At night, the coast of Batavia in the 17th century was not as bustling as it was in later years, and the colorful lights on the shore could be seen from the steamer, but now it is almost pitch black except for a lighthouse by the harbor.

"Toot toot," three whistles came from the sea in the distance, and the Dutch soldier in charge of shore defense was already surprised, knowing that it was the sound of an Australian ship, but he got up and walked lazily to the commander to report that Australia was coming.

With the high beams on the bow of the Sea Blue turned on, the soldiers on the shore could basically clearly see the huge body of the Sea Blue. The embassy staff who were waiting for the reception at the port had already heard the whistle and had already walked to the bottom of the spiral staircase of the Sea Blue.

"General Wang, minister, welcome to everyone, rooms have been prepared in the embassy for you to rest." The new ambassador of the Batavian Embassy, Zhang Wei walked forward with a smile on his face and shook hands with everyone cordially, and then personally led everyone into the carriage, which was enough to give everyone face.

Zhang Wei, who is only 28 years old this year, was a salesman in a 4S store before the crossing, and he is quite eloquent and has a certain understanding of history, so he got the job of an ambassador this time.

"Let's rest at the embassy for the night today, and strive to finish the shipment of all coal and supplies at noon tomorrow and leave in the afternoon." Wang Tiehammer sat in the carriage and instructed everyone, the battle will be efficient, although the information transmission in this era is not developed, but the situation of the Sea Blue appearing in Batavia tonight will definitely be reported back by the Zheng family's eyes, and it is inevitable that they will react when they get the intelligence.

After a brief meal at the embassy, everyone went back to their rooms to rest and did not do any other activities.

The sudden arrival of the Australians also surprised the Governor of Batavia, Rivan Dimen, although he knew that the Australians might have to go on an expedition to the Zheng family, but after the news was released, there was no movement, originally I just thought that this was a bluff from the Australians, but I didn't think that it would come suddenly.

According to the report of the soldiers in the port, the huge ship driven by the Australians this time was different from the past, except that there was a very thick chimney-like thing on the ship, and the cannons around the hull could be seen through the lights of the ship, and there was a cannon on the top floor with a muzzle the size of a flower pot.

This Australian came with such a huge ship and cannons, if it is planned to be in other places, it will be dangerous, not to mention that there are still Australian mercenaries in this Batavia, although the more than 100 Japanese are not many, but to cooperate with the Australian soldiers on the ship, I am afraid that this Batavia will fall into his hands.

Van Diemen is a man who is prepared for danger in times of peace, and does not think that the other side really will not prevail against Batavia just because there is a non-aggression treaty with Australia, but thinks that this is just a temporary ploy by the Australians.

"Brown, inform the troops in the city and get ready for battle."

After thinking about it for a long time, Van Diemen still gave an order to Brown beside him, after all, this Batavia was not easy to come by, and if it really fell into his hands, wouldn't it be a joke.

"Your Excellency the Governor, do you really think that the Australians will suddenly plot against Batavia." Brown asked with some disbelief, and in the gradual contact with the Australians, he found that Australia actually did not have much coveting Batavia.

"No, I am the governor of Batavia, I have to think for the colony and the people of the colony, we must make some preparations to deal with the unexpected, after all, the Zheng family of the Ming Dynasty also signed a treaty with Australia, since they can travel thousands of miles to come, why can't they attack Batavia this time, haven't you seen the well-trained Japanese on the east side of the city, it's terrible."

Van Diemen's worries have to be said to be superfluous, even if someone once coveted Batavia, but now there is not, after all, Australia has not yet reached the point where it can support two wars, at this stage, a small lesson for the Zheng family, for Australia is very important, more meaningful than playing Batavia, but no one who is full will propose to take this down and hang the five-star red flag of Australia.

Perhaps it was the Dutch's excessive nervousness that the staff of Liu's embassy also noticed, and the next morning, Liu Yun went to visit the governor's palace and informed Fan Dimen of his intention this time.

Knowing that the Australians were only here for a short time to recuperate and load supplies, Van Diemen's heart finally let go of most of it, and he only thought that the Australians would transport the coal away and leave the ship as soon as possible, so he would definitely be restless if he stayed here.

At the same time that Liu Yun went to explain to the embassy, a hard sailing ship in the port was out to sea, and what he saw and heard today made the Zheng family unable to take care of it so much, and they wanted to send the news to Guangzhou in a hurry and hand it over to Zheng Zhilong.

Australia's real giant ship cannon came, and it was seen that the cannon could scare people to death, let alone whether the shell hit the ship or not.

"Third master, can we send the news back if we are in such a hurry to go to sea? The Australian giant ship travels thousands of miles a day, and I'm afraid that we have not yet delivered the news, and it has already walked in front of us. On the galleon, a Zheng family spy said to a man led by him.

"Traveling thousands of miles a day, even so, let's give it a try, isn't this Australian giant ship still docked at the port, I think it must not be so fast to sail, if it stops for a few days, we will be able to walk in front of him if we go first, so that the head of the family had better prepare, the brothers who are notified, will not stop paddling day and night, and will definitely send the news back before the time, and the master of the house will definitely be rewarded."

The person in charge of the Zheng family's secret agent named Sanye can only stay in Batavia for a few days with the Australian boss, so that he can send the news before this.

After meeting Fan Dimen, Liu Yun returned to the embassy and got a report from Bao Changshu, although he is now the top person in charge of intelligence in Batavia, but he still didn't dare to hold it up in front of the minister, and honestly reported the situation he received to Liu Yun.

"So, the Zheng family's ship has already gone to sea, and they are ready to send the information back before us," Liu Yun squinted and asked with some disapproval.

"Yes, minister, they went to sea early this morning, and there was no cargo on board except for the necessary fresh water and food, apparently in a hurry to send the information back."

"In that case, let's let them go, let's set off in the afternoon, and give them a surprise when the time comes, so that they know what the power of technology is." Liu Yun said with a smile.

Bao Changshu also smiled knowingly when he heard the five words of the power of science and technology, and the comparison between the sailboat, which completely relies on manpower and wind power, and the maneuverability of the sea blue, is simply a joke.
