Chapter 130 Live Broadcast

The light signal from the "Eagle" medical ship made the "Shinano Maru" judge that there should be other ships around the medical ship, but the light fog on the sea made it impossible to see clearly.

Looking at the inquiry signal sent by the Eagle, Colonel Narkawa, the captain of Shinano Maru, did not order to respond, and made another bold decision.

" Put the boat on board for inspection!"

An order made the officers and soldiers around them more nervous, but for the captain's order, they only chose to obey. More than two hours later, when the boat was ready to be released, it was already slightly bright. At this time, the people on the "Shinano Maru" who were ready to release the boat were shocked by the scene in front of them.

It was not until this time that Cheng Chuan found a fact that made people's scalp shiel. At this time, he was sailing in the middle of the Luguo Fleet and going northeast. There were huge warships on the front and back, left and right, and the nearest distance was only 1,000 meters. This surprise was extraordinary. "Left rudder... full speed escape!"

At this time, even Cheng Chuanba, who is known as a bold thief, can't be bold. There is only one imitation head left in his mind. Hurry up and sneak out before the Lu Guoren finds himself.

"Esent a telegram immediately!"

Although I want to sneak out, I still know my task in Chengchuan.

"The enemy ship was found at 203 at 4:45 a.m., 32 degrees 20 minutes north latitude and 128 degrees 20 minutes east longitude, going to the Tsushima Strait."

"Position 203" is the square that "Shinano Maru" is responsible for. Five months ago, the destruction of Lushun's Russian Pacific Fleet was due to the loss of 203 Heights. Today, the Second Pacific Fleet, composed of the Baltic Fleet, was found in the 203 square. The same position, perhaps It is doomed to the same fate.

When the telegraph was sent by the telegraph, Chengchuan was surprised that those Lu [***] ships who had obviously found themselves in the same industry did not seem to respond to their existence, as if they were not aware of their existence at all.

But in fact, the Russian fleet had long found a dissident in the team, and Commander Rostwinsky, who received the report, was also unexpected.

"Don't worry about it, speed up!"

In Roger Strinsky's opinion, there is nothing wrong with his order. Anyway, the fleet will be discovered sooner or later, and the most important thing now is to speed up. It's just that Roger Strinsky, as the commander, did not issue an order to "prepare for battle" at the same time. Maybe he really thought that he could slip through if he ran faster.

After Colonel Narutagawa on the "Shinano Maru" figured out what was going on, he did not escape at all. He boldly moved forward with the Russians, while also broadcasting live. At that time, the stable communication distance of the "type 36 radio" independently developed by the navy equipment could reach 180 nautical miles, which was "Shinano Maru" The live broadcast provides the best tool. At 6:05 a.m., "the direction of the enemy ship remains unchanged, and the front is opposite" provides information for the joint fleet to decide the surname.

At 6:45 a.m., a 21-year-old cruiser "Hequan" was added to this team. "Hequan" was originally responsible for the square next door. After receiving the telegram of "Shinano Maru", he took the initiative to replace the armed merchant ship Shinano Maru. After "Hequan" came, the radio message was not only The Russian fleet, plus the composition and formation of the fleet, but after dozens of minutes, I really couldn't report anything new, so I sent a telegram that seemed to be meaningless, but it was actually the most valuable.

"The hull is light black, and the chimneys are all yellow."

Although the two Japanese warships around him accompanied him throughout the whole process and constantly "live broadcast" his fleet, Rogerstwinsky still ignored the existence of the "Hequan" and only ordered the starboard secondary gun and tail gun of the flagship "Duke of Suvolov" to aim at "Hequan", but did not order it. Fire order, for fear of delay. Because Colonel Ignacius, the captain of the Duke of Suvorov, calculated that the naval battle may take place in the west of Okinoshima around 14:00.

At this time, Rozhstwinsky is no longer in the mood to deal with a small cruiser.

At the same time, facing the Japanese warship mixed into the fleet does not mean that no one in the fleet is aware of their danger. A radio officer of the fleet's armed merchant ship Ural put forward a suggestion: the world's maximum power and communication distance of the Marconi equipped with it reach 700 seas. The radio station in it interferes with the radio message of the Hequan.

"Now, our mission is... to sail towards Vladivostok at full speed!"

One of the most valuable suggestions was once again rejected by Rozhestwinski. More than ten minutes later, a merchant ship of about a thousand tons a hundred nautical miles away encrypted the intercepted telegram to another piece of land.

On Zijin Mountain on the outskirts of Nanjing, several towering towers often stand out. This is the telegraph center of the Naval Intelligence Office. On the surface, with the help of a high-power telegraph machine, it is responsible for issuing orders to the fleet sailing in the sea and receiving telegrams thousands or even tens of thousands of miles away, but in fact, it is also responsible. It has an additional task - deciphering the password.

After receiving the Japanese military telegram intercepted on the "Sea 1" search ship here, more than a dozen mathematicians and cryptographic experts immediately deciphered it. This naval intelligence deciphering center has been concentrating on deciphering the Japanese naval telegram since it was invested last year. In this era when the password has just been put into use. Although the telegraph deciphering work is also immature, with the help of several foreign mathematicians and cryptographic experts, a month ago, the Japanese naval code was successfully deciphered here.

"Shinano Maru" sent a telegram. As soon as it was intercepted, it was quickly deciphered in the "black room" of the Naval Intelligence Department. After repeated confirmation, an hour later, on the way to the naval headquarters building by the river, the rider riding a side motorcycle drove quickly through the busy street for a few minutes. Later, a telegram from the deciphering office of the Naval Intelligence Station was sent to the Admiralty. The telegrams marked with the words "express and top secret" were immediately sent layer by layer, and finally handed over to a rear admiral in the combat room of the Admiralty.

At this moment, the hour hand is pointing at 5:55 a.m., and the date on the calendar is May 27, 4603. It took only an hour for the Imperial Navy to intercept and decipher the password of the Japanese navy's search ship, and the reception time was no more than an hour's difference from that of the Japanese base camp.

"The enemy ship was found at 203 at 4:45 a.m., 32 degrees 20 minutes north latitude and 128 degrees 20 minutes east longitude, going to the Tsushima Strait."

The content of the telegram was immediately read out by the major general. As he read it out, the trainee officers quickly placed the Russian [***] ship models one by one in the center of the battle room. The huge Tsushima Strait chart, the officers around the sea map were now talking about it.

"Okay, Russian naval power..."

The officer pointed to the chart and said.

"It's disappearing in this area today."

A few minutes later, another telegram was sent to the naval combat room full of senior naval officers, "Speed 7.5 knots! The course has been determined. It's the right horse!"

After receiving the telegram, Ye Zugui turned his head and said to Sa Zhenbing.

"It seems that Roger Strinsky can't escape this time anyway!"

Section 7.5, passing from the Tsushima Strait, while in Tsushima, the Japanese joint fleet has already deliberately prepared an unprecedented "feast" for the Russian navy. As for what will happen after the feast, everyone has already known it.

"Then it seems that we should also consider it ^"

For a moment of meditation, Sa Zhenbing raised his head and said.

"Start to prepare for the battle with the Japanese navy!"

"It's a big deal. It's not up to you and me."

Ye Zugui nodded and said.

"We have to submit this information immediately."

Everyone knows that once the Russian fleet is defeated, it means that the Japanese navy will free up its hands to "solve" China's problems. Once it chooses to take military adventures, then war between China and Japan is bound to break out again. The reason why Your Majesty cancelled the planned military parade and did not transfer back the troops concentrated in the northeast. In fact, it is to deal with the re-war that may break out at any time after the Russian armistice.

Almost the whole world understands that in the Russian war, whether it is Japan or Russia, these two directly participated and paid a heavy price in the war, almost exhausted the financial and material resources of the two countries, but they did not achieve any fruit of victory at all. They exhausted their wealth in the war, but the fruit of victory was captured by China. The country carried out the appropriate war at the right time and place. In the end, the two countries withdrew from Northeast China actively or passively for the so-called "victory", which was precisely the reason for the outbreak of the war or the "reward for the winner".

"Can we win?"

When the two left the war room, Sa Zhenbing suddenly asked Ye Zugui beside him. Although it was just a question, the question was very simple. The answer had long been recognized by everyone.

"It depends on whether you are willing to gamble or not, if they are willing to..."

With a wry smile, Ye Zugui looked at the long corridor with a sigh. Could it be that China's footsteps to the ocean again be cut off by Japan again?

Snow Jiawu shame may be the expectation of the whole navy, but expectation does not mean doing anything. At least when the navy has no capital to "do everything", the so-called snow shame will only become a joke in the end.

"There is no more if, but once there is a war..."

Ye Zugui did not continue to speak, but his pace accelerated a lot at the same time. The answer is clear to everyone. If I am willing to gamble again, there is only one result, and no one is willing to face.
