A large convoy of transports, battleships, and destroyers cross the Gibraltar Straights. The Dutch government officially states that no nation need to worry about an attack in the Med. Sea. We are simply passing by.

Roughly around thirty minutes after the convoy went through Gibralter, Spanish merchant ships began reporting the Dutch ships to operators, and the operators reported it to Naval bases. It eventually got to the Spanish Admirality. They then telegraphed it to the Spanish fleet at Corsica. The fleet telegraphed a message back to HQ and then began transmitting to the Dutch navy on all morose code channels. (Tell me if i'm wrong.) The message was "Attention Dutch fleet :STOP: Do not come withing firing range of the island of Sardinia. :STOP: Failure to comply will result in a quick termination of the Dutch navy. :STOP:

To Spanish Armada:
"Do not worry, we have no intentions of going anywhere near Sardinia. We are going to hug the coast of northern Africa until we reach the Suez Canal. I warn you, however, do not come near our convoy with war ships. If you do so, we will have to fire upon any ship that comes near."

The convoy passes through the Suez Canal. It's destination is still unknown by most of the troops and crewmen on the ships.

The convoy finally arrives at its destination, off the coast of Siam.
