Chapter 267: Dividing the Spoils

After Australia overwhelmingly forced Locke and Dulong to surrender with powerful artillery, the Spaniards and Dutch were not idle, and they also took the initiative to deal with those small groups of pirates. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

After all, this operation is a joint operation, if the credit is given to the Australians, what are they still playing, this is not in line with their original meaning, in the final analysis, they can come, not because there are interests, so they will come.

Pirates have been rampant for so many years, and they must have robbed a lot of gold and silver treasures, how to divide these things, and how to divide the ships, are all according to your combat efforts, if you don't have much effort, if you want to share so many things, you don't have to think about it, definitely not.

The Australians didn't agree, the Spaniards didn't, and even the Dutch wouldn't agree to Portugal, which came to make soy sauce, had as much as they shared. These pirates had nothing but gold and silver treasures, and they were the ships. Small fishing boats can be pulled back for resale, and large ones can be directly replenished into their respective fleets.

Australia is preparing to set up a Southeast Asian fleet, where will this ship come from, it will definitely not be domestic, domestic shipyards have limited capacity, and if they want to get so many ships at once, it will definitely not work, so the final result is still these pirate ships.

The captured pirate ships can be repaired or remodeled to serve as coastal defense, and the task of escorting merchant ships is still possible, after all, the Southeast Asian fleet does not need to fight, it only needs to patrol the waters of the two regions of Luzon Island and Malacca.

In this operation, the Dutch contributed a lot, although they were not facing the main combat force, but it was also an invitation from them, if the contribution was too small, it would be faceless, and he would also contribute as a regional power.

The Dutch have always regarded the whole of Southeast Asia as their territory, and the security here has a lot to do with them, and if the Australians completely steal the limelight, then he will basically be finished.

They had no choice but to fight, only by fighting could they keep their position, and seriously, they didn't want the Australians to completely steal the limelight from them, so how could they mix.

After some efforts, the Dutch also defeated all the pirates themselves, and captured a number of ships, but mainly small boats.

Although such a small boat is not worth much, it can still be sold for a few bucks to those fishermen.

The Spaniards also had a good harvest, and this time it was a very good one.

After the battle began, it seemed to be one-sided, allowing the Far Eastern Alliance fleet to win a few battles.

In this battle, except for the Portuguese, the other three parties have contributed a lot, and all the captured treasures and ships will be distributed according to this.

Australia will get the most distribution, this is absolute, as for Portugal, which plays soy sauce, it can only get the least, but for the unity of the alliance, it must be divided into a part of the spoils for them.

After the battle, all the prisoners and ships were temporarily taken to the city of Malacca for statistical distribution, and the pirates of the Dutch meant to kill them directly, so that they could make an example of the fate of the Dutch merchant ships.

As for the families of the pirates, the Dutch proposed to rush directly into the mines.

It doesn't make sense for this Australia, but for Locke and Dulong, who were captured by Australia, they want Australia to deal with it.

The Dutch were not interested in pirate captives either, and naturally had no opinion, and in their opinion it was more interesting to divide the treasure directly.

It has been determined where the prisoners of war will be sent in the end, and the spoils of war have also been determined, but the two large galleons captured by Australia must have been taken by themselves, and it does not matter if the treasure is taken a little.

Treasure is actually of little use, and the actual use of these ships is much more, in addition to being used as a warship, the greatest use is to transport goods.

As for those fishing boats, it would be nice to convert them into offshore defensive gunboats, but it may be a bit unrealistic to install guns, at most it would be nice to be armed with a machine gun.

As long as it can be loaded with machine guns, it can definitely deal with ordinary pirates, and the attack of the Far East Alliance fleet has also attracted Zheng Zhilong's great attention.

The alliance of the four countries to fight piracy allowed him to see the first joint operation of this group in the common foreign world, if there were no accidents, then it was possible that the end result would be that they might come against him, so the negotiations with the Australians must be accelerated.

It is necessary to form allies with the Australians, and only in this way can the safety of the Zheng family be guaranteed. However, speaking of which, the Zheng family does need Australia as an ally, and now that they have no advantage in the future, their advantage at sea is threatened by the military alliance in the Far East, so it will definitely not work like this.

This time, the four-nation alliance sent troops a bit strongly, with more than ten ships dispatched together, and such a large fleet to fight piracy is sure to win.

Wang Hammer has received news of his victory in Hong Kong, and now he is resting in Hong Kong, where the Perfect will soon return to the mainland, leaving four warships to garrison here.

Before returning to the mainland, the Perfect would make a trip to Malacca to make arrangements for the captured ships, and the Executive Committee had agreed to his request to give them to the Navy to form the Southeast Asian Fleet.

The ships of this fleet are mainly sails and manpower, and steam ships will not be mobilized to join for the time being, after all, the mainland and Hong Kong need steam ships more, as long as they can deal with ordinary pirates.

Pirates are the most defensible for Australia, and as for the Dutch and Spaniards, they dare not openly oppose Australia, this is certain.

Australia's strength in this operation is not small, and it can be seen that their combat ability is very strong, and the coverage of artillery can be said to be free of money, and there are hundreds of shells alone, which makes Portugal on the side dumbfounded, where is there such a fight.

Cannonballs also need money to buy, how can this Australians be the same as not wanting money, and they pay attention to the way of playing with artillery fire, so that you can't move in their artillery fire, move it, and the cannonballs will hit you, so it is certain that they don't want to encounter the opportunity to fight Australia.

As long as they are not stupid, they will not go to war with the Australians, Australia has shown its combat effectiveness, and the important thing at this time is to make these guys submit.

Sun Yang can be said to be very satisfied with this training battle, firstly, he can be regarded as having made military merits this time, and he will definitely be rewarded when he goes back, and the number of maritime battles is not much, and the opportunities for meritorious service are at least few, let alone this kind of direct military merit.
