Back to Ming Dynasty with Industrial Revolution System

Chapter 712 Assassination
Batavia is the headquarters of the Dutch East India Company in the Far East, and also the headquarters of the newly organized East India Coalition Forces of the Dutch.Spaniards and Francois have seats here.In particular, after the representative of Franz learned that the Kyushu Army had attacked the Strait of Malacca, he urged the Dutch and the Spaniards to support Malacca.

In a few days, the news that Manila was blocked by the Kyushu Army reached Batavia, and the Spanish representative also went crazy.

"I request immediate troops to rescue us in Manila! Luzon Island is the only place to pass through to the southeast coast of Japan and China. If Luzon Island is lost, our future trade in the Far East will be greatly affected!" The Spanish representative vigorously He slapped the wooden table and asked the East Indian Allied Forces to support Manila.

"Our Dutch fleet has already set off to support Malacca. It is useless to urge you. Malacca was attacked by the Kyushu Army in advance. When the news from Manila came, Batavia had no ships to fight." The director of the East India Company said helplessly.

"Damn Orientals, where do they come from so many warships that can attack Malacca and Manila at the same time! I knew that the governor would not let the governor support Malacca, but went straight to attack Hoi An Port occupied by the Kyushu Army! They came out in full force, and the rear sea area must be If it is empty, if it is a surprise attack, it will definitely win the battle." Another director said.

"What's the use of saying this now, we don't have any warships anymore, the Easterners are starting to rise, and Europe is still fighting! Now we can only hope that Malacca will be relieved as soon as possible, and then our fleets of the Netherlands and Frangji will be as soon as possible. Go to Manila for rescue," said the previous director.

Representatives of Franz, Spain, and a group of directors of the East India Company were worried.Now that the whole of the Spice Islands is under the shadow of war, they are in danger of being uprooted.

It would be surprising if the European powers knew that Franz, Spain, and the Netherlands would sit together in the Far East to fight against the enemy.

"I propose that before the situation becomes clear, we should strengthen the defense of Batavia, especially the coastal defense forts, to prevent the fleet of the Kyushu Army from attacking Batavia." A director of the East India Company said.

"The Kyushu Army has already fought on two fronts, how could it still have the strength to attack our Batavia?" Almost everyone couldn't believe it.

"It's better to be careful." said the director who proposed to strengthen coastal defense.

At the time of the meeting at the headquarters of the Allied Forces of the East India, outside the stone hut where their headquarters was, several shirtless Javanese peered furtively in through the iron bars.

The Dutch soldiers standing guard on one side of the iron fence saw these sneaky Javanese, walked to the iron fence, and yelled at them fiercely: "You servants, this is not the place for you to come. Get out of here!"

A few Javanese people were not afraid of them, but looked at the dirt roads on both sides, and saw no other pedestrians.

Boom!One of the Javanese took the lead, took out a revolver from the back of his trouser belt, and killed the Dutch soldier closest to him on the spot!
Several other Javanese also took out their pistols and shot at the Dutch soldiers inside the iron fence!
More than a dozen gunshots rang out one after another, and they shot and killed the unsuspecting Dutch soldiers!

Several Javanese took out the paper cartridge casings from their trouser pockets, and kicked open the unlocked iron door while loading the bullets.Under the leadership of the little boss, they rushed into the headquarters building of the East India Coalition Army.

"What are you..." The Dutchman at the front desk of the headquarters building looked in horror at the Javanese rushing in.

However, before he finished speaking, he was shot dead by the Javanese with a revolver!

A series of gunshots downstairs alarmed the representatives of Franz, Spain and the directors of the East India Company who were in a meeting.

"What happened? Why is there the sound of muskets?" Representatives Franchi and Spain turned pale with shock.

The directors of the East India Company were also puzzled.

"I'll go out and have a look." One of the directors stood up, opened the door of the meeting room, and shouted, "Eisen, what happened..."

Boom!There was another gunshot that shocked the whole body, and the director who opened the door and poked his head out was headshot from the side and fell into a pool of blood!
"Ah!!!" A group of representatives of the East India Coalition Army in the conference room screamed in fright, and pressed against the wall tightly.

The directors of the East India Company were so frightened that their scalps were numb, and they trembled to find their own quick-action pistols, or to fetch the matchlocks hanging on the wall.

However, there was not much time left for them. A few Javanese people had already appeared at the door, shooting fiercely at the people inside!
They used revolver pistols that could fire several bursts, and they shot the directors and representatives of the East India Company before they could react!

After succeeding, several Javanese left in a hurry, leaving the representatives of the East Indian coalition forces lying on the ground.

The gunshots here alarmed the garrison in Batavia. When the Dutch soldiers arrived at the headquarters of the East India Coalition Army, several Javanese people had disappeared.

It wasn't just the East India Coalition Building that was attacked by killers, there were also several places in Batavia that suffered the same disaster.Without exception, these places were not important command hubs of the East India Company.

A Dutch officer picked up a revolver that fell on the ground. Seeing the strange structure of the revolver, he was a little puzzled.

"Sir, this must be the musket left behind by the assassin when he fled in a hurry." A Dutch soldier inspecting the scene said.

"This musket is really weird." The Dutch officer fiddled with a revolver he had never seen before.

Boom!He accidentally pulled the trigger, and the revolver fired into the sky, scaring the surrounding Dutch soldiers like frightened birds.

"Don't panic." The Dutch officer was also frightened, but he soon knew how to play with a revolver, and couldn't help praising, "My God, there are such exquisitely constructed pistols in this world. Returning to Europe for production will definitely make a fortune."

But then he seemed to think of something: "The one who can produce such an exquisite pistol in this world must be the Kyushu Army. They assassinated our high-level officials! No, I know their plan!"

Suddenly realized, the Dutch officer suddenly looked in the direction of the coastal defense fort.

boom!There was a violent explosion, black smoke billowed in the direction where the coastal defense fort was located, shouts of killing and gunfire sounded into chaos!
Ruined.Most of the officers of the Netherlands died suddenly, and the coastal defense fort was destroyed, indicating that the fleet of the Kyushu Army will arrive soon.
