The Wyvern Gang fleet bombed overseas for a whole day and a night, as if the shells and gunpowder were all for nothing, like the meteor shower that smashed fatally around the port of Batavia.

Finally, the fleet of the Wyvern Gang stopped, but the movement of the Wyvern Gang fleet on the sea was confusing, and even made it difficult for Colonel Lincoln, who was in command, to choose.

The Wyvern fleet came quickly, so that the defenders of the port of Batavia were not alerted, and almost did not have time to defend; But they also went quickly, as if this attack was just to say hello and show off their might.

"Report to Your Excellency, the fleet of the Wyvern Gang has left, and we have no threat for the time being!"

While the other party was leaving, Colonel Lincoln, while instructing the soldiers to count the losses, did not forget to rush back to the governor's palace to report the results of the battle to His Excellency James.

"This is what you call a pirate gang, it's so rampant and unscrupulous!"

After being frightened for a day, it must be false to say that James was not afraid in his heart, and after the sound of artillery fire stopped, in front of Lincoln and others, James was furious and angry.

"What you told me before, the matter of contacting the forces of other kingdoms in Europe is right, I fully support you, at least until this gang of bandits is eliminated, we can accept the temporary loss of interests!"

After experiencing the attack of the real Wyvern Gang, the previous contempt for the pirate force has long been taken back by James.

Now it seems that the powerful level of the Eastern pirate forces has long surpassed the Western Mediterranean pirate team, at least the Western pirate gang forces, which rarely have such the courage to brazenly attack an important port heavily defended.

Anyway, this is the central defense area of the Dutch colony in Java, and in the Mediterranean, there is basically no pirate who would be stupid enough to act like this.

Not to mention whether or not this strength is captured, just because of this will cause a targeted attack on a kingdom, no pirate will be stupid enough to make this choice.

But this Wyvern Gang did this, and it did it so arrogantly, for the newly appointed governor of the Netherlands, it was simply a naked slap in the face, how could it be endured.

Unexpectedly, an attack by the Wyvern Gang made Lincoln gain a lot, and with the support of Governor James, then he, the commander of the Naval Division, would have more room to operate.

"By the way, where are these pirates?"

After venting, James cared about the final fate of this group of opponents, in order to prove that Batavia was really safe.

"This is still being investigated, but they don't seem to want to give up!"

Hearing this, the glimmer of joy that had just flashed in Colonel Lincoln's heart vanished, and then he said his estimate with a calm atmosphere: "The lower officer suspects that they are going west to attack our most important stronghold in Malacca, Indonesia-Pulozhong. ”

Making such a judgment was the most likely plan that Colonel Lincoln finally came up with by putting himself in the other side's shoes.

You must know that now Colonel Lincoln, in order to form a coalition with the colonial forces of Western countries and jointly safeguard the interests in the Indonesian archipelago, has reached an agreement that the fleet will be merged and the future garrison location will be selected in Batavia.

First, it is convenient for everyone to communicate with each other, after all, the colonies of the major powers in the Indonesian archipelago are all on the main islands of Indonesia, which are closer to the east.

Second, it can also let everyone see the sincerity of their Dutch people, there are warships of various forces directly stationed in Batavia, doesn't it mean that the warships of other forces can carry out deadly attacks on Batavia at any time?

It's just that in this way, the garrison of this important choke point in Puzhong is weak, and a large number of warships and soldiers have been transferred here, resulting in only more than 200 soldiers in the port of Puzhong, plus the local mercenaries and island black slaves and other guards, it is only one or two thousand.

"Prozhong?"

Governor James was stunned for a moment, then reacted to the significance of this place, and hurriedly said to Colonel Lincoln: "This place can't be lost, if we lose this place, our shipping trade in the Far East will be greatly affected, and it is not even less affected than the capture of our current Batavia Governor's Palace." ”

"This subordinate naturally thought of it, but the subordinate is only afraid, and the fleet of the Wyvern Gang is using this as a threat to force our only fleet to go to sea to fight with it."

"With the strength of the naval fleet we have now, if we want to face off against the other team's fleet at sea, our subordinates think that the odds of victory will not be fought."

"If it weren't for the threat and help of our Batavia port defense forces this time, the Wyvern Gang fleet would dare to enter the harbor and have a life-and-death battle with our fleet."

"If we lose this last force, even if other European powers unite again, we may not be able to compete with each other again."

"And on the kingdom's side, even if the supporting fleet is excluded, it will be at least half a year later, not to mention that His Excellency the Governor should know better whether the kingdom will send reinforcements over, and how many reinforcements will be sent."

Lincoln breathed out his concerns, in his opinion, as long as the fleet in his hand still retains its strength, when the warships of other European powers are in place one after another, they still have the strength to fight with the fleet of the Wyverns.

Presumably, this fleet of the Flying Dragon Gang should also be the last force in their hands, and the previous ambush battle, although it failed to establish a full success, but it also made the Flying Dragon Gang hurt their muscles and bones, and suffered heavy losses.

Now that the Netherlands still has this fleet in hand, and with Upper Batavia and other European powers, even if they lose control of Prozhong in the short term, they will still be able to recover it sooner or later.

But if you rush to the rescue of Puluo and run into the fleet of the Wyvern Gang that happened to be blocked in the middle of the robbery, it is very likely that the dozen or so warships in your hands that have been gathered with great difficulty will be wiped out again, and you will completely lose the bargaining chips against the Wyvern Gang.

"Your Excellency the Governor, the battle damage report has been released, please check it."

Bad things always come in droves, Colonel Lincoln and James have not been able to make a plan for how to deal with it next, and the soldiers who walked in at the door and sent a battle report once again made James Island Lincoln feel pain.

"The port of Batavia was caught fire by shelling, and although the fire was quickly contained, it also burned down one-quarter of the houses in Batavia."

"Five ships sank in the harbor, one of them was the battleship Dreamy Paris, one was an armed merchant ship, and the remaining three were cargo ships full of cargo ready to return home."
