"Hand over the fleet, it's impossible!" In the cabin, under the dim light, in front of everyone, little Tromp looked terrifying.

He has a shaggy beard, his eyes are bloodshot, and he has a vicious look of choosing someone to eat.

The defeat was a great shame for him, and what was even more unacceptable was to surrender the fleet!

As the son of the former Dutch navy commander old Tromp, young Tromp grew up on a warship since he was a child. The warship is where his life lies. How can he give up his life!

Don't pay?

The South China Fleet has blocked the waters off Amsterdam, and the Army has occupied the fort in Amsterdam. Ten H210 heavy artillery guns are aimed at warships in the harbor. The Dutch are required to surrender the battleships and indestructible devices, and all of them will be handed over to the South China Fleet.

As for the Dutch officers and soldiers, they have been screened. It is conceivable that the officers will basically retire and can only absorb a small number of sailors into the Dutch New Wehrmacht.

The army that threw its head and blood drove itself out of the house, how reconciled little Tromp!

He gathered Cornelis Iverson and other high-ranking officers for a meeting. They were furious and determined not to hand over the warship according to the requirements of the Chinese!

There are three paths before them. The first is to fight the Chinese to the death and the life; the second is to defect to France; and the third is to sink in!

The first path is difficult, because William III has already sent someone to notify the officers and soldiers of the fleet, saying that peace is coming and everyone can be disarmed and returned to the field and go home.

The people's hearts are scattered, and the team is difficult to lead.

Moreover, the warships that fled back to Rotterdam did not have much combat effectiveness.

As for the second way, going to France, someone suggested, but no one has confidence in France!

The Dutch and the Chinese are fighting like this. The French are still standing still, saying that the time is immature and sitting idly by. The Dutch can see through these Catholic French people!

To take a step back, once it leaves the port, it will be caught by the South China Fleet and the result will be sunk.

There is only the third way, sinking!

"Burn all the warships and never leave it to the heretics!" Cornelis Iverson suggested.

"Yes!" Everyone agreed.

They decided to set fire to the warship, and the operation code was "Torch!"

Do what you say is easy to do. In the early morning of August 16, 1668, with the blast of "torch", 25 Dutch battleships and 37 cruise ships anchored in the port of Amsterdam, armed merchant ships. The sailors on the fifty-six ships left one after another. Before leaving, they threw torches on the ships and set them alight!

Fire is the enemy of wooden sailboats. At one point, a raging fire broke out on the ship, and the fire spread quickly across the ship. It was impossible to save!

In the city of Amsterdam, you can see the smoke rising from the port, knowing that something went wrong in the port.

When William III learned of the fleet's self-immolation, he sighed long!

He understood those naval thoughts very well, but the war was over, and all that was left was to clean up the mess and live his life well.

He sent a guard to apprehend relevant personnel. After all, the Chinese had appointed him to surrender the battleship. He could not surrender it. Someone must be responsible.

Little Tromp and Cornelis Iverson and other high-ranking officers rushed to admit that it was his own order. They must not let the Dutch fleet become the spoils of infidels, and all of them were impassioned and arrested their king's guard. Very sympathetic to them.

Huntelaar, who has been promoted to Marquis, asked: "How does your Majesty deal with them?"

"It is necessary to satisfy the Chinese people without hurting the hearts of the people, what do you think?" William III asked rhetorically.

"They burned the warship, they can be punished for the crime of damaging national assets and sentenced to exile!" said the Marquis of Huntelaar.

"It can only be so!" William III smiled bitterly.

In the end, the court ruled that Tromp and Cornelis Iverson and other high-ranking military officers were exiled to the Dutch colony on the west coast of Africa. However, such a disposition did not satisfy the Chinese. Liu Tichun, the military representative in the Netherlands, found it. The Marquis of Huntelaar questioned: "They burned the battleship that should be handed over to the empire. This is a violation of the military order and shall be cut according to the law!"

The Marquis of Huntelaar pressured and said angrily: "When we signed a treaty with the empire, the Dutch army no longer existed. Why did you disobey the military order?"

"They are just a group of custodians guarding state property. They no longer have the status of a soldier, so they are not violating the military order!" Marquis Huntelaar argued.

Liu Tichun laughed abruptly: "For their mentality, I am also a soldier. I understand them very well. The army that fought for them has failed. I have to hand over the weapons to the enemy, and I am willing to cooperate! "

"My lord..." The Marquis Huntelaar was slightly surprised when he didn't expect him to say such a thing.

"So you have to do more political and ideological work!" Liu Tichun tirelessly explained to the Marquis of Huntelaar the relevant content of political and ideological work, telling him: "Do more work, do more work, tell your people, China The Dutch war is over, you have to rebuild your homeland, and you have to beware of other enemies."

"Other enemies?" asked the Marquis of Huntelaar.

"Like France!" Liu Tichun said straightforwardly.

The Marquis of Huntelaar nodded silently, and now he is making peace with the Chinese. On the contrary, the French have become a confidant of the Dutch. It is conceivable that once the Chinese start a war against France, it is very likely that the pond fish will be affected. Catholic France has absolutely nothing to do. Reasons to attack the Protestant Netherlands!

Therefore, the new Royal Dutch Army was reorganized, with 50,000 people. Most of them came from the inland areas, where there was not much invasion by the Chinese, and they were not so disgusted with the Chinese.

The Chinese sent political officers to the army to intensify their brainwashing.

The stock exchange in Amsterdam reopened, and the Chinese injected three million silver dollars into it. As a result, the stock market went red. Everyone of uukanshu.com stockholders is smiling.

The Chinese also provided loans of millions of silver dollars to the Netherlands to build infrastructure, and the Dutch actively participated in work and were paid.

The new Dutch trade fleet set sail. In addition to the fleet to the New World, it also included the fleet to South Africa, sending three thousand new immigrants there.

According to the "Treaty of Peace and Friendship between the Holy Roman Empire and the Kingdom of the Netherlands", the Dutch received national treatment and they could easily join the South China Empire.

There is also a fleet that arrived at the Imperial City of Rising Sun, the Dutch called Batavia!

The smoke of the war dissipated and life continued. The Dutch found that the Chinese were not difficult to get along with. They had an attitude of “seeking common ground while reserving differences”, respected the Dutch customs and religions, did not impose any excessive taxes, and practiced fair transactions. The **** of the Chinese in Europe was gradually recognized by the realistic and rational Dutch.

Mr. David did not rush to attack the Netherlands after winning the Great Yarmouth Port South China Sea battle. In the end, the Netherlands surrendered on its own and avoided further casualties. He was commended by the court. People said that his actions were like when Cao Cao attacked Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang in Jizhou. Slowly attacking Yuan Shi, promoting internal changes, and getting a good result is exactly the same!
