"Isn't it a bit too wasteful to use such expensive tranquilizer shells against those batteries that don't cost much?"

Sun Cisco sighed, no matter how they flaunted it, the fine tradition of bravery and precision of the troops they boasted of could not be brought out.

At present, there is a very ignorant anger in the troops, believing that the elders have descended from heaven and only need to send artillery to bombard, and they can solve the problem, not just that their mental state is too slack, especially the technical and tactical level of middle and lower-level officers is also very problematic.

He knows his limit, he is as strong as the American imperialists, and he is also disgraced in many places, after all, hundreds of thousands of American GIs who make one are not as cost-effective as the tribesmen who can work hard for you for a few hundred yuan.

From this point of view, he would prefer to face a stronger enemy.

But it can't be.

One of the biggest struggles this time is whether to keep the buildings that originally belonged to the West in Batavia, and some people think that it should be decolonized, that is, the entire city should be completely bulldozed and uprooted as soon as possible.

However, this was opposed by some elders with universal values, and their argument was also very reasonable, since the Netherlands and even Europe would be the land of the elders in the future, then there should be no discrimination against the architectural culture there, and the architecture of Batavia is different from the Netherlands itself, and belongs to the creative architecture in the tropical rainforest area.

"There are some things that don't distinguish between East and West."

In the end, a tactical compromise was made, considering the wealth and people here, then the shells rarely used flowering and incendiary bombs, and for those sea ships in the harbor, although the elders did not look down on them, it was not bad to be captured, even if they were returned to the Dutch afterwards, so that they could be co-opted and let them transport Chinese goods for themselves.

This is the norm of this era, today to fight, tomorrow to unite, today with the allies to fight the poor worm, tomorrow to unite the poor worm to suppress the allies, this is the European practice in this era.

The first to target the harbor and the battery was the tranquilizer shell.

Eleven of the Combine's lead ships have reached the coast off Batavia and are blocking the Dutch fleet in the harbor.

On the sea level of Kokand, eleven huge ocean-going warships appeared, and the red flags on the battleships were very conspicuous.

The sudden appearance of the "Dangdang ......" imperial capital warship caused confusion among the Dutch warships and merchant fleets in the bay.

The bay consisted of a fleet of about a few dozen Dutch warships of various sizes and more than four hundred Spanish seafaring ships.

Due to the sudden appearance of the warships of the Elder Fleet, the Dutch warships in the bay had no time to prepare, so they could only come out to meet each other, and the first to come out to meet the four Dutch warships, and the other Dutch warships were also gathering towards the mouth of the bay.

On the leading flagship, Sun Cisco is watching with a telescope.

"That's how the navy is used, that is, to attack, to mobilize the enemy's vital forces."

Seeing the four Dutch warships coming head-on to meet them, Sun Cisco smiled admiringly and ordered: "Prepare heat source detection rockets, tranquilizer warheads!" ”

With Sun Cisco's order, the people on the seven battleships were already ready to adjust their muzzles.

Since on the sea, a wooden ship with a large number of people and cannons is almost a target for heat sources, and after special settings, the direction is calibrated, even a military cadet at the level of a junior high school student is enough to use such a ship version of the rocket.

The loading speed is very fast, inheriting the simple and easy-to-use characteristics of the old space-time arsenal, and considering the cost, it is naturally invincible. There is no need to be like the warships of European countries at this time, equipped with heavy guns, and the shell loading speed is extremely slow, so you can only rotate the shelling on both sides, and after the shelling on one side, when the shelling is completed, when the shell is loaded, rotate the hull to let the cannon on the other side fire.

"Record the battle!"

Sun Cisco gave the order, but several young cadets picked up binoculars and began to record the battle situation on paper at the same time.

In order not to hurt their own people, the anesthetic was specially added with dyes, and the green smoke exuded a bewitching smell, and anyone who saw it was startled, and those seafarers were also different, and some even jumped into the sea to escape.

The flying shells will look for a heat source to hit, and then the warhead will open, which is almost irresistible, and anyone who smells it will faint directly within ten seconds, which also adds to the panic of everyone.

Boundless fear gripped the remaining six Dutch warships, unable to escape, behind them were many of their own men who were still at anchor, and there was not enough distance to fight back, and all that remained was despair.

Dutch sailors were already kneeling on the deck and praying for God's blessing.

It's a pity, God and his old man are only afraid that he will not be able to come out to bless them today, and after the third round of salvos, a full 300 rounds of narcotic shells were fired, and more than 100 of them hit the warships that rushed out at the beginning, causing few casualties, but the first dozen or so ships immediately lost their command and could only rely on inertia to sail, which was obviously going to cause an accident.

The "boom boom" water column exploded, the sound was very loud, and the frightened Dutch warship sailors in the rear shot at the maximum distance they could fire, but Sun Cisco was still unhurried, and only one was also heavily damaged and lost its combat effectiveness.

In the fourth round of shelling, the effect of firing at the battery was not as good as expected, only one tear gas bomb hit the mouth of the battery, and the smoke was shrouded, which immediately blinded the battery.

The sea was full of Dutch sailors, who were struggling to swim towards the shore, but the ship that lost control still caused the tragedy of its own people hitting him.

The movement in the sea off the harbor undoubtedly alarmed the Dutch dignitaries in the Batavia Castle.

"God, what's going on, what happened, in order for so many Chinese warships to suddenly attack, doesn't it mean that the Chinese are afraid of the noble people of God and never dare to disobey our will! Can anyone tell me! One of the directors yelled angrily.

After a while, a soldier rushed into the governor's palace to report, "Your Excellency the Governor, the Chinese fleet has suddenly appeared, and it has used a devil's cannonball to disable thirteen warships, and they have also blocked the harbor, and our fleet cannot be used!" ”

"What!" Hearing the news, everyone's eyes instantly widened in disbelief.

It may be the Portuguese, those perfidious Catholics, or the British, those guys who even killed the king, attacked them, but he never thought that it was the Chinese fleet, really called, counting the days, it must have set out to attack very early, and the most important thing is that at this time they are seizing the time to exclude the Chinese.

"Nope! Abominable Chinese, this is the most serious provocation against my Kingdom of the Netherlands, unforgivable, they are bound to pay a heavy price for it! They will be devastating to the kingdom, which has thousands of warships ready to strike! The directors roared.

He is still discussing these days, when he kills all the Han people in Java, how to make up a reason, find a way to threaten China, and obtain the greatest benefits, according to the idea of those Confucians, to find Confucianism inside China, they are all natural foreign surrenderers, spend a gold coin on them, you can get a hundred, you only need to send a war fleet to threaten with force, but the fleet of Chinese actually fought directly first, without warning and the fleet of their kingdom to war, Blocked the port without any movement.

"Report, the Chinese army used a devil's fire to turn the location where we can leave the port into a sea of fire, it should be Greek fire, and it is no longer possible for the fleet to go to sea."

As another soldier ran into the governor's palace, the Council of Elders had another killer move, a suicide clipper full of crude oil rushed directly towards the port, the purpose of course was not to hit the ship, but to ignite it directly and not to come out.

Thousands of miles away, the Chinese army is in a rapid battle, the fleet comes from the sea, and the Dutch have been operating here for a long time, manpower and material resources are actually superior, not to mention that what they need most now is to find a landing place for the soldiers to rest and recover their strength.

Soon the Dutch were shocked to find that the Chinese were attacking from both land and sea.

For the elders, Batawi Asia is complicated, after all, it has been operated for decades, around the city, colonists from various countries have launched a game from military to political for many years, the Portuguese took a fancy to this rich land a hundred years ago, but they have never been able to gain a foothold, lack of population and ruling skills, naturally they are not as good as the Dutch who occupied this place a few decades ago and named Jakarta Batavia.

The Dutch, who had relied on cannons, castles, and plague to expel the rulers of the island of Java from Batavia, formed a strange relationship in which they did not recognize each other, but needed each other.

To the west of Batavia, on a beachhead, the fleet opened up a landing point, although panicked, it was effective, after all, at this time, the Dutch soldiers who could counterattack them were also in the despicable battle to control the exclusion of Chinese, without those soldiers, who knows if the natives who had finished looting would have turned their guns to fight the Dutch.

By the evening, Sun Cisco had set up his headquarters on the shore, and after the machine gunner and a recoilless gun were controlled by the men he had personally selected and trained, he sent an ultimatum directly.

In fact, the ultimatum was not very popular in this era, and Europeans were used to using muskets to bully natives who had at most bows and arrows, which was clearly not needed.

"Director Duzera, Governor Qiu Ping, Captains and Soldiers of the Dutch Colonial Army: You have now reached the point of exhaustion, your fleet has become a turtle in an urn, and can be wiped out by us at any time, relying on them cannot even cause a little trouble to our army, there is no hope for you to rely on them to counterattack, do you want to break through, there are primeval jungles on the south, east and west, how far can you go? The Sultan has declared himself a vassal state of China, and has raised an army of 100,000 to attack you again. ”

"Your cannons and muskets are useless, our cannons are more than yours, we fight you farther, everything we do is more civilized than yours, and your massacre of our people here will surely be recorded on the pillar of shame in the history of mankind and spurned by generations."

"I exhort you to immediately order the whole army to lay down their arms and stop resisting, our army can guarantee the safety of your senior generals and all officers and soldiers, and only in this way is your only way to live. Think about it! If you think that's good, do it. If you still want to fight, then fight again, and you will be dealt with after all, the Presbyterian Military Council. ”

At this moment, the Dutch governor in Batavia finally couldn't control it anymore and punched the desk in the office.

"Damn! Damn it! These damned invaders, they want to take over the territory of my kingdom, they won't succeed, I swear, they won't! The Governor was furious, really angry, his face was hideous, and he roared loudly.

However, the governor forgot that Java was not them in the first place, they had taken this place after massacring a large number of the island's natives, and even if the Chinese were the so-called invaders, they would not be much better.

Let's not talk about the second brother.

Of course, the Chinese fleet did not take the opportunity to bombard Batavia, they have long regarded this place as their own thing, but they are careful to smash it, even if they will follow some concept of respecting private property afterwards and return part of the property to the Dutch, but, as a certain banker taught his son, take a piece of meat from here to there, although the meat is still meat, but you also have oil on your hands, isn't it?

The landing sites chosen by the Chinese army were somewhat difficult to fight, and their weapons were advanced, and they even set fires far away, as a prestige example of the use of advanced weapons, and the pressure on these officials was enormous.

"Damn, the Chinese must pay, Batavia is their grave!" The Governor gritted his teeth at the end.

Eventually, the governor ordered: "Open the warehouse, tell those natives that some Chinese have arrived, and while they are unstable, kill a Chinese soldier and get a gold coin!" ”

After the Dutch governor gave the order, he raised his head and shouted to the sky.

"It can't be, it means we're bankrupt!" Under the dish cooking system, of course, there will be opposition.

"No, it means that those natives have how much money they can get money, I just need those natives to consume the Chinese's bullets, I don't believe it, their bullets are so much!"

His Excellency the Governor had in mind that the great Kingdom of the Netherlands should be invincible and able to defeat all enemies, even the Chinese army.

As the governor's orders passed down, the natives who were robbing the Chinese also went crazy.

Gold!

It is very normal for the team to be chaotic, so even if it is only thirty miles away, the next day, Sun Cisco did not see the real attacker, and it was only in the evening that the rested reconnaissance company sent back the news, and there seemed to be something unusual in the city.

Commanding power and organizational power are the standards of modernization, and the standards of modernization in later generations will still require the mobilization of troops to be judged by hours, let alone this era.

When those indigenous Wuyang Wuyang appeared, Sun Cisco felt very bored.
