Tang Ruowang looked at Maier with some suspicion. How could he allow himself, a middleman, to join in such a pre-war meeting?

Unless, you are not allowed to go back for a short time?

Seeing that Maier didn't speak and Charles just smiled to himself, Tang Ruowang shrugged and followed them to participate in the meeting indifferently.

On the other side of the coast, after half an hour passed, the regimental commander and staff gathered in the conference hall.

When he walked into the conference room, Chen Ye had already set up a projector and a curtain on the table, and was anxiously adjusting it.

The outdoor high-power battery pack that was conveniently placed supplied the projector with powerful direct current, radiating satellite images and traditional line drawings of the entire Toban Strait.

These satellite images were taken by a drone when Chen Ye came to Quanzhou before, and they were also taken by a temporary reconnaissance camera when the plane flew over and turned around.

As for the satellite images from later generations, they are not available for reference. Many details are completely different.

"As shown in the picture..."

"My dear friends, according to the shop owner's plan, he will go to the sky above Dongfan tonight to confirm the location of the laser beacon and the locations of various forts.

Waiting until tomorrow morning, the shop owner will use the Ming Dynasty's latest long-range weapon, the Ming Dynasty Home Guard 2F rocket launcher, to launch a divine punishment of destruction to the ports, warships, shore forts, city granaries, and city military camps in Dongfan.

I request that from now on, the entire navy enters battle preparations and all naval forces return to camp. Tomorrow at 03:00, we get up for dinner, and at 03:00, we officially set out for Relanze to capture Relanze, which has no warships or forts.

Zhilong, Shi Lang, are the Royal Navy ready?"

"Your Majesty, please rest assured that the Royal Navy has been preparing for a month, and now all supplies and ammunition have been distributed."

"General Zhihu, you are leading the Ming Dynasty's navy, and you will also carry out missions together. I only give you one night to mobilize, is that okay?"

"Guaranteed to complete the mission!!"

Although a group of people don't know what a rocket launcher is, it doesn't stop them from having full confidence in this war. No matter how bad it is, the legendary air force can bomb the harbor, right?

As long as they can bomb the seaport, they can log in with tens of thousands of people and tens of thousands of guns. In addition, Chen Ye bombed their barracks and sprinkled water on them.

Zheng Zhilong and Chen Ye had already started working on the entire action plan when Tang Ruowang came half a month ago.

There were drills on all the navy's equipment, supplies, inflatable landing craft, how to land on the island, how to persuade them to surrender after landing, how to arrange military control, and who to send to contact the natives.

"Also, please pass this on. Tomorrow, I will go with you. I will be wearing battle armor and charge on the front line with my Ming Royal Navy officers."

"What???"

"How can your Majesty, with his body of gold, go to a dangerous battlefield? Your Majesty, think twice!"

Except for Zheng Zhilong and Chen Ye, everyone else objected almost at the same time, especially a few eunuchs, who were even a little anxious.

"I have made up my mind, let's get ready."

Chongzhen waved his hand, he was still short of a serious battle, so he would use this personal expedition to report in the newspaper, regain lost territory, and capture foreign enemies. This was the best propaganda to inspire people.

On the other side, Tang Ruowang followed Maier and the others to the parliament hall in Relanze. His heart had calmed down. There were only two days left until September as mentioned in the ultimatum.

He wanted to believe that with Chen Ye's magical ability, it was not difficult to kill the two thousand mercenaries and tens of thousands of merchants on the island, so he could not be trapped here for two days.

Since the distance between the two sides of the strait is hundreds of kilometers, Quanzhou is already two hundred kilometers away from the coast, and the military parade in Quanzhou waters covers an area of ​​ten kilometers at best. The long coastline did not cause any concern on the Netherlands side.

Notice.

In the conference room, a group of nobles and company shareholders were quarreling with each other. Some suggested taking this opportunity to use the Ming army to go to sea as an excuse to eliminate the Ming navy and then directly attack the Ming country.

There are also suggestions to control the Ming Dynasty by the same method as controlling India. In short, they all want to plunder and have no idea of ​​retreat.

After Tang Ruowang talked to them for a few words, he lost interest. Instead, Maier and the others had a very heated discussion on how to swallow Zheng Zhilong with the current dozens of 'advanced' warships and hundreds of merchant warships.

During this period, after the Dutch people reached an agreement with Zheng Zhilong, their ambitions completely popped out. Their focus was no longer on doing business with the Ming Dynasty, but more on starting to occupy a piece of Ming Dynasty territory.

Compared with the lively discussions in the parliament hall and the leisurely preparations for war in Dongfan, the Quanzhou Naval Camp was already filled with a murderous atmosphere, with paper shells containing powder packets and projectiles forming projectile packets.

Then each person was assigned three 67-type wooden handle grenades. He Tao and the others begged Chen Ye to buy these grenades for one dollar each last time. There were too many. The comprehensive cost of environmental protection treatment was more expensive than letting Chen Ye take them away.

Much more.

Chongzhen also put on his training uniform, with a flintlock rifle slung on his shoulder, a projectile bag and grenades hanging on his waist, looking exactly like an ordinary soldier.

With Zheng Zhilong's company and the propaganda, the entire army was convinced that the emperor wanted to personally lead the expedition and join them in tomorrow's battle. This made the atmosphere in the entire camp almost aroused.

At 8:30 in the evening, as the sky gradually darkened, Chongzhen returned to the tent and prepared to rest. Zheng Zhilong and Zheng Zhihu were drinking outside the camp.

"Brother, does your Majesty really want to go into battle? If something goes wrong, we won't be able to explain it easily."

"Haha, do you still remember how I said how the Imperial Master came down?"

"Remember, I jumped out of the air and was still unscathed. I don't know if it's a human... Brother, what do you mean???"

Zheng Zhilong didn't answer, just took a sip of wine, nodded, and agreed.

"To attack Dongfan, there are three docks in total. Our Zheng family must show our value and send twenty ships to San María Port.

The Royal Navy probably wouldn't be able to send that many people to the port where the Habsburgs lived. The main force of our Zheng family couldn't go there, but there were less than a thousand people in San Salvador. It would be a great achievement to capture it.

I can feel that soon, the Royal Navy will no longer be under my control. Before that, we must earn some credit as soon as possible."

"What? Your Majesty, isn't this? Isn't this killing the donkey?"

"Killing the donkey? You see, His Majesty has always been friendly to the Royal Navy. The more money you pay, the farther away you will be from us.

In the final analysis, our old team members are not His Majesty's soldiers. We know this and His Majesty also knows this. Therefore, this is just an exchange. There will be other benefits in the future, so don't worry about it."

Zheng Zhilong's words brought Zheng Zhihu back to reality. As he said, without Chongzhen, the Royal Navy would still be the same as their old team. In the final analysis, the Royal Navy was strong because of the emperor, who only provided the catalyst.

"Okay, brother, you said last time that Sen'er was studying in a school in the capital, and now he has been granted a Jinshi status and has been given the rank of major?"

"Not yet. He will have to wait a month after the unified examination is completed before His Majesty will give him the corresponding military rank and honor.

However, what Your Majesty said about granting me the title of king has been confirmed. We are working on the back page. It is near the South China Sea and it is convenient to go home. When the time comes, I will get you a title."

"Haha, then I'll wait until my eldest brother gets promoted."

Zheng Zhihu touched the wine bowl, took a sip with Zheng Zhilong, and chatted about the details of tomorrow's attack on Guilao. Then he heard a roar in the air and slowly disappeared in the sea breeze.

"It should be the Imperial Master who went to investigate. Alas, these ghosts are pitiful."

Zheng Zhilong turned over the barbecue grill and said. Zheng Zhihu nodded and continued chatting. He was not worried about tomorrow's battle at all. How could he lose if the flying dragon rides on his face?

In the air, after Chen Ye set off from the shore on a rotorcraft, he turned into a small dot and flew alone in the sky, flying towards Dongfan.

As the altitude increased, the sound of the 120-horsepower engine of the rotorcraft gradually disappeared into the sea breeze. At an altitude of less than 200 meters, no sound could be heard on the sea surface.

An hour later, the rotorcraft, which had flown 189 kilometers at full speed, officially approached the Dongfan coast.

The dark Taitung Plain does not have the stars of later generations. There are only vague mountains and rivers and a slightly reflective coast. In this way, the entire height and the boundary between the sea and the land are very blurry.

But it doesn't matter. The rotorcraft is equipped with a ranging radar and an infrared night vision device. According to the radar reflection, the altitude can be determined, and the infrared can see the faint coast dividing line. After all, the temperatures of the two are different.

We continued flying southwest along the coast for more than a hundred kilometers, passing through several small towns and villages with obviously many weak lights, and finally a big city appeared.

This city is very obvious at night. It is built along the coast, with the towering spire of the huge Governor's Palace, and a strong European small town style.

Based on the flight time, Chen Ye felt that this place should be covered by Relan. He found the largest dock where ships gathered, and Chen Ye put on his helmet.

In the head-mounted display, a high-frequency wave with a special frequency was rising into the sky from a sailboat at the dock, which appeared extremely obvious in the head-mounted display.

"Ah, I found you, baby."

Chen Ye muttered, confirming that the laser positioning information was correct, and then began to fly along the entire coast at the laser positioning position.

The night vision telescope clearly looked at the forts below at a distance of two hundred meters. Every time he flew to a position, Chen Ye would slow down and stop, and send a message in the direction of Quanzhou.

The Netherlands has built a total of seven towns in East Fan, including the layout of the main city of Helanzhe, as well as two ports and one main port. There are more than 20 cannon turrets on the shore, but all this is not a problem, Chen Ye

Feedback one by one.

After collecting information from the shore, Chen Ye drove the rotorcraft back to the naval camp in Anhai Town.
Chapter completed!
