Immediately after the signing of the Sino-Dutch Peace Treaty, the Empire announced that from now on the East Indies would be incorporated into the Chinese Empire. Among them, Kalimantan and surrounding islands became Laemfang Province, Sumatra and surrounding islands became Jinzhou Province (Jinzhou is the ancient Chinese name for Sumatra), Irian Island and nearby islands, including Sulawesi, became Nanyang Province, and Java Island became Java Province.

The Chinese Empire's announcement of the annexation of the East Indies caused an uproar throughout the world. The Western world has even set off a theory of the China threat, especially the Dutch, who have lost the East Indies, are very unwilling, and they have repeatedly slandered the Chinese empire in the international community, advocating that the external expansion of the Chinese empire is a provocation to civilized society and a threat to the Western world. They hoped that the Western world would unite and work together to contain the Chinese Empire in order to help the Chinese Empire retake the East Indies.

However, the hope of the Dutch is undoubtedly extremely slim. At this moment, the contradiction between Britain and Germany has become the most important contradiction in the Western world, and many countries in the Western world have begun to stand in line or maintain a neutral attitude. Under such circumstances, naturally no country would be willing to respond to the call of the Dutch to jointly deal with the Chinese Empire. In many countries, they only gave some spiritual help to the Dutch, or verbally condemned the Chinese Empire. If the response is to get them to put it into action, it is simply not possible.

Japan, the Chinese Empire's neighbor to the east, was both jealous and worried about the Chinese Empire's annexation of the East Indies. The envy is that a territory with an area of more than 1.9 million square kilometers has been annexed by China, which is already six times the total territory of Japan. If Japan can acquire this territory, then Japan's take-off is undoubtedly just around the corner. The fear was that the Chinese Empire would grow in power after annexing the East Indies. If Japan wants to defeat the Chinese Empire, it will undoubtedly be even more difficult.

Some Japanese even wonder if the government's strategy is wrong. If the Japanese government had initially aimed to move south, perhaps they would have seized the East Indies. Compared to the Netherlands, a small country that is in decline. Japan's national power is undoubtedly much stronger. Of course, it is useless to say these things now. The Chinese Empire and Japan were already in turmoil. The contradictions between the two sides have long been irreconcilable. Even if Japan wanted to ease relations between the two sides, it would be impossible. The Chinese Empire would never allow a powerful Japan to appear by its side. As the so-called couch place, can others snore? Only a weak Japan was what the Chinese Empire wanted to see. Therefore, even if Japan does not want to fight, once the Chinese Empire is really strong, it will definitely not let Japan go. This forced Japan to prepare for war with all its might. In the event of failure. I am afraid that it is possible for them to even destroy the country and extinct the species.

Immediately after the annexation of the East Indies by the Chinese Empire, the East Indies were developed. The imperial government began to recruit immigrants to the East Indies throughout the country. Compared to the Northeast and Siberia, the East Indies are undoubtedly in better condition. In addition, the first batch of immigrants to the Northeast and Siberia have all lived a good life, which has long made the people in the country red-eyed. Therefore, after the imperial government began to solicit immigrants this time, countless people enthusiastically signed up, and in less than a month, tens of millions of people signed up.

After an investigation by the Ministry of Civil Affairs of the Reich. It was proposed to Emperor Wu Haoxuan that the population of immigrants to the East Indies could be controlled at about 40 million to 50 million. Although, it looks like a lot. But in fact, the land of the East Indies is fully capable of supporting these people, and it is even possible to feed more people. However, with the migration of 50 million people, this is undoubtedly a vast project. It is absolutely impossible to do it in a short period of time. After all. You must know that the total population of the British Empire itself is not yet 50 million.

Emperor Wu Haoxuan agreed to the Ministry of Civil Affairs' resettlement plan, but the entire resettlement project is estimated to take about ten years. In the remaining months of the year, find a way to emigrate one or two million to the East Indies. Starting next year, we will strive for no less than five million immigrants every year. That's the case. Within a few years at most, the Empire would be able to take full control of the East Indies. The entire East Indies will be crowded with Chinese. In the same way, the crisis of overpopulation in the country can be alleviated. Especially in the Yellow River Basin, the ecological environment of the Loess Plateau is almost collapsing. You can get time to recuperate. Perhaps in a few decades, the ecology of these areas will be restored.

For the empire to begin large-scale immigration to the East Indies and start the development of the East Indies, there is a job that must be done in advance. That was the clean-up of the natives of the East Indies. As of today, there are more than 40 million indigenous people in the East Indies. Most of these natives are very poor. They do not produce, or because of low levels of productivity, they are unable to meet their basic requirements through farming. In addition, these natives are lazy by nature, as long as they do not starve to death, they are satisfied, and have no other pursuits. Therefore, these natives are simply wasting such a rich land.

Emperor Wu Haoxuan issued an order to the Admiralty, since the Admiralty took the initiative to take over the task of purging the natives. Then, they must complete the eradication of the natives as soon as possible.

The Minister of the Navy, Marshal Sa Zhenbing, has ordered the 1st and 2nd Divisions of the Imperial Marine Corps to begin clearing the natives of the East Indies according to the plan. The other three Marine Divisions are also speeding up their formation, and after next year, they must go to the East Indies to exterminate the natives.

When the Dutch ruled the East Indies, they only controlled the coastal areas. In fact, the vast inland area is under the control of the indigenous people. However, these natives were divided into large and small tribes, which did not belong to each other and could not form a whole, so they could not pose a threat to the Dutch. In addition, these natives are also hostile to the Chinese. Therefore, the natives are willing to become the dogs of the Dutch and oppress the Chinese, so that these natives are willing to be at the mercy of the Dutch.

Now that the Empire is in control of the East Indies, the situation of these natives is miserable. A large number of natives living in coastal areas were captured by the Imperial Marines. The fierce soldiers stormed their homes, grabbed all the natives, and took them away. Regardless of men, women, and children, they were all arrested. It's just that the vast majority of indigenous women are pitch black, and they lose their appetite when they look at them, but there are no incidents of rape and adultery among women. Of course, it is impossible to know whether some soldiers with heavier tastes did such things in private.

The Imperial Marines captured the natives, separated men, women, and children, and put them in prisoner-of-war camps. These prisoner of war camps are all newly built improvised prisoner of war camps. The young and middle-aged natives were taken away as soon as possible, and they were sent to build houses, roads, docks, etc., for the Chinese immigrants. The old natives, along with the female aborigines and the younger ones, were sent to clear the fields.

In the process of capturing the natives by the Imperial Marines, they were also met with fierce resistance. However, these natives were greeted by the guns and bayonets of the Imperial Marines. Many natives who dared to resist were directly killed. The empire did not treat these natives as human beings at all, and they were ordered to kill without mercy. Under such circumstances, no one would care about the lives of the natives.

In just half a month, millions of natives were arrested. Under the watchful eye of the overseer, he began to do heavy labor. Most of these overseers are local Chinese. They are familiar with the languages of these natives, and they also have this bitter hatred for them. If they were to be the overseers, it would be possible for these natives to be lazy.

As a result of the hard work of these natives, settlements were built one after another. Uniform houses and paved roads have been repaired, and as soon as immigrants from the country arrive, they can start a new life immediately.

The infrastructure of the East Indies was very backward, and after the empire ruled here, it was necessary to build roads and railways, which would undoubtedly be a huge amount of money if all the empire invested in them. Even if the empire can come up with this huge amount of money, it will have a huge impact on the industrialization of the empire, which is not in the interests of the empire.

However, if these indigenous people are used as annual labor, it can save a lot of money. Factories with little technical content, such as cement plants, can be built first. The claimed cement is then used in infrastructure construction. In this way, you can save more time and more money.

The Empire's plan for the development of the East Indies began to be implemented step by step. With a large number of indigenous people serving as free labor, the development of the East Indies was completed very quickly. A large number of roads, railways and ports were built. As a result of these indigenous efforts, a large number of mines also began to produce a variety of ores, which would be transported by rail and road to the ports and then transported back to the country to contribute to the industrialization of the empire.

The East Indies soon became prosperous. But again, these prosperity is built on the history of blood and tears of the indigenous people. Of the 40 million natives, the vast majority of them were reduced to the efforts of the Empire, most of them were exhausted to death, and there were very few who escaped the pursuit of the Empire.
