Chapter 196 The Outcome Of This Battle (First Update, Please Subscribe!)
Six 'Mikhail I-class' battleships, 12 'Mosk-class' heavy cruisers, 18 'Rostov-class' destroyers, and 24 A-class destroyers of the local fleet of the Russian Empire Navy.
As well as the battleship 'Navarin' of the Pacific Fleet, four battleships of the 'Ekaterina II class', the armored cruiser 'Tsarist Empire', the armored cruiser 'Rurik', the armored cruiser 'Pamitzova' The cruiser and Admiral Nasimov' armored cruiser, as well as six protected cruisers, all left the Cam Ranh Bay Naval Base
As soon as the Tsarist Russian Navy left the military port, the warships that had been standing outside the military port until the sun never set immediately sent a telegram.
"The Russians have gone to sea, and the opportunity for the Orientals has come. Tell the Orientals immediately that the Russians are dispatched. Next, it's up to them!" Said the armored cruiser 'Blaike' of the Royal Navy's Mediterranean Fleet on which the sun never sets On, Brigadier General Weems gave the order.
"Yes, Your Excellency the General!" Lieutenant Colonel Howard replied.
The man who never sets the sun has been with the Tsarist Russian Navy's home fleet all the way, and has been closely monitoring the actions of the Tsarist Russian Navy.
Now 03, the Tsarist Russian Navy has finally left the Cam Ranh Bay Naval Port. Then, the Orientals naturally cannot let go of this opportunity.
People who never set the sun desperately hope that the Orientals can annihilate the Tsarist Russian Navy in one fell swoop in this naval battle.
"Your Excellency, do you think the Japanese or the Russians will win the naval battle this time?" Lieutenant Colonel Howard asked.
After all, the strength of the Tsarist Russian navy in front of him does not seem to be weak! This made him wonder, can the Japanese really win?
Brigadier General Wilms shook his head: "Neither the Russians nor the Orientals are winners. There is only one winner, and that is the Empire. Of course, from the perspective of the Empire, it is natural that the Orientals won this battle, It is the most beneficial. I hope that this time, the Orientals will not let us down.
"The Orientals have a very high chance of winning this time. If they only rely on themselves, they probably won't be the opponents of the Russians at all. But, didn't we give them a hand? In this case, their chances of winning are much greater That's it," Lieutenant Colonel Howard said.
Brigadier General Wilms shook his head: "Lieutenant Colonel, we have nothing to do with this war. We just have a normal arms trade with the Orientals. We must not let the Russians catch The slightest handle. Otherwise, the consequences will be very serious.
"Yes, Your Excellency General, I understand!" Lieutenant Colonel Howard nodded repeatedly.
In any case, no one who never sets the sun can admit to being involved in this war, otherwise, it will definitely cause a lot of unnecessary troubles.
On the battleship Mikhail I, the flagship of the Tsarist Russian Navy's home fleet, Lieutenant General Rozhestvinsky put down the binoculars in his hand, with a smile on his face.
"It seems that the people who never set the sun have already informed the Dongyang people that we are dispatched. If I don't expect it, we will encounter the Dongyang people within two days." Lieutenant General Jestwinski said.
"Yes, if the Dongyang people dare to come to us for the final decisive battle, then the man on whom the sun never sets will be of great help to us. Otherwise, if the Dongyang people keep running away, it will be very difficult for us to catch them ...Of course, if we directly enter the Tsushima Strait and cut off the supply line of the Japanese army, then the Japanese navy will have no way to hide.” Lieutenant General Carlos Ma said.
The Tsarist Russian Navy's battle plan this time is very clear, that is to defeat the Eastern Empire Navy in one fell swoop and win the battle.
They also considered whether the Dongyang Navy had the courage to fight them decisively. If the Dongyang people avoided the battle, the fleet would enter the Tsushima Strait and cut off the supply line of the Dongyang Army. In this case, the Eastern Navy will be forced to fight a decisive battle with the Tsarist Russian Navy. Otherwise, they can only watch the supply lines of their large army be cut off, and then be easily wiped out by the Tsarist Russian army.
It can be said that the Tsarist Russian Navy has a way to force the Orientals to fight against them.
Of course, at present, the Tsarist Russian Navy thinks it has a chance to win, and it doesn't know that the Orientals have secretly purchased a large number of warships from the Empire on which the sun never sets. Otherwise, maybe I wouldn't be so confident.
The Tsarist Russian Navy went all the way north, sailing north.
They didn't intend to look for traces of the Orientals, but waited for the Orientals to come to their door.
At this moment, all the warships of the Eastern Navy Combined Fleet gathered in the South China Sea hundreds of kilometers away from Cam Ranh Bay.
On the battleship Mikasa, the flagship of the United Fleet, Lieutenant Admiral Togo Heihachiro, Commander of the United Fleet, Chief of Staff Hayao Shimamura, and Rear Admiral Oliver, Deputy Commander of the Far East Fleet of the Imperial Navy on which the sun never sets, are discussing the next battle plan.
Of course, General Oliver is now in the form of a mercenary, commanding the warships sold by the Royal Navy of the Empire of the Sun Never Set to the Navy of the Eastern Empire, assisting the combined fleet of the Eastern Imperial Navy in operations.
Even the flags on those battleships have been changed from the St. George's flag to the Rising Sun flag of the Orientals.
Although, the officers and soldiers of the Royal Navy are very dissatisfied with this, thinking that it is detrimental to the dignity and glory of the Royal Navy. But, for the sake of money, no one cares about it
"Your Excellency, Commander, Your Excellency General. We have received a telegram that the Russian fleet has left the Cam Ranh Bay naval port and entered the South China Sea. Now, their heading is due north. Obviously, the Russians intend to go to the Yellow Sea to assist them Our army is fighting." Said Colonel Hayao Shimamura.
"Now the decisive battle on the ground has entered a critical moment. We must not allow the Russian fleet to reach the Yellow Sea and interfere with the army. Therefore, this battle must end in the South China Sea!" Lieutenant General Togo Heihachiro said.
"I have no objection. Anyway, our strength has already surpassed the Russians. Even if we fight head-on, our chances of winning are very high!" Major General Oliver looked nonchalant.
The Royal Navy has its own pride. They firmly believe that the navies of other countries are rubbish and cannot be compared with them at all.
"Then, let's go straight to the Russian fleet. The combined fleet will face the Russians head-on. The general will lead the Second Fleet and enter the battlefield from the flank. Anyway, we can get accurate information, and the Russians can't run away at all." Drop." Lieutenant General Dongxiang Heihachiro said.
Major General Oliver nodded in approval. .
