Chapter 156 The whirlpool of the storm

The celebration of the October Revolution in the Soviet Union was held very grandly. Representatives from all over the world gathered in Moscow. As the special envoy of Switzerland, Zhou Nan also watched the grand military parade of the Soviet Union on the rostrum.

However, almost no one is here because everyone's eyes are attracted by the East Indies.

Since last August, after two months of fierce struggle, the British and Dutch coalition forces finally occupied much of the East Indies last month.

However, victory does not bring joy, because there are no winners in this war, and the British-Dutch coalition forces also suffered heavy casualties, and they only occupied the cities and had no way to control the large areas of the countryside.

At the end of October this year, the British team had a one-year deadline and took the lead in withdrawing from Java Island and handed over this chaotic area to the Netherlands.

The coalition forces of both countries cannot control it, and now only the Dutch army is left, and they cannot control the situation.

Under such a situation, the Dutch fully realized how correct Zhou Nan’s original suggestion was. Today’s East Indies is no longer an area where it used to be raging with just one army.

The weapons left by the Japanese, the revolutionary support of the Soviets, and the demand for national independence were enhanced. It was almost impossible to control the region by force.

Even if all the Dutch were sent over, their number was much smaller than that of the locals.

Since late October, until now, the Dutch parliament has increased its funding three times in a row, sending another 15,000 troops to the East Indies, but it still cannot control the local situation.

Zhou Nan’s previous suggestions have not been forgotten by them. They are fighting and controlling while also dividing the local natives to find suitable spokespersons.

The East Indies have never been a country or a nation. There are 300 ethnic groups there, and the population of more than 5 million is more than eight.

Under such circumstances, after careful consideration, the Netherlands finally announced on the day of the Soviet celebration that it had abandoned its direct rule in the East Indies and would support seven larger nations in the East Indies to establish its own countries.

This announcement immediately shocked the world and surprised all countries.

The Indonesian nation has been seeking national independence, and the Soviets have always supported their power. The Americans and Australians have been afraid that the red flag is approaching their doorsteps.

In such a complex situation, neither side dares to make concessions easily, because concessions mean failure.

But the Netherlands suddenly announced that it would establish seven countries in the East Indies, which made everyone satisfied, and everyone was dissatisfied again.

The Yaki, Timorese, Sunda, Papua, Malay and Chinese all cheered for this decision. Only the Madula seemed a little hesitant, not knowing whether they were independent or continuing to follow the footsteps of the Javanese.

In the Netherlands' notice, all countries have their own sovereignty, but to form the Dutch Indonesian Federation, the Queen of the Netherlands has reputable leadership. And the Netherlands still enjoys privileges in diplomacy, military and economic aspects.

This is similar to the situation in the UK for India, but it is very different from history.

In the original history, the Netherlands recognized part of Indonesia's independence in 46 years, but most of the regions were still in their own hands. It was not until 49 that under pressure from the international community that they hurriedly put forward a plan to establish fifteen countries in the East Indies.

However, because of unreasonable distribution, some of these fifteen countries were too small, and some were because of their ethnic mix, they were later defeated by the Javanese people and finally returned to the Indonesian Federation.

But in the following decades, the Papua and Timorese peoples fought for independence from the Javanese people, and it was not until decades later that there was one East Timor and one Papua New Guinea.

As for the interests of the Chinese and Yaqi people, they were completely sacrificed, which led to the almost disappearance of the Chinese political power and became lambs to be slaughtered.

In the East Indies, the Timorese could directly live on the islands of their ancestors, and Yaqi was directly divided into the northern part of Sumatra.

The Chinese occupy the southwestern part of Borneo, which is also the original Chinese-powered area, and the Bangka Belitung Island near Sumatra.

The Malays were divided into the southern part of Sumatra, and the Malays on Borneo blamed the Dutch for handing them over to the British.

The Sunda people are also a large ethnic group in the East Indies. Their original sphere of influence was Java and the Spice Islands, and they were of course overjoyed.

Only the Javanese refused because they wanted to occupy a complete East Indies instead of a small island country with only one Javanese island. Although the Little Sunda Islands were also classified as them, this could not meet their needs at all.

Of course, this is just the preliminary plan of the Netherlands. It will take a long time of negotiation to make this plan come into effect.

In the past life, the Netherlands captured Sukarno and the others, and it took two years of negotiation to determine the decision to establish fifteen small countries. There are even more differences in this life. It is probably faster to be able to complete the negotiations 49 years ago.

The Netherlands in his previous life was cheated by the United States and the Soviet Union. In this life, Zhou Nan would never let this happen again.

In his previous life, the Netherlands supported the independence of fifteen countries. In fact, the abacus was the same as what Zhou Nan fought now. If more small countries were established, the Netherlands naturally no longer had sovereignty, but economic control was enough.

Half of these fifteen small countries are controlled by the Dutch.

However, the Soviet Union and the United States regarded this place as a place of struggle outside Europe's main battlefield. No one dared to act rashly on the battlefield in Europe, because it would turn into World War III if they were not careful.

Therefore, the two sides opened up the Middle East battlefield, the Korean battlefield, the Southeast Asian battlefield, the Vietnam battlefield, the Afghan battlefield, and even the Central American battlefield, in order to train and compete.

The Philippines here in Southeast Asia is the territory of the United States, and Malaya is the territory of the British, which means that the Netherlands is easier to bully.

Their struggle in the East Indies benefited the Javanese and the Dutch. Under the repeated tug-of-war, the forces left by the Netherlands were gone. In the end, except for a few economic and trade powers, they also completely lost the East Indies.

In Zhou Nan's analysis, Zhou Nan focused on analyzing the future strategic significance of the East Indies. Under the military threat of the Soviet Union that could almost push the earth, they understood what to do without Zhou Nando's explanation.

Although it seems that the Netherlands has made a lot of concessions at once, as long as the economic privileges can be preserved, the Dutch merchant country will be satisfied.

Zhou Nan obtained a specific division plan from the Deputy Prime Minister of the Netherlands and wanted to laugh out loud. Although the territory given to Chinese people is not very large in order to prevent Chinese from controlling the East Indies, this is also half of Borneo, and this will be the foundation of tens of millions of Chinese people in the future!

The celebration has not ended yet, but the focus of the world is no longer in Moscow, but has become The Hague in the Netherlands and Jakarta in the East Indies.

All countries are eager to analyze the changes in the situation caused by the Netherlands's actions, and want to find out where the Netherlands' bottom line is, and want to gain greater benefits before this plan is implemented.

Only the UK is firmly sitting on the Diaoyutai because they have known all the Netherlands’ plans from the very beginning. In fact, the plan is only halfway through, because the other half still needs to be implemented by the British.

The entire South Asia region, including India, Pakistan, Myanmar, and Malaya, is currently in a declining UK.

Zhou Nan analyzed that the United States will replace Britain and take over the sphere of influence that originally belonged to Britain. Britain dared not rely on hard support. However, Britain can also retreat to advance, just like the Netherlands, and retain its own interests as much as possible.

After attending the celebration, a large number of diplomats boarded the train back to Western Europe. Many of them had the destination of the Hague, the largest rural area in Europe.

Zhou Nan was also on the train, but such world events had nothing to do with him. For more than half a year, almost everyone has known that Zhou Nan was a master who could sort out anything when he was outside the street.

But a very simple thing happened to him, and he didn't know the kind of twists and turns in it, and he had to count money for others when he was sold.

People like him are typically high IQ, low EQ, far-sighted vision, but lack the ability to adapt to changes.

Therefore, even if he enters politics, his best position is a helmsman or an aide, and he cannot participate in specific affairs.

Although Switzerland never participates in any international affairs except humanitarianism, such a big thing has happened now, and this incident still has something to do with Zhou Nan. Of course, Bern wants Zhou Nan to return to China as soon as possible.

On the one hand, it is to protect Zhou Nan, and on the other hand, it is to rely on his analysis to allow Switzerland to gain greater benefits in other aspects.

The Soviet Union did not want Zhou Nan to leave, but the excuse was that Zhou Nan's academic cooperation with socialist countries had not yet ended.

However, the Swiss Federal Council sternly rejected the proposal, saying that there are more important things in Switzerland, and academic cooperation can also make people go to Switzerland directly.

After boarding the train back, Zhou Nan was still guilty. He only gave the Netherlands tips and suggestions on this aspect based on his memory, but he did not expect that this incident could cause such a big storm.

Fortunately, the Soviet Union still had some face and did not force him to stay. If he forced him to stay, let alone him, even Switzerland would have no choice.

Yanik received Zhou Nan at the train station in East Berlin. Seeing Zhou Nan appearing in front of him well, he couldn't help but hold him in his arms like he did when he was a child. "Jonas, I'm proud of you."
