Chapter 664: Shooting without Bunting

The city of Surabaya (the second largest city in Indonesia) is also known as "Surabaya", the capital of East Java Province. It is separated from Madura Island by the Surabaya Strait. With a population of about 1.5 million, it was an important port for Java's foreign trade in the Middle Ages.

There are more than 1.5 million people in Surabaya, and the Chinese population is about 100,000, accounting for about 10 percent of Surabaya's total population, and it is these 10 percent that own nearly 60 percent of Surabaya's wealth. Since May 1940, the Dutch mainland was occupied by the Germans, the Dutch royal family and the government were forced to move to the United Kingdom to establish the government of exile, and the Dutch colonies in the world at this time have few left, India is the last overseas colony of the Netherlands, in order to keep this last cash cow, the Dutch sent the only six destroyers and a light cruiser and a regiment of naval 6 wars to India, and ordered the Dutch governor in India Takma to be more careful about the abnormality of the people of India, If necessary, it can be suppressed by force.

On the streets of Surabaya, most of the well-fed Indani are lazily lying at home or sitting on both sides of the street and looking at passers-by boredly, Indani is located in the tropics of the earth, the land is fertile, and the people there can meet the needs of a year by doing a few months of work a year. Therefore, they have also developed their lazy character, when they see the Chinese people becoming more and more rich, the first thing they think about is not why the Chinese are getting rich, but their inner eyes and hatred of other people's wealth, but they never think that when others are working hard, they sleep at home.

In a quiet courtyard full of Jiangnan flavor, an old man with a silver head is sitting quietly under a grape trellis, and a pot of green tea is placed on the stone table next to him.

Hurried footsteps sounded in the distance, and a middle-aged man wearing a robe who looked like a butler walked over quickly: "Master, those Dutch tax collectors have come to collect taxes again!" And this time they charged twice as much tax rate as last time, and those shopkeepers have already made trouble with them. ”

"What, the Dutch are collecting taxes again? Didn't we just hand it over last month? The old man stood up and asked with a frown.

"Yes, that's what we said, but the Dutch said that the tax rate has been changed, this time once a month, and the tax rate is twice as high as before, you can get an idea, if we can't do it." The butler's face was full of anxiety.

"Hmph, the Dutch are also bullying, is it really me Zhang Ziheng is muddy?" The old man clenched his fists with an angry look on his face.

"Master, should we contact the other firms to protest together?" The butler asked tentatively.

Zhang Ziheng seemed to think of something, and his angry expression slowly turned into sadness, only to see him gently sit back in the chair, "Forget it, the Dutch are waiting for us to make trouble at the moment, don't forget that the events of nineteen years ago are still vivid." Give them the money, and you should buy peace! ”

"Alas, sir!" The butler also sighed lightly and hurried down

The golden-red sunlight shone through the snow-white linen curtains on the woollen carpet of the same color, and the Governor of Takma in a gown took a sip of a gold-rimmed white porcelain teacup, which exuded a rich aroma of black tea, a drink with an orange and yellow soup and a delicate taste in the Darjeeling Plateau in northern India, which has become a favorite of the Western upper class since tea was introduced to India half a century ago.

Since the fall of the Netherlands last May, when Takma was appointed as the new governor of the Indonian colony, Takma has fallen in love with the drink with a grape-scented aroma. Every afternoon, sitting on a wicker chair under a palm tree, feeling the cool breeze blowing from Malacca, eating some Nyonya pastries made with coconut pastry, sweet sweet potatoes, pandan leaves and sticky rice (the descendants of Malay and Chinese intermarriage are called nonya, transliterated as nyonya), and drinking a cup of fragrant black tea can help him forget the bad news of the country for a while and relax his mind.

Putting down the teacup, Takma turned his head and asked the adjutant who had been serving him, "Usko, is there anything unusual about those Indonian natives and those Chinese people during this time?" ”

"Your Excellency the Governor, everything is normal here, with our heroic Navy 6 Squadron and Fleet here, how dare those lowly yellow-skinned monkeys move around?" The adjutant's flattery made Takma feel very comfortable, but the thought that his homeland had fallen made Takma feel a little low.

"Well, if it weren't for those damn Germans, our homeland wouldn't have fallen."

Usko comforted: "Your Excellency, you need not worry, the Germans will eventually be defeated by our British allies, just as in the world war twenty-seven years ago, I am convinced that good will triumph over evil!" ”

"I hope so!" Takma sighed and instructed: "Usko, you have to instruct the people below that this year's taxes must be collected according to the newly established tax rate, especially the taxes of those Huaxia people cannot be less." We need a lot of money for the restoration of the government and the royal family in England and the training of new troops, and it is far from enough to rely on the little money that the government brings to the United Kingdom, so we must also raise as much money as possible to help His Majesty the King share his worries. ”

"This," Usko asked after a moment's hesitation, "Your Excellency the Governor, is our new tax rate too high, and what if those Chinese are unwilling or even make trouble?" ”

"They dare!" A hint of hideousness appeared on Takma's originally polite face, "If they dare to make trouble, the cannons on our Navy 6 and warships are not vegetarians. If they've forgotten the lesson of 19 years ago, I don't mind helping them deepen their memories. ”

"Yes, Mr. Governor, I'll do it at once." Usko, who had been given clear instructions, immediately disappeared from the doorway.

The vast and boundless blue ocean, waves continued to surge, crashing on the hull, with a roar of the sky and the earth, splashing snow-white foam, and the tide was like a charging team, clamoring, shouting, desperately impacting this fleet from afar. The waves are several feet high, and they come in one after another. The frenzied waves were filled with a shuddering roar. The thunderous waters swept up like thousands of horses, rushing towards the fleet with shouts and neighings.

The 8,000-ton troop carrier was like a small sampan being pushed around by huge waves, and there was a sound of vomiting in the cabin, and a disgusting sour smell came from the cabin of all the troop carriers.

Although it is not the first time that the Navy 6 fighters have gone to sea, everyone vomited under the impact of such a violent wave, and it is just a joke to say that the excellent Navy 6 fighters do not get seasick. Every Navy 6-Fighter who does not seasick starts with seasickness, and seasickness is the first lesson of the Navy 6-Fighter! Only after fainting to death will you not faint again! The so-called no more dizziness is not really not seasickness, but even if you vomit, it still does not hinder the battle!

In order to keep the 6 members of the Navy in physical strength and condition, the sailors and officers on the warship entered each cabin to drink, and ordered all the soldiers to drink salt water to replenish their strength and salt, because the sailors and officers knew that after seasickness, they first vomited water and food, and then began to vomit gastric juice and bile, and then vomited blood until the body spasmed and led to coma, and if the water was not replenished in time, there was even the possibility of sudden death.

The foul air filled all the cabins, and the 6th Navy, who had been alive and well, were lying on their beds one by one with sallow faces and weak breath, and the officers had to pour water glasses into their hands and send them to drink, so as to resist their seasickness and vomiting.

The fleet sailed with great difficulty all night in the storm, and when the sun miraculously appeared in the eyes of the people at dawn, the wind and waves that had raged all night miraculously stopped, and a few seagulls flew from the sea in the distance, and gently stopped on the destroyer's pole.

Experienced sailors know that as long as they see seagulls, then it means that they are not far from 6 places.

In the war room of the "Han Xin" aircraft carrier, Zheng Xin, who had not slept all night, calmly gave various orders.

"Order the reconnaissance planes to immediately take to the air and go out to reconnoiter the situation, the deck crews to immediately clear the deck, the carrier-based aircraft group to prepare for large-scale lift-off operations, and the ships to remove their gun coats and check the situation of each gun and ammunition."

"Yes!"

As soon as the order was issued, the two "dreadnought" dive bombers immediately flew into the air and flew eastward, which was already very close to Surabaya, and their task was to report the situation in the port of Surabaya to the fleet commander behind them, while making a good basis for the commander's decision.

When the Chinese fleet passed through the huge waves and approached Surabaya, the sailors on the Dutch warships in the port of Surabaya were still sleeping soundly, and with the shelter of the port, the wind and waves could not threaten them at all, and they slept very peacefully and sweetly. It wasn't until the sun rose that a handful of sailors appeared lazily on the deck.

At this moment, a Dutch sailor was sneakily landing on the deck of a destroyer from outside, and was seen by his companion who happened to come out and teased: "Uriah, you slacker went to fool around with that girl again last night." ”

"Shh If the first mate hears me, I'll be out of luck. Uriah looked around and couldn't help but get a little nervous.

Pol smiled, "Hehe, don't worry, the first mate went out to have fun like you last night, and he hasn't come back yet." ”

"Thank God, that's good!" Uriah let out a long sigh and patted his chest, glad he had escaped again.

"Uriah, I don't understand, what's so good about those Inyuni female monkeys, why do you keep spending all your salary on them." Pol asked, puzzled.

"Hehe, you don't understand this." Uriah, who had escaped, was in a good mood and patted his companion on the shoulder, "When I have time to take you to see it one day, you will understand, although those Indoni men are not very good, but those women are still good, and the most important thing is that for a dollar you can take two women out for the night, it's really a good deal, I'll take you to see and see when I have time." ”

"Forget it!" Pol shook his head, "If those Chinese women were about the same, at least they would look better than those Indonian women." ”

"Those Chinese women," Uriah shook her head with a sigh, "they are not like those Indani women, it is said that the Chinese people attach more importance to chastity and other things, and it is very difficult to get into the Chinese women." But," Uriah smiled mysteriously and said, "I heard that our Governor has recently made a move on those Huaxia people to raise their tax rates. Tsk 50 percent commercial tax, the Governor is really up to it. ”

"Whatever, if we don't raise the tax rate, what will we eat, our homeland has already fallen, and if the government and the royal family and our people don't take the money from these Chinese, we will really drink the northwest wind." Pol didn't care about it.

"That's right." Uria nodded, "Anyway, if you accept it, you will accept it, can those Huaxia people still dare to resist?" You must know that those 6 fighters are idle and have nothing to do, as long as they dare to make trouble, they will kill a group of yellow-skinned monkeys, and they will be honest. ”

"Hehe, maybe we can make a fortune from it." Pol and Uriah came to get a few glances at each other and laughed.

Just as the two looked at each other and smiled, a low roar came from the clouds, the sound was getting closer and closer, and two dark shadows soon appeared in front of their eyes.

Pol pointed to the sky with some surprise and asked, "Uriah, what do you see that is?" Could it be that the sun has risen in the west today? Are our lazy pilots finally willing to get up from the bellies of those women and start patrolling so early? ”

"Who knows, maybe one guy was kicked out of bed by a woman last night and used his plane to get angry early in the morning." Uriah shrugged, looked like it wasn't my business, and looked up at the sky, looking like he was watching a good show. At this time, the plane in the sky flew lower and lower, and soon appeared in front of the two of them.

"Uriah, this is not our plane." Suddenly, Pol, who had seen the appearance of the plane clearly, shouted and pointed to the sky, "Our plane does not have this style, it must be another country's plane?" ”

The planes slowly lowered their altitude, and soon they were so high that even people walking on the ground could see clearly, "God, that's that."

Uria pointed to the two planes that were constantly hovering in the low sky, his body trembling and unable to speak, the wings of the two planes hovering above his head were awe-inspiring with bright blue and white flags, and soon, a loud siren sounded in the harbor.

"What? The plane of the Chinese appeared in the sky above the port! The governor of Takma was stunned when he received the news, and he immediately gave an order, and all the fleets in the port pulled anchor and set sail, and more than a dozen warplanes stationed in Surabaya immediately took off to reconnoitre.

But it was too late, and the governor of Takma, who had just given the order, soon received a report from the port that the fleet of the Chinese had appeared outside the port of Surabaya, and the guns of twelve destroyers and one cruiser were already pointed at several destroyers in the harbor.

When the commander of the fleet asked the Governor Takma if he would immediately open fire on the Huaxia fleet, Takma was silent, "Takma is not a fool, and he also knows that if he fires, the entire city of Surabaya will probably be destroyed by artillery fire." ”

"Immediately call the Huaxia Navy outside, what do they want to do? Are they doing this to oppose the entire world of Western civilization? It took a long time for Takma to shout this.

Zheng Xin, who was watching from the bridge, smiled and asked Major General Ren Ran, the commander of the 2nd Division of the 6th Combat Team of the Navy standing aside, "Division Commander Ren, we will hold a military parade in Surabaya tomorrow, can the young men of your division complete this task?" If I can't, I'll leave this task to the Sixth Division. ”

"Sir, no problem! Whoever dares to take those stinky boys will clean up his turtle son. Ren Ran was in a hurry, and even his hometown accent was revealed, so I don't want this good opportunity to show my face.

"But the Dutch don't necessarily want to."

Ren Ran snorted coldly, "The phoenix that has lost its hair is not as good as a chicken, they Dutch even let the Germans occupy their homeland, do they still want to occupy such a good place?" It's time to move the nest for us. ”

The corners of Zheng Xin's mouth raised, and a slight sneer appeared, Su Tong has tried his best to cultivate a militant spirit in the army since he moved into the center, and this spirit has penetrated into the bones of every soldier of the National Defense Force under Su Tong's spare infusion. It was with this spirit that the Wehrmacht fought to Siberia, and now to Yekaterinburg, and this unrestrained spirit was also instilled in the admirals.

When the fleet was getting closer and closer to the port, the sailors standing on the side saw that the port was full of people, and when they approached the dock, the sailors were surprised to see that the port was full of Chinese. Countless red flags fluttered on the port, and the Dutch flag of the red, white and blue tricolor flag towering in the port was completely submerged in the wave-like red flags of the blue and white flags.

"Warship! Our warships! ”

"This is our very own warship! Our warship is finally here! ”

The faces of countless Chinese people flashed with crystal tears, they left their homeland and came to Nanyang, they endured all the hardships and white eyes, enslavement, slaughter and exploitation continued to fall on them, and their tears that had been dried up are now gushing out like a fountain.

After the birth of the "77 Incident", the Chinese in India raised hundreds of millions of yuan in funds and donated hundreds of cars to the then Nationalist Government, and thousands of overseas Chinese in Nanyang resolutely returned to China to devote themselves to the battlefield of resistance against Japan, because they knew that only when the motherland was strong could they raise their heads in front of foreigners, and now their motherland finally sent a large warship to support them.

And the Dutch, who were originally proud of their martial arts on weekdays, had to look at these almost crazy Chinese with surprised and annoyed eyes, as if they had vaguely understood that their good days were about to pass
