The intelligence work of the Dutch is very good, to say that since they have formulated a plan to attack the Ming Dynasty, it is indispensable that the intelligence may be leaked, but this time they did a very good job, except for a few generals who know the final location, the rest of the people do not know where they are going to attack. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Perhaps they sensed that Australia's intelligence network had penetrated deep into Batavia, so they took precautions, and in any case, this showed one thing, that is, this time they simply could not obtain accurate information.

The Zhoubillians had already arrived in Batavia and personally carried out intelligence work on the Netherlands, and the Dutch had really done a very good job of secrecy, and there was no leakage.

Minister, our people simply don't have access to this top secret this time, and I think we should consider doing it in a different way.

In another way, there is no time now, the Dutch have already started a war, and they only hope that the military exercises of the Ming Dynasty can be carried out as scheduled.

This was the first time that Billy had not received the information he wanted, so he was a little disappointed anyway.

And Zhou Yang in Guangzhou has already begun to help Shen Youlong coordinate military exercises between various ministries, and it will be over if it is not carried out.

My lord, the officers and men participating in the exercise between the various divisions have been assembled, and our two Guangzhou Naval Divisions are sure to defeat each other.

The officers and men of the naval division have always been looked down upon, and the warships used to be dilapidated, but now they have initially possessed a certain combat effectiveness after several upgrades, so they naturally hope to be able to fight with the Dutch at this time to determine their position.

However, in Australia's view, it must be a bit difficult for the Liangguang naval division to defeat the Dutch, and the Dutch warships were mainly equipped with 26-pounder guns exported from Australia, which were much more powerful than the Hongyi cannons used by the Ming Dynasty.

The range alone is much farther than them, and they are much stronger than them in one or other aspects, and they are not comparable in mobility, so Australia does not support them to send troops at this time.

The Dutch still have combat effectiveness, even the Spaniards do not dare to attack each other when their side is weak, let alone the sailors of the Ming Dynasty, to say that the Zheng family may still have the possibility of a war, which is also the main reason why the Dutch chose Liangguang to attack.

Of course, in their opinion, the strength of Liangguang is not good, and it is definitely not their opponent, but in Australia's view, if the Liangguang naval division has a few more modified warships, it will greatly improve the current situation.

Not to mention anything else, the number of transformed warships will definitely be able to help the other side gain a lot of initiative on the battlefield, and there is no need to have the initiative on the battlefield as it is now. So the idea that they wanted to fight the Dutch was rejected by Australia.

The most important thing now is to do a good job in the exercise, and only by doing a good job in the exercise can we gain time, and in terms of time, Australia can free up its hands to mobilize troops and materials, and at present, a large number of materials in Australia have been shipped to Hong Kong, and a large amount of materials will be stored here.

Once the war starts, the materials needed will reach a peak, and domestic manufacturers are already producing at full capacity.

For this military exercise, Hong Kong specially funded a part of the materials to Shen Yulong, which is now placed, if it is in the future, I am afraid that the Australian government will definitely be opposed by the domestic people, after all, the continuous aid to foreign countries is not what they want to see for their own people.

We should give the Dutch a heavy blow and let them know how good we are, Governor Zhou, you think you. Shen Youlong has always been very cautious, and he would not say such things, it seems that he has been influenced a lot by the officers of the Navy Division recently.

So he also wanted to teach the Dutch a lesson, but in Zhou Yang's view, there was no need at this time, if you want to think about the overall situation, the main opponent of Liangguang is still from land, and the Dutch's naval attack is also very limited.

After all, the strength of the entire Far East Dutch is no more than 5,000 people, and it may be very difficult for such a small number of troops to completely confront Liangguang, and with the secret funding of Australia, it can be said that there is no such possibility.

In any case, military exercises are exercises, and as for starting a war, it is no longer in Australia's plans.

Lord Shen, you need to stay calm at this time, I think you should know that the threat to Liangguang mainly comes from the land, and it is not right to focus too much energy on the sea at this time, once there is a change on the land, you will first face the attack of the Manchu army and other forces.

It is no longer a mystery that Liangguang is rich, and in the eyes of other forces, it will greatly increase their own power by occupying Liangguang, both in terms of money and in all aspects.

Once Liangguang is targeted, it will be very dangerous, at this time, the main thing is to use a military-like way to deter, and the next step is that Liangguang will send troops to Jiangxi.

Zhou Yang's analysis is also reasonable, in Shen Youlongkang's opinion, it is still very good, if you can, then use this way.

The location of the military exercise was to be held off the coast of Guangzhou, and the attack method of floating and agitating operations was adopted.

That is, the modified ships are used for mobile warfare, and those that have not been modified are attacked in a fixed defensive combat mode.

The artillery fire uses a 36-pounder cannon, which is a higher specification than the cannon used by the Dutch, which can be said to have a longer range and greater power, and has not yet been exported.

When borrowing, the time has been clearly specified, and it must be returned after the exercise, although Shen Youlong wants to leave a few and let Australia support it, but Zhou Yang made it clear that no, this cannon is a weapon prohibited by the National Security Council from exporting, and if it is exported, then he will definitely be punished for treason.

So Zhou Yang said to Shen Youlong, don't embarrass yourself, if there is one less, the Australian government will investigate it, and the possibility of withdrawing all aid is not ruled out, which makes Shen Youlong have to think about what the consequences will be if he leaves such a cannon.

Of course, the most important thing is this aid, in comparison, without these aids, Liangguang will fall into a crisis, just the food aid to the refugees made Shen Youlong have to give up such an idea, in the end he still dispelled the idea of secretly hiding a few cannons, or honestly borrow and repay, otherwise it would be troublesome if the aid was really canceled.
