Three weeks later, Zhou Baotong commanded many warships and came to the South Seas of Asia.

Such a laborious fleet made many small countries in the entire South Seas a little nervous and trembling.

They don't know who this fleet is for, the Asian Island Alliance has not encountered a foreign naval fleet for many years, and when they see that huge fleet again today, they think to themselves, a strong enemy has reappeared?

There is tension in the entire South Sea countries, and the East Indies 'Yajing City', which is known as the overlord of the South Seas and the leader of the Asian Island Alliance.

A man dressed in the service of Qi came to the 'Governor's Palace' in Yajing City.

The supreme consul of the East Indies was called the 'Viceroy' before it was a kingdom called the State of Java, and the supreme consul here was the king of Java.

But a few decades ago, the Dutch Merchant Alliance settled here, and soon launched a war with the local ruler Javanese, at the beginning of the war, the Javanese king was a native war, and the Javanese king at that time was not a faint king, with the support of the locals, so the Dutch Merchant Alliance and the Javanese king fought in the early stage, and ended in defeat.

But the Dutch alliance wants to occupy this place, when it travels around a stronghold of world trade, the Dutch merchant alliance is a powerful maritime country, dominating the sea for decades, but a few years ago, the new maritime country 'Britain' has taken over the old and the new, the battle for maritime supremacy, and now there are few traces of them on the sea, they have been busy guarding their maritime hegemony at home, and they want to suppress the new power Britain.

If they can't be suppressed, their century-old foundation will be ruined, just like many weakened powers.

Although the Netherlands was in a series of defeats, the general who commanded the war did not quit, and he wrote a letter to the headquarters of the Netherlands, asking for an increase in military spending, and he recruited mercenaries in Java.

Under the temptation of money, many Javanese rebelled on the spot and joined the Netherlands from the army of the king of Java, and the war began to turn around, because under the temptation of money, many Javanese people did not want to follow the king of Java, but followed the invader Netherlands.

Eventually, the biggest battle between the two sides took place at 'Subaya', Java, which ended in the Dutch victory, which was followed by successive victories in the Netherlands, which took control of the entire state of Java, and then changed its name to 'East Indies'.

The war also caused fear among the southern maritime states, who feared that the Netherlands would annex them one by one, and at this time, the Spanish Empire entered the land.

They also began to raid the southern maritime states, and the Spanish Empire also attacked the Netherlands.

The Spanish Empire, one of the most powerful countries in the world at the time, was known as the empire on which the sun never set, and was far from being comparable to a merchant alliance in the Netherlands.

In order to preserve the East Indies that they had worked so hard to conquer, the Dutch began to unite with the southern states of Asia.

Subsequently, led by the Mughal Empire, the two most powerful powers in the south united with the East Indies to form the Asian Island Alliance against the Spanish Empire.

Of course, at this time, the empire in the north was also preparing to go south, and this alliance was formed at a very opportune time.

Eventually, the Spanish Empire was driven out and the empire stopped moving south, but the Asian island alliance persisted.

Later, because the Netherlands fell into the alternation of sea power, it launched many naval and land battles with neighboring Britain, and it was unable to care about the overseas territories it had conquered back then.

At this time, the consuls of the East Indies began to have ambitions for independence, and he gradually alienated the central part of the Netherlands, developing his own power in the East Indies, and finally he launched the War of Independence against the Netherlands.

And the Netherlands was fighting Britain in the lowlands of Europa, and the sea and land forces were dispatched, so what about the East Indies, which crossed the sea?

Although the East Indies were a good and wealthy place for them, they had no choice but to abandon them and let the governor stand on his own.

After establishing himself, the Governor actively cooperated with the Alliance of Asian Islands and at the same time consolidated his position in the South Seas.

The Governor was originally a position, appointed by the overlord, but since the Netherlands became independent, the Governorship gradually became a hereditary position.

It's not that the governor who launched independence didn't want to be king, but some of his subordinates are Dutch courtiers, if he rashly claims to be king, he is afraid of causing a backlash and making these people rebel, after all, everyone is a Dutch courtier, why can you be king, but I can't?

So the first governor gave up his claim to the throne, but he actively consolidated his native power, and after a hundred years, it was his sons who succeeded him, not the old Dutch courtiers.

The governor had a very good idea, that is, when these old Dutch ministers were almost dead, their heirs would be able to claim the title of king or even emperor as a matter of course.

After all, the East Indies are the hegemony of the South Seas, and the eight countries of the South Seas accept the protection of the East Indies, of course, this has a lot to do with the fact that the South Seas are all weak countries.

The strongest of the four major allies was the Mughal Empire, whose territory was the largest in southern Asia, and which once competed with the Zhou Empire, although it was suppressed, driven to the west, and let more than ten of its younger brothers become independent to prevent the invasion of the empire.

Even so, he was the most powerful presence among the southern states of Asia, followed by the South Vietnamese barbarians and Siam.

At the bottom of the list is the East Indies, which are mainly in the southern part of East Indies Asia, with the sea as a barrier, and the East Indies are all island countries.

As long as the East Indies had a strong navy, they could consolidate their position and hegemony, but their army was not strong, and they could never land in the southern part of Upper Asia to compete with it, and could only deter the island nations.

Because of the lack of a strong army, the East Indies can only rank fourth in the Asian Island Alliance, and if it really fights, the strength of the East Indies may not be as strong as the fifth power in the Asian Island Alliance.

Because the East Indies had a sea barrier, coupled with a strong navy, the defense was sufficient, and it was also very powerful to deter the island countries of Asia, but after all, human beings lived on land.

If you have to fight on land, your strength may be far inferior to others, so when war really breaks out, the East Indies may not be able to defeat the fifth power of the Asian Island Alliance.

Of course, the fifth power did not have a strong navy, and it may not be easy, or even impossible, to land on the mainland of the East Indies.

After all, Siam and the South Vietnamese barbarians jointly attacked the East Indies a long time ago, but they were stopped by the East Indies at sea, and the large army they stopped did not even reach the East Indies proper, and they were destroyed, and the position of the East Indies was completely consolidated in southern Asia.
