"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! "Several shells exploded in the Dutch Indonesian Governor's Palace, especially a 105-millimeter shell, which collapsed the rockery in the garden of the Governor's Palace. The shells fell into the Governor's Palace, causing a tumult in the Governor's Palace.

When the shell exploded in the Governor's Palace, the Dutch Indonesian Governor Jacques Brown. Dominic is drinking a cup of coffee. As a result, the coffee was spilled all at once. The white pants were stained with brown coffee stains, as if they were dry stools. Jacques. The face of the Governor of Dominica suddenly became very ugly.

"Bastard! What's going on? What happened? "Jacques. The Governor of Dominica was furious. The plan to massacre the Chinese was affected, which made him hold back the fire in his belly. Now, with this excuse, it's time to vent out!

"Your Excellency the Governor! A cannonball has landed in the Doge's Palace. Two of our houses were blown up and several people were injured! The guards outside the door came running to report.

"What? Those damn yellow-skinned monkeys dared to hit the Governor's Mansion with cannonballs? Bastard, inform General de Boer that once you want to sink those yellow-skinned monkey ships! "Jacques. The Governor of Dominica was furious.

"Yes, Your Excellency the Governor!" The guards hurriedly ran away. Who knows Jacques under the wrath. What will the Governor of Dominica do?

As the center of Dutch-Indonesian colonial rule, Batavia was the main Dutch settlement in the South Seas. After the Dutch took control of the Indonesian archipelago, they mainly plundered the local resources. At the same time, they dump their products on the natives here to plunder the wealth. In order to ensure Dutch rule here, the Dutch did not only deploy a large army and navy in Dutch Indonesia. Batavia, the center of domination, has particularly strengthened its defenses.

On the hill to the left of the port area of Batavia. The Dutch-Indonesian colonial authorities built several large artillery batteries here and deployed dozens of large-caliber heavy guns. Basically, they were all 24-pounderers, and a few were 32-pounderers. However, again, these cannons are also old breech guns with a relatively short range. In addition, the protection of the battery is basically equal to zero. In such cases. If you want to use such a turret to defend against threats from the sea, the effect can be imagined. If it encounters the navies of Western countries, it may also be able to rely on the superiority in the caliber of artillery. Knock enemies back. However, in the face of the Xinhua Navy, which is capable of launching an attack outside their range, these old batteries can only be targets!

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! "The shore defense batteries of the Dutch army opened fire. Dozens of large-caliber shells flew towards the sea. Outcome. When it was still a few hundred meters away from the warship of the Xinhua Navy, it fell into the sea. A huge jet of water was splashed. When the water falls on the surface of the sea, it is as if it were raining rain.

"Haha! Did the Dutch take it easy? Order all ships, adjust the shelling targets, and kill the Dutch coastal defense batteries first! "On the cruiser No. 21, the commander of the Second Fleet of the Xinhua Navy, Lu Haipeng, gave the order.

The four 'Shark-class' cruisers began to turn, and the ship's guns began to adjust the direction of the shelling. In order to ensure their own safety, these warships all stayed three kilometers away. Otherwise, only the weak hulls of these battleships. If you are hit by a large-caliber shell, you will be seriously injured if you don't die. The first priority of the naval operations of the Xinhua State. It's to save yourself while killing the enemy to the maximum!

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! "Ten minutes later, the four 'Shark-class' cruisers of the Second Fleet of the Xinhua Navy began to bombard the shore defense batteries of the Dutch army. Cannonballs whistling through the air are terrifying!

"Boom!" A 105 mm shell accurately hit a Dutch artillery shell. After the shell exploded, the entire battery was covered in thick smoke. By the time the smoke cleared, the Dutch artillerymen on the battery had already been killed or wounded. Two shore defense guns were blown up, and even the gunpowder that had been piled up on the batteries was ignited, so the Dutch artillery suffered even greater losses.

In the artillery battle between the Dutch artillery and the Xinhua Navy, they were completely at a disadvantage. Although their shore defense guns are of a larger caliber and more powerful. But that also has to be enough for the warships of the Xinhua Navy? If you can't reach it, it's all for nothing.

Less than half an hour later, Lieutenant General de Boer received a report that half of the fire on the shore fort had been destroyed and that the Dutch artillery had lost hundreds of men. The shells they fired only killed some fish in the sea. If this continues, I am afraid that it will not be long before their coastal defense batteries will be completely destroyed.

"General! It can't go on like this! If we continue to fight, our artillery will be completely lost! And for those damn yellow-skinned monkeys, it won't cause any damage! A Dutch artillery officer covered in the smell of gunpowder said.

"Stop shelling! I'm going to see Your Excellency the Governor! Lieutenant General de Boer said helplessly.

After the Dutch artillery stopped counterattacking, the Xinhua navy once again adjusted its target, placing the target of the shelling in the city of Batavia. The city's indigenous slums, as well as Dutch-inhabited neighborhoods and even the Governor's Palace, were targeted by the Xinhua Navy.

"What? General de Boer? You're asking me to send someone to negotiate with those yellow-skinned monkeys? How is that possible? "Jacques. The Governor of Dominica exclaimed. Vice Admiral de Boer told him that the coastal artillery was no match for the Xinhua Navy and that there must be other ways to prevent the Xinhua Army from continuing the shelling.

"Your Excellency the Governor! The naval guns of the Xinhua Navy have a far longer range than our coastal defense guns! We are very bad! Lieutenant General de Boer explained.

Jacques. The Governor of Dominica's face was cloudy. Of course he knew the problem. Now, the shells of the Xinhua Navy are still falling into the city of Batavia, and many houses are on fire. Even his governor's palace was under constant fire, and for his own safety, he had to move his office to the basement. However, if he wants to beg for mercy from Xinhuaguo, he will never be able to do this!

"General! Do you think those yellow-skinned monkeys will negotiate with us? In today's riots, many Chinese people died! "Jacques. said the Governor of Dominica.

"Your Excellency the Governor, we have the hole cards too! Don't forget, there are tens of thousands of Chinese on the docks. If they don't stop shelling Batavia, we will take revenge on the Chinese! Although our artillery can't reach their warships, it is enough to cover the Chinese on the dock! General de Boer said. Although, he did not approve of pointing guns at civilians. However, now that the Xinhua Navy is constantly shelling Batavia, and even the Dutch settlements have been shelled, he can't care about anything else!

"Haha! Your Excellency, that's a good idea! I'll send someone to negotiate with those yellow-skinned monkeys, and your men will have their artillery ready and aim at the Chinese on the docks! If those yellow-skinned monkeys don't agree to our request, then we're not kind to them! "Jacques. The Governor of Dominica said, as if he thought he had found the weakness of the Xinhua Army.

"Yes. Your Excellency the Governor! Lieutenant General de Boer nodded and went down to set up.

Ten minutes later, a group of Dutchmen waving white flags walked up to the pier. The Chinese on the dock glared angrily at the Dutch. Now, almost all the Chinese know that if it were not for the provocation of these Dutch, those natives would not dare to attack them. If those indigenous Indonesians are the murderers, then these Dutch are undoubtedly the culprits!

"Your Excellency Consul, I am Avar, Secretary of the Governor's Palace, and I have come to negotiate with you on the orders of His Excellency the Governor! I want to see your Supreme Commander! A young white man said with a haughty face.

"Humph! Now you Dutch are going to pick up the pieces? Where were you when our people were slaughtered by those damned natives? Fang Minghong, the consul of Xinhuaguo in Batavia, said coldly.

"Your Excellency, I don't know what you said! I only know that the shelling of Batavia by your navy now caused the loss of life and property of the Dutch! Your Excellency the Governor demands that your navy immediately stop shelling! Avar said.

"Haha! Your Excellency Secretary, do you think this is possible? Fang Minghong sneered.

"I know, it's really difficult! However, I am confident that your commander will agree to the Governor's request! Don't forget, there are so many Chinese people on the docks! The artillery of our army is already aimed at the dock at this moment! If His Excellency the Governor's request is denied, you know the consequences, needless to say! A smile on Avar's face!

"What? How dare you? Consul Fang Minghong's face changed greatly!

"Your Excellency Consul, don't talk nonsense, take me to your Supreme Commander!" Avar said impatiently.

Fang Minghong had no choice but to take Avar into a small boat and sail towards the Xinhua Navy warship on the sea.

Soon, Fang Minghong and Avar boarded the flagship of the Second Fleet of the Xinhua Navy, the 21st cruiser. Fleet Commander Lu Haipeng met with Avar, Secretary of the Dutch Indonesian Governor's Office, on the bridge.

"Commander, this guy was ordered to come to us for negotiations!" Fang Minghong first explained to Lu Haipeng.

"Negotiations? What is there to negotiate? So many of us died! These guys have to pay the price! I will never stop without shooting all the shells on the ship! Lu Haipeng said immediately.

"No, Commander! Those Dutch threaten us with their compatriots on the docks! If we don't stop shelling, they're going to hit their compatriots on the dock! Consul Fang Minghong said. (To be continued......)
