"Won't sit idly by?"

Cohen glared at Kluivert and shouted, "What do you know? Don't say that Davis has many contradictions with us in the South Seas, even if he is an ally without the slightest filth, at a critical moment, it is also self-preservation, the current Ming fleet, even the fleet of our East India Company is not an opponent, Davis's fleet can stop the Ming fleet? Joke! At most, they are standing next to them waving their flags and shouting, sending a fleet to contain the Ming fleet, and let them go to war directly, it is simply impossible, Davis is not so stupid, once the Spanish fleet is destroyed by the Ming army, we will take Luzon as soon as possible, he will definitely judge like this, I will definitely do this, it involves major interests, not the time to talk about feelings! ”

Kluivert stopped talking, and according to the Governor's words, Yizhou is already in danger now......

"Soria, what do you think we should do now?"

Soria said in a deep voice: "Lord Governor, it's very simple, even if the three kingdoms join forces, we are not sure of victory, after all, we, England and Luzon, the bases of the three are far apart, Luzon is more than three thousand miles away from us, and England is also more than three thousand miles away from us. Besides, the biggest reliance of the Ming army is not the fleet, but their invincible army, once the landing operation, even if the three join forces, it is definitely not the opponent of the Tianxiong army, the 60,000 troops are killed from the sea of corpses and blood, most of the armies of our three countries are mercenaries, the combat power is average, and they belong to different camps, how to fight? ”

Cohen's heart sank, Soria said yes, the army is not anyone's opponent!

"Soria, since our combat strength is inferior to our opponents, let's use our forces to suppress them, isn't it the 60,000 Heavenly Male Army? We will greatly expand our army, and immediately send people to Siam and Malaya, borrow troops from these two countries, and in a month, I will ask for 100,000 troops, take out all the muskets and artillery in our arsenal, and equip the troops, one mercenary, and the governor will pay ten eagles, and the salaries and military expenses of the other 100,000 troops will be calculated separately, and we will bear all of them! ”

Cohen is not ambiguous, knowing that at the critical moment, he must be willing to spend money, he must spend money, with the territory, how much silver can be earned back, once he loses the control of Batavia and is driven out of the South Seas, the annual income of nearly 10 million taels of silver in the trade between Daming and Dongying will all be lost, which is more important, Cohen can still weigh it out.

Soria nodded and said, "Your Excellency the Governor, I'll go down and make arrangements, but that's not the point, the focus now is on the Spaniards and Luzon!" ”

"Why?"

Cohen asked, a little stunned.

Soria said in a deep voice: "Lord Governor, it is obvious that the alliance of the three kingdoms may not be the opponent of others, if the Spaniards are allowed to resist the attack of the Ming fleet alone, do you think Davis will be able to hold the Luzon Islands?" ”

Cohen shook his head and replied: "Don't talk about Davis, even if we Dutch face the Ming Empire alone this time, we will definitely not be the opponent of others, the strength of the Ming Empire is developing too fast, unless we send the main fleet from the Netherlands, then we can compete with the Ming Empire!" ”

"That's it!"

Soria replied: "Your Excellency the Governor, since this is the case, then we cannot watch the Spaniards annihilate and lose Luzon, if the Spaniards are defeated, we are weak in Batavia, and it will be even more difficult to compete with the Ming fleet, so we must keep the Spaniards and use the strength of Davis to join forces to resist the enemy!" ”

Cohen was shocked, nodded and said: "Yes, once the Ming fleet takes Yizhou, it will definitely send troops to Luzon, now Luzon Island is our first line of defense, as long as Luzon Island is kept, the Ming army will not dare to go straight to attack Batavia, Soria, immediately gather our fleet, ready to send troops to help Luzon, do not seek to defeat the enemy in a battle, just need to drag the Ming army, I think, it won't take too long, England's fleet will arrive, and then, that is the time for our Ming Empire to fight down!" ”

Westerners are not stupid, Shi Kefa wants to attack from afar, and Cohen and Soria also see the hidden danger in it, at this time, they must work together, once the internal rebellion, then the Western countries will be unlucky......

While Cohen sent people to Siam and Malaya to ask for help from the two countries, he sent Soria to help Luzon.

Mobilize the entire fleet to Luzon to meet an unknown big war, Soria does not dare to be careless, now the East India Company has more than 200 large and small warships, except for a few warships left to watch the house, the rest of the warships are all pulled out, not only that, the battleships carry a large number of firearms and ammunition, expeditions of thousands of miles, the rear baggage supply is difficult, Soria is in the battle formation, it is impossible to act rashly.

Nearly 200 warships departed from Batavia and rushed directly to Luzon to aid Davis.

At this time, Davis has returned to Luzon from Yizhou, Davis, who returned safely, is now afraid of it, fortunately he didn't fight, fortunately he ran fast, once he was entangled by the Ming fleet, he would definitely lose, he was carrying all the belongings of Luzon this time, once defeated, it was 100% of the time Luzon changed hands, whether it was the Ming Empire or the East India Company, it would definitely not be kind enough to keep people in Spain to accept Luzon.

Returning to Luzon, Davis began a comprehensive deployment, at all costs, to rectify the defense, it was too dangerous, it only took eight days to attack Yizhou, what about attacking Luzon? How about even three months? From the time the fleet of the mainland of the country in the west of the country got the news to the time it rushed to the Luzon Islands, I am afraid that it will take more than half a year to arrive at the earliest, where can it support such a long time? Now you can only rely on yourself, no, maybe the Dutch, and the best thing to do now is to huddle together to keep warm!

Davis faintly regretted the alliance of the four countries, now the four countries are guarding one side, thousands of miles apart, the news is inconvenient, especially the English, far away in the Indian Peninsula, from Luzon Island is only nearly 10,000 miles, even if the fleet is in full force, four hundred miles a day, it will take a month to be able to reach Luzon, fatal, a month's time, anything can happen, not to mention that the English have not even gotten the news of the Ming Empire's move!

Shrimp, this time shrimp, Yizhou fell, Luzon Island turned out to be the forefront, and he bore the brunt!
