As for the Chinese government's "most solemn protest", the Netherlands feels that this is expected. In the hundreds of years that European colonizers arrived in Southeast Asia, the Netherlands also suffered a loss in Taiwan. The Spaniards, who have now been killed by the United States, massacre the Chinese in Luzon hundreds of years ago, what about the Ming Dynasty government at that time? When the Dutch took out the Republic of Lanfang, what could the Manchu government do? The fact that the People's Party was able to lodge the "most solemn protest" also shows that the Chinese government's response is relatively sensitive.

The Netherlands, of course, did not see the staged construction of ships that began to be attempted in China's completely closed shipyards, let alone the laser beams used for positioning in sectional manufacturing. Of course, even if the Dutch saw it, they couldn't understand the meaning of this strange thing. This is different from hundreds of years ago, China's technology has completely surpassed the Netherlands, even to the point where the Netherlands cannot understand it.

For the Dutch, the Bank of China refused to hand over the documents because the Chinese government was protesting. Naturally, the Dutch resorted to coercive means, and they immediately seized the Chinese bank in the Dutch East Indies in the name of violating Dutch law. After the Netherlands took such a tough approach, Britain also announced the termination of the deposit business of the Bank of China in British Malay in accordance with the agreement. For a time, the Netherlands and Britain in Southeast Asia began to attack China's wealth.

What does it mean to do so against China's state-owned banks, at least in the presence of a large number of military professionals in the state-owned banks, which is no different from a declaration of war. This move undoubtedly reminded these former soldiers of the imperialist invasion of China. The news that came next was even more exciting, and the Dutch East India authorities imprisoned Wang Qinian on the grounds of "tax evasion". Because Wang Qinian was suspected of "huge tax evasion", the local court rejected Wang Qinian's request for bail.

At such a moment, the Japanese fleet, which had been shrinking for a long time, left Kure Harbor with its main force, and the huge fleet swaggered along the coast of Korea and China in a large circle, and then sailed into the port of Taiwan. Of course, the People's Air Force and Navy would not let Japan demonstrate so comfortably, and the Air Force's reconnaissance planes, fighters, bombers, and torpedo attack planes all followed along the way. The Yellow Sea Fleet urgently lit a fire and anchored and rushed over as much as possible. It's just that the size of these ships and planes does look a lot shabby compared to the size of Japan's Grand Fleet.

The British, on the other hand, remained silent, and the great powers sometimes spoke more indicatively than they spoke. Just like the United States after 911, China expressed its sincere condolences. However, it doesn't matter what you say, imagine the US bombing of the Chinese embassy and the plane collision incident in the South China Sea that happened a few years ago in 911, and I am afraid that the Chinese leaders may not really be so sad about the "misfortune" of the United States, and maybe they will feel quite happy. Whatever a big country says can be said in the wrong way. But if China keeps silent after 911, it will be a more serious attitude.

In the face of the intensification of the dispute between the Netherlands and China, and the demonstrations in Japan that added fuel to the fire, Britain really did not say a word about it. Of course, the Soviet Union wanted to shout a few words for China. On the contrary, the United States only made a few light remarks about this, and everyone can understand that since the United States did not participate in such a fat-sharing operation, the United States itself is also in a lot of trouble, and it is unrealistic to expect the United States to come out at this time.

This reaction was also expected by the British, Dutch, and Japanese, who chose the moment to act at a time when China was isolated.

In March 1933, in the prison of the Dutch, the Dutch prosecutor condescendingly glared at Wang Qinian, who was chatting with his hands and feet. The Dutch dared to arrest Wang Qinian, but that was the end of it, they didn't dare to do anything more excessive, such as finding a reason to kill Wang Qinian. If Wang Qinian is really critically ill in prison, I am afraid that it should be the Dutch who are most afraid.

The prosecutor couldn't scare Wang Qinian with his gaze, so he could only say in a threatening tone: "Wang Qinian, are you guilty?" ”

"I'm not guilty. My alleged accusations are all false accusations on your part. Wang Qinian replied calmly.

An angry look appeared on the prosecutor's face, how many days have passed, Wang Qinian has always answered like this, and he didn't say anything else at all. No matter how coercive and inducing the prosecutor is, and what is used to sign the plea agreement, he can be punished lightly. But Wang Qinian was indifferent at all, as if he was addicted to living in prison.

If it were anyone else, there were plenty of means to deal with it in the Dutch prison, and it couldn't be too easy to make people live without dying in prison. But there is an explanation from above, and Wang Qinian must not be abused, and the People's Party must not be truthful. Even if it is an unjust case, it is necessary to take into account the international perspective. Moreover, there are also Dutch businessmen in China, and if Wang Qinian is abused here, the People's Party will take retaliatory action, and it will become a dog-eat-dog mouthful, and neither side will benefit.

After another round of meaningless interrogation, the farce ended temporarily. However, the prosecutor is not worried that Wang Qinian can be used as a stone in the pit, but many overseas Chinese do not have such hard bones. The fortunes they had accumulated all their lives were in the Dutch East Indies, and they did not have the conditions to resist to the end. If you break through these people, you can use criminal reasoning to trap Wang Qinian, and then all you have to do is to expel Wang Qinian. That's what the law is all about.

You can't abuse Wang Qinian, but it doesn't mean that you can't abuse other overseas Chinese. Some overseas Chinese have already been tortured and coerced to confess their crimes. And these behaviors are not all wrongs, tax evasion, the whole world is the same. It's easy for the IRD to find faults. The only problem is that there is no solid evidence to effectively link the confessions of these people with Wang Qinian, which is what is more difficult for the Dutch side now.

The Netherlands did not feel at all in danger of doing so. Even if there is no ghost crying wolf, European countries and the United States have no reason to stand up for China, let alone uphold justice for China. The only one who could say a few words on behalf of China was the Soviet Union, which was seen as a great threat in Europe. Even if some countries wanted to say a few words of fairness that seemed reasonable, as long as the Soviet Union stood on China's side first, these countries would have to shut up first. This is the reality that China is facing.

Not only are the British calculating the Dutch, but the Dutch are also calculating the British. As long as China's naval power is not able to overwhelm Britain and Japan, China's use of force against the Netherlands will be suppressed by Britain and Japan. The Dutch East Indies were thousands of kilometers away from China, and Britain and Japan were the first to suffer military blows, and the Netherlands had no fear of any danger to themselves.

On April 17, 1933, a fleet appeared in the Dutch East Indies waters, and the red flag of the Chinese People's Navy was hoisted high on the mast of each ship of this fleet. The supreme commander of the fleet in the command room is Sa Zhenbing. The 70-year-old man insisted on participating in the operation, China's farthest voyage to date, before it was fully decommissioned. With the attitude of making a big fuss, the Military Commission dispatched a task force combining the two main forces of the South Ocean Fleet and the Yellow Sea Fleet to demonstrate in the Dutch East Indies.

"The radar has detected the enemy's warship, which is about 80 kilometers away due west."

"Reconnaissance Group 3 sent back a telegram that the Dutch fleet had been discovered. The number is one destroyer, one frigate. ”

"Radar scans did not detect enemy submarines."

The task force consisted of one aircraft carrier, two battleships as the core. Destroyers and frigates are equipped with new radars, and the Aegis of the 21st century, of course, there is no comparison with the phased array. Each warship with insufficient tonnage installed on the radar is a single function. Either to the sea, or to the air, or to search underwater. Even then, the search capabilities of the task force reached an unprecedented level.

Compared to the experience of artillery warfare, the People's Navy did not consider itself to be outstanding, and it is said that some Japanese naval observers were able to see the stars in broad daylight. There is no doubt about the loyalty and courage of the Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army, and it is China's science and technology that is arming this loyal army. The minimum education for the commanders and fighters of the navy fleet is also to graduate from junior high school, and the proportion of college students who have graduated from the National Defense University also accounts for more than 15 percent.

Sa Zhenbing looked at the bright green dot on the meter display that represented the enemy, and his heart was full of mixed feelings. He was too old to actually participate in the battle, and the technological development of this era was beyond Sa Zhenbing's imagination. War is already unfolding beyond the sight of mankind, and this is already the age of youth.

"Keep going!" Sa Zhenbing calmly gave the order, this was the last time he commanded a fleet of this size.

"Left full rudder." The captain said.

"Left full rudder!" The commander shouted into the intercom.

"Left rudder full!" Soon the helmsman's reply came back from the intercom. The fleet made a nice large arc and turned its bow in the direction of the enemy.

Thirty minutes later, the correspondent shouted again: "The submarine sonar has locked onto the enemy!" ”

The submarines of the Navy are equipped with sonar, which is one of the killer features of the People's Navy. After another moment, the communications corpsman shouted again: "The sonar has found traces of enemy submarines." ”

All the commanders had excited expressions on their faces, and although they had already experimented with these new equipment dozens or hundreds of times during the exercise, it was the first time that they had been used against the enemy. Many commanders couldn't help but open their palms and clenched them, and as soon as the fleet commander gave an order, the battle could begin immediately.

At this time, the enemy has not even had time to react, and it is likely that they have not yet noticed that such a large fleet is close to the range of attack. By this time, the People's Navy had corrected its course and was heading towards the Dutch Navy. It was not until the two sides approached a distance of 40 kilometers that the warships of the Dutch Navy began to turn around in a panic as if frightened. Meet the fleet of the People's Navy. In the radio surveillance system, the Dutch radio waves also appeared. Presumably, an emergency telegram was being sent to the naval command of the Dutch East Indies.

"We can prepare for the strike at least half an hour in advance." In the command room, Sa Zhenbing said slowly.

Unless it is a level of readiness for war, warships are ready to fight at any time. Well-trained navies, such as the British and Japanese navies, could fire artillery shells within minutes of encountering an enemy. Otherwise, it would have taken more than ten minutes from encountering the enemy to firing a salvo from the main gun. In more than 10 minutes, the torpedo planes and bombers of the aircraft carrier formation had already taken off to carry out a round of attacks. The enemy was unlucky, and when the battleship approached, it only had to shoot at the enemy ships that exploded and caught fire.

"The school radar is activated! Start locking on to your target. "At the time of only 30 kilometers from the Dutch Navy, the People's Navy was ready to shoot.

"Laser-assisted measurements begin." The commander in charge of the artillery system held back his excitement and gave the order.

Moments later, observers saw several red points of light the size of bowls appear on the side of the Dutch warship's hull. The photoelectric light flashes on and off. The calculator of the firing system quickly determined the angle of fire based on the angle of the laser fire, as well as the position of the laser emitter with the muzzle.

The laser emitter was quickly fine-tuned, and when the light points of the two lasers appeared in almost the same position at the same time, the absolute distance between the People's Navy ship and the enemy was determined. With a definite number, as long as the cannon is fired, the hit rate is greatly improved.

"Experiment complete!" The commander of the artillery system shouted loudly. The laser emitter then stopped working and went into standby.

This is the naval battle of the future! Sa Zhenbing's heart was surging. Even if it was carried out many times in the actual drill and verified in the quasi-actual combat, it still made the veteran feel a great shock. The Dutch navy on the opposite side did not know what was happening at all, and with the unique bravery of the navy, in the face of the sudden appearance of the Chinese fleet, the Dutch navy still stubbornly leaned over to accompany it.

Sa Zhen Bing said, "Sail according to the plan." After speaking, he leaned back in the command chair and closed his eyes. This kind of drill consumed a huge amount of energy from Sa Zhenbing, and he really needed to rest. In Sa Zhenbing's mind, what appeared was Chen Ke's relieved expression after personally participating in the exercise. For the founder of the Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army, this was a rarity. As far as Sa Zhenbing is concerned, all kinds of accurate and effective combat capabilities that have been imagined by generations of navy soldiers have become reality. All that is needed now is brave, bold, and astute actual combat. These are precisely the things that the Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army lacked the most.

The sudden appearance of the People's Navy on the Dutch coast brought a huge shock to the Dutch. The Chinese did not dare to attack the Dutch East Indies, even after seeing the Grand Fleet of the People's Navy, the Dutch still thought so. However, the Chinese navy is capable of reaching the coast of Dutch-controlled areas, and the impact is still huge. The last time this happened was 272 years ago, when the island of Taiwan, which was still nominally part of China's territory.
