Chapter 1262: encourage

Chapter 1262 Encourage

Freer's remarks were naturally prompted by Ernst. East Africa does not want a regional superpower like Indonesia in its previous life to appear in the Southeast Asia region in the future.

In the previous life, Indonesia had a land area of nearly two million and a population of nearly 300 million. It controlled or affected many important straits and routes in the world, including the Strait of Malacca, and had almost no shortcomings in resources, such as oil, coal, and iron ore. , copper ore, bauxite, etc. are all available and have abundant reserves.

If such a country with the potential to become a great power emerges, it will be very detrimental to East Africa's future control of the Southeast Asia region.

Although East Africa cut off the former Indonesian land on the island of Kalimantan, this was obviously not safe, so Freer proposed to Prime Minister Kuyper to separate both sides of the Sunda Strait from the East Indies colonies.

Friel said: "Your country can set up a special zone in the Sunda Strait and return local financial, military and other powers to the Dutch government."

"We in East Africa are also happy for your country to strengthen its divided rule over the East Indies, but we are not optimistic about the current series of Dutch colonial policies in the East Indies."

“The construction of the Sunda Strait Special Economic Zone is a good opportunity. Taking advantage of the fact that both sides of the strait are not yet developed, if your country separates this area from the East Indies Colony, there will not be much resistance from the local people. "

"At the same time, foreign populations such as the Far Eastern Empire, Siamese, and Vietnamese were introduced to completely isolate this place from the Arab population that is widely distributed in the East Indies..."

Prime Minister Kuyper listened carefully to Freer's series of suggestions.

After all, for Prime Minister Kuyper, although the colonial history of East Africa is short, his capabilities are absolutely outstanding, otherwise it would not be possible to become one of the few colonial powers in the world in just a few decades.

Although the value of East Africa's overseas colonies is not high, such a large area also shows that East Africa has some unique secrets.

Freer continued: "I think you should have noticed that since the end of the last century, there has been an awakening of national consciousness in backward regions and countries around the world."

"The consciousness of independence in these areas is awakening and erupting. Unless extreme measures are taken, this situation will only get worse. The East Indies are too far away from your country, so it is better for your country to make plans early."

"At present, major European countries are busy with wars, which in turn provides an opportunity for the Netherlands to reorganize its colonies in the East Indies, which also means that external interference factors are greatly reduced."

"And we in East Africa do not want a strong regional regime to rise in the Southeast Asia region, so we hope that the Netherlands can complete the reorganization of the East Indies during this period."

Prime Minister Kuyper was not disgusted by Freer's blunt words. After all, a unified East Indies was not what he wanted to see.

He said: "Actually, our government has similar ideas, but it is not easy to implement. The situation in the East Indies is too complicated, and our country's strength is not as strong as yours. It is also difficult to forcefully promote various policies there."

Freer disagreed with Kuyper's view. He said: "We all know the history of the East Indies colonies. Originally, this area was forcibly integrated by colonial activities."

"You must know that before your country colonized the East Indies, the entire East Indies was not monolithic. Instead, there were many countries."

"But your colonial activities have actually promoted the integration of various local ethnic groups, such as a unified army, unified administrative agencies, and unified laws..."

"Although these facilitated your country's rule in the Dutch East Indies, they also laid the foundation for future troubles. In such islands as the East Indies, the concept of a unified nation, Indonesians, even emerged."

Kuyper's face turned ugly as Freer criticized him.

"Your Excellency Friel, it seems that a series of policies of our Dutch government led the people of the East Indies to collude. But as far as I know, the policies implemented by your country's colonies should be similar to ours. !" Freer did not deny it. He said to Prime Minister Kuyper: "That's true, but our positioning of overseas colonies in East Africa is completely different from your country."

"We treat the people in overseas colonies as our own people and can give them corresponding respect. But can your country not have this kind of prejudice against Indonesians and mix with such a large number of infidels?"

Kuyper asked with a strange expression: "You don't know what you are doing in East Kalimantan, right? Not only East Kalimantan, your country's Lanfang Overseas Province, Mindanao, your series of policies, We know everything."

Then, he lowered his voice and turned sideways and said to Freer: "Does that kind of simple and crude massacre treat the locals as equals?"

No one knows what East Africa is like better than the Dutch, especially what East Africa does in the Southeast Asia region, which is a planned "genocide" activity.

That is to say, East Africa is a world power, so generally no country dares to directly stand up and accuse East Africa.

Therefore, what Freer said about "our own people" seemed extremely ironic to Prime Minister Kuyper. If the large-scale massacre of indigenous people can be considered "our own people", then the Indonesians and the Dutch under Dutch rule are simply "relatives." .

After all, the Dutch did not engage in genocide in the East Indies as openly as they did in East Africa.

Freer said without changing his face: "What we call our own naturally does not include those diehards and pagans, but the new immigrants who are willing to coexist peacefully with East Africa."

"These new immigrants are composed of a population that is willing to accept Germanization and receive a full set of German education. In the future, there will be almost no difference between them and the East African people."

"And your country is still not decisive enough in the East Indies. If I were you, it would either actively suppress the indigenous and religious forces and promote its own culture, or simply make it impossible for them to become a country. In the end, even if they become independent, they will not be harmful to the mother country. constitute a threat."

"A large area of islands in the East Indies is beneficial to your country's operations, but you have forcibly integrated them into a whole. This is tantamount to digging your own grave."

"So unlike us in East Africa, your country should implement a colonial strategy in the colonies that is completely different from ours in East Africa, so that you can continue your country's local colonial activities."

"Especially by dividing some special local areas to ensure that even after the East Indies become independent, more interests can be retained."

Freer made no secret of East Africa's "crime" and was not ashamed of it, and in turn persuaded Prime Minister Kuyper.

This made Prime Minister Kuyper greatly admire the East Africans' shamelessness, but Freer's words also gave Kuyper a great inspiration.

Today, European countries are busy with wars, and East Africa supports the Netherlands in carrying out some extreme measures in the East Indies to split up the East Indies. This is indeed an opportunity for the Netherlands.

And Kuyper was not worried about East Africa's ulterior motives, or even if the East Africans really harbored evil intentions, the Netherlands would not be able to stop any actions in East Africa.

After all, if East Africa really wanted to take over the entire East Indies, it would be easy. If the East Africans really planned to do this, the Dutch East Indies colony would have changed its flag long ago.

Therefore, Prime Minister Kuyper does not think that East Africa has any intention to attack the Dutch East Indies. At least at this stage, East Africa definitely has no such intention.

So Prime Minister Kuyper thought for a moment and then said to Freer: "I will seriously consider your suggestion. After some time, our two governments will find an opportunity to discuss it in detail."
