Chapter 295 The Movie King of Batavia (Second update, please subscribe)
Plans are never static. Even the most perfect plan must change at any time according to changes in the situation.
This change was precisely because of the change in the situation in Batavia, which prevented Li Yian from temporarily adjusting his plan.
It was midnight on the day Japan surrendered.
Looking through the information in front of him, Li Yian asked.
"Has the commando set off?"
"It set off an hour ago."
Xu Wenzhi replied quickly.
"Well..."
Nodding slightly, Li Yian said.
"Sometimes, things are always beyond our expectations, and they are not slow to take action!"
The reason why Li Yian said this is because the Secret Intelligence Service obtained the information from Batavia According to a piece of information, before Japan announced its surrender, the Japanese-supported Independence Preparation Investigation Committee began to prepare for independence. They were more prepared than in history.
After Japan announced its surrender, the committee held a meeting to discuss independence. They decided to declare independence tomorrow morning.
Actually, Li Yian does not object to them doing this, but they cannot be in Batavia. The reason is very simple. Batavia is the capital!
Representing the entire Dutch East Indies.
And what Li Yian hopes to see is a divided Java!
Only in this way can he profit from it.
“Has the telegram to Japan been sent?”
“Yes, in the name of the Allied Forces Command, power generation has been sent to request Java, Sulawesi, and the Moluccas. The Japanese army in the islands and West Irian surrendered to our army."
After a pause, Xu Wenzhi said.
"But Itagaki hasn't called back yet."
The Itagaki he spoke of was Seishiro Itagaki. Yes, he was the one that the Chinese people were very familiar with. He was the commander of the Japanese 7th Front and commanded Japanese operations in Malaysia and the Dutch East Indies. .
“He will agree!”
Li Yian said without raising his head.
The Ban Heng people may be very familiar with it, but what they are not familiar with is that after Ban Heng surrendered to the British army in Singapore, he knew that he would be treated as a war criminal and did not have any bushido ideas. It was to escape to South America.
So he bribed Smith, the new commander of the British army, with platinum, gold and natural diamonds worth US$300,000. As a result, General Smith pretended to accept the gift, and at the same time ordered to step up surveillance of Itagaki Seishiro.
Such a life-loving guy will definitely order the Japanese troops in these areas to surrender to Borneo in order to survive, because he needs chaos and even disputes between the Allied forces. Only in this case will he There is a chance to escape.
At this time, people often grasp at the last straw.
For Itagaki, the surrender conflict between the Allied forces was an opportunity for him to escape. It's a pity that he thought too beautifully.
Not to mention that the route from Singapore to South America has not yet been restored, this man has been included in the list of war criminals, how could he be let go?
It's simply wishful thinking.
"The only problem is..."
Li Yian said with a slight smile.
"How far can this guy Sugaru act?"
After that, he smiled coldly.
"Since he wants to be the actor, let him be one!"
......
Batavia.
The Japanese soldiers who used to be on the streets disappeared. After hearing the "Emperor's Voice", those Japanese soldiers were all mourning for their heirs, wailing in despair.
Didn’t I ask for 100 million pieces of jade? "I am about to fight to the death, why does Your Majesty surrender first?"
While the Japanese soldiers were sad about their defeat, one emotion filled the sky over Batavia - independence, independence!
That afternoon, at the meeting of the preparatory committee, the issue of independence was discussed and a consensus was reached. After the meeting, Sukaro was "kidnapped and driven" by a group of radical Javanese Indonesian youths as soon as he returned home. ", forcing him to declare Indonesian independence.
Facing the excited young people, Sukaruo flatly refused.
“Now is not the time for independence. This requires a process. We can’t do this now!”
Sukaruo then sternly explained to those young people why the announcement could not be made immediately, and analyzed the stakes involved, such as allies, allies, the Netherlands, and even the Japanese.
But people didn’t listen to him at all, the leading young man said.
"Mr. Sukaro, we ask you to think carefully about our suggestions. If you do not agree, then we will announce the news that you have agreed through the newspapers tomorrow."
Subsequently, Sugaruo was placed under house arrest in the study.
Almost as soon as the door closed, Sugaruo said.
"Okay, now it's finally my turn to make the decision!"
After that, he took out his cigarette, pulled out a cigarette, handed it to his assistant, and then said.
"You did a good job in this matter. Hada and the others said that my reputation for cooperating with the Japanese was not conducive to the future independence of the country, so they thought I should abdicate and make way for others. Damn it, they didn't accept the Japanese. Was he given an official position?”
During the Japanese occupation, Sukaro held six positions assigned to him by the Japanese: Advisor to the Japanese Military and Political Supervision Department, President of the Federation of Popular Power, and Chairman of the Central Senate , Chairman of the Javanese Assembly, member of the Independent Preparatory Investigation Committee and Chairman of the Independent Preparatory Committee.
Obviously, he has always been the top agent of the Japanese occupying forces in Indonesia.
How glorious it once was, how melancholy it is now. Now Hada and others are taking advantage of this to try to deprive him of the opportunity to preside over the government. How could Sugaru accept it? So after the meeting broke up on bad terms, he planned this "kidnapping".
"The Chinese method is still very effective. Tomorrow, after your Excellency declares independence, neither Hada nor anyone else will be able to say anything. After all, you are forced to do this!"
As soon as the assistant finished speaking, Sugaruo laughed loudly.
“This is how China’s Li Yuanhong was “dressed in yellow robes” and then “forced up the mountain.” As long as we create a fait accompli, Hada and the others will not be able to influence the overall situation!”
Hardly. After taking a puff of the cigarette, Sukaruo thought to himself as he thought of Hada and the others' forced labor. After all the problems are dealt with, these damn guys must be cleared away. What do they think they are?
Without the support of the Japanese, they are nothing!
“However, Mr. Nishimura, should you send someone to contact him to see his attitude?”
Nishimura is the director of the General Affairs Department of the Japanese military government. This group of puppets The real master behind the scenes, his attitude directly determines everything.
"Your Excellency Nishimura will definitely support us, and I have discussed with Nishimura before that at special moments, he does not oppose us, but he will not support us, that is to say, he will acquiesce to our actions . ”
In fact, even fools now know that since Japan has surrendered, it is meaningless whether they support local independence or not. The current acquiescence is completely acquiescence.
"Their purpose is just to cause trouble for the Dutch!"
Sugaruo continued.
“Now, all I need to do is let Hada and the others know that I was also helpless. It was the people who chose me, they forced me and pushed me to the forefront...”
A qualified politician must first be a qualified actor. Sugaruo was naturally very clear about this. He needed this performance to show the outside world that he was forced to do it reluctantly.
Of course, this will also allow him to become the president of the country. This is the goal that he has been striving for for so many years.
Seeing that his goal was about to be achieved, how could he allow others to take away his opportunity?
So he had to be the first to issue the Declaration of Independence in his own home. You must create a life experience for yourself. Only in this way can you break the thoughts of those people.
Everyone serves the Japanese, why should I become a stain on myself?
While sneering, Sugaruo said again.
“Well, tomorrow is tomorrow, and tomorrow our country will be born.”
