Chapter 136 against the horse (Part 2)

..."Is there a white flag on the ship?"

Who can imagine that this is the first sentence after Lieutenant General Rozhstwinsky, the commander-in-chief of Russia's Second Pacific Fleet, got on the Petervi?

... The Lian on this side also opened fire, but the "Peter Wei" did not fight back. At first, Captain Xiangyu was still admiring the calmness of the Russians. Because the bombardment of the destroyer was almost meaningless at a distance of four kilometers, the Russians disdained to fight back, but soon, Major Xiangyu Hengsan saw that something strange came out: "Petervi" was not ready to gather at all, and he didn't even take off his guncoat.

It was the idea of Roger Stewinsky, the commander-in-chief of the fleet, who said that because there were casualties on the ship, it could be said that it was a medical ship, and the warship could not attack the ship. But which ship had no casualties at that time? This is not a reason not to be attacked at all, so Lieutenant General Roedwinsky came up with a cannon covered with a gun jacket to indicate that "the ship is not armed" or "the ship is not intended to be armed".

After the Japanese destroyer began to attack, and in strict accordance with the provisions of international law on the method of confirming the surrender of warships in naval battles, after stopping the engine, a white flag made of white tablecloth was hung and a signal flag was hung: "Our ship is wounded."

Then Lieutenant Tsukamoto boarded the Petervi with ten people. When he checked a cabin, the guarded Russian sailors did not let them in first. When he saw that he didn't pay attention to it at all, he changed his tone of pleading. Tsukamoto Kikuma did not understand Russian, but a pronunciation similar to "Amiral" in it attracted his attention. Tsukamoto Kikuma boldly pointed to the person lying in the cabin and asked.

"Ishetheadmiral Rozhestvensky? ( Is that General Rozhstwinsky?)

The answer is: "Yes."

Lieutenant Tsukamoto, who couldn't believe his ears, rushed to the deck and hit the flag. Captain Xiangyu's reply was: "Confirm again", because Major Xiangyu Hengsan, based on his own knowledge, thought that it was impossible to capture the fleet commander of a country. A fleet commander might be killed or commit suicide. How Could it be caught alive?

The fact is that the fleet commander of the Russian navy was indeed humiliating to be his own prisoner.

The Third Pacific Fleet led by Major General Nebogatov seemed to have been forgotten by the Combined Fleet in the first day of the battle, and Major General Nebogatov also consciously took his "floating irons" to his way honestly and did not keep up. Nebogatov saw the sinking of the Duke of Suvorov from afar. According to common sense, he inferred that Lieutenant General Roedsdusky had died in the line of duty. Although he had not received an official order, he must assume the duty of fleet commander.

Before the fall, Nebogatov also picked up the Eagle floating on the surface of the water and took her to Vladivostok. At night, the lawless Japanese destroyers and torpedo boats swaned all over the world and hit it when they saw the light, and Nebogatov took the Third Pacific Fleet from the Baltic Sea in the evening. There has always been a light control, so Nebogatov came over the first night without loss.

While thanking God, Major General Nebogatov continued to pray to God not to find himself in the daytime of the next day. After the next day, Major General Nebogatov rushed to Vladivostok with his fleet.

When entering the port, Major General Nebogatov leaned over to thank God, but from the perspective of bystanders, perhaps he should thank the Chinese even more. It was the Chinese high-quality anthracite exchanged in Sandu and Macao that saved him. When he marched to Vladivostok, the joint fleet took the "Yeshima" as the flagship. The fifth team is searching near its route. If they still use the thick smoke generated by the poor coal burning unique to a Russian fleet, I'm afraid it will be found immediately.

Although in theory, except for the Black Sea Fleet, which was not allowed to be expelled from the Dardanelles by the Paris Peace Treaty after the Crimean War, the Russian Far East Fleet and the Baltic Fleet were not completely destroyed because of General Nebogatov's "luck", but in fact, except for the Black Sea Fleet, Russia The naval force no longer exists!"

...And the loss of the joint fleet was only three torpedo boats, one of which sank by itself on the reef. In the naval battle against Malaysia, 19 warships of the Russian fleet, including six battleships, were sunk, and five warships, including one battleship, were captured. ... In the end, only the old remnants of the Third Pacific Fleet led by Commander Nebogatov successfully arrived in Vladivo.

Listening to Ye Zugui's report, Chen Moran was silent for a long time. Looking at the Japanese naval secret telegram translated by the Naval Intelligence Office, history has changed here. At least the "floating irons" of Nebogatov's Third Pacific Fleet successfully reached Vladivostok.

However, there is no doubt that the navy has won the absolute victory in the naval battle as in history. The failure of the Russian navy means that there will be no Russian fleet on the high seas since then. The fate of the Russian Empire has been decided, and the same time to decide the fate of China has also come.

"Do you know?"

Looking away from the telegram on the table and looking at Ye Zugui in front of him, Chen Moran said.

"Ito Hirofumi was killed by a Japanese policeman in Yokohama!"

When he said this, Chen Moran sighed bitterly. Hirofumi Ito died. On the day of the decision of the joint fleet and the Russian fleet, on the day of the decision of the national fortune, Ito Hirofumi, the only sober brain of Japan, died in his own hands, although in his heart, no one in the world may be more thirsty than himself. I hope to kill Ito, but not now.

"A real man with a bloody surname has the courage to fight in this autumn of survival! Have the courage to speak the truth! For the survival of the empire, for all the good memories, we should splash three feet of courage with blood..."

Thinking of the newspaper, he praised the policeman who assassinated Ito. After his arrest, he accused Hirofumi Ito of betraying his interests and violating the emperor's oracle. This "hero" has won the respect of the whole Japanese society, and some of them are active everywhere, hoping to avoid death.

Chen Moran couldn't help lamenting the tricks of history in his heart. On May 27, Russia, Japan and even China's national fortune have been decided. Russia and Japan's national fortune have been decided, and Japan has won the future, but what about China?

The tide of history is that Hirofumi Ito died, and he died at a time when he could not die. At the same time of his death, China's national fortune also changed on this day. If Hirofumi Ito does not die, Hirofumi Ito's sober brain will definitely prevent Japan from declaring war on China. Although China "usurped" the fruits of Japan's victory in this war, there was a rapid progress and slow progress within Japan. The two factions, Ito Hirofumi tried his best to advocate slow progress. The reason is to take into account the balance of international power in this region, so as not to make too many enemies among the great powers. Moreover, out of the consideration of Japan's current strength, he will also oppose the unauthorized war against China at the end of the war against Russia, and now he has lost the internal checks and balances. It will eventually go to that step, but it is not what I can predict.

I hope that Ito will die more than anyone else, and now it is true, but the death of Hirofumi Ito makes it almost a fore conclusion that there will be an explosion war between China and Japan in the next one to two years.

"Your Majesty, it seems that no one can stop the radicals in Japan!"

Ye Zugui's words were also with a trace of worry. He knew better than anyone what it meant, which meant that the navy must be ready to fight a dignified battle with Japan.

"Hmm!"

He nodded. Chen Moran did not say anything. Instead, he stood up and walked slowly to the window. When he looked out of the window, he could occasionally see some tourists walking on the lawn of the other garden. Now the outside world does not know that he won the war. Maybe tomorrow, when the newspaper reports the news, the Chinese people will be surprised. When Japan wins, they will know that Japan's victory in this naval battle also means that a full-scale war between China and Japan has also reached the stage of imminent.

"We have at most..."

After a moment of silence, Chen Moran continued.

"A year or a year and a half!"

From now on, by October, Russia will approve the peace treaty, which means that there will be at least five months, and there is no need to consider the invasion of Japan.

Considering the current economic problems of Japan, they will leave themselves at least a year. If it lasts for a long time, there may be a year and a half. Although this time seems to be full of desire, in fact, it is not enough at all, especially... Looking back at Ye Zugui.

"If I can, I don't want to fight a naval battle in the same day, at least in the next ten years!"

Ye Zugui did not answer His Majesty's words. Similarly, he did not know hope, but what could he do if he didn't want it?

"The battle against the horse, the battle against the horse and Hirofumi Ito's bayonet, it can be said that it has been decided that there must be a war between the two countries, and soon! Therefore, we must prepare for this war!"

Perhaps the real decisive meaning will be a naval battle. The victory or defeat of the naval battle will directly determine the future direction of the war, but the problem is that China has no hope of winning the naval battle at all.

Submarines have no role in large-scale naval battles, otherwise the Delan and Bismarck would not end in Germany's failure. As for aircraft, although Chinese aircraft are ahead of other countries, they are still unbearable.

"Your Majesty, if you buy a ship on a large scale now, maybe... maybe it's still urgent?"

Are you in a hurry? Only a year and a half!
