"What? Carter's missing?" Josh frowned when he heard Ophelia's answer.
"Yes, boss. I just got the news too. Captain Carter lost contact with the CIA's South America branch yesterday. That's happened before, so the branch management didn't take it seriously. But when I used the emergency contact device at headquarters, I got no response!" Ophelia replied in a tense tone.

Josh’s example of how Native Americans were treated opened a new door for the Dutch.
As a long-established European power, the Dutch leadership quickly came up with a plan called One Island, One Nation.
The idea was simple; support the tribal leaders of each island in Java and make them kings.
The Javanese, like the early tribes of Africa and the Native Americans, originally...

By mid-April 1948, the war between the Netherlands and Java remained at a stalemate.
Despite the Dutch military holding absolute superiority in troop quality and weaponry, their numbers were severely limited.
Much like before World War II, Dutch garrisons across the vast territory of Java were often so small that some outposts had less than a squad of soldiers.
With such a sma...

In late 1945, after Japan's surrender, the British fleet landed in Java, took control of the major cities, freed the imprisoned Dutch colonial troops, and rearmed them. The British and Dutch then formed a joint force and refused to recognize the Republic of Java, leading to conflict.
