355 Revenge on the Dutch
Lin Fei discussed the plan with Liu Daming and Bi Fang, and then issued an order to transfer two Dragon-class cruisers to come. On March 26, two Dragon-class cruisers arrived in Balikpapan, along with the second group of designers from the National Design Institute and experts from the chemical industry.
Lin Fei handed over the top-level design he had done in the past few days to the designers and chemical industry experts, and then took the Tianlong and Yunlong ships directly to Makassar, which was about 500 kilometers away from Makassar, and Lin Fei ordered the Tianlong and Yunlong ships to travel at a speed of 12 knots, and it only took about a day to arrive outside the port of Makassar on the morning of 27 March.
Makassar is a relatively prosperous commercial port in the Nanyang region, and many Chinese have been here, so Lin Fei easily found a guide before setting off, and the guide told Lin Fei that Makassar is a deep-water port, and the hydrological conditions are relatively simple, and a ship like a dragon-class cruiser can directly sail into it.
Lin Fei asked the guide: "Are there any shore fortifications in Makassar?" ”
The guide shook his head and said, "No, not only does Makassar have no shore fortifications, but basically nothing related to the war. ”
Lin Fei nodded, since the hydrological situation of Makassar is simple, and there are no shore fortifications, and the three battleships of the Dutch Navy are still old and backward warships, then lead the battleships directly into the port of Makassar, and kill the Dutch warships one by one, and kill one by one...
Lin Fei personally led the Tianlong ship in front, and the Yunlong ship followed behind, the open and calm water in the port, the verdant and picturesque mountains, and the busy merchant ships, a scene that was indisputable with the world, no one would have thought that the Dutch warships and merchant ships were already in great trouble...
If the Dutch didn't provoke Lin Fei, Lin Fei could still keep them, but the Dutch dared to attack Lin Fei's transport ship, and Lin Fei lost more than 150 technicians, Lin Fei couldn't have taken revenge...
Lin Fei raised the binoculars and soon found the three Dutch battleships moored, these three battleships have a displacement of about 4,000 tons, equipped with two 240 mm guns, although the guns of the Dutch battleships have a caliber advantage, but the rate of fire of this kind of artillery is extremely slow, Lin Fei even doubted whether their main guns could really be used, because when they were pursued by the British battleships, the main guns were not fired, Lin Fei asked Peng Miao what shell hit her transport ship, but Peng Miao knew very little about military affairs, He couldn't answer Lin Fei's question.
Lin Fei ordered the battleship to march towards the three Dutch warships, at this moment, a small steamboat came from a distance, the steamboat flew the Dutch flag, and when the steamboat approached the Tianlong ship, the steamboat sent out a light signal: "Battleship of unknown nationality, please immediately reduce the speed to five knots, and allow the pilots of the Kingdom of the Netherlands to board the ship." ”
Makassar is a very open port, and the entry of warships will not be considered an invasion of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, because the entry of warships into the port may be to add water or coal, and the Dutch will not give up this opportunity to make money.
The so-called "pilot" refers to the person who is responsible for the work of "piloting", and "piloting" refers to when a country's ship enters another country's port, the country where the port is located sends a person to board the ship, this person is the pilot, and then the ship is either operated by the pilot, or under the guidance of the pilot.
"Water diversion" is not only a measure to facilitate foreign ships to enter the port, but also a symbol of national sovereignty, Lin Fei's era of various countries have the right to water diversion, Lin Fei's Chinese Empire also has the right to water diversion, and the Qing State due to corruption and stupidity, has long given the right to water diversion.
Lin Fei turned his head to look at the guide and asked, "We don't need a pilot, can we enter the port?" ”
The guide said firmly: "Don't worry, there is absolutely no problem, I am here, and I guarantee to take you into the port." ”
Lin Fei said "Okay", then turned to Captain Liu Daming and said, "Keep the speed unchanged and crash over..."
The displacement of the Tianlong ship is about 3,500 tons, and the displacement of the steam boat on the opposite side is 100 tons.
Seeing that the Draco ship did not mean to slow down, the steam boat immediately issued a warning signal: "If your ship does not slow down again, the warships of our Kingdom of the Netherlands will sink you..."
Lin Fei sneered, just your three old antique warships, you still want to sink us? Lin Fei picked up the microphone and said to Ma Chengfeng: "Old horse, tell that steam boat, we are here to sink the warship of the Kingdom of the Netherlands." ”
Ma Chengfeng agreed loudly, and then said to the dinghy with the loudspeaker on the ship: "Attention to the pilot ship of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, I am the battleship Tianlong of the Chinese Empire, on March 19, the three warships of the Kingdom of the Netherlands launched a shameless sneak attack on the transport ship 0084 of our Chinese Empire, causing the death of more than 200 people in our Chinese Empire. ”
In fact, according to the practice of international negotiations, Lin Fei should have informed the Kingdom of the Netherlands of this matter in advance and negotiated with it, but Lin Fei knew that in this way, the warships of the Kingdom of the Netherlands would run away, and there were still many islands in the Dutch East Indies, such as Maluku Island, Sumatra Island, Java Island, etc., these three warships would not necessarily run anywhere, and Lin Fei would not be able to stand it if they came out to attack the transport ship again.
Therefore, Lin Fei decided to kill the three warships with thunderous means first, and then carry out follow-up negotiations, which not only shocked the Dutch, but also removed the threat of the three warships to himself.
Hearing Ma Chengfeng's words, the steam boat hurriedly drove to the shore, wanting to report to the naval commander Williamson, but Lin Fei didn't give them a chance to send a message, Lin Fei directly ordered the Tianlong ship and the Yunlong ship to aim at the Dutch battleship with the side of the gunwalt, and bombarded it with all their strength until it was sunk.
The Tianlong ship and the Yunlong ship began to turn the hull, facing the three Dutch battleships on the side side, Lin Fei saw that the distance was close to more than 2,000 meters, and gave an order: "Open fire..."
The two battleships concentrated twelve guns and fired at the Dutch battleship, the Dutch army did not expect that the warships of the Chinese Empire would directly block them in the harbor and beat them, so they were defenseless, except for the sailors on duty, the other officers on the battleship even got off the ship and went to live happily, so the Dutch battleship did not even have a little counterattack.
The Dutch battleship was moored near the pier, motionless, the Sky Dragon and the Cloud Dragon were hitting a stationary target, and it was much easier to hit a stationary target than a moving target, so the shells fell on the Dutch battleship one after another, and a ball of fire rose into the air, and the sailors on the battleship ran to the shore screaming.
The sound of the cannon attracted the attention of the merchant ships of other countries in the harbor, and everyone watched in amazement.
The three Dutch warships caught fire under the blows of the Tianlong ship and the Yunlong ship, the fire was so big that it was not even possible to extinguish it, there were firefighting ships in the port, but they all stayed where they were, and they didn't dare to step forward, this was the Chinese Empire conducting a military operation, which guy dared to hit the muzzle?
Between the boiling flames, the three battleships began to sink into the water, and the water at the dock was relatively shallow, so when the three battleships sank halfway to the bottom of the sea, the entire side was swallowed by the sea, and the part on the deck was still wrapped in fire.
At this moment, a steamship came from a distance, the steamship was flying the Dutch flag and the Dutch flag, there were two guns on the steamboat, obviously the Dutch gunboat, Lin Fei ordered loudly: "Turn the gun, hit the new gunboat..."
Before the gunners could turn their guns, the Dutch gunboat sent a message: "Please don't open fire, the commander of the Dutch East Indies Navy, Williamson, is on board, and he wants to meet Lin Fei..."
Lin Fei sneered and ordered: "Send a message to the Dutch gunboat and ask Williamson to bring his men to my ship." ”
It didn't take long for Williamson to take a small boat to the Tianlong ship, in front of Lin Fei. Williamson's face turned blue with anger, and he pointed to the three warships that were still burning in the distance and shouted: "Lin Fei, you actually launched a sneak attack on our warship, aren't you afraid of our Dutch Kingdom?" ”
Lin Fei shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "Don't be afraid." ”
Williamson was so angry that his whole body trembled, and then roared: "Our Kingdom of the Netherlands still has a home fleet, aren't you afraid that our home fleet will blow up your Huaxia Empire?" "The Netherlands, like Spain, were an empire that had not fallen and had no strength to expedition to the South Seas.
Lin Fei still shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "Of course I'm not afraid." ”
Williamson pointed at Lin Fei, so angry that he couldn't say half a word, and only after a long time did he say, "Lin ...... Lin Fei, you brazenly launched a sneak attack on my warship, do you know what justice and justice are? Aren't you afraid of being condemned by countries around the world? ”
Lin Fei laughed, "How can there be justice and justice in this world? Whoever has a hard fist will listen to whom... Did you Dutch occupy our island of Taiwan and think about being condemned? Have you ever wanted to be condemned for killing Chinese people in Indonesia? ”
Williamson was speechless, Lin Fei smiled and said, "Okay, let's not talk about this matter, let's move on to the rest of the matter, I was going to send a messenger to find you, but since you are here, I will tell you directly." ”
Lin Fei stretched out his hand to his subordinates, and one of his subordinates took a document and handed it to Lin Fei's hand, Lin Fei handed the document to Williamson, and said with a smile: "This is the agreement between the 'Chinese Empire and the Kingdom of the Netherlands on the lease of the southern region of Sulawesi' that I have drafted, please take a look at it, if you think there is no problem, sign this agreement." ”
Williamson frowned and said angrily: "Lease the southern region of Sulawesi? What do you mean? ”
Lin Fei laughed, "Don't you understand what the leased land means?" You give us a piece of land to use, and you don't care what we do on it. ”
