"Humph! These damn Brits, it's so shameless. How could it be that they occupied most of the world's colonies, but they wanted the German Empire to compromise and retreat. Why didn't the British say that they would divide part of their colonies to the German Empire? Minister Hahausen thought secretly. The British have taken all the benefits and have no regard for the life or death of Germany, but now they want Germany to put the interests of the Western world first, which is simply too deceitful!

"Let's go to the hotel." After getting into the car, Minister Hahausen commanded.

Sir Anderson hoped that the Germans would exert pressure on the Chinese Empire to contain its expansion. The Germans, however, have gone the other way. The Germans were eager for the Chinese Empire to continue to expand. After the Chinese Empire occupied the East Indies, whether it was south, north, or west, it was the British sphere of influence. It would be best if the Chinese Empire could fight the British.

Minister Hahausen soon returned to the hotel and asked to see the Dutch Prime Minister Teo. Hemskelke's request.

The Dutch side did not dare to slack off on Minister Hahausen's request. Just a few minutes later, Minister Hahausen was seated at Te'o. Inside the temporary office of Prime Minister Hemskelke.

"Your Excellency, the Kingdom of the Netherlands and the German Empire have a traditional friendship, and we sincerely hope that the German Empire will be able to help us this time." Special Olympics. Minister Hemskelke said. The German side did not speak for them during the negotiations, which made him a little unhappy. However, they also cannot do without the help of the German side.

"Your Excellency Chancellor, in this negotiation, the German Empire is willing to help the Kingdom of the Netherlands. But in fact, we are completely powerless! The German Empire was now in turmoil in Europe and England. There is no telling when war will break out. Under such circumstances, it is obviously impossible for us to offend a world power like the Chinese Empire. It's not just us, it's obviously the same with the British. Minister Hahausen said.

Special Olympics. Chancellor Heimskelke was silent. He knew that Minister Hahausen was right. Although, both Britain and Germany wanted to win over the Kingdom of the Netherlands. However, when faced with such a huge empire as the Chinese Empire, they obviously have reservations. It is impossible to offend the Chinese Empire for the sake of the Kingdom of the Netherlands. Who called the Kingdom of the Netherlands too weak in its own strength. Is there no power to compete with the Chinese Empire at all?

"Your Excellency, the Kingdom of the Netherlands knows that the loss of the East Indies is inevitable. In fact, we have lost out any hope of recovering the East Indies. However, the Chinese can't take away these lands for nothing, right? It is also deserved to give the Kingdom of the Netherlands some compensation. "Special Olympics. Minister Hemskelke said angrily.

"Your Excellency, I can fully understand your feelings. However, this time the Chinese Empire must have been iron-hearted. In such a situation. The Kingdom of the Netherlands also has no other way. Unless, you don't want to end the war. Minister Hahausen said.

Special Olympics. Prime Minister Hemskelke naturally wanted to end the war as soon as possible, not to mention that the Dutch who were captured by the Chinese Empire had to be brought back to the Netherlands earlier. Otherwise, the families and friends of these Dutchmen would be enough to overthrow the entire cabinet.

"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, in my opinion. It is unlikely that the Kingdom of the Netherlands would want to receive compensation from the Chinese Empire. Let's prepare other conditions. Minister Hahausen said.

Special Olympics. Prime Minister Hemskelke hesitated, but finally nodded. He also knew that there was no way around it. The Chinese Empire is too strong, too picky, and if you want to get compensation from the Chinese Empire, it is more difficult than ascending to the sky.

"Okay. Your Excellency, I see. The Kingdom of the Netherlands would have given up receiving compensation from the Chinese Empire. "Special Olympics. Prime Minister Hemskelke said helplessly.

Minister Hahausen nodded: "In this case, it is undoubtedly the best. ”

The next day, negotiations continued. At the beginning of the negotiations, Te'o. Prime Minister Hemskelke offered to renounce his claim for compensation from the Chinese Empire.

"For an early end to the war. Achieve peace. The Kingdom of the Netherlands agreed to renounce its claim for compensation from the Chinese Empire, and we agreed to transfer the East Indies to the Chinese Empire for one pound sterling. "Special Olympics. Prime Minister Hemskelke said. Although, he was very unwilling in his heart. But what can he do?

"The Kingdom of the Netherlands can agree, and it is undoubtedly a wise choice." Imperial Foreign Minister Tang Shaoyi nodded repeatedly. What is the difference between the Dutch transferring the East Indies to the Empire for a pound sterling, and giving it to the Empire for nothing? This is tantamount to giving the empire the right to own the colony. In the future, whether the Chinese Empire made the East Indies a colony or incorporated into the Chinese Empire, there was no reason for other countries to interfere.

"Your Excellency the Foreign Secretary, the Kingdom of the Netherlands has demonstrated our sincerity. Well, we hope that the Chinese Empire will also show sincerity. "Special Olympics. Prime Minister Hemskelke said.

"Of course, the Chinese Empire is also very sincere. All but a handful of the Dutch we arrested will be released unconditionally, with the exception of a very small number of people whose hands are stained with Chinese blood. Tang Shaoyi said. Those Dutch, the empire left them behind, it doesn't make any sense, but it may become a destabilizing factor, it is better to let them all return to the Netherlands.

"No, the Kingdom of the Netherlands wants the Chinese Empire to release all the Dutch unconditionally. And, return their property! "Special Olympics. Prime Minister Hemskelke said.

Although, they were not able to get compensation from the Chinese Empire, which made them very unwilling. However, the vast majority of the Dutch in the East Indies were very wealthy. The total value of their plantations or mines, as well as other real estate, is immeasurable. If the Kingdom of the Netherlands had been able to acquire these possessions, it would not have suffered a loss.

"Humph! That's what these Dutchmen had in mind! Tang Shaoyi thought secretly.

"The Dutch in the East Indies, all the wealth they now have in their hands has been taken from the Chinese. Now, they should give that wealth back to the Chinese. In addition, we can only release those Dutch who did not participate in the massacre of the Chinese. All the Dutch who participated in the massacre of the Chinese must be judged by the Empire. Tang Shaoyi's attitude is still very tough.

In this regard, Special Olympics. Hemskelke expressed a stern refusal.

The tough stance of both sides has led to an impasse in the negotiations once again. The attitude of the Chinese Empire was very clear, and all the wealth of the Dutch would be confiscated. Nominally to compensate the local Chinese, in fact, all this wealth will be sold to pay for the Empire's military expenditure. At the same time, the empire will launch attacks on the natives in the East Indies in the future, which will require a lot of money. The empire was clearly prepared to use the wealth of the Dutch as funds for the Empire's development of the East Indies.

The Kingdom of the Netherlands, on the other hand, hoped that the Chinese Empire would release all the Dutch and return the wealth. In this way, the Kingdom of the Netherlands will be able to recover a little of its losses. But unfortunately, the Chinese Empire was clearly not prepared to let them get their wish.

"Governor Frederick has committed suicide, and the Kingdom of Holland does not know about this attack on the Chinese, all of which is Governor Frederick's own initiative. At that time, Lieutenant General Styram's unequivocal refusal of Governor Frederick's order is the best proof of this. As for the soldiers, they were just carrying out orders, and they were all innocent. "Special Olympics. Prime Minister Hemskelke said. Since Governor Frederick is dead, it would be a waste not to put all the on him.

"Humph! Your Excellency Prime Minister, the blame is placed on a dead man, and it is clear that it cannot change all this. Tang Shaoyi shook his head.

On this issue, there were further lengthy negotiations between the Chinese Empire and the Kingdom of the Netherlands. Britain and Germany have also mediated on several occasions. It was not until July 4 that the two sides finally reached an agreement.

On July 4, 4610 (12) of the Yellow Emperor Era, Tang Shaoyi, Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Empire, and Theo, Prime Minister of the Kingdom of the Netherlands. Hemskelke signed the Sino-Dutch Peace Treaty in Singapore. The Peace Treaty provided for the transfer of the East Indies to the Chinese Empire by the Kingdom of the Netherlands for one pound sterling. The Chinese Empire released civilians in the Dutch East Indies, as well as military and government officials who were not involved in the massacre of the Chinese. As for the government officials and military personnel who participated in the massacre of the Chinese, they had to be tried by a special military tribunal of the Chinese Empire.

All the Dutch who participated in the massacre of the Chinese did not end well. Either they were sentenced to death or life imprisonment, with only a very small number of people being sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment. The number of Dutch who were shot alone was in the hundreds, and the number of Dutch sentenced to life imprisonment was even greater.

The signing of the Sino-Dutch Peace Treaty represented the justifiable acquisition of ownership of the East Indies by the Chinese Empire. The wealth left by the Dutch in the East Indies could be used as the starting capital for the Chinese Empire to develop the East Indies.

The Dutch kingdom also claimed that after arduous negotiations, they had succeeded in rescuing the captured Dutch, which was a victory for the Dutch kingdom. As for the other voices, they were completely ignored. The loss of such an important colony by the Kingdom of the Netherlands is naturally a very heavy blow to the national strength.
