Chapter 1042

When he saw the Dutch style architecture on the coast of Manila, Eric suddenly felt a sense of joy for the rest of his life, and the fear brought to him by the night of the city of geranza was also slowly eliminated at this moment.

Stephen's expression was the same as Eric's. they didn't wait for the soldiers to return to the warship with Chinese rifles and machine guns and escape with them. Two thousand Dutch soldiers stayed in the city of geranque forever.

"We can't stay here too long. The Chinese imperial fleet and landing team will arrive here soon, and Manila is too close to mint Island, where there are Imperial troops."

Stephen reminds Eric that now he only wants to go to Jakarta, because from Jakarta, they can bypass Indonesia from the south to India without going through Malacca, but in this way, their voyage will be twice as long.

Eric had a heavy heart all the way. They had a good relationship with the Chinese Empire. He even went to Qingzhou to enjoy a good life in his spare time, but all this would be ruined by those stupid people in Congress.

Suppressing his anger, Eric said: "Mr. Stephen, since you dare to fight against the Chinese Empire, you have to understand the result you will bear. Manila is very dangerous, and JAGDA is also very dangerous. Congratulations to the Netherlands, we are going to lose everything in Asia. Go to hell, parliamentary idiots!"

Stephen's face was red and purple. He was also a member of Congress. Eric was scolding him in front of his face.

The surprise and frustration of the past two days also broke out at this moment. He cried: "you can leave the city of geranzha to serve the Chinese Empire. Why do you want to follow me? Oh, it's not too late for you to go back now."

"That's because I'm loyal to Holland, not you idiots." Eric didn't give in.

When they quarrel, six Dutch warships slowly enter the dock. Manila consul Simon is looking at them and shouts, "Hey, guys, what are you quarreling about? If you don't get off the ship soon, I've prepared lunch for you."

Hearing this sound, they stopped quarreling and got off the boat with a snort.

Walking up to Simon, Eric said, "Simon, how are you doing? After Chinese food, we are going to yageda. The fleet of Dayu will arrive here soon."

Simon's face suddenly changed and he said, "why? Have you... "

"Yes, you'd better ask Stephen about that." Eric doesn't want to talk about this topic. In order to govern the colonies in Asia, the Netherlands has sent a governor and two administrators. Eric is in charge of the city of geranque, Simon is in charge of Manila, and another is in charge of yagda. However, Eric has the most power, and both of them have to listen to him.

Stephen looked at Simon and nodded. "We don't have much time to prepare. The British and the French won't give us much time."

Simon looks complicated, he said: "but it's too hasty. If we leave now, we will lose a lot. We have been operating in Manila for many years, and we have important economic interests here, but the manors and mines are very valuable."

"There's no way." Eric said: "we are at war with the Chinese Empire. We can only stay here until we die. We will leave after lunch. We won't wait for those who don't have time to leave."

At the end of his speech, Stephen suddenly said, "Simon can't leave here yet. We need him to control the speed of the Chinese Empire going south, and the Allied forces need time to prepare."

Eric was furious. He pointed to Stephen and said, "isn't the death of 2000 Dutch soldiers enough? How many more Dutch do you want to see die? "

Stephen was also tired of Eric's attitude. At this time, he took out a power of attorney from Congress and said to Simon seriously, "Simon, Congress has granted me the right to deal with all affairs of the Asian colonies temporarily. Eric's right now is questionable. I ask you to arrest Eric now."

Eric and Simon's eyes were attracted by the red ink under the power of attorney, which is indeed the power of attorney of Congress.

Simon hesitated for a moment and finally said, "Eric, I have to obey the orders of Congress."

With a sneer, Eric shows his helplessness, and then he is controlled by Simon's soldiers.

Stephen's face was full of pride. He had enough of this arrogant governor of Asia. In his opinion, Eric was too inclined to the Chinese Empire, which was a cowardly behavior.

When Eric was taken away, Stephen said to Simon, "immediately mobilize all the soldiers in Manila to build a defense against the attack of the Chinese Empire. If you faithfully carry out my orders, I will apply to Congress for your return."

Simon's eyes suddenly lit up, long years away from home, in this place to live a boring life, Simon has long wanted to return to the Netherlands.

So he said, "Mr. Stephen, I'll try."

Stephen gave a satisfied smile, had lunch in Manila, and added food and fresh water. In the afternoon, he went to yagda with the fleet again.

There, the Dutch have the strongest power in Asia.On the dock, watching Stephen leave, Simon immediately comes to the prison and releases Eric.

Facing Simon with a strange smile, Eric shows a puzzled expression.

"Eric, you have to help me. Whether you can go back to Holland depends on my performance this time." Simon said faintly.

"It's impossible!" Eric sneers. In fact, he understands that Simon was sent here just to restrain him, because they are always on guard against each other.

Now in his hands, he did not feel a little sad.

Simon knows he doesn't have the ability to fight, but Eric has fought in the battlefield. That's why he needs Eric.

He said: "don't rush to answer. Think about your relatives in Holland. As long as we finish this battle, we can go back. If we can defeat the attack of the Empire, you and I will take more credit. Even if we are defeated, we can also escape to Jakarta. The Empire doesn't have the ocean we know about."

Eric's face is struggling. Now he is frustrated and his only wish is to be returned to Holland.

Thinking of this, he nodded, "well, I will help you resist the Chinese Empire, but before that, you'd better prepare a boat, or we will all die here."

"Of course, I've arranged for someone to go. Now you'd better see how to build a defense." Simon's eyes sparkled.

He is more greedy than Eric. One of the reasons why he stays is to secretly take away the gold he ransacked in Manila. At the same time, he wants to try to get the imperial firearms. In this way, his future will be bright.
