General, the Emperor Qin Chong's patrol team is adding the advice of the Iwami Iwami Tezuki to the south. If we attack them from both sides, I believe that we can destroy the enemy without waiting for General Ito Youheng to arrive in person.

Lieutenant General No Harusaki thought for a while and said, "Seeing the smoke in front of him, it seems that the enemy is very strong, so we should do our best!"

"Hi!" Colonel Fujita pointed to the chart and said, "We are now sailing southeastward with the right rudder.

The third team sailed southwest. According to the degree of the Imperial Qin Navy heavy patrol team, our encirclement location will be north of Bazang Island 35 nautical miles away. According to the distance of the fire exchange, before the encirclement, we will exchange fire with the enemy, and there are still twenty minutes left before the fire exchange."

Lieutenant General No Harusaki nodded with satisfaction: "Very good, your chart calculation is very accurate! You are worthy of being a top student in the empire!"

Colonel Fujita hurriedly said, "The general is wrong! This is my duty!"

Lieutenant General No Harusaki said happily: "Okay. Try to encircle the enemy fleet before six o'clock, and destroy them before dark!"

"Hi!" Fujita hurriedly deployed along the Atlantic coast, outside the Portuguese Goa, and the huge Russian Far East fleet temporarily docked on the ocean near the Portuguese Assyrian Islands.

On the flagship Alexander III, General Rozedestvinsky, commander of the Russian Far East Fleet, was closing his eyes and pondering.

Now there is an important decision for him to make a decision, which makes him very troubled.

"Damn the Admiralty, everything is a bargain!" General Rozedestvinsky kept cursing the Admiralty of the Russian Empire.

The Russian Navy, which was high and above, thought it was very powerful and did not understand too much about the changes in the surrounding world.

Now that they are suffering from bad consequences, the bigwigs of the Russian Navy are naively thinking that as long as they build a large number of warships, they can destroy the world's power. They don't even know that they have built a bunch of battleships in a crazily manner, but because of their tonnage, they cannot pass through the Suez Canal's carrying capacity.

The average water depth of the Suez Canal at this time is 8 meters, and the width of the narrow canal is only fifty-five meters. According to the draft and width of the Russian first-class battleship, it is a joke to go there, and even second-class battleships dare not take risks.

Another reason is that the Suez Canal is jointly managed by Britain and France, but in fact it is controlled by Britain. Moreover, Britain stationed nearly 100,000 troops in the breeding areas near the Suez Canal. Now is an extraordinary period, and there is no problem with the relationship between the Emperor and Qin government and Britain.

General Rozedestvinsky's urgent telegram returned to the Russian Navy, but the Navy's reply was "research and research"

"Research" naturally left General Rozedestvinsky with nothing to say, so he had to temporarily stop moving forward. He was waiting for news from the Admiralty at the intersection of the Atlantic and the Mediterranean.

As a result, it took a few days to wait. Just as General Rozedestvinsky was urging him one after another and was about to be in trouble, the Admiralty called, and the result of the discussion was to ask the French government to broaden the narrow river channel and clear the silt in the curve.

General Rozedestvinsky almost vomited blood when he was angry about the Russian Navy's approach of sharpening his guns in the face of battle.

"God of General!" said Lieutenant General Rodonev, the chief of staff of the fleet, on the side: "We can't count on them anymore! You know, they are nothing except making money and playing with women! They will not care about our affairs, as long as we win, even if we complete the task."

General Rozedestvinsky sighed: "It's very difficult now. If there were no raids from the Emperor Qin Navy along the way, we could now divide the troops into two groups. The battleship formations headed south along the Atlantic Ocean and bypassed the Cape of Good Hope in Africa. Other cruiser formations and deportation formations directly passed through the Suez Canal, and we converged in the Arabian Sea."

Then he said, "But it's not possible now! The Emperor Qin Haijun is following us just like a slime candy. We are now guarding against their sneak attacks every day. Once we divide our troops here, how can our battleship formation get rid of the harassment of the Emperor Qin Haijun?"

Fleet Staff Lieutenant General Rodonev said: "Since you can't divide the troops, you have to take a detour to Feizhou together!"

General Rozedestvinsky said: "But, in that case, our fleet of such a large would have to go around 13,000 nautical miles more. There is no place in Africa that can supply the Imperial Navy. It is difficult for us to deal with the surprise incident."

Lieutenant General Rodonev said: "According to the loading capacity of our supply ships, we can hold our fleet until we reach the Arabian Sea, but if the middle is harassed by the Emperor Qin Navy, delay the trip or our transport ship is attacked, then our situation will be very worrying."

As an old capitalist empire, Russia's colonial policy is different from that of Britain and France. Britain and France mainly focus on colonial plunder, while Russia mainly focus on colonial expansion, and the plundered colonies were all incorporated into the Russian territory.

Because of this policy, Britain and France have many colonies overseas, but Russia does not. This situation makes Russia seem very passive in the era of coal steam warships, spanning Asia and Europe, accounting for half of Europe and one-third of Asia, but the sea outlets are all at the northernmost corner of the Earth's Eurasian Great Six. The naval operation route can be as high as the earth, and the path of the demolition workers' chapter 357 of Mai Daqing's Demolition Workers [New Year's New Year!]

In the Russo-Japanese War in history, Japan won. The biggest factor was that Russia did not have a supply and coal replenishment station. The Japanese Navy was waiting for it, and the Russian Navy underestimated the enemy, so that it could completely defeat the Russian Navy.

Although the Russian Far East Fleet has long been prepared for the Imperial Qin Navy, and its scale is more than twice as large as the Russo-Japanese War in history. However, the Imperial Qin Navy is much stronger than the Japanese Navy in history, and has more ocean-going combat power than Japan. It is also a British military alliance. It can artificially create harassing tactics and complete the strategic deployment of waiting for work.

These were originally something the Russian Navy did not expect, and the shamelessness of Emperor Qin's navy played the cards. Now no one joked about why Zhang Yunfei had built nine destroyer fleets that could fight from afar. It was not because of lack of money, nor to boost courage, but because he actually planned the Russians.

In the Russian Admiralty, Russian Tsar Nicholas II could continue to daydream, but General Rozedes Twinsky no longer dared to underestimate his enemies.

General Rorithestvinsky sighed: "It is worthy of being the Eastern Empire of ancient civilization. This kind of harassing and exhausting tactic was clearly stipulated in the Warring States Period in China two thousand years ago. Unfortunately, I only understand it now, and it is even more a pity that the emperor and the great masters of the empire still do not understand it!"

Lieutenant General Rodonev frowned and said, "Grandmaster, no one will listen now even if you speak out. Even if the ministers of the Admiralty accept your opinion, do you think that His Majesty the Tsar will let us return to Moscow?"

General Rorithestvinsky smiled bitterly and said, "How can I not know His Majesty's temper? I suffered a loss last time and had been holding back for a long time. Now it's finally time to wait for the opportunity. We suddenly proposed to go back. People all over the world know that we are afraid of Emperor Qin China. Where can the face of His Majesty the Tsar be put?"

Lieutenant General Rodonev nodded and said, "So, General, we can no longer look back. It is a blessing or a disaster for all the concubines to face the challenge! Now you should not be depressed, we will definitely come up with a solution! As long as our fleet exists, we will not lose the war."

General Rorithestvinsky sighed: "You are right. Now the Emperor Qin China is going to war with us and Japan at the same time. There are also German and other powerful people preparing to take advantage of the situation. The Emperor Qin China's situation is not much better! The Far East War Zone can launch a full-scale attack when we arrive. China also needs to defeat our navy in order to control the Far East War. Success and failure are all after the decisive battle between our Far East Navy and the Emperor Qin Royal Pacific Fleet.

Lieutenant General Rodonev smiled and said, "Fortunately, there is still a Japanese joint fleet in the Far East. Although it cannot cover the Imperial 6th Army to land on the coast of China, at least it is intimidating the Imperial Qin Navy and cannot carry out the landing in the Imperial Far East on a large scale. As long as the Japanese Navy can survive until we arrive, then I think even if the Imperial Qin Navy is waiting for it, I cannot defeat the Japanese and Russian navies at the same time, and even Britain will not dare to make a promise.

General Rozedestvinsky nodded and said, "Yes, now our hopes of victory are pressing on the Japanese Navy, and I hope they can last until the moment we arrive!"

Lieutenant General Rodonev said: "This is no problem. Now the whole world knows that the Japanese joint fleet is like a turtle, huddling in the military port and dare not come out.

General Rozedestvinsky felt it was right and said, "I hope so! I decided to keep the entire fleet in a whole and circle the Cape of Good Hope in Africa. This is the safest solution."

Lieutenant General Rodonev asked, "So, what about the supply problem?"

General Rozedestvinsky thought for a moment and said, "Fill all the supply ships with supplies. At the same time, the excess space of each ship is also loaded with supplies, so that we have enough supplies to bypass Africa.

Lieutenant General Rodonev frowned and said, "You mean, let the warships be filled with coal?"

General Rorithestvinsky nodded and said, "Yes! There is only one way now! I really can't think of any other way! Where are you?"

Lieutenant General Rodonev shook his head and said, "No! But since this, all warships are loaded with supplies, and our degree is much slower! What should we do if the enemy ships attack sneak attack?"

General Rorithestvinsky smiled and said, "When we don't load, the enemy has attacked a lot! Don't worry, we just need to be careful and be wary and leave."

After passing the plan of General Rozedes Twinsky, commander of the Far East Fleet, and Lieutenant General Rodonev, the Russian Far East Fleet gave up the plan to divide the troops through Africa. After France completed its supply, it turned into the Atlantic Ocean with a huge turn. It headed south to the Cape of Good Hope in Feizhe and began a long-distance sailing in the barn sea.

At the same time, the Ninth Destroyer of the Imperial Qin Royal Navy also took advantage of this time to complete the renovation at the Portsmouth Military Port in the UK and brought supply ships. On the second day after the Russian Far East Fleet left the British Port and headed south to follow the Russian Far East Fleet.

At the same time, the fifth and sixth destroyer fleets of the Imperial Qin Royal Navy, which came out of the Subic Naval Base in Luzon Prefecture, had also entered the Indian Ocean. After receiving a telegram from Major General Huang Mingqian, the commander of the Ninth Destroyer, he immediately left the port of southern British India. He crossed the Maldives Islands and headed south to Madagascar, preparing to join the Ninth Destroyer Fleet in Cape Town, a British South African colony.
