At this time, the Portuguese were cheering on the sea, and in the face of the enemy's tragic situation, the ordinary soldiers at the forefront did not feel cruel and trembling.

Because it is certain that they can reap the fruits of victory with little need for brutal battles, and this excitement can only be experienced by ordinary soldiers who have once risked their lives to fight for their future.

Soon, more than thirty small boats carrying three hundred musketeers and spearmen quickly rowed to the pier, and they quickly advanced towards the Doge's palace and the two batteries to the east and west, following a pre-planned line of attack.

Immediately after that, another three hundred soldiers of the second round also boarded the pier pier unscathed, and each of them was very excited, the victory came too quickly and easily, completely beyond the soldiers' expectations.

Of course, there are also many Portuguese soldiers who accepted the surrender of the enemy, after witnessing the situation in the dock square at close range, the mood is indeed a trace of fear and complexity, when they step on the blood stains of the square to advance, the tragic situation on the ground makes the soldiers' hearts keep beating drums, at this moment, everyone is secretly glad that the Australians are on their side......

While the Portuguese flag was raised on the east and west batteries, the Dutch on the sea west of the port of Dili departed in disgrace and returned home.

The Dutch captains quickly closed the gun doors with unprecedented efficiency, then raised their mainsails and began to move the hull, and before leaving, they politely sounded the flag into the distance----

"Congratulations to the Viceroy of Timor on his victory, and to the Commonwealth of Australia."

That's right, the Dutch mentioned the Australian Commonwealth in the flag, and for decades, the Dutch built up a well-developed intelligence network in the South Seas, and now they know that the Australians exist.

The Dutch had known about the Australians and the Great Australian Iron Ship for two months, and one day in December of the previous year, the Dutch Governor in Ambon had sent two natives to the East India Company headquarters in Batavia on a clipper.

The natives had already admitted that they were members of a pirate gang that had encountered a strange "blue ghost ship" during a coastal robbery, and in order to avoid being put on the gallows, they were willing to provide the Dutch with detailed information about the Australians, including what happened in Porto Holo a few months ago, and legend has it that the Australians had asked the Kingdom of Sulu for hundreds of young men to drive their magic ships, confirming the Dutch's hearsay about the incident a few months earlier, but at the time, the Dutch had no clue about it.

It is said that the Australian ship was powered by magic, because she did not raise any sails when she started, and did not stick out even half of the wood on the sides of the hull, but sailed extremely fast, including a ship with a slender and low hull, and her blue shadow would suddenly appear on the surface of the sea, which would catch people off guard.

The firepower of that ship was unprecedented, and the natives swore that even the firepower of the three-deck Spanish heavy galleon was inferior to that of the blue ghost ship of the Australians.

In the beginning, the Governor of Ambon and his intelligence advisers dismissed such information as nonsense, as it was no different from the sea tales told by the sailors in the bars to please the barmaids.

However, as more and more merchants from Sulu joined these discussions, the rumors of Australian ghost ships in the nearby sea intensified.

Until one day, while chatting with an islander, Ambon's intelligence officer was solemnly informed that an entire village of natives had witnessed the "Blue Ghost Ship", and the villagers had seen how she had sunk several large slurry ships in a few breaths, and how the pirates on board had been torn apart by the "Poseidon Electricity".

Then, a letter from an informant from Sulu struck the Governor of Ambon that things were not so simple, detailing what the Australians, the country called the Commonwealth of Australia, had done in Hollow Harbor about half a year ago.

By this time, the Governor finally felt that something was indeed a little out of the ordinary, so he quickly carried out relevant intelligence gathering operations, and finally he finally learned about the incident that had taken place half a year ago and recently, as well as various rumors, including the "Blue Ghost Ship" of the Australians, the "Huge Soul Devouring Magic Ship", the "Great Iron Ship", and the "beautiful goods of the Sea God" from the Australians, and also found the "Divine Punishment" near a small islandThe remains of ---- broken pulp and several wooden barrels, on which the handwriting indicates that they belonged to a Portuguese sailing ship.

The experienced intelligence advisers of the Doge's Office believed that no matter how ridiculous the rumors of ghost ships were, there was one basic fact that was indisputable: the Portuguese ships did encounter pirates, and then a powerful strange ship with blue sails suddenly appeared and came to the aid of the Portuguese.

All of this news eventually appeared on the desk of the board of directors of the Dutch East India Company a week or weeks later.

Subsequently, the Dutch intelligence officer stationed in Macao sent similar information to the headquarters in Batavia, saying that a huge ship had appeared in the sea near Macao, and that he had also witnessed a blue sailing ship, which he described as being able to sail quickly on the surface without sails or slurry.

In a subsequent letter, the agent reported that he had seen the Australians on the docks.

“...... They are no ordinary people—at least outwardly and mentally. ”

The Macao intelligence officer also said in the letter that although they claimed to be Australians, judging from their race and language pronunciation, they should be pure Han Chinese, but they were obviously very different from the Han people on that continent.

They claim to be descendants of a group of refugees who fled the Old World, and according to historical information available to informants, it seems that a group of remnants of a previous dynasty fled the Mongol persecution hundreds of years ago.

According to observations, the Australians seem to have a good relationship with the Portuguese, and because they have quelled a plague in the city of Macau, and thus have a great reputation in the eyes of the citizens of Macau, it seems that they do have a powerful and mysterious power.

Subsequently, another written report from Macau was urgently sent to Batavia, and at the regular meeting of the board of directors of the East India Company, this report was read out in full, the content of the speech of the Australian in the Macau City Council, this is a French translation, and the most amazing thing is that, according to the intelligence officer, this French translation is actually from the hands of this group of Australians!

Apparently, Australians don't think their speech at the Macau City Council should be kept secret.

The members of the board of directors were very surprised not only by the various ideas in the speech, but also by the Dutch, at least from the bottom of their hearts, the members of the board of directors still agree with these free trade ideas, as a weak nation that relies on commerce to build a country, they naturally favor the concept of free trade, although they believe in mercantilism and they can't do this at all, but it does not prevent them from appreciating the eight words of "open door and equal interests" of Australians.

The reason for appreciation is also very simple: since it is an open door, it also means that it is open to us Dutch merchants, and since it is an equalization of interests, it also means that when the Dutch come to the ports controlled by the Australians, there is still money to be made.

In fact, what surprised them the most was that a group of Han Chinese from the Far East had such a detailed understanding of European history and humanity, and could put forward such lofty ideas, which was simply incredible!

In the minds of this group of board directors, all of this is indeed incredible and shocking, and it has long been more shocking than the rumors of the so-called "magic ship".
