Chapter 0204, Sail Battleship Explosion (Plus 2/5)
Although the Pirate League burned many ships of the Dutch East India Company, more than 100 Dutch naval warships escaped unharmed.
Both sides fought here, and they finally calmed down.
They all knew that if they continued to fight, the Netherlands would lose the Far East, and so would the British.
The reason is very simple, in addition to its own few remaining warships and the company's hundreds of armed merchant ships, the British East India Company only has the armed merchant ships of the pirate alliance and the colonies, and even the armament to deter these allies is much, and if it continues to fight, it is very likely that it will be bitten by pirates and folded in the Far East.
Although the Dutch East India Company still had more than 100 warships left, none of the remaining armed merchant ships belonged to its own company, and no less than 100 of them slipped away overnight.
Moreover, the two countries have finally realized a problem, and they have been fighting for a long time and ignoring a person.
In this way, a naval battle in the South Seas that shocked the world ended silently in a situation where both sides were defeated.
In total, more than 4,000 warships were dispatched by both sides, and in the end, there were less than 1,500 of them left, and only about 100 of the Dutch were left of the real warships.
In this way, the cranes and mussels competed, and the fishermen benefited.
Fan Jinyan turned into the most powerful force in the entire Nanyang warship.
And the Nanyang countries finally realized that the Ming Dynasty, Jinghaihou, may be the next Nanyang hegemon.
As a result, Nanzhou (Yazhou), the once worthless capital of Qiongzhou, replaced Jakarta City, the former economic center of Nanyang, overnight and became the new Nanyang center. Although this economic center, like Jakarta, is a bit biased, it does not affect its position in the whole of the South Seas
How could the Dutch allow a little guy who suddenly appeared to snatch his hegemony like this, as soon as the sail warship bought in Qiongzhou arrived in Jakarta, the governor immediately sent a large number of shipbuilding experts on board to study. The arrogant Dutch believed that they would be able to figure out and imitate better ships in a very short time, and they would use these imitations to teach the boy a good lesson.
The structure of the sail battleship is not complicated, and it is easy for people in the industry to understand it, but Fan Jinyan deliberately wrapped dozens of high-tech key parts with glued iron, and filled them with explosives, and there were also hidden fuses between them, as long as one detonated, the other places would also be quickly detonated, all the way to a false box in the explosives storehouse.
Its practical use is that there are explosives in the explosives storehouse, and even the hidden explosives alone can completely disintegrate the battleship, so that the people on board do not even have a chance to escape.
Fan Jinyan's purpose in doing this was not mainly to protect the core technology of the so-called warship, but to blow up all the technicians and engineers of the Dutch East India Company and the British East India Company.
At least they no longer have this kind of technical talent in Nanyang.
As expected, from the moment they received the ship, the Dutch couldn't wait to upload and crack the structure of the giant ship with the technical talents they possessed.
Finally, after solving all the simple problems, the dozens of dark and cold iron boxes became the focus of their research.
Aside from a fist-sized lid that reveals an intricate mechanical roulette wheel inside, there is no other place for the entire iron box to open.
The Dutch engineers only thought that Fan Jinyan was a ghost in order to hide important technology, and they all laughed at Fan Jinyan as an idiot, thinking that they could be stumped with these little tricks?
While laughing, the Dutch also thought of a way to turn it on.
But they never expected that at the moment of opening, a smell of gunpowder suddenly wafted out of the box, followed by a loud bang, followed by a short time, the entire battleship made more than a dozen violent explosions in a row, and the battleship was also blown to pieces, and none of the engineers, technicians, boatmen, soldiers, etc. on the ship survived, and the people on the dock even thought that the battleship had suffered some attack.
In fact, Fan Jinyan just deliberately installed some useless mechanical devices in those iron boxes, and teased those confident ship experts to try their best to touch the mechanism, and then go to the west to report.
Obviously, Fan Jinyan succeeded.
Not long after the Dutch East India Company engineer was killed, the Dutch received news that the British East India Company engineer had also been killed.
Even the most stupid person understands that it was Fan Jinyan's ghost.
However, at this time, the Governor of the Dutch East India Company was horrified and remorseful.
Because, two of the three sail warships that Fan Jinyan bought directly entered the Manchurian Strait when they passed through Manchuka, and entered the Indian Ocean together with the other three sail warships bought by the British.
The speed of the sail warship was at least twice that of the Galen ship, and even if it started at the same time, it would not be able to catch up, not to mention that three days had passed.
Thinking of this, the fat Dutch governor clenched his fists, his hands trembled incessantly, anger, regret, fear, all kinds of expressions piled up on that white fat face. He knew that he had caused a catastrophe, and if the sail warship killed the Dutch engineers and technicians, he would be the sinner of the whole Netherlands, and not only would he die, but none of his family would survive.
Enraged, the Dutch governor contacted the equally enraged British governor, hoping that the two would work together to attack the damn bastard who had set them up.
However, the Dutch governor was greatly disappointed, and the British governor rejected the proposal and sent an envoy to Fan Jinyan.
This time, the head of the envoy was still that Jill, but when he came to see Fan Jinyan, his face became extremely ugly.
Fan Jinyan asked knowingly, pretending to be very surprised, and asked, "Oh Jill, my friend, what's wrong with you?" Are you blaming me for not being there to greet me? ”
"No, Your Excellency." Jill was annoyed, "You shouldn't have done anything on the ship, did you know that the Dutch are preparing to attack you?" ”
"What are you talking about?" Fan Jinyan pretended to be very innocent and said, "What did I do on the boat?" Please don't wronged me, okay? ”
"Fan, are you stupid when we are? We, like the Dutch, bought back all the battleships that exploded, how many people died, do you know? You are responsible for this. Jill snarled with a wave of her arms.
"Damn." After Fan Jinyan scolded, he turned around and yelled at Wang Dashan: "What are you doing? Didn't you explain it to the buyer? ”
Wang Dashan knew that he was carrying the blame, and he pretended to be frightened, but he only promised: "Let's check it."
After saying that, he slipped out of the main hall as if he had fled. (To be continued.) )
