As soon as Su Manwei's words came out, the herald officer was speechless, Su Manwell frowned and thought for a while, and then said: "Send someone to find the British immediately and explain this matter." The herald officer agreed and took his leave.

At this time, on the sea, the Sovereign-class battleship Determination has sunk into the sea, the two cruisers are trying to rescue the sailors who have fallen into the water, Lin Fei has sunk the ghost shark boat into the sea, the water depth in this area is more than 100 meters, with the underwater detection technology of this era, no one can find a submarine in the dark and deep seabed.

Lin Fei succeeded in "destroying the corpse and destroying the traces", and said to Liu Daming with a smile: "Now is the time to comfort the British, order the fleet to turn around, and go to the wreck site." ”

Liu Daming laughed and agreed, the Tianlong ship and the Yunlong ship immediately sailed towards the two British cruisers, Lin Fei saw that the distance was almost there, so Liu Daming used the blue bird machine to contact the Watcher, Liu Daming picked up the microphone and said: "The Watchman, I am the Tianlong ship of the Huaxia Empire, please answer if you receive it." ”

"I'm the Watcher, please speak up."

"We heard the explosions, so we withdrew to avoid being attacked by the Dutch, and now that the situation is stable, we are only now returning, do you need help?"

"Our existing forces are fully capable of carrying out rescue operations, and we do not need the assistance of your fleet."

"Is Mr. Claros alright? We would like to talk to him in detail. ”

"Our envoy is not bad, if your majesty wishes to talk to your envoy in detail, please follow us to the No. 1 temporary berth." Britain, as the world's largest naval power and the strongest hegemon in the South Seas, naturally will not anchor in Pontianak Port forever, so they have found several temporary anchorages, and the No. 1 anchorage is located 20 nautical miles south of Pontianak Port.

Lin Fei and Claros had already known the location of the British temporary anchorage in the previous negotiations, and now they heard the British mention that they were going to the temporary anchorage, and readily agreed, and two hours later, the four warships stopped at the No. 1 temporary berth, and Lin Fei got off the ship with the sniper team escort and met Claros.

The temporary mooring place was an inaccessible wasteland, there were no buildings, Lin Fei and Claros could only sit on the stones facing each other, which made Lin Fei feel a burst of amusement, the fate of the Dutch and the British was actually decided on such a wasteland.

Lin Fei first asked, "The Determination ship should have been hit by a Dutch torpedo, right?" ”

Claros's expression wandered, and he replied: "It is now certain that the Resolve was torpedoed, but it is not certain that it was torpedoed by the Dutch. ”

Lin Fei smiled bitterly, "Didn't you get hit by a Dutch torpedo?" Could it have been hit by our torpedoes? ”

Claros didn't speak, but the captain of the Determination who was standing on the side spoke, "The Determination was hit by a torpedo on the starboard side, and the battleships of the Huaxia Empire were on our side behind the port side, and it is impossible for the torpedoes they send to hit our starboard side." ”

Lin Fei nodded and said, "That's right, unless our torpedo will turn, it is impossible for it to hit the Determination ship, before the Determination ship was hit, the Dutch torpedo boats had been cruising nearby, and the torpedo must have been fired by them." ”

It is impossible for the two Dragon-class cruisers to launch torpedoes at the position, and the British don't know about submarines, and the torpedoes can obviously only be fired by the Dutch, under the inducement of Lin Fei, the British believe that the torpedoes were fired by the Dutch, but Claros still frowned, and said in surprise: "But why did the Dutch fire torpedoes at us?" Don't they know what we're capable of? ”

Lin Fei shrugged his shoulders helplessly, and said: "They think that we have your support for using force, so they decided to attack you, to deter you, so that you dare not support us anymore, using a torpedo sneak attack can not only inflict heavy damage on you, but also let them stay out of the matter, they will never admit to launching a torpedo, and only your country will suffer a dumb loss at that time." ”

Claroz's face was blue with anger, and the captain of the determined ship was so angry that his eyes were on fire, and at this moment, a commotion came from the four battleships, and Claros hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?" ”

An officer ran up to him and said, "Report to the envoy, the Dutch torpedo boat is here again." ”

Lin Fei sneered and said, "The Dutch still dare to come? Mr. Claros, I can help you sink it without your country's hands. ”

Claros hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No, the Dutch are definitely not here to fight, they should have come to talk and bring their leading officers over." ”

Lin Fei said with a smile: "Mr. Claros, I bet with you, the Dutch must have come to deny this matter, and they will definitely say that this matter has nothing to do with them, and they did not launch a torpedo at all." ”

Claros nodded slightly, but did not speak, at this moment, the dinghy docked on the beach, a team of Dutch people walked down from above, Lin Fei smiled when he saw the group, it turned out that the officer who was the leader was the Dutch captain who was punched away by him.

The Dutch captain came to Claros, raised his hand and saluted, and said: "I am the special envoy of the Governor-General, John Shandak, the Governor has heard that your warship has been attacked by an unknown enemy, and has specially ordered me to come to you and invite you to stay in Pontianak Harbor. ”

Lin Fei snorted disdainfully, "I'm right, right?" The Dutch will certainly not admit it..."

Shandak was punched by Lin Fei, holding a grudge, and when he heard Lin Fei fanning the flames on the side, he was furious, pointing at Lin Fei's nose and scolding: "Bastard, I think the thing was done by your Huaxia Yellow Pig." ”

Lin Fei was victorious, and he didn't laugh angrily, "If you Dutch want to find a scapegoat, you also need to find a reliable one, the Determination ship was hit on the starboard side, we were on the port side of the Determination ship at the time, and we were not close to the Determination ship, will our torpedo turn around?" ”

It is impossible for a torpedo of this era to turn, even if it is a torpedo of Lin Fei's era, it can't turn a hundred and eighty degree turn, Lin Fei smiled proudly after speaking, and Claros said in a cold voice: "Captain Shandack, this matter is no longer allowed for you not to admit it, I will go to meet Governor Sumanville now, I hope he can give me a reasonable explanation." ”

When Shandak heard that the British had decided that they had fired the torpedo, he immediately panicked and said, "This matter really has nothing to do with our Kingdom of the Netherlands..."

Claros had a gloomy face and said: "Don't say these useless words, we are two big countries, not two five-year-old children, we will all analyze the facts and draw conclusions, and now the only conclusion is...... Your torpedo boats of the Kingdom of the Netherlands fired torpedoes and sank our battleship. ”

Shandak was about to speak again, but Claros waved him to stop him, "Now take me to Governor Sumanville, I hope he will handle this matter to my satisfaction." ”

Chandak had no choice but to return to Pontianak with Claros and two British warships, and Lin Fei of course followed on the side, at this time the main conflict in Pontianak had become Britain and the Netherlands, and Lin Fei was no longer as concerned as before, and because of this, Lin Fei was able to attend the meeting between Claros and Sumanville.

Lin Fei sat on the side of the venue with a smile on his face, looking at Sumanville and Claros...... These two pieces in their hands fight.

Sumanwell began by saying: "Mr. Claros, I regret the sinking of the Resolution, but I will never admit that it was the work of the Kingdom of the Netherlands. ”

Claros said angrily: "There are only you, us and the Huaxia Empire on the scene, it is impossible for the Huaxia Empire to launch a torpedo, could it be that the torpedo was launched by ourselves?" Also, your torpedo boat was on our starboard side before the incident, in the direction of the torpedo attack, how do you explain this? ”

Sumanwell was speechless, he couldn't say that their torpedo boat didn't fire torpedoes, because there was no evidence, and it was useless to say it, Sumanwell asked with a cold face: "Then what is your country's plan now?" In other words, how are you going to solve this problem? ”

Claros replied: "I have just received an order from the Governor of Singapore from the British Consulate in Guò Pontianak, who asks your country, first, to hand over all the crews of the ships that fired the torpedoes to be judged by our British Empire; second, to compensate for the loss of the Determination Ship; Thirdly, the Government of the Kingdom of the Netherlands publicly apologizes to us, the British Empire..."

These three conditions, each of which is like a sharp knife, cut on the dignity of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, hearing Lin Fei desperately endure laughter, hearing that the flesh on Su Manweil's face trembled vigorously, Su Manwell asked in a deep voice: "Compensation for a loss?" How much do you want? ”

Claros palmed his hand and stretched out five fingers, "At least five million pounds." ”

Sumanwell was furious and shouted, "Five million pounds? Are you kidding me? The British Empire's fiscal revenue for the whole year is only 100 million pounds, and a warship is worth one-twentieth of the fiscal revenue? ”

Claros didn't budge, "Mr. Sumanville, do you think you're sinking just a warship?" Tell you, no, along with the warship were seventy-six of the finest officers and sailors of the British Empire, and with the dignity of our empire, five million pounds is already the lowest price..."

Su Manwell slapped the table heavily and said angrily: "Mr. Claros, I can see that this matter was concocted by you at all, the purpose is to find a way to annex our Dutch East Indies, you have coveted our territory for more than a day or two, you can come, we are not afraid..."
