Iron Dynasty - Chapter 1044

When he saw the Dutch-style buildings on the coast of Manila, Eric suddenly had a surviving pleasure, and the fear that Jeranjah brought him that night was slowly eliminated at this moment.

Stephen’s expression was the same as Eric’s. They didn’t wait until the soldiers returned to the battleship with their Chinese rifles and machine guns and fled with them. Two thousand Dutch soldiers stayed on the land of Geranj forever.

“We can’t stay here for too long. The Chinese Empire’s fleet-borne landing team will arrive here soon, and Manila is too close to Bohol Island, where there are imperial garrisons.”

Stephen reminded Eric that now he only wants to go to Jakarta, because from Jakarta they can detour from Indonesia to India from the south without passing through Malacca, but in this way, their voyage will be twice as long.

Eric was in a heavy mood along the way. Originally, their relationship with the Chinese Empire was very harmonious. He could even go to Qingzhou in his spare time to enjoy a good life, but all this would be ruined by the idiots in Congress.

Suppressing the anger, Eric said: “Congressman Stephen, since you dare to fight the Chinese Empire, you must understand the consequences you will endure. Manila is very dangerous, and Jagda is very dangerous. Congratulations to the Netherlands. We are about to lose everything in Asia. , Fuck Congress idiots!”

Stephen’s face was red and purple. He was also a member of Congress, and Eric was cursing him in front of him.

The surprise and frustration received in the past two days also broke out at this moment. He shouted: “You can leave the city of Relanzhe to serve the Chinese Empire. Why should you follow me? Oh, it is not too late for you to go back. “

“That’s because I am loyal to the Netherlands, not you idiots.” Eric did not give in.

While the two were arguing, six Dutch warships slowly entered the dock. Manila Archon Simon was looking at them and shouting: “Hey, guys, what are you arguing about, dont hurry to get off the ship, Ive prepared lunch for you. .”

Hearing this sound, the two stopped arguing, grunted, and they got off the boat.

Walking in front of Simon, Eric said; “Simon, how are you preparing? After eating Chinese food, we are going to Jagda, and the fleet of Dayu Kingdom will arrive here soon.”

Simon’s face suddenly changed, and he said, “Why? Have you already…”

“Yes, you should ask Stephen about this.” Eric did not want to talk about this topic. In order to govern the colonies in Asia, the Netherlands sent a governor and two administrators. Eric governed the city of Geranz, Simon There is another to manage Manila, and another is to manage Jagda, but Eric has the most power, and both of them listen to him in the position.

Stephen looked at Simon and nodded, “We don’t have much time to prepare. The British and French won’t give us much time.”

Simon looked complicated. He said: “But this is too hasty. If we leave now, we will lose a lot. We have been in Manila for many years and have important economic benefits here. Only the manor and mine are invaluable.”

“There is no way,” Eric said: “We have already started a war with the Chinese Empire. We can only wait to die if we stay here. We will leave after lunch. We will not wait for those who are too late to leave.”

As soon as his words fell, Stephen suddenly said: “Simon can’t leave here yet. We need him to contain the speed of the Chinese Empire going south, and the coalition forces also need time to prepare.”

Eric was completely angry. He pointed to Stephen and shouted: “Isn’t the death of two thousand Dutch soldiers not enough? You still want to see how many Dutch people die.”

Stephen was also tired of Eric’s attitude. At this time, he took out a power of attorney from the Congress and said to Simon seriously: “Simon, Congress has granted me the right to temporarily handle all affairs of Asian colonies, Eric Its immediately questionable now, and I ask you to arrest Eric now.”

Eric and Simon’s eyes were attracted by the red ink pad under the power of attorney, which is indeed the power of attorney from Congress.

Simon hesitated, and finally said: “Eric, I must obey Congress’ orders.”

With a sardonic laugh, Eric spread his hands and expressed helplessness, and then he was controlled by Simon’s soldiers.

A triumphant look appeared on Stephen’s face. He had endured enough of this arrogant Asian governor. In his opinion, Eric was too inclined to the Chinese Empire, which was a cowardly behavior.

After Eric was taken away, Stephen said to Simon: “Immediately mobilize all the soldiers in Manila to build a defense against the offensive of the Chinese Empire. If you faithfully implement my orders, I will definitely apply to the Congress to allow you to return home.”

Simon’s eyes lit up suddenly, and he lived a boring life in this place for many years away from home. Simon had long wanted to return to Holland.

So he said: “Congressman Stephen, I will work hard.”

Stephen showed a satisfied smile, had lunch in Manila, and added food and fresh water. In the afternoon, he once again followed the fleet to Jagda.

There, the Dutch have the strongest strength in Asia.

On the dock, watching Stephen leave, Simon immediately came to the prison and released Eric.

Facing Simon with a weird smile, Eric showed a puzzled expression.

“Eric, you must help me. Whether you can return to Holland depends on my performance this time.” Simon said lightly.

“It’s impossible!” Eric sneered. In fact, he understood that Simon was sent here only to restrain him, because the two had been on mutual alert.

Now it’s in his hands~~ He doesn’t feel a little sad.

Simon understands that he has no ability to fight, but Eric has fought on the battlefield. This is why he needs Eric.

He said: “Don’t rush to answer. Think about your relatives in Holland. We can go back as long as we fight this battle. If we can defeat the empire’s offensive, you and I will have greater credit. Even if we are defeated, we can Escape to Jagheda, the empire does not have us understand the nearby ocean.”

Eric’s expression is a bit struggling, now he is frustrated, and now his only wish is to be returned to the Netherlands.

Thinking of this, he nodded, “Well, I will help you resist the Chinese Empire, but before that, you’d better prepare a boat, otherwise we will all die here.”

“Of course, I have arranged for someone to go, and now you should go and see how to build a defense.” Simon’s eyes flashed brightly.

He was more greedy than Eric. One of the reasons he stayed was to secretly take away the gold he had raided in Manila. At the same time, he wanted to try to obtain the firearms of the Empire, so that his future would be bright.
