In the end, the Russians did not understand what exactly attacked their fleet.
The three fleet armored ships carrying Shenji's troops were attacked immediately. The ammunition depot of the Crown Prince exploded, and the crew and Shenji disappeared in the gorgeous fireworks. The attack on the Poltava began.
It capsized in just 5 minutes. About half of the Shinjis used their own abilities to escape from the battleship that was upside down on the sea, but they were basically half exhausted, and all the weapons of the various Shinjis on board were wiped out.
Only the Shenji troops carried by the Petropavlovsk were relatively intact, but most of their equipment was also lost.
As soon as the goddesses moved to the second flagship Peleste, the second wave of Chinese attacks began. The Peleste was the first to bear the brunt. Also attacked was another fleet armored ship Leitewei San.
Then the goddesses were transferred to the older Victory. At this time, the continuous transfer operations made all the girls exhausted mentally and physically.
But the Chinese attack is not over yet.
Three of the fleet's armored cruisers were brutally attacked, and the Sevastopol fleet armored ship had its steering gear and propeller destroyed, completely losing its ability to move.
In just one night, the main force of the Russian Pacific Fleet basically lost its combat effectiveness, and only one armored ship in the fleet, the Victory, still had relatively complete functions.
But it was not over yet. At dawn the next day, the Chinese Shenji troops appeared above the riddled Russian fleet.
Tsarist Russia's ship-borne goddesses had basically lost their equipment and were all exhausted. Facing the Chinese goddesses who clearly had the advantage in strength, the Russian girls only made symbolic resistance and chose to surrender.
Without the protection of the goddess troops, the Tsarist Russian fleet was like a pile of lambs waiting to be slaughtered. The moment the Chinese goddesses' air carrier appeared, the mast of the Victory raised an infamous white flag.
The Chinese flying aircraft carrier slowly landed on the sea. The yellow dragon flag was flying in the wind on the main mast of the carrier. The five-color navy admiral flag was flying on the highest position of the shorter auxiliary mast, and the Qing Empire flag was flying on the lower part.
The flag of Commander Ji Ying. If there is a staff officer in the Tsarist Russian fleet who is familiar with the establishment of Shen Ji Camp in the Qing Empire, he will definitely recognize that it is the flag of Yuan Weiting, the commander of Shen Ji Camp stationed in Guangdong.
The aircraft carrier approached the Victory, whose decks and artillery positions had been cleared by the Chinese goddesses. After the springboard connected the two ships, the heavily armed soldiers in gray rushed onto the battleship and began to control various positions on the battleship.
Not long after the soldiers boarded the ship, Navy Minister Lin Youde in military uniform appeared on the deck of the aircraft carrier, and standing next to him was Yuan Shikai's sister, the Guangdong Goddess who is said to be most likely to take over the position of Emperor Ji.
The capital of Jiying was controlled by Yuan Weiting.
"I want to say I'm sorry," Lin Youde said to the girl who is likely to be his future rival, "the attack was too effective and I couldn't let you fight happily."
In this battle, Lin Youde only invested 4 rush-made Zhan Crabs and the only 24 electric torpedoes he had on hand. Because the force dispatched was too insignificant, Lin Youde persuaded Yuan Weiting to borrow Yunzhou.
Yuan Weiting led the Guangzhou Shenji Battalion to go north to join the war.
This was Lin Youde's plan to use war crabs to consume the Russian army's Shenji, and then use the Shenji battalion with superior strength to annihilate the enemy. However, he did not expect that the war crabs and electric torpedoes were so effective in combat, directly crippling the Russians.
"It doesn't matter." The enchanting goddess just waved her hand at Lin Youde's apology, "I do long to fight with powerful opponents, but I prefer the delicious taste of overwhelming victory. Hahaha, I really didn't expect that those tin cans of yours can
With such a good effect, it seems that I have underestimated you before, Mr. Lin."
"Underwater combat capability has always been an important part of the navy. We are just making a start in advance." Lin Youde calmly regarded Yuan Weiting's somewhat subtle speech as a compliment. "The navy is originally a service that relies heavily on technological innovation. First,
In the Crimean War, Britain and France relied on the high rate of fire of breech-loading cannons to defeat the Russian Navy. Now we rely on naval warfare, sonar and new torpedoes to defeat the outdated Russian Navy. This is just a repeat.
It’s just history.”….
Those who fall behind will be beaten, and in turn, advanced countries can beat backward countries unscrupulously. Lin Youde, who comes from the 21st century, understands this very well.
In the 21st century, what Lin Youde is most unhappy about is that the international situation has tended to ease. In the post-Cold War era, paper-based wars and deals have become the mainstream. He obviously has far more strength than some small and powerful people, and can easily beat them to national annihilation.
We must also patiently talk to them about peaceful coexistence and shelving disputes and joint development.
Change it to 1900, so what if it's at your doorstep? As long as I'm strong enough and my fist is hard enough, I'll show you even the things in your house. Your things are mine, and mine are still mine. This
It is an era where gangster logic is rampant.
Of course, a hundred years later, the logic of banditry is still the mainstream in the world, but it has been moved under the table. When a weak country faces the law enforcement ships of a big country 2,000 kilometers away patrolling less than 100 nautical miles from home, that is
The only option is to protest, make small moves, or go to the United Nations to make a snitch. Will snitching at the United Nations be useful?
But this kind of situation, you know it, but it's not so happy, right? What most Chinese people like is the feeling of "taking action when it's time to take action". It's not good enough to make money secretly by playing conspiracy, but how can it be done in 100 years?
After the international trend is like this, there is nothing we can do.
It's fine now. If you fall behind, I will beat you. If you are weak, I will bully you. There is no need for any cover or fig leaf. The hegemony of the empire is forged by the humiliation and blood of other countries and nations.
With this in mind, Lin Youde stepped onto the captured enemy ship. A captain came to Lin Youde with the captured Tsarist Russian naval flag and the commander's flag, stood at attention and saluted.
Lin Youde took over these two flags and couldn't help but feel excited.
"Electricity was energized across the country, and our naval officers and soldiers fought bravely and annihilated the main force of the Russian Navy's Pacific Fleet, capturing 31 Russian goddesses and more than 5,500 other generals. At the same time, they captured several warships and warships. The army officers and soldiers carried by the Russian fleet have also become our military
Prisoners under my command. With this victory, our naval officers have taken a solid step towards avenging the humiliation of Sino-Japanese War, and we should share this with the people of the country."
After Lin Youde finished speaking, the communications soldier gave a firm response that could hardly conceal his excitement.
At this time, the heroes of this battle, the Four Fighting Crabs, surfaced. Development code-named m`s`m-02, the special-purpose general "War Crab" for underwater warfare. There is no doubt that this new type of weapon will be very important in the future.
For a long time, it will become the focus of the intelligence agencies of various countries.
Therefore, Lin Youde deliberately instructed the non-commissioned officers of the technical test unit who piloted the Zhan Crab to make some noise when they surfaced.
So the leader of the team, Zhan Crab No. 3 (No. 1 and No. 2 were both failures), jumped out of the water in the posture of a giant whale emerging from the water. A pair of short wings used to provide propulsion stretched on both sides of the flat body, and one pair of multiple claws were specially used.
Turning forward, the entire shape of the machine is full of strong aggression.
The technical experimental troops in black who were on standby on the Yunzhou immediately threw the airbag into the sea. If the crab stopped maneuvering, it would not be able to maintain buoyancy in the water. It could only rely on the airbag for support and then use a crane to recover it.
However, Lin Youde did not let the troops recover the war crab. Instead, he asked the troops to start the loading operation and refill the "torpedo" into the launch tube on the back of the war crab.
In fact, what was loaded in was just an iron rod with a bare appearance. Last night, Lin Youde had already fired all 24 new torpedoes in his hand. Originally, the output of this torpedo was low, and Zhu Rong also had to undertake other production tasks, so the production capacity
It's simply not enough.
So Lin Youde resorted to his favorite trick of bullying the enemy.
Reality and fiction, this is how the Chinese play. Let you white-skinned monkeys see the cunning accumulated by 5,000 years of civilization.
Lin Youde's wife, Josephine, who was also his bodyguard, sighed subconsciously while watching the soldiers in black carefully filling iron lumps that were not dangerous at all with an attitude towards extremely dangerous goods...
"I think the Russians are so pitiful." Josephine whispered.
When Lin Youde heard this, he immediately burst into laughter.
Yuan Weiting had no idea what Lin Youde was up to, so she looked at Lin Youde and his wife with a strange look on her face. Finally, she shook her head and seemed to have decided to give up thinking about the cleverness involved.
"Then, distinguished Lord of the Navy, Acting Governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, Mr. Lin Youde, what should we do next?"
Lin Youde had already prepared for Yuan Weiting's question.
The governor of Guangdong and Guangxi only has the power to request the dispatch of Shenji Camp, and the power to mobilize Shenji Camp belongs to the imperial court.
This time, Lin Youde simply acted first and then acted, taking advantage of the "request for dispatch" rule. At this time, the formal request document had probably just been sent to the Qing court. In addition, the regulations only said that operations could not be carried out outside the land areas of Guangdong and Guangxi, but there were no regulations.
In the area of maritime operations, isn’t the Bohai Sea still connected with the Guangdong Sea?
Lin Youde took advantage of this opportunity, and Yuan Weiting's personality of liking fighting and winning, invited the Shenji Camp from Guangdong, and also borrowed Yuan Weiting's own Yunzhou to transport war crabs.
The Qing court itself did not know about the entire operation. By the time the Russians got the information, the Pacific Fleet had already been destroyed.
That's the thing about cutting first and playing later. If there is a good result, it doesn't matter the order of cutting and playing. If there is no good result, you will be unlucky even if you use the correct order.
As for what to do next, Lin Youde had already planned it.
"After winning such a great victory, of course I have to go to Beijing and present the results to the imperial court and the people of the country."
After saying this, Lin Youde and Yuan Weiting looked at each other and smiled tacitly.
Presenting the spoils of war is just nonsense, and asking for credit and praise from Cixi and Guangxu is the real intention. Moreover, in this war, it is not yet possible to conclude that our army has completely won. The Russian army is still strong, and the Shenji reinforced from the mainland
The troops are also worrying. The Nanyang Army is far away from the base area, so it is indeed a bit difficult to win with the Nanyang Army.
To defeat Russia, we must rely on the strength of the people outside Nanyang. Lin Youde came to Beijing this time to build momentum.
"Mr. Lin," Yuan Weiting showed a malicious smile and deliberately used respectful words in her words, "You just came to Beijing alone like this, aren't you afraid that Lafayette and the iron hat kings around her will take the opportunity to deal with you? And mine?
My elder brother, Yuan Shikai, is also a tycoon who is proficient in assassination. This capital city is like a dragon's pool and a tiger's den."
"When the time comes," Lin Youde responded to Yuan Weiting with the same smirk, "I will ask Yuan Dutong to escort me. If something unexpected happens to me, Yuan Dutong will not have the opportunity to experience this kind of victory over the Western Yi.
"
"Master Lin, are you so sure that I won't be more interested in competing with your wife?"
As she spoke, Yuan Weiting narrowed her eyes and looked at Josephine carefully.
Although Josephine didn't quite understand what was being said between the two, she still held her chest high and showed an aura that was not inferior to that of Yuan Weiting, and faced the provocation of the Chinese goddess in an upright manner.
Yuan Weiting smacked her tongue.
"I can hardly hold myself back and want to fight her."
For some reason, Lin Youde almost misheard this sentence as "Holy Light, that enemy is worth fighting."
"You can have a good competition at the martial arts arena in the capital." Lin Youde said.
Yuan Weiting's smile took on the usual evil vibe for a moment: "How can that kind of acting that stops at the right moment compare to the pleasure of going to the flesh with a knife?"
"That's it," Lin Youde shrugged, "Then, can you please wait for five years? In five years, you two should be able to fight happily."
"Did I just hear some terrible secret?"
"There is no secret. Everyone can see that the era of competition among heroes is coming."
Facing Lin Youde who made the treacherous remarks, the scorching-eyed enchantress stared at his face with a smile but not a smile. Finally, she grinned and showed a smile that reminded people of a weasel greeting a chicken in the New Year: "Okay, I'll just wait.
Five years. If you want to take over the world in five years, you must first step on my corpse."
After saying this, Yuan Weiting turned around and gave a loud order to her adjutant: "Send the order, the squadron will return in triumph!"
