, Borneo was in an uproar.

It is estimated that even the people of the "Lan Fang Company" did not expect it to be so smooth, and the colonial authorities were even more unbelievable, and the local indigenous people were even more at a loss.

Whether it is unbelievable or at a loss, they must accept the fact that the Dutch colonial government will not be generally recognized internationally from now on.

The consciousness of the colonial government immediately began to split.

Some Chinese who originally served as "Kapitan" and stood on the side of the Dutch at the beginning of the war began to seek contact with the "Lan Fang Company". The "Lan Fang Company" certainly accepted it, but whether it would settle accounts later was another matter, unless it could show enough sincerity.

More Dutch people began to consider withdrawing to Europe. For them, Borneo is no longer a paradise for adventurers. When the Dutch lost their superior status in legal terms, even if the "Lan Fang Company" gave the Dutch an equal competitive status, the Dutch would not have any advantage at all.

Hundreds of years of being high and mighty have weakened the Dutch's competitiveness to the extreme. They have become accustomed to using simple and crude means to plunder the wealth of the Chinese. The adventurous spirit and hard work of their ancestors have been thrown away completely.

The colonial army collapsed almost overnight. Anyone can see that the Dutch are at the end of their rope. If they do not consider surrendering to the "Lan Fang Company", then they must consider moving to British Malaya, Australian Papua and other places.

For immigrants from Borneo, Malays and Australians simply open their arms to accept them. At this time, the population has not reached the stage of big explosion. The awareness that population is wealth is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, so Malays and Australians do not refuse immigration, the more the better.

In this regard, the "Lan Fang Company" does not stop it. All ethnic groups in the world need fresh blood, only the Chinese do not need it. The Chinese population base is large enough. If fresh blood is needed, just immigrate from the Republic of China, as many as you want.

In order to facilitate the migration of the indigenous people, the various troops under the "Lan Fang Company" slowed down their pace and gave the local indigenous people enough time to move.

At the same time, various rumors about how cruel the "Lan Fang Company" was and how miserable the people under the "Lan Fang Company" were spreading rapidly, almost to the point where everyone knew it, so more indigenous people from Sumatra, Guinea Island, and Kalimantan joined the migration army.

Especially in Sumatra, more than half of the indigenous people here moved to Malaysia and Singapore within ten days. Among those who stayed, except for those who were indifferent to current affairs, those who really couldn't leave their homeland. They had already resigned themselves to fate. If the "Lan Fang Company" was really as cruel as the rumors said, then even if they died, they would die in their hometown.

According to their experience with the Chinese, the Chinese race has never been cruel.

This situation is almost the same in Guinea and Kalimantan. The reason why Sumatra is special is that the troops of the "Lan Fang Company" have not even landed on Sumatra.

In Guinea and Kalimantan, the troops of the "Lan Fang Company" have already landed, and they are advancing with great momentum.

From early January to mid-February, almost within a month and a half, the seemingly stable Dutch colonial government that had been maintained for hundreds of years in Borneo collapsed. The "Lan Fang Company" occupied all the land in Borneo (called the Dutch East Indies by the Netherlands) and became the owner of this 1.9 million square kilometers of land.

At the end of February, the first Borneo National Congress was held in Surabaya, and the meeting reached several controversial consensuses.

First of all, from now on, the former Dutch East Indies, which the Chinese called Borneo, was officially renamed the "Lan Fang Grand Duchy" with Surabaya as its capital.

Secondly, the "Grand Duchy of Lan Fang" invited Qin Zhiyuan to serve as the King of Lan Fang, and at the same time established a legislative group to draft a constitution, and decided that all rights of the Grand Duchy of Lan Fang belonged to the cabinet. The leader of the cabinet was called the "Prime Minister", and the first Prime Minister was Huang Bohan.

Again...

There was no again. When the topic entered the second item, it immediately caused great controversy.

Those who raised objections were representatives of the Beiyang government and the Chinese "Kapitan" who defected to the Grand Duchy of Lan Fang after the signing of the Paris Agreement.

The representatives of the Beiyang government demanded that the Grand Duchy of Lan Fang should follow the lead of the Beiyang government, recognize the suzerain status of the Republic of China, and ask the Beiyang government to send personnel to manage the political affairs of the Grand Duchy of Lan Fang, and ask the Beiyang government to send troops to the Grand Duchy of Lan Fang, and the Beiyang government will be responsible for the military, diplomatic, administrative and other aspects of the Grand Duchy of Lan Fang.

How is this possible!

Huang Bohan directly hit back with one sentence: We do not trust the Beiyang government's ability to govern!

There is really no trust. Just look at the Republic of China, which has become a mess, and the governing ability of the Beiyang government can be seen.

Moreover, during the "rebellion" of the Lan Fang Company, the Beiyang government had almost no substantial support for the Lan Fang Company. Even in the initial stage of the Lan Fang Company's rebellion, the representatives of the Beiyang government were more inclined to the Dutch colonial government, which made the new Lan Fang Grand Duchy dignitaries intolerable to the Beiyang government.

Let alone "follow the lead of the Beiyang government", the fact that the representatives of the Beiyang government were allowed to attend the meeting was already a consideration of the same roots and race.

As for those Chinese "Kapitans" who joined the Lan Fang Grand Duchy after the signing of the Paris Agreement, they are a group of people who do not know the current situation. They do not know how to reflect now, but instead put forward political demands. This is not knowing how to live or die.

They are indeed ignorant of the current situation. If they knew the current situation, they would not have followed the colonial government when the "Lan Fang Company" just started the uprising. Not to mention advancing and retreating with the "Lan Fang Company", at least they should have maintained a neutral and wait-and-see attitude.

Look at the representatives from Lion City (Singapore). Although they did not directly participate in the uprising of the "Lan Fang Company", they never lag behind in donating money and materials, and voiced their support for the "Lan Fang Company" through various channels. Although the "Lan Fang Company" has now transformed into the Lan Fang Grand Duchy, the representatives from Lion City did not take credit for themselves. They did not express any opinions on the specific affairs of the Lan Fang Grand Duchy, but just quietly played the role of "spectators". This is the way of dealing with people for smart people.

So the vigorous liquidation began immediately. The objects of liquidation were not only the indigenous people and Chinese "Kapitan" who had oppressed the Chinese in the previous colonial era, but also the Dutch who had retreated. As long as they had Chinese blood on their hands in the Grand Duchy of Lan Fang before, even if they were absent, the newly established Supreme Court would announce the verdict.

At this time, the verdict did not need to be very precise. It was the best way to vent the anger that had accumulated for hundreds of years in the hearts of the Chinese as soon as possible, and then focus on developing themselves.

But the grievances and anger that had accumulated for hundreds of years could not be vented by sentencing hundreds of death sentences. Some extreme Chinese turned their attention to the indigenous residents who did not have time to escape, as well as the descendants of the Dutch.

In the following week, there were several or hundreds of attacks on the indigenous people by the Chinese in the Grand Duchy of Lan Fang. No one knew the exact number because the Lan Fang authorities destroyed all official data. There was no so-called "confidentiality period" at all, and there was no way to check it.

What is certain is that the attacks on the aborigines involved all regions of the Grand Duchy of Lan Fang, because just one week later, the Grand Duchy of Lan Fang declared a state of emergency again (this state had been lifted half a month ago), and urgently promulgated the "Public Security Management Regulations", which protected the aborigines of the Grand Duchy of Lan Fang to a certain extent.

Immediately, dozens of working groups rushed to all parts of the country to prohibit attacks on aborigines from happening again.

The original text is in the six # 9 @book/bar!

But it was too late at this time. In the population census at the end of February, there were 3.7 million people in the Grand Duchy of Lan Fang, and the local aborigines were less than 300,000, becoming a standard minority.

In the following six months, the aborigines who had fled to the mountains and forests due to the war returned to their homes one after another, but the number of local aborigines never exceeded 500,000. In the increasing wave of Chinese immigrants, the aborigines were completely marginalized and never formed any large-scale forces.

The population census at the end of February included new immigrants from Malaya and the southeastern provinces of the Republic of China, as well as the local Chinese in Lan Fang.

It was not until then that the leaders of the Grand Duchy of Lanfang knew that there were more than 1.5 million Chinese living on this land of the Grand Duchy of Lanfang before, and a considerable number of them were unregistered. More descendants of Chinese and locals did not dare to reveal their identities during the colonial period and were classified as locals.

Now the situation is completely different. As long as they have something to do with the Chinese, they will immediately recognize their Chinese identity. Even those pure locals, as long as they can speak a few words of Chinese, will be related to the Chinese no matter how roundabout it is. As a result, nearly one million locals with a quarter of Chinese ancestry, or an eighth, or even one-sixteenth or one-thirty-second Chinese ancestry have appeared. These people have also been accepted by the Grand Duchy of Lanfang and become part of the Grand Duchy of Lanfang.

Chinese finally became the only official language in the Grand Duchy of Lanfang. Although "Dutch" and "Javanese" were not banned, they no longer had any status. The text on newspapers was in Chinese, the decrees issued by government departments were in Chinese, and school education was in Chinese...

If you are not proficient in Chinese, you cannot get any position in the Grand Duchy of Lanfang. Even the salespersons in the store will pretend not to understand Dutch and Javanese and refuse to trade. Although there is no explicit regulation against Dutch and Javanese, they can be seen everywhere and no longer need to be emphasized.

Because of Qin Zhiyuan's "French attributes", the status of French in the Grand Duchy of Lanfang has risen. One reason for this is that Qin Zhiyuan is also French, and more importantly, the members of the "Umbrella" company who have returned to the Grand Duchy of Lanfang can speak a few words of French.

Yes, as soon as the Grand Duchy of Lanfang was established, the "Umbrella" company announced its return to the Grand Duchy of Lanfang. The ambassadors of Britain, France, the United States and other countries who arrived in the Grand Duchy of Lanfang with the "Umbrella" company were stationed in the Grand Duchy of Lanfang.

From this reaction speed, we can see the attitude of countries around the world towards the Grand Duchy of Lanfang. They are almost eager to announce their recognition of the Grand Duchy of Lanfang and seek to establish diplomatic relations with the Grand Duchy of Lanfang at the ambassadorial level.

Even the imprisoned Crown Prince William is calling on Germany and the Grand Duchy of Lanfang to establish relations as soon as possible.

Yes, although the Republic of China represented by Qin Zhiyuan is at war with France and Germany, the Grand Duchy of Lanfang has not declared war on Germany.

This is really messy!

Qin Zhiyuan, who has already acquired French nationality and also holds the nationality of the Republic of China, was invited to serve as the king of the Grand Duchy of Lanfang, which did not cause any waves in Europe.

Europe has this tradition. If there is no one whose prestige can be universally recognized in the country, then someone from other countries will be invited to serve as the king of the country.

This situation has occurred in the United Kingdom, Russia, Spain, Portugal, Sweden, etc.
