    Java is still the Dutch East Indies, with its capital in Batavia. Governor Van Valvert is a Dutch aristocrat. Due to the closure of the Dutch East India Company, in order to maintain the Java colony, the Dutch began to try  At the same time, the Chinese and the natives were supported, and the smart and honest Chinese controlled the economy, while the lazy and aggressive natives controlled the land ownership.  By doing this, the Dutch made the Chinese people richer and richer, while the native people became increasingly poorer as their population increased.  As a result, there were frequent vendettas between Chinese and natives in the Dutch East Indies, and the Dutch enjoyed the consequences.

    According to people close to Huang Zhonghan, the reason why the opportunistic Dutch sent Huang Zhonghan to China this time was also because they wanted to monopolize the transportation business between China and the West. They never forgot the glory of the sea coachman in the seventeenth century.

    It turned out that he represented the Dutch government. Wang Maoru said that it was no wonder, but he was very interested in Indonesia. The Dutch rule here was not strong. They relied heavily on the local Malays with low IQs and high IQs.  Chinese, but from time to time instigated both sides to fight and fight.

    The heinous crimes committed by the Dutch against the Chinese were far greater than the Hongxi Massacre and the Jakarta Massacre. Wang Maoru thought about Chinese people like Huang Zhonghan. In fact, he couldn't tell which country he believed in.  Is it the Netherlands or China?  No, I'm afraid these overseas citizens are only loyal to the money in their pockets.

    For money, some Chinese people even dare to make deals with the devil.

    Wang Maoru has never had a good impression of the Netherlands. The destruction of the Lanfang Republic was a miraculous and terrible event.  Moreover, the Lanfang Republic was an independent republic established entirely by citizens' self-referendum. It was wiped out by the Dutch army. The Dutch were afraid of the Qing's revenge and never dared to admit it.  It was not until the fall of the Qing Dynasty that the Dutch announced their occupation of Lanfang Republic.

    "These Dutch devils are up to no good," Wang Maoru thought.

    ¡°But compared to the Dutch devils, he didn¡¯t like the Huang family who framed his own people. But in terms of financial resources, the Huang family was indeed the largest family in Southeast Asia, especially in the rubber industry.  Hwang's subsidiaries have a virtual monopoly on Java's rubber industry.  However, compared to the rubber production of the Philippines, although Java has a larger rubber area, it has numerous ethnic groups and endless civil wars.  In particular, the activities of the Chinese rebels have made Java's rubber production only one-third that of the Philippines, and international rubber delivery has been monopolized by the Americans.

    At this time, the Huang family cannot be abandoned.  Wang Maoru thought to himself.  He also suppressed the anger in his heart and asked Li Muyu to investigate the intelligence of various countries in mainland Southeast Asia.  Li Muyu was a little surprised and said that Southeast Asia has already gone abroad. Does our RNB organization want to develop overseas observation classrooms? In this way, will it be duplicated with the military intelligence department?

    Wang Maoru smiled and said: "Who told you that Southeast Asia is a foreign country?"

    Li Muyu was stunned. Are Southeast Asian countries not foreign countries?  What do you mean?  Could it be said that the president will expand his territory to Southeast Asia in the future?

    "I want to go." Wang Maoru said and hung up the phone.

    Li Muyu smacked his lips, thinking that the president is really an ambitious guy.  It is estimated that in the heart of the president, Donghai.  The South China Sea, Yellow Sea, and Bohai Sea are all China's internal seas.  However, as long as Li Muyu takes a closer look at the current map of China, he will know that Lake Baikal, Lake Balkhash, Lake Issyk-Kul, Lake Xingkai, etc., which were originally foreign lakes on the map, have become inland lakes in China.  Wang Maoru dislikes using rivers and lakes as territorial boundaries. In his opinion, it is best to erect the boundary with a red wall of bricks and wire, so that it is clear at a glance and saves trouble for future generations.

    On the evening of January 7, the 13th year of the Republic of China, Wang Maoru held a presidential banquet at the Presidential Palace of the Republic of China. He invited ambassadors from various countries and major domestic and foreign journalists stationed in China. This was actually Wang Maoru's first public meeting, but it was held in a Western style.  reception format.

    Now China has established diplomatic relations with 20 countries. No matter how many grievances there are with these countries, on the surface everyone always pretends to love each other and is like a family. Ambassadors from various countries expressed their congratulations. Wang Maoru also spoke at the reception and said: "  China is willing to live in peace with the world, and China is willing to become the Switzerland of Asia." Ambassadors from various countries expressed surprise that they did not expect China's President Wang Maoru to love peace so much.

    However, a provocative British reporter asked: "Does China's move show that it is willing to permanently abandon disputed areas, such as Dalian and Port Arthur?" This question is very sharp. The British are obviously trying to sow discord between China and Japan. The Japanese Embassy in Japan  Ambassador Yoshizawa Kenkichi and the others immediately craned their necks and looked over.

    Secretary-General Zhang Kui'an is a little angry. This reporter is too trouble-making. Remember, this reporter will never be allowed to enter China in the future.

    Wang Maoru laughed and said: "The mainstream of the world is peace, and what mankind hopes for most is peace. All contradictions between China and JapanAll conflicts and conflicts will disappear in the future because we have common interests to pursue.  I think if the interests are large enough and big enough, every country will make the right choice, right?  Neither China, nor Japan, nor the United Kingdom, nor the United States will stop pursuing national prosperity.  All governments are established to make their citizens richer and allow people to live in a better world" After a round of nonsense and mud, he finally won the applause of the whole house, but no one understood what he said.

    But Yoshizawa Kenji understood the right choice. Only these five words were the focus of the twenty-minute speech. The right choice mentioned by Wang Maoru naturally also included the choice of war.

    Like Japan going to war!

    Fangze Qianji sneered, Wang Maoru, a martial general, naturally advocates force. He is a soldier, so it is difficult to handle.

    The Chinese people¡¯s habit is to celebrate the Lunar New Year, and the presidential election comes just before the New Year, the Jiazi Year of the Lunar Calendar, bringing more joy to the lively Chinese people.  Many newspapers have published articles to celebrate Wang Maoru's successful election, saying that China has hope for the future and that China will be prosperous and strong in the future.  But not all Chinese people are optimistic about Wang Maoru becoming president. Duan Qirui concluded that Wang Maoru would do some extraordinary things as president, even extraordinary things that he could not even imagine.

    As Duan Qirui expected, President Wang Maoru¡¯s secretary-general and external spokesperson Zhang Kui¡¯an announced a presidential bill on January 10 to add a compensation bill called the Foot-Binding Compensation Law.  According to the research of more than two dozen medical scientists, bound feet of women are actually an artificial way to make healthy people become disabled. In other words, bound feet are a kind of disability.  Therefore, this bill specifically requires that when any girl born after the first year of the Republic of China (currently 13 years old) gets married in the future, the girl¡¯s family must use 50% of the family property as social welfare funds to punish the family for causing social welfare.  Acts of man-made disability.  At the same time, there are also regulations for the man's family. After the man's family marries a woman with bound feet, it creates a social burden on the country and society. They must also pay 50% of the family property as social welfare funds and deliver it to various regions to improve the financial situation of each region.

    In other words, the fines for the bad habit of binding feet are all at the discretion of local governments in various provinces, prefectures and counties. They can invest in various infrastructure construction, improve the treatment of officials, or administrative expenditures.

    With local people governing local people, after all, it is not convenient for the state to intervene in the matter of bound feet.

    Wang Maoru once said on the radio that he would declare war on the bad habit of binding feet, but what he didn't expect was that it would be such a declaration of war.

    This time Wang Maoru spoke on the radio again: "We in China are a healthy nation and a neat nation, but there are still some bad habits that we should abandon. For example, spitting anytime and anywhere, urinating along the street, and binding feet,  If China wants to rise, it must start from the behaviors around us. From now on, we must declare war on bad habits, so that we can achieve the comprehensive rejuvenation of the Chinese nation."

    The comprehensive rejuvenation of the nation is still a bit far away for the common people. Except for some young people who were incited to tears, the rest of the people only know one thing. From today on, you will have to pay for binding your feet.  As a result, those who were banned all over China took off their foot-binding cloths and began to relax their feet. Some old scholars went to the presidential palace to protest against Wang Maoru's fine for foot-binding. The most famous one was Peking University professor Gu Hongming.

    Since it was the school's winter vacation, Gu Hongming also had time, so he ran to the Presidential Palace to protest with a sign in 18 characters: "Seriously protesting against the president's interference with women's feet based on his own likes and dislikes." He is a celebrity in Beijing.  It was Wang Maoru, a colleague from Peking University again, especially since he was valued by cultural figures from all walks of life. As a result, the police could not touch him.

    Wang Maoru had no choice but to ask Zeng Zicheng to talk to him. As a result, Zeng Zicheng was righteously rejected by Gu Hongming, saying that you are a little brat who has never even touched a woman's feet. Don't talk to me about this, you are not worthy.  Zeng Zicheng came back depressed and told Wang Maoru, who laughed.

    Diao Delong, deputy director of the Security Department, said: "President, why don't I go and drive him away."

    Wang Maoru glared and said: "If I can use your method to drive him away, do I still need to ask Zeng Zicheng to persuade him?"

    It was Zhang Kui'an who came up with an idea and said: "How about we trick him in front of the Congress and let him protest there, so that he can be out of sight and out of mind."

    Wang Maoru said: "Dingguo, I leave it to you. You are very good at deceiving people."

    Zhang Kui'an couldn't laugh or cry. Is this a compliment?

    When Wang Maoru saw Zhang Kui'an walking out, he said to Diao Delong and Zeng Zicheng: "I bet Zhang Dingguo can definitely deceive the old man."

    Zeng Zicheng said unconvincingly: "President, this can't be done, that old man is unreasonable."?, that temper is as smelly and hard as the stones in the pit.  Diao Delong interrupted: "It's not a stone, it's just steel in a pit."  "

    "It's a dollar bet." Wang Maoru said with a smile.

    "Okay." Zeng Zicheng also smiled, and Diao Delong immediately shouted: "Count me in, count me in." (To be continued)
