Chapter 389 The Flying Fish ship had a thousand materials, which was converted into a displacement of about one hundred and fifty tons, while the Dutch, even the smallest armed merchant ship, exceeded one thousand two hundred tons.The Exocet was too small, not as disparity as an ant or an elephant, but to Helena it was at least as disparity as a rabbit and a wolf.In the era of sail gunboats, there was no such thing as a small fight for a big one.Under normal circumstances, the confrontation between a third-class battleship with a displacement of 1,200 tons and a second-class battleship of 1,700 tons is almost without exception, that is, a second-class battleship is completely superior to a third-class battleship.When passing through the Strait of Malacca, the Venetians were obviously a big fat sheep, but this time the Dutch did not move, because they had the absolute power of the Explorer.The Explorer was armed with four seven-inch front-loading guns (about 233 mm caliber), and all the third-class battleships of the Dutch could be killed with one shot under the Explorer's seven-inch guns.Of course, the premise is that it needs to hit.Despite the extremely low rate of artillery hits in this era, what if?
No one can say clearly about the probability, even if there is only a 99 percent chance that it will not hit, but it is possible that a single shell will hit the opponent.The Venetian fleet came to Liaodong without danger, and the Explorer made great contributions.But now, Jeon Wook actually used a small ship like Exocet to meet the combined fleet of the Dutch, and in Helena's opinion, only a madman would do this.Helena had been on the deck of the Exocet, the deck of the Exocet was only three inches, as the deck of a ship, it should be enough, but as a warship, it was far from enough, unable to withstand the huge recoil of the ship's guns.This is the biggest flaw of the Exocet.In the case of an iron plate on the deck, a 105-mm field gun can be installed, but the power of the 105 field gun in naval combat is too small.Field artillery, the biggest advantage is because it is light and can be maneuverable."
Keep up!"
Helena ordered."
But......
Your Highness the Princess!
”"I said keep up!"
Helena looked at Aberg and said, "Listen to me, yes, we have helped everything, he will definitely not treat us badly, we in the Republic of Venice need the help of His Excellency the Count!"
”Aberg shook his head: "I must think about the interests of Venice!"
”"Aberg, you are so old, you don't have the courage of a knight!"
Helena said, looking into the distance with a disappointed expression.Aberg was anxious: "Set sail!"
”The problem, however, is that the Flying Fish has disappeared from view.That's right, due to the long and narrow hull of the Exocet and its speed, three to four knots faster than the second-class battleships of Venice, Quan Xu was led by the seals and followed by ten Exocets.This is all the naval combat forces of Quanxu, there is no way, although the Liaodong Naval Division has forty gunboats, but the Ming army's standard gunboats have eight guns, not to mention compared with the armed merchant ships of the Dutch, even Zheng Zhilong's gunboats are far inferior.Zheng Zhilong, who is now a guerrilla general of the Ming Dynasty's coastal defense, has more than 3,000 large and small warships, of course, these more than 3,000 large and small ships, most of them are dilapidated sailing ships, and his main warships are Junk ships, which have a load capacity of 600 tons, a crew of about 480 people, and are equipped with 24 naval guns.There are also blacktail ships equipped with eighteen artillery guns, bird boats, these main fleets, a total of more than 400 ships, can be said to be the strongest strength of the Ming Dynasty at that time, and the combat effectiveness is also the strongest naval force.Looking at the radar display screen on the seal, Jeon Xu frowned.Because as the distance got closer, the search of the observation radar became clearer, and the display of ships on the display screen was not the fifty or sixty ships that Helena said, but more than a hundred, almost one hundred or twenty ships, such a huge fleet, scattered over the sea surface of dozens of square kilometers."
Quan Shuai.All handsome!
”Just as Quan Xu was thinking, a familiar voice came from the walkie-talkie."
Mao Yuanyi?""
yes!""
Nonsense, why are you here?"
Quan Xu asked Yuan Zongdi to send someone to pick up Mao Yuanyi to the seal.After a short time, Mao Yuanyi came to the deck of the Seal.As the most important deck of a battleship, the deck of the Seal has been converted into a huge swimming pool with parasols.Looking at the steel ship of the Seal, Mao Yuanyi was slightly stunned, and it was too late to ask Quan Xu why the ship could be driven without sails, but it was modified like this by Quan Xu, which was a little heart-wrenching."
How did you get on Exocet Seven?""
I'm the Adjutant General of the Navy!"
Mao Yuanyi grabbed the teapot in front of Quan Xu, it was a burst of cow drink, and said for a while: "Quan Shuai, this battle is not easy to fight!"
”"I know, if it's not easy to fight, you have to fight!"
Mao Yuanyi smiled bitterly: "You don't understand, Zheng Yiguan is here!"
”"Zheng Zhilong?"
Quan Xu was slightly stunned: "No wonder the fleet of the Dutch is more than doubled, and he dares to mix with me and the Dutch?"
”"Zheng Yiguan has always been very close to the Dutch!"
Mao Yuanyi cried and laughed: "The Dutch must have promised Zheng Yiguan any benefits, and he will be involved!"
”"!"
Quan Xu said indignantly: "I'm really looking for death!"
”Mao Yuanyi thought for a while and said: "Zheng Yiguan values profit over righteousness, what the Dutch can give, we can also give, why don't I go and talk to Zheng Yiguan!"
”"No!"
Quan Xu shook his head and said: "United with the Dutch to fight against me, if he Zheng Yiguan dares to interfere, I will pinch him to death!"
”Mao Yuanyi shook his head and smiled bitterly, he didn't know where Quan Xu got his confidence."
Quan Shuai, this is an expedient measure!""
I don't care!
This is my bottom line, whoever dares to step on the line will clean up whoever I will clean up!
”Quan Xu took the walkie-talkie and began to give orders: "General Staff, General Staff!"
”Since it had not yet left the range of the radio station, the telecommunications room of the General Staff quickly responded: "The General Staff has received it, please speak!"
”"Immediately implement the Tianzi number plan!"
The Tianzi plan, that is, the landing plan formulated by Quan Xu and the General Staff before, at this time, Taiwan was jointly managed by Zheng Yiguan and the Dutch Xiyuya people.This time, Quan Xu opened up Taiwan by land.With the issuance of Quan Xu's order, the General Staff began to give orders to transfer twelve infantry regiments and six artillery regiments to Jinzhou, a total of eighteen regiments began to assemble.Formal preparation for the expedition.Mao Yuanyi knew that Quan Xu was stubborn, but she didn't expect Quan Xu to be so stubborn.In the face of absolute power, no stratagem is ineffective.The Zheng fleet and the Dutch fleet were more than a hundred ships, and there was no way to fight them at all.Mao Yuanyi was very pessimistic in his heart, even if the Second Fleet of the Liaodong Naval Division was transferred at this time, there would be no way to fight, and the advantage of the Dutch was too great.Mao Yuanyi smiled bitterly: "Quan Shuai, listen to my advice, this battle can't be fought!"
”"If you can't fight, you have to fight!"
Quan Xu said: "Order all the Exocet ships, accelerate immediately, and be sure to annihilate the forward fleet of the Dutch!"
”"Annihilation?"
Mao Yuanyi's eyes widened: "Even if we have eleven ships?"
”"That's right!"

Quan Xu pointed to the flying fish beside him and said: "Don't look at these flying fish are not equipped with naval guns, but they all carry a large number of mines, first greet them with mines, frustrate their spirit, and then find an opportunity to kill them with a hammer!"
”Mao Yuanyi was incredulous: "Are you really going to fight the Dutch?"
”"What do you think?"
Quan Xu pursed his lips and said disapprecitately: "They want to go to war, in fact, there is a reason, I don't detain their people, they will also go to war." ”"Why?""
It's easy!"
Quan Xu said lightly: "The wolf wants to eat the sheep, never worry about no excuse, it is I who detains the Dutch, if it is the British, they will definitely seek diplomatic means to solve it, they want to go to war, they just don't look at me, now I must let them know that my Lao Tzu is not easy to mess with!"
”Quan Xu is hanging, although because of Wu Di's affairs, he did not return to the afterlife, with the help of the advanced equipment of the later generations, but, don't forget, Quan Xu actually had a hanging at the end of the Ming Dynasty.That is the rocket artillery that has already been put into real combat.The only problem is that the Exocet are easily sunk by the opponent's naval guns as they reach the other side.So, Jeon Wook is ready to take a night fight.With the seal's advanced radar and drones, it acts as an eye and directs the flying fish to approach each other.The Flying Fish has a small hull and a small target, making it easier to get close to the target at night.Of course, this is like playing a game, Quan Xu has a one-sided perspective hanging, he can be discovered by the enemy first, and the enemy will attack first, but the enemy can't find him at all.In such a situation, it is not impossible to have more enemies with less.Ten Exocets were armed with four rockets with a total of 60 rockets, and there were 300 more in the cabin, and ten ships were 3,000 rockets, and even if a tenth of the rockets hit the target, the combined fleet of the Dutch would be completely destroyed.On the vast sea, more than 100 miles away from the seals, a tall warship is riding the wind and waves, full sails, looking at the shadows of the sails around it, covering the sky and the sun.On the Oak, the flagship of the Dutch Combined Fleet, Erwin wears an eye patch, and he looks less like the commander of the Combined Fleet and more like a pirate captain.Of course, the Dutch started as pirates, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he was a pirate captain."
No one has ever dared to despise the Dutch Empire like this, never!"
Erwin's originally white face has become as black as the sky in the Taiwan Strait.Now the Netherlands is enjoying the dividends of the Age of Discovery, the national strength is thriving, and the strength is so strong that Spain and France can wrestle with them, and they don't pay attention to other countries!
To say that Erwin lost his mind is not entirely true, at least his heart is not just for revenge.The development of southern Liaoning made him jealous, and if it was not for the huge dock, he would not be so anxious.But the huge dockyard, larger than any shipyard in mainland Holland, was the real trouble for the Dutch once it was a steady stream of warships
