Chapter 430: The Dutch Did It Happen?
The sudden interruption of the radio signal in the command center of the green paint area made the three captains of the "Dreadnought II" class destroyer 650, the "Duke" class frigate F-85 and the "Brandenburg" class frigate F217 not know for a while.
Where am I? Who's beating me? Where's my teammates? The three captains had solved a half-and-a-half of these three puzzles that plagued many newcomers to the game, and after a brief communication with the Green Paint Command Center, they were able to find at least two friendly warships. As for who is fighting me, it does not exist, and with their firepower they can destroy the existence of a fleet in a single move.
While trying to find a way to contact the command center of the Green Paint Zone, the rough embryos on the three warships tinkered with nautical instruments for a while, and finally figured out that their current location was near the Strait of Malacca.
"Have you made contact with the Green Paint Zone Command Center?" Yang Guang asked the communication soldier.
"Yes, the signal I received just now was also enhanced by me, I estimate that our current position is quite far from the green paint area, and it may be possible to restore contact with the command center of the green paint area at night." The Signal Soldier replied.
"Far away? How far is that? Yang Guang continued to ask.
"It has to be at least 4,000 kilometers, just a little more." Said the communications officer.
In fact, it is precisely because the short-wave skywave transmission is affected by solar radiation during the day, resulting in intermittent communication, that Lu Xiaobei's radio station also chose to turn on at night to contact the green paint area. Therefore, although these three warships are very close to Lu Xiaobei and they can be contacted by short-wave ground-wave transmission or long-wave ground-wave transmission, because the radio station of the expeditionary force is not turned on, Lu Xiaobei and they do not know that reinforcements are close at hand.
During this time, Lu Xiaobei and their lives were not very comfortable, and the Chinese who had originally gathered in East Wanlu for refuge had already begun to go to various places in West Borneo with the victory of Liang Luyi and Luo Yibo's armed forces. But recently the Dutch had taken the lead in John Bull's way, and the calm warfare outside of the Eastern Law suddenly became fierce again. In order to prevent the local Chinese from being slaughtered by the natives and the mercenaries of the East India Company, Lu Xiaobei gathered them near East Wanlu again.
The Republic of Lanfang has been in a turbulent situation for several years, and agricultural production has been greatly impacted, and now there are so many Chinese gathered in Dongwanlu, which has invisibly brought great pressure to the logistics of the expeditionary force.
The recent expeditionary forces had been supplied by Jews who had been with them in Batavia as Americans, but the Dutch had set limits on the purchase of coal by all non-Dutch ships, and those Jewish merchant ships that went to Batavia to buy supplies could only have enough coal to buy at a time.
Affected by the poor supply of coal, the cruiser "Zhenyuan" has been lying in the waters near East Wanlu for a long time. The Chinese gathered in East Manlu were also disturbed by the fact that the ironclad cruiser had not been out to sea for a long time, and rumors spread that the Dutch had blockaded the waters near West Borneo.
"Miss Lu, I want to ask you for something." Chen Sanniang knelt down to Lu Xiaobeixing as she spoke.
"Hurry up! Our Great Song Dynasty is not interested in this, you can say anything directly. Lu Xiaobei said and picked up Chen Sanniang.
"Miss Lu, just in case, I mean in case, in case those natives and Dutch call back, please be sure to take my family Dong'er out of Dongwanlu, even if it is to Batavia and give it away, he is the only incense of our Guo family." Thinking of blocking her husbands who killed the red-eyed natives for herself, Chen Sanniang couldn't help but cry like rain.
"Sanniang, even if the Dutch and the natives return to Dongwanlu, they will come as the following people, and there will never be any more natives and foreigners massacring us Huaxia here." Lu Xiaobei said while helping Chen Sanniang wipe her tears.
In fact, Lu Xiaobei also had no bottom on what she had just said, although the Provisional Executive Committee thought that she had told her about the plan to hoard crude oil by the Crossing People, but she was worried that they would not be able to wait for the time when BB63 would finish packing up and go south.
Hey, if you really can't resist, you can only use those things in the bottom bilge of the "Zhenyuan" ship, but that thing is Pandora's box, once it is opened, the consequences are really unimaginable, the power of that thing is much greater than chlorine, Lu Xiaobei thought to himself.
In fact, if it weren't for Jin Peng's use of chlorine to kill and injure a large number of natives, I'm afraid that Liang Luyi and Luo Yibo's subordinates would just be in a stalemate now. These militants, who have no formal military training, can barely cope with the fighting, and once they are at a disadvantage, there is no guarantee that they will not collapse.
"On our way back from Batavia, we encountered two Dutch warships, and they followed us all the way until we saw the 'Zhenyuan' before leaving. The Dutch warships hadn't been seen in the waters around here for months, and I don't think it was a good sign that they were following us this time, and if the fleet of the Great Song Royal Navy didn't come to our aid, we would have to consider a plan to withdraw from West Borneo. Sokoya, a Jew, said.
The fleet of the Great Song Royal Navy? I also want to have a fleet to support us, but the Great Song Empire is just Li Sahu's rough embryo casually breaking around, and the only battleship that can really fight with the unicorn flag is BB63, where can I find you the fleet of the Great Song Royal Navy!? Lu Xiaobei complained in his heart.
"Are you sure it's a Dutch warship, it can't be an armed ship of the Dutch East India Company?" Lu Xiaobei asked Sokaya.
"Director Lu, although I have no experience in the military, I can still tell the difference between a warship and an armed merchant ship, and the two ships flying the Dutch flag are both ironclad ships with a tonnage of about 4,000 tons." Sokoya said.
"Rub, it's really Nima who was fooled and lame by the British, and actually drove this 4,000-ton small miscellaneous fish to demonstrate in front of us!" Jin Peng said.
"With all due respect, even if our 'Zhenyuan' ship has enough coal, there is nothing it can do with this kind of fast-moving 'little miscellaneous fish'. Replacing the shells produced in the Great Song Dynasty could not change the fact that the rate of fire of those German-made naval guns was too low. Sokoya said.
Boom, just as Lu Xiaobei Jinpeng was discussing the Dutch's intention to suddenly send warships to resume patrolling the nearby waters, the sound of artillery was heard in the harbor not far from the headquarters of the expeditionary force. Judging from the sound, it should have been fired by the "Zhenyuan" ship anchored outside the harbor, and the small-caliber infantry guns of the indigenous troops and the Jewish troops could not make such a big move.
"Spicy next door, are the Dutch going to do it?" Jin Peng scolded.
Lu Xiaobei frowned when he heard the sound of artillery, the "Zhenyuan" ship in the battle of Dadonggou was still inferior to those warships equipped with fast guns in the state of movement, in case the Dutch really launched an attack on the "Zhenyuan" ship parked outside the harbor now, it would be difficult to defeat the Dutch through the crew that was much inferior to the training of the Beiyang Naval Division. If those things placed in the bottom compartment of the "Zhenyuan" ship sink to the bottom of the sea with the ship, then she won't even have anything to save her life in the end, so how can she survive until BB63 goes south!?
