Jakarta, 2 December 19o9 AD.

After the two-day "Rim of the Pacific Joint Military" ended on the 2nd of this month, the Little White Fleet, ahem, I mean the Chinese fleet, began its visit to Southeast Asia and the Indian Ocean region.

The purpose of China's participation in this joint military exercise is not only to conduct joint exercises with the US military, but also to brighten its muscles and boost national morale.

Among them, the most powerful are six battleships: the Suiren (formerly the U.S. E-I Indiana), the Youchao (the former U.S. E2, Massachusetts), the Houji (the former U.S. E-, Oregon), the Cangjie (the former U.S. E4, Iowa), and the Zhurong (the former British "Old Man Star") and the Gonggong (the former British "Giant").

It was followed by six heavy cruisers: Daiyun Mountain, Huanggang Mountain, Maoershan, Yuanbaoshan, Sipai Mountain, and Heavenly Mountain.

Daiyunshan and Huanggangshan, two Garibaldi-class armored cruisers of the former Italian Navy. The Maoershan (formerly the "Admiral Aube"), the Yuanbaoshan (formerly the "Comte"), and the Sipaishan (formerly the "Marseillaise"), all three of which were originally French-made Glorious-class armored cruisers. The Sierra de la Paradise is a French-made Joan of Arc-class armored cruiser. Because of the meaning of Mr. Wen, there is no establishment of "armored cruisers" in the Chinese Navy, and instead of "heavy cruisers".

Then there were eight protective cruisers: Liujiang, Yongjiang, Beijiang, Zijiang, Haiqi, Hairong, Haichou, Haichen.

Needless to say, the "Four Seas" ship is the capital ship of the former Beiyang Navy. After they surrendered with Yuan Shikai, they were reorganized by the People's Navy, and the officers and men on the original ship were persuaded to retire except for a few useful personnel.

The Liujiang is a French Navy "Guichamp" protection cruiser with a standard displacement of B15o tons and a maximum voyage of 2. 6 knots, the crew of 6o is equipped with a 丨6-mm main gun, U1丨14UMM secondary gun, 1o -pounder gun, 丨1-pounder gun, and two 46UMM torpedo launchers.

The Yongjiang is the original French "Fort Reynolds" protective cruiser, with a standard displacement of 7mm secondary guns, 1o - pounder guns, 丨 1 pounder gun.

The Beijiang and Zijiang are both former French "Destreme-class" protective cruisers, with a standard displacement of 6 tons and a maximum voyage of 2. 6 sections, capacity 2. Equipped with a 14umm main gun, a 1oumm secondary gun, an R1 pounder gun, and a 1-pounder gun.

The second is the two Bainbridge-class destroyers (formerly the US Navy DD1DD2), and finally the auxiliary fleet, which is mainly composed of coal carriers, E-mail to carry replacement personnel, and passenger ships that serve as hospitals.

This fleet of 3 warships and 13 auxiliary vessels, including 1o 10,000-ton warships, can be regarded as the largest and strongest ship formation in China's history.

In order to brighten their muscles and boost morale, the 45 ships are painted in a uniform paint that looks like a field of snow mixed with countless gold nuggets. It may seem to some people that the color combination of this "Little White Fleet" is very earthy buns, but it is undeniable that it is indeed very visually impactful.

After the exercise, the Chinese fleet left Manila in the Philippines and headed south, passing through the Sulu Sea, the Sulawesi Sea, crossing the Makassar Strait and entering the Java Sea, and then arriving in Jakarta to begin an official goodwill visit to the Dutch East Indies.

Well, this "friendly visit" is just a public statement, whether it's really "friendly" or not, it depends on the ass. At least in the eyes of the Netherlands, this is by no means "friendly".

When the Chinese fleet sailed to the Java Sea, this made the Dutch nervous, especially the Governor of the East Indies, to cry. The conscience of heaven and earth, my big Holland has only a few broken ships in the East Indies, and the largest is an old-fashioned protective cruiser with a displacement of less than 26 tons. You have 1o ships of 10,000 tons alone, and you say that this is a friendly visit, and you want me to believe it

"What's the matter with these Dutchmen, why haven't they answered?"

Vice Admiral Wang Tiehammer, commander of the navy, said impatiently. Yes, because this operation is of great significance, so the commander of the Navy personally led the team, and at this moment he was sitting on the flagship "Zhurong", and he was accompanied by the commander of the South China Sea Fleet, Vice Admiral Li.

"Commander, the Dutch have always bullied the weak and feared the hard, and now they must be scared of what to do......" Li Zhun said with a smile.

Major General Li Zhun is a demoted general, he is a native of Linshui County, Sichuan Province, born in a family of eunuchs, and his father Li Zhengyong is a jinshi, and the official is the minister of mining and commerce of Sichuan. Li Zhun's life trajectory is more similar to Zhao Erfeng, they are both novices in the imperial examination, and they all started by donating officials after repeated attempts, and they all joined the military from literature. Lao Zhao was appreciated by Xiliang before he started, while Li Zheng was appreciated by Zhang Zhidong and Cen Chunxuan.

In 186, Li Zhunshi was promoted to the Guangdong Money Bureau, and the following year, he was also promoted to the Haiphong Aftermath Bureau and the General Office of the Guangdong Provincial Finance Bureau. In 19 years, Wen entered the military and served as the commander of the Guangdong patrol battalion, and also patrolled the river divisions. In 19o3, he was awarded the title of Chief Soldier of Nanao Town. In the thirty-first year of Guangxu (19o5), he was promoted to the commander of the Guangdong Navy. After the Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army invaded Guangzhou last year, he surrendered with Xiliang.

In the history of the original time and space, because Li Zhun led his troops to suppress the revolutionary party uprising in Guangdong for a long time, he was hated by the revolutionary party to the core, and was assassinated many times, and was seriously injured twice. But he was more unlucky, because he was more progressive in thought, and the Qing court also suspected him of colluding with the revolutionary party. is really not a person inside and outside, so later he moved closer to the revolutionary party.

During his tenure as Admiral of Guangdong, Lao Li led ships to inspect the Dongsha Islands and the Xisha Islands, establishing China's sovereignty over the two islands. In order to commemorate his exploits, the Nansha Islands in later generations will be a "Li Zhun Beach". His "Illustrated Description of the National Defense Fortress of the Guangdong Naval Division" became an important document used by the Chinese government in later generations to prove its sovereignty over Dongsha and Xisha islands.

Even in the timeline of the original plane, he did not have time to inspect the Xisha Islands, but in the spring of 196, he drove away the Japanese who occupied Dongsha Island, recovered Dongsha Island, and also inspected Dongsha Island, and set up inscriptions on several major islands.

Because of these exploits, coupled with his own ability, he was quickly absorbed into the revolutionary army and became a "liberation fighter". After nine months of political study and professional training, he was appointed commander of the South China Sea Fleet of the People's Navy in July this year. In this "RIMPAC military exercise", he was Wang Tiezhu's deputy and was in charge of the first cruiser formation.

Jakarta, Dutch Governor's Palace

"Damn Chinese bastards, why did they go to the East Indies?" the Governor of the East Indies was anxious like ants on a hot pan, and walked around the room.

After the arrival of the Chinese fleet, everyone's spirit was very nervous. You know, the hundreds of cannons have been aimed at Jakarta, although according to the Chinese side's explanation, this is to prepare for the release of salutes. But if you really believe this, you would be a fool. Nima, do you need to use the main guns of battleships to put the salute?

The Governor's Palace is right next to the port, and the Governor's office has a great view, and His Excellency can see the white expanse outside the port as soon as he looks up...... Nima, it's not a snowfield, it's a bunch of warships with hundreds of black holes and holes in their muzzles just facing the Governor's Palace, you say that His Excellency the Governor can calm down That's a strange thing.

"Governor, why don't you let them in first...... his secretary said cautiously.

The Governor was furious at once: "Bastard, what if they come and don't leave?

The secretary pouted and thought: "If you don't want them to enter the port, they won't enter the port?" If these Chinese get angry and break in directly, will you be able to stop them at that time?" Several Dutch warships have long been hiding far away, and they dare not stop them at all. Well, they themselves claim to be spying on the Chinese fleet. Well, if it's twenty or thirty kilometers away, it's surveillance.

At this time, a colonel hurriedly ran in and said, "Governor, the Chinese are talking again." They said that if we didn't answer after half an hour, they thought we had acquiesced in that they had come in......"

"Won't you refuse their demands, just say that our harbor is too small," said the Governor, huffing.

The Colonel smiled bitterly, "No, Governor. Again, as they had done the previous times, they pretended not to hear anything they had refused to hear......"

"What should I do, what should I do? These Chinese must have bad intentions, no, the East Indies belong to our Kingdom of the Netherlands, and cannot be handed over to them......" The Governor's little face turned white, and the more he thought about it, the more frightened he became.

"Your Excellency the Governor, Your Excellency the Governor......" A civil official ran in with a happy face.

When the Governor saw that it was the officer he had sent to contact the British, he suddenly came to his senses, and as if he had grasped a life-saving straw, he grabbed the civil official by the shoulder, and asked in a loud voice: "What do the British say? What do they say?"

"Your Excellency the Governor, the British......" The civil official swallowed and said, "...... The British said they had contacted the Chinese Foreign Ministry to ask them about it. Neijiang assured that they were only visiting WÈN and that they had no ill will towards our country. The British reassured us that with them, there would be no adverse actions Chinese......"

"Great, God bless Holland hahahaha......" The governor breathed a sigh of relief and collapsed in his chair at once.

"Governor, the Chinese outside are urging ...... again," the Colonel reminded.

The Governor was about to say no, but the civil officer said: "Your Excellency, the British have said that their security guarantee is based on our unfriendly behavior towards Chinese, and if it is a contradiction caused by our own unfriendly behavior, they will leave it alone......"

"Bastards these cunning Britons, they're still duplexed," the Governor stomped his foot in anger. The British are too flexible in what they say, and it is not up to them to explain what is meant by "unfriendly behavior". However, the Chinese fleet was not allowed to enter the port, and in any case it could not be said to be "friendly". At that time, the British can say with a heartfelt voice, people and Chinese come all the way to ask friendly questions, but you Dutch let people eat closed-door, even if they smoke you, you deserve it.

Maybe in another period, Niu Niu will not be so undisciplined, after all, the Netherlands is an important partner of the United Kingdom. But now the situation in Europe is extremely tense, and Niu Niu does not want to spend too much effort in the Far East, and the Chinese have not provoked them anyway. And now China's fangs have been shown, and now China is not the weakened China under the rule of the Manchus and Beiyang, which is very capable of fighting. Niu Niu will fight hard for the Dutch colony and such an open opponent.

As for the Netherlands, heck, you can bear with it for the time being, anyway, the East Indies are also your colonies, not the mainland, and it is nothing to suffer a loss. At most, when we clean up Erdezi, we'll help you out. Niu Niu is such an idea.

The governor stayed for a while, his face changed and changed, and then he said dejectedly: "Hey, tell the Chinese, they can enter the port, but they must obey the order......
