Volume VIII 1221 Traps

Next chapter

"Of course the Russians are greedy, and they must want gold, but the cunning big fish will always be careful to test before biting the hook, so it is very likely that the Russian fleet will divide one-third or even half of its forces into the bay, while the other half will guard the exit of a strait......"

"I expect that the western side of the strait, commonly known as the Sachuan Strait, will be garrisoned by the Russians, because the sea area here is wider and more conducive to warships to fight in formation, while the exit of the Oshima Strait on the east side is narrow and difficult to navigate......"

"As we all know, our goal is to encircle and annihilate the entire Russian expeditionary fleet, and it is not our goal to eat half of it, so we must lure the other half of the enemy into the strait, and this is our goal!"

Xiao Letian paced back and forth on the podium, pondered for a moment, and said, "How can we let those half of the enemy also enter the strait? Of course, to make them lose their vigilance and make them believe that this is not a trap, but a real golden treasure island!"

"Let's put ourselves in the shoes of the enemy, what is the enemy most worried about, what should they be most afraid of when they enter the strait? I think there are only two ......."

"The first concern should be the southern part of Amami Oshima, that is, on the other side of the strait, Ryoma Island, this narrow island is small but the geographical location is very important, if we ambush the army on it and set up a large number of cannons, I think the Russians will have a headache......

"The Sachuan Strait and the Oshima Strait are very narrow, the widest area is only about four or five kilometers, and the narrowest part is only 2.5 kilometers wide, such a distance does not need shore artillery at all, as long as ordinary field artillery can cover the whole ......"

"So if you want the Russians to fall into the trap, you must give up the plan to garrison troops on Luma Island......"

"The second worry of the Russians should be our Zhiyuan, because Britain and France have temporarily shared intelligence with Russia, so the powerful combat effectiveness of the Zhiyuan The Russians are already very clear, and the Russians are destined to be unprofitable in a decisive battle on the high seas, and those Russian warships that refuse to fall into the trap are actually mainly defending the powerful Zhiyuan!"

"The three 210 rifled main guns are not vegetarian, ultra-high-precision shooting within eight kilometers, coupled with strong firepower and protection, a Zhiyuan can definitely firmly block the exit of a strait...... At that time, the artillery on both sides of the strait will be able to annihilate these warships as easily as catching turtles in an urn!"

"The Russians are not stupid, they will definitely guard against a sneak attack on the Zhiyuan......"

Speaking of this, Ryukyu Admiral Cai Mao suddenly asked in a loud voice: "Prime Minister, I have a doubt! In your previous analysis of the Russian national character, you have said more than once that these fighting nations are arrogant and extremely contemptuous of Asians...... Then they already have an absolute advantage in the number of battleships, why are they so careful?"

"Isn't today's analysis and your previous judgment contradictory?"

Xiao Letian nodded, "You asked a very good question, I will answer this question with two points." First, the Russian nation is indeed arrogant and violent, and it is true that they look down on Chinese, but the huge Tsarist Empire also has many intellectual talents......"

"Just now we have analyzed the current imperial finances of Russia and the temperament of the tsar, and to sum up, this fleet mobilized from the Baltic Sea is definitely the tsar's heart, so it is not easy to save such a fleet with such difficult finances?"

"So this expeditionary force, whether it is equipped from officers to soldiers, belongs to the elite of the elite of Tsarist Russia, we must not take it lightly, we would rather face them like foxes than treat them as stupid bears!"

Cai Mao had no problem, nodded back to the crowd, and Xiao Letian continued to state the key details of this battle.

"Actually, there is another very important reason why I made the above judgment, that is, because on the Russian fleet, there is an old acquaintance of ours, guess who it is?"

"Huh...... He is the French knight Molière!"

With a bang, everyone present exploded, especially the generals who had personally experienced the defense of the Ryukyus, and shouted angrily one by one, "Damn bastard, it's him again! This bastard actually dares to come back...... Catch him, hang him!"

When the French fleet attacked Naha, the murder caused, especially after the deception into the city, was simply innumerable! At that time, Molière picked up a small life, but I didn't expect him to dare to come now.

Xiao Lotian stretched out his hand and suppressed the frenzied atmosphere of the people, "We always have to settle new and old accounts, but that one will have to wait until the end of the war, and now we will continue to analyze the battle situation!"

"The French fleet led by Molière once fought with the Zhiyuan in the Atlantic, and the result is very clear to us that the Zhiyuan not only defeated the French warships on the sea, but also attacked Dakar at night, and obtained a miracle that shocked the world!"

"Molière understands the combat effectiveness of the Zhiyuan too well, he knows that the Russian battleship is not the opponent of the Zhiyuan in terms of firepower, protection and cruising ability, so he will definitely ask the Russians to divide the troops, this guy is the most cunning fox......"

"In view of this, I decided to let the Zhiyuan take the initiative to challenge the Russian fleet on the high seas, hurt them, insult them, and provoke them...... In the end, the Russian fleet was forced to separate a small number of warships to entangle with the Zhiyuan, as long as the Russians felt that the Zhiyuan had been entangled, they would lower their vigilance against the strait......"

"Aren't they cautious? Very good, we will satisfy their cautious mentality, we will not send ambushes to Luma Island, and the Zhiyuan will also be transferred to the open sea, now I think they will be afraid of anything?"

The generals began to talk about each other, and people in the crowd kept nodding, and at this time, Jin Sanshun, the chief of internal affairs of the Zhiyuan, suddenly asked, "I admit that the prime minister's strategy can indeed reduce the vigilance of the enemy, but what if the enemy has no vigilance, but he still has to divide the troops?"

"I, I, I...... I think so, after all, the enemy has 30,000 main forces, and half of the troops are more than 10,000 people, which should be enough for them to rob, will they stupidly put all their forces into Amami Oshima?"

This is really a good question, and there are nods and whispers around them, "That's it! There are so many enemy troops, how can they all be pressed by 30,000 elites?"

Xiao Letian nodded and smiled, "That's right, the question is very sharp...... If I were the commander of the Russians, I wouldn't have used all my bets, so we'd have to force them to increase their stakes......"
