After a day of discussions, the seven members of the Executive Committee were unable to make a decision on whether to go to war or to make peace, mainly because both sides had good reasons. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

War, does Australia have this strength, Australia's total population, plus those immigrants and natives who have not yet joined Australian citizenship, is not more than 10,000, the number of troops is only one company, and the full number of people in the navy is only one company, although most of the current naval soldiers are on the Perfect, and they can face the enemy several times.

Therefore, the peacemakers believe that it is very likely that the lives of these soldiers will be sacrificed to the war, and it is not a wise choice, and they can make peace first, and it is not too late to wait until the strength is strong in the future.

However, the warfarers believed that the Perfect could sail at full speed to twenty-five knots, and that the ship's recoilless guns could accurately hit the target at a distance of two thousand meters, and there was no reason to give up such an opportunity to make a difference.

The main point of contention between the two sides is here, and the peacemakers still believe that if the war is lost, there will be no room for peace, and this will definitely have an impact on the development of Australia.

Xu Renguo and Wang Tiezhu are both military figures, and in fact, this time reflects the difference in views between military personnel and government personnel.

At present, there is no clear provision in Australian law that soldiers cannot interfere in politics, so the two of them can be elected as members, it is estimated that other members of the executive committee will have opinions after this time, and the corresponding law will also come out, after all, Yang Yike has always been worried that Xu Ren and other military personnel will engage in independence.

The discussion continues, but the situation in Hong Kong's overseas territories is not tolerated, except for returns, no one has sold the materials originally purchased by Australia to Australians, which is intended to completely block Australia and make them compromise, otherwise they will never give up.

Wu Zhengdao, Zhou Yang and others anxiously waited for a domestic response, while observing the development of the situation, during this period, the Zheng family did not send people over for peace talks, it seems that they have settled on the Australians.

After all, in their opinion, outsiders like the old Australian have no roots in Daming, and it is impossible to have any threat, even if the big hammer seems to be huge, but in their opinion, the combat effectiveness should not be large, just a large cargo ship.

Even if the Perfect had a certain combat effectiveness, Zheng Zhibao didn't think that it could defeat a few warships, so in his erroneous perception, the battle of the Perfect was seriously underestimated.

Although Australia was very angry about the return, it would be a bit too much not to allow Australia to purchase goods in the future, and the telegram was sent back to the mainland, and the committee members, who were still discussing whether to go to war or peace talks, began a heated debate again.

Wang Tiehammer believes that this is the Zheng family's declaration of war against Australia, even if it yields, it will make the Spaniards and Dutch see Australia clearly, which will inevitably cause a chain reaction, once this happens, it is not as simple as facing a Zheng family.

Facing the Spanish fleet in Manila and the Dutch in Batavia, these are fierce rivals in Southeast Asia, and Australia is fighting against three major maritime powers at the same time, even if the Perfect is strong in combat, it is powerless.

Therefore, this battle must be fought, and it is most appropriate to take the Zheng family to kill chickens and show monkeys, as for how to fight, it can actually be studied carefully.

"The Zheng family had a monopoly on trade to Japan, and Australia proceeded from this point to cut off their trade routes to Japan and force them to give up unequal terms."

"Lao Wang's suggestion is good, Japan's trade is the economic lifeblood of the Zheng family, they will definitely not give up here, and at the same time, they will also send ships to fight, so that the battle can be far away from the Daming coast, at least it will not be affected."

Under the chain reflection, it is difficult to say whether the Spaniards and the Dutch will make the same choice as the Zheng family, these two countries are not good, if they really have any ideas, Australia will have to face these two forces at the same time, the key is that the fuel of the Perfect is gone, and in the future, Australia's capital ships will be dominated by wooden sailing ships of the same period.

Even if the speed of the steam engine is higher than theirs, this does not mean that the advantage is great, and both of them have at least a certain advantage in numbers.

Therefore, in the face of the Zheng family's aggressiveness, if Australia chooses peace talks, it must hold peace talks with these two regional forces, otherwise peace talks will be looking for death.

Under the elaboration of Xu Renguo, Wang Tiezhu and other military personnel, the executive committee finally agreed to a counterattack plan and carried out a regional counterattack plan against the Zheng family.

Wang Tiehammer focused his main counterattack on the Zheng family's trade route to Japan, and let Wu Zhengdao and others discuss the specific matters.

After receiving the telegram, Wu Zhengdao and the others could finally make a choice, and immediately took out the map and demarcated the route.

"We are here to stop it, and for the sake of safety, I recommend that all personnel get on board and that the construction work in Hong Kong be put on hold for the time being. When Zhou Yang, as the supreme person in charge of Hong Kong's overseas consulates, put forward this suggestion, he considered that the Zheng family would send people to fight against the personnel left behind in Hong Kong. ”

After all, there are only more than 100 fighters brought out by this voyage, including naval soldiers, and it is impossible to divide troops to fight in two places.

"I agree with this proposal, after all, the sea combat site is too far away from Hong Kong, and Fuzhou, Xiamen and other places are relatively close to this, once the Zheng family catches the left-behind personnel and threatens them, we really don't know how to deal with it for a while."

"Do you have any requirements from the military in this battle," several people discussed, and then asked Sun Yang, the head of the navy, who was also one of the personnel who supported the battle.

"We can fight at any time, without any problems, and it will not be a problem at all to deal with those merchant ships of the Zheng family."

"No, our focus is on hijacking the cargo of the merchant ship and attacking his warship, that's the point, Sun Yang, don't be mistaken."

"That's no problem, it's easier to deal with the Zheng family's merchant ships."

In Sun Yang's opinion, the combat effectiveness of merchant ships is obviously weaker, as long as the artillery goes down, the other party will surrender immediately, as for the Zheng family warships, those wooden sailing ships will become floating targets for the practice of the Perfect.

This time against the Zheng family, it can be said that it is an opportunity to show the combat effectiveness of the navy, and he will naturally not let it go, even if Wang Tiezhu did not say it in the telegram, he also knows what to do, and he cannot embarrass the navy.

Now the Navy is submitting an audit report on the expansion of the number of ships, and if this battle is won, it will definitely be of great help to the audit.

"That's good, the big guy has a good rest tonight, move some important equipment on the ship, give up here for the time being, let's set off early tomorrow morning, let the old Zheng family see Australia's counterattack." Wu Zhengdao looked at the time on his watch, and finally announced the end of the meeting.
