Everyone's eyes lit up, and they could hit the enemy, but they couldn't hit themselves, which was something that all commanders dreamed of.

After Lin Fei finished speaking, he looked at Ling Xue, "Xue'er, you can continue." ”

Ling Xue said with a smile: "There is nothing to say about the power system, by the way, there is another point that needs to be mentioned, that is, the manufacture of the propeller of the big warship, our propeller has been stuck in the technical difficulties before, and it can't be rushed, so the progress of the big warship has been delayed again and again." ”

"Later, His Majesty brought a lot of experienced craftsmen from Fujian, especially the craftsmen of the Fuzhou Shipbuilding Bureau, many of them are old craftsmen who have built warships for decades, and their ability to operate machine tools to process parts is very strong, and now complex propellers have been manufactured by them."

Ling Xue looked at Xiyun as she spoke, and said with a smile: "We were able to invite craftsmen from the Fuzhou Ship Administration Bureau, thanks to the vice president of the Huaxia Naval Academy...... Mr. Sa Zhenbing. ”

Fuzhou Shipbuilding Bureau was one of the most prestigious military factories in the late Qing Dynasty, second only to the largest military factory in the late Qing Dynasty in terms of status and fame...... Jiangnan Manufacturing Administration.

The Fuzhou Shipbuilding Bureau built a number of modern warships and formed the Nanyang Naval Division, also known as the "Fujian Naval Division", for the Qing court, which was heavily damaged in the Sino-French War, and the Fuzhou Naval Administration has been in a slump since then.

The dim and incompetent Qing court did not know how to cherish the craftsmen of the Fuzhou Ship Bureau, these craftsmen were all in trouble, Lin Fei knew these circumstances, and asked Sa Zhenbing to go to Fuzhou in person to recruit these craftsmen, Sa Zhenbing had studied in the Fuzhou Ship Administration Bureau in his early years, and knew many people in the Ship Bureau, plus Sa Zhenbing was from Fuzhou, so he quickly recruited many craftsmen.

Xiyun smiled embarrassedly when he heard Ling Xue mention his father, and Ling Xue continued: "In the end, only the protection system is left, and the main armor of the big battle ship is laid on the waterline belt, using 'hard steel...... Wrought iron...... Composite armor of steel' structure, with 200 mm at its thickest point, is effective against armor-piercing shells at long distances. ”

Ling Xue rubbed her throat after speaking, and said with a smile: "Okay, that's all I want to introduce, is there anything you want to add?" ”

Lin Fei said with a smile: "There is only one thing I want to say, that is, we should give our warship a mighty and domineering name, I don't know if you have any good ideas?" ”

Liu Daming laughed, "Our last type of cruiser is already the 'Dragon class', and the 'Dragon' is the king of animals, I think our big warships can no longer be named after animals." ”

"That's right, you can't use animals anymore." Lin Fei said with a smile, "When everyone is thinking about names, you must pay attention to one thing...... The name should be related to Chinese culture. ”

Everyone whispered, and no one could come up with an accurate idea, Lin Fei smiled and said: "Since everyone can't say it well, then let's do it, I thought of a good name." ”

Everyone looked at Lin Fei and asked, "What is a good name?" ”

Lin Fei said with a smile: "I think it's called the 'Great Emperor-class' cruiser, one of the two warships is called the 'Han Wu Ship', and the other is called the 'Tang Zong Ship', everyone knows the Han Wu Emperor and Tang Taizong, right?" ”

Liu Daming laughed loudly, "I don't know about other emperors, but I happen to know these two, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty went on an expedition to Mobei and beat the Xiongnu very badly, and the Xiongnu couldn't get mixed up in the Han Dynasty, so they could only run to Europe, and as a result, Europe was in a mess; Tang Taizong subdued all the barbarians around him, and they called Tang Taizong 'Tian Khan'..."

Lin Fei said with a smile: "These things you said are indeed the merits of these two emperors, I named the two warships like this, just to sue the Indonesians and the Dutch......" Lin Fei said this, his face was solemn, and he said solemnly: "Those who offend me in Huaxia will be punished even if they are far away..."

Everyone said in unison: "Yes, although it is far away, it will be punished..."

Lin Fei waved his hand to let everyone sit down, and said: "Now our Han Wu ship and Tang Zong ship are only about to install a new type of propeller, after installing the new type of propeller, there will be less time for sea trials, and now that the war is imminent, we can only conduct sea trials while marching, okay, today's meeting will be held here first, everyone go back." ”

Everyone agreed to come down, each went back, the next few days, the situation changed, on May 31, Lin Fei announced the news of the Dutch declaration of war to the whole country, and sent a message to the news agencies of various countries in Dayu City...... The Chinese Empire officially declared war on the Kingdom of the Netherlands.

Lin Fei had never understood why the Kingdom of the Netherlands would suddenly declare war, but only after listening to the introduction of the British from the news agency did he clarify the thoughts of the Kingdom of the Netherlands.

It turned out that after Lin Fei supported the restoration of the Lanfang Republic, the Dutch hated Lin Fei and the Chinese Empire to the core, although on the surface the Lanfang Republic was restored by itself, but anyone with a discerning eye could see that the restoration of the Lanfang Republic was completely directed and planned by Lin Fei.

The Dutch also carefully analyzed the Resolve Ship incident and Lin Fei's expression in the Anglo-Dutch War, and found that Lin Fei supported both sides in the Anglo-Dutch War, with the aim of making both Britain and the Netherlands lose both, and the Dutch deduced that the entire Resolve Ship incident was Lin Fei's conspiracy at all.

The Resolve Ship Incident caused the Dutch to lose Pontianak and the entire Borneo, and the Dutch killed Lin Fei, but the two Yoshino ships of the same class did not enter service, and the Dutch did not dare to move for the time being, but the Dutch military could not hold back and carried out a retaliatory sneak attack on the transport ship heading to Zhurong City, which was the "transport ship incident" in which Lin Fei lost more than 200 excellent technicians.

The "Transport Ship Incident" led Lin Fei to take revenge on the Dutch Navy, Lin Fei led the Sky Dragon and Yunlong ships to launch an attack on Makassar, three Dutch warships were sunk, and Lin Fei also forced Paratro, the governor of Makassar, to sign an agreement to lease the island of Paratu.

Not long after this incident, the Manado incident occurred, and Lin Fei directly occupied Manado, which became the last straw that broke the camel's back.

The government of the Kingdom of the Netherlands appointed Governor of Makassar Aridro as the acting Governor of the Dutch East Indies, with full responsibility for the war against the Chinese Empire, and Aritro carefully liquidated the military strength in his hands, and the navy only had two ships of the same class as the Yoshino ship, which the Dutch named "Thor's Hammer" and "Seraph's Sword", and the army had a standing army of 5,000.

Alidro compared the army navy with the army and navy of the Chinese Empire, and found that except for the slight advantage of two warships, the army was basically negligible, and in order to make up for the lack of strength of the army, Alitro came up with a method of recruiting a large number of Indonesians into the army.

There are 24 million Indonesians, and there are almost 10 million young men between the ages of 15 and 40 among these people, and 10 million troops are more than enough to fight Lin Fei's Chinese Empire...

Alitro set his sights on the island of Paratu, and instructed the Indonesians to attack and kill the island.

With the help of traitors, the Indonesians killed all the Chinese advance team members on the island and created the appalling "Platatu Island Massacre", which had a great impact and was written into the world history textbooks of all countries in later generations, but the Indonesians' methods were too cruel, and all textbooks only dared to write "brutal killing", as for the plot of cutting off the man's genitals and women's breasts and putting them in glass jars, they were not mentioned.

Aridro created the "Plato Island Massacre", and then lured Lin Fei to lead his troops to attack, let the Thor's Hammer and Seraph's Sword Ship ambush in advance, and rushed to the Huaxia battleship with the British flag, so as to seize the opportunity and let Lin Fei swallow the bitter fruit of the disastrous defeat in the Battle of Paratu.

After Lin Fei announced the news of the declaration of war by the Kingdom of the Netherlands, the Chinese people were excited and set off a frenzy of joining the army.

Lin Fei believes that the strength of the Netherlands is not strong enough to need to mobilize the strength of the whole country to fight, so the whole country has not been transferred to wartime production, and the steel mills are still producing steel rails, generators and other industrial products that determine the development level of the Chinese Empire.

The battle of Zhurong City also began, and the submarine cable from Zhurong City to Hele Island transmitted the battle situation to Hele Island, and then from Hele Island to Dayu City, Lin Fei knew about the situation of Zhurong City.

On 2 June, 5,000 Indonesians landed on Alimandes Beach on the south side of Zhurong City and immediately launched a strong attack on Zhurong City.

From June 2 to June 4, the Indonesians launched hundreds of strong attacks on Zhurong City, and when the Indonesians attacked, they used crowd tactics every time to rush to the fortresses and trenches of the Huaxia army, and the Huaxia army almost every time had to beat the barrel of the gun red to repel the Indonesians...

The Indonesians attacked so strongly, the dead people naturally countless, although the Indonesians died a lot, but did not collect the corpse at all, Zhurong City is located in the tropics, the climate is hot, the corpse will begin to decompose in a few hours, the battlefield is filled with a strong smell of corpses, Niu Dalong, the commander of the Chinese army, is worried that the corpse will cause a plague, so he has to call on the indigenous people in the city to collect the corpse.

The natives in the city were successfully brainwashed by Lin Fei, and they already recognized that they were nationals of the Chinese Empire, and actively responded to Niu Dalong's call to help collect the corpses.

The Indonesians were commanded by the Dutch, and the Dutch were indifferent to the death of the Indonesians, they still forced the Indonesians to attack, and promised the Indonesians that as long as they captured Zhurong City, they would grab things at will, kill men at will, and play with women at will... The Indonesians then launched a tidal wave of offensives again and again.

Since there was no arsenal in Zhurong City, the ammunition of the Huaxia Army had to be transferred from Voss City, so the two sides also started a contest at sea, and the Crazy Dragon Ship and the Angry Dragon Ship using the civilian power system had a gap in maneuverability with the Dutch ships, and after several battles, the two battleships were damaged, but the Dutch ships were unharmed.

The unfavorable news of the naval battle was sent to Lin Fei's desk again and again, and Lin Fei understood that it was time to lead the Tang Zong ship and the Han Wu ship to attack...
