In a small boat, Fan Yize took Li Daolin's uncle and nephew to board the flagship of the temporary fleet, the 101 battleship.

For the junior warship, Fan Yize did not choose a special name, nor did he have a special class, and when he appeared in the painting 101, he used it as the name of the warship.

The same is true for other warships, this is not to say that Fan Yize is too lazy to think about it, but in his opinion, these warships will soon be eliminated, and now the Red Guard Corps has no record of any achievements, no occupation zone, and it makes no sense to take a name or something.

Some of the officers on the battleship, led by the captain, wore white naval uniforms to welcome the arrival of the commander and guests.

Fan Yize plans to deal with Li Yishan tonight, and he also plans to let his uncle and nephew feel the strength of the Red Police Navy.

Originally, Fan Yize also planned to let the two of them take a good look at the battleship, and it seemed that there was no need to see the two of them like grandma entering the Grand View Garden.

The fourteen-inch cannon, reaching an astonishing fifty-five times the caliber barrel, was too strong for the two of them.

Dreadnought first-class battleship, strictly speaking, is a preliminary type of super-dreadnought, the maximum cruise can be maintained at twenty-five knots, and the ultimate speed can reach twenty-eight knots, although there are only four twin-mounted guns in the front and two in the rear, compared with the twin-mounted turrets of various dreadnoughts in various countries with five or six or even seven or eight seats, although the number of guns is less, but the firepower intensity has not decreased at all.

The rate of fire, the accuracy of the gun's aiming radar, and the direction and angle at which fire can be poured at the same time, this front-two-rear-two-turret layout is no less dense than those multi-turret dreadnoughts.

Moreover, the current Britain only has the concept of dreadnoughts, and it will not be until next year's Battle of Tsushima that dreadnoughts will be really launched.

This battleship with a displacement of 27,000 tons is already an invincible existence in this era, and the former dreadnought battleships of various countries at this stage cannot threaten this battleship at all.

Not to mention the weak chickens of the Royal Netherlands Navy.

In fact, the Netherlands has never been taken into account by Fan Yize.

After the Franco-Prussian War more than 30 years ago, Europe once again experienced a large-scale change of territorial borders, and the actors competing for the center of power also changed a lot. The Netherlands, because of their small size, weak strength and poor position, could only be victims, so they stuck to abstention.

The abstaining foreign policy has always maintained a posture of "standing aside" and carefully maintaining strict neutrality.

The military conflict between the British colonizers and the Boers (descendants of the Dutch colonists) in South Africa in these years was just one of the episodes.

After the death of King Willem III of the Netherlands ten years ago, the Netherlands ended the history of male hereditary thrones, and also ended the "personal union" between the king and Luxembourg, and Queen Wilhelmina, who was only 10 years old, succeeded to the throne.

From that time on, the international status of the Netherlands was almost completely forgotten, after all, a country that had been neutral for a long time and had always given up its opinions would inevitably end up on the periphery.

Consistent with the "forgotten" international identity of the Netherlands, the Royal Netherlands Army was astonishingly weak throughout the second half of the 19th century.

Due to the disappointing performance of this force in the nine-year Belgian War, the Dutch government reduced the size of the army to a minimum.

Their view was that a small group of officers and non-commissioned officers should be retained as the backbone, and that a large number of soldiers could be recruited on an ad hoc basis at the outbreak of war. As for the colonies scattered around the world, the government simply handed over the responsibility of armed colonization to the merchants, except for some indigenous colonial armies commanded by Dutch officers in strongholds such as the East Indies. Until now, the Dutch Army was an amateur force.

Compared to the weak "amateur" army, the Dutch navy is a much more efficient armed force. With the task of protecting the distant East Indies and the Surinamese colonies of the West Indies, they were more likely to obtain budget approval from the government.

After entering the age of steam, although the Dutch navy did not return to Germany? The splendor of the Ruyt era, but still built a "premium" practical fleet.

So far, the Dutch Navy has a total of 10,000 sailors, three 3,500-ton coastal defense battleships (3 210mm guns), five 5,000-ton coastal defense battleships (2 240mm guns) and six modern 3,800-ton "Dutch" class protective cruisers.

However, all of them are warships with a long service life, and it is still unknown whether these old warships will be able to restore the glory of the Netherlands.

At least in Fan Yize's eyes, the royal fleet of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, an unarmed colony, is very suitable, but if it is put on the naval level, it is a war scum.

Not to mention the strong force of the Red Guard Regiment Navy at the moment, this fleet is all in Europe, and it can't set off much storm.

And the last glory of this navy is to guard the colony and become the last scepter of the kingdom.

In the Dutch East Indies, the Royal Dutch Navy had four warships stationed on permanent basis, and between the colonies, there were also two warships patrolling back and forth.

Of the fourteen warships, the Royal Dutch Navy had 12 ships defending the colonies, and the main combat forces were all concentrated in the colonies.

Therefore, as long as the Dutch military power in the colonies was destroyed, the war would be over, and the Dutch would not be able to regain control of the colonies.

At this time, the Netherlands was not close to the diplomacy of European countries, and the Netherlands was always recuperating, and the country's industrialization process was interrupted and restarted, and it has not yet been completely completed.

And due to the high debt of the previous war, the Dutch did not have any money for the war at all.

For this reason, what Fan Yize really has to guard against is that other countries take advantage of the fire to rob, the Dutch East Indies are in the hands of the Dutch, and European countries will not do well, after all, everyone's relations are good and bad, and the interests are complicated, so there is no need to provoke a war.

But if there are foreign forces interfering, other countries will not be able to say well.

Especially now Germany, trade with the Netherlands is close, one-third of Germany's trade economy is in the Netherlands, as a major maritime trading country, the Netherlands Rotterdam is now the busiest port in Europe, Germany many imported materials, are obtained through the Dutch trade channels.

Coupled with the ambitions of the German imperial family, the country's confidence is high, and the desire to acquire more colonies may lead to the intervention of the German imperial family.

This is a factor that Fan Yize has to consider, but it is only a factor.

If it were in Europe, Fan Yize would be careful of Germany, but in Southeast Asia, whether Germany will come or not is another matter, and even if it comes, how many waves can it set off?
