Yue Xiaofei spoke straightforwardly and frankly, these are basically things that can be seen. Now that the most important trade route for the Free State has been settled, all that remains is the delivery of goods here, the arrangement of regular passenger ships, and other trivial matters.

Of course, it is obvious that there will be a battle with the British when the matter is completed, and it is estimated that Holliman will only be happy to hear this news.

The rest is to rapidly expand the shipbuilding of the Free State of China, and strive to increase the number of cargo ships to as many as two ~ three thousand within two years, which is about enough to invade Europe with the economy! As for the invasion of Europe by force, it is still a rather distant existence.

After a "frank" conversation between the two high-ranking officials, the port of Batavia was bustling with activity during the day because of the arrival of the Huofeng-class cruisers and marines.

The initial landing of the powerful marines of the Shenzhou Army caused fear among some people, and the high-ranking people of Batavia, who knew the truth, were secretly happy, at least so far, their benefits were much higher than under the rule of the Kingdom of the Netherlands in the past!

In the past, the Spice Route belonged to the Kingdom of the Netherlands, but now the Spice Route belongs entirely to Batavia. As for the Dutch naval fleet that was once stationed here, in the face of these "strange" warships, they quickly found someone they could visit, and that person was the commander of the Shenzhou fleet, Yiyi Holliman.

Today, on warships that have the ability to sail long distances, the food is much better than when patrolling the coastal waters in the past. Canned food is still indispensable, but it is much better than all the so-called "biscuits" and potatoes that have been on ships in other countries.

At the same time, because of the addition of a considerable number of former Dutch naval officers, the food ration has some characteristics of Dutch cuisine. This is probably also the consideration of the Shenzhou military out of humanity.

On the plate in front of Holliman, there was a greenish and yellow "thick bean paste soup", and in the face of such a thing, Huang Kehui would rather drink two more glasses of the drink that was jokingly called "sour water" and lemon.

This is the officers' dining room, and there is still a small compartment in the form of a carriage in the small place, separated by a partition. The only difference is that there is no partition in the dining room of an ordinary soldier.

Just like the guards of the army commanders, they always like to put a tablecloth for their commanders. The only difference between this and a soldier is about the same!

In the dining room, on both sides of the door are canned food racks for "self-service canned meals". Of course, there are all kinds of canned food on it, and of course, there are also chefs who can get some fresh fish and sea vegetables to put on the table as additives.

Due to the carrying capacity of warships, the Navy's recipes are much better than those of the Army, and at least these small boxes, which are only one-third of the Army's portion, can fully meet the Navy's needs for food diversification.

Of course, they also lack the means for the army to purchase some seasonal food, snacks, fresh vegetables, and so on at any time according to their needs.

In short, the Shenzhou Army is quite good compared to any army in this era.

Because, one of the grading criteria set by the soldiers' council for officers, as was the tradition of the German army in those days, was that the degree to which the officers cared about the soldiers, and this alone was enough for the officers to pay attention to the food of the soldiers during their tenure.

And when eating, it fully shows the difference between Chinese and Western concepts. Other Western officers from the Netherlands, or those who had been transferred from merchant captains, were accustomed to having their share to themselves, so they were confronted with a few small boxes in front of them.

On the other hand, the way of eating of the local Chinese officers is a bit interesting. Often three or two friends, each person brings not the same food, then there are so many tricks to see, of course, that thick bean paste soup still seems not to be liked by Chinese.

Holliman dealt with the smoked eel on his plate, and the silver cutlery and crystal plate in his hand were the cutlery he had brought on board, and the use of such cutlery made him think that eating was a luxurious pleasure, as if the taste seemed to his mouth to be a thing of little deed.

Similarly, the officers of the West seem to approve of this practice, and quite a few officers learn from Holliman, while the Eastern officers use porcelain plates from warships, but in terms of food selection, they seem to pay more attention to taste. Of course, this does not create a clear distinction between two camps, and more people choose to use crystal tableware and eat together, which is probably the result of the blending of different cultures.

As the deputy commander of the fleet, Huang Kehui sat near the deputy commander and chief of staff, and the other was the commander and chief of staff of the flagship. When eating, you can drink some of the original medicinal wine created by Renai Hospital, which has rheumatism and other elements, which is already the standard military product of the Shenzhou Army and Navy.

Of course, they are also the fist products that will be dumped by the Free State of China in the future to countries that love sailing, along with canned food and fruit juice drinks.

During lunch, a guard came up to Holliman's side. Due to the special nature of the navy, the guards on the warships are composed of one platoon per ship, which is responsible for the protection of officers when they leave the ship, as well as internal security work.

"Chief Holliman" The heavily armed guards came to Horry's side and saluted, "Report to the sir, someone has sent you a letter. ”

Holriman put down his knife and fork, and he glanced at the envelope with a little confusion, he had no friends in Batavia. On the envelope, not a word was written, only a fire paint seal.

"Oh, it's a letter from the Dutch Navy, but why did you give it to me?" The envelope and fire sign for the Dutch Navy made Holliman recognize the identity of the letter at a glance, and said that he handed the envelope to Huang Kehui casually, shouldn't this be given to him?

Huang Kehui didn't answer, just looked up and squeezed his teacher and said, "My dear teacher, this may not be an official letter, or maybe it's for you personally!" And if it's a woman who admires you, then ......! ”

Holliman sighed a little resignedly, the officers could push and hide for this kind of thing. This kind of thing is naturally not as good as going back and studying tactical problems, and the next time you take the general exam, it is serious to get a good score.

"Oh, it's these guys, what are they looking for me?"

Holliman unfolded the letter in his hand, but it was an invitation letter from the commander of the Dutch naval fleet here, which made him feel a little worried about it.

Essentially, it's not a big deal. The provisions in the "Iron and Blood Regulations" indicate that the subject has the right to maintain privacy in such private matters, except for military secrets and incidents.
