Chapter 930： Java Islands

The French army lost a total of 26 main battleships in this battle, more than half of the losses. Twenty of them were sunk on the spot, and a few were too badly damaged and abandoned.

There were 21 main battleships captured by the Chinese Army, and nearly 60 transport ships and auxiliary boats were all captured.

There were only four French warships that could escape.

In terms of personnel, the French army killed more than 2,000 soldiers in direct combat, all of whom were navy.

There were nearly 8,000 captured, including more than 3,000 naval soldiers, 3,000 army soldiers, and more than 1,000 other various personnel.

At first glance, the loss did not seem to be particularly large, and less than 10,000 people were lost.

On land, in any battle, there is more than this loss.

However, these are all technical arms.

Cultivating a qualified navy is much more difficult than cultivating a qualified army.

Especially the artillery, the crew members of the steam engine, and the navy generals, these are even more precious.

There are also those ships whose value is even more immeasurable.

After this naval battle in France, the navy lost one-third of its power directly, and it hurt the bones.

The army will lose one-third of its strength, at least about 200,000 people.

Jakarta, Ames looked at the dejected captives, so happy.

He hadn't forgotten the arrogant look of the French messenger before him.

Ames came to Sean and mocked: "Didn't you the Emperor of France say you want me to regret it? Why don't I regret it now, but your emperor wants to regret it."

"Even if our emperor regrets it, it is only regret that the act hastily led to the failure of the hegemony, but for you, even the motherland is gone."

Shaun didn't reply, but Dalyvy on the side sneered at each other, struggling with each other.

One of the two parties became a prisoner, and the other lost the country. It should have been a combination of crying and comforting each other, but at this time it was tearing each other's scars, and there was no winner.

Although Ames felt pain in his heart, he refused to admit defeat.

"Motherland, I am now a great Chinese, and my motherland is extremely strong and majestic. And France, your allegiance, will sooner or later flatten Majesty."

Ames said.

"Being a dog can also make you feel superior. I admire you very much."

Dalyvy said.

"You have something not as good as a dog."

Ames kicked Daliwei on top of him, but he couldn't say that he could only do it with his hands.

As a prisoner, Daliwei did not realize that he was a prisoner. He wanted to fight back when he was beaten, but he was beaten by Ames' men.

It wasn't until Lin Wancheng noticed the commotion here that Ames stopped.

These are all vignettes, Lin Wancheng didn't take it seriously.

Defeated the French army and also took over Jakarta, this time it can be said to be a complete victory.

On the one hand, they reported good news to the country, and on the other hand, they asked the country to deploy some reinforcements to completely control the Java Islands.

Ames previously only controlled Jakarta and Bandung, and controlled less than one percent of the Xenopus Islands. All other places are currently indigenous, with a small number of outsiders.

There are few Dutch people, unable to eat the whole Java.

But Dahua is different. If they want to eat the entire Java Islands, there is no problem, just a little trouble.

These natives are divided into countless large and small tribes, and it is not easy to achieve complete rule over these tribes.

There are actually two ways to deal with these tribes. One is what Ames is using to deter those tribes by force, so that those tribes dare not confront them.

And then through trade, to realize the exploitation of these tribes.

For example, using an iron sword to exchange a few tons of food or a large amount of spices is an unequal transaction in short.

With absolute force and trade pricing power, they can easily exploit them.

This kind of rule is actually extremely fragile, and it cannot even be regarded as a complete rule of these places.

Those aborigines have always maintained their independence, will not integrate into the local colonists, and it is difficult for them to be assimilated.

However, this method of governance has the lowest cost and the highest early profit.

Dahua doesn't like this. They are prepared to adopt another method with higher cost but higher follow-up benefits.

That is to directly control the management of those tribes. At least, the leader of the tribe must be designated by Dahua.

In this way, those who want to become tribal leaders will listen to Dahua's words wholeheartedly, and Dahua will be able to smoothly implement various policies, such as the promotion of Chinese characters, planting techniques, and so on.

The great Chinese come to give orders to these uneducated indigenous people, and it is easy to encounter resistance. But if the leader of their tribe came to give the order, it would be much easier.

Therefore, it becomes very important to control the leaders of those tribes.

But wanting to master the power of appointment and removal of tribal leaders will definitely arouse strong resistance from those tribes.

Those ordinary natives may be stupid and uncivilized. But those tribal leaders can only say that they are ignorant, but there are not many fools. They are definitely not willing to become puppets.

The clawed frog archipelago is actually very large, plus Papua New Guinea, the total area has exceeded 2.5 million square kilometers.

The population is actually very large, at least not less than 20 million, but because there is no decent civilization, the sense of existence is very low.

Such a big place is still broken into small islands, and there are some primitive aborigines that are difficult to communicate with...

To complete the effective rule of the clawed frog islands, the difficulty is not lower than that of conquering Fusang.

It is naturally easy to attack these tribes. Those tribes with primitive weapons cannot be opponents of the Chinese army.

However, how to maintain the rule of this region is a headache.

It is impossible for Dahua to leave managers in every tribe. That kind of cost is too high.

Lin Wancheng doesn't need to worry about this kind of headache, it's a civil servant's business.

He only needs to use force to force the natives to yield first.

At least, for Jakarta and Bandung to be fully controlled, these lands must be in the hands of Dahua.

Only in Dahua's hands can these land be used effectively.

The soil here is made up of volcanic ash after volcanic eruption. It is very fertile and does not require fertilization for planting.

Moreover, there are many rivers, abundant water sources, and the equatorial zone. Rice is grown three times a year.

In short, there are all the conditions that are conducive to agricultural development.

If the old peasants on the yellow land come over and see this black land, they will be able to run away in tears.

This place is handed over to Dahua’s immigrants, and Dahua’s people can use advanced planting techniques and hybrid rice seeds to turn this place into Dahua’s large granary in Southeast Asia.
