Chapter 313 Emergency (Fourth update, please subscribe)
Torrent!
Thousands of people poured into the streets.
There were many Tang people standing on the roadside watching, and some people continued to join in. A torrent was gathering like this! gather on the street.
The police stood aside and looked at these people with smiles on their faces - these policemen were basically all from Tang Dynasty. Ten days ago, the Borneo troops stationed here as allied forces and drove away the preemptive control of the city. The Republican army, in the process of restoring the municipal government, fired those police officers who cooperated with the Japanese and re-established the local police. Like Batavia, the police were all Tang people.
This is also a policy implemented by Borneo in places where the Tang people live together, which is to allow the Tang people to have their own armed forces, and the police are the most basic armed force.
After all, only with guns in their hands can they truly protect themselves. Otherwise, whatever Borneo can do will be little more than an afterthought.
The police watched their compatriots pouring onto the main road, and they let out enthusiastic cheers like the people around them, which echoed over the city.
Scenes like this could often be seen before Japan occupied Southeast Asia. People in the Tang Dynasty used this method to raise funds for the domestic Anti-Japanese War and express their support for the Anti-Japanese War.
In short, people here should be used to it, and they must get used to it.
After all, according to the decree of the Dutch and Indian authorities, the Tang people enjoyed the same level of treatment as the Dutch. This treatment did not come for free. It was obtained through diplomatic pressure from Tangshan and the protests of the Tang people after the "Surabaya Incident" more than 30 years ago. of.
From that day on, the Tang people in Nanyang were treated truly equally.
And today, the Tang people gathered here again to make their voice heard!
On this day, not only Tang people appeared on the streets, but also Dutch and Indian indigenous people.
A week ago, when the Dutch and Indian authorities announced the "Treaty of Sandakan" and learned that Borneo was "ceded" to the North Borneo Company, the so-called government of the Republic of Java immediately stood up and accused This treaty was illegal and refused to recognize the "illegal treaty" signed by the colonial authorities.
After this news spread throughout Java, it certainly aroused people's dissatisfaction. Just when people opposed the treaty to cede Borneo, the news of the establishment of the Nanyang Republic made them all dumbfounded.
There are those who are envious, and there are those who are jealous.
But it’s more hate!
How come our republic fled in disgrace to the city of Yogyakarta in the interior - which is the new administrative center of the Republican Party.
But you can establish your own country, and even the Dutch and Indian authorities expressed congratulations!
In the past, the locals were already envious and jealous of the equal treatment enjoyed by the Tang people and the Dutch, and now they are even more jealous to the point of madness.
As a result, in order to express protest, under the call of the Republican Party, anti-rebellion activities against the cession of Borneo and the founding of Nanyang broke out in various cities. On this day, more than 100 people participated in Batavia alone. 100,000 people attended.
In Bandung, the main streets of the city are already crowded with people. While the Tang people celebrated enthusiastically on the avenue in their own way, at the other end of the street, tens of thousands of indigenous people gathered from nowhere, also holding white and red flags and banners symbolizing independence, appeared on the street.
There were also a large number of indigenous people gathered from all directions. Those indigenous people were holding wooden sticks and even sugar cane knives, and more people were holding stones.
The policemen following the parade saw this scene and immediately stood at the front of the parade. The leading Tang police officer shouted loudly in Javanese.
"Please end the illegal gathering immediately, otherwise the police will take corresponding actions!"
As the police officers shouted, the policemen holding rattan shields and batons stared at the indigenous people. Now, not only weapons are in their hands , the same power is also in their hands!
The natives stood there, looking at the Tang people gloomily.
There are still indigenous people coming from afar and gathering here. They obviously have leaders. He walked in front with a strip of white cloth tied on his forehead and playing with a stick. Some of them look quite strong, quite different from the skinny natives who are like monkeys.
Many of them were rural defense volunteers trained by the Japanese army. The reason why they came here was to teach the Tang people a lesson.
Tell them who is the master here! Who is the outsider?
The dancing of slogan flags stopped briefly. People standing at the front of the line looked at everything in front of them. The eyes of these indigenous people in front of me are full of hatred!
A strange roar rang out:
"Foreigners! Get out of Java!"
A chorus of patois echoed all around, overwhelming. There was a chorus of shouts.
Although people have never seen such a scene! But they responded immediately.
"Tang people are also locals who were born and raised here!"
The expression of anger and excitement made everyone's faces turn red.
But what do people get in exchange for their restraint?
Stones have been thrown. Stones like raindrops were thrown over.
The natives yelled in joy at the other side, and kept throwing stones at the police and the Tang people. Li Lei, who was among the crowd, was also beaten badly. Although his head was smashed, the young man's heart surged with passion and he shouted:
"Move forward, keep moving forward! Nothing can stop you." We can’t help us! We want them to know that we are also the masters of this land!”
The surroundings immediately burst into excitement, and the young people linked arms and continued to move forward, holding on to the stone. In front of them, police lined up to protect them.
Wiping the blood off his head, Li Lei and his classmates stood at the front of the team.
The natives were so stunned that they even stopped throwing stones. What appeared in their eyes was not a group of people, but a wall! Not a human wall, but the Great Wall!
It is the Great Wall built of flesh and blood!
In the past days, the people of the Tang Dynasty used the Great Wall built of flesh and blood to resist the Japanese invasion. Maybe the people who make up the Great Wall will be killed, but their spirit can never be killed.
Facing the Great Wall, the natives became a little cowed. They had witnessed how brave the Tang people were and how tenacious their will was in front of the Japanese army.
But the difference between today and the past is that they have been prepared for a long time. Upstairs on the side, Matsumoto looked at the people on the street. Now he is no longer an imperial soldier, but a soldier. A Republican soldier, he, like many others, left the army and joined the Republican Army in order to avoid becoming a prisoner. The reason why he did this was because he had blood on his hands and was afraid of retaliation. But now, commanding the machine gun, he Staring at the crowd on the street, there is only murderous intent in his eyes...
Suddenly, he stretched his arms forward and shouted.
"Here you go!"
......
Nanyang, Chang'an
At noon that day, Li Yi'an, who had just attended the banquet, found out He asked almost subconsciously about this sudden incident. .
"How many people are dead and injured! Have you identified the murderer?"
In fact, none of this is important anymore. What is important is how to respond. After all, this is a test for Nanyang, and it is even related to how the Tang people will view it. This country must give the most direct answer.
Looking at the cold-faced commander-in-chief, Li Guoren said directly.
“Although there is no further news yet, according to the information currently available, it is very likely that this is the instruction of Yogyakarta, or at least their tacit approval. Whether they admit it or not, this is extremely Possible. "
Li Yian asked as he lit a cigar.
"So what does the Intelligence Bureau think?"
Faced with Datong's inquiry, Cheng Pengan said directly.
“In the past few days, Yogyakarta has been claiming that the treaty we signed with the Dutch and Indian authorities is an illegal treaty. They have been protesting through diplomatic channels, claiming that we are illegally occupying Borneo. Others have claimed that, To teach us a profound lesson, we have reason to believe that they planned this incident, but the Intelligence Bureau needs further information."
"No!"
Li Yian said it directly. said.
"Guoren, you immediately issued a statement requesting Yogyakarta to hand over all the masterminds and murderers involved in this matter within 24 hours. Otherwise, we will take further action..."
After thinking about it, Li Yian said again.
"We will also communicate with the Dutch side. We will send our air force to assist them in counterinsurgency, and we are willing to provide all the help we can to help them restore order in Java!"
Yes! Sometimes, the most direct answer is often simple and crude. Those people want a lesson, so give them a profound lesson!
Then he raised his head and looked at Li Guoren and said in a cold tone.
"If anyone needs an answer, then they will get an answer!"
