Chapter 149 Akiyama's Choice

In the Japanese naval world, Akiyama is the only genius, and at the same time, he is the only learner. His figure is exactly what we think of, very short; his appearance is very ordinary. From the appearance, I can see his greatness, and at most I can see that he is a cultivated person among ordinary people.

However, his peculiarity is worthy of the attention of almost every naval officer. In terms of learning, Akiyama Shinji is almost the only think tank in the Japanese navy, and his naval tactics are considered unattainable by people in the navy. Moreover, he has rich intelligence and many aspects of knowledge. He can use it with his wisdom, and his own purpose is not to be a scholar, so he has never used scientific methods to sort it out. All kinds of knowledge have turned into an intuitive effect in his mind. So what everyone thinks is beyond his intuition. Many people say that he is a heavenly eye and a heart-to-heart, which is probably the role of his potential energy transformed by his rich knowledge.

During the Battle of the Yellow Sea, he served as a naval staff officer, and he had a lot of achievements in the victory of the Yellow Sea. In the naval battle of Russia, he was the chief of staff of the fleet, and all operations were his director, beating the Baltic fleet to pieces. It was his battle. According to me, when he came to the east of the Russian Baltic ship, he only meditated and sat down.

He did clearly know the actions of the Baltic Fleet from a kind of spiritual effect. At that time, everyone was panicked and afraid of the great power of the Baltic fleet, and the people were even more horrible. He himself has a firm belief that he will be able to annihilate the Baltic fleet. In the future, all battles will be the power of this firm belief, not by scientific methods. If it is based on scientific methods, this fleet is by no means the enemy of the Baltic fleet.

Is this a talent? Of course, of course, more is his efforts, which are beyond the reach of ordinary people. He sleeps very little in a day. He works hard, and only the words "can't release the paper" can be described. He is either reading a book or measuring a map, and he is also meditation.

"Why do you want to fight with the Chinese?"

Makiyama Shinji, who stayed in a sultry room and studied the Chinese navy and formulated plans related to the battle with the Chinese navy, couldn't help but think of this problem when calculating all the possibilities in the naval battle. Although he knew the reason, he could not understand the reason.

In terms of political opinions, Shinji Akiyama has always been a very enthusiastic southward theorist, and he is also a British and American theorist. His theory of southward progress and the expulsion of Britain and the United States are completely based on the revival of people of color. He is not talking about Great Orientalism, but about Greater Asianism, nor about Great Japaneseism, but advocating human equality.

In Akiyama's view, it is impossible to become a powerful army country. There is no possibility of becoming an army country in terms of population or resources. The only possibility is to become a powerful maritime country. Therefore, my fate is in the Americas and Australia. That's why he agrees to return Taiwan. Give it back to China to comprehensively improve its relations with China, so as to expand a safe rear and a strong ally for Japan's march in the Pacific Ocean.

But now, from the beginning of receiving the order of the commander, he understands that it is just his dream. It is impossible to accept China across the sea and become a powerful country, just like Britain can't accept a powerful France or Germany. The mainland has always been vigilant.

After once again attributing all the reasons to "oceans and continents" from the bottom of his heart, Akiyama Zhenzhi, who sat in front of the case, once again thought hard about the battle plan to defeat the Chinese navy. For Akiyama Zhenzhi, every time he thinks about the battle plan, for him, it is a serious intellectual overdraft. He needs Considering everything, not only the navy, but everything from warships to artillery, to sailors, to the environment... and so on.

Finally, in his mind, under his pencil, the schemes were formed one by one, and the schemes were pushed down again. If anyone saw his personal "sea battle deduction", he had to admit that he was a genius, a real genius naval tactician. He often completed dozens of things and hundreds of people. Completed work.

This is Akiyama Zhenzhi, who can no longer find a second person in the Japanese navy.

When Dongxiang Pinghalang walked into the room, he only saw Akiyama sitting in the pile of materials and thinking with his eyes closed. He heard someone go in. He opened his eyes and saw that it was Dongxiang. He seemed to be shocked. He retreated back and pointed to him and said:

"Your Excellency, when did you come? You, you look very bad."

Higashigo Heihachiro, who just came in, was shocked by Akiyama's performance, so he replied.

"I just arrived. Why? Don't you have a specific plan yet? The group of idiots in the headquarters don't know what a naval battle is at all.

When he spoke, Dongxiang Heihachiro sat down. In his opinion, it was impossible for the group of staff to formulate a perfect combat plan. The losses caused by all the combat plans were unbearable, at least they were unwilling to bear them, so he needed a more perfect plan, just like Ma Da. The perfect plan for naval warfare.

The commander's question made Akiyama Zhenzhi close his eyes again, put his hands together, meditated for a minute or two, and then said to him again:

"It's okay, they also know how to give full play to our advantages."

Hingang Heihachiro of Dongxiang was suddenly confused by Akiyama's answer, but he knew that Akiyama had always been so divine, but it was not easy to oppose him, so he thought about it and said to him:

"Those idiots know to give full play to the advantages of the navy, but they don't know that the navy is important to Japan. If it means that we have lost so many warships, Japan will become a second-rate country in the next five years, and at that time, the heavily damaged navy will not be able to force China to end the war. Fight!"

"It's true. In any case, at least 50% of warships will be lost, but one is 50% and the other is 70%! It depends on how you choose!"

Makiyama closed his eyes again, meditated for a few minutes as usual, opened his eyes and said:

"If we fight this battle according to the traditional plan and fight it, it will still be inevitable to fail in the end, at least it is difficult to get what they want."

Listening to this, Togo Heihachiro knew that Akiyama had a relevant plan, so he asked:

"Qishan, tell me your plan and see what you think!"

Looking at Akiyama Zhenzhi, Togo Heihachiro knows that this battle is different from the horse. If you want to win this battle easily, there is almost no possibility. The Chinese are not laborers in the expedition to Russia. If you want to win them, you can only find a tactical way.

"If it starts, the Zhiyuan ship alone is enough for us to have a headache. According to the information we have now, the ranging and aiming system of the Zhiyuan ship is more advanced than ours. Eight 13.5-inch cannons, one volley, at least one shot will hit the warship, only a few minutes, or even less. You can hit a warship!"

"Yes!"

Dongxiang nodded heavily, and Zhiyuan was an obstacle that could not be bypassed. "When they sailed to Surin, in order to show that they were a powerful warship, the average speed was as high as 22.5 knots from sailing out of Sanduao. For warships, this was an unprecedented high speed, and it continued. The whole voyage, even our fastest cruiser, is difficult to catch up with him, not to mention that this is a continuous voyage, coupled with the 13.5-inch main gun, the perfect combination of firepower and speed, for the Imperial Navy, Zhiyuan is simply a nightmare!"

"There is nothing we can do to deal with Zhiyuan ships. We have a great advantage in the number of ships, so if the tactics are right, we can still sink him. They only have one to two Zhiyuan ships, but, sir, all the deductions we have carried out are around 13-18, and two Zhiyuan ship is about six warships. Although the quality of the Chinese navy is not as good as that of our army, and it is not proficient in the lack of new warships, considering that it has two Zhiyuan ships and two first-class warships..."

When it comes to first-class warships, Akiyama Zhenzhi frowned. The two first-class warships are Japanese! It was the Chinese navy that salvaged the warship of Japan. It was not until the second one was recovered that Japan found that they had salvaged the warships of the United Fleet. Although the Ministry of Foreign Affairs protested to China, was it useful at this time?

"Two Zhenhai and five "Yuan" characters are only second-class warships with 10-inch naval guns, so in the deduction, although we hit the Chinese navy hard and sank all the warships except Zhiyuan and Jingyuan using their high-speed escape, the joint fleet also suffered heavy losses, of which the biggest threat is Zhiyuan and Jingyuan. And in the whole process of military chess, the Chinese tactics are..."

Looking up at Togo Heihachiro, Akiyama Zhenzhi was waiting for his answer.

"The other ship attracts firepower, provides cover for Zhiyuan and Jingyuan, and borrows the strong firepower of the two ships to hit or sink!"

Higashigo Heihachiro slowly said that a "Chinese military tactic" formulated by the naval staff headquarters on the basis of full analysis of the Chinese navy. This tactic seems to be suspected of "self-harm", but it is similar to his own enemy's forward turn against the horse, and according to the deduction, this tactic is undoubtedly the most successful. Of.

"So..."

Makiyama took a pencil and drew a circle on the list of Chinese naval warships, looking up at Dongxiang.

"If we want to win, and we don't hurt our muscles and bones, we can only do this!"

While talking, Qiushan turned out another chart, and then drew a big "X" on the chart. Looking at the "X" Dongxiang, who was almost shocked, he looked at Qiushan Zhenzhi's blood-covered eyes, and after a long time, he came back to his senses and said.

"Qishan, you mean..."
