“Count Kahn, I think we need to have a serious talk about your forced relocation of the Sulawesi natives!” Sure enough, after Governor Bell entered and exchanged pleasantries, they got straight to the point.

“Sir Bell, I don’t think there’s anything to discuss on this point. Sulawesi is my private territory, which is recognized by the government. I don’t like having people I don’t like on my territory, and they are originally subjects of the kingdom. So I’m returning them to the government. There shouldn’t be anything wrong with that, right?” Josie answered very calmly in the face of the other party’s question.

“But Sir Kahn, this will have an extremely negative impact on the kingdom’s rule, and there is a possibility that a large number of rebels are hidden among the people you are migrating. You are creating trouble for the kingdom!” Sir Bell was clearly surprised that Josie was so arrogant and stubborn on this issue, and immediately frowned as he spoke.

"No, Sir Bell, quite the opposite, I think my measures are perfect!" Josie said quietly. "Java is such a large region, which is actually very disadvantageous for the kingdom's rule. Military forces are too easily dispersed. But in reality, not every one of Java's many islands is of great value. In that case, why don't we drive those annoying rebels to those less valuable areas? As long as we blockade the important shipping lanes with the navy, those backward natives can't possibly swim across the sea, can they? Besides, aren't they seeking independence? Then let them be independent!"

Josie's words left Sir Bell completely stunned.

Is this even allowed?

“If you are interested, you can take a look at the history of the westward expansion of the United States, as well as the history of the migration of Native Americans and the reservation system... Well, these materials may not be easy to find, after all, they are a bit inconvenient, but as a colleague, I can provide you with some relevant materials, which I believe will be enlightening!” Josie initially wanted to suggest that Sir Bell and the Dutch high-ranking officials learn from how the Americans dealt with Native Americans.

However, these days, information regarding the United States' policies toward Native Americans is top secret.

After all, it was a scandal, especially since the Dutch had basically withdrawn from North America by the end of the 17th century, and they didn't really know much about or care about the deeds of the Americans.

The reason why there are relatively clear related materials in later generations is that they were gradually collected by people in civil society after the rise of the civil rights movement.

So Josie simply sent the relevant materials to the other party so that the Dutch could study them carefully.

Whether the Dutch will do that or not is their own business; in any case, they will absolutely not leave any natives in Sulawesi.

The last two chapters served as a transition, and the Indonesian content in the next chapter will come to an end, followed by new content. Also, the ruins are a foreshadowing, which will be the starting point for the next stage of my story, so please be patient.

Chapter 200 Wakanda Remnants

Josie's use of the Native American example can be seen as opening a new door for the Dutch.

As a long-established European power, the Netherlands' top leadership quickly devised a plan called "one island, one country".

The plan was simple: to support the leaders of the various tribes on the Javanese islands to become "kings".

Like the primitive tribes of Africa and the Native Americans of the Americas, the Javanese people originally existed as various primitive tribes.

The emergence of the independent and unified ideology was mainly due to the progressive intellectual class who, under the influence of the Dutch, had been nurtured by Western culture.

The majority of these social classes were located in the major cities under Dutch rule.

On the numerous islands of Java, there are still a large number of tribes, and if you break it down, there are more than 300 ethnic groups!

The differences in religious culture are enormous.

So if the Dutch were willing to do it, it would actually be very easy for them to split the entire Java region.

However, the Dutch in the past were so focused on ruling the entire Java region that they overlooked this point, which in turn promoted the integration and unity of the various Javanese ethnic groups in various ways.

But it's not too late to realize it now.

After the policy was set, following the advice of Louis Belle, the Governor-General of the East Indies, the Dutch royal family recognized the independence of more than two hundred “countries” at once.

Among these so-called "independent countries," the smallest population is only tens of thousands.

This policy, which is clearly intended to divide the entire Java region, is obviously aimed at something that is very simple and brutal to anyone with discerning eyes.

But it is also very effective.

Because everyone has ambition.

The leaders of these recognized "independent states" were actually tribal chiefs who had long cooperated closely with the Netherlands. Although they had been exploited by the Netherlands in the past, they had also been using the power of the Dutch to maintain their rule to some extent.

He himself is also an opponent of the so-called Republic of Java.

However, in the past their strength was weak and they were not valued by the Dutch authorities.

But things are different now. They have gained recognition from the Netherlands and are now the legitimate government.

Furthermore, the Dutch government has promised to engage in fair trade with these "countries".

What kind of fair trade is it?

They could use their resources to exchange for Dutch arms—primarily limited to light weapons, of course.

However, even these extremely poor Javanese tribes could hardly afford heavy weapons.

In addition, in order to maintain the "peace and stability" of the Javanese countries, the Dutch also formed a large number of small rapid reaction fleets, focusing on combating maritime "smuggling" and illegal armed forces.

The so-called illegal armed forces are undoubtedly the Javanese Army.

If any "country" is attacked by the Javanese Republic's army, it can immediately call for support from the Dutch or Sulawesi fleets... Of course, this support is not free.

As an archipelago, it is much easier to blockade and divide up an archipelago than to a land-based one, as long as control of the sea is secured.

More importantly, the Netherlands' policy of one country, one island has direct support from the United States.

The Pacific Fleet has even stationed itself in the Java region, a stark contrast to its previous stance.

The sudden change in the United States' attitude was certainly not due to Josie's influence alone.

Rather, it stems from the influence of numerous established American conglomerates, including the Sports Social Clubs Council and the Chicago Consortium.

The reason why these people suddenly became so eager to push for American intervention in Java is quite simple... Josie showed them a map of Java's resource distribution.

Why will Java become the leading economy in Southeast Asia in the future?

It's because its resources are so abundant.

Oil, natural gas, coal, tin, copper, and so on.

Especially in oil, at the beginning of the 20th century, before the oil fields in the Middle East were developed on a large scale, Java's oil once accounted for a quarter of the world's production.

At that time, Java oil was controlled by Shell, a joint venture between Britain and the Netherlands, and the United States could not intervene.

This is also why Americans were not very keen on continuing Dutch rule over Java.

But in fact, the oil reserves discovered before World War II only accounted for a very small portion of the Java region.

The resource distribution map that Josie presented was based on the Java resource distribution map provided by Lawrence in 2035, and then confirmed by the NS robot to be a large resource point that still exists.

Any one of these mining sites is incredibly valuable, enough to make the most famous conglomerates in America today extremely wealthy.

Josie knew very well that these resources were far beyond his reach, and most of these areas were still under Dutch control.

So he simply sold it to a number of American conglomerates, which can also be seen as an explanation to the United States for taking the blame for him this time... Anyway, it was never his to begin with, so he won't feel bad.

Moreover, this would not only make it easier for him to consolidate his rule in Sulawesi, but the whole of Java would also gradually become a "nation of all nations".

Reunification will be extremely difficult.

While the entire Java region was bustling with excitement, Josie was leisurely discussing a deal with Yuri regarding Jurassic Park.

If Josie wants to build a complete Jurassic Park, then Yuri is naturally the most important trading partner, since only Yuri has dinosaurs.

Oh, no, there are dinosaurs in Azeroth, where Little Abidis is located. But that's in terms of Azeroth's power system. Dinosaurs that live there would probably be hard to keep under control.

It's easier to find the more primitive dinosaurs.

However, despite Josie and Yuri's long history of dinosaur trading, in the past, apart from a small number of modified Velociraptors used for reconnaissance, the main business has been dinosaur meat. This is the first time they have engaged in large-scale live dinosaur trading.

"Actually, I really don't understand the point of you opening a Jurassic Park like this," Yuri commented on Josie's behavior.

“Life doesn’t need so much meaning, Lord Yuri. Our lifespan has been greatly extended now, there’s absolutely no need to push ourselves so hard!” Josie said somewhat lazily. “For many things, as long as you find them interesting, that one reason is enough.”

Just like Lawrence, in previous transactions, Josie also traded the Fountain of Youth to various trading partners in different dimensions.

Of course, little Abidis is an exception; if he drinks this stuff, the little guy will never grow up.

Therefore, for the time being, the trading partners do not need to worry about their lifespan.

Especially Yuri, who is actually quite old, definitely an elderly person.

So after coming into contact with Josie, besides being engrossed in his research, he was also in a rather urgent state, wanting to accumulate enough strength as soon as possible to return to the original era and take revenge.

Therefore, aside from transactions, he rarely talked to Josie about trivial matters like Daenerys and Chae Rim.

However, the appearance of the Fountain of Youth did ease Yuri's sense of urgency somewhat.

You can calm down and talk to Josh more.

But he simply couldn't understand why Josie had put so much effort into creating a realistic Jurassic Park.

Dinosaurs are not without value, but in Yuri's view, apart from basic biological and natural studies, only their genes and leather are somewhat useful, and the rest is just their meat.

In essence, they are not much different from ordinary animals.

It has low breeding value.

As for making money by opening a park? Not to mention that Josie's money is more than enough to spend in terms of Earth's scale, the investment required to build a park would likely take at least several decades to recoup the costs through ticket sales.

But for Josie, creating a Jurassic Park entirely of his own is a very interesting thing.

This is the difference in thinking between different people.

“Alright, although I still don’t understand, you’ve paid the price, so I’ll try my best to help you complete it. This is the first batch of animals, plants, and corresponding seeds. In addition, I have stored all the information needed for domestication in the NS robot format on this data disk. You just need to upload it to the NS robot’s database!” Yuri shook his head and added the materials that Josie needed from his system warehouse to the transaction list one by one, while saying this.

"Thank you so much!" Josie smiled broadly as she watched the system notification that the transaction was complete and the long transaction message appear.

"Don't thank me yet. You'd better find a way to get me the vibranium I need as soon as possible!" Yuri reminded him after the transaction was completed.

For him, the demand for vibranium is considerable, as he wants to build a powerful enough armed force to return to his original timeline for revenge.

Upon hearing Yuri's words, Josie couldn't help but feel a headache coming on. Among all the traders, Yuri had the greatest demand for vibranium. The amount he needed was simply too large. Yuri had already bought up nearly half of the batches of vibranium ore that the Winter Soldier and Carter had brought back.

However, the amount he needs is ten times that quantity.
