Chapter 653 Evacuation of Overseas Chinese (5)

After receiving the notice from the servant, Rosblu was also very surprised. He didn't know why Qian Guoyu and Zhang Zhijun came to visit him at this time?

To be honest, Roseblu has been very nervous these days, because the Netherlands is one of the members of the Far East Expeditionary Force. It can be said that it is now hostile to the East China government. And he really didn't expect that the British Far East Fleet was defeated by the evacuation fleet. Therefore, when the evacuation fleet arrived in Java, Roseblu thought that his doomsday had come. Fortunately, the evacuation fleet did not cause trouble for the colonial government, and Roseblu also strictly restrained the officials, army, and natives in Java. At this time, do not be provoked by the evacuation fleet. Let them do whatever they want.

After finally waiting for the evacuation fleet to leave Java, Rosblu had just breathed a sigh of relief. He knew that Qian Guoyu and Zhang Zhijun came to visit him. Is they planning to kill him before leaving? But then he thought, if the other party really wanted to kill him, it would not be just these two people, but would come directly with the army, so he should still be safe. So Rosblu immediately ordered someone to invite the two to his reception room.

After both sides sat down, Rosbru said: "Do you have anything to do with me when you see me?"

Qian Guoyu said: "Mr. Governor, I have something to say. Our current relationship is actually a hostile relationship, and there is no need to be polite. This time we came to Java to pick up the evacuation of overseas Chinese, and we do not intend to take action against Java. Therefore, you can rest assured that we will not be detrimental to you this time."

Rosblu laughed dryly and said, "Personally, I am a peaceful person, so I am very sorry for this result, just..."

Qian Guoyu interrupted: "Mr. Governor, we are here to visit you. We are not going to say this nonsense. We will leave Java the day after tomorrow, but there are still a group of overseas Chinese who have not left with us. They will continue to stay in Java. I know that many people in Java are staring at the wealth of overseas Chinese, and they are planning to start robbing as soon as we leave."

Rosblu felt a little nervous and said: "No, no, no, no, there will never be such a thing. Overseas Chinese have made great contributions to Java's economic prosperity. The Governor's Office will never allow this situation. Of course, some attacks against overseas Chinese did occur some time ago, but that was just an individual act. The Governor's Office has taken effective measures to ensure that such situations will not happen again."

Qian Guoyu shook his head and said, "I just said that there is no need to say these diplomatic words anymore. I am not a diplomat. What I want to say is that after we leave, we will certainly not be able to control what you want to do, but I want to remind the Governor to have an old Chinese saying, stay at the front line and meet in the future."

Rosblu was stunned for a moment, and his face finally became serious and said, "What does this mean?"

Qian Guoyu said: "Mr. Governor must believe that the Expeditionary Force will definitely win after it arrives, but I would like to remind the Governor that there is nothing absolute on the battlefield. What if the Expeditionary Force is defeated?"

Roseblu's face also changed slightly. He did believe that after the Expeditionary Force arrived in the Far East, he would definitely defeat the East China government. He never thought that the Expeditionary Force would fail. However, Qian Guoyu's words did remind him, what if the Expeditionary Force was really defeated by the East China government? Before that, he did not believe that the British Far East Fleet would be defeated by the evacuated fleet, but what was the result?

However, Rosblu also knew that the indigenous peoples of Java now had sharpened their knives and were impatient. They just waited for the evacuation fleet to leave and began to attack the remaining overseas Chinese. Although the governor of Java, it was impossible for them to stop their actions. Otherwise, these merchants could join forces to get themselves out of office, because these merchants had great energy in the country and could affect the parliament.

At this time, Qian Guoyu seemed to see his embarrassment and said, "I know that the Governor cannot be a good player in Java. Even if I want to stop him, I may have the will but not the strength."

After hearing this, Rosblu nodded quickly and said, "Yes, yes, I can't control it either."

Qian Guoyu said: "If it's just to steal the industry and wealth of overseas Chinese, it's fine, but it's best not to cause death, because blood debts are paid with blood. At least before the result of this battle comes out, don't kill easily. Because they are from the Zhang family, we hope that if one day we return to Java, each of them will be safe. Otherwise, we will wait for our revenge at that time, and the colonial government will not be able to escape."

Rosblu was also a smart person. At this time, he didn't understand what Qian Guoyu meant, that is, the property of overseas Chinese can be snatched at will, but don't kill people, because he was from the Zhang family, because if the East China government wins and fights back to Java, then the things snatched can be taken back, and the relationship between the two parties will be restored and eased. If a large number of casualties of overseas Chinese will be caused, the two sides will completely lose the space for reconciliation. After the East China government wins, Java will face the astonishing anger and crazy revenge of the East China government.

Although Rosblu cannot prevent foreign businessmen and indigenous people from robbing the property of overseas Chinese, it is still possible to reduce the casualties of overseas Chinese. After all, businessmen from various countries only focus on the industries of overseas Chinese and are not interested in killing people. Indigenous people may have a stronger desire to kill. However, Rosblu asks himself that he is still an indigenous person who can control it. Of course, it cannot be said that only one overseas Chinese is killed. However, it is completely possible to control the number of overseas Chinese dead at a lower number. As for the East China government's request to protect the Zhang family's personnel in Java, it is easy to deal with. It is simply arrested and imprisoned. In fact, it is a disguised protection. However, once you learn that the East China government's unfavorable operations are reported, these measures can be cancelled.

So Rosebru nodded and said, "Okay, I will do my best."

Qian Guoyu also nodded. To do this, the East China government can be said to be the ultimate deed. Whether it can restrain the Javanese colonists and indigenous people can only leave it to fate. Therefore, Qian Guoyu also stood up to persuade him and left with Zhang Zhijun.

When the two walked out of the Governor's Office, Zhang Zhijun immediately bowed to Qian Guoyu and said, "Col. Qian, thank you for your blessing to the Zhang family and all the overseas Chinese in Java."

Qian Guoyu said: "Mr. Zhang, you have to be polite. These things are what we should do. In fact, we fully understand the behavior of these overseas Chinese. The foundation we have accumulated over several lifetimes is indeed difficult to abandon. However, our current strength is indeed limited and we cannot protect the overseas Chinese who stay in Java. Therefore, we can only do these things. I just hope that our last warning can work and allow the overseas Chinese who stay in Java to suffer less. But don't worry, after this war, we can definitely return to Java and settle the accounts slowly at that time."

Zhang Zhijun also sighed and said, "It is rare for the East China government to do this. Colonel Qian doesn't have to blame himself."

It was late at this time, so the two of them returned, and Qian Guoyu went straight back to their home. His wife Li Lihua had already prepared supper and was waiting for him. Seeing that Qian Guoyu was back, Li Lihua immediately asked the servant to serve the meal and the two of them had a meal.

On the dining table, Qian Guoyu said, "Have you packed up all the things? We will get on the boat tomorrow afternoon, so we will spend the night on the boat tomorrow night."

Li Lihua smiled and said, "Don't worry, I've already been packed up."

Qian Guoyu nodded and said, "Have your family said hello, what is their attitude?"

Li Lihua hesitated for a moment before saying, "The family argued very hard about this matter. In the end, it was my grandfather who came forward to suppress the voices of others and decided not to rob it this time." He paused and said, "But my father handed over the farm's management rights."

It turned out that after receiving the domestic order, Qian Guoyu immediately negotiated with Li Lihua and said that Li Lihua could stay in Java because although Li Lihua has Chinese ancestry, she has never returned to China. At the same time, she also opened an orphanage in Java and adopted more than 100 orphans, so there is no need to go back with her. Moreover, after marrying Qian Guoyu, Li Lihua's family was very marginalized in the family and its status was greatly improved. Li Lihua's father took over the operation of a farm, and Li Lihua's orphanage was also included in the family's public welfare industry, and she could get the family's withdrawal. The economy improved greatly. It was the time for the rise. At most one year, she could definitely come back. But Li Lihua rejected Qian Guoyu's suggestion and was willing to return to China with Qian Guoyu.

However, Qian Guoyu suggested to the Smith family that he hoped that after the evacuation fleet left, the Smith family would not participate in the competition for overseas Chinese assets, because when the East China government returned to Java, the snatched industries must not only be spit out, but also will definitely lose more. Then he would not take care of the Smith family. On the contrary, if the Smith family did not participate in the competition for overseas Chinese assets this time, there would definitely be greater benefits in the future.

Qian Guoyu's request caused great response in the Smith family, because there were indeed many people in the family who were preparing to have a meal in this gluttonous meal, so they were naturally dissatisfied with Qian Guoyu's attitude. However, the elder Smith Bi Jing was still an experienced person. After weighing the pros and cons, he finally agreed to Qian Guoyu's request. However, in order to balance the interests of the family, he could only take back the farm taken over by Li Lihua's father and hand it over to others for business.

Qian Guoyu felt a little apologized when she heard this and said, "I'm sorry, this time I have implicated my father."

Li Lihua smiled slightly and said, "It doesn't matter. This farm is not ours anyway. Just take it back. It just so happened that my father helped me take care of the orphanage during this period, so I can leave with confidence."
