    On September 18, 1940, gun salutes and fireworks soared into the sky over Nanjing, the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties. The streets and alleys were crowded with people and the alleys were deserted. The whole city was filled with banners and slogans.  Amidst the fluttering flowers, the blue sky and the white sun, the red national flag all over the ground, and the loud slogans, the Nationalist Government has conquered Nanjing!

    At the same time, warships on the Java Sea in Southeast Asia were speeding and naval guns roared, and the Sino-Dutch Java Sea War began.

    Forced by the increasingly severe situation in the East Indies (i.e. the Indonesian Islands), the best of the Dutch navy came out in full force.  The Dutch warships surrounding the flagship "Surabaya" battlecruiser include the "Java" light cruiser, the "Sumatra" light cruiser, 4 "Pitthein" class destroyers, and 4 "Van Galen"  -class destroyers, 2 "Flores"-class frigates, as well as a large number of torpedo boats, gunboats and various types of submarines.  Before the war began, Commander-in-Chief Lieutenant General Friedrich Dullman knew very well that his fleet was no match for the Northeastern Army's Southeast Asia Task Force, both in terms of numbers and firepower.  Before the fleet sailed into the Java Sea from the Bay of Jakarta and the swimming naval port, Vice Admiral Durman repeatedly emphasized at the pre-war meeting: Each ship must not be reluctant to fight!  The fleet must focus on attacking the Northeast Army's material transport convoys and merchant ships traveling between Sumatra and Borneo from the mainland of Indochina, Taiwan, and Qiongwan. The purpose of the operation is to conduct maritime guerrilla warfare and strangle the Northeast Army's maritime supply lines.  Engage in a fatal naval decisive battle with the Northeastern Army's aircraft carrier fleet. During the raid, once the Northeastern Army's main fleet is discovered, the entire army will retreat immediately!  In a word, "fight when you see an opportunity, hit and run."

    After the combat order was issued, the Dutch East India Fleet weighed anchor and set off in batches, carefully sailing through the Karimo Java Islands and smoothly crossing into the Java Sea, preparing to pass through the Karimata Strait between Belitung Island and Borneo Island.  They detoured to the Badas Islands near the Badas Islands in the rear waters of the Northeastern Army, which was attacking Sumatra Island, and ambush the Northeastern Army's transport fleet and merchant ships.  During the fleet's voyage, Lieutenant General Durman strictly ordered the observation posts and seaplanes of each ship to search closely for the Northeastern Army's reconnaissance aircraft or coastal defense radars to prevent accidents.

    "Once exposed, we will be in too much danger!" The predicament of a disparity in strength with the opponent made Lieutenant General Dullman walk on thin ice.

    The reality gave Lieutenant General Friedrich Dullman and every Dutch naval soldier participating in the war a slight sigh of relief. The fleet neither discovered the Northeastern Army's seaplanes or reconnaissance aircraft, nor was it discovered by the Northeastern Army's shore-based radar unit.  , the army and navy of the Northeast Army seemed to be busy attacking Sumatra Island and Borneo with all their strength, without realizing that a powerful fleet had slipped behind them.  At 4 o'clock in the afternoon, the Dutch fleet entered the Sukadana waters smoothly.

    On the calm Java sea, the waves suddenly rolled and the waves rolled.  One after another, the miniature reconnaissance submarines, which were dormant on the seabed like pieces of black stones, motionless and allowed the Dutch naval fleet to pass safely over their heads, slowly rose to the surface. The Tomahawk emblem on the boats was washed away by the sea water.  Shining brightly in the sun.  The Northeast Army naval communications personnel in the submarine were tapping the cipher machine with their fingers, and a series of radio waves carrying the movements and coordinate data of the Dutch Navy flew one after another to the communications headquarters of the aircraft carrier "Victory" cruising in the waters of the Linga Islands.  Inside.

    In the bridge headquarters, Major General Dong Yanjie showed a smile of victory: "The snake has come out of its hole, and the hunter sets out."

    Under the banner of the flying Tomahawk Army, battleships, cruisers, destroyers, frigates, and submarines all turned around, cut through the waves, and rushed toward their respective targets.

    The setting sun gradually sets in the west, and the remaining clouds are like blood.  At 4:17 in the evening, the Dutch frigate "Sumba" and a water reconnaissance aircraft searching for enemy ships sent reports at almost the same time: a transport fleet from Northeast China was discovered fifteen nautical miles away in the sea ahead.  !  The seaplane report was more detailed: the fleet included two large oil tankers and six ordinary merchant ships, and was not escorted by warships. The fleet's speed was about 15 knots.

    On the battlecruiser "Surabaya", Lieutenant General Friedrich Dullmann was overjoyed after receiving the report, and immediately ordered: "All attacks! Fight quickly and destroy this fleet!"

    Amidst the screams of alarm bells and motors, the Dutch ships, which had long been angered by the Northeastern Army's aggressive expansion in their own colonies, immediately launched a battle formation and swooped in to surround them in a fan shape.  Turbid waves suddenly rose on the sea, and a strong chilling atmosphere quickly spread together with the smell of gunpowder.

    The Northeastern fleet quickly discovered the Dutch fleet that was rushing towards them with all their teeth and claws. Each ship quickly turned around and sailed at full speed towards the Pontianak harbor in northern Borneo, where the Northeastern Army's field airport and coastal defense torpedo gunboat units were stationed.  Keep them safe.  But after all, the speed of merchant ships is not 30 knots.The Dutch army and the Indonesian army entered the prisoner-of-war camp of the Northeastern Army. At the same time, the Northeastern Army also captured more than 150 aircraft and more than 100 small ships. On September 20, the Indonesian government announced its unconditional surrender and Indonesia was merged into China (Indonesia National General Assembly  It covers an area of ??about 1.9 million square kilometers and is composed of more than 13,000 islands; the country has a population of about 105 million, of which overseas Chinese account for 5%); that afternoon, a mechanized battalion of the 7th Infantry Brigade of the Northeast Army unceremoniously entered the country of East Timor  The capital city of Dili occupied this last small country in the Indonesian archipelago with an area of ??about 14,800 square kilometers and a population of just over 400,000.  At this point, the entire Southeast Asia, except for the Philippines and Singapore, has become Chinese territory.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
