Since the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805, Britain has maintained its position as the hegemon of the sea, and its huge fleet has swam the world's oceans with swoop.

Today, a century of change, still no one can challenge the British maritime supremacy.

In addition to the strong ship tonnage and firepower of the British Navy, it is undeniable that the British naval fleet is excellent not only in its equipment, but also in its organization and training, especially in its great ideals and sound systems.

This is difficult for countries in today's world to surpass, a hundred years of naval wind and rain, its advanced equipment is not the absolute dominance of the world's oceans, naval soldiers combat literacy, but also play a decisive role.

Compared with the Red Guards and Navy, the quality of British Navy soldiers is not much worse.

Because the Red Guards Corps made the destruction of the Dutch East India Fleet silent, Britain paid particular attention to the war, and when the army was massed, it also mobilized the main warships in the Far East to support the impending war at any time.

The British Far Eastern Fleet has been massed in the South China Sea to protect the shipping routes in the South China Sea and ensure the safe arrival of the ships in Borneo.

The destruction of the Dutch Navy made the British extremely cautious, and in order to ensure absolute maritime superiority, almost all the warships of the entire Far East Fleet were mobilized.

The six old star battleships that Britain had commissioned in recent years, combined with other iron and fast warships, as well as two supply ships, formed a strong maritime lineup in the eyes of the British.

If it had not been for the understanding of the opponent, the mighty British fleet would not have been operating only in the South China Sea, the experienced British navy, and had not been blindly close to the Dutch East Indies.

A few days ago, the British government formally warned Fan Yize, asking him to let the troops lay down their arms, stop all senseless resistance, and return the colony to the Netherlands.

The warning of the British government, coupled with the beginning of the military preparations to be clear, is also tantamount to a declaration of war on Fan Yize on the Dutch East Indies, of course, the British have this confidence and strength.

The reaction of the nations was not consistent, and it was understood that the Dutch had climbed on the British and intended to retake the Dutch East Indies by means of the British.

It is natural that England could not send troops in vain, and then it would certainly get enough benefits from the Dutch.

But the focus of the world is on how long will this war be fought?

Although the Kingdom of the Netherlands is no longer in the past, its strength in the Dutch East Indies is not weak, and it is not a casual country that can provoke.

The Dutch military strength in the Far East is also the top of the list.

The Dutch were so easily defeated, and had confirmed the capture of the Dutch East Indies, the strength was good, and they had a mysterious fleet.

The British chose to intervene, are they sure that this army will be completely eliminated?Is war really like the British imagined?Will Fan Yize, known as the smartest person in the world, compromise?

With curiosity, the three American and French also sent warships to observe the British fleet from afar.

It was only necessary to follow the British fleet, and always saw this war, for which the fleets of the three countries, a rare gathering together, while flying the flag of peace, telling the British, and at the same time telling Fan Yize, we have no malice, just watching the masses.

At this moment, on the flagship old star of the British fleet in the South China Sea, the British Admiral Philimantel looked at the three warships in the distance, quite angry and helpless.

No fleet likes to have the presence of warships from other countries around them, although in this era, there is no radar and no wireless communication, and there is no need to worry about radar signals and communication being intercepted, but it will always make people very uncomfortable.

To this end, Philimantel has let the fast warships to drive a few times, but the three American-French warships in the distance will turn around and leave at once every time, and then when the fast warships return, they will appear at the side of the British fleet.

After a few times, Philimantle could only allow the three ships to follow, after all, no matter what, one of his generals had no right to order an attack on the three ships.

Philmantle was a veritable old navy with extensive naval experience, and when he was the commander of the British Far East Fleet, he was the commander of the British Far East Fleet.

Later, he was transferred to the British Ministry of the Navy, this time to return to the Far East, but also because the original Far East fleet commander just ended his term, he took the initiative to fight back to this most familiar area.

Philimantel was active in this war, both in performance and inwardly.

This part of the Far East is full of the power of all countries, and the United States and France need not say more, the Russian Far East Fleet and the Japanese Navy are also strong on the one hand.

Four years ago, the British Navy was not the strongest in the Far East, which is what Philip Mantel felt.

During his time in the Admiralty, Philimantle was concerned about the situation in the Far East, and with his strong efforts, the British replaced the original British Far East Fleet in large numbers.

The old star six new battleships, in the four years before and after, joined the British Navy fleet service, so that the British Navy once again dominate the Far East.

The old man's star battleship with a full displacement of nearly 15,000 tons is a battleship specially used in the Far East, four 305 mm main guns, plus a large number of secondary guns, the speed of the highest speed of eighteen knots, in the Far East, it is the strongest warship.

In fact, if not the appearance of the Red Guards, these six powerful British battleships were indeed the first battleship in the Far East, at least for a few years.

With the last Army escorts, Philimantel no longer wanted to remain in the waters, but he did not rush the entire fleet into the Java Sea to find the enemy's fleet.

But Philmantel was not a man who liked to wait, and with the help of the vast night, four fast warships left the fleet, took several running ships, and entered the Java Sea in the night.

At the same time, Philimantel ordered the fleet to approach Belidon Island.

The British fleet at night, all under the control of the lights, and the ships in the dark were slowly moving on the relatively calm sea.

This sea, the British are very familiar with, to the west is the entrance of the Strait of Malacca, the west is Sumatra, the east is Borneo.

The closed port of the Dutch East Indies brought good cover to the British fleet, because in the last two months, except for fishing boats, merchant ships have not left here.

On the quiet sea, the waves were rising, and the British sailors on the flagpoles of the warship carefully observed the distant sea with their telescopes, trying to find the billowing black smoke that could not be covered even in the night.
