On the first day of the exercise, two merchant ships of the Dutch East Indies had been sunk by submarines, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Kingdom of the Netherlands officially sent a diplomatic note to the Han Empire, strongly protesting against the sinking of its merchant ships by the Royal Han Navy, and demanding that the Han Empire immediately order the Royal Navy to stop its barbaric acts, compensate for all losses of the sunken merchant ships, and apologize and guarantee that such incidents would not occur again.

This sharply worded diplomatic note did not receive any response from the Han Empire, and His Majesty said in the main base: "The future results of a country do not depend on words, but on actual actions." (Salute to Vice President Wang!) ）

The next day, a British-flagged merchant ship reappeared in the exercise area, and was greeted with the loud bang of a torpedo striking the merchant ship. This time, the Han Foreign Minister took the lead in speaking out: The no-fly zones and no-navigation zones set by the Han Empire in the exercise area are in line with international practice and are applicable to all countries. The dignity of the empire brooks no instigation from any country or force harboring evil intentions.

Germany was the first to respond, saying that the demarcation of the no-fly zone was in line with practice and relevant international regulations, and that the German Third Reich supported the actions of the Han Imperial military to defend the dignity of the country, and strictly ordered all German ships and aircraft to stay away from the no-sail zone and no-fly zone.

Once again, the British newspapers were collectively silenced, and only an unknown official of the British Foreign Office issued a statement that the merchant ship flying the British flag had been verified to be not a British-flagged merchant ship. The British Foreign Office is concerned about the incident, but will not note the Han Foreign Office about the sinking of the merchant ship.

Wilson in the building of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in the Suzaku District of Chang'an City put his feet in shiny leather shoes on the wide desk, carefully trimmed the Cuban cigar in his hand, and lazily instructed his hot white female secretary: "Jian Ning, send an article to the editor-in-chief Zou of the South China Daily: The Han Empire respects all friendly countries, Britain is the first brotherly state to establish diplomatic relations with the Han Dynasty, the Han Dynasty is an ancient saying, for a brother can stick a knife in the ribs, we will resolutely crack down on the illegal counterfeiting of British merchant ships."

Press the lighter, heat the cigar evenly and light it, take a beautiful puff, through the thin smoke, the comfortable foreign secretary looked at the secretary's back, "tsk" twice, "This girl's ass is getting bigger and bigger!" I'm really afraid that her little waist is twisted! ”

suddenly remembered what His Majesty taught him: You can stick a knife in your ribs for your brother! Wilson sneered and said to himself: "Your Majesty, this is going to stab your brothers!" ”

Commander Long Chau (played by the friendship of the book) of the Royal Navy's Northern Fleet, commander-in-chief of the "Hurricane" exercise in the Timor Sea, has officially made a request to the Dutch East India Governor-General, Lamberts: Because the No. 013 artillery torpedo boat participating in the exercise was lost in a strong wind, according to the direction of the current, it was determined that the direction of the disappearance of No. 013 was Java Island, and His Excellency the Governor General was requested to allow the Royal Navy's Northern Fleet to enter the Dutch East Indies waters to search.

"This is an instigation of the civilized world, this is a long-planned conspiracy!" Governor Lamberts slammed the telegram in his hand to the ground, "Tell those yellow pigs that they will not be allowed to enter the sacred territory of the Kingdom of the Netherlands!" ”

The news that the Dutch refused to allow the Northern Fleet to enter Indonesian waters to search for missing torpedo boats quickly spread back to Weiyang Palace, and when Qian Zhihao, who was in the main base, received this call and was about to report, His Majesty was losing his temper at Director Qin: This time, you have to obey, and you have to obey if you don't!

After hearing this, Captain Qian immediately turned around and left the base hall, picked up the phone, and called Commander Long Zhou, the commander-in-chief of the "Hurricane" exercise: "Your Majesty has an order, take it!" ”

Immediately, all the ships participating in the exercise sounded a piercing siren, and the voice of the captain came over the radio: All personnel are in position, all guns are loaded with live ammunition, please pay attention! This is not a drill! Again, this is not a drill!

The amphibious landing ship Zibu (Zhang Zhao Zhang Zibu), which had been waiting for a long time in the port of Rafael, and 10 large transport ships crossed the Timor Sea under the protection of submarines to join the Northern Fleet participating in the exercise, and went north along the islands of Savu, Sumba, and Bali to search for the missing torpedo boat No. 013, and met the Dutch Far East Fleet outside the port of Chigara. After many contacts, the warships of the two sides did not give in, and the Dutch Far East Fleet demanded that the Northern Fleet immediately return to the Timor Sea, while Long Zhou said that the Han Royal Fleet could not retreat. It is the fine tradition of the Royal Fleet not to abandon and not to abandon every comrade-in-arms, and the 013 must be found, and for this will be done at any cost.

After drafting this telegram, Commander Long immediately ordered all ships to adjust their shooting crews and prepare for war! Twenty minutes later, when the telegraph operator came to report with another telegram from the Dutch Far East Fleet, Long Zhou had already put his mouth on the walkie-talkie, "Fire!" ”

It was a naval battle in the traditional sense, in which both sides fired naval guns at each other, supplemented by torpedoes and other means of attack. The Xingba heavy cruiser and other general-class destroyers and captain-class frigates of the Northern Fleet have a higher degree of modernization and advanced fire control equipment, but their design positioning is air defense and anti-submarine, and the largest caliber of the main gun is only the four 203 mm rapid-fire guns on the Xingba, and the largest of the other destroyers is only 155 mm guns, which is not very powerful, especially in the face of the flagship of the Dutch Far East Fleet, the old battleship Surabaya, built before World War I. But it still couldn't stop the roar of its 304mm guns. Although the terrifying main gun of the Surabaya failed to directly hit the Han warship because of its slow rate of fire and poor accuracy, the mere near-miss of the bomb had already embarrassed the Xingba, which had a displacement of more than 10,000 tons. Three foredeck sailors were carried into the sea by a huge wave of cannonballs, the first casualty record in the history of the Royal Navy.

In the end, it was the submarine forces that solved the battle, and the fierce battle on the sea covered the actions of this group of "sea wolves", and the Hurricane-class submarine group fired more than a dozen torpedoes at a distance of 500 meters from the Surabaya, seven of which hit the old battleship, and in the earth-shattering explosion, the old Surabaya of nearly 20,000 tons was sent into the sky, and then smashed heavily on the sea surface and broke into several pieces, and all sank to the bottom of the sea within three minutes, leaving only white foam and oil stains on the sea surface.

On the Xingba, Long Zhou, who had just been thrown out of the command platform in the violent shaking, rubbed the big bag on his forehead, let out a long breath, and grabbed the walkie-talkie, "The guns are free to shoot and sink them." "The declining Far East Fleet of the Kingdom of the Netherlands has only this one capital ship, and the rest are thousands of tons of old destroyers and small-tonnage gunboats, in the face of them, the Xingba has enough confidence, saying that it is not a good job to bombard the battleship with thick skin and flesh, fortunately, ......, Commander Long loosened the string that had been tightened in his heart, wiped the sweat on his face with the back of his hand, but accidentally touched the big bag on his forehead, and grinned again.

Without exposing the advanced second-generation aircraft carriers, using cruisers and smaller destroyers and frigates to attract firepower, submarines implement wolf pack tactics to deal with the opposing battleships, and then destroy the Dutch Far East Fleet. This was the first step of the "1937 Maritime Joint" operation jointly drawn up by the Navy Command and the General Staff Staff, and compared with His Majesty's poor naming standards, the code name of this operation was still quite popular with officers and men at all levels, at least much better than the "cutting down trees and picking shrimp" and the like.

Several other old destroyers of the Far East Fleet were all old guns with a speed of less than 20 knots and a few minutes of old guns, under the blow of the Royal Navy's new rapid-fire guns, they were almost powerless to fight back, even if they lacked the striking power of large-caliber guns to kill with one hit, an hour later, the ships of the Dutch Far East Fleet on the sea were still swept away, and the beautiful and rich Sunda Islands were like a dilapidated lady, who was savagely dragged out of the boudoir and impatiently opened her most private arms to the Royal Navy.
