The mission of the steel giant Sea Blue has always been to be responsible for the defense of the mainland, and with this giant ship, the security of the Australian mainland can be guaranteed, whether it is the Dutch or the Spaniards, this is a powerful existence in deterrence.

If there is a choice, Australia will definitely build more ironclad ships, but it is limited by technical defects, so it can only buy European Western sailing ships for transformation, and install steam engines to transform them into power energy.

It is no exaggeration to say that Australia's Sea Blue has always been one of the secrets that countries say to be exploring, because this giant ship is so big that its existence can directly destroy a fleet, which is no exaggeration, and the shells of the 26-pounder guns are not enough to cause any damage to it.

Judging by this situation, this statement is completely valid, because there is no opponent, and the Sea Blue is the existence of the hegemonic level, and Spain and the Netherlands, as the great seafaring powers, have discussed this kind of giant ship.

They also had ideas about this giant ship, of course, there were also ideas of imitation, but they did not get the information to make this giant ship through various channels, even the Australians themselves, they could not make it, in the words of the Australians, this giant ship gathered more than a dozen bags of their people's efforts for a hundred years, but when the big island they lived sank to the bottom of the sea, their information was all gone.

Therefore, they could not build this giant ship, the Sea Blue was the only existence, and the Dutch who visited the Sea Blue even drew the interior decoration and appearance of the Sea Blue and brought it back to China for research, but did not study the reason.

If the Dutch could have made a steel ship against the sky, then the Australians would have thought that this was another crossing of the people, otherwise they would not have been able to make it with the technology of this period.

The Dutch steam engine is said to have failed in the assembly process, and the parts could not be put together at all, and when he heard the news, You Nanzhe just smiled. It's just hilarious, they can make a bunch of parts and they can't put them together, failure is a certainty.

It's naïve to want to make a steam engine with a bunch of parts, the science is rigorous, it's not a child's play.

The Sea Blue is going to sail to Hong Kong. This news is still blocked, Australia wants to see what tricks the Dutch can play, maybe in their minds, Australia should not send the Sea Blue out of the mainland, because according to a year and a half of observation, the farthest sailing distance of the Sea Blue is Christmas Island.

Christmas Island is still a certain distance from Batavia, and it is not every day that it appears on Christmas Island, and the Sea Blue can be said to be a patrol mission from the waters of Christmas Island to the waters of Australia once a month, and the Dutch have calculated the time.

Although the sense of oppression given by the Sea Blue is still there. But as long as you don't enter their waters, you'll be fine, Brown is a first-hand witness to the bombing of Batavia, and there is still a shadow on the Sea Blue.

If he knew that the Sea Blue would pass through Batavia at this time, it is estimated that he would not have any thoughts, and at this time he was still negotiating with Jiang Junbo, hoping to hire Heishui to attack a large tribe in the north, the purpose of which was to divert Heishui's troops.

How could Jiang Junbo, who had already received instructions from the Ministry of Defense and the Department of Homeland Security, take this order. It was a matter of concern for the safety of Malacca, and if he had accepted the order, he would have been convicted of treason. Unless he stays in Southeast Asia, he will not be accepted by the Travelers.

Blackwater has invested a lot of assets in the local area, and will not give up easily, saying that Blackwater's expansion mainly relies on the local supply of weapons, and without the local supply of weapons, Blackwater's combat capability will be greatly reduced.

Vice Admiral Hammer, commander of the navy, had not fought for several years, and he was very pleased with the Dutchman's imminent move. This is the best time to train the navy, as long as there is a naval battle, those recruits of the Australian navy can directly observe.

Therefore, Wang Tiezhu proposed to set sail in person, and this time he was accompanied by more than 100 students of the Naval Academy, although it was unlikely that there would be actual combat this time. At best, it's a deterrent, but it's also a good experience to sail long distances.

It is the dream of every Navy soldier to be able to serve on the Sea Blue, because the Sea Blue is a temple, and it has become an indelible existence in the hearts of Navy soldiers.

The significance of the Sea Blue's expedition this time is to warn, not to actually fight, the most important purpose is to let the Dutch know that if they want to fight Australia, they will be punished, and the guns on the Sea Blue have been updated several times, and they are already more powerful than the original primary artillery.

The range of the guns is longer and more powerful than it was then, and from a distance, the long barrels of the cannons give people an invisible sense of oppression, so Brown, who has not seen the Sea Blue for a long time, is absolutely shocked.

"Everything is going on in secret, the supplies on board the Sea Blue are basically complete, and it will leave port tonight for Christmas Island, and it is expected to reach Batavia the day after tomorrow."

Wang Tiezhu made a final departure report at the Ministry of National Defense, and several officials from the Ministry of National Defense nodded their heads in approval.

According to Wang's proposal, it was a surprise for the Dutch, and the sudden appearance in Batavia would definitely make Brown stop all actions immediately.

If the Sea Blue were to directly confront the Dutch Batavia Fleet, then the five Dutch ships bound for Hong Kong would definitely not have to come back, and the Sea Blue would be able to sink these ships by directly turning on the ramming mode.

The Dutch Navy knew this, so Brown would definitely be scared of the ass to pee, and he definitely didn't want to see it, if the Batavia fleet was gone, then the Spaniards would be able to quickly replace the Netherlands as the dominant power in the region.

The news of the Sea Blue's departure was highly blocked, and now even if a Dutch spy found out that something was wrong, they couldn't send the news, and Liu Yun had already arranged for someone to secretly spy on these guys, so it was almost impossible for them to transmit the news back.

As long as the news does not reach Batavia, the Sea Blue is ready to make a ramming operation, directly sinking a Dutch warship, giving them a lesson, letting them know that the Sea Blue exists, not what they want.

This ramming operation is just a warning, if the Dutch are obsessed with the idea of hitting Australia, Australia does not mind sending Batavia's fleet directly to the bottom of the sea, the Sea Blue definitely has this strength and ability, and it can be done without the cooperation of other ships, so this voyage will definitely surprise Brown.
