The German colony of the islands of Papua, although not as generous as the British, also had a large plain to the north. Germany has carried out a certain amount of agricultural development here, and the economic benefits are significantly higher than those of the British colonies.

However, when the fleet was 10 kilometers from Madang, the radar crew on the flagship of the Second Fleet reported that two ships were approaching this direction.

Sun Hao didn't know that Kaiser Wilhelm II had already focused on himself, and he also sent the German Navy Supreme Marshal Hermann. Red came to negotiate with him. I didn't know that the British top brass had sent Field Marshal Donald, the supreme commander of the British Navy, to negotiate with him.

Soon, two cruisers flying the German flag appeared in front of the Second Fleet.

Because Sun Hao was standing on the bridge of the flagship, Lu Ping hurriedly walked over and persuaded Sun Hao to go to the command room, but Sun Hao refused. For the sake of Sun Hao's safety, Lu Ping ordered 20 destroyers and 10 cruisers to surround Germany.

Alfred received a message from the Supreme Commander of the Imperial Navy last night, Herman. Red's telegram, if this group of Ming descendants come to Madang, they must treat this mysterious Ming people well, and must not have conflicts, and can start tentative negotiations with them to test the true intentions and bottom lines of this Ming people.

Alfred on the bridge saw 20 destroyers and 10 battleships like small hills surrounding him, and he despised this descendant of the Ming Dynasty fiercely in his heart. Didn't you come to war? How dare they send so many warships around themselves, are they demonstrating to themselves?

"Lord Governor, their battleship is too big, and the main gun port is at least 15 inches." A sailor stood beside Alfred and said enviously.

"Yes! How nice it would be if our German Empire had such a powerful warship! Alfred also sighed.

Alfred is a retired officer in the army, so he doesn't understand the navy, but the size of this battleship with a displacement of tens of thousands of tons is placed here, as long as you are not a fool, you know that the strike ability of this battleship must be super strong.

Hendhari is an expert at the German Royal Shipyards and is well known in Germany. This time it was supposed to go to the Qing Dynasty to sell warships. However, Hender Harry and Alfred are good friends, so before arriving in the Qing Dynasty, Hender Harry first came to visit Alfred at his friend's place.

Unexpectedly, he got the news that a powerful fleet had appeared on the islands of Papua. Moreover, the displacement of the main battleships of this fleet has reached about 30,000 tons, and the caliber of the main guns has reached 15 inches.

Henderhari was also interested in such a powerful warship, so he asked to follow Alfred to meet this mysterious force.

"My old friend, how do you feel about this ship?" Alfred lowered his binoculars and looked at Hender Harry beside him.

"The number of main warships of this fleet is so large, the displacement has reached about 30,000 tons, and with those 15-inch guns, as long as the officers and men of this fleet are not fools, they have the ability to humiliate any fleet in the world.

And the power of all their ships is so strong, I guess it's not their highest speed. Some of the huge warships were only equipped with six main guns, could it be that they were trying to reduce the weight of the battleship and strike the enemy at high speeds? Hmph, Harry also put down the binoculars and looked ahead.

"Old friend, there are two kinds of their main battleships, one is installed with eight 15-inch twin main guns, and the other is installed with six twin 15-inch caliber main guns, I really don't know how this Ming people designed this battleship."

Hahaha! "My old friend, don't underestimate this group of Ming people, hundreds of years ago their navy was invincible, almost never encountered an opponent, the former powerful coachman sent a fleet to find trouble with the Ming people, only to be beaten and discarded their armor. The powerful Spaniards also went and tried it, and the result was the same. ”

Alfred nodded, although he is not a navy, it does not mean that he does not pay attention to the navy, the coachman and Spain had a powerful naval fleet in Europe back then, and even they were not the opponents of the Ming people, which is enough to prove that the combat effectiveness of the Ming navy in the East is quite strong.

Henderhari continued: "Old friend, hundreds of years ago they were able to build a kind of warship called the treasure ship, which was 124 meters long and 50 meters wide, powered by twelve hard sails, and should have a displacement of about 10,000 tons. At that time, the largest warships of our European countries were only about 2,500 to 2,800 tons, and their shipbuilding capacity was far from comparable to that of the Ming people. ”

Alfred had heard Hender Harry say this a long time ago, and later found someone to confirm this, I have to say that the Ming people's navy was very strong back then, so strong that there were almost no opponents. It's a pity that they didn't pay attention to all-round development, and the imperial court was unbearable, so they were later destroyed by the Qing Dynasty.

However, the current Qing Dynasty has been unbearable for a long time, and the combat effectiveness of the army is extremely low, and even the Kou country, which has very poor combat effectiveness, cannot be defeated. The army is not good, and even the navy is the same, and the First Sino-Japanese War was defeated by the dilapidated ships of the Kou State.

This group of Ming people is no longer holding back, but is out of the demonstration with great fanfare, probably to declare sovereignty over the islands of Papua. They are really the descendants of the Ming people, then they have lived on the island of Papua for hundreds of years.

It can also be said that the islands of Papua are their territory. The German Empire, the British Empire, and the Kingdom of the Netherlands were all acts of invasion.

Since this Ming man came out with a warship, he may want to recover the territory, and then use the Papuan island as a base to counterattack the Qing Dynasty and revive the Ming Dynasty.

"Old friend, if Germany and Germany go to war with this group of Ming descendants, will our navy be able to beat them?" Alfred asked, looking at Henderharry.

Hahaha! "Old friend, you are really joking, all the warships of our German Empire combined are difficult to defeat this fleet. I guess they definitely have more than one fleet, otherwise they wouldn't dare to openly demonstrate.

The British Empire will definitely not allow this group of Ming people to openly challenge their position as the world hegemon, and the British Empire, which dominates the world, will definitely clean them up. Since they dared to openly drive out the battleships, it can only show one thing, their naval strength is no longer inferior to the British Empire. ”

After hearing Henderharry's analysis, Alfred was a little surprised, but he still agreed with him. The islands of Papua were not only a country in the German Empire, but also a British Empire that dominated the world.

As for the Kingdom of the Netherlands, this Ming can crush the past with impunity. Since this group of Ming people dared to openly drive the warship out to demonstrate, it could only show one problem, they had the confidence to challenge the navy of the British Empire.
