My Italy

Italy itself was developing, and of course Borneo as a colony was also developing. Although Governor Antonio is not known for his economics, the good foundation left by the first Governor Kairoli is still there. Coupled with the current good world economy and strong exports from Borneo, Italian Borneo's economy is booming.

Compared with its next-door neighbor Dutch Borneo, it is simply like the sky and the earth. There is no comparison.

However, recently the people of Italian Borneo are somewhat concerned about their next-door neighbors, but the circumstances of their concern are different.

In a teahouse opened by local Chinese in Pontianak, a group of people were chatting with great interest.

"Did you tell me, something happened over there with the red-haired ghost. A man named Chivadan raised troops in Longnawan to resist the rule of the red-haired ghost. I heard that the local government of the red-haired ghost has been defeated. "

A well-informed person is telling the people around him about the breaking news he knows. And his words immediately attracted the attention of many people. And the red-haired ghosts they refer to naturally refer to the Dutch.

"Really, that's great. The red-haired ghost is the most hateful. You should learn a lesson now. This Qivadan is a man."

A middle-aged man dressed as a businessman immediately praised him after hearing the news. It seems that this person has suffered a loss at the hands of the Dutch, so he made such a statement.

But speaking of which, one-third of the Chinese in Pontianak came from the Dutch colonies. Few of these people have a good impression of the Dutch.

Some prudent people frowned and said something after hearing the news. "I'm afraid the red-haired ghost is going to jump now, so won't he send a large army to attack him?"

"We have sent troops a long time ago. It is said that five red-haired ghost warships transported thousands of people to the crusade last month." The well-informed person's information was indeed well-informed, and he immediately told them what he knew.

Upon hearing this, everyone present stopped talking.

"It seems like this Qivadan may be in trouble."

The only one who said anything was the businessman. It seems that among these Chinese, the red-haired Dutchman is still very majestic. It's not that these Chinese are afraid of the Dutch, but the dignity of the Dutch who have colonized Southeast Asia for hundreds of years cannot be underestimated.

Many local chiefs resisted the Dutch before, but in the end the Dutch still ruled here.

Therefore, many things cannot be understood until the end.

Just when everyone was in the tea shop, planning to drink tea and talk about other things, a man suddenly rushed in.

"The latest news is that the Dutch crusade was defeated, and only more than 200 people ran back to Samarin."

This news shocked everyone in the teahouse. Unexpectedly, the Dutch suffered a huge defeat.

"The red-haired ghost, defeated?"

"Tell me what's going on."

The previous well-informed person was immediately abandoned, and this one immediately became the focus, surrounded by stars and stars.

Seeing everyone's eagerness greatly satisfied this person, and then he continued.

"I just heard this news, and I don't know if it's true."

"It's okay, let's talk and listen first."

"Oh well."

Following this explanation, everyone learned that the Dutch army was moving upstream along the Mahakam River, hoping to attack Qivadan who was hiding deep in the Yilan Mountains.

And they were raided and besieged by tens of thousands of rebels in a place called Tabukan, more than 80 kilometers west of Lonnawan. The expedition team was ultimately defeated, and only more than 200 of the 1,000 people retreated to three. Marin.

After listening to the story, the people present were filled with sighs. They did not expect that the Dutch suffered such a big loss.

Hearing this, people became worried.

"I didn't expect this person named Qiwardan to be so powerful. Could that be..."

Knowing what this person was talking about, someone immediately retorted. "No, the Italians are much more powerful than the red-haired ghosts. I heard that the Italians won a battle in Europa and captured more than 200,000 prisoners. They were so powerful. Besides, the red-haired ghosts can't handle this Qivadan. , if replaced by Yiren’s army, we will definitely succeed.”

The rebuttal immediately resonated with everyone. Many people have their businesses here, so you can't scare yourself. So he immediately transformed into Zhuge Liang and directed the country.

"That's right. If Chivadan can win, it's because the red-haired ghost is going against the will of the people. If he dares to come to our side, he will be seeking death."

While the people in the city were surprised by the Dutch defeat, Antonio in the Governor's Palace was also concerned about the battle.

However, unlike the Dou Sheng people, Antonio has more detailed information.

"The Dutch army had 217 killed and 531 wounded and captured. So there were only more than 200 people who escaped back?"

Antonio looked at the man in front of him who was wearing civilian clothes but looked like a soldier and asked.

"Yes, Your Majesty the Governor. The Dutch suffered very high losses in this battle."

Hearing the result, Antonio nodded with satisfaction. "So, what about the loss of Ziwardan's men?"

"It's not good. In the battle of Tabukan, more than 600 people were killed in Qivadan, more than 300 people were seriously injured, and more than 400 people were slightly injured. At present, it has reduced its strength by more than 40%. So this time I will not only come back In addition to the report, Ziwardan also wants us to provide a batch of medicines.”

That's right, Antonio was the mastermind behind the riots in Dutch Borneo. Who told the Dutch to hold on to the Borneo territory and not let go, no matter how much he tried to persuade them, it had no effect. If that's the case, don't blame him for Antonio's dirty tricks.

After more than a year of planning, now let Kitsiniya (Governor of Jakarta) have the headache. I hope the new Governor of Jakarta likes this gift.

"You can give it to him, but the quantity shouldn't be too much. It can only be enough for his troops. You can take it with you when you return."

Antonio agreed to Ziwardan's request.

But since we have taken supplies from Italy, we need to do something, and then Antonio continued. "In addition, when I go back, I will tell Chiwardan that since he has defeated the Dutch army that attacked him, he should take advantage of this window period to develop vigorously. Tambalan, Malinao, and Tarakan can all be the scope of expansion."

The place names Antonio mentioned are all in northern Borneo. Although the population here is not large and the area is sparsely populated, it is still helpful to expand its power.

"Okay Governor, I will advise Chiwardan to develop towards it when I get back."

But before he left, Antonio suddenly asked. "What do you think of this Ziwardan?"

As Antonio's choice to carry out the riot, how could he not know who Ziwardan is. I'm asking now just to know if his attitude has changed. After all, people will change, especially as their strength develops, he is afraid that some people will have any thoughts that they shouldn't have.

In response to the Governor's inquiry, the officer replied. "Before I came back, Chivadan and most of his subordinates treated us with respect."

"Okay, go ahead and do your work."

After sending away the officer who served as a staff officer next to Ziwardan, Antonio started writing. For this kind of thing, he needed to ask his old friend about the recent situation in Rome. As a man who cared about the kingdom, Antonio was still very concerned about the situation in Rome.
