Chapter 625: The Battle of Batavia Defense

The large-scale rebellion in the Dutch East Indies had attracted a considerable amount of attention worldwide and is one of the biggest news stories in the second half of 1925.

However, this does not mean that aside from Britain and France, no other countries had designs on the Dutch East Indies.

The first to act was the Island Nation. As the country second closest to the Dutch East Indies from its native land, the Islanders had a great ambition for the Netherlands' colony when it came to land and resources.

All of this was because the native territory of the Island Nation was not extensive and resources were relatively scarce, which fueled the Islanders' tremendous ambition for land and resources.
