Chapter 426: A Huge Disparity in Strength

At the time, Alexander William Frederick Edinburgh, the Count of Edinburgh, served as the Governor and Commander-in-Chief of the Dutch East Indies.

Although it seemed that he had a firm grip on both military and political matters, only Governor Alexander himself knew that his days were actually not that easy.

Even though the Dutch enjoyed a superior status in the Dutch East Indies, this meant that Governor Alexander had nearly 40 million slaves to oppress under his rule.
