Naturally, there would be no suspense about the outcome of the Anglo-Dutch battle, except for three light cruisers with some destroyers and torpedo boats, which finally succeeded in breaking through with the advantage of a shallow draft, the rest of the entire fleet, including two shore defense battleships and two heavy cruisers, was sunk at the mouth of the Rhine.

However, the grief-stricken Dutch also achieved a respectable victory, and their destroyers and torpedo boats sank a British battleship, a heavy cruiser, and four destroyers in a desperate surprise attack, under the cover of the capital ships as meat shields. Although they did not sink a single British battleship, they used their crazy 280 main guns to seriously injure four British battleships, including the Sovereign, and what is even more jaw-dropping is that these two battleships actually held out at sea for nearly two hours before sinking under dozens of times the enemy siege.

Among them, the Rotterdam was not even sunk, the flagship of the Dutch Navy, after being smashed into a sea of fire, struggled to drive to the main channel of the Rhine estuary, and opened the sea valve with another heavy cruiser that had also been heavily damaged, and blocked the channel by sinking itself under the gaze of countless compatriots on the shore.

Of course, their self-sinking could not stop the landing of the British, for those landing ships with a very shallow draft, it did not matter whether the channel was not a channel at all, and all thirty-two landing ships drove out of the rear of the fleet and began to land in the Netherlands under the protection of small destroyers with shallow draft, but then the Dutch table Xiàn gave the British a headache.

The tragic curtain call of the navy completely angered the Dutch, after all, people are a little dignified, the British invasion in such an unreasonable way has already made the Dutch angry, even if reason tells them that they need to endure, but after seeing their naval fleet fulfill their duty with a tragic battle, those land forces that have been ordered to surrender only need symbolic resistance. Likewise began a real resistance. Although their combat effectiveness was far from that of the British, these Dutch soldiers, supported by their belief in defending their country, fought stubbornly in the streets of Rotterdam against the British.

Similarly, the Navy's cousins forced Queen Wilhelmina and her cabinet to the point where they had to fight, and if they continued with their original principles, they would undoubtedly be spurned by the whole country, and Her Majesty immediately issued a national mobilization and a formal declaration of war on Great Britain.

Moreover, the naval battle at the mouth of the Rhine also bought valuable time for the transfer of the Dutch army, and a large number of Dutch troops began to engage in street fighting in Rotterdam. Even enraged Dutch civilians joined the fray, stubbornly holding back the invaders in the old streets of Rotterdam.

By this time, the Dutch landing operation designed by Qiu Fatzi had completely lost control, because of the resistance of the Dutch, the British army could no longer attack Germany as quickly as possible, and instead put itself in an embarrassing situation. In particular, this shameless behavior of theirs has caused great international indignation. The vast majority of those neutral countries in Europe, including Spain and Sweden, condemned Great Britain, and even the Danish Navy began to move to the west coast. Prevent the British from attacking Germany through Denmark.

Of course, this is all insignificant, at this point in the battle, it is no longer a big deal whether to face or something, the real trouble for the British is that the resistance of the Dutch has bought time for the Germans. With the permission of the Dutch government, the German Sixth Army in Belgium began to enter the Netherlands to reinforce Rotterdam, and at the same time, some hastily redeployed German troops began to enter the Netherlands.

What is even more of a headache for the British. The High Seas Fleet arrived.

This huge fleet, led by Prince Heinrich, had eighteen battleships and battlecruisers, while the British home fleet led by Admiral May, after two battleships were sunk and four battleships were heavily damaged, now had only twenty-six capital ships at its disposal for a decisive battle.

Obviously, the British need to make a difficult choice, face the battle, the difference in strength between the two sides is not reassuring, although it will not be defeated, but the loss will definitely not be small, do not fight, then the sea passage from Britain to the Netherlands will be cut off, and the two divisions that have landed in Rotterdam will become alone, and the final result can only be annihilated. In that case, the British War Department will hate the Navy to death, and it will become a stain in the history of the British Navy that can never be washed away, not only is it certain that Qiu Fat Man will step down, but even the British Prime Minister will have to step down, although the total annihilation of more than 30,000 people is not a tragedy, compared with the French battlefield, this is just a day's casualties, but if it is caused by the abandonment of his own country, the nature is completely different.

However, soon Qiu Fatzi and the Admiralty did not need to be entangled, and the British Home Fleet, which was blocked at the mouth of the Rhine by the sinking ships of the Dutch, had begun to move north to meet the German High Seas Fleet under the leadership of Admiral May.

"Mah, it's finally time to fight." Emperor Yang in the Beijing Imperial Palace looked at the telegram in his hand excitedly and said, he didn't expect happiness to come so suddenly, he really didn't expect the Anglo-German naval decisive battle to start so quickly, and he didn't expect the Dutch to be so urinating, and they actually dared to play a big war with the British, but this is understandable, after all, the British really bullied them this time, even if it is a small country, it is dignified.

"Your Majesty, what do we need to say about the British invasion of Holland?" Zhang Quan said with a smile.

"Mean? Ah, keep an eye on it, and hopefully both sides will exercise restraint! Emperor Yang said righteously, which meant not to be expressed. In fact, it is not easy to say anything at this time, after all, it is the honeymoon period between China and the UK, Prince George is giving speeches and engaging in cultural exchanges in China, and it is okay to go to the orphanage to see the children, at this time, it is natural not to give face, including the Chinese news media should try to downplay the nature of this matter when reporting, anyway, a small country like the Netherlands will die if it dies!

Zhang Quan nodded, and continued: "I'm afraid that the Asian colonies of the Dutch will be lost in the future. ”

This is true, Indonesia is a piece of fat, with the development of the automobile industry in recent years, Indonesia's rubber plantations have made a lot of money for the Dutch, and the money they buy warships is basically earned in the rubber business, this place has long made many people drool, of course, including Emperor Yang, now there is such a good opportunity, the British and Russians naturally can't let go.

Do you want to encourage the Indonesian monkeys to rise up and take the opportunity to fight for the nation? Now the Philippine monkeys are dying for the sake of the nation, the Vietnamese monkeys have been conquered, and their queen mother spent last night in Emperor Yang's bed, and their little king just cried to Emperor Yang to complain that the prince bullied him again, so that the remaining ones that have not harmed are Burma, Malay, and Indonesian monkeys, and the standard for these guys Emperor Yang is to kill as many as he can, and then let the Chinese colonize their land.

This is a good opportunity.

First of all, the rule of the Dutch there is definitely not guaranteed, whether the British or the Russians or even the French, will not allow a hostile country to continue to keep this vast colony, and the Dutch do not have many troops in Indonesia, the three families casually send a division to estimate that the Dutch there have only one choice but to surrender.

But even if Britain, France and Russia take over Indonesia, they will not be able to effectively control this land, the reason is very simple, they are also powerless now, the British actually have only one division in Southeast Asia, and the rest are all Asansoldiers, just mixed rice, the French actually only have one brigade in Phnom Penh, their own country can't take care of it, how can they care about the colony, it is nothing more than a symbolic existence, and there is also a group of Japanese mercenaries, the main force of the Entente in Asia, in fact, the Russians, But now the Russians are struggling with an uprising against the Filipino monkeys alone.

Even the assault on Medan was actually stopped, except for the capture of the four islands of Negros, Cebu, Sama and Leyte, where the four islands are still entangled with the Philippine guerrillas. The Philippine People's Liberation Army (PLA) led by Aguinaldo and Liu Hengzhen on Luzon Island has even grown to 100,000 people, and has been constantly attacking the Russian rubber plantations, making the price of natural rubber in the market more and more expensive, and Yang Feng even had to start producing synthetic rubber.

That is to say, if the Indonesian monkeys also rise up to rebel and engage in the Du Li movement, these colonists will definitely not be able to suppress it, and of course they will not be able to give up this piece of fat, and it is a big deal to recruit mercenaries from other colonies, especially the Japanese, who are now becoming more and more popular, and they are basically willing to work for food. And how many of these colonial mercenaries killed Britain, France and Russia will not feel distressed, it is nothing more than buying them some guns from China, so that these messy miscellaneous cards can kill each other with the monkeys in Indonesia, so that even the monkeys of Asan, Japan, Burma, and Malaysia can be cleaned up.

The more Emperor Yang thought about it, the more he felt that this was a very worthwhile project, it could be said that it would kill two birds with one stone, although this would set off another bloody storm in Asia, but for him, the life of stepping on skeletons and blood was happy, these monkeys did not die, how could Asia become the Asia of the Chinese, not to mention that it did not cost him at all, and it could even be operated into a new fortune project, so why not?
