In the eyes of most people, Adan Company was a little hasty and reckless, but it was precisely because of this sloppiness and recklessness that Adan Company was able to quickly open up the situation in East India.

The reason why Li Wan and Ling Zhi jumped out so eagerly, in addition to the hatred of the country and the family, it must be more for their own interests, the two are not in conflict, and the Adan company does not want to monopolize the East Indies, after driving out the Dutch, the interests must be redistributed, and it is better to support Chinese agents in the East Indies than to support those soil kings.

So from May 10th, what was originally a conflict between the Umbrella Company and the Dutch colonial government over the seizure of the Ark finally evolved into an armed rebellion against the Dutch colonial government by the indigenous people of Sumatra.

Similar armed rebellion is not uncommon in the East Indies, since the signing of the Sumatra Agreement between Britain and the Netherlands in the last century, after the Dutch colonization of the East Indies, in the past hundred years, the East Indian ethnic groups have launched many armed national uprisings against the Dutch colonization, and at the same time, the conflicts between the various ethnic groups in the East Indies are continuous, and the Dutch colonial government is also taking advantage of the conflicts between the various ethnic groups in the East Indies to maintain colonial rule over the East Indies.

Although this had a certain effect, it also led to a serious consequence, that is, the people of the East Indies were fierce and antagonistic, and once an external force such as the Adan Company intervened, the colonial order that the Dutch barely maintained would collapse.

Li Wan and Ling Zhi are still very powerful, with the cooperation of the umbrella company and the Adan company, Li Wan and Ling Zhi formed two troops in a very short period of time, starting from Medan to the north and the other to the south, to launch an attack on the rest of Sumatra.

"These two guys are old slippery heads, their subordinates have Chinese and Javanese, now the Chinese are being trained in Medan, and the Javanese are going around to fight to feed the war, those Javanese are very violent, cutting people is like chopping turnips, fortunately there are our people to restrain them, otherwise the Chinese here will inevitably suffer." David was very relaxed during this time, the Dutch are still pinning their hopes on British mediation, and have not taken action against Medan, during this time the port of Medan has hoarded a lot of supplies, the pilots will fly planes every day to familiarize themselves with the terrain and formulate combat plans, and the Batavia military port is also under surveillance, as long as the Far East Fleet dares to leave the port, Medan will receive the news in minutes.

"They deserve to suffer, and I haven't reminded them that if people don't listen, what can we do." Andy is indifferent, some people always think that they can sell it for a good price, but they don't know that Adan Company doesn't care about this at all, the three thousand mercenaries in Medan Port are waiting to buy plantations, and if they don't create more "ownerless wasteland", how can they meet the needs of these mercenaries?

During this time, Andy had fully understood the situation in the East Indies, and it should be said that the status of the Chinese in the East Indies was still quite high, second only to the whites who settled in the East Indies, and the status of those land kings was about the same.

The lowest status in the East Indies are the Javanese, Sundanese, Madura, and Malays, all of whom are poor and largely unowned and dependent on plantation labor.

This part of the population was the greatest source of instability in the East Indies, and whenever the Dutch felt that the Chinese were too powerful and might not be controlled, the Dutch would provoke these natives to cause some horrific bloodshed.

In the past, in the East Indies, the Chinese could be said to be angry at both ends, the top was suppressed by the Dutch, and the bottom was hostile to the local natives, and the living environment was indeed very harsh.

However, I am afraid that what the Dutch did not expect is that since these natives can be provoked by the Dutch, they can also be co-opted by the Chinese, but the previous Chinese family had too many concerns about the great cause and did not dare to break the boat, so they were repeatedly miscared for.

Now this concern does not exist, with the full support of the umbrella company and the Adan company, Li Wan and Ling Zhi's troops developed rapidly, on May 10 Li Wan and Ling Zhi respectively purchased weapons and ammunition with a total value of 150,000 pounds from Adan Company in the form of loans, and on the 15th Li Wan and Ling Zhi sent 300,000 pounds.

150,000 is to repay the loan, and the other 150,000 is the deposit for the second batch of weapons, Andy doesn't ask where the money came from, the Lee Enfield rifle is sold at a factory price of 35 pounds in southern Africa, and the sale to Li Wan and Ling Zhi is a 100 pounds with 50 rounds of ammunition, and 300,000 pounds is only 3,000 rifles, which is just a small order for the Nyasaland military industrial complex.

During this time, the Nyasaland military-industrial complex really made a windfall, and in North Africa, Germany and France had another dispute over Morocco, and it seemed that conflict could break out again.

In Tripolitania, the conflict between the Italians and the Ottoman Empire is intensifying and threatens to turn into a full-scale war between the two countries.

The orders in the East Indies are just the beginning, as Li Wan and Ling Zhi's troops grow stronger and stronger, there will be more and more orders, and the Nyasaland Military Industrial Group is really counting the money to the point.

"Do you need to control Li Wan and Ling Zhi a little?" David was also worried that Li Wan and Ling Zhi's troops were developing too fast, which would affect the interests of Adan Company.

"No, their troops are trained by mercenaries sent by us, all the officers and staff officers are all ours, if their troops use broadswords and spears, then we really have to be careful, don't use it now, the more weapons they buy, the less you need to worry." Andy is very grateful for the unitary colonial economy of the East Indies, and as long as the East Indies do not have the capacity to produce weapons, then Adan does not need to worry.

To put it bluntly, if Li Wan and Ling Zhi dare to rebel, then Adan Company only needs to stop trading with Li Wan and Ling Zhi, then the weapons that Li Wan and Ling Zhi buy now will become burning sticks, and at that time, no matter how large Li Wan and Ling Zhi's troops are, they will end up scattering in a hurry.

"Do you want to train a few more? It's also good to spread out the strength. "David has done the same, the Umbrella Company is doing this on the Peninsula, and now more than a dozen forces of different sizes are fighting each other on the Peninsula, and the Adan Company is following behind to expand its power, and most of Najd has become the sphere of influence of the Adan Company.

"This is okay, cultivate more, and it will be convenient for us to do business." Andy treats rebellion as a business, and agents are similar to channel agents, and the more the better.

Outside the window, inside the port of Medan, a cargo ship is unloading, and the Nyasaland Trading Company logo is on the container.

The benefits of a single colonial economy were many, as the East Indies were an important producer of coffee, rubber, palm oil, and sugar, which the Dutch used to buy from plantations and sell to Europe, and then imported various industrial products from Europe, making huge profits and becoming an important source of income for the Dutch government.

Now this part of the income is transferred to Nyasaland, southern Africa itself has a strong industrial capacity, all kinds of modern industrial products can be produced in southern Africa, but limited to the lack of population in southern Africa, the scale of the domestic market is not large, which seriously restricts the industrial development of southern Africa.

That's why Viscount Gladstone and Ade will support the actions of the umbrella company, which is also because of the size of the East India market, don't look at the territory of the East Indies is not as large as that of southern Africa, but the population of the East Indies is large, about 30 million, much larger than the domestic market of southern Africa, in the past, because of the trade monopoly of the Dutch, the market of the East Indies was controlled by the Dutch, although Britain can enjoy the most-favored-nation treatment in the East India because of the "Sumatra Agreement", but after all, it is better to control it in its own hands.

Therefore, the Dutch hope that British mediation is doomed to be in vain, and even if Britain does its best to mediate, Roque wants to agree to the Dutch colonial government's request to order the Umbrella Company and Adan Company to withdraw from the port of Medan, and the merchants of southern Africa will not agree.

"The army near Batavia is being assembled, and a mobilization order has been issued in the Netherlands to organize troops to come to the East Indies to quell the rebellion, and we are estimated to be a little troublesome in the next period." Andy has been concerned about the situation in Batavia, the Dutch will definitely not pin all their hopes on London, the king of England died suddenly during this time, and the new king ascended the throne There are many things, and they are not in the mood to care about this bit of in the East Indies, so the Dutch still have to be self-reliant.

"Let them fight, and beat the East Indies to a pulp, so that we can clean up the mess." David doesn't care, now is just the beginning, once the war breaks out, it will not be easily stopped, in the final analysis, it is the subversion of the old interest class by the new interest class, and if the whole stall is not destroyed, the interests of the new interest class cannot be guaranteed.

"What are we like with the Dutch?" Andy shook his head and smiled bitterly, not clear about his position.

"It's no different, for the East Indies, we are invaders like the Dutch, but under the rule of the Dutch, the Chinese in the East Indies are like leeks, growing and cutting stubble, under our rule, the Chinese are the rulers, at least we are not only plundering, but also building." David has a lot of experience in this area, and Port Elizabeth is a good example.

Under British rule, Port Elizabeth was worthless, so the Governor of Egypt would easily sell Port Elizabeth to Roque.

Under Roque's rule, oil was a direct cause of Port Elizabeth's growing importance, and the Adam Company's hard work contributed to it, at least now that the abandoned land around Port Elizabeth is being restored, and the forests that have been lost for many years are also recovering, and the trees are still seedlings, but will one day grow into towering trees.

If Port Elizabeth was still under British rule, then even if Port Elizabeth discovered oil, the British government would only extract oil and not build Port Elizabeth.

Perhaps in order to make life in Port Elizabeth more comfortable, the UK will invest appropriately in changing the environment of Port Elizabeth, but it will certainly not run Port Elizabeth as its own home, as Roque did.

That's the fundamental difference.
