The meeting was presided over by Earl Van der Vaart Huntelaar, the uncle of William III. First of all, everyone listened to the reports from the army general Henry Anderson and the leader of the Civil Defense Dassault Sneijder, who were responsible for shore defense in order to deal with the hateful Chinese. , They tried their best, but unfortunately the effect was minimal.

The Dutch were fully mobilized and invested a lot of money to form the National Defense Forces of the Dutch Republic. In addition to self-made weapons, they also bought weapons from France and Germany at high prices, and their rifled gun equipment rate reached a staggering percent. Thirty, there are many artillery.

In addition, all personnel from the seven provinces of the Netherlands Union Province were mobilized to form a militia, which can be called a militia.

Once the Chinese came, the Dutch fought vigorously, and none of them retreated, and none of them were spoiled!

They fought a full 80 years of war with the Spaniards in order to fight for freedom. Today, they can also continue to fight.

However, the figures show the heavy losses of the Dutch.

The city of Scheveningen lost a population of 32,000, most of which were women, and its seawalls and river dams were destroyed;

Den Helder lost 12,000 people, the city was burned, and its seawalls and river dams were destroyed;

Lelystad City, the loss of a population of 45,000, the city was completely destroyed, its seawall and river dam were destroyed;

The city of Felsen lost 9,000 people, the city was burned, and its seawalls and dams were destroyed;

In Hailuo Town, there were 3,700 people in the town, all of whom were arrested and sent to Shanghai by ship. This town no longer exists!

…

To sum up, as many as 100 cities and towns have been attacked in the Dutch Union Province, and the loss of the population is as high as 220,000. There are many cities and towns whose population and wealth have been packaged away!

The number is very large. The key is that the Netherlands is too close to the United Kingdom. The South China Fleet departs from Great Yarmouth in the east of the United Kingdom and reaches the Dutch coast with only 300 kilometers of sea. If it is winded, it can be reached one day and one night.

Both the offensive and the delivery of trophies are very beneficial. At the beginning, it was Mr. David from the United Kingdom who insisted that the empire must take the United Kingdom and turn the United Kingdom into the territory of the Chinese nation since ancient times. The fleet set off from the United Kingdom can threaten the entire Europe. The west coast is a great help to control the whole of Europe.

Yan Changwu adopted his opinions and reaped his benefits.

Now the Dutch people everywhere are overwhelmed, and many of them are retreating from the coastline for 30 miles, so that the Chinese cannot attack them and cannot rob them.

However, the homes were destroyed and the foreign trade channel was cut off, leading to soaring prices in the Netherlands, and the people are suffering.

"The Chinese fleet comes and goes quickly, and they are good at concentrating our troops to attack our weak spots. Even if we concentrate our troops, they don’t attack. They attack places that our troops can’t take care of, or they don’t come to attack us at all and just destroy us. , Every seawall has been demolished!" Henry Anderson hated the tunnel.

After hearing the report, William III turned his face and said to Druidel: "General Druidel, you know the situation today. The reason why the Chinese threaten our Union Province so much lies in their fleet. !"

"Yes, my lord!" Druidel said respectfully.

Although William III was not old, Druidel did not dare to neglect the high prestige of the Orange family. He settled down and reported to William III: "Our fleet is repairing the hull. The original plan was to set sail in two weeks. I limited them to complete the repair work in one week and be ready to set sail at any time to attack the Chinese fleet. At worst, they would not be too threatening to our coastline."

"Now we can use 102 battleships, I believe we can hit the Chinese severely!" said Druidel.

After all, the Netherlands is a big maritime country. When they were contending with the British navy, they only requisitioned a large number of merchant ships in 1652, and expanded the navy to 226 ships in one go.

Now William III has issued a national mobilization order to convert all major domestic ships into battleships, add artillery on the merchant ships, and change them to armed merchant ships. A total of 237 ships are used to attack the Chinese sea lines of communication and capture the British mainland. Return to the other body by the way of the other.

There is no shortage of sailors, as well as cannons, which are already hungry and thirsty, waiting to show off.

Military payments and supplies are still sufficient for the time being. William III took the lead and donated one million guilders (in 1667, the average annual income of the Dutch was only 200 guilders). For this money, he even sold all of his The only property left is this mansion gifted to him by the Dutch Republic, and he has no personal ownership and cannot sell it.

Now the house is empty, and all valuable things are sold. There is no tea to entertain the guests. They just drink boiled water.

The people also donated enthusiastically, donating gold, silver dollars, ships and materials to help the country tide over the difficulties.

William III made a vicious request, demanding that the fleet not only attack England, but even Scotland and Ireland, the Chinese accomplices.

Since I feel uncomfortable, let the world be destroyed together!

When the United Kingdom was divided, Ireland refused to send troops to help England, while Scotland sent troops to help the Chinese, thus splitting the United Kingdom.

All the Dutch people deeply agreed with William III's proposal. Several MPs declared that they were about to board the ship to participate in the naval battle against the Chinese and fight for the Netherlands.

Many parliamentarians are shipowners who have made a fortune through foreign trade. Now they return to their old professions and will soon be familiar with the "business".

Seeing the turbulent masses, William III was deeply gratified. He said to the people: "Under the guidance of God, we will be able to defeat the heretics from the east and win!"

Everyone nodded unanimously and said: "Yes!"

When everyone was talking about how to crack down on the Chinese, Earl Huntelaar saw Van Bronkohorst Robben, the governing concierge, looking at the door, his expression anxious and nervous.

There is an important meeting going on in the house, and Robben should know that he can't interrupt. Since he appears, there must be something important.

So Earl Huntelaar walked to the door and asked Robben: "What's the matter?"

Robben silently submitted an urgent report. After reading it, Earl Huntelaar couldn't help shaking his hands because of his familiar experience.

He showed it to William III, tears of the young ruling party couldn't help streaming down!

South Bayveland Island in Zeeland Province suffered a strong attack by the South China Army. The soldiers and civilians of Middelburg on the island defended the city. In the end, the city fell. Sixty-five thousand people of South Bayveland were looted and 15,000 people were looted. A Dutchman died in battle!

A full 80,000 people, this number is by no means a small number in that era, it should be noted that even the British Isles has a population of only 10 million, and South Bayfront is completely reduced to a barren area.

Zeeland Province is located at the southernmost tip of the Netherlands. South Beveland is a peninsula facing the sea on three sides. It is geographically favorable for attackers. The South China Army blocked the avenue leading to the inner road, and a large fleet surrounded South Beveland. Island, this is no longer packing a town, but a region!

William III couldn't hold back any more, stood up, drew out his sword and pointed at the heavens: "Blood debts and blood!"

All the Dutch people stood up and said angrily: "Blood debt is paid for!"

Soon, the Dutch armed merchant ships were dispatched, and like a swarm of wasps, they pounced on the Chinese ships on the sea and the British Isles!
