The Big Bang and the Dutch's night counterattack led to the complete collapse of the Mass-Battle Blue Army. More and more news came to Batavia. Some people claimed that they saw Susuhunan breaking his legs by shells, and some people directly said that his Majesty was burned to ashes by the flames of the explosion. Of course, all this has nothing to do with the United States. The United States has fulfilled its secret agreement with the East India Company. It is time to urge the East India Company to provide returns.

On the second day after the collapse of the horse fighting the Blue Army, a United States army composed of 1,500 Marines and 1,000 armed sailors landed on Java Island. This was the manpower drawn from the escort fleet. Within three days, a land brigade landed, causing the number of United States army on Java Island to exceed 6,000.

On the day of landing, the Marines burned down all military supplies left by the Madalans outside the city, and controlled the main traffic routes from Batavia to Java Island. In fact, it blocked the pursuing Dutch army outside the city. Li Mingxun would not rely on the promise of Vandimen alone. He believed more in the swords and guns in his hand. The landing of the Marines ensured that Vandimen's original conditions must be fulfilled, whether true or false, or two brigades would arrive to completely destroy Batavia.

Five days later, the squadron led by Gao Mingyi raided a small harbor on the southern coastline of Java and captured the two moored treasure ships. This was a military operation defined as a raid. The agreement with Vandimen would not appear in any official and unofficial documents.

Immediately afterwards, the United States and the East India Company signed a peace agreement and reached the Treaty of Batavia.

During the armistice agreement, Vandimen expressed his apology to the United States on behalf of the East India Company. There were two apology. One, indiscriminately, attacked the United States' colonies in southern Africa and provoked this war. The East India Company assumed all the responsibility for the war and carried out compensation. In addition to the United States' losses in South Africa, it also had to compensate the war costs, totaling 5.4 million taels of silver. (Excluding the three million, and this compensation treaty was recognized by the next governor, but the compensation was carried out in seven years, with a total principal and interest of seven million)

The second apology was about the southern part of Taiwan. The East India Company apologized for invading the Ming territory of Taiwan and handed over Taiwan to the United States, and stipulated that all documents about this place in the future would be called Taiwan, not Formosa or Formosa, which would legally recognize China's sovereignty over Taiwan.

After publicly acknowledging the failure and bearing the responsibility for war and compensation for war, Vandimen issued an armistice order to various places and issued a handover order to the cities of Trincomari and Jelanzha. The same order was transmitted to South Africa. All ships and personnel under the East India Company retreated. At the same time, Harus organized a fleet of twenty-eight returning sailboats in Ambon, loaded with various spices from the spice archipelago to go to Taipei for trade. Vandimen fulfilled all his promises before his death.

Until the end of March of the seventh year of Yongli, when all dust fell, the plenipotentiary representative and the next governor sent by the East India Company and the next governor, Matt Solko, was fired at the port, and when the salute that welcomed the new governor sounded, Vandimen, who was destroyed by the disease, ended his life in the bedroom with a flintlock rifle.

Matt Sorco, the legendary governor of the Dutch East India Company, is also the one who served as governor for the longest time. Cohen laid the foundation for the East India Company, and Vandimenkang this organization has developed to its peak, and Matt Sorco is the guardian of this colonial empire.

In history, Matt Solko served as governor in 1654 (in fact, there were two more people between Vandimen and him). He served for a total of twenty-four years. During his tenure, he solved all competitors on Java, turned most of the Sultanate in the South Ocean into a vassal of the East India Company, and reached commercial cooperation with the Qing Dynasty. In addition to losing Taiwan, his resume was almost impeccable, but history changed. Once this strongman came to the East, he faced a mess. The East India Company suffered repeated defeats, Vandimen "lost his power and humiliated the country" and Batavia, who made enemies everywhere.

Matt Sorco watched a few people put the body of Vandimen into the sarcophagus in a very contradictory situation. The merits and demerits of this ex need to be ruled by local gentlemen and witnessed by history. Matt Sorco read the entire content of the Treaty of Batavia and felt that everything was destined.

"Your Excellency, Mr. Vandimen said, he left you a letter in the office." Vandimen's servant whispered.

Matt Solco walked into the Governor's office, which was filled with all kinds of documents as usual. On the blank desk, there was indeed a letter. After opening it, there was only a line of words left on it - Dear Lord, for unity, please blame me for all sins and give all the credit to my colleagues, God is with you.

"Please inform Mr. Cologne that I will attend the funeral of Vandimen. In addition, please ask Cologne to take care of Vandimen's private property, and these legal property will be sent to his local family." Matt Sorco said.

In the afternoon, Matt Solco, who had just settled down, walked into the conference room symbolizing power. He sat in his main seat, facing all the members of the East Indies Commission, and said, "Vandimen alone assumed the full responsibility of going to war with the Chinese. His wisdom should be our highest respect, but for unity and for the company, please continue to describe him as a traitor in his report to the gentlemen.

Now, let's discuss the war with the British!"

Matt Solko almost completely accepted all of Vandimen's policies. He only proposed more conditions before signing the peace agreement, but these conditions were more cooperation than confrontation, such as increasing the share of East India Company's purchase of raw silk and sugar in Taipei, releasing Dutch merchants, and protecting their human rights and private property. All terms were just to prove the authority of the new governor. Li Mingxun did not blame him and was effectively resolved after the two sides compromised.

As it turned out, what Van Dimen was worried about did not happen. Governor Matt Sorco, who took over him, was a real politician like him. He knew how to weigh and choose. Although he blamed everything on Van Dimen, he took care of Van Dimen's family and private property. Matt Sorco spent two months ending the Sino-Dutch War with Li Mingxun, and the two sides organized several emissaries to come to the various colonies of the East India Company to declare the end of the war. The orders of the two governors were almost exactly the same. Even though Djot and other generals still had delusions, they would obey in the end.

When winter in the southern hemisphere was about to pass, Cologne walked into the Governor's office again. This young man with great political and diplomatic talents was also recognized by the new Governor and was able to continue to serve in the East Indies Commission, while several mediocre people such as Marion were sent back to their homeland.

Cologne's success was not aimless. Under Vandimen, he showed enough merit. After the new governor took office, a small incident also made him recognized by Matt Sorco. With the end of the war, the United States set up a diplomatic embassy in Batavia again, and the influx of Chinese businessmen became arrogant and manic because of the victory of their own troops. This was in sharp contrast to the timid and timid Chinese groups in Batavia before the war, which caused xenophobia to the Chinese in Batavia. This emotion, which was originally suppressed by Vandimen's iron-blooded policy, would be a disaster.

Matt Solco knew very well that the Chinese group was not trustworthy, but Batavia City was still inseparable from them at this moment, and it could not cause new disputes due to xenophobia. At this moment, Cologne stood up and seized a mad Chinese businessman and used detailed legal terms to hold him accountable for tax evasion, fighting and contempt of the local church. Everything was open, including the trial, and the facts were clear, the criminals pleaded guilty, and even the Chinese Embassy could not find fault. Cologne took this opportunity to establish the authority of the East India Company.

After that, Cologne went to the city of Western Australia to hand over the anti-smuggling crew of the West India Company that caused the war, and paid the atonement.

"Cologne, my friend, you're back." Matt Solco smiled and stood up when he saw Cologne knocking in.

Cologne bowed slightly and said, "Governor General, fortunately, everything has been handed over."

"How about that city in Western Australia?" asked Matt Sorco.

Cologne said: "What a platinum city."

"Why, does the Chinese gold originate from?" Matt Solco was stunned.

Cologne shook her head repeatedly: "No, it has nothing to do with gold. The platinum I mentioned is wool and cotton! I only stayed in the city of Western Australia for three days. It was a good small town with a complete defense system and less than a thousand residents. But it was just an external window for the Chinese Australian colony. I heard from those who were sentenced to labor camps in the West India Company that some of them were exiled to a place called Longcheng, which was the capital of the Australian colony.

There, the Chinese already owned hundreds of thousands of sheep and 100,000 acres of cotton fields (actually exaggerated. By the seventh year of Yongli, Australia had only less than 20,000 sheep and about 30,000 acres of cotton fields). They also had forts, forts and shipyards.”

"The Chinese have found a colony that is invincible." Matt Solco said enviously. Suddenly, he raised his head and looked at Cologne: "Cologne, how do you think we should deal with it?"

Cologne shook her head repeatedly: "No, Your Excellency, the war has just ended, and we can't provoke any disputes anymore. Moreover, these two colonies have a complete defense system and a sufficient population. Like Cape Town in South Africa, they are all hard bones."

Matt Sorco smiled: "No, I don't mean to be provocative. Do you know, Cologne, during the two months you left, I checked all the strategies for China left by Lord Vandimen. Do you know, what is the best strategy?"

"The best? I don't know much," Cologne said.

Matt Solco said: "The best thing is to maintain the existence of Southern Taiwan, Cologne. I heard that a few years ago, the United States was interested in buying Southern Taiwan at a high price. The local gentlemen were also satisfied with that price, but Mr. Van Dimen refused because he realized that the fall of Southern Taiwan into the hands of the United States would be of great benefit to the expansion of its strength. Although most of the time, Southern Taiwan needed subsidies, it was almost worth mentioning from the restrictions imposed on the United States."

Cologne nodded slightly and said, "But now the situation is different from before."

Matt Solco understood what Cologne meant. The United States is a behemoth now, and limiting the rise of this country is no longer something that the United East India Company can do. He said: "You are right. Limiting is impossible, but we cannot sit idly by and watch its free development. We should cause him some trouble."

"Trouble?" Cologne frowned slightly. In fact, after the Fitzheimer incident and the Sino-Dutch war, Cologne was already a little timid. He could not see through Li Mingxun and did not know what the East India Company policy was, so he annoyed this person and a new round of war broke out.

Matt Solco said: "I mean, peer-to-peer development."

Cologne said: "How to do it specifically?"

"The United States can colonize Australia, we can, they can colonize South Africa, and we are equally qualified. In the Batavia Treaty, Governor Vandimen rejected the term "definition of spheres of influence" proposed by the head of state. If that clause takes effect, South Africa and Australia will not have the chance to colonize, but now we can also colonize." Matt Sorco explained.

Cologne thought, "I don't intend to blame your decision, but I think we do not have the high efficiency of the United States in developing colonies, especially those in the east of South Africa. Your Excellency, the United States has many resources that we do not have, especially human resources. Before attacking Cape Town, who would have thought there were already so many residents there? The same is true in Australia. The employees of the West India Company said that with tens of thousands of people in Dragon City, it is a remote continent far away from the route."

Matt Solco smiled and said: "We really can't stop their efficient colonial actions, but we can increase their colonial costs."

"Cost?" Cologne was puzzled.
