Rosberg was also secretly glad that fortunately, he had withstood the pressure during this period and did not allow these people to do whatever they wanted, which made the situation so bad that it was uncontrollable. Now it seems that being a human being really requires leaving more paths for himself.

From then on, the atmosphere on the entire Java Island changed drastically, and the overseas Chinese who stayed seemed to have returned to the time when the East China government protected overseas Chinese. Whether it was the colonists or the indigenous people, they were polite to overseas Chinese and respected them much more. Some people also returned the snatched overseas Chinese industries and compensated a lot of money. Rosberg also released all the left-behind personnel of the Zhang family in Java, and repeatedly explained to them that he was actually protecting them by custodying them, and there was no other meaning.

However, hundreds of overseas Chinese died in the early stage, and the indigenous tribes that committed the crime were in panic all day long, and some people rescued Rosberg, who could only spread their hands and said, "It would be easy if no one died, but if someone died, I have no choice but to pray to God."

However, after these 2 or 3 months of experience, both the overseas Chinese who stayed in Java and the overseas Chinese who evacuated with the East China government have left deep memories and their understanding of the East China government has become deeper. It can be said that in this era, only the East China government can and is willing to protect the overseas Chinese; and the East China government does what it says and does what it says; in the future, it must also trust the East China government. Therefore, the left-behind overseas Chinese on the entire Java Island are also waiting for the return of the East China government. The East China government did not ask them to wait too long, and soon sent a fleet back to Java, which will naturally be warmly welcomed by overseas Chinese.

After the landing troops landed, they immediately began to set up camps and positions. Qian Guoyu, the commander of the landing troops, also held talks with Rosberg. Qian Guoyu first affirmed what Rosberg had done in the past 2 or 3 months, protected most of the Javanese overseas Chinese, and expressed his gratitude to Rosberg on behalf of the East China government. Rosberg also wiped his cold sweat.

Qian Guoyu then stated that the East China government had reached an agreement that the Dutch government was about to sign a treaty, so the East China government had no intention of changing the status quo in Java. The fleet arrived in Java just to make preliminary preparations for overseas Chinese to return to Java. In addition, once the East China government and the Dutch government signed a successful contract, the army could disturb the implementation of the content of the treaty. He also hoped that Rosberg could cooperate. Rosberg also hurriedly stated that he would do his best to cooperate with the People's Army to fulfill the treaty signed by both sides.

But Qian Guoyu's words changed, believing that although Rosberg protected most of the overseas Chinese, a small number of overseas Chinese still died. The People's Army was obliged to avenge these tragic deaths, hoping that the colonial government would not stop them. In addition, although the lives of most overseas Chinese were preserved, the industry was robbed, so Qian Guoyu asked the colonial government to assist the overseas Chinese in retrieving their assets.

Of course, Rosberg knew that requesting the colonial government's assistance was just a polite statement from the other party. Whether it was retaliation against the indigenous people or the acquisition of the assets of the overseas Chinese, the East China government would not have dealt with others at all. After protecting the overseas Chinese in Java, the People's Army had less than 200 troops in Java, but it was not ruthless to fight the indigenous people and never took the position of the colonial government. Now it is taking advantage of the victory of the Taiwan Strait War and there is no scruples, so you must not take it seriously.

Of course, it is necessary to pretend to behave on the surface. Rosberg also said that he would definitely investigate relevant matters strictly and preside over the Chinese in Java.

After the talks, Qian Guoyu returned to the port and immediately began to distribute the People's Army's base to occupy key points and quickly controlled the area provided by the Zhang family.

After all the landing troops arrived ashore, the fleet did stay in the port for only three days, and after replenishing water and food, it set sail and left the port of Java, leaving only a few transport ships transporting the landing troops.

In fact, the East China government promised that the fleet would leave Java in three days, just to make a favor, because Java basically had no sea power, so as long as the landing troops could go ashore.

The landing troops have three regiments, with more than 10,000 people, and are equipped with a large number of mortars and machine guns. The firepower is quite considerable. The commander Qian Guoyu is familiar with the environment in Java and has a certain connection among the colonists. The Zhang family has been operating in Java for decades and is well aware of the situation in Java. Moreover, the overseas Chinese in Java also fully support the People's Army. Therefore, relying solely on the landing troops, one can completely control the situation in Java. Moreover, the colonial government dares to act rashly.

The fleet is actually not very useful in its place to stay in Java, and in the end it can only play a little bit of power unless the East China government wants to conquer Java by force. Therefore, after the landing troops landed on the shore, the fleet actually has no need to stay in Java.

After the Netherlands was settled, the next target of the East China government was France. Therefore, before departure, the Admiralty Department formulated a plan. If there was no force required to land in Java, the fleet would change to attack the French colonies on the Indochina Peninsula after a brief rest in Java and bombard the colony's ports and coastal cities. The primary target was Saigon.

Saigon is the Ho Chi Minh City in later Vietnam. It is located in the southeast of Vietnam, in the Mekong Delta region. The lower reaches of the Saigon River, a tributary of the Tongnai River. Due to the dense water network in this area, large sea boats can enter along the estuary of the river. Therefore, in the era of great navigation in the 16th and 17th centuries, it became a major port trade center in southern Vietnam.

After the Opium War, France invaded Vietnam and signed the [First Saigon Treaty] in 1862. Vietnam ceded the Jiading Province, Dingxiang Province, Bianhe Province, the three provinces and the Kunlun Islands to France. Due to the superior location of Saigon and excellent ports and very convenient water transportation, France set up the Vietnamese Governor's Office in Saigon, and in order to better integrate the colonies occupied by the corps occupied by the corps, Saigon carried out a relatively comprehensive modernization of the provincial government, which was indeed invested in port construction.

Although after the Sino-French War, the Qing Dynasty recognized France's right to protect Vietnam, and then France signed the [Second Hue Treaty] with Vietnam, formally established France's protection rule over the entire territory of Vietnam. In 1887, it merged Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia to form the so-called French "Indochina Federation" and moved the Governor's Office from Saigon to Hanoi. However, after more than 20 years of French operation, Saigon has become the largest city in the entire Indochina Peninsula and the most important port, and was called "Eastern Paris" by the French. Therefore, if the East China government attacked Saigon Port, it would be a heavy blow to France.

After leaving Java, the fleet sailed for 3 days and arrived at the Saigon waters, and anchored near the Kunlun Islands, about 160 kilometers away from Saigon Port, preparing to raid Saigon Port at night. Saigon Port is one of the few ports that have both rivers and seas. Although it is about 45 kilometers away from the sea outlet, this section of the Saigon River is wide and deep, and can enter and exit ships above 10,000 tons during high tide.

Although the travelers have information about Saigon Port, it was Saigon Port more than 100 years later, and it is still very different from now. The Yueyang ship first released a large drone to reconnaissance the terrain and deployment of Saigon Port from the air.

Saigon Port is arranged along the banks of the Saigon River, with more than 10 docks on each side. At this time, most of the berths were docked, almost filling the entire port. Most of them were naturally French merchant ships, and a considerable number of British merchant ships.

It turned out that at this time, the East China government's maritime interception was against Britain and France in Asia. Many British and French merchant ships did not dare to go out to sea in the waters of East Asia and Southeast Asia, so they had to park in the port. There were also many passing British ships. They were afraid of the East China government's interception and did not dare to sail anymore, so they hid in nearby ports. Saigon Port is the largest port on the Indochina Peninsula, and naturally accommodated a large number of ships.

However, although Saigon Port is a commercial port, its defense is not bad at all. After all, the funds transactions conducted at Saigon Port every day are as many as millions of pounds. The huge wealth naturally requires heavy troops to protect. The French built 4 turrets on both sides of the estuary of the Saigon River. Each turret is made of concrete and stone, which is very strong. The firepower is centered on two 280mm caliber cannons and 2 200mm caliber cannons, and 8 150mm caliber cannons. The total number of artillery in the four turrets exceeds 160, which is quite powerful. In the rear of each turret, there are also troops of one company to protect the turret.

At the same time, there is also a garrison fleet in the Port of Saigon, consisting of 4 cruisers and 4 destroyers. However, the cruisers are all small protective cruisers below 3,000 tons, and their combat effectiveness is not strong. The main task is to attack pirates in addition to cruise and escort. After all, Saigon Port is not a military port, and it also has strong shore firepower, so there is no need to station a huge fleet here. The French naval force in the Indochina Federation is mainly stationed in Cam Ranh Bay.

However, compared with the British Far East Fleet, France's maritime power in the Far East seems much shabby. There is not one battleship, and the main force is two large armored cruisers. Although the French Navy's tonnage reached the second largest in the world, it is somewhat unreal. Because France has only 12 battleships as the main battleships at sea, Germany, the United States, and Russia before the Far East War, owned no less than this number of battleships. The French Navy's tonnage was mainly driven by a large number of small and medium-sized protective cruisers and destroyers.
