Section 77 The Wealth of the Dutch
Jakarta, Japan Southern Expeditionary Force Headquarters.
Originally, the Japanese Southern Expeditionary Force headquarters was in Singapore, but Singapore was too remote and could not command the entire Southeast Asia battle, so Yamashita Fengfu moved the headquarters to Jakarta. The construction here was also very good. The Dutch colonists also enjoyed it very much. When they captured this place, they almost did not waste any ammunition. When the Dutch saw the Japanese devils' flag, they surrendered directly. For them, they had no more of their own country. Why sacrifice their lives for the colony? This is a bit unworthy, and all those officials followed the British to retreat to Australia. All those who remained were ordinary soldiers and low-level officers, so they didn't want to fight to the death.
It is precisely for this reason that after the Japanese devils occupied the entire Jakarta, the city area here was almost not damaged, and all the huge buildings built by the Dutch were left behind. The Japanese devils were also very surprised when they saw all this. The Dutch occupied this place for hundreds of years, and it can be said that they had fully enjoyed it for hundreds of years. Look at these large white marble buildings. I originally thought that Europe only had these things, but now it seems that it is not inferior in Southeast Asia. Some places are even more luxurious than Europe. There is no way. They have plundered enough locally and must make their lives better. But what the Japanese devils did not expect was that they were so good!
Of course, the Japanese devils didn't want these things, but the various money they had looted by the Dutch colonists in the local area. Unfortunately, the Dutch colonists had long transported these things back to Europe, part of which fell into the hands of the Germans, and part of them were transported to the British Isles.
It was because the Japanese devils got a news that there was still a very important wealth of the Dutch in Jakarta, so they marched to attack here in a hurry. Unfortunately, when they captured this place, they found that there was nothing in these huge buildings, including those in the database, where did these valuable things go? Several low-level Dutch officers were shot and found out where the money had gone. All of them were taken away by American destroyers, and finally all of them arrived in Australia. This was also the last order of the Kingdom of Dutch. The senior officials here knew that the destroyers were not here to pick them up, but to pick up these treasures. If these treasures were not allowed to be uploaded, I am afraid that the orders they received were to defend the Netherlands to the Netherlands. It was precisely because they handed over the treasures that the Queen of the Netherlands gave them was to retreat to Australia and assist the Americans there to prepare for the counterattack.
This money cannot be restored to the Queen of Dutch, but it can make her live a better life in England. Although he is the Queen of the Netherlands, what is the situation in Britain now? He should be very clear that if he wants to live a good life in England, he has to rely on his own ability. When they retreated, although they brought a lot of money, the prices in Britain were too high, and they could not rely on the British to support them. It is already very good for the British to provide them with some basic food. This time, the wealth in the colony came to Australia, which was a disguised helping the British. The Queen of Dutch's life in England was indeed improved a lot.
Yamashita Tobuki was extremely angry when he learned about this! For him, if he could not get anything, what's the use of these beautiful buildings? These things cannot be eaten, drunk, and even more so they cannot be transformed into the combat power of the Great Japanese Empire. If he had told the Japanese Emperor, the luster of the southern dispatched troops would have faded a lot, so he carried out a large-scale search in the local area. After all, Jakarta was a big city during the Dutch colonists' rule, so there were many rich people in this city. When he retreated, he could only let the dignitaries here retreat, and not let everyone retreat. After nearly a week of robbery, the Japanese devils still received nearly 20 million US dollars of various property in Jakarta, which was also considered as an explanation for them.
However, 20 million US dollars sounds a lot, but for Japan in the war, it cannot be changed much. The Japanese devils just compensated China with 60 million US dollars of valuable assets. The whole country can be said to be in a state of grief, so they must find an updated financial source. The most important point is to find the latest energy, which is the most important thing.
So now the Japanese devils have turned their attention to the oil fields in China in Southeast Asia, Kuala Lumpur Special Zone. Such a small place can actually find oil fields, which makes the Japanese devils feel unhappy. They have occupied the entire Southeast Asia region. In theory, there should be oil fields around. Exploration experts from the University of Tokyo in Japan have already dug several wells around, but in the end there is nothing in the exploration.
Speaking of which, it was because the Japanese devils were lucky. Mao Yuanshan was very concerned about the Japanese devils' exploration, so he ordered his spies to monitor them comprehensively. You should know that the Japanese devils were digging wells that were a few hundred meters away, which was a very important oil well in Malaysia. Unfortunately, these few hundred meters made the Japanese devils miss the oil.
What Mao Yuanshan feared most was that the Japanese devils really drilled into oil, which would be a huge disaster for the whole world. During World War II, what Japan lacked the most was oil and steel. It was precisely because of this reason that Japan could not continue the war. Many people said that the Japanese devils could not continue because of the American atomic bomb. In fact, this is wrong, mainly because the Japanese devils saw it clearly, and no matter how hard they tried, they could not win.
In the absence of guns and cannons, there is not even the ammunition and oil for the plane to take off. Why should we fight against the Americans? If the Japanese devils had sufficient oil and ammunition, it would be a very difficult speculation on when the Second World War would end!
Therefore, Mao Yuanshan is very concerned about the Japanese's every move about energy. If the Japanese devils are allowed to obtain energy production, the entire historical direction may become another way.
