Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Governor's Trick

Governor Davis's desk was in the Governor-General's House in Singapore, but Sir Davis was looking at a telegram from the Empire about the current crisis facing the British Empire and how to deal with it. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Davis smoked his cigar and took out a few telegrams from the drawer that he had received some time ago, which were sent by Colonel Donakin, a Papuan colonial officer.

After reading these telegrams, Governor Davis really couldn't figure it out, how could such a huge warship suddenly appear in this world? Even the mighty British Empire is still under development, how can other countries have such huge and advanced warships?

This Huaxia country is the descendant of the Ming Dynasty, the Chinese power that has been hiding in the Papuan island for hundreds of years. Now they have not only launched two advanced fleets, but also begun to declare the territory of the islands of Papua, and have even waved their troops to attack the colonies of the Kingdom of the Netherlands.

This strength of the descendants of the Ming people has been hiding in Papua for hundreds of years and has not been discovered by others, not only evading the Dutch and British Empire, but also evading the search of many prospecting teams, which is simply incredible.

This is a world that is so crazy that not only did a powerful descendant of the Ming people emerge all at once, but also caused the mighty British Empire to lose three fleets and tens of thousands of heroic imperial soldiers.

First, the Imperial Far East Fleet was all sunk in the harbor, and then the Indian fleet deployed by the British Empire in Burma, dozens of warships and hundreds of merchant ships were sunk in the harbor. In the end, the Australian fleet that came to support, along with 80,000 army forces, dozens of warships, and nearly 100 troop transports, died at the bottom of the sea.

The empire lost three major fleets, and more than 100,000 heroic imperial soldiers, who had nothing to do with Sun Hao, the leader of the Ming descendants, did not believe it when he killed Davis.

Now Sun Hao has also used two major fleets and hundreds of thousands of army units to attack the Dutch colony, and it seems that there is a momentum of unifying the South Seas. But why didn't they attack the Philippines? The Spaniards also killed so many Chinese back then, so it stands to reason that they should take revenge?

Although the Philippines is occupied by the United States, the United States Navy can still handle the Great White Fleet, and the rest of the army, whether it is the army or the navy, is not worth mentioning at all. Governor Davis smoked his cigar and thought about the chain of events.

At this time, the commander-in-chief of the Southeast Asian Army, Jurness, knocked on the door and entered, and he saw that Governor Davis was thinking about the problem, so he asked: "Your Excellency, the Chinese army has reached the sea area of Arafo, and will soon encounter the East India fleet of the Kingdom of Holland. ”

As a great soldier of the British Empire, Jurnesch can definitely see that the newly rising Chinese army is trying to Nanyang, if they completely occupy the Dutch colony, it will be extremely unfavorable to the development of the British Empire in East Asia.

Davis saw Jurneysch coming in, and immediately motioned for him to sit down, and then handed him the telegram from the Empire.

When Juurnisch saw it, he was immediately stunned in astonishment, God! Is it April Fool's Day? Was it that stupid British intelligence officer who sent such an unrealistic piece of information? Jurnisch thought to himself.

"Your Excellency, what do you think of this telegram?" Davis asked.

"Your Excellency the Governor, it's not that I don't believe in the authenticity of this telegram, but it's simply incredible, our great British Empire is going to make a compromise with Sun Hao, a yellow-skinned monkey, and let us show favor to Huaxia, which is really unacceptable." Jurnisch said with a little anger.

Davis nodded at Jurnisch, who made sense of his analysis, but Davis also knew the crisis the empire was facing. Sun Hao not only has two powerful fleets in his hands, but also has a submarine force with very powerful attack power.

This mysterious submarine force is like a sharp sword hanging over the head of the Empire, which may fall at any moment and once again cut off the Empire's proud fleet.

"Your Excellency, although the industry of our British Empire is very strong, the navy is invincible, and the shipbuilding technology is also top-notch, but the three major fleets in Southeast Asia were sunk and lost more than 100,000 soldiers. And the murderer is most likely Sun Hao, he belongs to the newly rising Ming descendants of the Papua Islands, the Huaxia Army, as an excellent general of the empire, don't you want to say something? ”

After hearing Governor Davis's words, Junnisch scratched his scalp with his right hand, yes, he also knew the fact that the three major fleets of the empire were sunk, and this newly rising Huaxia army not only had two powerful fleets, but also had a mysterious submarine force, which was an undeniable fact.

Jurnisch stood up, took out a cigar and lit it, and then tried to think about whether the Chinese army would attack the Dutch colony this time, and whether it would attack the Empire's Nanyang colony.

"Your Excellency the Governor, although Sun Hao may have a mysterious submarine force, he also has two powerful fleets and hundreds of thousands of army troops. But it is completely clear from his submarine attack on our fleet that Sun Hao does not want to make enemies with the British Empire, at least for now.

The Kingdom of the Netherlands has many colonized islands, inhabited by numerous indigenous people, and the environment is very harsh. Sun Hao's hundreds of thousands of troops are busy enough to clean up those natives. Hundreds of thousands of troops sound like a huge number, but if you sprinkle them on the islands in the South Sea, it will be far from enough. Therefore, Sun Hao didn't want to directly turn against the empire and start a war.

After Davis heard this, he nodded slightly, and Jurnisch thought of going with himself, the Huaxia army attacked the Dutch colony, not only to face the 100,000 army troops of the Dutch Kingdom, but also to face countless disgusting local natives.

With his hundreds of thousands of troops, he simply did not have the ability to attack the colonies of the empire. Otherwise, Sun Hao would have attacked Australia with weak troops a long time ago. Sun Hao chose to sink the empire's warship with a submarine instead of directly using the battleship to duel, which is enough to show that Sun Hao does not want to directly engage with the empire, at least for now.

"Your Excellency General, if the Chinese army occupies the colonies of the Kingdom of the Netherlands in the South Seas, it will be a great threat to our colonies in the Southeast Asia of the British Empire, especially the choke point of Malacca, and also threaten the interests of our Australia, at present, our British Empire Navy may not make any moves, and other colonies can no longer draw so many troops to garrison the Malay Peninsula, and it is impossible to transfer the navy to maintain the status of the South Seas, do you have any good way?"

Juurnisch thought for a moment and said: "Your Excellency the Governor, I suggest that you ignore the affairs of the Dutch for now, they are killing and dying, just consuming their national strength, this Chinese army is too mysterious, it has such a powerful warship in a short period of time, the British Empire has sunk three major fleets, we can't take any more risks."

With our warships against their mysterious submarines, even if our British Empire's navy is brave, there is not the slightest hope of victory. In the absence of a way to restrain submarines, it is better to stand still. ”

"Your Excellency General is right, can you find a way to get the submarine design drawings of the Huaxia Army or buy their submarines for research?"

Jurnisch was also very eager to get the submarine in Sun Hao's hand, but this hope was almost equal to zero.

"Your Excellency the Governor, I think you are a bit whimsical, they will definitely not sell such advanced submarines, and the hope of stealing their drawings is certainly quite slim, but I suggest that after Marshal Donald arrives, His Excellency the Governor can follow the marshal with some gifts to see the commander-in-chief named Sun Hao.

It would be better to gain his friendship, and as for the battleship, those things will be mentioned later. Oh! Your Excellency the Governor, the intelligence shows that Sun Hao's second fleet is all women, and I personally estimate that he must be a fellow. Ruth sent...."

"Your Excellency, General, although we are not suitable for a conflict with the Huaxia Army at the moment, the Empire cannot let them go too smoothly. The natives of the islands have been ruled by the Dutch for so long, although they are native, they must also be a people with great ideals, and we can support the Chinese army before they fully grasp the islands, and tens of thousands of rifles......"
