Jeranja City. ? WWW.suimeng.lā.
The Dutch soldiers looked enviously at the battleship of the Great Yu State docked in the harbour. The people stationed in Jeranjah for seven years came and went, and walked again, but the same thing is that Great Yu State is amazing. Speed of development.
"General Yue Yun, welcome you to the city of Jeranj." Eric showed a sincere smile. He is the new governor of Jeranj, responsible for Dutch affairs in Asia.
"It's nice to meet you, Eric." Yue Yun smiled. He has become accustomed to dealing with Eric, and he often visits Ryukyu here these years.
In addition to supplying coal and water here, he also came to Jeranjah for the Spaniards.
In fact, the Netherlands and Spain have colonies on the islands of Luzon and East Indonesia at the same time. The relationship between the two is actually a competitive relationship. Spain has always been vigilant against the Dutch. The two sides often conflict due to interest issues.
Therefore, after obtaining authorization from the emperor, he found the Dutch in the first place. As a result, they were not familiar with the real geographical situation of the Philippine islands such as Luzon and Mint, and needed help from the Dutch.
Secondly, this expedition supply is also a problem. If the Dutch can provide supplies, their pressure will be much smaller.
The third is the alliance treaty they signed with the Dutch. This treaty stipulates that the two need to advance and retreat together in Asian affairs. If the Dutch are attacked in Asia, the country is obliged to help the Dutch fight back against the enemy. Similarly, the Dutch People are also obliged to help Great Yu country attack the enemy.
After the greeting, Yue Yun and Eric went to the official office of Relanzhe City, and he fully informed Eric about the action.
"You are going to attack the Spaniards and seize Malacca?" Eric said in surprise, and after a while, he said, "It's easy to beat the Spaniards, but Malacca is now controlled by the British. Moreover, the French Indochina is in Malacca. On the east side, once you seize Malacca, they will not sit back and watch."
Yue Yun laughed loudly: "Eric, you don't have to worry about this. We are determined to win the Strait of Malacca this time. Britain and France stabbed the knife in the back several times during the turmoil in our country. The emperor has long been dissatisfied. It’s time to pack them up.
After a pause, he continued: "And according to our intelligence, the total number of British and French warships in the Asian waters is less than 50. Together, we will be able to defeat them."
There was a spark of excitement in Eric's eyes when he heard the words. The former Holland was the true maritime hegemon of Europe. It was the British who destroyed them, made their status plummet, and took away many of their colonies.
They have kept this account in their minds, but the decline of the Netherlands has made it impossible to fight the British, but now it is different with the Great Chongqing. They can completely suppress Britain and France in Asia and obtain more tangible benefits.
Moreover, the purpose of their signing of the covenant with the Great Yu Kingdom was to deal with the British together, and now Yue Yun's request is not excessive.
"I'm not worried, I'm just surprised by the ambitions of your majesty the emperor, but I have to say that your action this time is in our interest. Now we have 20 warships in Asia, which can help you." K said.
A stone fell to the ground in Yue Yun's heart. As long as they had the support of the Dutch, it would be easier for them to attack the Spaniards.
"That being the case, now we make a plan of operations. According to my idea, first we must launch a surprise attack on the Spanish navy near Luzon, destroy their navy in one fell swoop, and then use Manila as a base to compete with Britain and France for Malacca. Strait..."
Yue Yun unfolded the sea chart he carried and marked the steps of the attack.
Eric nodded frequently and cast admiring glances at Yue Yun. He had to admit that this Yue Yun was an admiral with strategic vision.
Reached an agreement, the two agreed to set off in five days, this time they will cooperate together against the enemy for the first time.

Qingzhou, Yushufang.
Song Changping happily handed a steel shell bullet to Xiao Ming. This was the first metal bullet they made after the metal bullet project was put on the agenda.
"The emperor, this is the bullet we produced." Song Changping said loudly.
Xiao Ming showed a look of joy. Since setting the task of producing metal bullets, the entire Qingzhou industrial system has been operating.
The thermal power plant provided electricity to the military workshop for the first time, and various equipment factories, under the organization of Lin Wentao, produced electric motors and bullet production related machinery and equipment day and night.
In more than two months, they set up a manual and automatic bullet production line and produced the first steel shell bullet.
"It's not easy. This will be a sign of the evolution of military weapons." Xiao Ming picked up the bullet, which was basically similar in shape to modern bullets.
Looking at this modernized bullet, Xiao Ming was a little emotional.
Now the science and technology level of the country has reached the nineteenth century steadily, and with the detailed technical information provided by him, it is still possible to establish a simple military system based on a strong industrial foundation.
For example, the metal bullet production line in Dayu State is actually semi-manual and semi-automatic. The shells and warheads of the bullets are produced by workers using machinery. As for the primer, gunpowder and warheads, the assembly of the shells is done manually.
In this way, the difficulty of bullet production is greatly reduced. After all, the production line for automatic production and assembly requires CNC, and he can't get it out.
"The emperor, although the production speed of this metal bullet is a bit slower, after all, we also have metal bullets. The lower officials thought that the production of Falcon rifles was no longer necessary. Now the military workshop only produces percussion rifles. I hope the emperor can officially Name the rifle." Song Changping said.
Xiao Ming nodded. He has not given a definite name for this type of percussion rifle. Excited, he said: "This type of rifle is called a Han-style rifle. I hope this type of percussion rifle combined with metal bullets can let us Drive out the invading enemy like a big man!"
"Han-style rifle?" Song Changping's eyes lit up~EbookFREE.me~ and he said heavily: "Good name, this firing rifle will definitely leave the history behind."
"Hahaha..."
After that, the two laughed at the same time.
Xiao Ming continued to play with metal bullets. As long as this type of bullet is available, the shortcomings of the breech rifle will be eliminated. At the same time, the advantages of rifling and hammer-shaped bullets will also be reflected. This type of rifle has both range and accuracy Will be higher than the deflated Falcon rifle.
In addition, the emergence of metal bullets is more to bring a new understanding of weapons, which is also an inspiration for artillery.
He was thinking, suddenly Qian Dafu walked in, bowed and said, "The emperor, Chen Qi begs to see you."
Startled for a moment, Xiao Ming looked at Song Changping, "You two are really interesting, why don't you come together?"
Song Changping coughed embarrassingly, and he said: "The emperor, I can't complain about this. During this period, Chen Qi has sealed off the artillery factory, and no one knows what he is playing inside!"
