Chapter 423 Arms Race x Naval Battle
Soon, Executive Officer Fan Long went to the [Navy Branch 173] in person to negotiate with Colonel Taylor and Lieutenant Colonel Arias.
He had the most contact with these two people and they were very familiar with each other.
When they saw Fan Long, Colonel Taylor and Lieutenant Colonel Arias both had the illusion that they were in another world.
After a brief exchange of greetings, the two sides began to get down to business.
Since they had already decided to join the Kingdom of the Netherlands, the two of them were tactful enough not to make any requests.
The two were also quite satisfied with the treatment and arrangements offered by the Kingdom of the Netherlands.
This shows the respect that the Kingdom of the Netherlands has for them.
Colonel Taylor and Lieutenant Colonel Arias looked at each other and immediately nodded in agreement.
At this point, the [Navy Branch 173] was officially incorporated into the [Kingdom of the Netherlands].
All navy personnel except the insect people will be arranged to join the navy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands after being implanted with [biochips].
Of course, if you don't want to join the army, you can leave on your own and the Kingdom of the Netherlands will not try to keep you.
From the huge [Navy Branch 173], only twenty to thirty naval soldiers left in the end.
Xia Jieren didn't care at all about where they were going.
After all, in his opinion, it is difficult for small fry to influence the direction of the war.
What ultimately determines the outcome of the war will depend on the logistics, technology, and high-end combat capabilities of both sides.
Xia Jieren was not surprised by the choice of Colonel Taylor and Lieutenant Colonel Arias.
After taking a look, he stopped paying attention.
To be honest, whether Colonel Taylor and Lieutenant Colonel Arias join the [Kingdom of the Netherlands] does not have much impact on the [Kingdom of the Netherlands].
On this day, [Navy Branch 173] officially became famous.
The news soon appeared in the local newspaper of [Xi Hai].
Not only that, this news even had a place in the newspaper of the World Economic News Agency.
However, except for the navy who felt a little aggrieved, everyone else was used to it.
Because not long ago, the naval branches near the [Jade Kingdom], [Lidi Kingdom], [Divok Kingdom], and [Bakt Kingdom] were wiped out.
[Navy Branch 169], [Navy Branch 171], [Navy Branch 174], [Navy Branch 177]······
At this point, the [Kingdom of the Netherlands] swallowed up nearly one-sixth of the [West Sea].
Seeing such an aggressive [Kingdom of the Netherlands], all the countries close to the [Kingdom of the Netherlands]'s sphere of influence were in a state of panic.
Under the dual oppression of the [Kingdom of the Netherlands] and the World Government, the [White Tiger Chamber of Commerce] suffered attacks either overtly or covertly.
In addition, under the leadership of the [Flower Kingdom], the countries of the [West Sea] started a new round of arms race.
This is a good opportunity for Deep Blue Route and Hydra Group.
Xia Jieren didn't stop him either.
They would never have imagined that the weapons they spent huge amounts of money to purchase and transport were all provided by Xia Jieren's forces.
What no one expected was that the [Golden Lion Empire] and the [West Empire] also joined in.
Xia Jieren thought they would just lick their wounds quietly.
After all, the war between the two sides has become increasingly fierce with the instigation of forces such as Xia Jieren and the World Government.
Up to now, they have not recovered much of their strength, and instead have been in constant conflict along the long and narrow border.
......
Time flies, and three days have passed in the blink of an eye.
In the newspapers, [Kingdom of the Netherlands] is still very popular.
After being silent for a few days, the navy began to send warships on a small scale to test the Kingdom of the Netherlands.
"My Lord, they must be trying to test whether we still have that kind of weapon!" Kerrigan chuckled.
Then, she hugged Xia Jieren's head, buried it between the peaks, and asked in a tender voice: "How is it? Do you want to intimidate them again?"
"Why use a sledgehammer to kill a chicken? Let the Dutch Navy handle this little trouble themselves!" Xia Jieren narrowed his eyes slightly, enjoying the softness of the back of his head.
"Yes, Lord Dominator!"
Next, the [Netherlands Navy] and the [Navy] started a very ordinary naval battle.
Of course, if it weren’t for the various Zerg units active on the battlefield, it would still have the flavor of the naval battles of the Great Pirate Era.
Seeing the [Netherlands Kingdom] accept the challenge, for some reason, the Navy Headquarters and the World Government felt a little relieved.
This shows that such extremely terrifying weapons cannot be used so casually.
Therefore, the naval generals were ready to make a big move to wash away the shame of the navy.
As for losing, sorry, that’s not even within their consideration.
What a joke! Their navy is one of the best naval experts, and they have a lot of experience in naval warfare.
Unlike the other naval generals, the naval top brass still looked gloomy.
Combined with the intelligence they obtained about the Kingdom of the Netherlands, they did not have much confidence in the navy.
The final result was not what they expected.
The naval commanders rushed forward and set off with full confidence.
Soon, he was beaten all over his head and fled back in embarrassment.
A vice admiral said angrily, "Damn it! There's no way we can fight this!"
"The guns in the [Netherlands Kingdom] warships not only have a longer range and greater power, but also load so quickly!"
"Don't the gunners of the Dutch Navy feel tired?"
"Tsk~, stop talking! Our ship was attacked by a group of flying dragons before it even entered the firing range of the [Netherlands] warships."
"They are on high ground, and bullets can't penetrate their defenses."
One person took over.
"You guys are useless!"
"My warship engaged in a boarding battle with the [Netherlands] warship."
"However, the guns used by the Dutch Navy are too powerful."
"Not only can it fire continuously, but it can also change magazines very quickly!"
"As soon as we met, we were knocked down, and then we were suppressed to the point where we couldn't even raise our heads."
Another vice admiral said aggrievedly.
He felt very aggrieved, but he couldn't say it.
The navy sent out warships one after another, but without exception, none of them could enter the waters of the [Kingdom of the Netherlands].
Xia Jieren is not serious yet, otherwise they won't even be able to cross the [Calm Belt].
As time went by, many navy officers suffered psychological trauma from the Kingdom of the Netherlands.
Marshal Zhan Guo saw that the situation was not good and immediately ordered the admiral to go out.
Admiral Akainu volunteered and vowed to raze the [Netherlands Kingdom] to the ground.
So he led a fleet of 20 ships and set off with high spirits.
Seeing the navy admiral approaching, Xia Jieren did not dare to be careless and directly greeted him with [Nuclear Bomb Bug].
When the [Airship Bug] appeared in the sight of the navy fleet, Sakaski's face changed and he shouted, "Retreat!"
"Admiral Akainu?" Everyone was puzzled.
"Retreat!" Sakaski shouted.
"Yes!" Seeing this, the navy did not dare to delay and quickly turned the rudder.
Xia Jieren looked at the picture showing 20 naval warships turning degrees, feeling somewhat confused.
