"Uhhh

"Salute!"

With the sound of a whistle, the soldiers on the warships at Taipei's Keelung Military Port saluted together to pay tribute to the arriving Taiwan Governor Wang Guorui. And this time Wang Guorui will come to make the last patrol before the battle, especially as the next patrol of the main cruiser detachment of the Dutch warships.

"Report to the Governor, all the 1,535 officers and men of the cruiser detachment have arrived, please review the Governor!"

Wang Guorui looked at the soldiers of the more than a thousand cruisers, and then smiled. These naval soldiers trained very hard during this time, although they had some bad problems when they were in the Beiyang Naval Division, but with Wang Guorui mixed in a large number of Red Guard soldiers, their training atmosphere gradually improved. Although they originally had some bad problems, under the leadership of a large number of Red Alert soldiers, they were able to gradually change, which is a good situation. The military is a group, and humans are all group creatures. If a group is developing in the good way, then the bad people will also be transformed into good people. But if a group develops in the bad way, then I am afraid that the good people will be forced to join the same stream. Therefore, under the hard training of a large number of Red Guard soldiers, the soldiers and ruffians of the Beiyang Naval Division have gradually improved, which can be regarded as allowing them to have their own discipline.

"Very well, I'm glad to see you guys in such good spirits. And with you, I believe that you can defend our country and expand our territory for China! Wang Guorui said.

"Governor Wang, please come on board the ship for a visit!" Li He, the commander of the cruiser detachment, said.

At present, the two most important detachments in Taiwan are the battleship detachment and the cruiser detachment, and their detachment commanders are the remaining warship pipe belts of the Beiyang Naval Division at that time, that is, the captains of the ships. Their names are Qiu Baoren and Li He, and Qiu Baoren was the pipe band of the original Beiyang Navy Division to come to the distant ship, and was dismissed from his post after the Battle of the Yellow Sea, and then he was at home. Later, he was poached by Wang Guorui. Of course, the main thing is that they want revenge. And Li He was originally the pipe band of the Pingyuan ship, and now he has also become the captain of the cruiser detachment.

At present, only the two of them in the Beiyang Naval Division are qualified to be captains, because they have served as captains and participated in actual combat. And Taiwan's local sailors are simply not able to serve as captains, let alone captains of warships. So they can only be allowed to serve. Moreover, most of the Beiyang sailors were from Fujian, and Wang Guorui was also from Fujian, which naturally made them feel a little close. However, the current Taiwanese sailors are no longer dominated by Fujianese, because Wang Guorui used a lot of Red Police sailors, so they were not enough to monopolize the navy. The current navy is a normal navy, not a Fujianese navy.

As for Lan Jianshu, the captain of the Beiyang Naval Division, he went to the Taiwan Military Academy to serve as the director of the naval branch and was responsible for training naval officers.

"Li He. We're ready for war, and this time your cruiser detachment is the main force. Therefore, whether we can expand the territory this time depends on you. Wang Guorui said.

Li He immediately said: "All the qiē is in the plan, we are fighting against the Dutch this time, and we are completely killing chickens with knives. The Dutch had completely declined, and they had only a few all-steel warships so far. And their all-steel warships are all in Europe, and there are no all-steel warships in Eastern Asia at all. And they are nothing more than a few broken ships in Asia. We can always send them into the water to feed the king! ”

Of course, Li He has this confidence, because the Dutch simply don't have much strength in Asia. Their all-steel warships are also on their homeland, protecting their homeland. Although Indonesia is a colony of the Dutch, it is impossible for the Dutch to give up European protection in order to protect the colony, after all, the mainland is also the most important. There are so many Dutch people playing around a large group of giants in a big European country, and of course they need to get some more protection. As for Asia, there are no powers. And Japan has just risen, and Japan has no idea of fighting the idea of Nanyang.

If Japan wants to expand to the South Seas from a geographical point of view, it must conquer Taiwan. Without Taiwan, Japan would not have been able to expand into the South Seas. And the Dutch on the Taiwanese side did not have the slightest defense. Because the Dutch still subconsciously despise the Chinese. After all, in the eyes of Europeans, the Chinese can only defend, not attack, and the Chinese will not expand at all. They subconsciously forgot that Taiwan has a strong navy and can be expanded. This is the stubborn understanding of China in European countries, and in their eyes, the Chinese can only be passively beaten, and cannot take the initiative to attack outside. And even if China has strong strength, China can only defend, not attack European countries. In their eyes, this is also the logic of banditry, believing that it is reasonable and legal for European countries to attack China, but it is not okay for China to attack European countries. And it is precisely because of this bandit logic that they believe that it is impossible for the Chinese to attack the territory of European countries.

Moreover, even if you take a step back, the Europeans think that the Taiwanese side will expand, it will also expand to the mainland. They were all wary of Taiwan's expansion to the mainland, but they did not expect that Taiwan was actually expanding to the south, not to the mainland. At present, Taiwan is still beyond the power of Western countries to single-handedly challenge Western countries, so it must expand southward to accumulate strength.

Wang Guorui got on the Laiyuan on these cruisers, and then took the initiative to observe these warships.

"Lord Wang, these warships are imitations of the Orlando-class protective cruisers of the British, and they are completely steel-hulled in structure, which is currently one of the most advanced cruisers in the world. However, this so-called most advanced is also because no new cruiser has been invented for more than ten years, which makes this cruiser more than ten years ago still the most advanced. And if you deal with the Japanese, although the cruiser detachment is a little weak, but against the Dutch, those guys who are not even as good as the Japanese, it can be said that they can be captured. Li He said.

Wang Guorui is also a little helpless, because the red alert system can produce the weapons that this world has, but soldiers can't produce what they don't have. In other words, Wang Guorui can only produce those things that have been produced by other countries, and those things that have not been invented cannot be produced. Wang Guorui wants to produce, then there are only two options, one is to develop it himself, and then he can also produce it. As for the other method, it is to wait for other countries to invent it, and then produce it. Of course, Wang Guorui actually hopes to develop it himself, so that he can get the greatest advantage before others.

But now there has been no development of cruisers in the past ten years, and the development of cruisers has entered a period of stagnation, so this model more than ten years ago is still able to fight on the sea. Next, Wang Guorui has begun to set up his own warship design team, which will be composed of those international students, and then a small number of senior engineers will help assist in the design. Wang Guorui's goal is to be able to design that epoch-making warship, so that the Taiwan side will not be afraid of being surpassed by the enemy within ten years. And once that epoch-making warship is designed, it may be the rallying cry for Taiwan's march to Chinese mainland. However, designing a warship is not so easy, and it is impossible to design it in a few years, not to mention that these international students are still starting from scratch and have no real design experience. So Wang Guorui can only choose to wait, and then accumulate strength.

"Li He, next we will attack Indonesia, you will be the main force. And the battleship detachment will not act with you, so you have to be careful, the pressure is still not small! Wang Guorui said.

Li He immediately asked: "Then since the battleship detachment will not come to participate in our battle this time, where will they go?" ”

At present, Taiwan's most powerful is the battleship detachment, but this time, the battleship detachment will not take the initiative to participate in the attack together, which makes Li He a little surprised. If the battleship detachment did not participate in the attack, the strength of the Taiwan Navy would probably be reduced by more than half, so Li He felt that the strength in his hands was somewhat insufficient.

"Battleship detachment, we will have his use. The battleship detachment was used to hold Taiwan, and we were wary of the Japanese. Battleships are the anchors of the sea, and we can't use them casually. If we go south to Indonesia and the Japanese devils suddenly come and attack, it will be troublesome. We don't believe in the devils' rituals, they're very good at sneak attacks. Therefore, we must have sufficient strength to be able to protect Taiwan's security. Wang Guorui said.

Wang Guorui knew that the Japanese devils could not be trusted, but they were famous for their sneak attacks, which can be seen from the later Pearl Harbor. Therefore, even if they march south to Indonesia, they must still have the necessary precautions, otherwise the Japanese will be in trouble if they attack Taiwan.

However, Wang Guorui believed that the strength of the cruiser detachment was enough to deal with the Dutch fleet in Asia, and he could completely defeat them. And if the Dutch want to attack, they have to come from their homeland, and they will not be able to come to the Far East for several months. Therefore, Wang Guorui thought that by the time they came, Indonesia had basically been occupied by Wang Guorui, so that Wang Guorui could have a few more warships, and then go to a decisive battle with the Dutch again.
