C1818 Borneo Arguments (1/2)

Fang Dong's character was more inclined towards politics, and Wu Haoran was more inclined towards the martial general form.

Under Fang Dong's introduction, the entire Borneo and even Nan Yang's economic situation slowly surfaced. This further proved the brilliance of Xiao Letian's previous strategy.

The Chinese did not exist in Nan Yang in a day and night. In the long period of time, the Chinese controlled more than half of the wealth in Nan Yang.

At that time, the Nanyang Chinese did not rely on the Home Country or any other external forces to establish their own country in the Borneo, and had written that the Qing Government wished to submit to them. Whether it was in the name of the Subordinate States or the overseas provinces, these isolated Chinese people all hoped that the Home Country could accept them.

It was a pity that the dryad did not acknowledge these people's efforts, and did not think that they were Chinese citizens.

Without the Home Country's support, it would be difficult for the small countries overseas to survive. However, it was not impossible for them to live their lives, after all, compared to the indigenous people, the Chinese people were much more civilized.

It was a pity that the European colonists had started to infiltrate the Southern Ocean on a large scale. The Portugal and the Netherlands had their own English and French after them, and these colonists had joined forces with the natives, who were easier to control, to attack the Chinese.

This was the root cause of the Chinese power's rapid decline in the South China Sea.

The history of the Nanyang Chinese was a history of suffering. Survival in the cracks could only be found in industries that the Europeans were unwilling to do, and industries that the natives could not do.

Tin ore, rubber, agriculture, gold mining, spices... All of these industries have Chinese silhouettes, but unfortunately, the Chinese can only be the middle link.

The Europeans made the most lucrative sales segment themselves, and the most difficult production, planting, and organizational management were all done by the Chinese. Of course, the Europeans wanted to support the indigenous tribes to replace the Chinese, but the level of civilization was simply too low to compare with that of the Chinese.

”This is more awkward! Europeans fear that the Chinese will grow up, but they cannot leave our administration, and the natives still have to cling to us and suck blood. This is the true economic structure of the South China Sea … ”

Fang Dong let out a long sigh, ”It's not hard to fight these aboriginal monkeys, they are not our match in a real battle, but don't forget that these people are soldiers and civilians of the tropics. Their life belief is that if you want to steal from a starving person, you have to steal from them …”

”We can't change their character even if we beat them ten thousand times, and mass killings can make Europeans wary... In that case, how do we develop our economy? ”

Fang Dong sat up straight and said with a deep voice, ”Leader, although it looks like we have won this battle on the surface, Belait and all the other reclamation area s have already delayed the production of food for half a year …”

”Because of the war, large tracts of farmland have been laid waste, and the rice stocks have been rapidly depleted. Right now, it's all thanks to the help of the Chinese people from other regions that we can persevere to this point …”

”But how long can we last for when it comes to aid? In the final analysis, we need to resume production in the second half of the year, so that the Bohai Mud Province the leader mentioned can be self-sufficient! ”

”Now that the indigenous monkeys are afraid, we should take the lead in restoring our economy. Once the rice growing industry is restored, not only will we have food and drinks, we can also bring in more indigenous people to work, letting them eventually depend on us. Letting them leave our economy means starvation. This is the ultimate solution to the indigenous problem!”

Xiao Letian was stunned. He frowned and said, ”You thought of all these?”

Fang Dong nodded his head before shaking it, but Wu Haoran rushed to say, ”Senior Brother believes in Buddha, when I was at the tyrant's time, I frequently went to the Nanshan's Earth Repository to pay respects to Buddha, where is that …”
