In the late autumn of the twenty-third year of Chongzhen, when the land in the north was already filled with biting cold, the Indonesian archipelago was mild and sunny.

The return of the Dutch fleet made Governor Dander of the Batavia Governor's Mansion extremely terrified, and in the case of unintentional calculations, their fleet failed to complete the encirclement and suppression of the Wyvern fleet, and even their own fleet suffered heavy losses at night, which was not enough to ensure the Netherlands radiation territory in the Indonesian archipelago.

"Your Excellency, I have already made a suggestion to the captains of the naval divisions of the kingdoms of Spain, Portugal and other kingdoms, and from now on form a common alliance to clear and guard against the Wyvern Gang and the forces behind them."

Colonel Lincoln waited until his anger had subsided before he offered his opinion.

"Whatever you want, do whatever you want!"

Governor Dandell, contrary to his own fierce temper, looked at Lincoln with a feeble attitude after consuming his anger.

"The kingdom has made a decision that our rule in the Java colony has been unfavorable for more than a year, and finally decided to let me return to my country to accept other arrangements, and the new parcel has already departed, and it will arrive in two months."

"When the time comes, I will step down as the governor of Java, and even if I agree to these things now, when the new governor arrives, I can't tell what his attitude will be."

"Huh?"

Colonel Lincoln was stunned, compared to Governor Dandel's background, his news channels were still too weak when he got up at the bottom, if it weren't for Governor Dandell himself telling the truth, I'm afraid Colonel Lincoln would still be in the dark.

"Your Excellency, it is a humble duty that is not good, and you have taken all the responsibility on the side of the kingdom!!"

Lincoln was surprised, but he was also full of gratitude to Governor Dandell.

Over the years, the two of them have lived together in the Jawa colony, and they can be said to have taken care of him Lincoln Governor Dandell, but now Governor Dandell, who could have taken advantage of his still being in the position of governor, to declare a personal vendetta, has not done anything unfavorable to Lincoln until now.

"These things are my own responsibility, if I hadn't been blind and raised such a big hungry wolf as the Wyvern Gang, I can't say that there would be nothing that happened in the past year."

When the conspiracy of the Wyvern Gang was revealed, the information that Governor Dandell and the others could gather became more and more auspicious, so they were most likely able to think through what had happened in the past six months.

"But it's okay, even if I am no longer in charge of this claw depression affairs, but I am also a member of the Netherlands, and it is my duty to share the worries of the kingdom."

"Don't worry, do it!"

Governor Dandell was relieved when he thought of this, and began to come back to his senses and ask about Lincoln's gains after the war.

"Do you think the Wyvern Gang will come back?"

"Regarding this matter, the lowly position cannot give complete affirmation, but the possibility of the lowly position being killed is not low."

When Lincoln heard the news of Governor Dandel's imminent departure, his mood was a little heavier: "And it's not just the Wyverns who are worried about the lowly position. ”

"Just the strength of the Flying Dragon Gang, I feel that even if the other party has hidden something over the years, I'm afraid their strength is not so strong!"

"And looking back to reproduce the previous chaos, beware of the plan made for us, it is not like the handwriting of a group of gangs, but more like the handwriting of our army, some of them are too straightforward and ignore the details."

"If it's really just a group of pirate gangs who want to challenge the dominance of our European forces in Indonesia, we have all come and gone in the wind and rain over the years, and we have seen countless civil groups, and how many times have we really suffered losses?"

"But I'm afraid that behind them, there is also the force in the northeast interfering, so it will be difficult to deal with!"

"You mean?"

Governor Dandell was shocked, although his time in this position was short, but if things were really as complicated as Lincoln suspected, Dandell would have to be glad that he had left office this time.

"Do you think Hongmen is sure that he will be involved? Didn't this Flying Dragon Gang Zheng Zhilong say that he had a deep hatred with Hongmen? Would he be willing to cooperate with Hongmen? ”

"But that's right, if the price conditions are right, it's not impossible for him Zheng Zhilong to cooperate with Hongmen."

After all, Dandell is also a politician, and he is no stranger to things such as compromise of interests, and he quickly let go of his preconceived notions and nodded in agreement with Colonel Lincoln's judgment.

"If it is true that Hongmen has joined the chessboard of Indonesia, do you think that with our current strength, we will be able to stop the invasion of Hongmen/"

"With all due respect, if the strength of my Netherlands in the Indonesian archipelago alone is alone, not to mention that it is impossible to stop Hongmen from setting foot in the Indonesian archipelago now, even if we start a war with the Wyvern Gang, when the strength of the Far East Fleet is not damaged, it is impossible to stop the other party's footsteps."

Lincoln smiled wryly and shook his head, and replied very pessimistically, but then he picked himself up again and reported his next plan to Governor Dandel.

"But if several of our European fleets put aside their prejudices and reach a consensus in the waters of Indonesia, and everyone works together, it is not that they do not have the strength to fight with the Wyvern Gang and even the Hongmen fleet."

"Okay, you just let it go, I can't guarantee anything else, but if I'm still in this position for a day, then you don't have to worry about other things, hurry up!"

Dandell knew that no matter how much he did at this time, it would most likely end up being a wedding dress for the successor Governor of Java.

But it is reasonable that he Dander thinks that he is still a nobleman of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, and while enjoying his power, as long as he does not touch his own interests, he is not unable to do something beneficial to the kingdom and his successor.

"Thank you!!"

Lincoln was greatly moved and encouraged, and it was not until this moment that he suddenly discovered that in addition to the scavenging of money and the struggle for power, the boss above his head actually had a lot of shining points, not like other nobles and merchants, who only looked at immediate interests.

With the full support of Governor Dandel, Colonel Lincoln was able to act freely, and these days he saw warships flying red, white and blue flags shuttling through the seas of Indonesia, and returning to the port of Batavia, bringing back surprises, coldness, and gloom news.

As for Colonel Lincoln, his time was short, and without knowing what the attitude of the next governor would be, Lincoln had to finalize this alliance that would affect the future direction of Indonesian waters before Governor Dandel left office.
