Germanic Empire: Please call me Wilhelm III

“General Andrew, Her Majesty has issued an order for us to recapture the gold mines stolen by the Germans. Next, it’s up to you. “Governor Alexander Frederick was excited.

In his opinion, once the gold mine was recaptured and the entire gold mine was placed under the administration of the Dutch Spice Islands colony, he would be able to reap a lot of benefits.

Therefore, this time he jumped up and down, actively persuading the country to take a tough approach against the Germanic Empire.

“Your Excellency, I can only deploy two infantry regiments for the attack on the gold mines. However, it is difficult to say whether it will be successful. The situation would be much better if more reinforcements could be sent from home. Major General Andrei’s brows furrowed tightly.

He did not believe that the use of force by the Germanic Empire was the right choice. It’s just that he is a soldier, so naturally he has to obey orders as his duty.

“Don’t worry, General Andrei, reinforcements will be sent from within the country to support you.” Governor Alexander Frederick said.

“General Konas, the navy side must fully cooperate with the army. But don’t destroy the port. In the future, the ore we extract from the gold mine will also need to be transported out of the port. Governor Alexander Frederick instructed.

“Yes, Your Excellency, Governor.” Major General Konas nodded.

The Kingdom of Holland deployed a fleet in the Spice Islands, but it was not large, only eight warships. The largest is nothing more than an armored cruiser with a displacement of more than 7,000 tons. The rest are protected cruisers or unprotected cruisers. With such strength, there is undoubtedly no problem with suppressing the natives of the colonies. However, if it was used to fight the German Imperial Navy, it was far from enough.

“General Andrei, your troops are the same, try not to destroy the mines’ facilities and railways. We want to receive the mine as intact as possible. In this way, after we take the mine, we can mine. Governor Alexander Frederick said.

“Yes, Your Excellency, Governor!” Major General Andrey replied.

Immediately, the Far East Fleet of the Dutch Navy escorted more than ten merchant ships and left Batavia and went straight to the island of New Guinea.

The Germanic Empire has long been monitoring the every move of the Dutch people.

As soon as the Dutch army was dispatched, the intelligence officers immediately reported to the country by telegram.

When August learned of this, he immediately ordered the army to prepare. At the same time, an order was given to the mine side, requiring the mine’s convoy to be combat-ready. The Far East Fleet of the German Imperial Navy was also ready to attack and take out the Far Eastern Fleet of the Dutch and solve the Dutch troops in one fell swoop. In addition, infantry stationed in Kaiser Wilhelm’s territory and the Bismarck Islands were also ready to board ships to reinforce the gold mines.

On the afternoon of March 23, the army of the Spice Islands of the Dutch Kingdom, led by Major General Andrew, arrived in the port of Timuca.

The mine guards were not deployed here, which allowed the Dutch to occupy the port almost bloodlessly.

Subsequently, the Far Eastern Fleet of the Kingdom of the Netherlands cruised in the nearby seas, and Rear Admiral Andrei led the army to rest for one night, and the next day began to attack in the direction of the mines.

It’s just that Major General Andrei did not realize that the mine convoy was already ready on their way forward and was waiting for them.

At the same time, the Germanic Imperial Naval Expeditionary Fleet was also approaching this sea area.

“General, the Germans are so abominable, he has stolen a lot of our gold mines over the years! If there are these gold mines, then we don’t know how much our salary can be raised. “On the armored cruiser ‘Batavia’, an officer of the Dutch Kingdom Navy was very dissatisfied.

Major General Konas shook his head: “The Germans were able to find this gold mine, it was the luck of the Germans and the strength of the Germans. I heard that when the emperor of the Germanic Empire found this gold mine, he was only a teenager and was just an ordinary prince. Unexpectedly, now the other party has become the emperor of the Germanic Empire and has become one of the most powerful people in the world. ”

“Hmph! Even if he is the emperor, he is a thief. Otherwise, the Germanic Empire would not have been so powerful. This time, we took back the gold mine, they don’t have so much financial support, let’s see how long they can still be arrogant. The officer snorted coldly.

Although the Germanic Empire is much more powerful than the Dutch Kingdom, these Dutch people are typical of asking for money and death.

Their eyes, almost fascinated by the glittering gold, will naturally behave very irrationally.

Unlike those officers, Major General Konas was a little worried.

He knew that the Germanic Empire would never give up the gold mines so easily. If the Kingdom wants to recapture the gold mine, it will not be so easy. If you don’t get it right, there will be a vicious battle.

And whether their army can successfully retake the gold mine, Major General Konass is also skeptical.

However, soon Major General Konass did not have the heart to worry about the Dutch Kingdom Army. Because, the Far Eastern Fleet of the Germanic Imperial Navy has already killed.

“Whoosh!”

The grim alarm sounded, and the naval soldiers of the Dutch Blue Kingdom rushed out of each cabin and rushed to their posts.

Rear Admiral Konas also came to the commander’s tower and searched the sea with his binoculars.

When he saw the rapid attack of the German Imperial Navy’s Sagittarius heavy cruiser, as well as the light cruisers “Overwatch” and “Hunting”, his expression was very ugly.

The heavy cruiser ‘Sagittarius’ is one of the “Constellation-class” heavy cruisers of the German Imperial Navy, with a displacement of 10,800 tons and equipped with three triple 210mm guns.

Whether it is firepower, defense, or speed, it is far from being comparable to an old warship like the armored cruiser “Batavia”.

Even the light cruisers “Shouwang” and “Hunting” are light cruisers with a displacement of more than 6,000 tons, which are definitely not comparable to the protected cruisers or unprotected cruisers of the expeditionary fleet of the Dutch Kingdom.

In this battle, the situation of the Far East Fleet of the Dutch Kingdom will become very difficult!

“The Germans came, ordered the ships, and prepared for battle. For the benefit of the kingdom, for the sake of Her Majesty, the Germans fought with the Germans! Major General Konass ordered.

“Yes, Your Excellency, General!” The officers and soldiers of the expeditionary fleet of the Holland Kingdom answered one after another.

In the face of strong enemies, they burst out with great courage. However, it is very difficult to say whether the next battle can be won.
