354 Heavy losses

Bi Fang came to Lin Fei with a black face, Lin Fei saw that his face was wrong, and his heart trembled, "Bi Fang, why are you like this?" What happened? ”

Bi Fang said gloomily: "Report to Your Majesty, the transport ship No. 0084, which transported the designers of the National Design Institute and the craftsmen of the chemical industry, sank, and all the people on board, except for one survivor, died. ”

When Lin Fei heard Bi Fang's words, his eyes suddenly darkened, he took two steps back, sat on the chair with his knees limp and collapsed, and felt that all the strength of his body had been drained for a while, and the 0084 transport ship was carrying fifty designers and forty craftsmen in the chemical industry, as well as more than sixty craftsmen in metal smelting and metal processing, and lost more than 150 industrial talents at once, and this loss would take a year to make up for it, which simply poached Lin Fei's heart at once.

Lin Fei took a long time to recover, "Bi Fang, how did our ship not sink?" Is the investigation out? ”

Bi Fang frowned, and said angrily: "Our ship was sunk..."

As soon as he heard the sinking, Lin Fei's anger instantly rose up, and the depression and sadness that had just accumulated in his heart seemed to have found a breakthrough in an instant, and suddenly burst out from this breakthrough, Lin Fei "snapped" the table, and the teacup on the table was shaken to the ground and shattered, "Who is so bold that he dares to sink my ship?" ”

Bi Fang gently spit out three words...... Dutchman, Lin Fei clenched his fists so loudly that he stared at Bi Fang and asked, "How can you be sure that it was the Dutch who did it?" ”

Bi Fang replied: "Report to Your Majesty, we have found a survivor, and I asked from the survivor that the Dutch had done it. ”

"Survivors? It's been two days, and there will be survivors? ”

"The survivor got a life raft and stayed on it, not directly immersed in the sea, and he escaped."

Lin Fei hurriedly said, "What about the survivors? Can you bring him to me? ”

"Your Majesty, the survivor is very weak and is now recuperating on the Cloud Dragon Ship, and we haven't even sent him off the ship."

"Don't say more, take me to him." Lin Fei followed Bi Fang to the Yunlong ship, and went straight to the infirmary, only to see a gloomy girl lying on the hospital bed, her eyes closed, her chest rising and falling slightly.

The girl heard the voices of Lin Fei and Bi Fang, opened her eyes, and when she saw Lin Fei, there was a hint of excitement on her lifeless face, and she said in a hoarse voice: "Your Majesty...... 陛xià......"

The girl raised her hand with all her strength and stretched out to Lin Fei, Lin Fei took a few steps to grab her side, grabbed her hand, sat beside her, and said softly: "Don't be afraid, it's okay." ”

The girl whimpered quietly, Lin Fei turned his head to look at Bi Fang, and asked, "What about the military doctor?" ”

At this time, a handsome military doctor walked up to Lin Fei and said, "Your Majesty, I am the chief medical officer of the Yunlong Ship, Huang Jiudong. ”

Lin Fei was stunned, "Huang Jiudong? How do I hear this name so familiar? ”

"Your Majesty, I am a disciple of Mr. Fei Hong, I have followed Mr. Fei Hong to learn kung fu and medical skills since I was a child, and I once followed Mr. Fei Hong to fight against the Japanese in Taiwan, and then I met Your Majesty, and came to the Chinese Empire, compared with the Qing Kingdom, the Chinese Empire is simply a fairyland, so I didn't want to go back to the Qing Kingdom with the master, so I stayed in Huaxia, and later served as the chief medical officer of the Yunlong Ship."

Lin Fei suddenly realized, praised Huang Jiudong a few words, and then asked, "How is this girl's situation?" ”

"Your Majesty, don't worry, she's just weak, it's good to recuperate for a while."

Lin Fei was relieved at this time, and then the girl's whimper gradually subsided, and Lin Fei asked, "What's your name?" Which unit is it from? ”

The girl said: "My name is Peng Miao, and I just entered the National Design Institute this year. ”

Lin Fei's Chinese Empire implemented a policy of equality between men and women, girls could go to school like boys, and when they entered the National Design Institute, Lin Fei said "yes" and then asked, "How did your ship get sunk?" Who sank it? ”

Peng Miao replied: "It's a Dutch warship, I can see it very clearly, there is a Dutch flag on the warship, they saw us and opened fire, one cannon after another, our ship was hit by several shells, into a lot of water, and sank after a while, they also sent a small boat, killed people when they saw it, I saw that the people on the boat had red hair, it was the appearance of the Dutch, I held a life raft, swam desperately, and finally dodged it......"

Peng Miao cried bitterly as she spoke, "I'm going to get married in two months, but he's ...... He was ...... by the Dutch in order to protect me Killed ......"

Lin Fei's nose was sour, his eyes were a little moist, he hugged her in his arms, hugged her shoulders and comforted her softly, and when Peng Miaoqing eased up slightly, Lin Fei asked, "How many enemy warships are there?" ”

"Three."

"What do they look like? You think about it. ”

Peng Miao was embarrassed for a while, "I don't understand warships, I don't know what to say." ”

"You know the chimney, right? And the mast, you should know each other, right? Sue me, sink your warship, how many chimneys, how many masts? How are the chimneys and masts arranged? ”

Peng Miao closed her eyes and tried to recall for a while, "There are two chimneys, in the center of the hull, there are two masts, one in the bow and one in the stern. ”

Sure enough, it was a Dutch warship ... Lin Fei nodded, and then asked, "Do you remember from what direction those warships came from?" ”

Peng Miao replied, "It's from the south." ”

"South? Is there a naval base for the Dutch to the south? Lin Fei couldn't help but ask, Peng Miao shook his head blankly, and then Bi Fang approached Lin Fei and whispered: "Your Majesty, on the southern island of Sulawesi, there is a port called 'Makassar', which is a natural port, which can be used both for military and commercial purposes, have you forgotten?" ”

"Makassar?" Lin Fei recited the name of the place, he was more familiar with this place, this port in his time, was the most important city in Sulawesi, but also the largest city, in history, Makassar was once the center of commodity trade in Southeast Asia, and the Chinese who went down to the South Seas often came to trade there.

After the Dutch invaded Sulawesi in the 16th century and occupied Makassar, which was abandoned for a time, Makassar was restored to prosperity in the 19th century and became the center of trade between Sulawesi and Sumatra.

Lin Fei looked at Bi Fang and said, "Let's go, let's go out and talk." Lin Fei comforted Peng Miao a few words, instructed Huang Jiudong to take care of Peng Miao, and walked out of the infirmary with Bi Fang and walked to the combat conference room.

On the way, Bi Fang asked, "Your Majesty, are we going to attack Sulawesi?" Makassar is the most important Dutch stronghold on Sulawesi, and if we take Makassar, we will be able to control the whole of Sulawesi. ”

Lin Fei didn't say anything, but said, "Let's go to the conference room first, and bring Liu Daming and them to discuss it." ”

Lin Fei then took Bi Fang to the conference room and sent someone to invite Liu Daming, after Liu Daming arrived, Bi Fang told him about the matter, Liu Daming was suddenly angry and roared: "It's just that the British dare to be arrogant with us, and the little red-haired man still dares to bully us?" If they don't clean them up, they will have to fight Yanhuang City in the future..."

Lin Fei waved his hand lightly, signaling Liu Daming to calm his anger, and then said, "I'm wondering, what do the Dutch want to do?" ”

"Does that even need to be considered? Let's support the Republic of Lanfang to occupy Pontianak, and now we have occupied Balikpapan, of course Hongmaozi want to retaliate, they don't dare to attack our warships, so naturally they want to attack our civilian ships..."

Lin Fei said calmly: "I'm wondering, do the Dutch want to simply retaliate, or do they want to blockade Balikpapan, or counterattack Balikpapan?" ”

Lin Fei was naturally extremely furious when he heard that the Dutch had sunk his transport ship, but after all, he was the commander of the whole army and the king of a country, and it was impossible to retaliate with a slap of his head, and calmly analyzing the opponent's strategy was what he should do.

Liu Daming also calmed down when he heard this, and said: "I think it's just a simple revenge, the Dutch only have three cruisers, and it is nonsense to want to block such a large Makassar Strait, as for the counterattack on Balikpapan, hehe, with the combat effectiveness of the Dutch army, fight an amphibious landing and counterattack operation, unless the commander's head is knocked unconscious by the battleship propeller." ”

Bi Fang agreed on the side: "I think Captain Liu's analysis is reasonable, the Makassar Strait is more than 300 kilometers wide, and the cruisers of the Dutch have a speed of about 10 knots, so they have no ability to blockade operations at all, let alone counterattack operations." ”

Lin Fei nodded and said: "It seems that you two think the same as me, I also think that the Dutch are simply retaliating, in this case, we must take corresponding revenge measures, otherwise the Dutch really think that I Lin someone is easy to bully..."

Bi Fang said worriedly: "Your Majesty, it's just that if we want to retaliate, the defense of Balikpaban will be empty. ”

Lin Fei said with a smile: "Don't worry about Balikpapan, we have launched four new Dragon-class cruisers this time, I decided to send two to Pontianak and two to Balikpapan, and I will lead the Tianlong ship and Yunlong ship to Wangkassar." ”

Yanhuangcheng's shipbuilding factory has two slipways, can build two warships at the same time, after Lin Fei laid down Dayu City, and organized manpower to build a slipway in Dayu City, after the end of the defense of Taiwan, Dayu City built two slipways, so the construction speed of the Dragon-class cruiser was significantly accelerated, and after the end of the Pontianak War, the Chinese Empire built four Dragon-class cruisers at a time.

At this time, Lin Fei was in control of Luzon, the Visayas, Mindanao, Taiwan and Pontianak, and in order to firmly control these places, the Dragon-class cruisers naturally had more and more of the merrier.
