Chapter 238: The Dutchman's Reaction

Such a large-scale capture of spies does make Nick, the ambassador to Australia, very worried, to say that he is completely unaware, it may be too false, but it is impossible to know too much, after all, his level has not reached that level, which means that he actually does not know that the Netherlands sent spies to Australia. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Of course, as a young officer trusted by Van Diemen, he may not be able to say it if he doesn't know at all, after all, it's hard to say, but with Darcy's arrest and confession, the Dutch have been exposed to everyone, and it is certain that the Australians already know everything.

Nick was anxious to explain to Wu Zhengdao that this matter had nothing to do with the Viceroyalty of Batavia, but all the evidence showed that this matter had a lot to do with Batavia, not only did it have a lot to do with it, but there was also sufficient evidence that it was instructed by Van Diemen.

This made Nick very embarrassed, and originally wanted to see how the Spaniards explained, but from what he learned so far, the Spaniards did not send many spies, and the most important thing is that they did not infiltrate as much as the Australian companies.

If it weren't for this arrest, the traversers would not have known that they had been infiltrated so badly by the Dutch, and once all the important news was intercepted by the Dutch, then the secrets of Australia would also be exposed to the European powers.

In the face of such behavior of the Dutch, the Australian government made a solemn protest like Nick, this is not what should happen to two countries that should have normal exchanges, and an explanation must be given, otherwise Australia will definitely not stop there.

On the one hand, the Australian Army and Navy are also urgently assembling for training, and it can be seen from the wharf of the port that the Navy's ships have been moving frequently in recent days, and all signs show that the Australians are very angry.

Although Spain was also found to have sent spies, it seems that their tolerance is lower than that of the Netherlands, after all, the other party has not completely infiltrated the Australian factories, but only verbally expressed the hope that the Spanish government will respect the friendship between the two countries.

It is impossible to deny that the Australians are the closest to Australia, and the closest is the Australian base in Luzon, although there are not many garrisons there, but there is an army stationed in Hong Kong not far away.

The garrison of Hong Kong's overseas territory is very large, and there are only three naval ships, but the combat effectiveness of the three warships is not much lower than theirs, once the Australians want to go to war, it is difficult to say whether they can accept it, but Nick definitely does not want to see the two sides go to war.

The longer he stayed in Australia, the more he realized that the Australians were very powerful, not to mention their nationals, but the weapons they made could completely replace their own shortcomings of being few.

If he had a choice, he definitely didn't want Batavia to go to war with the Australians, and if it did, the Spaniards would definitely be on the side of the Australians.

Nick is also running around trying to find out the true intentions of the Australians, and among his friends in Australia, Wu Zhengdao is the most familiar with him, but he didn't find anyone after seeing him a few times, which made him realize the seriousness of the problem, whether the other party deliberately avoided him.

However, if Wu Zhengdao was busy negotiating with the Zheng family's uncle and nephew, he would not have thought so, and after countless door-to-door visits, he finally met the person he wanted to see.

Looking at Wu Zhengdao, a smile finally appeared on his face, and the anxiety he had felt for many days finally disappeared a lot.

"Wu, I finally saw you, I came here this time mainly to talk to you about espionage, this matter really has nothing to do with Batavia, you should know that Governor Van Dimen doesn't know all this."

Nick was busy explaining, but Wu Zhengdao did not rush to refute the other party's words, but poured him a glass of water.

"Well, I also think that this has nothing to do with President Van Diman, but the actual situation is to think more about the evidence that it has something to do with Batavia, this is a confession, you see."

Nick looked at the confession, he really didn't know what to say, and the confessions of more than two dozen people in it showed that they were assigned by Van Dymen to infiltrate Australia to steal information.

So all of this has a lot to do with Batavia, in front of the actual evidence, Nick really doesn't know what to say, this evidence he wants to deny, but can he deny it.

"Nick's matter is very serious, and this behavior of yours will seriously affect the relationship between the two sides, this is a test of our country before the invasion, and we must fight back."

"Are you saying that there is going to be war, this."

Nick didn't know what to say for a while, if there was a war because of this, wouldn't it be too bad, and the Spaniards also spies on Australia, wouldn't they have to pay the price?

"I think it's very likely, at present, our government has expressed a lot of importance to this, if you can't give a reasonable explanation, then you can only declare war, and you have also seen that the army is frequently moving and exercising, that is, combat preparations."

Wu Zhengdao had been authorized to deliberately pass on the news to Nick before he came, the purpose of which was to know that the Dutch were prepared to deal with this matter.

If you want to go to war, the Dutch will definitely not want to go to war, after all, what does war mean to them, and they themselves know that a war with Australia at this time will inevitably have a bad impact, so the Netherlands will compromise and exchange certain interests.

Nick will definitely send the news back as soon as possible, if nothing else, just to prevent the two sides from going to war, so he will definitely obstruct this.

"Wu, you must help me convince the officials of your country that there is definitely a chance to remedy this matter, and we will definitely give you a satisfactory answer, give me some time, okay?"

Nick's very sincere request asked Wu Zhengdao to convince the people of the Executive Committee, obviously he was more worried that Australia would really start a war, after all, the mobilized troops would not be fake, so he decided to write a letter to send the real situation here back, so that His Excellency the Governor knew what kind of mistake he had made.

This mistake will likely lead to the Viceroyalty of Batavia in a certain danger, so it is necessary to correct the mistake of His Excellency the Governor, for this he needs time, and the only one who can convince those high-ranking officials in Australia is Wu Zhengdao, after all, he knows that Wu Zhengdao's status is very high and has a certain influence.

"Okay, Nick, I'll try to buy you time, I don't want to see a war between the two sides, I hope you won't let me down, it's just a misunderstanding."
