General Van Peel straightened his messy clothes and said proudly: "I am the Commander of the Far East Fleet of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, Vice Admiral Marquis Van Peel Fernandez. Tell me, Governor General of the Ming Dynasty, how do you plan to end this? A war?"
The translator repeated General Van Peel¡¯s words, and Hong Chengchou said expressionlessly: ¡°Tell him that he and his men must surrender unconditionally, otherwise I will use muskets and cannons to end this war!¡±
Hearing the demand for unconditional surrender, General Van Pel's eyes kept twitching. He brought not only more than a thousand soldiers, but also more than 30 warships. Those warships are now parked in Manila Port!
If the supreme commander of the Dutch fleet surrenders unconditionally, those warships will also be taken away as trophies by the young and terrifying Akito in front of him. This will not only cause the Netherlands to completely lose its interests in the Far East, but will even be a threat to the entire Dutch navy. A disaster!
"Impossible!" General Van Pel thought of the terrible consequences of losing the entire Far East Fleet, and he shouted with giggling: "As a nobleman of the Kingdom of the Netherlands and an excellent naval admiral, I can't do anything if my troops are not fully Accept this condition without losing combat effectiveness, but I can promise you that the Netherlands will withdraw from the United Fleet and recognize the Ming Dynasty¡¯s occupation of Manila, and I must leave with my soldiers and battleships!¡±
"So you will agree to surrender unconditionally as long as your troops lose their combat effectiveness?" Hong Chengchou sneered and said directly in Dutch: "Then I am honored to give you this opportunity!"
Before General Van Perl could react, Hong Chengchou waved his hand and the musketry team that had been prepared opened fire!
With the sound of gunfire like exploding beans, the Dutch pikemen fell to the ground!
"Oh God! Their muskets are so powerful at a distance of twenty-five Rhine feet (traditional Dutch measurement unit, 1 Rhine foot ¡Ö 3.76 meters). Who the hell is this idiot who says these Ming people are the same as those South American natives? Are they all from uncivilized savages? If I meet him, I will definitely put him in Akito's gun barrel and let him see how uncivilized savages can create such a terrifying weapon?" General Van Pel. He cursed in frustration, but it didn't help!
Bang¡ª¡ª
Bang¡ª¡ª
Bang¡ª¡ª
There was another round of gunfire, and more than twenty Dutch soldiers fell into a pool of blood. The dead soldiers fell to the ground, but the injured soldiers kept wailing and screaming, and the faces of the soldiers who were not hit were also exposed. The deep feeling of despair and fear!
"Onboard! Onboard! Onboard!"
When the Japanese saw this scene, they raised their Japanese swords high and howled happily!
"For the sake of God, stop it!" General Van Pel finally couldn't stand it anymore. He shouted loudly: "I am willing to surrender unconditionally, but please promise not to hurt my soldiers again!"
Hong Chengchou raised his hand and the musketeers stopped shooting!
"General Van Perl, please pay attention to one thing. We are civilized people, more civilized than you, so as long as you surrender, your lives will be guaranteed. However, according to the will of the great Emperor of the Ming Empire, All prisoners of war will become slaves, so you will also become slaves!" Hong Chengchou smiled harmlessly, but what he said made all the Dutch blush!
"No!" General Van Peel roared: "You can't do this. I am a noble and my soldiers are free men. You cannot enslave us just because you have won. If that is the case, I would rather lead them to fight." die!"
Hong Chengchou obviously would not be so kind for the sake of hundreds of Dutch people. The reason why he spoke patiently to General Van Pel here was mainly because he needed General Van Pel to issue an order for the Dutch fleet to surrender!
Now that General Van Peer was on the verge of collapse, Hong Chengchou pretended to be indifferent and said: "General Van Peer, we live in a great and bastard era. In this era, some people will become famous and some will have nothing. But I think that at least as long as people live, they have the hope of success and fame. If they die, they will truly have nothing. So life or death is a question that needs careful consideration. I will give you a quarter of an hour to consider this profound question. Your answer in a quarter of an hour will determine the life or death of all of you!"
General Van Pel was silent!
His heart was like the stormy waves in the sea, constantly surging!
As Hong Chengchou said, life or death is a question, and it is a crucial question!
"General, we got wrong information. We thought we were fighting a group of natives, but you see??, these Ming people have better muskets than us, which is the root cause of our failure, so the failure is not your fault, but keeping the remaining soldiers alive is the responsibility you must bear! "An aide-de-camp of General Van Peer saw his boss's hesitation and said such sincere and reasonable words!
"Huh!" General Van Perl let out a long breath. He looked at his deputy, patted the young man on the shoulder and said: "You are right, I should try my best to let the remaining people survive, even if this will My honor has suffered irreparable losses, but I must shoulder my responsibilities!"
Finished!
General Van Peel took off his sword, held it in front of his chest, walked up to Hong Chengchou and said: "Dear Governor, although I hope to defend my dignity with my life, I still have the opportunity to see these soldiers. To their families, I decided to give up my honor and surrender to you unconditionally. I hope you can keep your promise and ensure the safety of my soldiers!"
Hong Chengchou took General Van Perl's sword and said solemnly: "From now on, you, your soldiers and warships are the property of the Ming Empire, especially you, General Van Perl. I will send you to the Ming Dynasty." Capital, and give you as a gift to His Majesty the Great Emperor. I believe our Majesty will like this gift, but now please order your fleet to surrender!"
"Huh!" General Van Pel exhaled, and said to the deputy beside him: "Go tell the soldiers on the battleship that the Netherlandssurrendered!"
Commander Alfonso is in a dilemma on the sea. He now doesn¡¯t know whether to abandon the Dutch and leave immediately, or to wait for the Dutch to leave together!
As for entering the Manila Port to reinforce the Dutch, it is not within Commander Alfonso¡¯s choice, because as long as any fleet enters the port, it will be a dead end!
Just when Commander Alfonso was wondering whether he should abandon his allies, the seventeen Dutch warships docked in Manila Harbor all lowered the Dutch flag and then raised the white flag!
Seeing this scene, Commander Alfonso wanted to eat General Van Peel alive, but now no matter how angry he was, it would not help. The Dutch surrendered, and he was fighting alone. The only thing he could do now was to retreat. !
"Leave here!" Commander Alfonso said sadly: "We have failed. It is probably an impossible task to retake Manila?"
"A large number of Ming warships were discovered in three directions, and we are surrounded!"
Suddenly!
The lookout gave a shrill and trembling roar, which made Commander Alfonso feel as if he had been poured a basin of cold water on him for three-nine days, and his whole body was chilled to the core!
