Chapter 630: Relocation of Aboriginals and Distribution of Territories

The elective sultanate is actually a fusion of multiple indigenous sultans into one country, so that these sultanates have the opportunity to control this big country.

On the surface, it seems to be for fairness and justice, but in fact it gives Australasia the opportunity to interfere in the internal affairs of this country.

In short, it is not easy for anyone to be elected as the Great Sultan, and it is not easy to achieve it only by relying on the efforts of his own sultanate.

At this time, interference and support from the outside world become very important. For this upcoming Great Sultanate, which country's support influence will be far greater than Australasia?

The attitude of Australasia has become a necessary and sufficient condition for these small sultans to be elected as the Great Sultan.

In other words, when these sultanates support someone to become the Great Sultan, they have to consider the attitude of Australasia.

This Great Sultanate, which is forcibly blended by multiple sultanates, is destined to have no peace. Australasia has many opportunities to interfere in this Great Sultanate, and it is even likely that these sultanates beg Australasia to interfere.

After hearing Minister Deze's explanation, the sultans of many sultanates began to ponder, and Muhammad was also thinking about whether he could benefit from such a system.

But after thinking about it, it is easy and difficult to become a great sultan. As long as you get the support of Australasia, it is easy to become a great sultan, otherwise it is impossible.

Thinking of this, Muhammad looked at Minister Deze and asked very respectfully: "Minister Deze, can we really choose any island?"

"Of course." Minister Deze smiled and nodded, indicating the attitude of Australasia.

In fact, if one of the three islands in the Dutch East Indies must be chosen to give to the natives, Arthur wants to choose Kalimantan.

Although Kalimantan is larger in area, it is farther away from the scope of Australasia and can serve as a buffer in the north.

Although Sumatra has the same factors, it is close to the Strait of Malacca after all. If you want to control the Strait of Malacca, Sumatra must also be controlled.

Needless to say, Java Island is the closest island to Australasia in the Dutch East Indies, and it is also the island with the highest development value among the three islands in the Dutch East Indies.

Although Indonesia in later generations wanted to move the capital from Java Island to Kalimantan Island, this does not mean that Java Island has low development value.

The real reason for them to move the capital is that Java Island has already accommodated more than 150 million people, which has reached the maximum population capacity of Java Island.

Such a problem does not exist for Australasia now. It is not an exaggeration to say that even a hundred years later, such a problem will still not exist.

The mainland of Australasia alone is more than enough to accommodate hundreds of millions of people. In addition to the existing areas such as New Guinea Island, Sulawesi Island, and New Zealand, it can accommodate at least 500 million people.

How long will it take for the population of Australasia to grow to 500 million? Arthur is not clear about this question, but there is no hope of reaching it during his reign.

If the population of Java Island is around 20 million, this is a reasonable value, and it can also bring out the maximum development value of Java Island.

As long as the natives of Java Island are cleared, relying on the superior soil of Java Island, it can be transformed into another granary of Australasia, and it will also become one of the most important regions in the non-native regions.

With the addition of two large islands, Java Island and Sumatra Island, Australasia can also easily accommodate 600 million to 700 million people, which is the basic plate for becoming a superpower.

Of course, such territory is almost at its limit. Because of the geographical location of Australasia, there are not many neighboring countries nearby.

If Australasia wants to expand, there is the Straits Settlements of Britain in the north, which was impossible to occupy before World War II.

To the south is Antarctica, and Australasia is currently making a strong claim, and I believe that the resistance will not be too great.

Real land expansion can only be placed in the east and west, but the west is Africa, which has been divided up by the powers.

To the east is Hawaii, which is currently occupied by the United States. It is still not easy to truly split the land from the United States.

This also means that after the conflict in the Dutch East Indies, except for the super-large war, Australasia will basically not launch external expansion wars.

Just consuming the current land base is enough for Australasia to stabilize its position as a superpower to maintain the top five and strive for the top three.

Coupled with the development of science and technology and population, even if the world situation remains unchanged, Australasia will have the possibility of stabilizing the top three in the world.

Although it is stated that one of the three islands can be chosen, in fact, intelligence personnel have revealed that they want the natives to choose Kalimantan.

Using Kalimantan as a buffer zone, the southern part can also establish an island defense chain of Sumatra, Java, Royal Territory, Sulawesi, and New Guinea.

In addition to the Pacific Territory and New Zealand in the east, Australasia only needs to defend the Indian Ocean in the west, and there is no risk to the mainland at all.

Completely taking over the Dutch East Indies means that the mainland of Australasia has become as safe as the United States.

Even under the premise of the US-UK hegemony, the security of the American homeland is not as good as Australasia.

The Americans have Canada, a dominion that fears the United States, and Mexico, its enemy, to the north and south. Australasia has no land neighbors, and its maritime neighbors are only the British Straits Settlements, the Great Sultanate under its control, and the Philippines. There is no doubt about its safety.

The final result is also very clear. Nur Brady Hakara and Muhammad are both smart people. Naturally, it is impossible for them to go against Australasia's hint and choose other islands.

Although the other indigenous people are unwilling, the current situation is something they cannot resist at all, and they can only be forced to accept the fact that the entire tribe must move to Kalimantan.

Of course, in order to appease these indigenous people, Minister Dazer also adhered to the spirit of giving a sweet date after a stick, and appropriately gave these indigenous sultans some benefits.

This includes the first sultanate that completed the migration of the entire tribe, and obtained food resources worth 2 million Australian dollars, as well as a part of the population of those indigenous forces that were wiped out.

The second and third received food support of 1 million Australian dollars and 500,000 Australian dollars respectively, and used the ranking to encourage these indigenous sultanates to migrate as many people as possible to Kalimantan.

The last indigenous sultan who completes the migration of the whole tribe will lose the right to be elected as the Grand Sultan for the first time.

This also makes some sultans who want to become the Grand Sultan cheer up. Although they are unwilling to migrate to Kalimantan, they cannot not take action while others are migrating.

Of course, in order to give the indigenous people a bottom line, Minister Daize announced that the migration time of the indigenous people is three years.

Three years later, in November 1928, any indigenous people who stay in Sumatra and Java will be regarded as rioters and will be attacked indiscriminately by the Australasian army.

In order to improve the efficiency of these indigenous population transfers, Minister Daize also stated that Australasia will provide transport ships, which will continue to travel between Sumatra, Java and Kalimantan to help these indigenous sultans transfer population.

At present, the only remaining indigenous forces are the Solo Sultanate, the Yogyakarta Sultanate, the Zhanbei Sultanate, the Aceh Sultanate, the Kutai Sultanate, the Burungan Sultanate and the Sanfa Sultanate. Of course, there are also eight indigenous forces in total, including Muhammad.

How to evenly distribute these eight indigenous forces on Kalimantan Island has also become a controversial issue among these indigenous peoples.

The areas of the Kutai Sultanate and the Burungan Sultanate are relatively large, and because they are located on Kalimantan Island, they need to cede part of their land to compensate those sultanates that have migrated their entire families.

They dare not disobey Minister Dazer's orders, but they will also receive a batch of food compensation and the population of those destroyed indigenous forces to balance the population gap between several indigenous forces.

This is also Arthur's balancing policy, to reduce the power gap between these indigenous sultanates as much as possible, to ensure that a certain sultan will not dominate and thus monopolize the position of the great sultan.

The good news is that the population of these sultanates is actually not much different, basically around one or two million, and the army is only one or two thousand people.

The population of those destroyed sultanates has become an advantage to attract these sultanates. With these freely distributed populations, Australasia can also better control these scattered small sultanates.

Before the sultanates completed their migration, the internal affairs of this large sultanate were managed by Australasia to ensure peace between the sultanates.

These indigenous countries had no power to refuse, and they would not refuse for the sake of the population.

After all, the biggest power gap between the indigenous people is population. The gap in their technology and knowledge levels is not large, and population is the biggest factor in improving their strength.

Even the most special Muhammad wanted to gain some population to strengthen his position at this time.

Because he only commanded a brigade and did not have any population base. Without population, there would be no income and food, and whether he could support the army was a problem.

This also means that he must establish his own indigenous power in order to support his army and seek a higher status.

The good news is that compared with other pure indigenous people, most of his men are mixed-race people, so there is no need to worry that they will rebel against other indigenous forces.

After all, mixed-race people are relatively special both in the Netherlands and among the indigenous people. To exaggerate a little, this is a race that is looked down upon by both sides.

If it weren't for the fact that the army commanded by Muhammad still had a certain fighting capacity, I'm afraid his army would have been divided up by those native sultans long ago.
