Chapter 933: Confrontation and Cooperation
Although Van Dimen did not understand the advanced academic theories that "war is a continuation of politics", he at least knew that the cost of war was very staggering, and that without money, let alone revenge, even the coastal fortifications now being built in the port of Batavia were difficult.

The next confrontation between the Dutch East India Company and the Matalan Kingdom will probably depend on who recovers the economy faster and can raise the funds for the war in the shortest possible time. This truth is clear to the people of Mataran, and Fan Dimen also understands it, but Yan Chujie pointed it out at this juncture, and this intention is worth studying.
As we all know, Haihan is an emerging maritime tycoon in the Far East in recent years, whether it is maritime trade or maritime armament, the strength is constantly approaching or even surpassing the pioneers, and in recent times there is a faint trend of monopolizing the maritime import and export trade of the Ming Dynasty. Even if Fan Dimen refuses to admit defeat, he is still very jealous of the resources and financial resources that Haihan has, if Haihan chooses Matalan as a trading partner in the South Seas, then the many resources in their hands will definitely bring a lot of benefits to Matalan, so as to quickly enrich its treasury.
Of course, this is still secondary, Van Dimen is more afraid of the "military aid", the big killer weapon in Haihan's foreign policy. I think that Haihan used this as an excuse to support Xu Xinsu in Fujian against Zheng Zhilong, the spokesperson of the East India Company, and finally wiped out the Eighteen Zhizhi step by step, which made the local situation of the East India Company very embarrassing. The two countries of Annam and Champang, which were supported by the Haihan in the Indochina Peninsula, also vented their nostrils with the Haihan and forbade the East India Company to trade locally, depriving the Dutch of an important supply point in the northern route.
The two countries of Annam were nearly 1,000 nautical miles away from Batavia, and although there were some indirect effects, they could be overcome, but if the Haihan provided military assistance to the Mataran Kingdom, the impact on the East India Company would be very direct. The southern part of Sumatra and the central and eastern parts of Java are the territory of the Matalan Kingdom, and Batavia is just a small corner in between, if the Mataran Kingdom colludes with the Haihan to blockade the waters near Batavia, or even launch an offensive against Batavia again, then the Dutch are really weak. The Haihan people didn't even have to participate in the battle directly, as long as they provided enough weapons and ammunition to the Mataran people, it would be difficult to hold the city of Batavia.
Although Yan Chujie said this, although the smile on his face did not decrease, Fan Dimen immediately realized the sinister intentions of the Haihan people. Just to get him to agree to the conditions put forward by the Haihan people, but he refused to give in. Even if war breaks out for this, the company's council will never agree to give up settling past grievances with the Mataran people.
"General Yan, the picture you paint is fascinating, but with all due respect, this simply can't be done. The hatred we have with the Mataran nation must be settled, and the fact that they killed thousands of Dutch in last year's war is not something that can be settled with money. Van Dimen paused and emphasized: "We will do whatever it takes to do this!"
