Chapter 718: Windmill Country's Actions
A high school somewhere in Batavia
"Liu Minggang, Wu Xuzhi..."
As the teacher called out name after name, the faces of the Chinese youths present began to darken. All the people whose names were called today were Chinese.
"Listen up, everyone. From today until this day next month, you won't have to come to school. I'll explain the specific reasons later, and your families probably already know. Now hurry home and follow the patrolman at the door. He'll bring the notice back home. If there's no notice, you won't have to come back to school after next month."
A Javanese native school principal said that although they were also invaded, in their eyes they were still much superior to the Chinese.
How can we see this? Because the colonists of the Windmill Country allowed them to join the police and the army, but never allowed Chinese people to enter these places.
Therefore, in order to improve their lives, local Chinese have no choice but to go into business.
In theory, this is nothing, as having money can also influence the superstructure. But the problem is that this is a colony of the Windmill Country. When the Chinese became rich, the colonists of the Windmill Country came up with a solution, which was to stir up relations between the local indigenous people and the Chinese, and then create social unrest, allowing these people to rob the Chinese of their wealth in rounds.
Under such circumstances, a lot of the Chinese's wealth was robbed, and there was no way they could improve their social status. Instead, the colonists gained the greatest benefits. The local indigenous people were also willing to do so. They knew that the colonists were lying, but if they didn't rob, how could they get rich with their brains?
"Mr. Principal..."
"Shut up. Now is not the time to ask questions. Line up at the door immediately and let those patrol officers take you home."
The principal did not give the students any chance to ask questions. Instead, he threw down a word and asked the people at the gate to open the door. Dozens of patrolmen came in from outside.
"We want an answer. Why are we being asked to go home? Are we being placed under house arrest?"
Young people are full of vigor and vitality. Even if they see the patrolmen with wooden sticks tied around their waists, they have nothing to be afraid of.
Several students have already discussed that they will have to rehearse in the next few days and then go to the port to welcome our fleet. For Chinese students in Southeast Asia, that is something they can only dream of, but at this critical juncture, the school actually gave them a long vacation and let them stay home.
Unfortunately, there was no response. All of them, including some Chinese teachers in the school, were driven out and escorted home one by one under the supervision of patrol police. If they disobeyed, many of them had their heads broken and their school uniforms stained with blood.
Wu Xuzhi's family runs a plantation and has more than a thousand local indigenous workers. Normally, they are doing okay, but after spending a lot of money, they can also gain some social status.
But the situation today was obviously different. The patrolman on the road was transferred from other places. The patrolmen who took his money had disappeared long ago. This man was unreasonable. If you walked slowly, he would hit you with a stick. Wu Xuzhi also felt pain in his back. He was beaten for talking too much on the road.
When he returned home, he was about to call out a few of his servants to teach the patrolman a lesson. After all, they had done similar things before. As long as they did it carefully, the patrolman would not say anything. It would just cost some money afterwards. The Chinese in Southeast Asia have no other advantages except that they have a lot of money.
But when he arrived at the door, he found several patrolmen standing there, waiting for him.
When passing by these patrolmen, he saw that they were holding seals in their hands. Are they going to seal us all up?
"What do you mean?"
When Wu Xuzhi was about to snatch the seal, several servants in the family immediately pulled him back. Now was not an ordinary time. All the people in the family were driven back. Just now, his eldest brother wanted to seek justice, but the eldest son of the Wu family had his head broken. These patrolmen were not locals, and they were very cruel.
Fortunately, Wu Xuzhi was pulled back. If he had not been pulled back, he would have been like his elder brother, with a head covered with scars like an Indian and stars in his eyes.
The Chinese do not have a high social status in the local area, but for these wealthy people, the patrolmen dare not act recklessly. The reason why they replaced the patrolmen from other places was because the colonial authorities knew about this and were afraid that the indigenous patrolmen would take money, so they replaced them with patrolmen from other places.
"What the hell is going on?"
When Wu Xuzhi saw that his elder brother and brother-in-law were beaten, he thought of his own back and felt a chill in his heart.
"The domestic fleet is coming. The Windmill Country authorities are afraid that we might cause trouble, so they've sealed off all the major Chinese families in their homes and cut off their phone lines. When I came back just now, the Zhao and Qian families were in the same situation."
Boss Wu covered his head and said, "There were partners in the office. They were directly escorted back by these patrolmen. Boss Wu still remembers the look in their eyes at that time. What's the use of having money? Even if you have money, you still have to accept such humiliation."
When they reached the door, he had the same reaction as his brother: "I haven't broken any law. Why are you guys putting a seal on my door?" He had just pushed a patrol captain, and then he got hit on the head with a wooden club. Luckily, his younger sister is a doctor. Otherwise, he'd be in grave danger if he were sealed up at home.
"Turn on the radio, turn on the radio."
Just when the family was at a loss, a man ran in from outside. There must be news on the radio.
"The Chinese are required to leave their homes, purchase anything, or go on picnics for a month."
A broadcast came from the radio, and the first thing it said was that you couldn't leave your home. The entire house was guarded by patrolmen. If you needed anything, you could ask the patrolmen to buy it for you, but you would have to pay the same errand fee.
The second problem is that communication is interrupted. If you want to do anything, you can only write letters, but you have to pay some running fees, and the letters have to be inspected.
The third and most terrible thing is that every morning, all registered Chinese members must gather at the door to be counted by the patrol officers...
