"Now, Shuangchengzi has been lost, and the 30,000 troops stationed in Shuangchengzi have been wiped out. Two days later, Vladivostok will face the siege of more than 100,000 teams of CNZ. Is the army ready to deal with the Chinese attack?
"Aleksayev, the Governor of the Far East, asked.
"Governor General, please rest assured that Vladivostok is not a twin city. It is absolutely impossible for the Chinese to conquer Vladivostok. Even if they have the advantage of military strength, we have indestructible fortresses and fortresses. We will definitely let the Chinese in Vladivostok put them in Vladivostok.
Blood is dry!" Lieutenant General Vasily, the commander of the Russian army guarding Vladivostok, said confidently.
"The fortress of Shuangchengzi was completely destroyed by the Chinese artillery fire. Can the fortress of Vladivostok resist it?" Governor Alexeyev said with some concern.
"Don't worry, the fortress of Vladivostok is not comparable to that of the fortress of Shuangchengzi. Most of the fortresses of Vladivostok are more than 450 mm thick, and are poured from steel and cement, and one hundred to two hundred mm are added in the middle.
The steel plate is enough to defend against the bombardment of the Chinese heavy artillery. Unless they use heavy artillery with a caliber of more than 300 mm, don't want to destroy our fortress! However, the navy's coastal defense forces must be careful. When the Chinese attacked Vladivostok
, I will definitely send a fleet!" Vasily said.
Governor Aleksayev turned to look at the commander of the Russian Pacific Fleet, Rear Admiral Vizofert, and asked: "General Vizofert, can the navy resist the Chinese attack?"
"Governor General, I can only say that the Navy will do its best. As for whether it can withstand the attack of the Chinese Navy, only God knows!" Rear Admiral Vizoft said helplessly. The Russian Navy's Pacific Fleet seems to be strong.
The powerful, but the real combat power is far from comparable to the Chinese Navy. The Chinese Navy only needs to send a squadron to destroy the Russian Pacific Fleet. The Russian Pacific Fleet has tens of thousands of people, except for the navy.
In addition to the sailors, there were thousands of coastal defense troops guarding several fortresses in the Vladivostok port.
Alexeyev nodded. Although he was not very satisfied with Rear Admiral Vizofert's answer, he also knew that Rear Admiral Vizofert was telling the truth. The Chinese Navy even the British Navy Far East Fleet could annihilate it.
, let alone the Russian Navy Pacific Fleet.
"General Vizoft, since the navy is not sure to defeat the Chinese, then the navy's warships should be left in the port to make floating turrets! If necessary, they can also support the army's battle in the north!" Alexeyer
The Governor Hu said.
"Governor General, I cannot accept this order. For the honor of the Russian Navy, once the Chinese Navy invades, the Pacific Fleet will fight to the death with the enemy, rather than staying in the port and allowing the enemy to show off their power!" Rear Admiral Vizoft decisively resolutely General Vizoft
Reject.
"Okay, then let it go!" Governor Alekseev said coldly. Since Vizoft is seeking death by himself, he cannot blame him. Although he is the Governor of the Far East, he is in charge of the military affairs of the Far East region.
, but the navy is a relatively opposed group of troops and is directly under the command of Moscow. In addition, he has not taken the broken ships of the Pacific Fleet seriously. Vizofert is looking for death, so he is too lazy to persuade him.
"His Excellency Victor, Vladivostok must remain stable during the war. In addition, the citizens of Vladivostok must be prepared to support the army at any time." Alekseyev said. Victor is the mayor of Vladivostok.
The population of Vladivostok is now as high as 200,000. Almost the entire Far East Russians are concentrated here.
"Governor General, please rest assured that Vladivostok has gathered 20,000 people and can shoulder the heavy responsibility of transporting supplies and wounded troops!" Victor replied with a smile. Now Vladivostok has reserved enough for everyone in Vladivostok to live for a year
Even if Vladivostok is surrounded, there will be no problem. As the mayor of Vladivostok, he also knows how perverted Vladivostok's defense is, and he has great confidence in defending Vladivostok
.
"That's good. We are united and will definitely be able to defend Vladivostok. When we achieve the final victory, everyone will be heroes. His Majesty the Tsar will definitely reward us well at that time!" Alekseyev said with a smile.
.
Everyone looked happy and thought it was foolproof.
Beijing, the Navy Department, and the Navy Minister Zhang Cheng and the local fleet commander Deng Shichang are also deploying the war ahead. The main forces of the local fleet are basically still undergoing maintenance in the shipyard, especially several severely damaged ships.
The heavy cruiser probably has to stay in the shipyard for two or three months. In addition, almost all the main battleships also need to replace the main guns. After two fierce naval battles, the main guns almost broke out, although now
It can continue to be used, but it will undoubtedly be greatly affected in terms of accuracy. Besides, the Navy will face a fierce battle next, and each ship must be raised to the highest level.
"Commander Deng, four 'Qin-class' battleships, will be able to join the fleet at the beginning of next month. The fleet needs to adapt as soon as possible to exert its strongest power in the subsequent naval battle!" Navy Minister Zhang Cheng
Speaking of which, the 'Qin-class' battleships are more powerful than the 'Chinese-class' battleships, and this has become the killer weapon for the Chinese Navy to deal with the British Navy.
"Well! The fleet is ready to receive it. After the sea trial is completed, you can join the fleet. By the way, do you have a plan for the new level of battleships?" Deng Shichang asked. The battleships of the Chinese Navy,
Level one is stronger than level one, and the "Qin-class" battleship is already so powerful. So what about the new level battleship? How powerful will it be? Deng Shichang is very much looking forward to it.
"The new-class main ship will probably take two years to serve. After the Qin-class battleship was put into service, the main force began to concentrate on the construction of the "Bai Qi-class" battleship. And, the new-class battleship
The design plan of the main battleship has not been completed yet, and it is said that His Majesty is not very satisfied. Therefore, if the new-class main battleship is to be equipped, it may have to wait until 1903 or even 1904." Zhang Cheng said.
"I'm afraid your Majesty's requirements are too high!" Deng Shichang said.
"It is true, but I have to admit that the height of your Majesty's view of the problem is far farther than ours. Your Majesty requires that the new-level battleships have a displacement of more than 28,000 tons and the artillery they carry are three-unit aircraft.
305mm cannons, so there is one more artillery number than the Qin-class battleship. At the same time, the layout of the first two and the second one is more reasonable. However, the Navy Arsenal has not yet solved the triple installation.
The accuracy of the main gun. The precision of the trial-built artillery is too poor. However, it is expected that the results will be achieved in just one or two years! In terms of the speed of the warship, His Majesty requires that the speed should be increased to at least 28 knots.
4 knots higher than the current Qin-class battleship, and even higher than the Baiqi-class battleship being built. The warship designers are trying to solve these problems." Zhang Cheng shook his head and said.
, is the crystallization of a country's industry, and a powerful battleship, which is also a reflection of industrial strength. The performance requirements of the new-class battleship proposed by Wang Yuze are already a little ahead of the curve, and China's industrial strength is still somewhat inaccessible. For example,
In terms of naval guns, the triple-mounted naval gun and larger caliber naval guns that Wang Yuze asked for design have not been successful yet. In terms of power, the newer steam turbine is still in the design, and it will take a long time to put it into use.
a while.
Of course, in Zhang Cheng and others' opinion, Wang Yuze's requirements are really too difficult. The reason why the battleship is a battleship is that it has strong firepower and defense. How could it be that the speed is higher than that of a battleship cruiser?
Although the battlecruiser has the advantages of high speed and firepower, it is still difficult to fight against the battleships. This is proven in the Sino-Japanese Pacific Naval Battle and the Sino-British Pacific Naval Battle. Wang Yuze,
The purpose of building battle cruisers on a large scale is to hope that all Western countries will follow the trend. By then, all countries will build a large number of battle cruisers, and when facing China's high-speed battleships, there will be only a dead end.
"Okay, let alone the new battleship, Your Majesty has arranged it. The Army will launch an attack on Vladivostok in two to three days. Our Navy is responsible for solving the Russian Pacific Fleet and destroying the fortress on the seaside of Vladivostok.
If possible, Marines will also be sent to land directly in the harbor. For the fleet, be prepared!" said Navy Secretary Zhang Cheng.
"The squadron led by Chief of Staff Li Haitao had already entered the Busan Port, North Korea yesterday for supply and could set off tomorrow morning. With the strength of the squadron's two battleships and three heavy cruisers, it is enough to defeat the Russian Pacific Fleet.
” Deng Shichang said.
"Has the squadron completed its mission in Japan?" Zhang Cheng asked. In the past few days, the squadron had been raging along the Japanese coast. Many Japanese coastal cities have become ruins, and a large number of industrial facilities have been destroyed.
All the merchant ships encountered were captured or sunk, and the fishing boats were also sunk, causing heavy losses to Japan.
"The southern part of Honshu, Shikoku and Kyushu have been cleared almost all, and the northern part of Honshu and western parts are left. It is not too late to clean up the Russian Pacific Fleet after it is eliminated. With the service of a large number of destroyers, we are now in the waters around Japan.
, Twenty destroyers have been deployed specifically to block Japan. However, there are still many loopholes," said Deng Shichang.
"The Admiralty has already planned that we will add 30 orders to destroyers. At the same time, we will modify some armed merchant ships to join the blockade of Japan!" Zhang Cheng said.
