The Dutch are ready and are waiting for the arrival of the South-Eastern Fleet!

Governor Speke judged that the Akito did not suffer major losses last time, and this time he would take advantage of the wind to attack again, so he took precautions early.

The Netherlands has a terrifying maritime power, with merchant ships on five continents (Europe, North and South America, Africa and Asia) and three oceans (Atlantic, Indian and Pacific), known as the coachman of the sea, with 15,000 merchant ships, which can launch an ocean-going merchant ship in six months!

In the Far East, the Dutch stationed the East India Company, established a headquarters in Batavia, Java, and other bases were set up in the East Indies and the Spice Islands, after many years of operation, so far there are hundreds of merchant ships, more than 20,000 employees of the rich company, the business is very busy, the main export trade content includes sugar, deer skin, venison, antlers, rattan, rice, transshipment trade content includes Dutch metals, medicinal materials, Batavia spices, pepper, amber, linen, cotton, elegant chips, tin, lead, Chinese silk fabrics, pottery, gold, porcelain, tea, and of course cannons and gunpowder under the care of staunch patriots, ship components, teak, etc.!

To be honest, you shouldn't export sensitive things like cannons, but the Dutch are crazy about money, and the profits of arms are known to everyone on the earth, and they have exported an excessive amount of artillery, and they have only recently begun to impose a trade embargo on things like cannons exported from the southeast province, and they have asked all the red-haired fans, including the British, Spain, and Portugal, to comply with them, and they have also responded!

The strength of the Southeast Province has risen too fast, and it is a great threat to Hongmaofan's business!

Although the British had ill intentions and tried to use the Southeast Province against the Dutch, they found that the Southeast Province was constantly building powerful battleships and had the power to capsize the Red Hair Fan Sea Domination, so they also joined the Dutch arms embargo on the Southeast Province. (Of course, they didn't spoil the relationship with the southeastern province, but pretended that there was no artillery in their own country, but in fact there were still some in their Indian warehouses)

The East India Company's business was booming, everyone was very busy, as long as the ship would come to the money, so no one wanted to waste time, if it weren't for the strong Governor Speke, plus the help of the rest of the knowledgeable foreign chiefs, it was not easy to concentrate sixty armed merchant ships, which was the largest troop gathering of the East India Company in recent years!

The captains were full of complaints, complaints and complaints, and Governor Speke made a louder voice: "I am responsible for the shareholders of the company, I let you not do business and prepare for the war, if you are defeated, I will be unlucky, of course, if I don't be this governor, I may make more money by running the ship!" ”

The Governor was like this, and everyone had nothing to say, so they made serious preparations for war, and more than sixty armed merchant ships sailed all day long, and were trained in formation, sailing, and shelling, which was a rare occurrence for them as veteran drivers.

Like a great enemy! In the eyes of the Chinese and natives in Batavia, there is a special taste in my heart!

The Chinese secretly rejoiced, if the southeast province was victorious, everyone would be of the same race, and many people would be fellow villagers, and in the future, the affairs of Batavia would be able to rise to a higher level.

Most of the natives have no brains, are chaotic, and do not know what the meaning of this battle is, while the smart natives are worried, only feeling that the already low status is even more difficult to protect!

Some of the Tufu chiefs had gloomy faces, staring at the Chinese leaders to see what they had to do, and they wanted to be unlucky, and everyone would come together!

……

Besides, the Portuguese Munch, after giving a warning, went away with a satisfactory reward, while the Dutch in the Doge's palace were nervously discussing how to deal with those hateful Mingmen!

Blow them up, destroy their fleet, and take their southeastern province!

If you beat my idea, then I am also plotting your inheritance!

As long as you defeat the opponent's fleet, immediately wave your army to the north and blockade the Southeast Mansion, the Southeast Mansion without a fleet will be a toothless wolf, at the mercy of hunters!

In one fell swoop, the whole body could be economically developed and matured rice fields, endless sugarcane fields, shipyards and sugar factories, a large number of people to serve as slaves, and trade re-exports were in a very advantageous position...... And geographically, it was even more rewarding, it could suppress the Ming Empire, and it was with these reasons that Governor Speke persuaded the unruly captains to stop their business and join the party after Christmas.

Get ready to fire your guns and enjoy!

The captains in Batavia were veterans, from as far away as the Cape of Good Hope, the Middle East, and India, who had worked so hard to get to Batavia, and the local captains, all of whom were gathered under the command of Governor Speke to prepare for battle.

Six battleships have been urgently refitted, reaching more than 50 guns, and are equipped with quite a few 24-pounder guns, and the crews are well-trained, all veteran drivers, ready to beat the Mingren!

……

The port of Batavia was busy, and the Dutch were making urgent preparations for the war, and they were carrying all kinds of supplies to the ship, artillery, shells, gunpowder, firearms, water and food, ship equipment, medical equipment and medicines, etc., everywhere there were people and goods.

The Dutch in Batavia were all on the battlefield, and except for some of the people who stayed behind, all the whites who could get to the ship were on board!

Half of the Dutch, the rest of the British, Spaniards, Portuguese, Itali, Germans, Swiss, Danes, Russians, and so on, the whole big white league.

Plus blacks, Indians, Middle Easterners, and local brown guys, there is only one less Chinese----- Chinese are outstanding, if they join the army, it will be amazing!

Facts have proved that the white people are really smart, they let the Chinese work to make money, and the Chinese have a rich man, but they can't let them hold military power, otherwise just look at the Chinese in the southeast province, you will know that they can actually get along with the white people and not fall behind.

Accents shouted and cursed, skin tones flashed back and forth, dazzling, and the harbor was as noisy as a giant beehive.

In the Age of Discovery, countries and nations were never so closely connected as they are now, and the shipping routes were threaded one by one, connecting various places.

Governor-General Speek, Hendrik Brower, Anthony van Diemen and the captains of the ships came aboard the ships, and with the sound of the bells, the warships of the sail period set sail and sailed out to sea, and when they arrived outside the harbor, they covered the sea, and the pomp and circumstance was unprecedented!

They attacked from the south to the north, a little far from the shore, and did not intend to let the people on the shore see the situation of the war, that is, they learned from the experience of the last time, so that the Chinese and natives could see their embarrassment, so that unnecessary incidents were born.

And to the north, the equally spectacular fleet is riding the hunting wind, slaughtering Batavia at high speed!

The two hostile fleets are surprisingly unanimous, and their tracks are rapidly approaching!
