The Rise of Australia

Chapter 627 Human Heart

On September 25, 1925, the Governor-General of the Dutch East Indies, Dirk, issued a general martial law order to the East Indies, requiring all natives who obeyed the Dutch rule to stay in their cities and not to go to other cities under any excuse.

Those who did not obey this order would be regarded as rioters, and the Dutch army could kill them directly without following any orders.

On the same day, the Dutch army and the native army fought fiercely outside the city of Batavia. The sound of artillery fire from both sides was continuous. If you didn't watch carefully, you would really think it was a great war.

But the actual scene of the battle made many intelligence personnel in Australasia a little stunned.

Rather than saying that the two sides fought fiercely, it was better to say that one side was simply slaughtering the other side.

The several divisions stationed in Batavia were still quite capable, and their combat effectiveness in frontal defense was far greater than that of the attacking native army.

If the number of natives was not too large, I am afraid that the offensive and defensive situation of both sides would change instantly, and the Dutch army would become the one to counterattack.

It was at this time that Muhammad received an order from Governor Dirk, and the army was stationed in the southeast of Batavia, becoming the second line of defense from outside Batavia to the city.

Although Muhammad's army was allowed to participate in this offensive and defensive battle, Governor Dirk was also thoughtful and did not let Muhammad station at the front line to prevent him from gaining too much merit in the war.

This also put Muhammad's army between Batavia and the front line, and it could quickly support the front line, but it could also quickly withdraw to the city.

Muhammad knew what Governor Dirk was thinking, but after he had determined to defect to the native side, Muhammad did not care about such exclusion.

Even thinking carefully, it is also beneficial to be stationed between the front line and Batavia. Governor Dirk was greedy for merit and reckless, and sent most of the troops to the front line for defense. The defense force in Batavia was very weak.

As the army closest to Batavia, under the premise that the indigenous army attracted most of the attention of the Dutch army, Muhammad had a bold idea, that is, to directly raid Batavia, control the Dutch East Indies government, and then surround the Dutch army on the front line with the indigenous army to completely defeat the Dutch colonial government.

Although this idea seems very crazy, it may be surrounded and beaten by the Dutch army if you are not careful.

But this is not a big deal for Muhammad, who is determined to become the indigenous controller. How can he realize his ambition without taking big risks?

If you think of it, you must do it. Muhammad immediately picked up the city defense map near Batavia.

Although it is not clear about the specific deployment of Governor Dilk, Muhammad still knows how many troops there are in Batavia and which line of defense these troops are in.

The garrison troops in Batavia are about two divisions, one brigade and a small number of governor guards. These two divisions were all sent to the front line, and Muhammad's own army was that brigade.

This also means that as long as a small number of Governor Dilk's guards are quickly defeated, the situation in Batavia can be quickly controlled.

In order to ensure that everything is foolproof, Muhammad still urgently contacted Eric and asked for some weapons and equipment support.

Of course, Muhammad is not short of ordinary weapons. The weapons and equipment support he asked for are actually some heavy firepower weapons.

In the worst case scenario, if the sneak attack on Batavia fails, relying on these heavy firepower weapons, all the indigenous troops can be gathered to fight another offensive and defensive battle.

This is also Muhammad's real idea. No matter what, Batavia must be captured. If the sneak attack can succeed, casualties must be avoided as much as possible.

As for the degree of control over the army, Muhammad is still relatively relieved. Because of the exclusion itself, Muhammad's army is also somewhat dissatisfied with Governor Dirk.

More importantly, there are very few pure Dutch in this army, more of them are mixed blood of Dutch and indigenous people, and some indigenous people who seem loyal to the Netherlands.

As their main general, Muhammad was discriminated against, not to mention that these are just mixed bloods of ordinary soldiers and low-level officers.

If Muhammad had not been suppressing it, I am afraid that this army would have erupted in dissatisfaction and mutiny long ago.

If Muhammad announced a counterattack on Batavia now, at least most people would support Muhammad's decision.

As for the rest, as long as the Dutch were allowed to leave, I believe that other mixed-bloods and natives would have smarter ideas.

In order to capture Batavia as soon as possible, Eric supported Muhammad very much and soon transported a batch of heavy weapons, including 20 artillery pieces and 20 heavy machine guns, including a machine gun developed by Australasia itself, which was completely sufficient for fire suppression.

On September 28, the natives on the periphery launched a fierce attack on the defensive positions of Batavia. Because of the request from Australasia, the native army almost came out in full force, and more than 40,000 troops rushed to the front line in a mighty manner.

The all-out attack of the natives also needs to be taken seriously by the Dutch army. Even 40,000 pigs will take some time to slaughter, not to mention more than 40,000 living people.

Although the natives were at a comprehensive disadvantage in terms of firepower, most Dutch soldiers were still very conservative and were unwilling to stick their heads out most of the time.

A few kilometers away, after hearing the fierce artillery fire and gunshots from the front line, Muhammad was moved, looked at his confidants, pretended to be sad and said: "Everyone, the front line is being fought fiercely. , but we can only watch here. We are afraid that we may not be able to fire a shot when this war is over. Are mixed-race people going to be discriminated against like this? "

These confidants are also mixed-race people. For those orthodox Dutch, they most look down on these mixed-race people who combine with the indigenous people.

Even if this is not the fault of those mixed-race people, who made their elders choose to be mixed-race?

Seeing that several of his confidants were obviously dissatisfied with Governor Dilk's arrangements, Muhammad then continued: "Everyone, do you want to continue to be discriminated against by the damn Governor Dilk, or do you want to find a new route to make our name resounding? How about changing our status quo in this land?”

Hearing what Muhammad said, several of his confidants were obviously very loyal and bold, and they quickly said without caring: "General, just tell me, what do you want us to do?"

"How about a sneak attack on Batavia, surrounding the Dutch with the native army, and establishing our own country?" Muhammad said word by word, carefully watching the reactions of his confidants.

"Raid on Batavia?" No matter how loyal these confidants were to Muhammad, they could not help but be surprised by Muhammad's bold idea.

This also means that they will completely separate from the rule of the Netherlands, and their identity will be completely abandoned in the Netherlands.

"What? Don't you dare?" Muhammad asked with a smile: "If you don't dare, you can leave now and I won't stop you.

But I hope you won’t stop me when I take action. I don’t want to fight with you. "

"It's not that we don't dare, General." One of his confidants quickly explained: "What if we betray the Netherlands and suffer revenge from the Dutch?

Even if we can establish an indigenous country, we can't resist the Netherlands and the powers behind the Netherlands! "

This is actually what many close friends are worried about. Although the Netherlands is not powerful, it can still win the support of some powerful countries.

Moreover, if they betray the Netherlands openly, they will be disgusted in the eyes of those powerful countries. Even if they can establish a new country, they are destined to not go far.

"I have already thought of this matter." Muhammad said with a smile: "Eric is an intelligence officer of the Royal Security Service of Australasia. Let him explain it to you!"

After hearing what Muhammad said, Eric walked in from the door, bowed to everyone very gentlemanly, and then introduced himself with a smile: "Everyone, please allow me to make a brief introduction of myself.

My name is Eric and I am an intelligence officer with the Royal Australasian Security Service. I understand your concerns, but please be assured that under the umbrella of Australasia you will not face any retaliation from the Netherlands.

All your family members in the Netherlands will be safely transferred by us, and there is no need to worry that the hostility of the Dutch will be transferred to your family members.

At the same time, we support you in building a new indigenous nation. As long as this country's interests do not conflict with Australasia's, you will be able to get strong support from Australasia. "

The revenge of a Dutch country is not taken seriously by Australasia, and it is very easy to take away a few ordinary people from the Netherlands.

More importantly, most of the families of these mixed-race people were in the Dutch East Indies themselves, which was the real reason why they became mixed-race people.

After all, if he settled in the Dutch East Indies, it would not be surprising to sometimes mix with the indigenous people.

Although it is well known that the Dutch hate the aborigines, this does not prevent some Dutch people from coveting the beauty of some aboriginal women.

After hearing what Eric said, many of his confidants looked at Muhammad and said, "Go ahead! General."

With the support of all his confidants, Muhammad was in a much better mood. With a wave of his hand, he began to formulate policies: "According to my investigation and understanding, there are currently less than a thousand troops left in Batavia and they are scattered. Everywhere in the city.

From our place we can reach Batavia without encountering any Dutch troops. As long as we enter Batavia and capture the colonial government and the governor's palace with hundreds of troops, we will no longer encounter any obstacles in our occupation of Batavia.

As long as Batavia can be captured before the Dutch troops on the front line can react, victory in this war will become inevitable. "
