Germanic Empire: please call me William III

“General André, Her Majesty the Queen has given orders for us to retake the gold mines stolen by the Germans. Next, it’s up to you. “Governor Alexander Frederick was very excited.
In his opinion, once the gold mine was recaptured and the entire gold mine was brought under the administration of the Dutch Spice Islands colony, then he would be able to gain a lot of profit from it.
Therefore, this time he jumped up and down, actively persuading the country to take a tough approach to the Germanic Empire.
“Your Excellency, Governor, I can only allocate two infantry regiments for the attack on the gold mines. However, it is difficult to say whether it will be successful. The situation would be much better if more reinforcements could be sent to the country. Major General Andrei’s brow furrowed tightly.
He did not think that the use of force with the Germanic Empire was the right choice. However, he was a soldier, and naturally he had to obey orders as his duty.
“Rest assured, General Andrei, reinforcements will be sent from home to support you.” Governor Alexander Frederick said.
“Admiral Konas, the Navy side must fully cooperate with the Army. Don’t destroy the port, though. In the future, the ore we mine from the gold mine will also need to be shipped out of the port. Governor Alexander Frederick admonished.
“Yes, Your Excellency, Governor.” Major General Konas nodded.
The Dutch Kingdom deployed a fleet in the Spice Islands, but it was not large, with only eight warships. The largest was an armored cruiser with a displacement of more than seven thousand tons. The rest were either protective or unprotected cruisers. With such strength, there is undoubtedly no problem in suppressing the indigenous people of the colonies. However, it was not enough to fight the Germanic navy.
“General Andrei, your troops are the same, and try not to destroy the facilities of the mines and the railways as much as possible. We want to receive the mine as intact as possible. In this way, when we have taken the mine, we can start mining. Governor Alexander Frederick said.
“All right, Your Excellency, Governor!” Major General Andrei answered.
Immediately, the Far East Fleet of the Dutch Kingdom Navy escorted more than a dozen merchant ships, leaving Batavia and heading straight for the island of New Guinea.
The Germanic Empire had long been monitoring the every move of the Dutch.
As soon as the Dutch army moved, the intelligence personnel immediately reported to the country by telegram.
When August heard the news, he immediately ordered the army to prepare. At the same time, an order was issued to the mine side, asking the mine’s mine protection team to be ready for battle. The Far East Fleet of the Germanic Navy was also ready to attack, killing the Far East Fleet of the Dutch and eliminating the Troops of the Dutch in one fell swoop. In addition, infantry stationed in Emperor Wilhelm’s territory and the Bismarck Islands were also preparing to board ships and reinforce the gold mines.
On the afternoon of 23 March, the army of the Spice Islands of the Dutch Kingdom, led by Major General Andrei, arrived at the port of Timuka.
The mines’ convoys were not deployed here, which allowed the Dutch to occupy the port almost bloodlessly.
Subsequently, the Far East Fleet of the Dutch Kingdom cruised in the nearby waters, and Rear Admiral Andrei led the army to rest for a night before beginning to attack the mines the next day.
However, Major General Andre did not realize that the mine protection team was ready for their way forward, waiting for them.
At the same time, the expeditionary fleet of the Germanic Imperial Navy was also approaching this area.
“General, the Germans are so hateful that he has stolen a lot of our gold mines over the years!” If there are these gold mines, then we don’t know how much we can increase our salary package. “On the panzer cruiser Batavia, a Naval officer of the Dutch Kingdom was very dissatisfied.
Major General Konas shook his head: “The Germans were able to find this gold mine, that is the luck of the Germans, and the strength of the Germans.” I heard that when the emperor of the Germanic Empire found this gold mine, he was only a teenager and was just an ordinary prince. Unexpectedly, the other party has now become the emperor of the Germanic Empire, and has become one of the most powerful people in the world. ”
“Ahem! Even if he was an emperor, he was a thief. Otherwise, the Germanic Empire would not have been so powerful. This time, we got the gold mine back, and they don’t have so much money to support them, and see how long they can still be arrogant. The officer snorted coldly.
Although the Germanic Empire was much more powerful than the Dutch Kingdom, these Dutch people were typical of asking for money and dying.
Their eyes, almost captivated by the glittering gold, will naturally behave very irrationally.
Unlike the officers, Major General Konas was a little worried.
He knew that the Germanic Empire would never give up the gold mines so easily. If the Lotus Blue Kingdom wants to retake the gold mine, it will not be so easy. If you don’t do it well, you will fight a vicious battle.
And whether their army can successfully retake the gold mine, Major General Konas is also skeptical.
Soon, however, Major General Konas had no heart to worry about the Dutch Kingdom Army. Because the Far East Fleet of the Germanic Empire Navy had already been killed.
“Whew!”
A terrible alarm sounded, and the naval soldiers of the Lotus Blue Kingdom rushed out of the various cabins and rushed to their posts.
Maj. Gen. Konas also came to the Commander’s Tower and searched the surface of the sea with his telescope.
His expression was very ugly when he saw the Heavy Cruiser Sagittarius of the Germanic Imperial Navy, as well as the light cruisers Overwatch and The Hunt.
The heavy cruiser Sagittarius was a constellation-class heavy cruiser of the Imperial Germanic Navy, with a displacement of 10,800 tons and three triple 210 mm guns.
Whether it is firepower or defense, or speed, it is far from being comparable to the old battleships such as the batavia armored cruiser.
Even the light cruisers ‘Watch’ and the light cruisers ‘Hunt’ were light cruisers with a displacement of more than 6,000 tons, which were definitely not comparable to the protective cruisers or unprotected cruisers of the Dutch Kingdom Expeditionary Fleet.
In this battle, the situation of the Far East Fleet of the Dutch Blue Kingdom will become very difficult!
“The Germans came, ordered the ships, and prepared for battle. For the benefit of the kingdom, for the sake of Her Majesty the Queen, the same Germanic people fought! Maj. Gen. Konas ordered.
“Yes, Your Excellency, General!” The officers and men of the Dutch Kingdom Expeditionary Fleet answered one after another.
In the face of strong enemies, they burst out with great courage. However, whether we can win the next battle is very difficult to say.
