Basically, if the Javanese army fired a shot from the shadows, and the Dutch machine guns opened fire, the Javanese resistance fighters would have no choice but to flee for their lives.

The Dutch army that suddenly landed was even more outrageous.

They went straight for grenade launchers and mortars; their firepower was far more exaggerated than that of the original Dutch.

Even more outrageous, a terrifying monster appeared in this army. Its sense of smell and hearing were more terrifying than a dog's, and it was extremely ferocious. Its reaction speed was also ridiculously fast, making it difficult for bullets to hit it.

Under such multifaceted oppression.

Within just one day of landing, the army's controlled area had advanced over a hundred kilometers into the island.

During this period, many rebel groups within the controlled areas attempted to hide among civilians.

But they soon realized that this was not a good option.

In the past, when the Dutch army occupied ordinary towns, they would at most conduct a large-scale search and kill a few people as a deterrent.

The newly emerged "Dutch army" simply gathered them all together, then drove them toward the port, eventually boarding giant cargo ships that were already waiting at the shore.

By the time these Javanese came to their senses, they had already been transported to East Nusa Tenggara, more than 400 kilometers off the southwest coast of Sulawesi.

As for resistance? Faced with the dark muzzle of a gun, the Javanese chose silence.

Throughout the entire process, because Dutch and German are very similar, even Javanese who understood Dutch did not realize that the main composition of this army was not Dutch at all, but German.

It wasn't until the third day, when this strange Dutch army occupied the entire southeastern Sulawesi, and Governor Josi officially declared his rule over Sulawesi, that the outside world learned what had happened in Sulawesi.

They were also surprised by Josh's speed of action.

Josie was officially recognized by the Netherlands, a fact known throughout Europe.

European and American countries have not reacted much to this, and it's obvious to everyone that there's something fishy going on here.

On the other hand, the Russians, upon receiving this news, immediately relayed it to the Javanese resistance forces.

The Javanese army received this message just a few days ago.

The problem was that the Javanese military had received information that Josie's Margot had only departed from Austria a week earlier.

At the normal pace, it would take Josie at least a month to reach Java.

The army he hired should have just finished assembling by now.

After all, it's an army of 100,000.

With people and equipment, who knows how many transport ships will be needed and how long it will take to get them to Java.

According to estimates from Javanese people, Russians, and even European and American countries, this war will not start for at least half a year.

But what about now?

It's only been a little over a week, and Josie and his army have already landed in Sulawesi.

You can fly, you idiot?

Ah!

It definitely flew there.

However, only Austria and Blackwater International have detailed knowledge of the specifics.

Then there's Australia, which acts as a transit point, and the United States, the coordinator—we can guess a little bit about that.

The others, such as Spain as the intermediary, Portugal which leased the island, and even the Dutch, were all unaware—the Dutch also had troops stationed in several major cities in Sulawesi, but they only found out what had happened when Josie arrived with Dutch troops as well.

Even the United States and Australia only know that the people were indeed transported by plane, but they don't know how the equipment got there.

This made outsiders feel that Josie's actions in Java were not a spur-of-the-moment decision, but rather a long-planned scheme.

The war between the Dutch and Javanese only started last year, so how could Josie have planned it for so long?

...Wait, Josie is American, and Blackwater International is an American company.

This army is equipped with all active-duty American weapons. Although the US military has upgraded its equipment very quickly after the war due to Josie, the speed of equipment replacement is not as fast due to factors such as production, funding, and transportation. Therefore, many US troops stationed overseas are still using equipment from the end of World War II.

Consequently, European countries, including Russia, as well as the Netherlands, the nominal new sovereign state of Josie, all placed their suspicions on the United States.

Because, in the eyes of countries around the world, only the United States, with its enormous transportation capacity, could transport such a massive amount of military equipment and armed forces to Java in a short period of time.

This has led to a significant drop in goodwill towards the United States, especially among high-ranking Dutch officials.

Good grief, if you want Java, I'll just give it to you directly. It's just a few islands. It's not like I'm unwilling to give it to you. Why do you have to go through all this trouble and beat around the bush?

The Pacific Fleet is right there, and you wouldn't help me when I asked you for help before. Are you kidding me?

So it's because you don't want to bear the stigma of colonialism?

However, the Dutch were only dissatisfied in their hearts; in reality, they were actively cooperating with Blackwater International's mercenary group in their operations in Sulawesi.

Only the Republic of Java, as the party involved, took this matter to the UN General Assembly.

Java, despite its self-proclaimed independence, is not internationally recognized and therefore not a member of the UN General Assembly, thus it is not qualified to participate in the General Assembly.

However, after independence, India, which aspires to become the number one power in South Asia, and Russia, which wants to bring independent Java into its camp, have been very active in this matter.

They brought this matter to the UN General Assembly to attack the United States.

It was only then that the United States finally realized that it might have to take the blame for Josh's personal actions.

However, the US side still cannot explain this matter.

Because even if you explain it, you still need to convince other countries.

Especially before the war, Josie did indeed privately sign a 30-year port lease agreement with the U.S. military regarding Sulawesi.

Therefore, unless the United States completely abandons all its interests in this region and severs ties with Josie, no one will believe his explanation.

Given Josie's influence in the United States, coupled with the actual benefits the US would receive, it was practically impossible for this to happen.

So the United States, which had just become the leader of the Western world, also became stubborn and simply refused to explain.

If you think it is, then it is.

Seeing the United States, as the leader, make its stance clear, the UN General Assembly, along with many European countries including the United Kingdom, has remained silent on the matter.

The French representative wanted to say something, but he immediately shut up after seeing the murderous look in the eyes of the Dutch representative.

Although the Netherlands and France have a history of conflict, and the Netherlands was even annexed by France at one point.

But that's all in the past.

Since the beginning of the 20th century, the two countries have mostly maintained a semi-alliance relationship.

For example, when France built the Maginot Line, the Netherlands, for its own defense interests, contributed significantly, which was one of the reasons why Germany later attacked the Netherlands, a "neutral" country.

After World War II, the two countries also cooperated very closely in the economic field.

On the issue of colonies in Asia, Britain, France, and the Netherlands held even more consistent positions.

Especially now that the French army is also bogged down in South Vietnam, if they disagree with the Netherlands on this matter, what difference is there between that and contradicting themselves?

The United States and other Western countries have remained silent on this matter, but the Russian-led camp and India are not so sure that they will let it go.

Therefore, the General Assembly, as a "neutral" global institution, still issued a question to Josie and Blackwater International.

Josh completely ignored this; he wasn't going.

Aldo was simply sent as Blackwater International's representative to deliver a document to the Russian representative.

So at the hearing the following day, the Russian representative changed his tune, defining Josie's entry into Java as a local armed conflict, in which the General Assembly was not suitable to intervene.

Although the countries in the Russian camp were surprised by their leader's sudden change of attitude, they figured whatever their leader said was fine, since Java, that godforsaken place, had little to do with them anyway.

The bear shut up.

The rest of the UN General Assembly is still going on and on, except for India and a few South Asian countries.

But in this era, nobody cares about them.

Aldo, who attended the hearing, quietly wrote down the names of these countries in his notebook, intending to give them to Josie when he got back.

It's said to be several, but there are actually only three.

India, the Philippines, and Myanmar.

Great! A few days later, Josie, who was sunbathing in Sulawesi, smiled as she looked at the countries that Aldo had documented. She smiled very happily.

"Boss, Sir Bell is here!" Vito reported to Josie as he walked over from a distance.

"What's he doing here?" Josie asked, putting down the documents in her hand.

Sir Louis Bell, full name Louis Bell, was the Governor-General of the Dutch East Indies at the time.

He was also the highest-ranking military and political official of the Netherlands in the Java region.

In terms of administrative rank, the other party is nominally slightly higher than Josie, the governor of Sulawesi.

But in name only, it was still just in name. Josie commanded an army of over 100,000, and the Dutch dared not point fingers at him.

“If there are no surprises, it should be about our forced relocation of the Sulawesi indigenous people!” Vito replied with a shrug.

“Yes, they’ve been coming to us for a while now. Let them in!” Josie nodded in agreement.

Josie frantically transported the indigenous people of Sulawesi eastward to Nusa Tenggara, an area that was largely untouched by Dutch rule and of little value, so the Dutch may not have realized it at first.

However, as time goes by, although the people sent there cannot return to Sulawesi due to the Blackwater Legion's interception, they will definitely gradually spread to other areas.

Therefore, Josie had already anticipated that the Dutch might come knocking on their door.
