Compared with the Chinese who have joys and sorrows, and the joys outweigh the worries, the red-haired fans on the way back are generally depressed and not in good spirits!

Once upon a time, they were ambitious and crossed the three oceans to conquer the land of wealth in the East, the land of honey and milk.

However, even with their best efforts, they failed to annihilate the Chinese fleet, which was still less than half their strength!

Although they fired a few shots at their "national capital", they did not hurt their henchmen at all, but only scratched them.

Nothing!

There is no record of the Chinese, the record of the Chinese is more than ten times that of the red hair, and even the admiral has been captured by the Chinese!

Lost ships, lost soldiers.

The wealth has not been won, and even the land of the Chinese has not been set foot on!

The red-haired fan is really complaining, and the wounded soldiers in the cabin are moaning one after another, and the people who are almost nervous want to go crazy!

The "Ampwert" was a battleship with 52 guns, the largest of which was 18 pounds, and had a double gun deck, barely a battleship.

Its firepower is not terrible, but it is quite fast, and its body is streamlined, without a tall bow and stern.

Dutch Admiral Tromp had already made the ship his flagship, and his original flagship, the Maas, was badly damaged, broken in many places, and the foremast was broken, making it unsustainable.

The "Mr. Three Hours" he met was not wilted, because he knew that he would only fight for a while, so the officers and men of the Southeast Fleet fought desperately, and the DPS output was high, and the damage to the Hongmao Fan ships was not small!

As the flagship, the "Maas River" was the first to bear the brunt, and if it were not for the escort of the rest of the warships, it would have been possible to be sunk.

It was no longer suitable as a flagship, so the "Ampwert" became the new flagship.

In the cramped cabin, Tromp was concentrating on making tea, a full set of Chinese tea sets, of course, Chinese tea.

The tea is fragrant, and the fresh water on the ship is expensive, but the admiral is indispensable to drink tea.

The guest was Carl Venereel, the High Commissioner of the Dutch East India Company, who was a merchant by birth, who sought advantage and avoided disadvantage, and did not suffer any damage in battle.

The two drank tea, and Mr. Karl couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Tromp, do you have any plans?" ”

"Plan?" Tromp sat with his hands and feet spread out, and said lightly: "My first plan is to return to India safely. ”

The name of India is derived from the Chinese, and the red hair fan is also called so.

"Yes, safe back to India!" Mr. Carr agreed.

"Your second plan, you won't necessarily be happy!" Tromp said: "I'm going back to Europe! ”

"What!" Mr. Carr was so surprised that he stood up and pointed at Tromp.

"Behold, you are so excited, so I am right to invite you to tea first, this is green tea, it can lower the fire!" Tromp is very clear about the purpose of tea, and is obviously an old tea customer.

"My friend, please sit down!" Tromp said.

Mr. Karl sat down and muttered, "Why! ”

In order to seize the interests of the East, the Dutch East India Company paid a heavy price to the Dutch authorities who agreed to send troops, half of the profits of ten years!

And Tromp will also be richly rewarded, before he came he got 30,000 guilders for settling-in money, once he wins, he has an annuity of 100,000 guilders a year for five consecutive years, and 220 guilders at that time is the annual income of an ordinary Dutch teacher!

It can be said that after one vote, Tromp can retire!

But Tromp said to go, and his attitude was very resolute.

According to Mr. Karl's thoughts, although the army has been defeated in this battle, the main force still exists, and the biggest losses are the Spaniards, which is very good, why not fight?!

Tromp's face froze, and he analyzed: "I haven't had much contact with the Oriental Chinese before, and I have seen some Chinese in Europe, they are self-disciplined and confident, have a good spirit, and have a strong physique!" ”

That's right!

Under his leadership, the Chinese have won successive victories, achieved great military and economic achievements, and have also been richly rewarded, both mentally and physically, and firmly occupy the first place on the Blue Water Planet!

Eat more meat, eat more meat!

There is meat to eat naturally strong, and there is meat ** God is good, both aspects are better than red hair!

"Fighting them, their bravery and tenacity, their level of training, and their obedience to orders are amazing!" Tromp exclaimed, and then said: "Such an opponent, we are in India, too far from God, too close to the Chinese!" ”

Mr. Karl is not stupid, and he understands in one sentence that after Tromp fought a war, he is not optimistic about the war with the Dutch and the Chinese!

To tell the truth, the Chinese fleet gave Tromp a great impact, if the entire Hongmao fleet was Dutch, maybe he still had confidence, but the combined fleet of various countries, Tromp knew that he had no chance.

The Chinese are all in unison, and their logistics are terrifying to Tromp!

It's just like Antaeus is invincible, the Chinese fought again and again the next day, and the next day they attacked like a dragon and a tiger, and the Hongmao Fan Combined Fleet was alone in Southeast Asia, just like Cheng Biting Jin's three-plate axe, after three moves, he had to kneel if he didn't make a contribution!

As for relying on the resources of India against the Chinese fleet?

Mr. Karl couldn't help but smile bitterly, once Tromp left, most of the Dutch must follow and leave, without a large fleet, how to deal with the Chinese!

"Don't worry!" Tromp comforted him and said: "India can't keep it, you can run Africa, I believe that India has the Chinese busy, where the Mughal Empire is weak but still strong." If they continue to move westward, they will encounter the Turks and stop the Chinese advance! ”

"But what about the Chinese pushing into Africa?" Mr. Carr retorted to him: "The Chinese fleet is so strong, they will definitely continue to advance, they will occupy Africa!" ”

"That's going to be their generational business!" Tromp didn't take it seriously at all: "From the East to the West, if they run all the way, and when they reach Europe, we don't know if they can see it!" (See you in the long life)

"If they rush forward, then they will be in the same situation as we are now, and we can keep them coming and going!" Tromp said optimistically.

"Mr. Karl, the war is over!" Tromp declared: "The Chinese are no threat to us in Europe, you can rest assured!" ”

Mr. Carr reluctantly replied, "I hope so!" ”

Seeing that he was not in a high mood, Tromp said: "Evacuate India, put resources in Africa, put it on the west coast, where there is the Cape of Good Hope as a natural barrier, I think the strength of the Chinese will end at most!" ”

"Good!" Mr. Karl nodded.

"Woo......" There was a trumpet sound from outside the ship, and Tromp got up and ran out of the cabin.

After escaping for three days, the Hongmao Fan fleet was caught up by the Chinese fleet!
