The next meeting was a continuous meeting, first a small meeting, and then a general meeting, the small meeting was a high-level and staff department to study combat strategies, and at the same time summoned the captains of each ship to come back to prepare for the conference, and the logistics supply was urgently put on board.

The war machine of the Southeast Province is spinning at full speed!

Start by taking an inventory of war assets, especially the fleet.

Previously:

Battleships of the 3rd class (Southeast Province class): 70 guns (24 pounder/26 guns, 12 pounder/26 guns, 6 pounder/18 guns), 2 ships ready;

Cruisers of the fifth rank (North Harbor class): 40 doors (12 pounder/20 doors, 6 pounders/20 doors), 4 ships ready;

Cruisers of the sixth rank (Northport class): 28 doors (12 pounder/18 doors, 6 pounders / 10 doors), 33 ships ready;

"Good news!" Vice Admiral Li Ying raised a finger and said, "The Tainan-class fifth-class sail cruisers (38 guns, 18-pounder/26 guns, 12-pounder/12 guns) we built have 2 into service, and at the same time, 2 sixth-class cruisers have also entered service. ”

It is indeed good news, these four warships were only erected on the slipway in the second half of last year, but the shipyard workers played the characteristics of infrastructure madness, working three shifts a day, and did not rest on holidays.

In this way, it was calculated that our gun port was 70 * 2 + 40 * 4 + 35 * 28 + 2 * 38, a total of 1356 guns, and the number of warships was 43.

The enemy's strength was 1,500 guns and 53 ships, and the Dutch were clearly aiming to overwhelm the Southeastern Province in terms of numbers and artillery, and it was already expected that there was still room for the strength of the Southeastern Province.

He is worthy of being a coachman on the sea, and with the movement of his fingers, he has gathered so many ships that the southeast province is like a great enemy.

The numbers on the bright side show that our army is a little bad, and the eyes of the military and political dignitaries are all looking at Yan Changwu, who is on the top seat, to see what is going on with him.

In the small conference room of the Southeast Fleet, the long table is made of ordinary camphor wood, covered with snow-white tablecloths, everyone's chairs are also camphor wood, and the walls are only whitewashed with lime, and they are not decorated.

All the people were silent and looked at Yan Changwu.

In an instant, he felt that he had held history in his hands, the fate of Minhai and even South China, China, and Southeast Asia. The lives of countless people will be changed by his will!

The feeling of grasping the future of the world made his heart beat faster, and a rush of blood rushed to his brain.

Perhaps, this is the mood of Jericho! (Admiral Jellicoe the British, who commanded the British Grand Fleet in World War I and fought the unprecedented Battle of Jutland against the German fleet)

"Three years ago, the number of our warships was zero, and the other side was four fifth-class warships, plus other ships...... This comparison is even more disadvantageous than it is now! Yan Changwu said slowly.

"But we did it, we succeeded, and everyone knows what the result was!" Yan Changwu looked around at everyone.

"We beat the Dutch, we succeeded!" He pressed his hands on the table and looked at everyone.

"Now, the Dutchman is here again, this time, it's a big test, and we'll have a good day!"

"We can definitely win, we have worked hard, countless soldiers and people's hearts are tied to our warship, we forge ahead, we spill blood and sweat, waiting for this day to come! This is a fateful battle, and we will rise on the corpses of the Dutch! Yan Changwu said passionately.

"As long as we defeat the Dutch, no force in all of Southeast Asia will be able to stop us!"

"Tell everyone that we must not be defeated, and if we are defeated, we will have nothing!" Yan Changwu took a deep breath and said, "Our fleet, our ships, our silver, our land, everything, will be lost!" ”

He stopped, and immediately Chen Xinji slammed the table, shaking several cups to jump, and the water poured but no one paid attention.

Chen Xinji said coldly: "Including us!" What was in the past, then go back to the original form, it is what it is! ”

Everyone was excited, everyone used to be farmers, fishermen, pirates, and now two people sit at the table like dogs, and become captains, captains, and senior administrators, giving orders, and showing their power in front of people.

Speaking of the "cheap" officials of the Southeast Mansion, in fact, many people have the title of officials of the Ming Dynasty, and they are indeed the official masters of the Eight Classics, and the old family tree has also recorded their official titles, which is unimaginable before.

Once defeated, they will all be beaten back to their original form, thinking that the Ming Dynasty will definitely take advantage of the danger of the people, and draw wages from the southeast mansion to the bottom of the kettle, and completely beat everyone back to the original form.

The so-called luxury is easy to return to frugality, how can such a day be endured!

Seeing that Chen Xinji's assist successfully inspired everyone's hatred of the enemy, Yan Changwu didn't need to say anything more, and studied the battle strategy with everyone.

Yan Changwu read the information, and then said, "Let's talk about it!" ”

Chief Instructor Storm reached for the list and looked at it, and said, "Overseer, I dare say, the Dutch are prepared for our situation!" ”

"What do you mean by that?" Yan Changwu said.

"I've seen the list of Dutchmen and I know them." Storm calmly said: "Ann Jenson Vahn, William Van Bassent, Adri Wiscourt Demlake, Albert Fedeney Lowndes, ......"

He read the names of these people and said, "They are all quite good gunners!" ”

"The Dutch fought against the enemy, in addition to using cannons, they liked to jump gang combat (that is, ship-to-ship hand-to-hand combat), but now they all use gunners, which shows that they put the scales of victory on artillery in this battle!"

Storm was a Dutchman, but he had completely turned his back on the Dutch, and for him, only a victory in the south-east province would give him a chance to return to his Dutch homeland.

During the conversation with Yan Changwu, he knew that Yan Changwu had the determination to emulate Zhu Hongmaofan, and he was likely to fight in Europe in the future!

It seemed to him that hope was slim, but he still held on to a glimmer of hope.

In order to return home, he spared no effort to help Yan Changwu, he analyzed the characteristics of the Dutch captains, and decided that the Dutch were ready to fight with us for a decisive victory!

He's right!

After the pirate Li Kuiqi fought a battle with the Southeast Mansion, the Dutch contacted Li Kuiqi and knew the details of the battle, and knew that the Southeast Mansion had a lot of muskets.

Jumping gangs to fight, people are shooting indiscriminately, and the death is unknown, this kind of work can't be done.

Li Kuiqi obviously made good preparations, but he didn't grab a battleship from the Southeast Province, but instead lost all the casualties of his elite.

So the Dutch specially assembled the captains who were good at using guns, ready to win in artillery!

……

If the Netherlands are going to do so, how can we not party with them enthusiastically!

Speaking of which, after our artillery level has undergone intensive training of "Moon Moon Fire Water Wood Gold and Gold", the brothers are full of confidence.

If you want an artillery battle, then let's have a blast!
