1890 King of Southeast Asia

The history of the future should be recorded like this.

On October 27, 1890, the Battle of Surabaya began. The enemy naval squadron had a total of ten warships with a total tonnage of more than 20,000 tons. Under our army's careful plan, they were deceived into Surabaya Port. After several hours of fierce fighting, our navy's three warships cooperated with the coastal artillery to sink three enemy warships, burn three ships, and capture four ships. The Dutch naval colonial squadron was completely annihilated, and more than 4,000 people including two Dutch governors were captured. After this battle, Holland's senior officials in Java were caught in one fell swoop, and the Netherlands fell from strategic initiative to strategic passivity...

On October 28, Surabaya Port.

The South China Navy is using tugboats to tow the four captured warships into the dock to try to repair them.

The four ships were two 1,750-ton shallow-water heavy gunboats and two frigates. The two shallow-water heavy gunboats were not seriously damaged, with half of the superstructure destroyed and more than 20 shells of various types hitting the hull, which made the ship tattered, but the core was not damaged. The navy was going to renovate it and use it as it was.

The two frigates were in a miserable state. Henriques's ship Batavia, which served as the flagship for several hours, was hit by concentrated fire when it rushed to the port, and was almost turned into a sieve. There were seven holes at the waterline and more than 50 shells above the deck. At that time, it was almost a torch on the sea.

Even so, it did not sink. This was due to the picric acid charge. In the cases of direct sinking, both smoothbore guns and new cannons were large-caliber guns. Liu Yiming loaded these large-caliber guns with Dana explosives. The Krupp gun was okay, at least the probability of duds was not high. The 180-pound front-loading smoothbore gun had only one explosion out of three hits. In the captured ship, the 180-pound shells were still in the cabin.

Another frigate of the same class had only minor damage to the waterline and was hit by more than 20 rounds of format ammunition. The appearance looked good. However, it was hit by two 203 shells, and the transmission shaft and keel were damaged to varying degrees. It was not as worth repairing as the Batavia.

The decision of the shipyard was to dismantle it. It was impossible to repair it. Not to mention whether it was expensive or not, it could not be repaired with the shipyard's technology and personnel. Even if it was placed in the UK, it would have to be dismantled, and there would be hidden injuries after repair.

In fact, the South China Navy should have captured seven ships, but after three ships were taken over by the South China Army, the extremely unskilled South China Navy failed to control the fire. For safety reasons, Liu Yiming ordered to abandon these three ships.

The Navy made a final effort and hit the three ships hard at the waterline to make them sink. They were ready to salvage and dismantle them after they had freed up their hands to see if they could dismantle something useful. There was no way, the Navy was poor!

October 28, Surabaya, South China Army Headquarters.

Today, the South China Army Headquarters welcomed two special guests - two governors of the Dutch East Indies.

Liu Yiming and the main officials of the South China Government personally entertained them.

In the conference room.

"What do you want to do?" The new governor asked when he was brought in.

Pinak curled his lips and didn't say anything. They had roughly understood the situation in one day. Things were not what they thought. This time it was an organized rebellion by the Chinese, not an ambitious person in the Netherlands. This situation was even more unacceptable.

"Let me introduce myself first. I am the chairman of the South China Council, Chen Jiangtao." Chen Jiangtao got a signal from Liu Yiming before the meeting. He played the good cop and Liu Yiming played the bad cop.

"This is the commander of the South China Army, Liu Yiming..." Chen Jiangtao briefly introduced the South China senior officials present.

"I called you two here today to discuss surrender." Chen Jiangtao said.

"But we have already surrendered!" said the new governor.

"Oh! Sorry I didn't make it clear. I meant that one of you should issue the surrender order." Chen Jiangtao added.

"Who to issue it to? Batavia? We are already prisoners. Batavia will not obey the orders of the captured governor!" Pinak rushed to say before the new governor.

"How do you know if you don't try it? In order to reduce casualties on both sides, I think we need to have a friendly conversation." Chen Jiangtao said.

"You are just a rebel armed force. Even if you are lucky enough to capture us, the Netherlands will send more troops, new governors, new warships, what is there to talk about?" said the new governor.

"That's not the way to say it. You and I both know that the Kingdom of the Netherlands, as a permanent neutral country, does not have many troops on its homeland, and the troops on this land are scattered across various islands."

"It takes time to assemble troops. Whether it is dispatched from Europe or assembled from colonies, it will take two months." Chen Jiangtao said.

"Since you know this, why rebel? It only takes two months for the Kingdom of the Netherlands to assemble an army of 20,000 people. Can you stop it?"

"I'm not good at military affairs. Let our commander talk to you!" Chen Jiangtao pointed at Liu Yiming and said.

Liu Yiming put down his hand that was picking his nails, cleared his throat, and said.

"You two, Mr. Governor, I think I need to understand first, do you understand military affairs?" Liu Yiming said stiffly.

The new governor is a politician and is not good at military affairs. Pinak said that he had 20 years of service experience before becoming the governor.

"Since someone understands it, it's easy to explain it to you. In this way, I don't have to explain it to you."

"How many warships does the Dutch Navy have? My information is more than 40,000 tons." This is the information Liu Yiming got through Charles.

"Now in Surabaya Port, there are about 20,000 tons. Badavia remains. Except for two 3,500 tons of heavy frigates, there are no commendable warships. Three are still the shallow water of the old tooth loss. How many armored ships in the 1960s, do they still run? "Liu Yiming said with all the two hundred -ton cannon boats of the South China Navy.

"Even if you lose more than 10,000 tons, even if the entire Netherlands adds only 10,000 tons, it is not your pocket fleet that can resist. You just take advantage of the sneak attack. Instead, you can move the shore to fight the gun to fight! "The new governor said.

"Don't worry, dear Governor? Is this this tone?" Liu Yiming fell in love with this feeling of pretending.

"It is undeniable that the current South China Navy is so weak that it can't hold a wave, but South China is not mainly based on the navy." Liu Yiming took out a map.

"Governor Pinak, you understand military, look at this map, this is my map."

Pinak took the map. The mark of the Dutch on the map was still very eye -catching. At a glance, he knew that the last owner was a Dutch. He also loved it. There was no ancient trace of use.

Unfortunately, now it is full of various notes.

"Put away this set, I don't believe in your trick." Pinak first watched the map twice, and then said the map on the table.

"Oh? Governor Pinak doesn't believe that we have so many people?" Liu Yiming said.

"No, I believe you have so many people, but I don't believe you have so many soldiers! I haven't experienced training, and it is impossible to break the castle at all!" Pinak said.

"But the fact is here, isn't it? Oh, forgot, I'll find it." Liu Yiming found a piece of paper in the headquarters.

"Find it! Translate to the Governor of the Governor, what do you write on it."

"Our ministry has captured the map class, the news has been blocked, the first team's advance team, October 23rd."

"What can this prove?" Pinak stunned in his heart, a little unpredictable, but he said hard. "This kind of telegram can make a bunch of casual."

"Well, since you don't believe it, you don't need to show you these war reports, but the combat effectiveness of your troops really dare not compliment!" Liu Yiming said easily, and put the forged war report back to the table.

"It doesn't matter, Tu Ban is a port city. Our ship has gone there. Soon, I will give you some companions."

"I want to protest, you abuse the captives!" The new governor said.

"The rice can be eaten randomly, and I can't talk nonsense. How can I abuse the captive? Evidence?" Liu Yiming glanced at it and said.

"The Dutch captured by Surabaya, including the Dutch civilians, has been forced to accept pig -like foods. Without medical care, no vegetables and meat, do you want to starve to death and death?" The new governor said indignantly.

"First, that's not pig food. We provide corn and rice for free. Many people in the world eat this.

Second, we have not disconnected the supply of materials in the Dutch settlement area. There are several shops at the junction. Previously, it was temporarily stopped because of the impact of the war, but it will continue to open soon. The vegetables and meats you want are all in it.

Third, medical care, as far as I know, I have not detained Dutch doctors. I did not stop the doctors who were willing to enter the settlement in the hospital! "

"Sorry for supply? You should check your logistics. Half of the rice in the rice is the shell of the grain. As for your supply store, one kilogram of fish is two pounds, one kilogram of vegetables, one pound, one The pound can only be bought for a day of bread, why don't you grab it!

"Then what do you think I am doing? The biggest shareholders of those stores are me!" Liu Yiming said indifferently.

The new governor was stunned and couldn't speak ...

"What about your doctor? Your store does not sell medicines. Many Dutch people are tortured because there is no medicine. I hope you can sell some medicines." Pinak said with a black face.

"Drugs? I didn't receive any requests to increase drugs. You mean opium? Sorry, all the opium in South China is military management items," Liu Yiming was still a little bit stubborn just now. Then I thought of opium supply.

"But the Dutch who lost the medicine is painful, and you have the responsibility to provide these." The new Governor said.

"Opium has been used as other purposes. There is no opium in the hands of the South China government. South China also eliminates opium sale. We cannot provide this." Liu Yiming spread his hands. Seated a few tons of opium, all of which were made into morphine and provided them to the army and hospital.

"Isn't it possible to buy it?" Pinak said. Pinak's nephew came with the boat, and he was addicted to the bed, and he was now tied to bed.

"There is no special reason. First, it is the regulation of South China forbidden to buy and sell. We have no import channels. A little impatient, how do you spend time on this issue?

"Well, when you return to the topic, your suggestions on the living area can be submitted to the government in writing. The government will consider your suggestions. Now, we will continue to talk about the problem of surrender." Liu Yiming said.

"We have surrendered to you. How can one person surrender twice?" Pinak said: "Order Batavia to surrender? I don't have such great power."

"Okay, let's put this topic aside for now. In order to welcome the two governors, I have prepared an event. Please move." Liu Yiming said.

…………

Government officials, the remaining senior officials of the army, plus the two governors and some senior officials of the Dutch East India government, took thirty ox carts. Why do you say they took ox carts? Horses, mules and donkeys all support the troops. This ox was pulled out from the farmland for part-time work.

The convoy slowly passed the industrial area. Pinak and the new governor were in one car.

Pinak looked at the chimneys in the industrial area with thick smoke, busy workers, and orderly vehicles. Passing by the steel mill, he just saw a furnace of steel that had been refined and was being transported.

His face became darker and darker, and finally he sighed and said to the new governor.

"Old man, we were wrong, completely wrong. They already have a certain industrial base. Damn it, what on earth are the Sishui defenders doing!" Pinak was a little crazy.

The new governor stuck his head out and looked at the factories and the endless factory buildings. (Actually, they were simple warehouses)

"Damn Chinese!" The new governor said fiercely. His political future has been ruined.

"Quiet, old man, let's see what they are doing. It's still the same. You have to pretend to be impulsive." Pinak said.

"I know, but these Chinese are too hateful. I must hang them all on the dock!"

On the other side, Liu Yiming was also chatting with Chen Jiangtao.

"Yiming, will this work? I don't think they will give in. Why don't you just torture them? It's not impossible to even pretend to be them and send a telegram!" Chen Jiangtao didn't understand why Liu Yiming made such a fuss.

"Uncle Chen, if I am caught, will you surrender?" Liu Yiming asked.

Chen Jiangtao figured it out at once, but he didn't understand what Liu Yiming was up to.

"What's the point of asking them to surrender?"

"Batavia, their orders will not make Batavia surrender, but will make Amsterdam panic and make unwise choices, which is more conducive to the implementation of our plan." Liu Yiming said.

Chen Jiangtao still didn't quite understand, this involves the field of international politics and military.

"We are old and can only look after your home. We can't even understand these things, let alone do them." Chen Jiangtao was easy to talk about.

Just as they were talking, they arrived at their destination...
