Chapter 187: The Giant Ship Returns

For the traversers, the Perfect is not a giant ship that spans the ages, but also a symbol of their spiritual sustenance, and also a place of belonging to their sense of security. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

In fact, the threat from the sea is not big, except for the Dutch, no one has been able to log in to Australia, even if it is a pirate, they have to weigh what kind of Chang'an Town's troop deployment, ordinary pirates do not dare to log in at all.

After all, the troop situation of the entire Chang'an Town is relatively special, the total number of troops stationed here has reached several thousand, and if you want to attack here, the number of pirates must be at least 500 or more, but it is impossible for such a number of pirates not to be discovered by the Australian border guards.

Even if there are no patrol boats, the Coast Patrol is not vegetarian, and they conduct patrol training every day, whether it is windy or rainy, so the average pirate has no chance to go ashore at all.

As for the Dutch, they will not, at this time they are in a period of cooperation with Australia, and they also hope to use Australia to fight against Spain, but the premise is that Australia wants to cooperate with them, but from the current situation, Australia has no such plan, after all, it is not much to gain from uniting with them to deal with the Spaniards.

Now both sides have such thoughts, so they each took out a piece of territory to Australia, otherwise how could they easily give up the territory with the character of the expansion madman Van Diemen.

The Dutch had been investigating Australia for a long time, and in the last few months, they were surprised to find that the Australians' huge iron ship had disappeared, and there were no other ships in sight, which caused them to wonder where the Australians' ship had gone.

It would be too difficult for such a giant ship to hide, or that they would dock him in another dock area, or that it would have sunk at all, and that it would be impossible for Australia to have no rumors if such a major event happened.

But the Australians do use their transport ships to transport migrants, and they have never been seen using their own ships to transport migrants, but they are building ships in their shipyards, and the various parts ordered from Europe show that they are indeed building warships.

It's just that they haven't seen a ship until now, which has to make them wonder if the Australians have ships, this question is very worth thinking about, if not, then where did the Australian ships go, and what does that mean that they can relax their vigilance against Australians.

Van Dijman has been struggling with this, and if it is as he suspects, then does it mean that he can change his attitude towards the Australian, but he must be cautious about doing so.

Just when he wanted to change his attitude about this, a news came back from Australia, and the Australian shipyard suddenly had three more self-built ships, and from the appearance of them, they were twice as large as the warships of European countries, and all of them were white, although they were also made of wooden sails.

But in fact, its main voyage relies on steam engines, and the sails are only auxiliary power, this news made Van Diemen a little surprised, the Australians have not had a ship for several months, this will appear as soon as three ships, or more than twice the size of their own, which has to make them look at this matter carefully.

These three ships are known to be warships from the outside, because they are loaded with cannons, and Australia's artillery technology has always been higher than that of Europe, which is deniable, and it must be admitted that the Australians' shipbuilding technology and artillery are better.

The reason why Van Dimen is willing to cooperate with the Australians is also because he is afraid of their technology, and at the same time, he also has another idea, that is, to obtain technology from them, or import it directly, but the Australians gave him a very clear answer, it is impossible to obtain technology, and the technology of steam engines and the technology of making artillery are not announced to the public.

Of course, the finished artillery of the Australians is exported, which is equivalent to giving Van Dimen a hope, they can buy artillery from Australia, which is also a good choice, after all, the quality of artillery determines the victory or defeat of naval warfare.

The Australians are coming back strongly, and the appearance of three new warships in one face has made Van Dimen feel a lot of pressure, and it is difficult to say whether it will change the current situation, but one thing is certain, the Australians should not be underestimated.

In this case, it is necessary to be vigilant and prepare for what may happen, so at Van Dimen's request, the Dutch who stayed in Australia are increasingly watching the movements of the incoming people, and their purpose is to find out if the Australians will do anything harmful to Batavia.

When they saw the Perfect appear on the dock, they almost fell off without surprise, the Perfect was already very scary just by its huge body, but now looking at the cannon above, it seemed to be bigger than before, which made them feel the importance of the matter.

This news must be reported to His Excellency the Governor immediately, so that His Excellency the Governor must pay attention to this situation, I have to say that the Dutch intelligence officers are still very dedicated, the night the Perfect appeared, a Dutch merchant ship had already sailed to Batavia, of course, all this is under the monitoring of the Australian intelligence department, after all, the surveillance of them has not relaxed at all, don't look at Billy Zhou's absence, but he has arranged the local work in advance.

The reappearance of the Perfect, a giant ship representing Australia's maritime supremacy, means that the Australians may have new moves, and it can be seen from the cannons on his hull that the situation is not right, this is a giant ship with stronger combat effectiveness than before, and the Australians will have no rival with him on the entire ocean.

The important thing is that the other Australian warships are also much larger than the Dutch and the Spaniards, which makes them very stressed, just one is enough to make people stressed, and now there are two more ships that make people not live, so after receiving the news, Fan Dimen specially told the defense officer of the port to stick to it day and night, and report any movement in time.

After all, he is also afraid of the Australians' sudden attack, Australia has not been in an alliance with him, the relationship between the two sides is the same as Spain, and Spain has to get closer to Australia, which makes Van Dimen have to be jealous of the Spaniards.

However, everything can still be remedied, after all, the Dutch are responsible for the transportation of people in Australia, and the cooperation between the two sides can still be deepened, according to Van Diemen. (To be continued.) )
