Chapter 239: Batavia's Decision

At the beginning, the Australians proposed that the two sides should send embassies to each other in order to facilitate exchanges between the two sides, and the purpose was to solve some disputes well, but at this time, because the information was not smooth, the real role of the embassy was not very large.

It is the Australian embassy that plays a real role, after all, only they have a radio station to communicate, and only with radio contact can the information they know be quickly sent back to China, and then processed by the domestic think tank.

Therefore, the establishment of the Dutch embassy in Australia actually played a small role, but Nick still assigned a merchant ship that was not yet full of goods to sail on the same day and send the news back to Batavia quickly, which was very important for Batavia.

After all, time waits for no one, once the Australians decide to go to war, then he can also prepare His Excellency the Governor in advance to deal with it, of course, the most important thing is not to go to war, after all, he doesn't want to see a war between the two sides because of this matter, so the Spaniards take advantage, so he must quickly send the news back.

Compared to the nervousness of the Dutch, the Spaniards seemed to have nothing to do, except to summon their ambassador at first, and then saw them easily come out of the Australian diplomatic service, which made Nick very puzzled whether there was some kind of collusion between the two of them, or some other exchange of interests.

Anyway, he always has to send the news back, and he must give them an explanation before the Australians start a war, this is the time that Wu Zhengdao bought him, and if he misses this time, then Wu Zhengdao has no way to redeem it.

When the news reached the Governor of Batavia, Van Dimen, he only felt very depressed, all the spies he sent were arrested, it was unimaginable, this was absolutely impossible, they were specially trained, could it be that the intelligence department of the Australians was so powerful.

But the news sent back by Nick, he paid attention to it, the Australians were already mobilizing the army, and there was a formation of nearly ten warships in training, and the army was also preparing for landing, could it be that they really wanted to start a war.

Damn, do they really care so much, the intelligence network in Australia is all overwhelmed, and there is really no way to say such a mess.

Now the Australians have to come up with a reasonable explanation, otherwise they will be convicted of invasion, which means war with Australia, and he definitely does not want to go to war with Australia, and Nick also mentioned in the letter that the Australians have mobilized ten warships, and their warships are taller than the Netherlands, and their combat effectiveness is definitely not lower than their own side.

What's more, in the previous battle with Manila, the Netherlands did not have a slight advantage, which fully illustrates the fact that the Australians are very strong, and they can defeat each other even if they do not rely on tactics, just weapons.

So you can't go to war with the Australians, you must give a reasonable explanation, what explanation can convince the Australians, which makes Van Diemen very difficult, I have to say that the Australians are not stupid, and it is impossible to convince them without a reasonable explanation.

In saying that they mobilized the army this time, they must want to get a little benefit from themselves, without a little benefit, how could they give up easily, of course, the main reason is that those spies were exposed, they were exposed to the sight of the Australians, what a bunch of fools, don't they know how to hide well.

If it was just those ordinary intelligence officers exposed, it would be forgotten, but even Darcy sent from the mainland was arrested, which made Van Dimen can't believe that the counter-espionage ability of the Australians is so high, is it really invincible.

Invincible or invincible don't know, but now people want you to explain, you sent a large number of spies to lurk in various industries in other countries, this kind of behavior is very shameful, if there is no reasonable explanation, I am afraid it will be difficult to clear your own involvement.

"Give the Australians more access to the area around Manila, and give them this place." Van Dimen pointed to the map and asked the others.

Giving some of the islands and land around Malacca to Australians seems like a good choice, but whether Australians will agree.

"Whether they agree or not, that's our attitude, and we have to absolutely dissociate ourselves from this matter and put the blame on the local people."

A group of high-ranking officials in Batavia discussed how to solve the problem, and at present, it seems that the only solution is to give some of the land to the Australians, in fact, these places are not completely controlled by the Dutch, and it is also good for them to give the Australians some energy to the Australians.

At the end of the discussion, Van Dimen ordered the news to be sent to Australia overnight, and at the same time informed the Australian embassy in Batavia, he knew that Australians had a special way of contacting the mainland, and quickly sent the news back.

They haven't seen this thing before, and they've always wanted to get one, but the Australians are very strict and will never provide this technology, so they can't help it.

The purpose of notifying the Australian embassy is to let them send the news back, so as not to miss the opportunity, but at this time the Australian warship has already departed, even if they receive the news, they will sail, this formation mission is the first time that the navy has assembled a large-scale ship to sail the mission.

Of course, the main purpose is that they want to give the Dutch a deterrent effect, so that they know that Australia does not lack combat capabilities and can enter a state of combat readiness at any time.

So while Van Dimen was happy, Nick was very worried, after all, he saw the warship leaving the port, and their whereabouts were unknown, so he could only turn to Wu Zhengdao again, hoping to get some useful news from him.

It's just that Wu Zhengdao's message to him is to reassure him that if Goalkeeper Van Diye tells the news to the Australian embassy, they can contact the ship through the radio and cancel the battle.

Although Wu Zhengdao was relieved, Nick was still very worried, after all, there would be a lot of accidents, in case the warship that sailed did not receive the news and launched an attack, it would be a big blow to Batavia, but at this moment he could do very limited, he could only pray that everything was not as he thought, if it was really as he thought, then the alliance between Australia and the Netherlands would be completely nullified.
