Hamilton frowned and said, "Mr. Governor, this is probably not a wise choice."

Rosblu sneered and said, "Will Britain allow overseas Chinese to capture Batavia?"

Hamilton shook his head and said, "Of course not. It is absolutely not in the interests of the British that overseas Chinese capture Batavia, but it is also not in the interests of the British that have direct conflicts with overseas Chinese. Moreover, among these two choices, we should have better and more correct choices. However, in this way, although the final result can ensure the interests of the UK, it is probably not a good thing for the Batavian government and the Governor General. I hope you don't force us to that point."

Hamilton's intentions have been very obvious at this point. It is impossible for Britain to stand up for the Dutch colonial government to confront the People's Army. Because Rosblu has something to say, it took a long time before he finally nodded and said, "Okay, I agree to negotiate with overseas Chinese."

Hamilton nodded and felt relieved. Although Britain had a plan, once the Dutch colonial government refused to negotiate, it would control Batavia and establish a colonial government to negotiate with overseas Chinese. However, in this way, Britain would lose a lot of points in diplomacy, because the Netherlands is a European country after all, and can still receive a lot of support in public opinion. In the just-concluded Boer War, the British opponent was only the local colonial descendants of the Netherlands, but this had already put Britain in a very passive state in diplomacy. Therefore, it would be better for the Dutch colonial government to negotiate with overseas Chinese. So Hamilton said: "Mr. Governor, this is a wise choice."

Rosblu smiled bitterly and said, "Mr. Major General, but I still have one condition."

Hamilton said: "Please say it."

Rosbru said: "I require this negotiation to be held under the auspices of the United Kingdom, and the British will send people to participate in the entire process of the negotiations." Although he knew that Britain had sold the Dutch colonial government, Rosbru knew very well that in the negotiations with the East China government, the colonial government had no useful card to play, and could only be slaughtered by the East China government. It is certain that it would bring Britain in, and it would be more helpful to the colonial government and less losses.

Hamilton nodded. This request is of course a good thing for Britain, so he said: "Of course, as long as there is no objection to overseas Chinese. Then please ask the Governor General to formally notify overseas Chinese as soon as possible."

The next day, after receiving the request from the Dutch colonial government to negotiate to resolve the Java crisis, the senior generals of the People's Army were also very happy. After all, the East China government is not able to occupy Java now, so the war is almost done to this point, and it is over. The next thing to consider is how to end the war and fully collect the dividends brought by the war. Then negotiation is of course the best choice, and this is also a plan that had been determined before this action.

So, Shang Jinfeng, the commander-in-chief of the Overseas Chinese Protection Operation, immediately replied to the Dutch colonial government, saying that the People's Army is willing to immediately cease the war and start negotiations, and suggested that the negotiations be held in three days, and the location could be located in Batavia. Moreover, the hope that the Dutch colonial government would be sent to participate in the negotiations by the British, and he was not opposed to the notary. Because since the Dutch colonial government made this request, it means that they must have negotiated with the UK, and even opposition was not very meaningful. Moreover, the time travelers had a basic understanding of the attitude towards the UK and were not too worried. Anyway, the time travelers already had a account of the results to be reaped, and no matter who they negotiated with, they would have to get them. At worst, they would turn against the UK.

However, the People's Army also put forward two requirements: First, Batavia immediately lifted the blockade, allowing residents to enter and exit freely; second, during the negotiations, anti-Chinese incidents are not allowed to occur on Java, otherwise the People's Army will not respect the agreement of ceasefire. At the same time, in order to show the People's Army's sincerity in the negotiations, the bodies of some confirmed colonial officers were handed over to Batavia, including the body of Colonel Martinez.

After receiving the reply from the People's Army, the Dutch colonial government immediately agreed, because Batavia was originally mainly commercial. In the past, it was because of war, so it blocked the entire city, not only to guard against the enemy, but also to prevent people from escaping from Batavia, causing panic in the whole city. Now, since it is a ceasefire negotiation, of course there is no need to block it anymore. At this time, it is no different from being dared to get rid of the Chinese indigenous tribes and seeking death.

Three days were naturally the time for all parties to prepare for negotiations. The People's Army immediately contacted Zhang Zhijun and asked him to go to the dock to negotiate with the People's Army for negotiations with the Netherlands. At this time, the blockade of Batavia City had been lifted, so Zhang Zhijun immediately rushed to the dock after receiving the notice from the People's Army to meet with the monk Jinfeng.

After the two of them met, Zhang Zhijun said, "General Shang, this time you really breathed a sigh of relief for us Chinese in Java. Now in Batavia City, the foreigners who had their eyes on their foreheads were very respectful to us Chinese. Over the past few hundred years, only now have Java Chinese have really been proud."

Shang Jinfeng smiled and said, "There is there, and this time it is thanks to the Zhang family's strong help. First, we have a foothold in Java. Later, Mr. Zhang took the risk of staying in Batavia City to convey the message to us. Without the help of the Zhang family, we would have been unable to do this now. And a few days ago, Mr. Zhang was probably scared a lot. Are foreigners embarrassed you?"

Zhang Zhijun said: "Fortunately, fortunately, what we did was a little trivial thing, which was really not worth mentioning compared to what the people did. Moreover, we were only restricted in Batavia City, and the foreigners did not make it too difficult for us. General Shang was worried about it."

In fact, during this period, the Zhang family was indeed very frightened in Batavia City. Although the Dutch colonial government only restricted the Zhang family's actions, the Zhang family did not know the Dutch colonial government's plans. In addition, there were many rumors in the city, and they were always worried. Some European merchants wanted to embezzle the Zhang family's industries, so they came to make alarmist words. Therefore, the Zhang family's family was indeed worried for a long time. Because a few days before the Dutch colonial government dispatched troops and prepared to attack the farm, it was widely circulated in Batavia City that the People's Army had not been in Java for a long time. At this time, the entire Zhang family was almost in a panic, and some of their families fled the Zhang family.

However, since Zhang Zhijun had an infantry radio station and the People's Army, he had a certain understanding of the situation outside the city and had a little clue. After all, he had seen some storms and knew that it was useless at this time. The better the People's Army fought outside, the safer he would be in the city. As a result, Zhang Zhijun was not only very calm, but also was not polite to those who came to the mansion to ask for politeness. The refusal of the righteous words and stern meaning also stabilized the hearts of many people in the mansion. The Zhang family was able to survive and remained safe, and Zhang Zhijun did play the role of Guan Jian.

After the People's Army defeated the Dutch coalition, the situation in the Zhang family in Batavia was suddenly changed. Because there were rumors in the city that Batavia could not be defended, overseas Chinese would come to the city. Everyone knew the relationship between the Zhang family and overseas Chinese, so they all came to Zhang Zhijun to see if they could establish a relationship with overseas Chinese, or to rely on personal favors to save their lives. As a result, the Zhang family was crowded with visitors for a while, and even many officials from the colonial government came to visit, and Zhang Zhijun was almost too busy. It was not until Zhang Zhijun received a notice from the People's Army that he got rid of these visitors and rushed to visit the time travelers.

Although I was indeed frightened during this period, the Zhang family and Zhang Zhijun really won the bet in this gamble. The Zhang family also found a big backer, so that they can not only develop in China with peace of mind, but also have confidence in the Nanyang area. Zhang Zhijun's performance is also worthy of Zhang Zhenxun's high expectations, and it is called a win-win situation.

Shang Jinfeng said: "Mr. Zhang, we will negotiate with the Dutch in three days. In this negotiation, how can we win enough benefits for the Chinese in Java? We want to invite Mr. Zhang to invite a few Chinese in Batavia. We need people who are highly respected and always look forward to it. After all, you will have to deal with Java in the future. We will eventually leave Java."

When Zhang Zhijun heard this, he was shocked and said, "Why are you leaving?"

Shang Jinfeng smiled and said, "We came to Java this time just to protect overseas Chinese. Therefore, after the negotiations with the Dutch are over, there will be nothing wrong after signing the treaty. We naturally have to go back to Shandong. Moreover, the situation in Java is complicated now, and even the UK has participated. It is indeed inconvenient for us to stay in Java for a long time."

Zhang Zhijun said: "What if the people left, the Dutch and the natives came to oppress us Chinese again?"

Shang Jinfeng said: "Mr. Zhang, please rest assured. We are not leaving immediately. We must handle Java's affairs before leaving. This is not to discuss with you how to negotiate with the Dutch so as to ensure that we can protect the interests of Java's Chinese after we leave."

Zhang Zhijun smiled bitterly and said, "You are good at it, but I am afraid that the treaty is signed well. After you leave, the Dutch will not admit it."

Shang Jinfeng smiled and said, "If the Dutch dares not admit it, we will never agree. We will send a fleet to you then."

After hearing this, Zhang Zhijun nodded. He was not a fool either. He knew that the East China government really could not occupy Java now. It was not easy to be able to do this step now, and he could not ask them to do more. So he said, "Okay, I will find someone immediately when I go back and come to visit the general tomorrow morning."

Shang Jinfeng said again: "Also, now we have hosted more than 10,000 Chinese and hundreds of foreigners in the farm. Since the war is over, living in the farm for a long time is not a long-term solution. They should be sent back to live one after another. However, they are all forced by the indigenous people. Although they have saved their lives, their families have been destroyed. Therefore, it is probably difficult for them to live in peace. Mr. Zhang can help them first to support them in order to live in peace." He paused and said: "This money will eventually be counted on the Dutch people. After the negotiations are over, we received compensation from the Netherlands. We will definitely deliver all the fees from the farm to the Zhang family as much as possible."
