The Rise of the Empire

"However, it is impossible for us to ambush our opponents in the South China Sea, so we can only wait for them in the East China Sea and the Yellow Sea, is that right?" Dongxiang Heihachiro said after looking at his first staff officer. \u003c/p\u003e"No, it can't be the Yellow Sea, it can only be the East China Sea!" Akiyama Shinyuki corrected. "After all, we are only speculating that the Russians will go back to Lushun, but what if they head to Vladivostok? Once they arrive in Vladivostok, they will immediately have the power to confront the combined fleet head-on, and even the few warships thrown by the Russians in Lushun may It was just a cover to draw our attention here, and then they concentrated their main fleet in Vladivostok, gathered warships purchased from the United States, and fought us directly! The time they chose to start the war will not be too late! They may want to How about we get rid of us before Vladivostok freezes?"\u003c/p\u003e "Hiss..." Everyone present, including Togo Heihachiro, gasped. This guess was simply too scary. At the beginning of the meeting, the Japanese imagined that they were a group of seasoned hunters preparing to catch their prey. They were planning, calculating, and preparing to hunt a group of deer, but who knew that what they faced was not a deer at all, but a deer. It's a group of lions, and the other party puts on deerskin and waits for him to come up to die. If it is true what Akiyama Shinyuki said, the Russians are going to Vladivostok and then join the fleet of Essen, then it is really possible.\u003c/p\u003e Looking back, I am ready to fight back against the United Fleet! \u003c/p\u003e "Okay then, we will intercept our opponents in the East China Sea. However, this requires the preparation of a lot of camouflaged reconnaissance ships and radio equipment, and we must also hide the whereabouts of our fleet. I will leave these matters to Akiyama-kun." Dongxiang Heihachiro Said. \u003c/p\u003eThe United Fleet has decided to ambush in the East China Sea, but it is really uncertain in which area the battle will take place.... After all, when to discover the whereabouts of the Russian fleet is a problem, and when to encounter the Russian fleet is another problem.... The Japanese can't decide on this! \u003c/p\u003e And just when the Japanese were preparing to cheat again and kill the Makanov fleet in one fell swoop to reach the victory at sea, the Russians were doing the same thing. At the Riga Naval Base on the coast of the Baltic Sea in Russia, Makanov, who was about to set off, greeted a guest from the United States, and this guest was the US Navy Admiral Rear Admiral Benson who had just visited the prince in Bavaria. He came this time to prepare to hand over the first batch of warships to the Russians. \u003c/p\u003e "On behalf of the Imperial Russian Navy, I first express my gratitude to your country and your support for Russia. However, I have some objections to your plan to hand over warships. If my fleet will join your fleet in the South China Sea, I will I'd rather have two battleships than two cruisers, because, as you have just feared, if the Japanese are going to intercept us halfway, what we need is not a fast cruiser but a battleship that can fight and resist. " Makanov said straight to the point. \u003c/p\u003e"This is just our guess, and the possibility of this happening is not great. You are a soldier, and there is nothing wrong with considering the issue from a military point of view, but as the United States of America, you must consider it from a political and overall perspective. Focus. First of all, we can sell battleships to your country, so the British can also support Japan. If we directly provide battleships, it may stimulate the sensitive nerves of the British. Naturally, this result is something we don't want to see. "\u003c/p\u003e"Secondly, we can only maintain cruisers such as the Pearl and the Sapphire in the port of Kaiser Wilhelm's territory. And this is under the condition of Germany's full help, and these two warships are part of our Far East Fleet , if we deploy two cruisers here, Britain and Japan will not react, but if we deploy two battleships,

But it is different, so I hope you can understand the difficulties of the United States of America. "Benson explained very patiently.\u003c/p\u003e"I can understand that we are very grateful for your country's help. "Makanov's eyes showed a hint of disappointment.\u003c/p\u003e"If nothing else happens, the two cruisers will go to Cam Ranh Bay to meet after your fleet arrives in the Far East. The crew of your country is already familiar with these The battleship is ready. With the help of our technicians, it can quickly form combat effectiveness. As for the two battleships, the relevant personnel are also undergoing training. Half a month before your country and Japan officially declare war, our battleships will arrive in Vladivostok according to your request. "Benson said.\u003c/p\u003e"But I have always had a question, why do you want to divide the huge fleet into two parts? Whether it is your fleet in Lushun or the fleet in Vladivostok, simply looking at the strength is not as good as the Japanese fleet, why can't we gather the fleet together? "\u003c/p\u003e "Well, because there is no port that can accommodate a fleet of this size, maybe Lushun can, but its channel is too narrow, and it is likely to be blocked by the enemy. As for concentration? I have an idea, but it's not mature yet. "Makanov said with a slight smile.\u003c/p\u003e"Then I look forward to you and your fleet fighting a naval battle comparable to Cape Trafalgar in the Far East! Use steel and flames to cut out the biggest cancer in the Far East. "Benson realized that he seemed to have touched the opponent's tactics, and Makanov didn't seem to tell himself. Let me remind you, my friend, that your fleet may not have smooth sailing on its way to the Far East, where that vile country is likely to start an undeclared war like the previous two times. "Benson said after some consideration.\u003c/p\u003e"Are we mutual friends? I don't think so. "For Bavaria, Makanov himself has no good impressions. Compared with Germany, Makanov is more inclined to bring Russia and France closer. After all, there is no fundamental conflict of interest between the two countries. But for that ** He still pays more attention to the warning from **, after all, this time the Russian navy is fighting away.\u003c/p\u003e "I think the Ministry of the Navy will make some arrangements, thank you for your reminder. Makanov said gratefully. The Russians were alert to Japan's possible actions, and then, at the last moment before Makanov's departure, the Russians did make some arrangements. Of course, whether it works or not depends on Only time will tell. So far, after the Philippine sea battle, the ocean has not been calm for a few years, and a larger-scale storm is gradually brewing, and the winner will become the overlord of the Far East ocean. But no matter who wins, Both the Kaiser and Ruprecht*** believed that this war would be of great benefit to Germany.\u003c/p\u003eThe second one is here~~~!
