Chapter 818： Route replenishment station

In mid-July, Sri Lanka, south of Colombo.

A Chinese fleet landed here and then had a ‘friendly’ negotiation with the local indigenous people.

The Huajun first used one hundred and twenty-eight salutes to express its enthusiasm, and then fired shots to commemorate those who died accidentally injured by the salute.

In the end, the Hua Jun also paid a large amount of compensation to the local leader.

The local leader felt Dahua’s courtesy, chose generous understanding, and gave Dahua a port and a piece of land as a temporary residence.

Then, Dahua began to build military bases and supply depots here.

The main function is to provide coal, fresh water, food and other supplies to Dahua's ocean-going ships.

Of course, in the future, we can expand some trade and do business with local people.

The Chinese Army left a thousand garrison in Colombo, and then proceeded to the next stop. Seamount (Cape Town), dozens of kilometers north of the Cape of Good Hope, is a natural harbor.

Unlike Colombo, the seamounts are now occupied by the Dutch and a colony has been established.

To deal with the indigenous people, the Chinese army fired a few shots and fired a few shots to scare them, and the other party would compromise.

But dealing with the Dutch is not so easy.

Before the Suez Canal was dug through, Haishan was the only way for China-Europe trade.

Even if the Suez Canal is dug through, there will not be too few ships passing by this place.

Had it not been for the importance of Haishan, Dahua would not want to fight with the Dutch for the time being.

But now, Dahua’s Admiralty is no longer so much, and they are bound to win this place.

Moreover, the Navy felt that even if it was a fight with the Dutch, the problem was not big.

After all, the Dutch have only occupied the seamounts for a year or two, and the ownership of this place is still unclear.

In August, the Chinese fleet arrived at Haishan, and then requested to enter the port for supplies.

This kind of request, the Dutch Seamount Governor Cruzo naturally did not agree.

If it is a merchant ship of Dahua, he may agree to maintain the relationship with Dahua.

However, Dahua came in this time but a warship.

It is too dangerous to put a warship into the port. In case the Chinese army gets brainstormed and fires a few shots at the buildings on the shore, their construction here for a year or two will be useless.

These are all the hard work of Cruzot, he is not willing to take this risk.

In Cruzo's view, the port is his own, and rejection is justified.

However, the Hua Jun was here to find faults, even if they had no excuses, they would make one.

Now that Cruzo offered an excuse, it would be even easier.

Dahua Naval Expeditionary Force, Hongyuan Captain Ding Maochu sent an envoy again.

"Haishan has not belonged to you Dutch since ancient times. Our army has to dock for supplies, and you have no right to refuse."

Said the messenger.

"Ceuta is not your Dahua territory, can my warship go in?"

Cruzo sneered and sarcastically, what since ancient times, this is a world more than a fist.

Whoever has a hard fist will have the ground.

"of course can."

The Chinese envoys didn't think about it, so they agreed directly.

Anyway, Ceuta was nearly 10,000 kilometers away, and Cruzo couldn't verify it immediately.

Take it down first, and talk about it later.

Cruzo was choked for a while, and said, "Impossible, I don't believe it. In short, my port just doesn't allow any warships to enter."

"Well, if that's the case, then our army can only break in by force."

The envoy of the Chinese Army issued the final confession.

"Dare you, you are going to war against the Netherlands, you are destroying the relations between the two countries, you have to take full responsibility."

Cruzo said.

The words "you dare" in the front are hard-hearted, but the following paragraph has exposed his lack of confidence.

Really awesome people don’t need threats or intimidation.

In the end, the two sides did not agree, and the Chinese military envoy had already brought the words and completed the task.

Afterwards, he went back to his life.

As soon as he left, other people in the room started various arguments.

"I don't think we should risk offending the big Chinese, we should promise them."

Looney understands Dahua's strength better. He feels that he can't be tough with Dahua, because that would not end well.

"Isn't it a risk to let them in? I don't think we need to be afraid. They will come alone. As long as we stay in Lingbao, they will cut off supplies if they can't hold on for half a month."

Another hardliner advocates war.

"I think it can be a compromise. They refuse to allow their warships to enter the port, but agree to help them replenish them. It's just that our ships are used to transport the supplies out of the port."

This person's suggestion made Cruzo's eyes shine.

He didn't want to offend Dahua, and he was afraid of going to war with Dahua, but he was reluctant to give up this land.

Therefore, the last subordinate's suggestion was just right to his appetite.

"This is a good way. Alonso, you go to negotiate immediately and say that we are willing to help them with supplies."

Cruzo said.

Looney was noncommittal about Cruzot's choice.

He thinks, Hua Jun is obviously looking for excuses, either to be tough to the end, or to agree entirely, not to give Dahua an excuse.

However, Cruzo is the supreme commander, everyone can only follow orders.

Alonso was ready to negotiate, but it was too late.

The Huajun's ultimatum is only a routine matter, so that it can be a bit of rhetoric when arguing with the Dutch in the future.

In fact, the impact of this process is not particularly large.

In the end, negotiations failed and the Chinese army launched an offensive.

The transport ship stayed outside, and the three warships broke into the port directly, and then began shelling at the Dutch shore defense artillery.

As for the Dutch buildings in the port, the Chinese army was not prepared to destroy them.

It is a pity that I have to rebuild after the destruction.

As long as you occupy this place, everything here will be yours in the future.

The sound of the cannon stunned Alonso, who was just about to board the ship, and also frightened Cruzo.

What he is really afraid of is what he is most afraid of is going to war with Dahua.

As a result, Dahua really used force unreasonably.

"Damn, these sinister and despicable Orientals."

Cruzo cursed.

"My lord, it's more important to fight back now."

The subordinate reminded.

Cruzol was cold, and quickly arranged a counterattack mission.

They have some advantages on the shore.

As long as the Chinese army can be prevented from coming ashore, or the Lingbao can be held so that the Chinese army cannot be supplemented with supplies, the Chinese army will have to retreat.

It is extremely difficult for a lone army to fight overseas.

They all paid a high price for grabbing this place from the natives.

Therefore, even if they knew that Dahua's weapons and equipment were very advanced, Cruzo and others were not completely without confidence.

In their view, as long as they play well, they still have a lot of opportunities.
