Chapter 751: Taking Batavia
They actually occupied the fort first?
This was the only sentence in the minds of Harlink and his men, but there was not even a flicker of fire on the artillery position. When did they occupy this place?
The Governor was also dumbfounded. In his mind, the fort was easy to defend and difficult to attack, and should be the last line of defense. But he didn't expect that it had already been occupied. Could it be that those people emerged from underground? There were several lines of defense between the foot of the mountain and the fort.
"Don't even think about fighting us to the death. You don't stand a chance."
Seeing Halink's eyes rolling around, it was estimated that this kid had other ideas in his mind, so after the leading officer finished speaking, several flares were raised in the surrounding area. At the edge of the jungle in the distance, various jeeps and armored vehicles were parked there. When the headlights were turned on at the same time, the troops of the Windmill Country were startled.
When was this completed? Don't we have people monitoring the port? Why are there so many armored vehicles and cars here?
Everyone present felt that they had encountered more strange things today than in their entire lives. We counted over and over again how much equipment they unloaded from the ship, and there were no wheeled armored vehicles at all. If there were these things, we would have been unhappy a long time ago. How could we have let them wait until now?
"Governor, give up. If you do, please come here and make a broadcast to stabilize Batavia."
I don't know how long they were stunned. Qian Ruiguo was holding a piece of paper in his hand. This was the speech of the Governor. Now the fighting is still going on everywhere. If we rely on the guns in our hands to occupy the whole city, it will take a while. But if the recording of the Governor is sent out, many people who are not strong-willed should lay down their weapons at this time.
Why do we have to capture the king first in a war? It is because once the king is captured, many of his subordinates will not continue to fight. If even our leader is captured, we don’t have much hope.
"You are simply despicable and shameless. You occupy our land in this way. Don't expect me to cooperate with you. Let me tell you, I am the governor of the Windmill Kingdom in Batavia. I represent the rights of the Windmill Kingdom here. If anything happens to me, the Windmill Kingdom will never let you go, you yellow monkeys..."
Governor Mandrake forced himself to remain calm. Although he wanted to say some intimidating words, his trembling little fingers had already betrayed this guy. Qian Ruiguo had nothing else to say, so he just kicked him and kicked him away.
The guards around were howling, but unfortunately they couldn't do anything else. There were two Marines from the 72nd Army next to them. Even if they wanted to take action, they had to see if they had the ability to do it. Some of those who resisted more fiercely were now beaten with gun butts and had blood all over their heads and faces.
These Marines seem to be used to it. When they hit people with rifle butts, they specifically aim for your face. They are very strong, and when they hit you with a rifle butt, you will either get multiple cuts on your face, lose several teeth, or even have your eye sockets knocked out.
So after seeing this scene, the Windmill Country soldiers behind shut their mouths one by one. Back then, they were much more cruel to the Chinese and local indigenous people than they are now, using all kinds of killing methods. But when it really came to them, none of them dared to act recklessly. They could still clearly distinguish between other people's lives and their own lives.
In the eyes of these people, when they do things, they don't care about the lives of others, but they only have one life. If they act recklessly at this time, they are likely to be killed. They come here from afar to make their family's life better, not to lose their lives. So the guards who usually scream, when they see His Excellency the Governor being beaten, can only scream in their hearts.
When the Governor stood up, his eyes were still full of stars. He thought that there were still hundreds of guards around him. If they really fought, there might still be a chance.
But when he came to his senses, he found that these people were squatting beside him, with their guns three meters away, and no one resisted. These were the guards he carefully selected.
In a place far away from home like Batavia, safety has always been the Governor's biggest concern, so he has been selecting strong guards from his troops to ensure his safety.
For many years, nothing had happened, but I didn't expect that when something really happened, these guys would all become so weak.
"I don't want to use violence, but our commander-in-chief has given me orders. I have three minutes left. Either you go to the next room and make an announcement, or I kill you and then ask your subordinates to make the announcement. Also, I have to say one more thing: if you die, don't expect your relatives here to survive. I'll send them down to see you."
Qian Ruiguo calmly lit a cigarette. Just as the Governor was about to speak, he spat out a mouthful of blood. "How do these guys train normally? Just one kick made me spit out blood?"
"I can choose to cooperate with you, but I can't guarantee that they will all obey my orders."
Thinking of the unruly people under his command, Governor Mandrake was not sure whether these people would lay down their arms.
"You just do your job and take care of their reactions. We know how to handle it."
Seeing that this guy was willing to cooperate, Qian Ruiguo's expression changed immediately. He immediately asked people on both sides to pull him up, and then went to the next room to broadcast. This was the most important thing in the early stage, second only to occupying the artillery position.
Within a radius of more than ten kilometers around Batavia, the armed personnel of the Windmill Kingdom had already exchanged fire with Li Shaoyi's men. Although their weapons and equipment were relatively backward, because it was night and Li Shaoyi's Marines were unfamiliar with the road, the two sides fought back and forth.
But at this moment, the Governor's broadcast sounded. Dozens of loudspeakers in the city, radios in every household, and loudspeakers temporarily set up by the Pujiang Marines all heard the Governor's old voice, as if he had turned into an old man overnight.
