"Here they are, my lord." The commander of the Dutch garrison whispered to the governor. In the distance, water and sky meet, and a cloud of black smoke rises from the horizon.

"The Qing fleet was divided into two columns, two ironclad ships sailing on the outside near our batteries, and two dominary cruisers sailing on the non-belligerent side. They're ready to fight at any time. A naval officer next to him put down his binoculars and said uneasily.

"As long as the Kingdom of the Netherlands has a second-class ironclad ship in Batavia, I will definitely not let the Beiyang Fleet be so arrogant." thought of it, even the Qing Dynasty, which had been repeatedly defeated in previous wars with Britain and France, dared to show off its might in front of him. The Governor's pride has been greatly damaged, but the somewhat arrogant Governor may have forgotten that the Netherlands is not the Netherlands it was when he was a coachman on the European seas. Especially in the Far East, thousands of miles away, it is not something that this small lowland country can run amok. Although the Qing Dynasty is not good. But at least there is still the tiger skin of the Beiyang Fleet, what does the Netherlands have?

The four warships of the Beiyang Naval Division quickly sailed to the port area in two columns. "Signal. Prepare to enter the port. Ding Ruchang said with a pun. This sentence has two meanings, one is to enter the port, and the other is to prepare for battle! The bore is filled with salute shells, and on the side is a flowering shell!! And the crew on the surface has also been reduced to a minimum. The artillery also turned slightly at an angle.

"The Dutch don't mean to do anything." Seeing that the cannon on the turret did not even take off the gun jacket, Lang Weili said.

"I agree with the meaning of the teachings of Lang Weili, Lord Ding, please look at the crowd on the shore." Liu Buyun pouted and said.

"The Dutch had no intention of using force. But in order for our next move to proceed smoothly, this deterrence is still necessary. Xu Jie said on the side.

"You mean the evacuation? The Dutch have relented, is it still necessary? Ding Ruchang asked curiously.

"Some overseas Chinese still plan to return to China, and Lord Liu also said that they can accept it and make proper arrangements. In that case, it's okay to take them with you. I have already told Master Zhang that after the land division landed, he would protect the overseas Chinese on board. Xu Jie said.

"If this is the evacuation of overseas Chinese, the personnel of the Lu Division will be dispersed, and once something happens, I am afraid that they will be caught off guard, right?" Ding Ruchang said.

"In advance, overseas Chinese had already gathered in a few places close to the landing site. Our personnel will not be too dispersed, and the army is armed with Maxin machine guns and Grimm guns, the problem will not be great. As long as the Dutch regular army does not intervene, the local natives alone have nothing to fear, but they don't know if the Beiyang Fleet can suppress the Dutch turrets and army artillery. Xu Jie glanced at Ding Ruchang and said.

"There should be no problem, and in addition to the 12-inch guns of the 2 ships in Dingzhen, the effective range of the 210MM Krupp guns of the two ships is about 8300 meters, (from the "Beiyang Navy Ship Chronicles" Of course, it needs to be noted that in naval battles, because both sides are high-speed moving warships, the general effective range is only 3KM, but this is not the case when hitting land fixed targets.) Enough to cover all the barracks, fortresses and government offices in Batavia. HOWEVER, EVEN THE 75MM GUNS OF THE DUTCH LAND DIVISION ARE VERY SCARCE, AND THEY DO NOT POSE A THREAT TO OUR BATTLESHIPS. Liu Buyun said confidently.

"That's good, I hope it won't be the time for the soldiers to meet." Xu Jie said with a sigh of relief.

1 hour later, the Beiyang Fleet entered the berth. Ding Ruchang, Lang Weili, the two leaders of the Beiyang Fleet, and Xu Jie, a cameo diplomat, walked down the gangway to meet the Dutch governor and others who came to greet them, while Liu Buchan, Deng Shichang and others stayed on the battleship just in case.

"Dear Mr. Ding, welcome the Qing Beiyang Navy Master to visit Wèn in Batavia." The Dutch governor said insincerely.

"Hello, Dear Mr. Governor. It is a great honor for you to be able to greet the officers and men of the Beiyang Fleet in person. Ding Ruchang snorted and said. (Lao Ding can speak English)...,

"In addition to visiting Wèn, I have an important task to visit, and I hope that the Governor can assist me. I am grateful to the whole Beiyang. Just when the Dutch governor breathed a sigh of relief, Ding Ruchang's next sentence made the Dutch governor raise his heart to his throat.

"If it's within my reach. Naturally, I will give some help. The Dutch governor said with some humility.

"Recently, the local aborigines in your jurisdiction have made some unfriendly moves towards our Chinese, so in accordance with the order of our government and the request of overseas Chinese in Nanyang, we will carry out an evacuation operation in Batavia, and I hope that Your Excellency can give some help." Ding Ruchang said.

"Well, we've stopped the unfriendly behavior of the local natives. This evacuation is not necessary, right? What's more, due to the constraints of port conditions, the port of Batavia has limited capacity for personnel and cargo, and even if it is to be carried out, it may be difficult for the industry. "The Dutch governor really didn't expect that these Chinese would choose to leave, and they would leave under the protection of the Beiyang Fleet. In the original plan of the Dutch, the so-called street sweeping was also an open smashing and looting. But the Dutch also didn't want to wipe out the Chinese, who actually controlled the economic lifeline of the region. However, this kind of evacuation of overseas Chinese in Beiyang is undoubtedly a direct uprooting of the economic foundation of the Batavia region!!

"It doesn't matter, as long as the Governor agrees, we can carry out the evacuation plan in some small ports." Lang Weili, who had been obsessed, spoke.

"Absolutely not, you are plundering the population and wealth of the Dutch colonies!!" The Dutch governor said in a loud voice, and the Dutchman, who had been holding back, finally couldn't bear it anymore.

"That means you're going to hinder our country's evacuation operations?" Ding Ruchang said with a calm face. As if in line with what Ding Ruchang said, the gunners on the 4th ship of Dingzhen Zhijing took off their gun jackets one after another, and the 305 main guns, 210 main guns and 150 auxiliary guns also began to aim at the distant batteries.

"Your Excellency the Governor, if you choose to fight, you must be held accountable for your words and actions!! Because of your lack of cooperation, we have hindered our evacuation of overseas Chinese. And this is the legitimate right and reasonable demand of our country. Any consequences arising therefrom will be borne by you. Lang Weili said in a fierce voice.

"If the Governor refuses to cooperate, I hope you will sign this statement." Xu Jie handed a statement to the governor.

"I refuse to sign." Seeing the content of the statement, the Dutch governor's face turned white, and the content of the statement was very clear that the Beiyang Fleet wanted to protect the evacuation of overseas Chinese, but the Dutch authorities did not agree. You can't sign this kind of statement anyway!!

"Then you just agree?" Xu Jie smiled weirdly.

"Well, I'm just saying that this needs to be carefully planned." The Dutch governor had no choice but to change his rhetoric.

"In other words, now the Governor has agreed in principle to the evacuation of the Beiyang Fleet?" Luang Weili said with a sneer. Speaking, without waiting for the Dutch to reply, a direct look, a herald immediately ran back and fired a flare. Subsequently, the transport ships waiting outside the port began to sail to the various scheduled ports.
