Chapter 463 Civilized People Fight

The coalition fleet only consumed a few shells and bombs to allow the marines to successfully land on the Natuna Islands, and in addition to killing all the natives on the islands, the damage to the Chinese Empire was almost zero. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

But the officers and men of the coalition fleet did not see it that way.

Seymour sent a telegram back to Europe about the capture of Natuna, and received an immediate enthusiastic response, with congratulatory telegrams from dignitaries from various countries, and even medals to the commanders of their fleets.

However, there were also some cracks in the fleets of various countries.

The first is that the Dutch said that the Natuna Islands belonged to Borneo and that it had been determined before the Eastward Fleet of the Combined Fleet that Borneo was to be administered by the East Indies Colony of the Kingdom of the Netherlands and that it should be returned to the garrison and administration of the Kingdom of the Netherlands.

Immediately a representative of Austria-Hungary jumped out and said that according to the pre-war agreement, the Kingdom of the Netherlands had to pay military expenses to the countries in order to recover the colony of Borneo, and now the Dutch wanted to take back the colony without giving a penny, it was impossible.

When the Dutch representative heard this, he was furious, and pointed at the Austro-Hungarian representative without showing weakness and scolded: "You Austro-Hungarian only sent one battleship, are you here to pick up the bargain?" ”

"Your Dutch colonies are about to be lost, and you can only send one battleship to hold on, what right do you have to scold my motherland?"

The representative of Austria-Hungary, a tall and mighty bearded man, stood up and glared condescendingly at the Dutch representative.

"What do you want to do?" This made the diminutive Dutch representative feel a lot of pressure.

"God doesn't like you Dutch, and you've lost all your colonies!" Austria-Hungary had no colonies overseas, and it was inevitable that there was some envy and jealousy for the Netherlands, whose ancestors were "sea coachmen", and saliva splashed on the faces of the Dutch.

"What do you mean by that?"

The representative of the Netherlands, a boxing master, could not stand such an insult and could not help but punch it and open the nose of the representative of Austria-Hungary.

The Austro-Hungarian representative, whose face was covered in blood, did not hesitate to punch him.

As soon as the representative of the Netherlands bowed his head, he flashed over.

The Austro-Hungarian representative roared angrily, and the whole person pounced on him, hugging the Dutch representative and scuffling.

Most of the fleet commanders of various countries watched coldly, and Makarov, the commander of the fleet of Oros, was anxious, and he was worried that the European coalition forces would be dispersed, so he hurriedly came up to dissuade them: "Two gentlemen, everyone is from the European civilized world, how can they be like barbarians? ”

Yamamoto Gonbei of the Wa Kingdom was also worried that if he did not defeat the Chinese Imperial Navy, there would be changes within the coalition army, and he also hurried to dissuade him.

Out of the need for diplomatic checks and balances in the British Empire, Seymour, the commander-in-chief of the coalition fleet, deliberately let the two make a fuss, but now that the two have fought to the ground, and if they continue to make trouble, there will be deaths, so he stepped forward and said: "As for when to dispose of the recovered territories, the London Conference before the war did not agree, in order to work together to defeat the common enemy, I propose that before the end of the war, the issue of dealing with the territory should not be mentioned for the time being, and all the recovered territories should be under the unified control of the coalition forces!" Gentlemen, what do you think? ”

Immediately, a Mi Guoyan, who had no interests in the Far East of Asia, stood up and said: "Seymour is very right, we are here to conquer the barbarians who do not believe in God, and we should defeat the barbarians first and then talk about the distribution of benefits!" ”

The French Gaul chicken also said: "Yes! Unlike the barbarians of Asia, the civilized societies of Europe are very contract-conscious! After destroying the navy of the Huaxia Empire, let's talk about other things! ”

In fact, as long as the United States can defeat the Huaxia Navy and recover Alaska, the task will be completed, and the French will be able to say anything as long as they do not move the interests of their Annam colony, as for who owns the Natuna Islands, it is their business.

The naval forces of the Kingdom of the Netherlands and Austria-Hungary are very weak, and they are basically the role of playing soy sauce in the Far East.

As for the fact that both of them were injured, then the charges were thrown to the evil Chinese Empire, and after the war, maybe they could return to China to trumpet that they personally went into battle to fight the barbarians of the Far East in hand-to-hand combat, and in the end, the two of them were wounded and killed hundreds of people who did not believe in God.

In this way, the two thought in their hearts that after they returned, the scars on their faces would be all the rage, and they would become the idols of thousands of noble ladies and young girls, and from then on, a large number of women would automatically be sent to their beds.

Thinking of this, the representatives of the Kingdom of the Netherlands and the Austro-Hungarian Empire had a meaningful smile on their faces.

After the game of two small countries was over with a perfect result, Seymour knew that the matter was only temporarily resolved, and the most important thing was to eliminate the Huaxia Navy as soon as possible, otherwise the coalition forces would become infighting, which would not be fun.

As a result, Seymour decided: "The coalition fleet immediately went north to fight a decisive battle with the Chinese navy and completely wipe it out." ”

However, there is still a little bit of contradiction, and that person is the British Empire's own man, Rear Admiral Paramount.

Although Rear Admiral Paramount has a naval rank, he is in command of the airship forces of the European coalition.

He stood up and said, "Your Excellency, I suggest that you send airships to reconnoiter first, and if the enemy situation does not change, then send out the large fleet to destroy the enemy fleet, and use airships to bombard enemy ports and cities on a large scale!" ”

Seymour frowned when he heard this, and said in a somewhat cold tone: "It's a waste of time, it's better for the fleet to go out first, and then you follow, scare those savage primitive tribesmen in the sky, and the fleet will take the opportunity to fight them!" ”

In Seymour's mind, the biggest effect of the airship flying overhead is only to frighten people, and for his own people, it is just a placebo to deal with the mysterious Orientalphobia, and it has no effect at all in actual combat.

"I'm afraid that the Huaxia Navy will have an ambush trap in front, waiting for us to get into it!"

Seymour listened to Paramount's words and said very unhappily, "Trap? The Chinese Army is just that, what capital does the Navy have to lay a trap? How many battleships did they have? Dare to set a trap on the combined fleet of the entire civilized world, I would love to see it! Ha ha! ”

Speaking of which, Seymour burst out laughing.

The commanders of the fleets of all countries also burst out laughing, and their judgment was the same as Seymour's.

Gonbei Yamamoto in the crowd, although he remembered that the young staff officer in the Japanese fleet headquarters had said the same thing as Paramount, he still laughed with the crowd.

At this time, he was eager to immediately dispatch the combined fleet to destroy the murderous Huaxia Navy and save the Wa Kingdom from the sea of corpses and blood.

Even the scholar general Makarov laughed as if he didn't have any thoughts.

He may have thought that this would really save the whole of Oros from defeat. (To be continued.) )
