Victory, almost effortlessly, captured most of the Dutch Navy warships, for these Dutch warships, Xiao Jianfeng has no good solution, these ships, maybe for the pirates, some can even become the flagship of the pirates, but at present, the northwest already has the production capacity of capital ships such as super dreadnoughts, not to mention heavy patrols and light training, in the future, the capital ships on the South Seas side will also be transformed one by one, replaced, and turned into newer and stronger cutting-edge warships, They don't pay much attention to these shitties in the Netherlands.

The Dutch warships, except for a few that were hit and were too badly damaged, the rest, most of them surrendered voluntarily, the Dutch did a good job at this, and the remaining ships were all powerless without any problems, these ships were not very valuable, but they still had value, and in the worst case, they could also be used to sell scrap, and they were dismantled to sell scrap steel, and these ships were pulled back to Black Dragon Island.

This naval battle near Borneo ended so uneventfully, it was a war of annihilation, even the battlefield was unusually clean, and all the Dutch survivors were taken prisoner under the premise that everyone reported the news.

The speed of the battleship was much faster than that of the transport, and Norton was in a hurry to get to Borneo, so the distance between him and the transporter was a little farther, almost 80 nautical miles, and at this moment, no one noticed that there was anything wrong with the battleship, and the transporter was moving forward unhurriedly.

Xiao Jianfeng simply cleaned up the battlefield, except for a few destroyers with captured warships, swaying towards Black Dragon Island, and the rest went straight to the transport fleet of the Dutch Navy. 2 seaplanes also took off, and they went straight to the target. Because underneath the transport ship, it was always followed by submarines. Submarines may not be able to catch up with battleships, but they are still a little stronger than ordinary transport ships, and these transport ships have never escaped their field of vision.

The plane arrived first, only half an hour later, the plane suddenly appeared, startling the commander of the transport ship, who did not know what it was. His intuition told him that there was some problem, that he wanted to get the fleet to change course, but he was rejected by the army commander, and the best opportunity was missed, more than 100 nautical miles, even if it was a destroyer, it would take 3 hours, if he turned. Although he still can't return to Jakarta, he can disembark at the nearest port, and the fate of hundreds of thousands of Dutch troops will be rewritten.

But. When the war came, there was no if, when the Black Dragon pirates, armed to the teeth, arrived. When the transport ships were surrounded, the transport fleet did not even have any ability to defend itself. They didn't even have a single small cannon, and they couldn't outrun the destroyer. It can't beat the battleship, and the nearest port is also 50 nautical miles.

No way, under the unified discussion of several commanders, in the end, more than 200,000 Dutch troops chose to surrender, 200,000 surrendered to less than 5,000 people, which is unimaginable in the army, but in the navy, it is common, in the case of inferior technology, a ship can be one after another, send huge cargo ships to the bottom of the sea, not like the army, kill 10,000 enemies and lose 3,000.

The expeditionary navy and army, just like that, was buried, due to the huge gain, Xiao Jianfeng did not dare to slack off, and had to be sent to the base camp of the Black Dragon Pirates, although the number of 200,000 Dutch soldiers was too much, but under the escort of the armed fleet, plus the Black Dragon Island also had more than 50,000 living forces, there was no problem, but it took time to deal with them.

The captive fleet and the captive transport ship were divided into two parts, and went to Heilong Island successively, this battle, just before the alarm was any, disappeared, that is, three days later, the traces of the war, through the ocean current, slowly flowed to Malacca, the British army found the obvious Dutch flag and some floating corpses during the daily cruise, which made the British notice that the Dutch fleet did not go to Borneo to support the Dutch troops against the attack of the Chinese, but encountered danger.

The first battle of Borneo was promoted and opened by the Netherlands, but it was promoted by Britain and France behind the scenes, they very much hoped that this Dutch team could win the victory, the previous defeat of the natives in Borneo had made the British and French a little vigilant, plus these floating corpses and military flags, at that time period, the Dutch who went to Borneo only had the fleet and the army.

The British immediately contacted the Dutch envoys, and then contacted the governor of Jakarta, and after Norton and other expeditionary forces arrived, he was relieved of his duties, that is, after Norton left, he assumed military and political power in Jakarta.

The huge fleet plus 200,000 Dutch troops, in the governor's opinion, there is no problem, he should be able to easily solve the Chinese in Borneo, when Norton has made a great contribution, he can also follow the clear name, you know, Borneo has millions of more Chinese, directly affecting the colonial rule of the Netherlands, this matter is quite big, did not take away his official position, but also thanks to his background in the Netherlands, there are big people to help him speak, let him take the credit.

I thought that he would hear good news, but he didn't expect that Britain and France would actually transmit such a possibility back, of course he flatly denied it, thinking that it was impossible, and he even thought that the fleet might have been lost.

Trek, hearing the Governor's layman's rhetoric, the British were surprised, how brain-dead it must be to think of such a thing, British intelligence officers in Indonesia, from the peripheral information, know the exact departure time of the Dutch fleet, combined with the ocean current and the possibility, and finally judged the possibility of the Dutch annihilation, but the Dutch are unwilling to face the facts, joking, dozens of centuries ago, when the navigation industry was not developed, and what was not obvious to measure, there was still the theory of Trek, but in this era, When everything is measured very well, Trek, that is self-defeating.

Britain and France can't sit still, Indonesia is not a treasure land, but also in their colonial circles, too close to the French-controlled Indochina Peninsula and British-controlled Malacca, especially Malacca, which is the key strait in Asia that controls the British Empire, and is also a proof that the British Empire dominates the whole world, even in the worst case, it cannot be lost, compared to Hong Kong, it is really nothing.

The Dutch lost more than half of their combat effectiveness, the Dutch city defense in Pontianak is okay, as long as there is the necessary sea power, it should be able to hold, as long as it drags down here, when Britain and France have the ability to interfere here, it will inevitably give the Chinese a good look, even if it doesn't work, delaying time, leaving more preparation time and protection for the Indochina Peninsula and the Strait of Malacca, is also a good choice.

To this end, the British and French navies and part of the army completed the assembly at an unimaginable speed, with 2 French divisions, 1 British brigade and 1 Indian division, both of which were transported to Pontianak in Borneo at the fastest speed, and most importantly, the entire British Navy and the French Navy, all the warships in Asia, were dispatched.

The combined Anglo-French fleet, with a total of up to 120 warships, concentrated all the forces of Britain and France in Asia, including some cruisers, former dreadnoughts and many auxiliary small warships, many of which were cutting-edge, and the cruisers produced after 1910, in the eyes of the British, perhaps the northwest, with the help of Germany, had the ability to compete with the protective cruisers of less than 10,000 tons. But compared with the 10,000-ton armored cruiser and the 14,000-ton former dreadnought, it is not as good as the emergence of the dreadnought, so that a large number of former dreadnoughts are outdated, but Britain has the largest colony in the world, in order to protect the security of the colony, they must also maintain a large scale of warships in Asia, and now they are pouring out.

Most of the British warships departed from Hong Kong, while the French ones set off from the Vietnamese harbor, concentrating a huge number of warships, and they couldn't hide it from people at all, and they didn't intend to hide it, in their opinion, maybe to deal with China, China, a huge land, so more than 100 ships are not enough, but to deal with Borneo, this huge island, no matter how it is an island, the warships circle around the island, and under a circle, these buns, what morale do they have.

The British warships left Hong Kong, and by the way, they also demonstrated at the mouth of the Pearl River, the meaning is quite simple, they left, don't think about attacking Hong Kong, they will come back.

It's a pity that in the eyes of the northwest, they will never be able to come back, if it is just China, it may not be able to deal with such a large fleet, but Scheer's fleet is here, they have been training for more than half a year, and they have already been gearing up, waiting for an excellent appearance, and now, the other party has given this opportunity.

With the help of a special radio station, after Scheer mastered the movements of the British and French fleets, he actually sent an inquiry to Xiao Jianfeng, whether the sea forces in the northwest could hold off the opponent's fleet for 30 minutes.

Scher's meaning is very simple, since they appeared, they did not want the British and French fleets to escape, at least they had to inflict heavy damage on most of them, completely clear the obstacles, and at that time, Germany would leave a small fleet in East Asia, with the cooperation of the northwest, to attack any target in Asia.

In the naval battle, the total annihilation battle is very difficult, someone must drag one side, and the remaining superior forces suddenly appear to surround the ships, otherwise, Britain and France are not stupid like the Netherlands, once they find that the other side has a capital ship of this level, they will immediately scatter and flee, and when the time comes, even if Scheer's fleet goes to catch up, it will destroy about 20% of the part at most, and the rest will have a great chance to run away.

Scheer's telegram was only an inquiry, not an order, not a request, but it made Xiao Jianfeng very embarrassed, the battle with the Dutch navy did not play a role in training, is it difficult, to have a trip with Britain and France, will it be too dangerous? (To be continued.) )
