The Japanese, Europeans and Chinese serve them. Are these people equipped with weapons? How many of them are firearms? What is the performance of the firearms...

There are a total of one hundred and twenty-five questions in the letter.

The more Li Siya read, the more suspicious she became. If the previous questions were general intelligence, the subsequent questions about the Australian army, weapons, and the status of the port and fortification situation at Lingao were all military in nature.

What do the Dutch want to know about this? Li Siya thought, do they want to take action against the Australians? The geographical environment of Lingao is not the best, but it is much closer to the coast of China than Taiwan, and it is on the way to China from the East Indies.

The transportation line of the mainland. The Dutch occupied this place

"These questions are worth at least five thousand dong." Li Siya said to the visitor after reading the letter.

"This is one thousand guilders." Gonzalez generously took out a leather bag, "After you answer all the questions, I will give you two thousand guilders."

"I want five thousand dong - the cost is extra." Li Siya said, "This work is very difficult, and I will have to spend a lot of money myself."

"I only have this power." Savage Gonzalez said, "But the Governor said: If your information is accurate, he can pay more."

"What if it's not accurate?" Li Siya smiled and took a sip of wine.

"This is beyond my ability to understand." Gonzalez bowed.

"I need time to answer your question. It will take about one or two months." Li Siya said, "Are you going back or are you waiting here for my reply?"

"Of course it's here." Although Mr. Gonzalez is not very religious, he feels very uncomfortable being forced to participate in Protestant prayers every day. It would be great to be able to temporarily escape from this kind of religious drudgery - and regardless of Macau

Both the climate and the food are much better than those in the East Indies.

"You can stay at the 'Crown Hotel'. The food is very good, and there are some women you may be interested in." Li Siya said, taking out a money bag from the drawer: "Here are three hundred rials.

"

After Savanchi Gonzalez resigned, she called for Li Chun, also known as Li Huamei. She had just returned from Goa and was resting.

"I'm afraid your business will fail." Li Siya said to her nurse, "The Dutch are plotting against Lingao."

"Cheese eaters are asking for trouble." Li Huamei sat on the cushions - this action was a bit presumptuous for her status. But the relationship between them was more of a partnership than a master-servant relationship.

Unlike her younger sister who focused more on intrigues and intrigues, Li Huamei preferred to do straightforward things, whether it was business or robbery at sea.

"I prefer the Australians, although they are a bit stupid." Li Huamei chuckled, "They all call themselves captains even if they can't climb the mast."

But it doesn't matter to Li Siya whether she feels good or bad. The key is the issue of interests.

According to Li Huamei, the Dutch alone cannot destroy the Australians at Lingao. Li Huamei has seen Australian artillery fire, and seen their defense system and iron ships. It is impossible for Bobu Port to be captured from the front.

- When there were no heavy artillery in Bobu Port, the joint assault by the Spaniards and Liu Xiang was completely defeated, not to mention that now they have turned Bobu into a fortress.

"Just what I saw: There are two forts in Bopu that are almost impossible to capture." Li Huamei marked on the map, "One is on the old beacon tower. There is a heavy cannon on it, which can hit almost one league.

Outside. Then there is a similar cannon on the front deck of their 'holy ship'."

Li Siya looked at the lines of fire of the artillery on the map - the coverage area of ​​these two guns was too wide! Any ship would be within range as soon as it approached Bopu, and the Australian artillery was simply unbelievable.

But the most frightening thing is not this kind of cannon. Li Siya knows that the firing speed of heavy artillery is very slow. A 12-pound cannon can fire almost one round per minute. According to the size of the cannon mentioned by Li Huamei, these two

The firing interval of the door cannon must be at least ten minutes.

Moreover, it is difficult to adjust the aiming of large artillery. If you are not afraid of losses, use large ships to attract firepower within the range, and small ships rush into the harbor at full speed - it is best to use rowing boats and rush in on the tide.

The key is that the Australians have a very obvious advantage in small artillery. In particular, some of the artillery that fires conical shells are far superior to all European artillery in terms of range, penetration and firing speed. If she hadn't originally

She had personally experienced the power of artillery fire on the Countess of Scarborough - they had neither fortresses nor heavy artillery at that time, and they did not even use iron ships, so they beat the Spanish galleon until it was unable to fight back - she was

I would never believe that there are such powerful artillery fires in this world.

"...It is completely impossible to attack or bombard these two places - the Holy Ship is taller than the largest Galenic ship. The hull is made of iron, and the sailors cannot climb up at all, and it is impossible to set it on fire.

It has lost its combat effectiveness. As for the old beacon tower, it is located deep on the coast, and you have to travel a long distance after landing to reach its feet."

Li Huamei continued to mark the map: "These two places are just the places I saw. There must be other forts or defense facilities in the places I didn't see. They also have several key support points in depth, all of which are
