"How is the situation now?" Commander Alfonso tried his best to act very calm in front of his subordinates!
"As you wish, we have got rid of those Mingguo people. Soon we can enter the Sulawesi Sea. After we get supplies of fresh water and food there, we can bypass Kalimantan and enter through the Java Sea. The Straits of Malacca!¡±
"Very good!" Commander Alfonso was finally relieved. He said while washing: "Dear Jose, please help me fill in yesterday's logbook. You see, I can't spare the time to do this now. matter!"
Adjutant Jose signaled the two sailors to go out first, then closed the door and said with a smile: "I am honored to do this for you, but my writing style is not as elegant as yours. I hope you don't dislike it!"
"Dear Jose, you are too humble, but I know that although you are from the civilian class, you are an elegant gentleman. I believe you will do a good job!" Commander Alfonso was indifferent to the compliments of his subordinates. With a smile, he was in a good mood now. He got rid of the pursuers and just waited for the opportunity to leave this damn place!
Adjutant Jose smiled shyly, then sat on the commander's chair and opened the thick logbook. However, when filling in the logbook, Adjutant Jose's eyes showed a trace of disgust. Pass!
Although wandering at sea is boring, thanks to the joy of the pursuers, time does not pass slowly. Commander Alfonso commanded the "Francis" to enter the Sulawesi Sea after half a month of sailing, and in An indigenous village was massacred on an island to obtain valuable fresh water and supplies!
At this time, Commander Alfonso has completely come out of the shadow of failure. In his conversation with Adjutant Jose, he has perfected his rhetoric when facing the king!
Commander Alfonso believes that these words can allow him to escape the punishment of defeat and become a respectable hero!
Of course, if he wants to become a hero, Commander Alfonso still needs to do one very important thing, which is to return to Europe and Spain!
In order to achieve his goal, Commander Alfonso has ordered the warship to turn. He will follow Adjutant Jose's suggestion to bypass Kalimantan Island and then enter the Strait of Malacca via the Java Sea!
"Ships! Three ships were spotted ahead. They looked like Galen ships, but we haven't seen the signs clearly yet!" When the "Francis" immediately rounded Kalimantan Island, the lookout shouted in horror, which made Ah Commander Fangsuo and all the crew members were nervous!
"Pay attention and see clearly where they are coming from!" Commander Alfonso shouted loudly!
"It's a ship from the Ming Dynasty, and a warship from the Ming Dynasty. They have discovered us and are rushing towards us!" The lookout's shouts were filled with fear, and this fear was spread to everyone!
"Oh God! These damn yellow-skinned monkeys are really difficult to deal with. How did they find us? Did God give them a tip?" Commander Alfonso's face turned pale instantly and his body was trembling slightly. It was obvious that he was already there Scared!
But extreme fear can sometimes lead to anger and irritable emotions. Commander Alfonso was obviously caught in such emotions at this time!
"Get ready for battle! Let those damn yellow-skinned monkeys see how powerful we are!" Commander Alfonso's voice echoed on the sea like a castrated tenor!
On the "Hai Jiao" opposite the "Francis", Han Siwen was in a good mood. Although his fleet was almost out of water, he was still in a good mood!
After completing the blockade of the Jin Army in North Korea, Han Siwen and Wang Hua led the Nanjing Fleet to Nanyang. Wang Hua led people to train in Nanyang, and he took the "Sea Jiao", "Sea Tiger" and "Sea Lion" The battleship went south to look for the big island Zhu Youxiao mentioned. After two months of sailing, Han Siwen finally found the big island and took people up to take a look!
What surprised Han Siwen and his crew was that, as His Majesty the Emperor said, the big island was boundless, with fertile land, covered with forests and grasslands, and there were also big rats jumping on two legs and lazily eating leaves on the trees. Little Bear!
And there are actually people on that big island. Although those people's lifestyle is very primitive, and even their language mostly uses gestures, but they are indeed people!
After staying on the big island named Nanhuazhou for half a month, Han Siwen couldn't wait to leave there with his fleet. He wanted to bring the news back to Ming Dynasty as soon as possible, so that all Ming people knew that there were still people on the sea. A piece of land larger than the Ming Dynasty can be cultivated and lived by the people of the Ming Dynasty!
But when returning, Han Siwen's fleet encountered continuous rainy weather. Although it was not a storm, the sun, stars, and moon were not seen for four consecutive days, causing Han Siwen's fleet to lose its way!
After the weather cleared, Han Siwen discovered that his fleet had deviated from the scheduled route, and the deviation was not just a little bit, but a full three thousand miles away!
This caused Han Siwen's fleet to miss the supply point, and also caused his fleet to be short of water and food. However, Han Siwen felt that he was very lucky today and encountered a large ship. He felt that he could get some food from this ship. Some food and water to get them out of an embarrassing situation!
As for how to get these things, Han Siwen doesn't care. Anyway, the way he obtains the materials will depend on the degree of cooperation of the other party!
Just when Han Siwen was thinking about how to show his friendliness and sincerity, the Galen ship flying the Spanish flag on the opposite side actually assumed a fighting posture!
Han Siwen let out a sigh of relief when he saw this. This was his favorite way of contact, simple, straightforward, and non-sloppy!
"Instruct the 'Haihu' and 'SeaLion' ships to outflank, and our ship 'Haijiao' to charge. Be careful, don't sink that ship!" Han Siwen gave the order with a cold smile on his lips. Your own order!
Han Siwen, who was born in the cavalry, has never been able to get rid of the habit of fighting and charging. In his opinion, the enemy must be defeated by brave charging on the grassland, and the same is true on the sea. This is essentially different between him and Wang Hua!
On the vast sea, four warships charged against each other. Both sides showed perseverance and determination, but the Spaniards with only one warship looked more tragic. They were really like bulls charging towards the matador's sword at this time!
Regarding Commander Alfonso¡¯s reckless move, even First Officer Jose did not stop him because he was also desperate!
The careful avoidance for more than ten days finally came to nothing. The persistence of the Ming people can be compared with their cunning. Since all the people of the Ming Dynasty have found this place, the blockade of the Strait of Malacca must not have been lifted!
Rather than escaping furtively, now is the time to show off your bravery. However, First Officer Jose vaguely felt that something was wrong, but at this time, he didn't have time to think about it carefully!
Although the speed of the Galen ship is only about nine knots per hour, if it is hedging, this speed will quickly bring the two sides into combat distance!
Almost at the same time, Commander Alfonso and Han Siwen's warships made steering movements at the same time, so that the two warships formed a parallel line, and the other two Ming warships went around to the outside, forming a pair of "Francis" surrounded by!
Boom¡ª¡ª
Boom¡ª¡ª
Boom¡ª¡ª
At a distance of three hundred steps, Han Siwen's ship "Hai Jiao" took the lead in firing. The five-pound solid shell, propelled by gunpowder, flew quickly towards the "Francis" on the opposite side! (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
