¡¾Chapter 822¡¿The Fourth Fleet of the White Army Navy!
(0822)
In Nanyang, only the Spanish are the opponents of the Dutch. Full text, no ads. No one else can make the Dutch feel stressed. Those crazy British pirates are also focusing on the Atlantic region for the time being. In order to compete for maritime hegemony, the competition between the Dutch and Spain was very fierce. If Dutch pirates encountered the Spanish navy, the result would be predictable. The Spanish would not miss this opportunity to weaken the Dutch navy.
However, Esco felt no pressure at all. Now, he urgently needs a fierce battle to vent his excess energy. From a long-term perspective, a great victory will have endless benefits for his future life. If he wins this battle, he can break away from the pirates and officially become a senior leader of the Dutch Navy. A naval squadron with the rank of rear admiral will definitely not be able to escape.
Esko¡¯s confidence is based on the sufficient strength of the pirate fleet. The pirate fleet he led was equipped with a total of five warships with a displacement of 500 tons and ten warships with a displacement of 400 tons. The total tonnage of all battleships combined was over six thousand five hundred tons. This is definitely super powerful for a pirate fleet.
Moreover, according to Esco's request, all pirate warships have enhanced the number of artillery. Esko spent all the wealth he looted on strengthening the combat effectiveness of the pirate fleet. The total number of artillery pieces totaled more than 750. Such a large number of artillery pieces is more powerful than an average naval squadron.
"Get ready for battle!" Esco ordered with high spirits.
Solum died in the battle, this was his absolute chance. As long as he performs well in battle, he will definitely become the most dazzling star among the younger generations of the Dutch East India Company. As long as you get their appreciation, there will be almost no difficulty in rising to the top of the Dutch Navy. Everyone knows the status of the Dutch East India Company in the country.
At this moment, Esco hopes that the dangerous enemy who appears will be strong enough to challenge him. Their number of battleships should be sufficient. It would be better if the total tonnage exceeds 10,000 tons. If the opponent is just a group of rabble, even if he annihilates them all, he will not be able to show his existence.
"Report! White Army Navy!"
Soon, the observation post sent a clear signal.
Several pirate warship observation posts were waving a special pennant.
After the Sorum pirate fleet was killed, a special semaphore was formulated within the Dutch Navy to indicate the existence of the White Army Navy. This small action can fully prove that the Dutch Navy has regarded the White Navy as a potential opponent.
??Even, the White Army Navy is regarded as the most dangerous enemy. The level of danger is even higher than that of the Spaniards. After all, Spain has passed its most glorious period and is on the decline. As long as the Dutch continue to attack, the Spaniards will eventually collapse. However, the white army and navy are completely different!
The current white army navy is like a bloody and energetic young man who is full of vitality. What's even more frightening is that the white-coated navy's fleet in Nanyang is like the tip of the iceberg, appearing very mysterious. Full text, no ads. No one knows how many fleets and how many large warships the White Army Navy has.
Considering various reasons, the Dutch Navy no longer dares to take the White Army Navy lightly, a rising star in Southeast Asia. Sorum's tragedy was, to a large extent, caused by his own arrogance. If Solum has any shortcomings, pride is his biggest shortcoming.
If Solum had been a little more careful, his entire army would not have been wiped out. Even if you can't beat him, at least you still have a chance to escape, right? If Sorum retreats decisively, I believe there is no need for the White Army Navy to kill them all. To say that the white-coated navy does not know the details of Sorum, the Dutch navy's top brass will never believe it. He didn't even know Sorum's background, so he rashly came to Nanyang. Have you ever seen such an idiot? Of course it's impossible!
Due to some reasons, the Dutch Navy is not ready to engage in a head-on battle with the White Army Navy for the time being. Is this not the case with the White Army Navy? If the Dutch Navy and the White Army Navy go to war in an all-out manner, it will actually be of no benefit to both parties. Therefore, the White Army Navy will definitely let Solum go, as long as he decisively withdraws from the battlefield.
However, it is regrettable that the final result was that Sorum's entire army was annihilated. All fifteen of his warships were destroyed, and more than 90% of the personnel died. If it weren¡¯t for someone passing by,Less than 10% of the remaining personnel of the Orchid merchant ship will also be drowned in the cold water.
But, Esco is different.
He is waiting for the white army navy to appear.
Esco urgently needs to prove himself with a huge victory.
"The army and navy in white? Great! Great! They came at the right time!"
After receiving the adjutant¡¯s report, Esco¡¯s whole body was suddenly filled with fighting spirit, and even his eyes were beating with the desire to fight. There is no doubt that he has regarded the coming white army navy fleet as his own meal. At this moment, all he could think about was how to defeat the White Army Navy and how to create the most astonishing achievement.
Under the shadow of Sorum's defeat, if he can defeat the White Navy and create a great victory, the eyes of the whole Netherlands will be focused on him. By that time, he will surely become the most eye-catching genius in the Netherlands with all his brilliance. His future life path will become brighter than ever before.
"Warriors, the guy who dares to challenge our dignity has appeared!"
Esco pulled out the command knife without hesitation and roared fiercely.
Originally, his military rank should be Captain of the Dutch Navy, and he should be equipped with a sharp sword to show his identity. However, since he is currently a pirate, he cannot be equipped with such a strict weapon. He has no choice but to use an ordinary semicircular scimitar instead.
"Three ships"
"Eight ships"
"Sixteen ships"
As the observation post continued to send out messages, the opponents of the Esko pirate fleet gradually revealed their true colors. Large battleships, like silent monsters, appeared silently on the sea level, quietly exuding intimidating pressure.
This fleet of the White Army Navy that suddenly appeared in the sea near Brunei is the fourth fleet of the White Army Navy. Due to the complexity of the situation in the Nanyang region, a large-scale naval battle may break out at any time. Relying on two fleets alone may be a bit weak, so Xu Xingxia decided to send more fleets to the Nanyang region as much as possible. Therefore, as soon as the Fourth Fleet was formed in Weihaiwei, it hurried south.
Like the previous White Army Navy fleet, these warships belonging to the White Army Navy also use white paint, with only the military flag being red. This color combination gives people a very refreshing and relaxed feeling, just like a cruise ship. However, if anyone really feels refreshed and relaxed, his end will definitely be tragic.
This is a warship! A warship containing huge destructive power. No matter what its appearance or color is, its inner nature will never change. Once it bursts into an angry roar, everything will be destroyed.
"Pirate fleet? Which country's pirate fleet does it belong to?"
Major Zhang Lei listened carefully to the observation post commander's report while carefully checking the charts. From time to time, I have to look up some information. After clarifying the basic situation, he habitually touched his forehead and said to himself.
?According to previous information, there are no native pirates in the Nanyang region. All pirate fleets are actually supported by national forces. In other words, they are actually puppets of the navies of various countries. Their actions represent the navy behind them. Attacking them is equivalent to attacking the navy behind them.
The pirate fleet in front of us looks quite strong, with a total of fifteen warships. The displacement of each battleship is also relatively large. In the Southeast Asia region, the only ones capable of supporting such a pirate fleet were the Dutch or the Spanish. What Major Zhang Lei could not confirm was whether the other party was Dutch or Spanish. According to the instructions above, there are subtle differences in the way the two handle things.
"They must be Dutch."
Fleet Commander Chen Zhan said methodically.
"why?"
Zhang Lei put down the information in his hand and asked his boss curiously.
It has always been a good habit of Zhang Lei to not be ashamed to ask questions, and it is also a good habit of all the officers and soldiers of the Fourth Fleet. Because, they have a very knowledgeable commander. Most of the questions can be answered relatively accurately from their commander.
The reason why it is said to be a relatively accurate answer is because the most accurate answer has always been with their supreme commander Xu Xingxia.
"If it was a pirate fleet controlled by the Spanish, they would definitely not initiate a conflict with us at this time. They took the initiative to avoid it in the sea near Manila. Only the Dutch would. We occupied Balimbang and threatened??The lifeline of maritime trade for the Dutch. The Dutch were very hostile to us. They are trying every possible means to test our reality. "Chen Zhan said in a methodical analysis.
Major Zhang Lei nodded thoughtfully.
The commander is a commander after all, he can see the problem to the point.
Chen Zhan, the commander of the Fourth Fleet of the White Army Navy, is a tall, thin, middle-aged man, like a teacher in a private school. Well, to be precise, Chen Zhan is only thirty-three years old, and he is still among the young people. However, in the Fourth Fleet, he is almost the oldest, so he is called a middle-aged man.
Chen Zhan is actually not from the navy. He had no naval experience before joining the White Army Navy. Thirteen years ago, he was a scholar somewhere in Shandong and was preparing to pass the examination. It's a pity that the imperial examination in Shandong has always been the most difficult one. He took the examination four times in a row and failed every time. When he was about to take the exam for the fifth time, the situation suddenly changed, the White Army came to kill him, the Ming Dynasty was destroyed, and the imperial examination was no longer held.
Fortunately, Chen Zhan is not the kind of person who loves reading. In addition to daily reading, he also dabbled in other aspects of knowledge, such as astronomy, geography, mountains and rivers, etc. He also tried to get out of Shandong and learn about other provinces. This was rare for scholars at that time. You must know that it is easy to read thousands of books, but it is quite difficult to travel thousands of miles.
When the White Army was recruiting talents from all walks of life, Chen Zhan decisively gave up studying and devoted himself to a new life. With his good cultural foundation and relatively rich knowledge, he quickly stood out among the white army and navy. After the White Army Navy's Fourth Fleet was established, Xu Xingxia appointed him as the commander of the Fourth Fleet.
After all, the navy is a technical branch with a high knowledge content and requires a high level of culture. A lot of professional knowledge cannot be obtained by a big boss with brute force. Ocean currents, trade winds, monsoons, tides, rocks As a fleet commander, even if you cannot master all professional knowledge, you must at least have a general understanding. Otherwise, you won't be able to make an accurate judgment.
Facts have proved that Chen Zhan, who was born as a scholar, has a good grasp of various professional knowledge. He can master more than 90% of the various marine knowledge taught by Xu Xingxia. In terms of pure cultural knowledge, he is the most outstanding among all fleet commanders.
Chen Zhan is not only the commander of the Fourth Fleet of the White Army Navy, but also the principal of the branch branch of the Fourth Fleet of the White Army Navy. The Fourth Fleet he led was both a battle fleet and a mobile school. Every naval soldier must not only complete combat tasks, but also complete learning tasks. If you fail the exam, you will cry.
The current White Army Navy is in its infancy and needs a large number of talents. The talent training speed of the White Army Navy is far behind the construction speed of warships. Under Xu Xingxia's personal supervision, various warships of the White Army Navy were launched into the water like dumplings. In the second year of Taichang alone, the White Army Navy was preparing to form eight fleets. So far, only four fleets have been organized.
The desire of the White Army and Navy for talents is unimaginable to outsiders. As long as you have outstanding abilities in a certain area, you can easily be promoted. Ranks such as second lieutenant and lieutenant are easily available. If you are very outstanding, you will definitely have hope of becoming a major or lieutenant colonel. This is indeed too stimulating for people.
"Ready to fight!"
Chen Zhan quickly issued the battle order.
Each of the pirate fleets on the South Sea has a backstage and a background. However, since the other party is wearing the skin of a pirate, the white-clothed army and navy will not be polite. No matter what the reason is, when and where, it is the duty of the navy to eliminate pirates. No matter what kind of unexpected situation occurs, it is not condemned.
