"My lord, what if the Western Fleet breaks through the Java Isthmus in time? If we transfer the three fleets, the hinterland of the South China Sea will be empty......"

Tan Guilin asked in a deep voice.

Xu Yifan replied: "It doesn't matter, the Western Fleet wants to look for the traces of the Western Alliance Army all the way, and take the defeated troops of the Western Alliance Army to the sea, the speed is definitely not fast, they have just set off for five days, and now they are afraid that they have just traveled 1,500 miles, but from Dumai to the Java Isthmus, it is a journey of 3,000 miles, and we have deployed a large number of torpedoes on the Java Isthmus, and the Western Fleet wants to pass through the Java Isthmus safely, it is definitely not an easy thing, and the Portuguese fleet is in full swing, You can definitely catch up! ”

Tan Guilin is still a little worried, this is not the style of the minister, it is too dangerous, what if the fleet of the Western alliance forces passes through the Java Isthmus? This is not a joke, but something like the work of the Shepherd Supervisor......

"Brother Haotian, act immediately, urgently refurbish the damaged warships of the Portuguese fleet, allocate six heaven-class warships, eight ground-class warships, and twenty auxiliary warships, join the Portuguese fleet, and at the same time, draw capable forces from various warships to enter the Portuguese warships, half a day today, one day tomorrow, and set off on time at noon the day after tomorrow, success or failure can be done again!"

Xu Yifan said and walked behind him......

"Guilin, Haotian, look at it, now the Western coalition army has changed direction, this Strait of Malacca, basically there will be no more danger, we finally live up to the emperor's trust in us, this Western coalition army, hehe, the days will not last long......"

Xu Yifan came to the tall command room, and his fingers were gently swiped on the map.

Suddenly, Xu Yifan's fingers stopped, and his face was a little solemn.

"My lord, what's wrong?"

Tan Guilin saw Xu Yifan's face change, and asked in a low voice.

"Guilin, send an order to go down and gather all the merchant ships in the Strait of Malacca, gather the troops of the three towns of the Tianxiong Army, and assemble them all!"

Xu Yifan shouted.

"Great, sir, what's wrong? The troops of our first town, pursuing the defeated troops of the Western coalition, have not yet returned? How can we gather the troops of the three towns at this time? ”

Tan Guilin felt a little dazed, not knowing what Xu Yifan meant.

Xu Yifan shouted: "Then leave the troops of the first town on Sumatra Island, gather the troops of the second town and the third town on both sides of the Strait of Malacca, board the troop transport, and immediately go to Java Island!" On the defense map given to me by Yang Geng, I missed this place, Dala Bay, here is a natural harbor, the shallowest part of the sea is one or two zhang, now the Western coalition forces have taken away almost all the land forces, they can completely attack from Dala Bay to Java Island without passing through the Java Isthmus, the current strength on Java Island is only a few thousand, and they are all newly formed Nanyang garrison forces, how can they be the opponents of tens of thousands of Western coalition troops? If they land from the Bay of Dalawa and launch an attack in the direction of Batavia, I am afraid that it will not take a few days to be able to attack Batavia from the Bay of Dalawa in one go, Batavia is the largest city in the South Seas, and if Batavia falls, the loss of the empire will be great! ”

Xu Yifan was a little lucky in his heart, just now his fingers happened to be drawn to the area of Dara Bay, as if he was struck by lightning, and then he came to his senses, this is a loophole, a huge loophole, even if the Western coalition army is surrounded and annihilated, if the tens of thousands of troops of the Western coalition army are rampant on Java Island, it is enough for the Ming army to drink a pot!

Xu Yifan gave an order, and the entire Tianxiong army near Malacca all took action, and the second and third towns completed the assembly within two days and began to board the ships, as for the Portuguese fleet, it had already begun to set off, this time, for the sake of insurance, Zheng Haotian personally pressed the formation in the front, and the main force of the first fleet behind was handed over to Xu Yifan.

Xu Yifan had already given the order, and the two fleets began to rush from Borneo to the Strait of Malacca, intending to go west out of the Strait of Malacca and wait for an opportunity to fight a decisive battle with the Western fleet.

The three major fleets of the Ming Empire, there are also more than 400 large and small warships, but the auxiliary ships are still too small, super battleships, sky-class battleships and ground-class battleships combined, less than two hundred, if compared with the Western alliance fleet in its heyday, there is really a bit of a gap, after all, the volume can be compared with the main warships of the Western alliance, and there are only super battleships and sky-class battleships, and the volume of the ground-class battleships is not as good as the main Western battleships, in addition to holding the advantage of flower cannons and rockets, The Ming fleet has nothing to rely on in other aspects, after all, the fleet has too much time to develop, but it is only a few years.

If you want to really win the game in one fell swoop, then the Portuguese fleet that has crossed the sea and attacked alone this time is the biggest key!

If you can really kill the thirty main warships of the Western Combined Fleet in one go, then the Western Combined Fleet will really not occupy the initiative, the total tonnage of the fleet, the Western Fleet is not dominant, it is more morale, and it is far worse than the Ming army, as for the naval artillery, it is not to mention, the flowering artillery of the Ming army is more than one step stronger than the flowering artillery of the Western Ocean, the only advantage it has is the number of artillery, the number of artillery of the Western battleships is too huge, the battleship of the same tonnage, The number of artillery of Western warships is nearly 20% more than that of Ming warships, which is also the reason why Zhu Jie and Xu Yifan are unwilling to fight with the Western fleet!

The Western Fleet received Molde's defeated army and boarded the battleship, and began to rush all the way to the Java Isthmus, and came to the outer waters of the Java Isthmus, which has been twenty days, and now the Java Isthmus is already in sight, and it seems that the Ming army has no reaction at all. The riches of the Java Islands and the Daming coast are robbed of a clean one!

"General Troppe, now that we are less than a hundred miles from the Isthmus of Java, and further on, we will be on the island of Sebesi!"

The sentry came to Troppe's face and spoke to Troppe.

Trope's brows twitched, and he shouted in a deep voice: "Order, the army continues to advance, cross the island of Sebessi, go straight to the vicinity of Cilegon, bypass the island of Sanguion, cross the isthmus, and sail with all its strength towards the hinterland of the South Sea!" ”

At the sound of Troppe's order, more than 400 warships began to advance towards the depths of the Java Isthmus!

There are two more shifts in the evening!
