Watermelons are carefully stored at room temperature and can be stored for 15-30 days, but John and Naohide only brought watermelon and a fresh fruit, but the rest of the supplies were also very rich, including a large number of potatoes, dried vegetables, bacon, salted eggs, miso and various pickles, as well as a small amount of live poultry, tea and taro roast.

Although canned food was available in the early 19th century, the food of the ocean-going fleet was still based on hard biscuits, bacon, raisins, dried peas, and wine or rum baked from unleavened flour because of the high cost, so the morale of the Anglo-Buddhist combined fleet was greatly boosted after receiving supplies.

However, not all supplies were well received, and the so-called Devil's Egg, Songhua Egg, sparked an interesting controversy, with sailors forming two very different evaluations - those who liked it boasted it to the sky, but more English and Francis sailors thought it was a worse food than salted meat.

As for the live chickens and ducks sent to the ship, in addition to being eaten by the captain and other high-ranking bureaucrats, a few of the fish that slipped through the net were secretly raised as pets by the sailors, and became the spice of their boring life at sea.

On August 29, due to the delay caused by the appearance of the supply ships, the combined fleet sailed into Avacha Bay and only opened a few dozen shots before ending the day's fighting.

After this temptation, the two admirals found that Naohide's intelligence was excellent, the location of the batteries was mostly accurate, and that the port of Petropavlovsk really did not moor any large ships - neither warships nor merchant ships, and the damned Aurora did not know where to go.

Because of the identity of the yellow race, Naohide's proposed combat strategy, "attack various ports first, and then consider landing operations", was opposed by many people, but the English Admiral Plath resolutely sided with Naohide, as for the reason, it was very simple, he regarded the appearance of supply ships and Naohide and others as a good omen for this battle.

In addition, the upright little John also played a big role in this.

As a special envoy for reinforcements of the Xiangjiang Detachment, he was highly regarded by Plath - although he knew John by name. Brian was a Celtic, but in the Far East, all internal barriers seemed to have disappeared with the sea breeze.

Ask yourself, John Jr. dared to take a merchant ship north alone to support him, this is definitely an outstanding embodiment of the spirit of the English gentleman, although Plath is restrained on the surface, but he is very touched in his heart, John Jr. gave him an ivory-handled Colt revolver, which he has been carrying with him as a symbol of friendship ever since.

Plath, who did not discriminate against Naoxiu, could naturally see the benefits of this program:

First of all, after knocking out the opponent's fleet and merchant ships, the remaining port naturally becomes a snack ready to eat;

Secondly, he received orders to protect the Pacific trade routes in North China, Australia, and the Far East, and the original plan to "storm the port of Petropavlovsk" was just a helpless move due to insufficient intelligence, and now it seems to have been too hasty.

At the same time, the majority of sailors are also on the side of Plath, after all, the landing attack requires leaving familiar ships, which sounds worrying.

As a result, the Anglo-Buddhist joint fleet finally approved the battle plan of "destroying the ships first and destroying the ports" - although there are differences from the statement of Naohide's proposal, the essence is generally the same.

In the last two days of August 1854, the shells of the combined fleet easily destroyed the port batteries and docks of Petropavlovsk, and burned a large number of buildings with the proud Congreve rockets, after which they sailed south.

"Demons!"

The Combined Fleet regards Naohide as a mascot, but someone sees the Combined Fleet as a demon - this person is the immortal Muravyov.

The Siberian governor of Lusia is now very pitiful:

His carefully planned plan for the supply of the Wulong River was a great success in Naoxiu's original world, and through four voyages along the river, he replenished Lucia's territory in the North Pacific with valuable troops, and finally won a brilliant victory in the "Siege of Petropavlovsk" in 1854.

But because of Naoxiu's indiscriminate entry, the first supply was on June 23

The four steam ships of the White Lord were crushed, and the propeller sail hybrid warship Vostok and Hope, as well as the steam freighter Erguna, were all sunk in this battle.

Although the rest of the personnel losses were not much except for the sailors on the three ships, most of the artillery and supplies could not be saved, and what is even more terrible is that without steam ships, the plan for a large supply along the river would be completely bankrupt - the main route of the upper, middle and lower reaches of the Wulong River combined is nearly 2,600 versts (2,800 kilometers), without the guidance of steam ships, relying on sails and manpower, the speed of ships in inland rivers is extremely slow, and large-scale replenishment cannot be achieved in the short term.

What made him even more unbearable was that the two defeats in the lower reaches of the Wulong River in June 1852 and June 1854 led to the loss of his prestige, and he was only challenged from time to time by the unruly Cossack cavalry, but now even Lusya himself has begun to question his ability!

Let's talk about the Far Eastern envoy Pu Jiatin, everyone is the emperor's confidant, and they should be united and mutually helpful, but Pu Jiating, with four warships, far surpassed the divided Okhotsk District Fleet in strength, and actually took away the command of the naval army in one fell swoop, how dare he!

And this is not because of his successive defeats in the Far East.

Although he was the one who led the fleet of the Okhotsk district to meet him, although he led more than 1,000 people to lack food and clothing in the temple and the epidemic was rampant, but he was the dignified governor of Siberia in the empire, how could you ignore the overall situation!

And the bad things are not only these, with the emergence of the Alaskan gold rush, the old salted fish of the Rumi company actually turned over and took away a lot of rights from his own hands, not only the fleet of the Okhotsk district was divided into two, but also a large number of businessmen also went to Alaska, which seriously weakened the strength of the Eastern Siberian Governorate.

However, the house leaked and rained overnight, and this year's expansion of the empire in the continent of Europe was severely challenged, and England, France and other powers fell one after another, and the war really burned to the Far East as he expected.

But why did the combined fleet appear in Kamchatka?

Shouldn't you be the first to attack Alaska, which is producing gold?

This time, although he was sure to repel the enemy's attack, his subordinates and the people lacked confidence in him, and he was forced to take a lot of tough measures, which caused a lot of dissatisfaction.

The prospect is not good, if unfortunately defeated, it is estimated that his own governor of Siberia will be the end; But even if you win, you will be a mess afterwards.

However, he has prepared a clever plan, and this time he will definitely let the Anglo-Buddhist coalition army return with a feather.

But I never expected that before the implementation of the clever plan began, the enemy's fleet would actually leave!

Muravyov broke open and cursed, and the people around him were silent, and they exchanged glances, "The governor's temper is getting worse day by day, and it is really worrying. ”

Muravyov's hunch was right, after leaving Kamchatka, the combined fleet did not stop there, but began to sweep through Lusia's important ports in the northern part of the Whale Sea:

In the early morning of September 11, the fleet suddenly appeared in the port of Okhotsk, in the northern part of the Whale Sea.

Because of the rise of Petropavlovsk, Okhotsk has already begun to fall, and the entire town has less than two thousand people, and the defense is extremely weak.

Moreover, the combined fleet finally blocked the Aurora here, which was in hard pursuit, and also caught the big fish - the fleet of the Okhotsk district led by Pugartin.

Together with the four warships brought to the Far East by the Aurora and Pugatin, the fleet of the Okhotsk district consisted of only four gunboats, three armed transports, and six high-speed communications ships and other small ships, all of which were sail warships and fired solid shells.

However, the combined battle fleet consisted of 4 capital warships, 1 light gunboat, 1 armed transport ship, 1 steamboat and 4 small steam warships of the white master.

Although the numerical ratio is 13:11, the people of Ulusia are far inferior to their opponents in terms of overall tonnage and weapons, and as for the mastery of tactics and skills, the invincible Imperial Naval Army of the Sun Never Sets at this time is far surpassed, plus the bonus of the early morning raid, resulting in a one-sided battle from the beginning.

The Aurora, which attracted a lot of hatred, was the first to be set on fire, and soon turned into a flaming sea torch, all of its masts broken, and it could only wait in despair for destruction.

In the end, the Lusians escaped only three ships, the flagship Barrada brought to the Far East by Pugartin, the high-speed communication ship Diana, and the armed transport ship "Baikal" left behind by the dismissed Captain Nevelskoy - Diana and "Baikal" all escaped by speed, and the Barlada was saved by Pugatin who saw a bad opportunity and let other ships desperately cover it, although it managed to escape but was also scarred.

The naval battle was a complete victory, but the White Lord's naval army gained very little - apart from igniting a few batteries, the only result was the sinking of a small boat, which was paddled throughout the engagement, and completely unable to participate in the head-to-head duel of the Grand Fleet.

Under the great victory, the English Admiral Plass was in high spirits, and he first let the steam cruiser and the four small steam warships of the White Lord continue to pursue the enemy ships, and then at the sound of an order, under the cover of the naval guns, the marines began to land, and soon routed the few defenders, and then fully occupied Okhotsk.

After the war, Naoxiu consciously became a spectator with Little John and Egawa Youngmin-the supply ship of Xianheng was commanded by its own captain, and the three of them were left on standby on the flagship of Admiral Plath.

Yingmin couldn't hold his tongue when he saw it, but Little John and Nao-so were no better, this kind of sea battle was the first time they had seen each other, and the three of them were silent after reading it, and all kinds of thoughts were churning in their hearts.

On September 11, the combined fleet wiped out most of the fleet of the Okhotsk district of Lusia and successfully captured Okhotsk.

On 15 September, Ayan, another important port in Lucia, was also destroyed.

On 17 September, the English steam cruisers, which were pursuing the enemy, rendezvoused at Ayan as planned, and brought the good news of the total annihilation of the remnants of the enemy's naval division.

It turned out that Pu Jiating fled to Ayan with three boats first, and then rushed to Miaotun to hide.

Originally, this plan was very good, but the British Pacific fleet did not have enough information about the Far East, and these people had not read Siebold 's book "Fuso", so they did not know about the existence of the Mamiya Strait.

In Naohide's original world, Governor Muravyov of Rusia took advantage of the opponent's lack of intelligence to escape the pursuit of the combined fleet through the Mamiya Strait next year, not only preserving the fleet of the Okhotsk region, but also successfully evacuating a large number of people.

But this time it didn't work, there were white lord's ships to lead the way, between the mouth of the Wulong River and Miaotun, the English steam cruiser and the white lord's four small steam warships finally bit the enemy, after a fierce battle, Barrada, Diana and "Baikal" were all sunk, so far Lucia's naval forces in the Far East were basically completely destroyed.

The only pity is that the special envoy of Lusia Fuso, Pu Jiating, is missing.

Without catching an important person, Manjiro Nakahama led the British steam cruiser north to vent his anger, and burned Nikolaevsk, which had finally recovered, into a blank field.

However, although Pugartin was not captured, the two admirals of the combined fleet did not mind this, because the results were brilliant enough, and the total annihilation of the fleet of the Okhotsk region perfectly completed the primary task, and besides, there is not another Siberian governor in Petropavlovsk, and it is okay to capture him.

On September 20, on the way back to Kamchatka, the combined fleet swept away the largest settlement of the Lusians on the island of North Ezodi, where in 1765 Lusia began to operate at the northern tip of the Big Island, where slave convicts mined coal, where hundreds of people lived.

Seeing the Lucians flee in all directions, the sailors went ashore in small boats, swept away their belongings, and the rest of the houses were burned, but the hundred years of hard work were all in vain!

On September 29, 1854, a month later, the Combined Fleet launched another fierce attack on Petropavlovsk, Kamchatka, and by this time, Lucia was left with only one remaining important stronghold in the Northern Pacific.
