The cruel line-up shooting tactics were extremely bloody. With the crisp gunshots of like beans, soldiers on both sides fell down one after another, and the dead bodies covered the ridge positions. At this moment, the god of death was rampant and grim.

In comparison, the Second Regiment's faster firing rate of ammunition rifle finally defeated the Dutch armed bolt-action rifle, and the Dutch army suffered far more casualties than the former.

The fierce battle lasted less than ten minutes, and the Dutch army, who was fighting stubbornly, was completely defeated and turned around and fled all over the mountains.

The attacking Shangri-La Division soldiers followed and chased, and the crisp gunfire continued intermittently until dusk.

The 2nd Battalion of the Third Regiment led by Li Shuanzhu fought all the way to the beach. After killing more than 20 rebellious officers and soldiers, he captured the lucky bay shore artillery and logistics warehouse intact. The entire battle finally came to an end.

It's really a success in one battle

The clouds droop, the sound of jackdaws

Looking back, the corpses of soldiers on both sides covered the valley and dyed the mountains red. The mountain wind blew towards us with a strong smoke and bloody smell, as if it was an elegy for life.

After the war

The Dutch army had a total of 3,577 people, 2,461 people were killed in this battle, 233 were missing, 783 were captured, and no injured were injured.

There is also a small episode here. The offensive troops found the bodies of 17 officers in the Dutch front command post. After identification, they were all officers above the mercenary company.

Lord Smit von Clawns is cruel to the enemy and is cruel enough to attack his own people, leaving no sensation.

During the battle, the Shangri-La Division killed 1,601 people, more than 420 people were seriously injured and 860 were slightly injured. The casualties mainly came from the officers and soldiers of the Second Regiment, which was a heavy loss.

The Second Regiment became famous in one battle, and the Second Regiment Commander Zhao Jiaxiong was promoted to deputy division commander after the war. The Second Regiment entered the ranks of the main regiment of the Shangri-La Division, and each officer and soldier was promoted and rewarded.

After the war, apart from the fallen soldiers, the expanded soldiers of the Shangri-La Division still reached more than 10,000 people, and the officers and soldiers injured in the battle were even more valuable assets. After these veterans returned to the team due to injury, they would greatly enhance the combat effectiveness of the division.

In a short time

Shangri-La still faces severe challenges, and it is necessary to maintain a super-large organization to cope with possible wars.

After the war, Li Fushou was in Panheng, Shangri-La Island for three days. After inspecting the post-war construction and soldiers' pensions, he hurried back to Australia.

In late June, the results of the Queensland governor's election finally came to light. Li Fushou was elected as the new Queensland governor with a high vote of more than 90%. He served for five years and could be re-elected for three consecutive terms.

There are still a lot of important things in Kunshan and Lanzhou waiting for Li Fushou to deal with. As the first Chinese governor in Australian history, Li Fushou broke countless glass ceilings and led Chinese immigrants to the Australian political stage. It has the same rights and obligations as white residents. It is a historic moment and deserves to be remembered forever.

News of the victory of the Battle of Moresby spread like a wind. After repeated reports from newspapers and magazines, it sparked the patriotic enthusiasm of the Queensland people. They were proud of their mighty army. The victory after victory ignited the long-silent blood in their hearts and awakened the glorious memories of the past.

The war on Shangri-La Island ended, and the Dutch troops that raided the island were wiped out, which was expected by all European and American observers and beyond the expectations of the Dutch Governor's Office.

The Queensland Coast Guard proved its strength through victory after victory in the naval battles. The Army troops of the Queensland National Guard passed this battle and also proved their combat effectiveness, thus gaining the attention of the European powers.

Stepping on the corpses of the Dutch invaders, this army composed mainly of Chinese made a brilliant debut on the world stage, and its combat effectiveness tacitly entered the ranks of third-rate strong troops in Europe.

Batavia (Jakarta)

The Dutch East Indies Governor's Mansion was covered with clouds, and everyone looked like they were lost, as if the sky had collapsed.

This is the main force of 3,600 people. How could it be destroyed after one battle?

There were only a few army troops in the Netherlands. In this battle, almost one-tenth of the army was wiped out, and the backbone was almost broken.

In addition to the large amount of manpower and materials lost in the Lucky Gulf Battle, the Dutch lost more than 15,000 officers and soldiers (along with captured personnel) in the war. They must recruit soldiers on a large scale again without counting other losses. The casualties alone exceeded the huge amount of tens of millions of Dutch guils.

The news came back to the Kingdom of the Netherlands, and the people across the country were in an uproar.

Prime Minister Lord Van Horn's cabinet collapsed immediately and took responsibility for defeat. This was a two-term successive resignation due to the unfavorable war in the East Indies, setting a precedent that has never been seen in this century.

This severe damage caused a great loss to the Dutch royal family, becoming an inequality marginal role among the powerful European countries, and its former glory was completely lost.

The only strange thing is that the cabinet of the Prime Minister of the Kingdom of the Netherlands fell one after another, and the position of Sir Frederick-s-Jacob, the governor of the Dutch East Indies, became increasingly stable. No one was willing to take over his inauspicious position, and was almost destined to be nailed to the pillar of shame in history.

Perhaps no one cares about what is written in the history of the small Dutch Kingdom. What impressed this country the most is the mermaid fairy tale in addition to the former glory of "the coachman on the sea".

Governor's Office

The current governor, Sir Frederick-s-Jacob, is no longer as elegant as before. The collar of his shirt is half open and his yellow chest hair is revealed, his hair and beard are messy, his face, which is too drunk, looks sickly pale, and his eyes are covered with blood.

"Vinbeck, I'm so happy to see you, but you have to go back to Singapore and get us a peace treaty that can be explained." Sir Frederick-s-Jacob staggered to the table, sat down, picked up the bottle and poured himself a full glass and poured it down, and couldn't help but burp.

"Great Governor, you shouldn't be so decadent."

"Okay, Wenbeck, I don't want to see these hypocritical mercy. Everyone knows what's going on in this ghost place. The Chinese in Queensland broke our dream of deceiving ourselves. The Netherlands is no longer the overlord of the ocean that once traverses the seven seas. Now those yellow-skinned monkeys with long braids behind their heads can bully the Dutch. At this time, I came to this damn place. This is the reality of shit that I only understand now. Sit down and have a drink with me."

"Okay, if this makes you feel better." Wenbeck walked over, took out the wine glass and poured it for himself, and also filled it with the wine glass for Mr. Governor.

The two of them clinked silently, raised their heads and drank them all.

"Man, you have to go back." Sir Frederick-s-Jacob was not numbed by alcohol to speak nonsense, his blood-filled eyes staring at Vinbeck.

Deputy Governor Wenbaker touched the wine glass gently with his finger and replied in a dry tone; "Mr. Governor, I'm afraid I have to inform you of a worse news."

"Bad news? Hahaha...whether there is any worse news now? Even if our old king goes to see God, it will not be worse. Just say it."

"Queensland is unwilling to reopen the negotiations. They have put forward unacceptable prerequisites for reopening the negotiations. That is, we must recognize the fact that the Earl of Queensland first discovered and occupied Shangri-La Island, and admit that it has all the interests in Shangri-La Island. Otherwise, there is no foundation for peace talks, which is a waste of time. The mediation representatives of Britain, France and other countries also hold similar opinions and put great pressure on us..."

"Ho ho ho... it's a good plan." Sir Frederick-s-Jacob sneered a few times, not as shocked as he imagined; "In this way, the war we launched became an aggressive war, and they had more reason to raise high compensation from the height of morality and justice. But we disagreed for a day that these Queensland Chinese invaded our Borneo colonies unscrupulously. This is a really interesting logical trap. Well, this is a headache for the new cabinet. Those 21 damn things have finally been removed..."

"No... Governor General, there are still 21 clauses."

"oh……"

Sir Frederick-s-Jacob really doubts that he has not enough brains. Shouldn’t 20 minus 21 minus 1?

Wenbeck explained with an ugly face, "After the Shangri-La Island issue became a pre-arranged clause that must be accepted, the other party proposed a new clause, that is, we must recognize the Earl of Queensland as a "protector of overseas Chinese immigrants" and have the right to question the unfair discrimination in judicial trials, labor employment, social status and fair treatment, and ask the Governor's Office to improve and respond positively. After the two parties sign the contract, this will be retained as a formal clause and supervised by representatives of the mediation parties."

"What?"

Sir Frederick-s-Jacob widened his eyes in surprise, his face turned red due to extreme humiliation, and even his hands were trembling slightly. He suddenly unscrewed the lid and fucked a few times at the mouth of the bottle.

God, please accept me!

If the Governor's Office kicked the iron plate on Shangri-La Island, the Governor's Office admitted that the opponent's strength was strong and could no longer stop him from establishing an effective rule on Shangri-La Island. This was not originally a core area of ​​the Dutch interests. It would be natural to give up after being slapped in the face, and there was nothing unacceptable.

If you are beaten up, you should always understand something. Maybe this is the price of development?

But what the heck is this so-called "Chinese Overseas Immigration Protector"?

This is clearly an attempt to interfere in the internal affairs of the Dutch East Indies Governor's Office. It is a completely insult to the colonial rule of the Dutch Kingdom. It is not only an offense, but also an attempt to become the master of the family. It is simply an extreme humiliation. Who can tolerate it?

This reminded the Governor of the Tsar's identity as the "Orthodox Protector". He used this as a reason to invade the Ottoman Empire several times and frequently interfere in the affairs of the Balkans and the Caucasus. If the Ottoman Empire had no protection from Britain and France, the entire empire would have been destroyed.

Well, the colonies are not local, and some things are not infinitely exaggerated. How to deal with them will give the new cabinet a headache.

Such a big thing is far from what a mere governor can do. He is just a puppet pushed to the front.
