"Hell! It's the Java Sea! How did those yellow-skinned monkeys appear here? Claire, the captain of the battleship 'Alc', exclaimed! The sudden appearance of the Xinhua Navy made them instantly turn from hunters to prey!

"Sir! What do we do now? The three 'Shark-class' warships, with only one of our Tier 5 and one Tier 6, are no match for them at all! A junior officer asked. After Xinhua's defeat of Spain, the strength of Xinhua's navy also spread. The Xinhua Navy's warship, which is very perverted in terms of speed and range of naval guns, has made all countries attach great importance to it. For the most part, the Shark-class cruisers will be the nemesis of the naval warships of Western countries. I can't reach it, I can't catch up with it, and I'm always in a passive state of being beaten, which will undoubtedly make people feel aggrieved and crazy!

"Stop attacking the merchant ships of the Xinhua Kingdom!" Major Claire ordered. In fact, his order was completely superfluous. After the appearance of the three 'Shark-class' cruisers of the Xinhua Navy, the Dutch Navy involuntarily stopped attacking. Attacking the merchant ships of the Xinhua State under the nose of the Xinhua Navy. Isn't this a blatant provocation of the new country? What's the difference between this and looking for death?

"Sir! The navy of Xinhuaguo is speeding towards us! Otherwise, let's run away! When they get closer, we can't run even if we want to! A junior officer suggested. Information obtained by the Dutch Navy. Each of the new warships of the Xinhua Navy is capable of defeating a Western third-class battleship. The three 'Shark-class' cruisers are simply not something that these two battleships of theirs can handle.

Major Claire's face was cloudy, and he originally thought that the merchant ships chasing Xinhua this time were a beautiful difference, and they could get a lot of oil and water. However, I didn't expect that this time I would hit the iron plate directly. In the eyes of the Dutch, Xinhua is not a good type. They were able to beat even the Spaniards. I don't think the Dutch will be taken seriously!

"Order the 'Holder' to return to ship immediately, return to Surabaya, and report to the fleet command! We will stay and negotiate with the navy of Xinhuaguo! All this is just a misunderstanding! If we hadn't returned to Surabaya. Let the Doge's Mansion find a way to save us, or avenge us! Claire ordered. The three 'Shark-class' cruisers of the Xinhua Navy are completely beyond the range of strength they can resist. If you continue to be tough, you may only invite destruction. The only way. Probably just explain. Misconceptions cleared up. Of course, they also have to stay behind, in case the Xinhua Navy wants to kill them all, there will also be people who will go back to report the news. The battleship 'Held' is a sixth-class battleship with a small displacement and faster speed, and may be able to escape from the pursuit of Xinhua.

"Sir! Why do we want to stay? "Doubts were raised. In the propaganda of the Spaniards, Xinhua has completely become a devil who does all kinds of evil. Many Dutch were afraid to face the navy of the new Chinese state.

"The Alker is slow. Even if we want to escape, can we escape? We've got to buy time for the Holder! Other than that. Maybe we can explain it to the yellow-skinned monkeys. Anyway, we didn't cause them any substantial damage! Claire had a glimmer of hope in her heart, hoping that these Xinhua Navy were not unreasonable people and could explain it clearly. In this case, we may be able to resolve this crisis!

After receiving the order from Major Claire, the battleship 'Holder' immediately turned around and sailed quickly in the direction of Surabaya. The 'Alker', on the other hand, continued to sail northeastward. It's just that they never attacked the merchant ships of Xinhua again!

"Boss, those foreign devils have run away! We are saved! The captain of the merchant ship exclaimed!

"Ha Lu Ha! That is, the navy of the kingdom has come! Do those foreign devils still dare to show off their might? The fat businessman's face was about to burst into laughter.

The appearance of three 'Shark-class' cruisers of the Second Fleet of the Xinhua Navy completely changed the fate of the fat businessman and his party. If it weren't for the timely appearance of the Xinhua Navy, they would definitely have suffered heavy losses once they were caught up by the Dutch Navy. If you don't do it, you will lose your life. In the vast sea, even if the Dutch navy killed them, no one would know what to do.

"Commander! One Dutch battleship is speeding up to escape, the other is slowing down, what should we do? On the No. 21 battleship, an officer asked Lu Haipeng for instructions.

"It's a sixth-tier battleship, and it's not much slower than our 'Shark-class' cruisers! Let the 25th battleship go after it! It's best if you can catch up, forget it if you can't! Lu Haipeng ordered. The sixth-tier warships of the Western Navy also have an advantage in speed, although they are not as good as the 'Shark-class' cruisers of Xinhua, but it is not easy for the 'Shark-class' cruisers to catch up!

On the sea, the 'Shark-class' cruiser with a board number of 25 began to pursue the fleeing 'Held' battleship, and the other two 'Shark-class' cruisers pressed towards the 'Alker' cruiser. The guns on both battleships, aimed at the battleship 'Alke', and as soon as they came into range, they would open fire. Generally speaking, in order to ensure their own safety, the 'Shark-class' cruisers of the Xinhua Navy will not approach the enemy's warships. After all, the Western Navy has a large number of warship guns, and if they were in their range or the like, it might only take one salvo to inflict heavy damage on the 'Shark-class' cruisers. Therefore, staying at a safe distance of 2,500 meters is undoubtedly the most appropriate!

"Sir! A 'Shark-class' battleship is on its way to catch up with the Holder! The signal corpsman reported to Major Clare.

"God bless the battleship 'Holder'!" Major Claire could only pray to God that the battleship Hyuld would be able to escape the pursuit of the Xinhua Navy.

"Send a flag to those yellow-skinned monkeys! This is the Java Sea, the Dutch Navy's power range, and we are on a mission to ask them to get out of this area! Major Claire said.

"Yes, sir!"

The flag bearer of the battleship "Alke" began to issue flags and communicate with the Xinhua Navy.

"Humph! Ask those foreign devils why they attacked our merchant ships and give us a reasonable explanation. Otherwise, we'll send them to the bottom of the ocean to feed the fish! Lu Haipeng ordered.

The Dutch Navy explained that the Xinhua merchants had committed a crime in Surabaya and that they had come to hunt down the Xinhua merchants. However, this explanation did not satisfy Lu Haipeng. When they arrived, they saw two Dutch warships besieging the merchant ships of the Xinhua Kingdom. If they hadn't arrived in time, the merchant ship of the Xinhua Kingdom would have been sunk.

After some exchanges, the two sides could not reach a consensus at all. At this time, the distance between the two sides has been shortened to about four kilometers!

"Let those Dutchmen lower their sails! The artillery is all back! And let their commanders come and explain it to us! Lu Haipeng commanded domineeringly. In the face of a Dutchman's fifth-class warship, the two 'Shark-class' cruisers of the Xinhua Navy had the upper hand.

Lu Haipeng's order made the Dutch of the battleship "Alke" fry.

"Sir! What are we going to do? Those yellow-skinned monkeys tell us to lower our sails or sink us! ”

"Damn! They are so arrogant! This is a provocation against the Dutch Navy! Major Claire said through gritted teeth. If the sails of the sail are lowered, the ship will lose speed and fall into the point of being slaughtered by others. Returning the artillery to the cabin means contacting the armament and stopping resistance. Generally speaking, it is only required when the battleship surrenders. For the request of the Xinhua Navy, Major Claire could not agree. Otherwise, even if the crisis is contacted, once he returns to Batavia, the Dutch Navy's East India Fleet will definitely not spare him. Because such an approach is detrimental to the honor of the Dutch Navy!

After a few minutes, the battleship 'Alker' did not react. Lu Haipeng, commander of the Second Fleet of the Xinhua Navy, gave the order to attack!

The No. 21 and No. 23 battleships of the Second Fleet of the Xinhua Navy began their attack at a distance of three thousand meters from the battleship "Alke".

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! "Four 105-mm naval guns in the bow and stern of battleship No. 21, four 75-mm naval guns on the starboard side, firing at the same time! The huge kinetic energy generated by the burning of gunpowder smashed the cannonball into the battleship 'Alke'. The shells fell into the sea to the left of the battleship 'Alke', splashing up columns of water.

After the 21st battleship opened fire, the 23rd battleship followed closely behind and launched a fierce attack on the battleship "Alke"!

"Oh God! Do they really dare to open fire? Aren't they afraid of causing a war between Xinhua and the Netherlands? Are these guys crazy? Major Claire couldn't believe what was happening before him. Originally, he thought that now that the Spaniards were pressing the border, Xinhua would not dare to provoke other powers at this time. But now, the warships of the new country have brazenly launched an attack on them.

"Sir! What are we going to do? The artillery fire of the Xinhua Navy is too fierce! ”

"Fight back! Fight back now! Guys, the war has begun! We will defend the glory of the Dutch Navy to the death! Fight for glory! Major Claire ordered. Now that the battle has begun, he has no other way to retreat but to fight to the death. Of course, Major Claire also knew that with only one fifth-class battleship, it was impossible to compete with the two 'Shark-class' cruisers of Xinhua. The end result, most likely, is that their battleship was sunk! (To be continued......)
