spn "Crack crackle...
September 19th, the half day of Hanzhong Island.
Chairman of the Supreme Committee of the People's Democratic Republic of China Zhang Shusheng sent his special envoy, Vice Minister of Foreign Affairs Zhou Guolai, to Hanzhong Island with the No. 1 Supreme Administrative Order issued by the Supreme Committee.
In Hanzhong Town, Hanzhong Island, Vice Minister Zhou Guolai, who is in charge of the Asian Affairs Department and the Chinese Affairs Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, "met some highly respected local Chinese representatives," especially Mr. Zhang Chaozhong, an elder of the Zhang family. During the meeting between the two, Zhou Guolai conveyed

, Hanzhong Island public opinion representative Zhang Chaozhong is heading towards special
Envoy Zhou Guolai submitted the democratic voting results. After reviewing the public opinion vote, and with the notarization of a German deputy envoy to China and an American counselor in China, Zhou Guolai announced that the voting results were valid and invited the country via telegram.
Announced the establishment of the People's Republic of China from now on
The Hanzhong Provincial Government of the Main Republic of China, Liu Shaoqi will serve as the first governor of Hanzhong Province, Zhang Minshan will serve as the deputy governor of Hanzhong Province, and Xu Geng, the former commander of the People's Army Garrison Division, will serve as the Hanzhong Garrison Commander. After the two-month preparatory establishment period, Hanzhong Island
It will be officially included in the territory of the new China.
At the same time, hundreds of islands and reefs in the entire South China Sea, large and small, will also be included in the territory of the new "China" along with Hanzhong Island. A new version of the "China" map will be issued nationwide from the end of September.
Look, the entire South China Sea will merge into a huge egg shape, located at the bottom of the rooster diagram, extending all the way to the hinterland of Nanyang not far from the Strait of Malacca.[
The new "government" also responded to the Dutch's request for negotiations." After Zhou Guolai presided over the founding ceremony of Hanzhong Province, he boarded the ship, escorted by a heavy cruiser and a destroyer,
Headed to Jakarta, Indonesia, to negotiate with the Dutch, the de facto masters of the Dutch East Indies.
"Oh God" look, "that's the [Chinese] fleet!!"
The news that the "Chinese" people had occupied Hanzhong Island had already spread. When the warship Zhou Guolai was riding entered the port of Jakarta, it immediately attracted a crowd of citizens.
Many white-skinned foreigners, with their "ladies" standing on the beach with complicated expressions, pointed at the approaching "Chinese" warship.
"Damn the Orientals, compared with their warships, the Dutch cruisers should be treated as scrap metal and refurbished."
This is the view of many Westerners. In addition to a few merchant ships, the entire Jakarta Port contains Dutch and Chinese warships. The Dutch have a lot of warships, seven or eight large and small, but they are all old.
For example, the only new warship is just a destroyer.
Looking at the "Chinese" warships again, they are almost brand new, with simple warship superstructures, majestic streamlined designs, and sailors standing on the deck, holding their heads high, as energetic as victors.
It is not comparable to the Dutch warships next to it.
"Damn Dutch, one of the former maritime overlords, has now fallen to this point. [Chinese] warships" "Huh, they just look better and newer" except for the two main guns.
A few naval guns." A self-righteous Spaniard sneered.
"But they have terrifying anti-aircraft guns. I bet that unless a squadron of aircraft launches an attack on it, it will be shot down by its dense anti-aircraft fire." Chinese people, they may no longer be able to
We need naval guns." A British man in civilian clothes, but looking and acting like a sailor, said.
What people don’t know is that “this British sailor once had dealings with [Chinese] people.” After being captured, he retired from the Far East Fleet and joined a shipping company. He could only sneer at the views of these ordinary people. After all,
No one who has ever been a sailor or fought with Chinese people can understand that feeling.
Even if you have countless main guns and secondary guns, the Chinese aircraft carrier fleet will not give you a chance to fire because "they always use their damn planes to bomb you."
The sailor looked at the horizon in the distance. The Chinese warships lacking main guns came to Nanyang, and maybe their aircraft carrier fleet also came. Of course, it was none of his business. He was no longer a damn sailor.
Instead, he was an employee of the steamship company who could often dock and find a few "prostitutes" to vent his anger.
"Compared with these damn foreigners," the Chinese were extremely happy.
"Look, that's our warship! What a huge warship, much stronger than the Dutch." A worker carrying a sack slightly leaned the sack against the slope and happily pointed at the warship entering the port.
Tell your co-workers.
"It turns out that we [Chinese] people can also afford to drive such a big warship." A small vendor straightened his waist unconsciously while flipping the fried dough sticks in the pot.
"Damn the [Chinese] people, damn the navy."
Von Babette, the governor of the Dutch East Indies Colony, first cursed fiercely, then put on a gentle smile and stood on the red carpet at the port with the most gentlemanly expression, preparing to welcome this negotiation from the new [China] country.
represent.
The port's red carpet stretches from the port authority to the harbor, but a muddy road is left behind.
"As soon as China's two warships docked, they were warmly welcomed by the Chinese people. The Chinese people who came all the way, blocked by the Dutch military police, stood in the distance of the port waving flags and cheering for those who came from the motherland.
Messenger from the mainland.
"Welcome! Welcome Vice Minister Zhou Guolai..."[
Although they were far apart, they still roared and shouted with their loudest voices, as if only the loudest voices could express their enthusiasm for this motherland.
Of course, they also hope that maybe if their voices are louder, the messenger can hear them, and then "he may hear our voices and seek some benefits for our survival."
"One day, you will no longer have such eager expectations, because the motherland will provide you with everything you need." Zhou Guolai stood on the deck. "There are thousands of thoughts in his heart. The eager expectations of the Chinese people just show that they
They need the support and help of the motherland, and they need themselves.
As soon as he got off the boat, Zhou Guolai frowned slightly. He saw that from the place where he got off the boat to the middle of the red carpet in the distance, there was a muddy road. It seemed that the Dutch had given him a blow.
I secretly thought of some tricks in my mind, and the foreigners seem to have a lot of evil intentions." This negotiation will not go as smoothly as I expected.
Zhou Guolai didn't think too much and refused the face boots offered by the staff next to him. Wearing a windbreaker-style taupe suit and leather shoes, Zhou Guolai stepped onto the muddy road with great momentum until he walked to the red carpet.
.
"I'm sorry, your feet are so dirty, you can't step on the red carpet."
At this time, a Dutch official standing on the left side of the red carpet shook his head and reached out to stop Zhou Guolai who was about to step on.
Zhou Guolai smiled, knowing that the other party was trying to embarrass him, but in such a situation, how could he lose his national body? Then he said in fluent Dutch: "My shoes were originally very clean, but I just stepped on the Dutch East Indies."
After Jakarta, it became extremely dirty."
When the Dutch official heard this, he was stunned. Then his face turned red, he bent slightly and made a gentleman's salute, "I'm sorry, Mr. Zhou, it's our job that we didn't do well. I hope you can understand. I'm sorry for what I just said."
I apologize for being rude."
Zhou Guolai smiled and waved, put on the spare shoes handed over by the staff, and then stepped onto the red carpet, "straightened his body" and walked towards the Dutch outside the port.
"Dear Mr. Zhou Guolai, welcome your visit. As the founder of friendship between the two countries, you will receive the most distinguished reception in Jakarta."
"Mr. von Babette, our two countries have a long history. I think this negotiation will also be very smooth." Zhou Guolai was quite decent when meeting this person. He did not embarrass himself like the little official just now, but he thought to himself.
, the two countries do have a long history, but you Dutch people were severely beaten by us in Taiwan back then.
Von Babette, the Governor-General of the Dutch East Indies, paid a diplomatic courtesy to Zhou Guolai. Zhou Guolai also shook hands with him and hugged him generously. The two talked happily and did not even need an interpreter.
In Jakarta, Zhou Guolai quickly met the Royal Envoy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, and the two sides conducted preliminary negotiations on the issues of Hanzhong Island and the Greater Natuna Islands.
During the negotiations, the Dutch Royal Envoy Speirs changed his previous delaying tactics and sternly demanded that the [China] country immediately return the Great Natuna Island. Otherwise, the enemy fleet of the Kingdom of the Netherlands will arrive in the Dutch East Indies in the near future.
Different from the special envoy's "colorful" inner feelings, "Zhou Guolai did not mention anything else, let alone quibble. He just insisted that this was the "free" choice of tens of thousands of people on Hanzhong Island. "This is the result of public opinion, and it is the result of passing through the island."
Passed by unanimous popular vote.
As for other residents on the island, Zhou Guolai said that the Dutch and Indonesians on the island were suspected of murdering Chinese overseas Chinese. In order to protect the overseas Chinese, China adopted the same methods as the West has always done to deal with these murderers.
"Collective detention was implemented" and the citizens of Hanzhong Island were waiting to form a citizen's court and conduct a public trial.
Dutch envoy Speirs stated that "Great Natuna Island is part of the Dutch East Indies." As a colony, it is also an inalienable and sacred part of the kingdom. China should allow the Dutch authorities to dispatch military and police to quell the riots.
Stop the massacre" instead of sending troops on our own.
Zhou Guolai said that the issue of overseas Chinese is not negotiable. There is an article in the constitution of the new China that the survival rights of overseas Chinese must not be infringed. Otherwise, "the People's Democratic Republic of China has the right to send troops on its own to maintain effective peace and protect those whose survival is threatened."
of Chinese.
The negotiations reached a deadlock. The Dutch hoped to return to the Greater Natuna Islands through negotiations. In exchange, they could punish the rioting executioners and remove Carlson from his post as colonial officer. They also threatened that if the problem was not resolved,
If the issue is resolved, the Kingdom of the Netherlands will not only send an enemy fleet to the Dutch East Indies, but will also report the matter to the League of Nations and apply for an international ruling.
Zhou Guolai stated that [China] has not joined the League of Nations, so the [Chinese] government will not recognize any possible ruling.[
However, he also revealed a piece of information that New China hopes to have more exchanges and cooperation with the fleet of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, because the main force of the East China Sea Fleet has already left the port and will arrive earlier than the Dutch fleet in two days.
Some arrive at South Bay Harbor on Grand Natuna Island.
After two days of negotiations, no substantial progress was achieved. At this time, shocking news came.
Chapter completed!
