The journey starts from the Titanic

The South China Army now has more than 50,000 troops in Jakarta, equipped with a large number of heavy weapons and equipped with a large number of aircraft.They were well-trained and not weak in combat effectiveness, and they took Jakarta City in less than a week.

This is information provided by the British. The military attache of the British Embassy stationed in Jakarta confirmed with his own eyes that the South China Army used artillery to blow up a small part of Jakarta.

What a headache!

Lieutenant General Philip frowned, and after thinking for a while, he still couldn't make up his mind whether or not to work hard with Nanhua's main force in Jakarta.

He turned and returned to the cabin, ready to listen to the opinions of the officers.

"Palembang is a good choice. After the main force of the South China Army landed in Java, Palembang was empty. If we launch the landing, it is estimated that we can succeed. At the same time, we can cut the connection between Medan and Jakarta."

An officer analyzed.

"Can Palembang compare with Jakarta? The enemy occupy Jakarta for a day, and their power will grow day by day. If we fall into the jungle of Sumatra, it will be difficult to go back and retake Jakarta.

Even if they occupy Palembang, the connection between Medan and Jakarta cannot be completely cut off. They can still obtain supplies through Indian Ocean routes or other foreign merchant ships."

Another officer retorted.

"Yeah! Java Island is the root. Without Jakarta, even having Palembang will not help." Someone agreed.

"Blame the greedy British and Americans, they are too damn. For the money, they don't hesitate to send supplies to the yellow-skinned monkeys."

A Dutch officer began to denounce profiteering businessmen from other countries.

When it comes to profiteering, no one can beat the Dutch.

When they fought with the British a hundred years ago, ABN AMRO continued to extend loans to the United Kingdom. As a result, they defeated their country, and they accepted the result rationally.

After condemning foreign businessmen, these Dutch officers began to complain that their compatriots were unworthy.

"Oh! Jakarta's army is too incompetent, why can't it persist for more days?"

"If Jakarta were in our hands, at least the yellow-skinned monkeys would not dare to come from the outer islands."...

Lieutenant General Philip did not say a word, frowned deeply, looked at a group of officers, discussed for a long time, but failed to give himself effective advice.

Hmm.

He pressed his right hand in the air and stopped the discussion among the kingdom elites.

"With regard to the threat of enemy aircraft, do you have any good ideas?"

Lieutenant General Philip asked.

This is the most important question!The answer is actually very simple, just add anti-aircraft machine guns and anti-aircraft artillery.However, the Dutch expeditionary fleet went hurriedly and hurried over from Europe. No warships large and small had time to refit, and there was a serious lack of air defense firepower.

Of course, they didn't notice this problem.If it were not for the lessons of the Medan naval battle, they would not discuss this issue.

The words of Lieutenant General Philip left the Dutch officers speechless.

After a short silence, a brave Dutch officer said: "General, we have already installed machine guns on the ship. Although the number is small, it should be fine as long as you drop it carefully. Bullets can never penetrate our ship. !"

"Yeah." Lieutenant General Philip nodded, reluctantly accepting this reality.

"Go forward to attack Palembang, obtain the port, replenish supplies, and then retake Jakarta!" Lieutenant General Philip said in a final word.

Chapter 112-The Last Battle-Java Sea Battle

The Dutch fleet came towards Palembang, and they came here bitterly.

If Lieutenant General Philip saw the neatly coded planes in the airport near Palembang Port and the torpedoes hanging under the planes, he would definitely regret this expedition trip.

After a light rain in the Java Sea in the morning, the weather cleared, which made people feel comfortable.

The fresh sea breeze blew on the faces of the sailors of the Dutch expedition, letting their nervous hearts relax a bit and enjoy the tranquility of the moment before the war.

The fort in Palembang was still arranged by the Dutch. They were very familiar with it and knew that the old fort would not pose too much threat to their fleet.

Landing in Palembang was their first step in regaining lost ground and declaring to the world that the sea coachman has not fallen.

On the observation tower of the cruiser Amsterdam, the flagship of the Dutch Expeditionary Fleet, two Dutch sailors looked at the blue Java Sea, feeling relaxed and chatting while watching.

"Do you think those yellow-skinned monkeys are crying to find their mother under our cannon?" A Dutch sailor smiled and said to his companion.

"Of course. I must kick their ass fiercely this time! My grandfather's grandfather said that those yellow-skinned monkeys are greedy for life and fear of death. As long as we are a little harder, they immediately kneel down and beg for mercy."

The other Dutch soldier took it for granted.

Back then, his grandfather's grandfather came to Nanyang with the East India Company to make his fortune, and then returned to Amsterdam beautifully.

The beautiful and rich spice islands are the dream of many Dutch people.

The local economy is not very good now, or you can stay here to develop after the war is over, open a big plantation, and hire many yellow monkeys to work for yourself...

The soldier thought beautifully.They are tall, with golden hair and confident faces.

These little soldiers still don’t know the “good news” about the fall of Jakarta and the capture of Java Island by South China, and they can remain blindly optimistic.

When entering the Bangka Strait, the Dutch watchmen noticed that several ships were approaching them quickly on the ocean ahead.

"Huh? What is that? It's so fast!"

"It's a warship! It may be the enemy's destroyer!"

"how do you know?"

"For the entire Java Sea, only those yellow-skinned monkeys will have yellow and blue faces!"

"Oh. Then raise the alarm!"

Dangdang!

The rapid sirens sounded on the Dutch warship, and the well-trained Dutch sailors quickly returned to the combat post, which made Lieutenant General Philip nod secretly.

He observed the unidentified fleet ahead. There were 5 ships in total, flying yellow and blue flags, which should be the legendary South China Navy fleet.

Damn American!

Lieutenant General Philip scolded.

Because the opposing warship was a Wick-class destroyer built by the United States, no less than a hundred were produced in World War I.After the war, some of these warships were left in other countries.

Although the US military has phased out Wick-class destroyers and replaced them with better and better Clemson-class destroyers, the few South China destroyers that appeared in front of them were better than their own.

The opponent rushed at high speed, and Lieutenant General Philip had some questions in his heart: The opponent dared to send these small boats to his expeditionary fleet, do they want to die?These idiots!

Whether you are a real idiot or a fake idiot, let you look good today!
