Chapter 527: Peter surrounds the point to send reinforcements
Mentov's Dutch fleet, with a total of 100 sailboats and 50 ironclads, was a giant of the seas before the Kingdom of Heaven came to this region.
This fleet is not only large in number of ships, but also has a large number of naval personnel, including land personnel serving these ships, with a total of more than 15,000 people.
In order to maintain the normal operation of this fleet, not only the Netherlands gave great financial support, but also the entire East India Company's colonial income.
One of Mentov's main reasons for enlisting the support of Dutch politicians and overseas consortia was to use the Sulu Islands as a springboard to gain a firm foothold and continue to develop north and east, turning Japan, Goryeo, and even the Manchu Qing into colonies of the Netherlands.
At that time, it was time to return these investments, and the rolling financial resources flowed back to the home country, not only the country was rich, but also the consortium that paid out of their pockets to support it to gain a lot of profits.
Looking at the opponent's fleet and comparing it with his own fleet, Peter estimated in his heart that it was at least two levels worse, of course, this was only in the technical level of the ship.
In addition to the skill level, his own fleet also has the upper hand in numbers, but the real gap is only in the cannons; on the opposite side, this kind of armored ship, one armor-piercing bullet, can destroy one!
And what about the Dutch shells, as long as they don't fall directly on people, they basically can't cause significant damage, not to mention that they don't have armor-piercing ability!
As a matter of fact, even if they have armor-piercing capabilities, they will not be able to penetrate their own rear armored ships! The navy of the Kingdom of Heaven is now at the level of rear armored ships.
The key technical point is that the main structure of the ship is cast entirely of steel. Instead of being like an armored ship, it's just covered with iron on the outside, and it's still made of wood on the inside.
Now all three hundred of Peter's rear armored ships have surrounded the Dutch fleet on three sides, and each ship is baring its fangs, and it is about to swallow the lambs under the mouths of these evil wolves!
The Dutch warship also knew that the limit of the road had arrived, and it stretched out its head with a knife, shrunk its head with a knife, and launched a decisive charge with a stalk in the neck!
Peter's gunner. The hand that pulled the bolt gradually strengthened. Massacres at sea are about to take place......
At this time, Mai Ke arrived!
He immediately ordered: "Don't fire the cannon!"
Mai Ke already had a loud voice, and there was no problem with the natural sound being transmitted five miles away, and he was still riding on the back of a clouded leopard, giving orders in the air. So not only all the heavenly navies heard. Even the Dutch fleet heard it clearly!
The Heavenly Navy immediately obeyed Mai Ke's order. The bolts were tightened instead, but the hands did not leave, and the Dutch ships, though a little slower, reacted. And within a second behind the Heavenly Navy, it stopped rushing forward, and then it retreated sharply!
They were originally determined to die generously, and this escape from death is also a breath of relief.
Peter stepped forward and asked, "What are the tricks?"
With his understanding of Mai Ke, there must be a greater advantage to take advantage of, so he gave up this great opportunity to gather and destroy enemy ships that had been planned for a long time.
"Surround the enemy ships tightly, and not a single one will escape!" Peter immediately conveyed this order to the commanders of the Southern and Western Fleets, and then entered the command cabin with Mai Ke.
"The situation has changed!" Before Peter could ask, Mai Ke told him the reason for the change in his plan.
"According to our intelligence, the Dutch government will come forward and ask for help from Britain, France, Germany, Italy, Russia, Austria and other European countries!
After fierce bargaining, several countries finally reached an agreement to divide the spoils, in which Britain got the island of Sumatra, France got the island of Kalimantan, Germany got the islands of Sulawesi, Italy got the Maluku Islands, and the other participating countries got their own place.
"Each country basically gets a share of the size according to the size of the country, so the small countries have nothing to complain about.
"The basic principle agreed upon is that, apart from the unified action commanded by the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces, the rest is for each family to retake its own islands, and if you take it back, it will be yours, and if you can't take it back, you can't complain about it empty-handed.
"Those who fail can ask others to help, but the price will have to be paid by themselves, and the most likely consequence is that the islands will be paid to the helpers. ”
"Very well, they have come here, won't we have to go to the door and beat them?Tell me quickly! What should we do? I guess your boy has a bad idea to keep them coming back?" said Peter presciently, as soon as he heard McCode's briefing.
Suddenly, I felt that something was wrong, and said, "I'm afraid it's not that simple, did you deliberately let them come?"
"Ha Lu Ha! brother, you are really getting smarter, and sure enough, not being with me in vain will greatly help your wisdom! You are right, otherwise, do you think they can receive information that they need help here?"
It turned out that the Dutch Navy used a Nordic specialty, the petrel, which could fly fast and long distances, especially at a very high speed, and could avoid all kinds of bad weather, so the failure of the Dutch in the East India Company was sent to the desk of the Minister of the Navy two days later.
Although he saw the original, he was not the first reader.
The first reader is Mai Ke!
At the beginning of the war, Mai Ke brought the Xuanxiao of the Holy Mountain over and set up a huge encirclement over the Sulu Islands.
Of course, no matter how many Xuanxiao there are, they can't control the sea area within a radius of tens of thousands of miles, but Mai Ke has the clouded leopard, the king of all beasts, and as a result, he not only mobilized all the flying birds in the world that have been subdued, but also collected all the petrels in the nearby sea to help Xuanxiao arrange this big net.
Since Mai Ke deliberately blocked it, if Mai Ke didn't check it first, a Nordic petrel wouldn't be able to fly away.
All the materials that flew out of the city were released after reading by Mai Ke.
Therefore, the Dutch admiralty was drawn step by step by the news provided by Mai Ke, and finally exhausted all the colonial territories before organizing this European coalition.
It was only at this time that Mai Ke told Peter the news, otherwise, the scene would be a bit difficult to act, and he couldn't eat the bait of the Dutch fleet first, and then wait for the fish to take the bait.
"Then what now?" Peter couldn't keep up with Mai Ke's train of thought, so he simply regarded Mai Ke as a teacher in everything, but he was still a little resentful in his heart, and he thought that Mai Ke was unhappy, and he muttered in his mouth: "You kid is famous, I really don't know what kind of conspiracy you have!"
Mai Ke Ha Lang laughed: "This is simple, but it is just a siege point to send reinforcements! The key is that this point must be saved by the enemy, and if you want to save it, you can only fill it with more unlucky eggs! Don't you just like this style of play?"
"Well, it's a pleasure! The more unlucky the better!"
is quite a simple child, and after such a while, he was damaged by Mai Ke. (To be continued......)
