Chapter 650 Evacuation of Overseas Chinese (2)

Wang Yunpeng said: "It cannot be entirely blamed on them. Apart from the troops, we were state cadres in the past, and the rest were basically ordinary people, and there were not even a few business owners who operated independently. In terms of experience and knowledge, it was because of the developed information in the old time and space that they knew more. At most, their level was enough to be a keyboard warrior. Although they have been in high positions with the development of the government in recent years, they have not changed much of their mentality. To put it bluntly, they still regard themselves as a small citizen. They feel that their lives are rich, their income is stable, and their social status should be prosperous."

Xu Jichao also said: "Although we are still far from unifying the country, for us, we have basically reached the peak that we could not reach in the old time and space. The stars and seas are just the slightest remarks when slapping the Internet. More people's mentality is still 'thirty acres of land per cow, and their wives and children are warm on the kang'. The higher the pursuit is 'the wives and concubines are crowded, spending money like soil' or 'sleep until they wake up naturally, and their hands cramped when counting money'. But as far as the status of most people is now, it has basically been reached, so it is not surprising that some people do not want to make progress and pursue pleasure and comfort. Moreover, since the establishment of the government, we have only focused on the development of military, economy, the Qing court, and foreign games, and have indeed overlooked this aspect."

After hearing this, Xia Bohai nodded and said, "What you said is right. This is our work mistake. He only attaches importance to material development and does not pay attention to ideological progress. Therefore, some people's thoughts cannot keep up with our development speed. This situation must be corrected immediately."

Wang Yunpeng said: "Although improving your mind is important, it is not a matter of one day or two. What is urgent for Meijie to do if you support the Northeast?"

Xia Bohai thought for a while and said, "Can you be sure how many people are unwilling to go to the Northeast? And is it that the parties involved are unwilling to go, or is their parents unwilling to let their children go?"

Wang Yunpeng said: "The number of people who are unwilling to go to the Northeast is about 40-50. However, it is because the parties are unwilling to go, or the parents do not allow their children to go, and it is still impossible to confirm. I can only say that there are both cases."

Xia Bohai pondered for a while, and honestly, Xia Bohai’s expertise is in both internal and external strategies, decision-making, these details and ideological matters, Qin Zheng is better at dealing with them than him. However, Qin Zheng is not in Qingdao now, and he is also responsible for a lot of things, so he cannot trouble Qin Zheng specifically for this matter. Therefore, Xia Bohai said: "What do you think should be handled?"

Wang Yunpeng also smiled bitterly and said, "On this issue, Lao Xu and I have different opinions. I advocate that we cannot compromise and we should force everyone to go. Bi Jing is a rule that has been set long ago. If this can be changed, then the authority of the Executive Yuan will still need it in the future. But Lao Xu believes that what if someone insists on not going? This is a very likely thing. You can't tie others up, which is not conducive to our internal unity."

Xu Jichao said: "It's not that I don't consider the authority of the Executive Yuan, but we have had similar situations before, but basically adhere to the principle of voluntary voluntary , and there is no forced , and it's just forced , and it's still useless if we don't work well in the Northeast , Guanjian is because we don't have relevant penalties. If we do, we act in accordance with the regulations. What should we do? After all, we are not fully established in our rules and regulations."

Xia Bohai thought about it again and said, "I agree that the principle of voluntaryism should be maintained, but we should try our best to do their ideological work. If it still doesn't work, then forget it. But one thing must be clear. This matter will be recorded in the archives and will be an important reference for future promotions or government support. Therefore, let them consider the importance of the right and wrong?"

Wang Yunpeng nodded and said, "Okay, this is OK. You can't let people who don't go there at all."

Xu Jichao also said: "I think this is a good deal. Give them the right to choose, but if you choose, you have to bear the consequences yourself."

Xia Bohai said: "Okay, this matter is settled like this. What's the situation in Java? Our fleet has been in 7 or 8 days. Why did we evacuate from Java?"

Wang Yunpeng said: "I was just about to talk about this again. Java also encountered some minor troubles. A considerable number of local overseas Chinese were unwilling to evacuate? We are still conducting persuasion work."

Xia Bohai said: "I don't want to evacuate? What's going on? The British and French expeditionary forces have arrived at the Andaman Sea and immediately entered the Strait of Malacca. They are still unwilling to evacuate. Are they planning to die in Java?"

Wang Yunpeng said: "That's not the case, it's mainly because most people's industries are in Java. If they leave, most of their property will be gone?"

Xia Bohai said: "It's so difficult that these people want money but don't live? And have our people not explained it clearly? Now we are just temporarily evacuating to avoid the edge of the British and French expeditionary forces. After we defeat the expeditionary forces, we will definitely fight back from at least half a year or more. By then, all industries will naturally come back, and we will compensate them for the losses. Isn't that okay?"

Xu Jichao smiled bitterly and said, "Why didn't you say it? I don't know how many times you said it, but some people just don't believe it, and the Dutch are still trying to get rid of us, so there are people who blame us for being troubled and shouldn't have been provoked by Britain and France, and they end up implicating them."

It turned out that after defeating the British Far East Fleet, it finally arrived in Java after another two days of voyage. At this time, the news of victory had been transmitted to Java in advance. The arrival of the evacuation fleet, two captured British warships and hundreds of captured British soldiers, all made the victory of the evacuation fleet completely come true.

Originally, the Dutch colonial authorities in Java had prepared to rob overseas Chinese, but they did not take action due to the East China government's garrison in Java and the guards composed of overseas Chinese. However, this does not mean that the Dutch colonists gave up, because although the East China government has only been protecting overseas Chinese for more than three years, due to the improvement of overseas Chinese status and the safety of family property, overseas Chinese dared to expand their investment and operations. Some overseas Chinese from the Philippines, Poyizhou, Indochina Peninsula, Malay Peninsula and other places have also come to Java to invest and start businesses. On the one hand, it promoted the prosperity of Java, and on the other hand, it also expanded the wealth and assets of overseas Chinese several times. But in the eyes of the Dutch colonists, they were undoubtedly a group of fat sheep, and they could not help but shear wool, and even slaughter a batch of meat.

Of course, the sheep that was slaughtered by others now have grown horns. It is not that easy to shear wool and eat mutton. At least it takes some effort. The difference is that some people are eager to rob, for the rushing party; while another group of people advocated to wait until the British and French expeditionary forces arrive before taking action, so that it is more certain and to build the party in order to stabilize. Therefore, the atmosphere in Java was very tense.

The arrival of the evacuation fleet completely eliminated the idea of ​​the rapid advance, so the Dutch colonists could only temporarily restrain themselves, but instead of being kind-hearted, they urged the Javanese overseas Chinese not to leave with the evacuation fleet, and repeatedly guaranteed that the colonial government would maintain the status quo and would never be detrimental to the overseas Chinese. They also took the opportunity to plunder the relationship between the East China government and the Chinese in Java, claiming that the East China government was provoked by Britain and France for no reason, which brought disaster to the Javanese overseas Chinese. As long as the Javanese overseas Chinese and the East China government made a cut, they would naturally not be implicated. Many overseas Chinese were reluctant to leave their wealth and wealth in Java, and they still had some fantasies about the Dutch colonists, and they did have some dissatisfaction with the East China government, so they refused to evacuate Java.

Xia Bohai has been depressing the hot temper of the soldiers over the years, but after hearing this, he couldn't help but get angry and said, "We have not been here in the past few years. We have a good life with the Javanese overseas Chinese. Now it's better, it's okay if we don't believe our guarantees, but it's just that we blamed us."

Wang Yunpeng said: "To be honest, this matter cannot be blamed on the Javanese overseas Chinese. This kind of trust cannot be established in a short period of time, because since the 16th century, the Chinese governments of the Ming and Qing dynasties have hardly protected overseas Chinese and let them die and survive on their own, which really makes it difficult for them to trust the promises of the Chinese government."

Xia Bohai said: "This is right, but we are different from the Ming and Qing dynasties. Three years ago, we did not send a fleet to Java to protect overseas Chinese, and we won a lot of substantial benefits for them. This time we made a special trip to help them evacuate. We also fought a war with the Far East Fleet. We did so many things. Isn't it enough for them to believe it?"

Wang Yunpeng said: "We are sure to have done a lot for the overseas Chinese in Java, but the time is still too short and the foundation is not deep. Moreover, these overseas Chinese do not understand any military and national affairs, military aircraft and combat strategies. We say that after defeating the Expeditionary Force, we will send them back to Java. But in their opinion, if we can defeat the Expeditionary Force, then why not stand firm in Java and fight with the Expeditionary Force? This is obviously because we can't defeat the Expeditionary Force, so we have to evacuate from Java! How do these overseas Chinese believe us, and we have to place most of Bai Ji's wealth on us, so this matter is also very embarrassing."
