The distance from Batavia to Chang'an Town is at least more than 2,000 kilometers, and there are very few islands that can dock ships, and even if there are, it is impossible for the Dutch to know the current situation, but Dutch merchants must know the nautical charts of this section if they want to transport a shipload of immigrants to the Australian mainland.

In order to solve the situation of low shipping capacity in the country, as well as to solve the situation of lack of supplies, the Executive Committee agreed to the resolution of the open nautical charts as early as Qi Yu's first trip to Batavia.

Although the nautical chart is a very important thing in this era, no less than a treasure map, the public may bring a lot of trouble to the crossing, but for the rapid development of Australia, it is necessary to carry out trade and exchanges with foreign countries, only the Australian goods continue to be exchanged, in exchange for more original materials, so as to develop rapidly, while enjoying the benefits of industrialization.

To say that the Dutch have always been curious about Australia, a mysterious oriental country established by the Easterners, the main reason for the curiosity is the perfect ship and the mirror, the country that can build such a steel giant ship will definitely not be as simple as imagined, at least one thing can prove everything, this country is very strong in shipbuilding.

The various ship parts ordered from the Netherlands have been shipped to Batavia, these goods are not directly unloaded, but Jane will be directly transported to Australia, these parts are built in accordance with the requirements of the Australians, although I can't see the shape of the ship, but we can know that this must be a small sea ship, because the Australians transported back the main keel is much longer than the Dutch sailing ship.

In order to avoid theft of technology, Lin Wendong, a shipbuilding expert, adopted a component distribution plan that was supported by many people in the industrial team, and for some important parts, completely local manufacturing.

The order was lost, the drawings were given, and there were hundreds of shipyards in the Netherlands, and the matter was directly handed over to the Governor's Palace of Batavia, who contacted the shipyards in the Netherlands.

According to the contract, the first batch of parts will be carefully delivered in mid-November this year, and if there is a human breach of contract, the Dutch will pay a liquidated damages, but the Dutch are still very ethical and reputable in this regard.

A telegram from the Batavian garrison knew that the Dutch would soon reach Chang'an Town, and that the cargo was escorted by five expert merchant ships and hundreds of escorts.

After the news was sent back, it was immediately valued by the Executive Committee, the first arrival of the Dutch also meant that Australia was shown in front of the Dutch for the first time, the scale of Chang'an Town is not large at present, and the population is not as large as there, but the luxury of the building is not much smaller than Batavia.

"Externally, we can say that Chang'an Town is a border port city in Australia, and our capital is inland.

The Dutch were notoriously shrewd, and although such a practice might be known sooner or later, there can be no doubt that Australia would be able to develop the strength to counter the Viceroyalty of Batavia after a year or two.

At present, the total population of Chang'an Town is more than 3,000 people, and if you count the army and the planned natives, it is about 4,000 people, and such a small town is still a little difficult to face the Dutch Viceroyalty of Batavia, and the number of troops in this area alone is at least more than 2,000.

More than 2,000 people can directly participate in the battle, which is estimated to be the only strength in the whole of Southeast Asia, but Spain is already on the decline, and has not accounted for the slightest advantage in several encounters with the Netherlands.

But even so, it cannot be said that Spain does not have strength, as the existence of the second most powerful in the region, it has always been the target of the Dutch.

After all, the intelligence work in this period was not as rigorous as that of later generations, and the curiosity about Australia was not only for the Dutch, but also for the entire Westerners operating in the Far East.

"Captain Elder, how long do we have to get to the Australian mainland," asked a blonde man in plain clothes on a sailed Galen to the captain. Although from the outside, the status gap between the two people should be large, but the truth is that Elder has a lower status than the man.

The man was an officer of the Viceroyalty of Batavia, named Nick, and the main purpose of this voyage to Australia was to investigate the actual situation of the Australians.

Although the Australian old man gave a nautical chart and a detailed navigation route, the Dutch also wanted to know more about Australia, after all, this new creature could be in danger of his position in the region, and if that was the case, then something had to be done.

The idea of the Netherlands is to eliminate all existing threats, which is one of the most effective ways to ensure security, but the situation may not necessarily develop the way they think.

Nick is an ordinary lieutenant, with a certain talent in intelligence work, and was selected by the Viceroyalty of Batavia to Australia to investigate the facts, and there are more than a dozen Dutch spies who came this time, and their identities include crew members, soldiers, and ordinary laborers, in short, the Dutch are eager to investigate Australia clearly.

"Mr. Lieutenant, according to the instructions on the map, it should be our destination this time not far ahead, which is a border seaport town in Australia." Captain Elder pointed to the sea, where there was no continent in sight, and said that he had no doubt said nothing.

"Can we sail to land before dark?" Nick has been adrift at sea for ten days, and his desire for land is no less than that of a man in the desert who wants to find an oasis, the turbulence of the sea makes him a little unbearable, and the food is relatively simple.

"If there are no accidents, we will be able to arrive accurately, there is no doubt about that, Mr. Lieutenant, I can assure you that you will be able to set foot on Australian soil tonight and eat their delicious food."

Although Captain Elder is an experienced old captain, he is actually quite apprehensive about driving on an unfamiliar route, because an accident may make you fall into the brink of death, not to mention, and may die directly.

His current assurances and speculations were in fact entirely based on the quality of mind and composure he had been sailing for many years.
