Under direct rule, the Dutch implemented policies to exploit natural resources, establish infrastructure, and promote agricultural production, often leading to significant social and economic changes. The approach also involved strict governance, suppression of dissent, and the promotion of Dutch culture and language.

So they got the idea to annihilate the US Navy so they could not go after the Japanese once they arrived in the Dutch East Indies. Their plan backfired however when they failed to destroy the carriers. The rest is history.
