"Duel?" The surroundings suddenly fell silent, and Feng Yuanshan and the others, who were sitting next to Wang Yue, all looked at Wang Yue with wide eyes because they didn't know the meaning of the Western duel.

"Hahaha!" Wang Yue thought it was funny, and looked at Lisa, who was blushing like an apple, it seemed that the offense to the Kingdom of Holland that Lieutenant Colonel Villa said was not the main reason, and the competition for beauty was definitely the real reason.

Wang Yue ignored him, but said to Putmans: "Mr. Putmans, did you send someone to duel with this official when you came from the city of Geranza?" That's what you're here for? ”

Putmans was also frightened by Villa's uncool behavior, and God testified that it had nothing to do with him, it was purely Lieutenant Colonel Villa's own impromptu performance.

Putmans, who was sweating profusely, hurriedly distinguished: "Oh, your Excellency Lord Wang, please believe me, this is definitely not my intention, but Lieutenant Colonel Villa's own personal decision, please believe me." ”

Putmans explained, and then glanced at Lieutenant Colonel Villa, this was someone else's territory, and he didn't want to die here.

Wang Yue looked at Lieutenant Colonel Villa contemptuously and said disdainfully: "Mr. Villa, you are just a small lieutenant colonel, and this official is a high-ranking official of the Ming government, may I ask what qualifications you have to ask this official for a duel." ”

Lieutenant Colonel Villa blushed and said, "You have insulted our great Netherlands Kingdom and our Putmans Chief, and I am naturally qualified to propose a duel to you." ”

"Oh!" Wang Yue stretched out his voice, as if suddenly realized, and said: "So that's the case, if that's the case, then can I understand that this official is also qualified to ask the king of your country for a duel, right?" ”

"You're ......!" Lieutenant Colonel Villa couldn't help but get angry, Wang Yue was right, his dueling request just now was really unreasonable, according to the Western duel rules, both sides of the duel must be people with similar statuses and titles, otherwise any commoner can ask the nobles for a duel, which is not chaotic.

Wang Yue's physical fitness is very good now, and his reaction ability is beyond ordinary people, but it is too bad to lose his identity when he duels with others.

Putmans hurriedly came out to play the round, "Okay, Your Excellency the King of the Great Ming, it was my subordinate who was wrong just now, I apologize to you for him, and ask for your forgiveness, even God will tolerate the mistakes of young people, isn't it?" ”

Wang Yue glanced at Villa again, and then said to Putmans: "Forget it, you all please go back, what the official should have said just now has been finished." ”

"Your Excellency, Lord Wang......!" Putmans wanted to argue again.

Wang Yue waved his hand and said, "Mr. Putmans, remember! You only have half a month, send off! ”

The meeting was over, and Putmans was so stunned that he could only leave, and the two soldiers walked into the office and made a gesture of please.

After Putmans left, Wang Yue smiled and said to Lisa, "Do you have many suitors?" Am I going to practice fencing diligently from now on? ”

"Oh, Lord Wang, things are not what you think, this is a misunderstanding!" Lisa hastened to explain.

"Alright, Miss Lisa, I'm just kidding." Wang Yue shrugged and said, "Now I'm going to study the military strategy with the officers." ”

It is inconvenient for Lisa to participate in such a meeting, because she is only Wang Yue's personal translator. However, Li Xuezhu, the confidential secretary, and Liu Ru, a reporter accompanying the army, have the right to participate, and in fact, there are not many secrets to speak of in military operations like this.

It is impossible to expect the Dutch to obediently leave, and in the end it will have to be resolved militarily.

The Dutch had a bad record in the late Ming Dynasty, and even the Dutch captain Brinkley did not admit himself: "The Dutch introduced themselves to the Chinese in the guise of international pirates." ”

Ever heard of the Dutch East India Company? The Dutch parliament has given it the horrific power to form an army, declare war on foreign countries, and try the people of the occupied territories. If there is any corporate spirit in the East India Company's operation of Taiwan, it is the greed, barbarism, and bloody cruelty of the primitive accumulation of capitalism.

The Dutch also attacked the Mirror Trench (Macau) five times, but were eventually repulsed by the Portuguese.

The Age of Discovery, this is a very moving term, and when people refer to this era, they always add some rhetoric, such as "magnificent" and the like. But behind this word, there is the bloody banditry of the jungle.

This era is like this, so history has only success or failure, and there is no right or wrong. Without the ability to restrain the robbers, they will not be soft when it comes to robbery.

If the rabbit country hadn't made mushroom eggs, would the American imperialists and Su Xiu be so gentle with you? Maybe it would have been knocked on the door a long time ago. Don't talk about all mankind, people live in this world and can never escape the shackles of race and group. There's nothing to say about this, if you're weak, other countries are going to bully you. The bright ones do not come, but the dark ones return.

Spain, at one time, wanted to organize a fleet to come to China and start a war with the Ming Dynasty. Spain did not come, and later Britain and France and other powers finally came. Why? In the final analysis, it is still the law of survival in this world, the law of the jungle, the survival of the fittest. It's stupid to count on other people's sympathy.

"Judging from the defensive posture of the Dutch, in order to sweep away the Dutch power in southern Taiwan, it is necessary to first take the Chichi fortress. There are two lanes in Dayuan Bay, the south side is deep and wide, and the Dutch blockade it with heavy artillery, and the north side is narrow and shallow, with sand and gravel siltation, and the Dutch lack defense. ”

Zhuang Suwen, commander of the Nanyang Fleet, analyzed the photos returned from reconnaissance and the map provided by Wang Yue.

"The distance between the city of Gelanza and the fortress of Chi is four kilometers, and the two cities are connected by sandbanks and shallows, so taking the fortress of Chi is equivalent to cutting off the connection between the city of Gelan and the big man, making it an isolated city."

For all the weapons currently used by the Tiance Army, Zhuang Suwen, as a senior officer, knows everything about it.

But he had already seen the reconnaissance video of the city of Geranza, and if he relied on mortars and recoilless guns to destroy this fortress made of granite, it was not a task that could be completed in a day. In fact, the tank is the most effective weapon, but unfortunately the slope is too steep, and even if the tank can climb up, the recoil of the shelling is likely to cause the tank to landslide, which is a headache.

The self-propelled howitzer had just been equipped with the 5th Regiment of the Army, he had seen it but did not know the performance, and it really looked like a new tank.
