232 Preparation before the incident

"We can't hesitate when it's time to do it, especially when it's time to catch it all in one go!"

Colonel Lincoln's categorical tone, coupled with his murderous expression, made Zheng Zhilong's heart on the side jump wildly.

Don't get me wrong, the reason why Zheng Zhilong's heart beat faster is not that he is afraid, but that he is excited.

The Wyvern Gang and the Shark Gang have done so many things, and they have spread all kinds of rumors and all kinds of bluffs, in order to let these foreign-haired devils in the West kill each other, and then they will reap the benefits of the Flying Dragon Gang and the Shark Gang.

"Are you sure?"

Governor Dandell was also impressed, but of course there were fears that other European colonial powers would really unite and challenge their strong position in the Netherlands.

"With our Far East Fleet alone, as well as the armed merchant ships of the East India Company, it is estimated that the odds of victory are more than half, and if you add the fleet of the Flying Dragon Gang of Zheng Zhilong, the subordinates are eighty percent sure!"

Colonel Lincoln seems to have regained the impression points lost in Governor Dandel, and although Governor Dandell has not said much on the surface, Colonel Lincoln can still feel the disappointment in his heart.

"With Colonel Lincoln's actions, my Wyvern Gang fleet can be assembled in a week at most."

Zheng Zhilong forcibly suppressed the excitement in his heart, and showed his heart to Governor Dandell with an attitude of worrying about the king.

"Okay, as long as this plan can be successful, then in the name of the Governor of Java, I will issue a contract for your Wyvern Gang to legally occupy West Nusa Deng Island, even if my Dander is transferred from the Java colony in the future, as long as my Dutch Kingdom continues to control the Indonesian archipelago, then this contract will have the legal effect of my Dutch Kingdom."

Governor Dandell was very satisfied with Zheng Zhilong's attitude, nodded his head in approval of Zheng Zhilong, and took the opportunity to give red dates to appease Zheng Zhilong's heart.

Even, in order to make Zheng Zhilong's team more combative, Governor Dandell Haite approved a sum of money, food and ammunition to Zheng Zhilong, so that he would not have to suffer from supplies.

"Thank you, Your Excellency, and please wait and see for our good news!"

Zheng Zhilong confidently retreated, and went back to prepare for the next battle, leaving Governor Dandell and Colonel Lincoln to continue to discuss the battle plan.

In the following week, both the warships of the Wyverns and the warships of the Dutch fleet began to converge in the port of Batavia, giving the sensitive people who lived and traveled here a sense of impending a storm.

There are rumors among the people that the Dutch have found the pirate lair that has played the Dutch people, and this is to take them down directly in one go to vent their hatred!

Of course, these rumors were originally released by the Dutch themselves, and in the bustling port of Batavia, such a major military operation of the Dutch fleet must not be concealed by the eyes and ears of those who have a heart, so if you want the other side to relax and tighten, then the Dutch people will inevitably need to release a few pretenses.

"Is the fleet assembled?"

This is the question Governor Dandell asks the most these days, and this is the first thing he wakes up almost every day.

"Preparations have been made, our Dutch fleet and the East India Company have drawn a total of fifteen armed merchant ships, and the Wyvern Gang has dispatched twenty-five capital warships and thirty armed sea ships."

Colonel Lincoln was well aware of the details of this military operation, and kept an eye on the assembly of the fleet, and after Zheng Zhilong gave a report on the completion of the assembly, he came back to Governor Dandell for the purpose of going on the expedition.

"Our army can go now!"

"Okay, have a good trip, take out the strength of my Dutch naval fleet, and do him a beautiful annihilation battle!"

Governor Dandell had already gambled his future at this time, whether it was for the killing of one of the captains of the Alba family's side branches, or for the previous losses of their Dutch fleet, he had to give a reasonable account to the kingdom headquarters.

If he can defeat the forces of several other European kingdoms in the Indonesian archipelago after this battle, then it means that the kingdom can exclusively enjoy the rich benefits brought by the Far East trade, and at the same time, he Dander can also throw the pot of everything before to this group of European opponents, which can be regarded as an explanation to the kingdom and the Alba family.

"Please listen to the horn of our army's triumph!"

Colonel Lincoln was well aware of Governor Dandel's dilemma at this time, and Governor Dandel's desperate action was not his Lincoln's last fight!

Unlike other colleagues in the kingdom who were of the same status as him, Colonel Lincoln had earned his current status by his own hands and feet, before his family was just an ordinary fisherman's family, and after him he hoped that his family would become one of the thousands of noble families in the Kingdom of the Netherlands, and from then on among the high society.

On a dark and windy night, dozens of warships that had been docked in the port of Batavia for more than a week quietly disappeared into the ocean, shaking off countless pairs of eyes that peeked at them from the shadows.

It wasn't until the second day that the sky was bright and the ordinary people suddenly found that the port, which had been a little congested before, was suddenly much quieter and spacious, and the huge Dutch warships were empty and nowhere to be found.

Three days later, more than 50 miles west of the sea area of Weigu Island, the Dutch fleet that was rushing with sails suddenly stopped and lowered all the sails.

"If we go further, there will be the eyes and ears of the Franc Aircraft Alliance, let's rest for a while and wait until late at night, and then make a breakthrough, and finally launch a surprise attack on the Franc Fleet on Weigu Island at dawn."

In the more than a week that took from the beginning of making up their minds to gathering the army and setting out, the Dutch people not only waited for the army to arrive, but also did not forget that they had sent their elite to Weigu Island to reconnoiter and understand the real situation on Weigu Island.

After all, Zheng Zhilong's Han identity is a hurdle that the Dutch people can't get over, and on such an important matter, how can they Dutch people sincerely believe the intelligence of an outsider!

"Remember, our actions must be in the formation of the opposing fleet in the first wave, and engage in a series of battles with them, so as to maximize the killing and sinking of the opposing warships and weaken their strength."

"Therefore, Vanguard Fleet, I hope that your fleet will be dominated by Gang Leader Zheng, and at least your thirty armed merchant ships will be needed as bait."

In the plan made by Colonel Lincoln, it was obvious that Zheng Zhilong's Flying Dragon Gang was to do the work of cannon fodder, and Zheng Zhilong had a murderous motive in his heart, and he almost became angry on the spot, but thinking about his plan, he held back again.

"Okay, my thirty wingmen, as the vanguard of the first batch, will definitely kill in the opponent's formation and create opportunities for our main force."
