Jakarta is also known as the City of Coconuts. www (_) is the largest city in Southeast Asia. Most of the residents are Javanese, and a few are Chinese, overseas Chinese, and Dutch. The official language is Indonesian. The influence of Nanyang Hongmen here is very important, and Chen Zhantang is more

It is the largest Chinese Chamber of Commerce in Coconut City and the head of the Western Indonesian Chinese Chamber of Commerce. It owns many industries including the Sihanouk Shipyard with tens of thousands of employees. In the past decade, Indonesia's economy has developed rapidly, and the Chinese businessmen are smart, hard-working, simple and dedicated.

Many of them have created a lot of wealth from scratch. Although the way for the Chinese to participate in politics in Indonesia has long been blocked, Chinese businessmen with strong capital have found another shortcut, secretly integrating themselves with many Indonesian political families through cross-share swaps in business financing and other methods.

Tied together, they are gradually expanding the influence of the Chinese. Chen Zhantang and Ye Li are among the leaders. Ye Li bets his money on the authorities, while Chen Zhantang uses the huge black market arms trade to communicate with indigenous warlords and representatives of these people all over Southeast Asia.

The interests of non-ruling parties are closely related.

In a mansion located in Nuwa District, east of Coconut City, Chen Lili is helping Li Huqiu and Shang Nan tutor in the modern history of Chinese Indonesians and analyze the current situation they are facing.

Speaking of Indonesian politics, we have to talk about the Berkeley gang that has been in charge of Indonesia for 32 years. The term Berkeley gang comes from the rule of a group of Indonesian neoliberals who studied at the University of California, Berkeley, sponsored by the Ford Foundation in the 1950s.

Suharto and his family were the leaders of the Berkeley gang in Indonesia for thirty-two years. The New Order political reform he advocated lasted for thirty-two years, changing the situation of extreme poverty across Indonesia, and also brought about a new era for the Suharto family.

It can be said that the power and wealth of the Suharto family was entirely created by Americans, and Suharto himself was a staunch anti-Chinese faction. The most notorious 1965 Blood Bowl in history

The incident that resulted in the massacre of 300,000 Chinese was directed by Suharto's military government after it came to power. However, in recent years, with the acceleration of Indonesia's domestic economic construction, the Chinese have become more and more important in trade circulation and manufacturing. Suharto

The government has relaxed its anti-Chinese policy. My master, Ye Li, has always been a promoter of this matter. For this reason, he has a very close relationship with some people in the Suharto family.

"I'll tell you something that you may not like to hear. Your master is a man who is very good on the outside and empty on the inside. He is not suitable for practical work, especially if it has anything to do with politics."

Chen Lili was not angry and said: "Your evaluation is similar to what my father said."

Li Huqiu continued: "Although he wandered around the world when he was young, he has always been under the protection of Ye Zhenlin and the two Lao He. Apart from studying gambling, he has hardly experienced hardships. He knows the dangers and hardships of the world, but

But he was just talking on paper, but when it came to actual work, his face was not thick enough, and his heart was not black enough. He Bin once belittled him for not understanding current affairs and could only talk but not practice. This is what Ye Dechao would do to his uncle.

The real reason for the article.”

Chen Lili said: "It may not be as bad as you say?"

Li Huqiu said: "I said this just to show his courtesy. Take this Gambling King Competition as an example. Ye Dechao manipulated Ye Zhenlin to launch the competition. The targets were two Lao He in Ao City and Ye Dechao on Gongdao Island.

In order to invite Ye Li to come out, he must have used his golden left hand to win the competition and knock down He Bin, whom he hated the most. In fact, from that time on, he started planning to make Ye Li take a huge blame."

Chen Lili agreed: "Ye Li is the elder of Ye Dechao's family and has a high reputation among Nanyang Chinese businessmen. He is indeed the best person to take the blame."

"Ye Dechao's personal purpose in organizing the Gambling King Competition is to bring down Lao He and get back everything he thinks is rightfully his, but at the same time, more importantly, it is to complete the task assigned by his master behind him to stir up anti-Chinese sentiment in Nanyang.

For these two goals, he didn't care about scheming against anyone! As for Ye Li, his eyes only focused on the gains and losses on the gambling table. On the day the gambling ended, he accepted Ye Dechao's arrangement and returned to Jakarta, completely unaware that there was something bigger beyond the gambling table.

Gambling game, he once told me at the gambling table that we are all losers no matter what. I think he has some understanding of Ye Dechao's identity and what they are going to do. I guess he is still fantasizing about this cooperation.

How many benefits can be gained by marrying Americans? It is naive and foolish to seek skin from a tiger and bring others down!"

Chen Lili sighed: "My master has been famous for nearly forty years. He has swept the world's gambling world since he was in his twenties, and is respected as a genius not seen in a century. He prides himself on his talent, and always thinks that he can be in the gambling world in his lifetime.

His ideal is to open the door for Indonesian Chinese to enter politics. To this end, he worships Ge Qingzhu of the Qingzhu Gang, hoping to use Ge Qingzhu's status as the "Island's Independent Godfather" to make friends with Americans.

, he always believed that it was the Americans who could play a decisive role in the Southeast Asia region."

Li Huqiu said: "We have been trapped on the island for a few days, and we have been here for nearly a week. Ye Dechao and others should have returned long ago. Is there any news from your senior brother?"

The classical beauty shook her head and said: "No, Nanyang Hongmen has seven halls in Yecheng. Two to three thousand brothers have been sent out, but Ye Dechao and the people from the headquarters have not been found."

Li Huqiu said: "It's normal that we can't find it. After all, American intelligence agency personnel were involved in this incident. (_)" and asked: "What was the 1965 Blood Bowl incident you just mentioned?"

"Putting blood bowls is a custom of the local Daya people. Placing a red earthen bowl filled with chicken or dog blood in front of the enemy's house is a symbol of revenge for the Daya people. Any Daya people who see the red bowl have the responsibility to enter the house.

The people inside were driven out and killed. At that time, there were rumors in the society that a Chinese had killed nine elders of the Daya tribe, which triggered the Daya tribe's revenge against the Chinese, which eventually turned into a brutal massacre under the promotion of the military.

This is the origin of the Blood Bowl incident." When Chen Lili talked about this incident, his tone was obviously more hateful, "When the Sukarno regime leaned towards the communist camp, the Americans began to carry out the pseudonym 'Xu Tuzhi'

The plan of senior CIA agents supported the Suharto military government to come to power. Not long after Sukarno was ousted, the Blood Bowl incident occurred. The deaths of hundreds of thousands of Chinese triggered a great exodus of overseas Chinese. My master had not yet told his wife

After getting married, he met the daughter of a Chinese businessman in Jakarta. Later, the Blood Bowl incident broke out and the girl was raped."

Chen Lili took a deep breath to suppress the grief and anger in his heart and continued: "When my master arrived, the Chinese businessman's daughter had already been tortured to death by those beasts. Afterwards, they chopped off her head and put a wine bottle in

In her body." He paused for a while and then said: "Li Huqiu, you really shouldn't look down on my master. Back then, my master had just won the gambling showdown with Masao Asano, and his reputation was at the top of the world. But he resolutely left him behind.

The older brother who was raised to adulthood gave up his prosperous career in Macao and came to Indonesia, where he stayed for thirty-two years. Even if he failed to achieve practical results, his ideals were not wrong, and his persistence and

Persistence deserves more respect from you."

"So we have more reason to stop Ye Dechao's plan." Li Huqiu stood up, looked outside the door, and suddenly asked: "The security where we live is very poor?"

"No?" Chen Lili said in surprise: "Why do you ask?"

Li Huqiu looked at Jimo's gunman flashing outside the gate and said with a smile: "It's nothing, just ask on a whim."

Chen Lili followed his gaze and asked, "What? Is someone here?"

Li Huqiu said: "You are amazing. I just found out that he is here. Can I ask a question?"

"casual."

"Does your senior brother wear that sword in any place?" As soon as he finished speaking, Li Gangfeng walked in from the gate and said: "There is an event in the Nanyang martial arts community tonight. I have to be there. If you are interested, you can go and watch it together.

look."

****

When the sunset filled the sky, Li Gangfeng came to the temporary residence of Li Huqiu and others again, still holding the sword on his waist. He still cherished words like gold, picked up Li Shang and the others, went out and got in the car and headed west to Java West Port

A comprehensive club in the district.

Halfway through, Li Huqiu once asked what kind of activity it was, and Li Gangfeng's answer was simple and straightforward: martial arts competition!

Li Huqiu rolled his eyes at Senior Brother Hongmen. This old man has the style of a top master that does not belong to modern times. Not only does he not like to talk nonsense, he is even reluctant to say anything, especially when the person sitting next to him is always in front of him.

Li Huqiu pretended to keep a distance from Chen Lili. In fact, Li Huqiu didn't know that the reason why Li Gangfeng didn't like talking to him was not only due to Chen Lili, but there was another reason. Senior brother didn't like to watch thieves.

Wang's bright eyes seemed to be able to see into his senior brother's heart. Li Gangfeng liked others to see the coldness in his eyes, and didn't like people other than Chen Lili to notice the warmth in his heart.

A martial arts competition? Who is competing with whom? Is it a moral battle or a battle of honor? Is it a life-and-death showdown or a one-on-one fight? Li Huqiu followed Li Gangfeng into the club with many questions.

Walking into the venue, Li Huqiu saw Chen Zhantang standing in the middle of a group of half-elderly old men with a smile on his face. A large banner was pulled above his head, which read: The Nanyang Martial Arts Joint Conference and the Chinese Mainland Baguazhang and Wudang Ancient Boxing Masters Competition. Busy

Asked what Li Gangfeng meant? Senior brother rewarded him with two words: "Li Li!"

Chen Zhantang walked down from the main seat and came to Li Huqiu with a face full of joy. He grabbed his hand and smiled very proudly. "The wind started to blow as soon as I pulled up the sail. Whatever you want, it will come." He pushed Li Huqiu in front of everyone.

, introduced: "Everyone knows that there is a wild girl in my family who is spoiled by me. Fortunately, all the brothers and sisters do not dislike it and want to marry me, Lao Chen. To be honest, this matter really embarrasses the brothers.

Regardless of whether the girl is happy or not, I, Lao Chen, don’t want to offend any of the brothers and sisters here, so in the past two years, no matter which senior brother or brother comes to propose marriage, I, Lao Chen, always say the same thing, run away, girl.

Let’s wait and see if someone comes back. I guess you have all heard that the girl is back. I, Lao Chen, am the one who keeps his word. We decided in front of all the brothers and sisters which family’s child has the most ability.

, the girl will be promised to whichever family, but things have changed a bit now. This girl has found a boyfriend by herself. It is said that she is also the disciple of Master Dong Zhaofeng, the best master in the world. Well, this young man next to me is Li Li’s boyfriend.

My friend's name is Li Huqiu. Among the nephews here today, whoever can beat him or his brother Shang Nan in one and a half moves will be my Chen Zhantang's son-in-law!"

****

In the ring, Brother Xiao Nan is competing with Fang Liang, a disciple of Nanyang White Crane Sect. In the audience, Li Huqiu is standing next to Chen Zhantang, an old and cunning Hongmen boss and a powerful figure, and a young and talented Xia Thief King. The two are having a secret conversation.

"What do you mean?"

"Please do me a favor!"

"What age are you still dating?"

"This is Nanyang, and many traditions have not changed."

"What should I do if Li Li finds out?"

"That's your business."

"In that case, why should I help you?"

"Because you asked me for help first."

"So there is news about Ye Dechao?"

"Not yet, but in Nanyang, if I, Chen Zhantang, can't find anyone, let alone others."

"Because of your empty promise, we two brothers suddenly offended the entire Nanyang martial arts community?"

"It's better to offend you than to offend me. The martial arts community is the patron saint of the Chinese in Nanyang. When trouble breaks out, I, Chen Zhantang, will say that the sixty-six martial arts halls in Coconut City can become a refuge for tens of thousands of Chinese."

"Understood."

"Do you really understand?"

Li Huqiu clapped his hands in the audience. Shang Nan took two steps back and signaled to his opponent to pause. Li Huqiu whispered to him: "Keep your hands, but don't be polite. The sooner the better."

When the various masters watching the battle were still guessing what instructions Li Huqiu was giving to Shang Nan, they never expected that Shang Nan, who returned to the competition arena, suddenly looked completely different from the previous one. With every move he made, the man on the stage changed his mind.

A senior disciple from the White Crane Sect was thrown out of the ring. Then came the Eagle Claw Sect, then Tai Chi Sect, Tongji Fist, Wing Chun, Southern Shaolin Tiger Shape Fist, Crane Shape Fist, several of them came up in a row, the slowest one was Nan

The successor of Shaolin Crane Boxing insisted on two meetings.

Li Huqiu has been dealing with Zhang Yongbao and others in the past two years. Although his eyes are broad, he also knows that these figures in front of him are the foundation of the martial arts world. They are down-to-earth and can be seen and heard by ordinary people. They will not complain when they see injustice.

The Hou generation all live among warriors at this level. These talents are the disseminators of Chinese martial arts.

In the audience, Chen Zhantang's face became increasingly ugly.

"You said you understood?"

"yes!"
