New Ming Empire mixed in America

"Otherwise..." The captain of the Ellercourt, who also saw those battleships in the distance, hesitated to speak.

However, Kao Xiren, the naval commander of the Far East Fleet, who was still holding the telescope, did not hear his words.

But when he put down the telescope, he said something that made the captain a little stunned:

"Otherwise, let's leave here. These Easterners have not violated our interests in the Far East..."

After being stunned for a long time, Jian Zhang didn't understand why his suggestion hadn't been uttered yet, so Commander Kaoxilun said it himself.

"Stop being stunned, have you seen those battleships in the distance?"

Pointing to the black smoke on the sea in the distance, Kao Xiren said cautiously:

"You have also seen the size of the Easterners' fleet. It can already match the main fleet of the Royal Navy of Great Britain."

"We have no conflict with them. The Spaniards are looking for death. I heard about their massacre of Qing people."

Cohillon only mentioned the Spanish in Manila. He did not even mention the battle that took place on the west coast.

Now Daiying's biggest enemy is not the Xinming Empire nestled on the west coast, but Nasan, who is only separated from Daiying by the English Channel!

Ever since the Xinming Empire released some information about the airship, Dai Ying's defense against Na San has been raised to the highest point.

Although the Xinming Empire did not deal with Dai Ying, it also destroyed one of their expedition fleets.

But the Xinming Empire, which was separated from Dai Ying by an entire America, was far less threatening than Na San right under his nose.

The Xinming Empire was wandering in the Pacific Ocean, and if Nasan used airships and fleets to attack Daiying's homeland, Daiying would be in danger.

In addition, the Far East's current attraction to Dai Ying is far less strong than that of India.

This place was originally regarded as a dumping ground for goods by Daiying, but although the population here is large, there are not many people with spending power.

Daily necessities are far less easy to sell than opium and luxury goods, and those highly profitable commodities are only in the hands of a few big capitalists.

This made other small businessmen and factory owners a little depressed. The Qing people would rather use their plants called bath beans to bathe than spend a small amount of money to buy soap.

Very few people in the Qing Dynasty could afford new clothes, so the sales of clothing here were not very good.

Orientals would rather eat the water boiled from those plants when they get sick than have their surgeons amputate their limbs.

There are many similar things, so here in the Far East, businessmen can only regard it as a source of raw materials.

But Daiying has colonies all over the world, so they have no shortage of raw materials.

Therefore, in the eyes of the British, at least in the eyes of Queen Victoria, the Far East is far less attractive than that strange country that is called the jewel in the Queen's crown.

What's more, their appearance here this time is just a regular patrol. If the old guy from the Brooke Dynasty hadn't been friends with him, they wouldn't even come here to join in the fun.

But now everything has changed. Although he really wants to return the favor, his own life and the foreseeable troubles are much more important than this favor.

So what happened next was a very strange phenomenon for Zhu Zhiwen, that is, the warships that had blocked them in front of them actually made a big turn and disappeared in front of them.

As soon as the British warships retreated, the Dutch's patchwork of armed merchant ships were exposed to Zhu Zhiwen's eyes.

Although he didn't know what the plans of the British warships were, at least his vanguard fleet now had the advantage.

The firing orders were issued one after another, and the coalition gunboats that had almost formed an encirclement trend were in trouble.

Just now, these guys who were just thinking about picking up some bargains by following the British fleet, suffered heavy losses under the attack of kiting tactics.

Of course, the ships that can be sunk by the fleet led by Zhu Zhiwen two thousand meters away are usually armed merchant ships temporarily guested by white merchants.

Only they would gather together to pursue Zhu Zhiwen's miniature fleet in a chaotic manner.

But those regular navies would not make such low-level mistakes.

Crowding together knowing that the opponent has an extremely long range of naval gun fire is no different from seeking death.

"Sir Consul, our current situation is not good..."

The captain of the gunboat on which the Dutch consul was riding tried to persuade this piece of shit politician on board.

"No, although I don't know why the British warships left, the number of gunboats we have available now..."

Although the Dutch consul is also a little uneasy, it is not clear who is benefiting from the current situation.

You must know that this time, in addition to the Dutch gunboats, there were also armed merchant ships that were voluntarily armed by greedy merchants.

But before the consul finished speaking, he saw the gunboats of the Brooke Dynasty that were originally responsible for the eastern waters also began to evacuate!

"Damn it, we have a large number of gunboats. As long as we get close to those Eastern warships and gunboats, we can use pole mines to sink them!"

He spat in the direction in which the Brooke Dynasty's gunboat left.

"Is the new regent named Charles' head rusty? You know, they just massacred that Eastern organization called the Twelve Lines Branch some time ago, and now they are retreating?"

"Didn't the cause of what those Orientals did in Manila come about because the Spaniards massacred the compatriots of that Oriental dictator?"

After gritting his teeth and cursing a few words, the consul did not understand how the Brooke Dynasty's fleet left without saying goodbye.

But when they finally spotted the fleet appearing in the distance, the consul finally knew why the other party did this.

With trembling lips, the telescope in his hand slipped from his hand to the ground without the consul noticing.

There was only one thought left in his mind at this time, and that was: 'It's over, the Dutch interests in northern Borneo are probably going to be severely damaged!'

After being stunned for a few minutes, the Dutch consul suddenly shouted like crazy: "Set the ship, we are leaving here. I now order you to escort me back to Java!"

Despite the ups and downs of his mood, the Dutch consul could still make the most accurate judgment.

Just now, they were absolutely overwhelming in terms of numbers, so he thought of completely sinking those Eastern gunboats.

But now...

"Don't contact those armed merchant ships. Let's go directly to Java. I'm going to personally report the information about the Orientals to Mr. Governor..."

There was hysteria in the consul's voice.

Ever since the main warships of the Xinming Empire's Pacific Fleet arrived, the Dutch consul knew that Bandar Seri Bega Bay could not be defended.

But their Dutch sphere of influence in Borneo was the Banyan Kingdom in North Borneo.

North Borneo is now lost, but the consul feels that the Netherlands will have a chance to get it back in the future.
