Although it was the old Sevastopol that ran into Jiaozhou Bay instead of the cutting-edge crown prince like in history, in any case, Sevastopol was still a former dreadnought, and it was still much more complete and powerful than Saxony, so Jochen had nothing to be dissatisfied with.

The German side also learned the ins and outs from the detailed report sent later, it turned out that the Sevastopol was targeted by the Japanese after breaking away from the formation, and the Sevastopol, which was afraid of being besieged by the Japanese torpedo boats, rushed into Jiaozhou Bay in a panic to seek refuge from the German Navy.

For such a big gift to the door, the Germans are naturally disrespectful. Of course, for these Russians, in addition to the seizure of the battleship and the restriction of the personal freedom of the sailors, the Germans did not treat them badly and did not treat them as prisoners. The wounded Russian sailors were sent to the German hospital in Qingdao for treatment, and the Germans were not stingy with living supplies.

However, since Qingdao was not built as a military base of the German Navy in the Far East, although a destroyer detachment of the German Navy was stationed here, it did not have complete maintenance facilities, and the small camp could not detain hundreds of Russian sailors, and the already tattered Sevastopol did not even have the conditions to be a floating dormitory.

So Tirpitz ordered the Sevastopol to be simply plugged and then moved to the Subic Bay base. Jochen agreed, saying that although it was a bit of a hassle, the Germans could have exclusive access to her research results, and in Qingdao, naval officers from other countries would come to her door to ask for onlookers, just like the Crown Prince in history.

Therefore, the Russian sailors on the Sevastopol, who did not have to lie on their beds and hummed, began intensive tinkering work under the supervision of the Germans.

Along with the details of the battle and the preliminary investigation report of the Sevastopol, there was another piece of news.

"The Russian armored cruiser fleet and the Japanese Combined Fleet 2nd Fleet fought in the waters off Ulsan? What about the losses on both sides? Yochen asked.

This news was not out of Jochen's expectations, since Makarov was preparing to break through, then the powerful armored cruiser fleet would naturally come out to respond, although Togo Heihachiro misjudged Makarov's intentions at the beginning, but both sides had finished fighting and had not reacted, so it was not Togo Heihachiro.

Therefore, it is not surprising to realize that the Puyan fleet will come to meet and let the Second Fleet wait for the rabbit, and the same naval battle will occur in a historical location, the problem is that the strength of the warring parties is very different from history, and what kind of battle will be the point.

"I'm really sorry, Your Highness, the news from the Japanese side that the six armored cruisers of the Second Fleet's return to Yokosuka were all wounded, but we don't know the specific situation, and the Japanese have blocked the news from us very tightly." Marshal replied.

"These treacherous yellow-skinned monkeys, we haven't completely torn our faces, and we have begun to guard us strictly? However, since none of the Japanese cruisers sank, it is estimated that the Russians will not take advantage of it. With the disposition of my face-loving cousin, we don't get any more news from the Russians. Jochen said with some unhappiness.

"Let the personnel stationed in Japan and Russia do what they can, there is no need to take risks to collect more information, the outcome of this naval battle has nothing to do with the overall situation, the Pacific Fleet of the Russians is finished." Joechen commanded Mashal.

"Yes, Your Highness." Machar nodded, and then asked, "Your Highness, is it proper for us to move the Russian battleships to Subic Harbor?" And help the Russians with repairs, will this undermine our position? ”

"Don't worry, Adolf, go and make your attitude clear to the Russians and Japanese, Germany will keep its neutrality and move the Sevastopol to Subic Bay because Qingdao is not in a position to seize Russian warships. The restoration of the Sevastopol was only a preparation for the post-war disposal of the ship, which Germany would not hand over to any of the belligerents during the war. Jochen explained, then added, "By the way, don't forget to ask the Russians for repairs." ”

"Yes, Your Highness." Mashal also smiled when he heard Jochen's order: "Please rest assured, Your Highness, we will strive for a good price." ”

“duang！” The delicate black silver tea set smashed on the heavy carpet and made a dull sound, and the tea spilled soaked a large area of the precious carpet, and the people standing in front of the desk were frightened by this sound, their necks shrank slightly, their whole body shook violently, and they stood there trembling and more restrained.

"4 battleships! 4 battleships! Those yellow-skinned monkeys cost me 4 battleships! Can any of you sue me why this is happening! The great Imperial Russian Navy was sunk by 4 battleships by those yellow-skinned monkeys who had not yet fully evolved! And what about the glory of the Navy?! Speak! Are you dumb?! Nicholas II roared as he stood behind his desk.

The joy of the victory of the Essen fleet had been diluted by the unsatisfactory progress of the battle on land, and if it were not for the loss of Jinzhou and Dalini (Dalian), and the fact that the outskirts of Port Arthur were no longer safe, he would not have ordered Makarov to go to Vladivostok.

Nicholas II, who was already dissatisfied with the incompetence of the army, and because of the fact that the ** party members in the country, who seemed to him to be like bed bugs, and who were disgusting even if they were pinched to death, caused a lot of trouble for themselves, after knowing that his fleet had suffered a complete defeat in the Far East, broke out.

In the face of the Tsar's anger, a row of high-ranking Russian admirals bowed their heads like children who had made a mistake and did not say a word, only Vice Admiral Rozhestvinsky, a favorite of His Majesty the Tsar, carefully explained in an inaudible voice: "Your Majesty, according to the report, we have only sunk 3 battleships, and ......"

Before he could finish speaking, he was rudely interrupted by Nicholas II: "And then a battleship was seized by those damned Germans!" Angry Nicholas II did not hesitate to speak, and the Germans tragically lay down their guns: "The battleship of the Russian Imperial Navy was seized by someone else!" This is an unprecedented shame!

He actually escaped on the battlefield and escaped into the port of the Germans! Why don't they fight those yellow-skinned monkeys?! Like the brave Varyag ?! The face of the Russian Imperial Navy was thrown away by these cowards! ”

Nicholas II, who was furious, could not listen to any explanation, in his opinion, even if the Sevastopol was sunk in a battle to the death with the Japanese, he would not have lost so much face, and the surviving sailors on the Varyag returned to St. Petersburg, didn't he personally greet them outside the gates of the Winter Palace and invite them to dinner, and did not give each of them a pocket watch?

But now, the fact that the Sevastopol ran into German territory and was detained by the Germans was enough to make him furious, and the thought of the possible ridicule of Jochen's cousin in Berlin when he knew about it made Nicholas II feel a nameless fire in the bottom of his heart.

As for the Battle of Ulsan, Nicholas II was quite tolerant of Essen, who had won a big victory before, after all, neither Japan nor Russia was sunk in the Battle of Ulsan.

The Japanese 240mm guns did limited damage to the heavily armored Russian armored cruisers, only the copycat Bayan was beaten quite badly, and the Russians' 203mm guns did limited damage to the Japanese armored cruisers, only the Asama, which was hit by the 254mm guns several times, was deeply damaged, and after returning to Yokosuka, it was docked for overhaul and was expected to lie in the nest for more than 10 months. Considering the Russian Navy's suzhì, it is acceptable to fight like this with a numerical disadvantage of 4:6.

Of course, Nicholas II did not know this, but in his opinion, the armored cruiser pair was originally going to meet the main fleet to break through, and the people did not receive it, so Essen, who returned to port with all the ships, would have completed the task. As for the damage of these four armored cruisers that were worse than last time, due to the repair conditions in Vladivostok, it is still a question mark whether they can recover their combat effectiveness before the Japanese Asama, and naturally Nicholas II does not care.

After his words were interrupted by Nicholas II, Rogerst Winsky also honestly lowered his head and made a mistake, and the room was dead silent, except for the heavy gasps of His Majesty the Tsar echoed in the room.

Things were smashed, fire was fired, and looking at the rows of mute admirals in front of him, Nicholas II, who had already labeled them as waste, knew that there was nothing useful in their mouths, so he decided to find the field according to his own will.

"Zinovi, when will the Duke of Suvorov and the Eagle be completed?" Without waiting for Rogerst Winsky to answer, he waved his hand and ordered: "Two months, I will give you two more months, and the Second Pacific Fleet will set sail immediately in two months!" Go to the Far East and crush those yellow-skinned monkeys! ”

"But your Majesty, two months later, the Duke and the Eagle have not yet completed sea trials, equipment commissioning, and ......personnel training," Roderstinsky was frightened and hurriedly explained.

However, Nicholas II, who had long been unable to listen to anyone's advice and was bent on revenge, once again cut off Rozhest Stevensky's words: "You have to sail for such a long time, and you have time to debug and train on the way!" I want you to take the fleet to the Far East, to send all those yellow-skinned monkey navy to the bottom of the sea, and then trample them under your feet, and you will have to turn over forever! ”

“…… Be...... 陛xià. Knowing that the king's order could not be violated, Roger Stevensky responded with a face.

"Also, go and tell the Germans that I accept their request, that my fleet will borrow the Kiel Canal and rush to the Far East as far as possible, and I am not willing to wait even a day longer!" Nicholas II made up his mind. R1152
