The Ming Dynasty visiting fleet was parked in Batavia for two days and then set off. They came here just for the convenience of a trip to the Netherlands. After all, no one led the way. I don’t know that our Ming Dynasty is "really" trying to be friends with them.

On the dock, Cohen waved goodbye to the Ming Dynasty's visit to the fleet, and it felt like he was reluctant to leave him after not seeing him for many years.

"Sir, are they really just here to have formal interactions with us?" The butler looked at the Ming warship that was leaving, full of questions.

Cohen stood on the dock, looking at the back of the warship that was about to disappear, and then an inexplicable smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

So what, so what, so what if not.

If the Ming Dynasty really gets along with us, it will be good news for the Netherlands.

Because the Ming Dynasty was a powerful empire, it produced many goods we needed, so it would be better if this kind of force could not be enemies with it.

There were a few more ghosts around Li Xin on the No. 1 ship, one colonel officer, one Cohen's confidant or another nobleman.

Because I have to hurry, Li Xin cannot waste his time in this place.

Since the goal has been achieved, it is time to leave. After all, the distant Netherlands is their ultimate destination.

At the same time, Zeng Zeng also began the next action plan.

The Ming Dynasty Expeditionary Fleet was supplemented by Tianjin, and this time it added a main fleet plus 30,000 Marines.

So the plan to guide Luzon is finally about to begin.

This reinforcement is a part of the plan. First take the East Vanguard, and then start to attack Luzon after the East Vanguard is renovated. Now the plan has entered the second stage.

The headquarters of the Anping Ming Navy Headquarters of the Dongfan.

Pacific Navy Command Conference Hall!

"Commander Zeng is here!"

With a sound of standing up, the officers in blue naval uniforms present stood up from their chairs.

Zeng Zeng, wearing a straight navy uniform at the door, walked to his seat with unrecognizable relatives.

Seeing him standing in front of his seat, he looked at his subordinates on both sides.

"Read the orders of the Supreme Military Commission!"

"stand at attention!"

brush!

All the officers in the conference room straightened their backs again.

"Your Majesty's order, the second phase of the Nanyang Strategy has officially begun, and the Luzon Strategy has been launched! It's over!"

Zeng Zeng read it out and put the files into a folder and handed them over to his confidential secretary.

"Okay! The order has been read out, please sit down." Zeng Zeng stretched out his hands and made a downward movement towards the officers on both sides.

"Yes!" The officers present sat down neatly with a tidy brush.

Zeng Zeng looked around for a while and saw the officers sitting one by one with a strong fighting spirit, the war in his eyes was almost pouring out.

"Very good! Very good!" Zeng Zeng nodded suddenly. He was very satisfied with the fighting spirit of his subordinates.

That's what it should be. I, the Ming Dynasty, did not have a military officer who was afraid of war, but I had to have a spirit of daring to fight for benefits for my Ming Dynasty without fear of sacrifice.

Now Zeng Zeng saw this spirit in the eyes of these subordinates.

If civil officials are not greedy for money and military officials are not afraid of death, then my Ming Dynasty will last forever.

We military officers don’t know how to do anything else, but we can fight. Don’t be aware that our Ming Dynasty is still rich in resources and can support the people.

But these are all false. In the near future, I, the Ming Dynasty, will face the situation where the land is insufficient and the grain produced will no longer be enough for the people to eat.

Although the Ming Dynasty is large, the land is very embarrassing. Therefore, we soldiers are asking them to expand their territory and expand their territory. For our next generation to have a broad land, it is worth it even if we sacrifice it!

The officers here also understand this truth, so they are very eager to fight, which is why Zeng Zeng said it is very good.

"Soldiers, it's time for the Ming Dynasty and Your Majesty to need us, what should we do!" Zeng Zeng roared loudly.

"Use me in the first battle! I will win!" Dozens of officers roared out together, and the powerful sound wave even shocked the dust on the beams.

"The Ming Dynasty is a thousand victories! Long live Your Majesty!" Zeng Zeng raised his hands and shouted again.

"Long live Your Majesty! The Ming Dynasty is victorious!" Dozens of officers also raised their hands upwards with excitement on their faces.

This meeting was a pre-war mobilization. There was no need to say anything more. These officers had prepared in advance and were waiting for His Majesty's orders. Now that the orders were coming, their hearts were boiling.

"The army will set sail tomorrow!"

"You guys are prosperous in martial arts!" (This is a traditional Chinese vocabulary, not a Japanese vocabulary, they learned from us.)

The brief military meeting ended.

The soldiers act so skillfully and briefly. If it were a civil servant meeting, there would be some things to say.

First, a leader came up and made a few speeches. The leader simply said three points, and then two hours passed. The leader said the sixth paragraph of the fifth item of the third item of the first point.

Look at how direct the Navy’s meeting is. As long as it does not involve details, the meeting will be concluded in half an hour.

When the army set out, they specially chose a good day. Not only was it calm, but it was also an auspicious day. The perpetual calendar said that today is suitable for the army to set out.

Don’t ask why this appears on the perpetual calendar, it is because I need it in the Ming Dynasty. When it is needed, the perpetual calendar will appear.

This time, the Luzon Pacific Fleet used most of its power, with sixty main battleships alone. The flagship Bai Ze took the lead and then the other warships followed and left the port.

The expeditionary fleet had 108 warships, 150 supply ships, and 130 warships.

In order to achieve the smooth operation on land, this operation mobilized 30,000 Marines and the entire Marines of three divisions.

Didn’t the Spaniards say that they could destroy my Ming Dynasty by 5,000 people? Well, I gave me 30,000 people, and there was no other reason. I just wanted to see how your Spaniards destroyed my 30,000 people.

Hundreds of warships operated, and the sea level was filled with sails of warships.

This is already more than half of the naval assets of the Ming Dynasty at this time. In order to let them experience naval warfare, they should not just stay at their own homes. So no matter how many Spanish troops in Manila are, I have sent so many.

In fact, even if this fleet was pulled to Europa, it was considered very powerful. The Spanish Invincible Fleet back then had only more than 150 warships and more than 14,000 sailors. And the Ming Dynasty dispatched such a warship this time just to bully the Spanish.

Anyone who really believes it would be too naive.

This is a preparation for the third phase of the Nanyang strategy.
Chapter completed!
