Just when the Spaniards and the Dutch were urgently preparing for war, in a huge manor, a group of soldiers from the Ming Dynasty had already gathered - a special operations battalion!

Deng Xiong from his own special operations camp, carefully selected in addition to a hundred strong, with Zhang Chu returned to Batavia, now there are still many Ming merchants on the island of Java, although these Ming merchants because of the tension between the Ming and the Dutch, life is not easy, but, after all, these people are rich businessmen, the so-called money can make the ghost grind, take the silver to open the way, there is no uneven thing, the rich merchants of the Ming Dynasty to and from Java Island are still endless, however, Batavia is more severe, The Dutch strictly inspected the merchant ships coming to Batavia in the port of Batavia, and seized them immediately if they found Ming merchants with weapons or identities.

Zhang Chu also had to take the soldiers of the special operations battalion to make a detour to Semarang before landing, and took 100 brothers to a large manor in Batavia, which was the stronghold of the Ministry of Intelligence in Java, and the Intelligence Division invested 100,000 taels of silver to buy the entire manor, and took root in the local area in the name of dealing in bananas, pineapples and other fruits.

The entire manor has a radius of more than fifteen miles, not to mention hiding a hundred people, even if it is hiding a thousand people, it is not inconspicuous.

"Boss, how are we going to fight this battle?"

Vice Captain Gao Han asked.

"What war?"

Deng Xiong didn't have a good breath and said, "This is called a decapitation operation, a decapitation operation, it was named by the emperor himself, we are not here to fight, we have only one goal, to kill the heads of Spain and the Dutch, this is the real army of millions to take the head of the general!" ”

"Hey, chief, what do you say! It's the first time we've dared to do something like this, and it's exciting to think about it, once we kill that Cohen or Davis, then we'll be famous! ”

Gao Han said with a smile.

Deng Xiong shook his head and replied, "Davis? Not interested, he's just a dog under the fence, useless; As for Cohen, he is only a governor, no different from our political envoys, who can only play with the pen and kill him, and it is not of much use; My target is not Cohen and Davis, but the two fleet commanders in Batavia, Soria and Montella! Once these two people are killed, then we have completed the task, without these two generals, the two fleets are headless flies, can only run around, our Ming fleet wants to annihilate the two fleets in one fell swoop, it is as easy as a snap! ”

Zhang Chu frowned and replied: "Deng Xiong, it's not so easy to kill the two of them, after all, most of the time, the two of them sail with the fleet, and rarely appear in public, I think it's more realistic to find a way to kill Cohen, as long as Cohen is killed, then the Dutch will be leaderless, and the Java Islands and Borneo will fall into chaos!" ”

Deng Xiong replied: "No, we must kill the commanders of the two fleets, only if they are killed, we can be sure enough to defeat the two fleets, and then the army will land on the island of Java, otherwise, with the blocking of the two fleets, we will not even be able to complete the landing, and the Java Islands and Borneo are in chaos, and it is useless!" ”

"Okay, I'll send people out to listen to the news in many ways, on the island of Java, there are not a few Westerners who have been bought by us now, and along with the local natives, there are also a lot of people who are secretly sold by us, so let's get the information first!"

Zhang Chu said helplessly, collecting intelligence, the people in their intelligence department are good, but when it comes to war, Zhang Chu is too far behind Deng Xiong, Deng Xiong's judgment is good, whether it is Soria or Montello, they are both famous naval veterans for a long time, and they have rich experience in naval warfare, in comparison, Zheng Haotian and Yang Geng are one layer behind, after all, one of the two has never fought much in naval warfare, and the other is the fire dragon tactics that he has always been good at, and the giant ship tactics have never been contacted, even if he was trained by Zhu Jie in the military academy for a period of time, In actual combat, the two of them are still a lot inferior, which is why Zhu Jie came to Nanyang in person.

With Soria and Montello all cleaned up, and there is no veteran general in charge, then the next naval battle will be much easier, as long as the Tianxiong army completes the landing on Java Island, with the strong strength of the Tianxiong army, defeat the 100,000 miscellaneous army, it is a sure thing.

"By the way, Lao Zhang, how is the military deployment of the Dutch on Java Island and the combat strength of the army?"

Deng Xiong asked.

Zhang Chu said in a deep voice: "The intelligence has been collected one after another, Cohen spent a lot of money, borrowed 80,000 troops from Siam and other countries in one go, plus his own 40,000 or 50,000 troops, the number is really a lot, most of the elite forces of the Dutch are deployed in Batavia, and there are 40,000 troops, concentrated in the area of Semarang, Batavia and Semarang are the two largest ports on the island of Java, and at the same time the deployment of batteries, it is not so easy to complete the landing; However, although the 120,000 troops are strong, the combat power is really very average, the Dutch are strong, but the real Dutch do not exceed 20,000, the rest are locally recruited mercenaries, and the combat power is limited, as for the troops borrowed from Siam and other countries, most of them are broadswords and spears, and they are still in the primitive era, even if these people have firearms in their hands, they will not use them, even so, there are still tens of thousands of people who are not equipped with firearms......"

Deng Xiong smiled: "How is it?" What do you think? I'll just say, these armies are just paper tigers, and it's not enough to kill people or scare people, and the only threat to us is the fleet of the Dutch and Spaniards. If we break off two of the sharpest teeth of both fleets, they'll have to wait to be swallowed by us! Lao Zhang, the emperor has not left us much time, at most ten days, the Ming fleet will come to Batavia, within ten days, we must look for an opportunity to kill Soria or Montello, and clear the way for the Ming fleet to encircle and annihilate the two fleets of the Netherlands and Spain! ”

Zhang Chu gritted his teeth and replied: "Okay, the intelligence matter is handed over to me, seven days, give me seven days, I will definitely be able to find a chance to start!" ”

Gao Han on the side suddenly said: "Boss, why don't we give him a snake to lure the snake out of the hole?" Make something happen, in this case, whether it is Cohen or the two fleet commanders, they will show up, as long as they show up, then our chance will naturally come, we have a hundred people, only need two or three people close to them, we can directly shoot them, in terms of our brother's marksmanship, within a hundred steps, a sneak attack, almost no bullets! ”
