2ooo164o1 Chapter 426 Neglected Local War

Lieutenant General Gankovsky nodded! "It's the British sphere of influence. If the British deliberately cover up the Chinese navy, they can attack forward and back when we pass the strait, the consequences will be unimaginable!"

There are many islands and reefs in Malacca, Southeast Asia. It is not suitable for large-scale warships to pass, especially the annual silt at the exit location of Malacca, which causes the average water depth to be less than Limi, and large battleships may run into the reef or fall into silt.

"So I'm going to change the route!" General Rozedes Twinsky then took a chart and pointed at it and said, "After we pass through the Indian Ocean, we will not pass through the Strait of Malacca from northern Australia along the Dutch Indies!"

Lieutenant General Pingkovsky picked up the ruler and gestded on the chart for a while and said: "We need to walk this route for ten days first. Secondly, we pass between Australia and the Dutch East Indies. Although there is no need to worry about the Chinese Navy at this distance, once we enter the Pacific Ocean through Australia, it is completely within the control of the Chinese Navy!"

General Rozedestvinsky was preparing to enter the Pacific from northern Australia directly to avoid complex sea conditions such as the Strait of Malacca and the South China Sea to prevent being conquered by the Emperor Qin Navy.

son.

"Actually, I choose this way. First, I want to sail safely to avoid the traditional sphere of influence of the Chinese navy. Second, I want to be prepared to fight the Emperor Qin Navy in advance!"

"What?" Lieutenant General Pinkovsky was stunned for a moment and asked immediately: "You have to think clearly about our current situation, can we fight the main force of the Chinese Navy?"

Then he said: "Firstly, our fleet has not yet been inspected and the warships have been severely strained. Their navigation has been severely declining. Secondly, some of our ammunition transport ships were raided by the Emperor Qin Navy. The fleet destroyed the remaining ammunition in order to maintain the combat needs for a long time. Thirdly, our fleet is now seriously under non-combat reductions in morale, and the crew's physical condition cannot withstand large-scale combat consumption."

General Rozedestvinsky nodded in agreement and he knew these situations, but he was increasingly worried about the future situation.

Since the Russian Far East Fleet left the Baltic Sea, it has been attacked by the Ninth Destroyer of the Emperor Qin Navy from its entry into the North Sea.

This tactic will naturally understand the strategic and tactical intentions for General Rozedestvinsky.

The military tactics of exhausted soldiers were recorded as a strategy as early as the Warring States Period in China, and General Rorithestvinsky, a specialist in Chinese military tactics, naturally understood the purpose of this tactic.

For the Russian Navy, this kind of sailing that crossed the ocean almost circled the earth was already far away.

At the end of the power, you cannot break through Lu Zhi! Even if the Russian navy runs so far, how many chances of victory can there be left?

The longer the decisive battle with the main force of the Chinese navy, the more unfavorable it will be for the Russian Navy. Therefore, General Rozedes Twinsky decided to bypass the Dutch East Indies and directly attack China's naval base... Guam thus forces the Chinese Navy to fight the main force of the Russian Navy.

Because once the Russian Navy conquered Guam, it could get supplies and even use the Imperial Qin Navy's maintenance dock in Guam to repair Russian warships. As a result, the Imperial Qin Navy's harassment tactics on the Russian fleet were all wasted.

Therefore, General Rorithestvinsky's tactic can also be traced back to the famous battles in China during the Warring States Period. It besieged Wei and saved Zhao, or called it a fire-cutting fire from the bottom of the pot, which forced the main force of the Emperor Qin Navy to fight the Russian fleet.

After knowing General Rozedes Twinsky's combat intentions, Lieutenant General Pinkovsky's eyes lit up and nodded frequently. Because this tactic is too clever, it can not only avoid the danger of going deep into the Far East and waiting for an opportunity to ambush the Chinese Navy, but may also seize the Guam Naval Base as a supply to rest the Far East Fleet.

The most important thing is that once the Emperor Qin Navy is forced to fight the decisive battle with the main force of the Russian fleet, although the Russian Far East Fleet is currently exhausted, there is still information about defeating the Chinese Navy, but it will only cost more than expected.

"God of General, I support your idea!" Lieutenant General Pinkovsky said: "This tactic is very wise. The Chinese Navy must have thought we would take a shortcut to the Strait of Malacca to help the Far East. Therefore, they relaxed their harassment against us, and we could hurry up and rest. It would be better to create the illusion that we headed to the Strait of Malacca. Confused Emperor Qin's eyes and then unexpectedly captured Guam to obtain our necessary supplies and warship maintenance bases."

General Rorithestvinsky nodded and said, "It is of course the best to capture Guam and obtain the supplies we must do! But the Chinese Navy will not let us approach Guam so easily at least it will take us a month to cross the Indian Ocean what happened during this period. We couldn't predict it. Therefore, now we have to make the worst plan, which is to fight the Chinese Navy directly."

Lieutenant General Pinkovsky also knew that the enemy in front of him was very difficult to deal with, and he had not yet been defeated since the day of his rise and almost always won every naval battle with a complete victory. Although the Chinese Navy is known for sneak attacks in the world, it can always predict that the enemy will succeed in sneak attacking. This is not just a matter of luck.

"We cannot let the Chinese Navy lead the way! Lieutenant General Pinkovsky said!" We must master the sea area we set to fight with the Chinese Navy in the way we set naval battles!"

Although Lieutenant General Pinkovsky's words were correct, all naval commanders around the world wanted to fight in the sea area they had set up in their own designs of naval combat.

But where are there so many wishful things in the world?

General Rozedestvinsky just smiled lightly.

"According to the telegram just arrived from the Navy Department, the Chinese Navy Pacific Fleet won the victory with an average of three to four quarters higher than the Japanese Combined Fleet in the Midway Navy. Therefore, when we were fighting the main force of the Chinese Navy, we would suffer a great loss on the flight, so we must form a complete square formation to prevent being divided by the Emperor Qin Navy and give them the opportunity to annihilate them in each case.

Lieutenant General Pingkovsky nodded and said, "The Japanese Navy underestimated the firepower and hit rate of the Chinese Navy. However, their biggest mistake was to underestimate the warships of the Imperial Qin Navy. Now that the British launched the Battleships of the USS Fearless, this sounded the alarm for us. The battleships can reach the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the

General Rozedestvinsky sighed: "Compared with the British naval industry, the Russian Empire is a nearly generation behind the technical level. The Chinese Navy is an ally of the British Navy and its naval industry is built by the British. So their warships will not be much worse than British warships in terms of degree and peak maintenance time!"

If General Rozedes Twinsky knew that the reason why Britain's peak aviation could last for an hour was because of the technology provided by the Chinese Navy's arsenal, he would know that he still underestimated the Chinese Navy.

Lieutenant General Pinkovsky said: "We have twenty first-class battleships on the main battleships. Fourteen second-class battleships and sixteen cruisers. The Emperor Qin Royal Navy Pacific Fleet has nine teams in total. The second team has nine first-class battleships, the third-class battleships, the fourth-class battleships, the fifth team has twelve heavy cruisers, the sixth, the seventh, the eighth, and the ninth team has sixteen cruisers.

Then he said: "First, our two sides have slightly different definitions of warships other than battleships. The Emperor Qin Navy divided the battleships below the battleship into heavy cruisers and light cruisers. Light cruisers are the same as our cruisers. Although they are faster than our second-class battleships in terms of degree, they are not as strong as us in armor protection. We must have an advantage in terms of survival.

"At the same time," Lieutenant General Pinkovsky continued: "We have this absolute numerical advantage. Although our warships will be worse than their degree due to strain problems when the war begins, as long as we form a solid defensive formation and bombard them with a large number of main guns. I think even if the Emperor Qin Navy has rich combat experience, as long as we keep changing, they will have no way to deal with us. If we aim to attack Guam or Manila or even Subic, then it will force the Emperor Qin Navy to have to fight our main force."

General Rozedestvinsky nodded and was very satisfied with Pinkovsky's analysis, but he also had shortcomings.

"You seem to have forgotten something!"

Then he said: "The Chinese Navy won the Battle of Midway and captured two battleships of the Japanese Navy and five large armored cruisers. After modification and maintenance, it has been incorporated into the battle sequence of the Imperial Qin Navy's Pacific Fleet. In other words, their number of battleships has reached!! The heavy cruisers have reached 1. We have no advantage in second-class battleships.

"Lieutenant General Pingkovsky obviously did not consider this factor and asked melancholy: "How could the Chinese Navy modify the Japanese warships so quickly?"

General Rozedestvinsky sighed: "I have always believed that the more warships are built, the better the number of naval battles is!

"The world's navy is ranked by naval tonnage. It's understandable that you think so," said Pinkovsky.

"I thought so at that time!" General Rorithestvinsky said: "When I learned that the Chinese Navy had only built a 99 Fleet, I was surprised to find that I could be famous for all ages. Because our huge fleet destroys them as simple as crushing an ants."

"So

"Now I have carefully studied the strategy and tactical intentions of the Chinese Navy. The Chinese Navy is taking a new path of development!"

“A new path?”

"That's right." General Rozedes Twensky continued: "In the telegram from the observer of the Pacific Fleet to the Empire, France said that the Chinese Navy's tactical requirements were: do not ask for more sailors. But seek to be precise and armaments, do not ask for more warships. But seek to be more logistics supplies. For combat requirements, do not ask for one hundred goals, one hundred goals, but one hundred goals, one hundred goals, one hundred goals, one hundred goals, one for one.

Lieutenant General Pinkovsky said: "I'm afraid even the British Navy can't do it all!"

"But they are insisting on doing it." General Rorithestvinsky sighed: "And it's almost done, just one step away from it!

Seeing that Pingkovsky was confused, Luokouyou heard General Tsky smile and said! "It's the decisive battle with us! Win throwing away" means that their path is correct. If the failure means that our route is right!"

Lieutenant General Pinkovsky nodded and said, "Actually, I feel that their tactical requirements are correct! Because we are exactly the collective that they don't ask for. Our warships have more sailors and more cannons, but there are few pitiful elite soldiers with less logistics. Not to mention that many of our cannons have not fired a single shot yet?"

General Rorithestvinsky nodded and said, "So although our fleet is powerful, the logistics cannot keep up. It's like on the battlefield! One hundred rifles equipped with one bullet will fight a rifle equipped with one hundred bullets. There is only one chance for one round. If you can't kill the opponent in the first round, the one who fails is yourself! The other party will push the gun to your forehead and then carry the trigger and kill you one by one. But you are unable to resist because you don't have bullets.

Lieutenant General Pinkovsky sighed: "Yes! We are those hundred rifles that seem powerful but actually have only one bullet, but they are strong at the outside but do not have the inside."

"French observers told us that the Chinese Navy is practicing all live-fire shooting in a crazy manner. It is said that many gun barrels have been replaced more than three times. According to the average service life of 14 to 24 of the barrel, each of their gunners fired at least five hundred shells. In contrast, our warships are mostly newly built sailors. The average number of live-fire shootings is small. Poor, it is a pity that most soldiers have not even touched the real shells?"

General Rorithestvinsky asked with a frown: "That is to say, we are completely at a disadvantage in the case of single-soldier combat, single-ship confrontation, or single-team fighting fire!"

Lieutenant General Pinkovsky nodded and took a long breath and said, "You can understand this way! Our only advantage now is the number advantage on the main battleship. If we suffer a sneak attack in one day, it means the defeat of the entire fleet."

General Rozedes Twinsky heard the meaning of Pinkovsky's words, but he still said his meaning tactfully and asked, "Do you don't agree with a decisive battle as soon as possible?"

Lieutenant General Pinkovsky nodded and said, "What you know about our fleet now is rest and rest. Although the method you mentioned is very feasible, I still think that the severe strain of the warships of our fleet is not enough to affect our combat effectiveness. Therefore, I think we should go to Jakarta first to rest and rest and then seek a decisive battle with the main force of the Chinese Navy!"

General Rorithestvinsky shook his head and said, "You may not know the situation in Southeast Asia! In fact, Southeast Asia is also in chaos now, no better than our Far East!"

He looked at Pingkovsky and continued: "During the Sino-French War, there was a commercial country in the north of the Dutch East Indies. The Netherlands took advantage of the time when the Qing government had no time to take care of overseas efforts to destroy the Lanfang Republic, but the Dutch took advantage of the strength of China and did not dare to announce the annexation of Lanfang, but it had actually ruled Lanfang."

Pinkovsky asked, "You want to

General Rozedestvinsky smiled and said: "The Emperor Qin government supported a descendant of the general of the Lanfang Republic to establish a powerful Lanfang restored **. At the same time, in politics, the Qin government claimed that the Lanfang Republic was a vassal state of China and used a powerful navy to deter the Dutch government, so that the Netherlands was forced to withdraw from Pontianak and restore Chinese rule."

Then he said: "But this is not over yet! Zhang Yunfei is a very ambitious emperor who secretly continued to support the expansion of Lan Fang's army after Lan Fang's restoration, and now he has occupied the entire world. The Dutch East India Colonial Army in Kalimantan is now fighting against Lan Fang's army in the name of suppressing the uprising army!"

"What?" Lieutenant General Pinkovsky asked in shock: "The Netherlands and China also go to war?"

"It would be great if the war started!" General Roztzestervinsky said: "It's a pity that the Dutch did not have the courage to go to war with China, especially the Luzon next to China. There is also the world's largest naval base Subic. If it goes to war with China, it will give the Chinese an excuse to send troops to East India!"

Lieutenant General Pinkovsky asked: "Are the Chinese crazy? Wars are going on everywhere? Are they going to go to war with the whole world? Where did they come from to fight?"

"You are wrong!" General Rorithestvinsky smiled helplessly: "What China does not lack the most is people!"

Then he said: "Especially after they seized Luzon from the Spanish, they implemented comprehensive colonization of the Luzon people, including politics, economy, and culture. 200 million Luzon people can basically understand Chinese. In a few decades, when Chinese culture ruled Luzon, there will be more hundreds of millions of Chinese people in the world. Our Europe has only 200 million people. Think about how scary it is for nearly one billion Chinese people! Do you think they will have no one to fight? Zhang Yunfei's edict will not require recruiting pure Chinese people to easily assemble millions of troops in Luzon alone!"

Pingkovsky sighed: "Southeast Asia is a colony with great powers. The military power is very weak. The rise of Luzon is irresistible."
