"Your Excellency, what do you mean by looking at me like this? Do you think I'm doing something wrong? Do you think my ideas are extremely naΓ―ve? Akiyama asked in fear. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info|

Heihachiro Togo laughed, this is something that Akiyama Shinyuki rarely sees, in Togo's laughter, Akiyama Shinyuki's psychology is even more hairy, could it be that Togo General is crazy due to too much pressure?

Thinking of this, Akiyama Shinyuki slowly began to retreat towards the door of the room, and he wanted to flee immediately, because he saw that Togo Heihachiro's eyes were full of terrible wild laughter.

Akiyama Shinyuki slowly retreated to the door, and at this time, Heihachiro Togo stopped smiling and yelled: "Akiyama Shinyuki! You are really a complete naval tactical genius, and having you by my side is a blessing for my Dongxiang! I'm going to treat you to a drink! ”

After Togo Heihachiro finished speaking, he brought out a fresh cake, poured two glasses of red wine, and said, "Akiyama-kun, thank you for your professionalism, you will be rewarded by the emperor!" ”

Makoto Akiyama walked back in fear, looked at Heihachiro Togo timidly, and drank the wine glass, at this time, he needed this glass of wine so much.

Heihachiro Togo suppressed his smile and said seriously: "Akiyama-kun, do you know how much the decisive battle between the Sea of Japan and the Russian army means to our country, do you know?"

Whether we can win this naval battle or not will determine the rise and fall of our country for nearly a hundred years.

The impact of this war will not be limited to the military aspect, it will directly affect the fate of both Russia and our great Japanese empire.

If the decisive battle in the Sea of Japan can defeat the Russian fleet, then we can almost say that the Russian naval power will be completely destroyed, and thus the rule of the Russian tsar will be shaken.

Through this war, we, the Empire of Japan, will also gain the land of the Qing Kingdom, and our combined fleet will surely enter the ranks of the world's naval powers and become the leading country in the Far East. This decisive battle in the Sea of Japan will surely go down in the history of the world's naval battles in the most glorious way!

God really favors those of us who are sincere and hardworking, and He has created the perfect conditions for our combined fleet of the Great Japanese Empire!

Akiyama-kun, your wisdom and hard work will surely bring about the glory of our fleet together with this great decisive battle in the Sea of Japan.

Although the entire fleet of the Russian Navy had three times as many ships as our Great Japanese Navy, they were dispersed into the Baltic Fleet, the Black Sea Fleet and the Pacific Fleet. This significantly reduces their combat effectiveness.

And although our combined fleet is not superior to the Russian army in numbers, we have concentrated the best ships, and our morale is booming.

At present, the Russian Pacific Fleet has been severely damaged and besieged in Port Arthur, while their Black Sea Fleet is unable to be deployed due to the fact that it has to confront Turkey and cannot pass through the Dardanelles due to treaty restrictions.

Russia had to send Vice Admiral Rozedestefansky to lead the Second and Third Pacific Fleets, cobbled together from the Baltic Fleet, halfway around the world, passing through the North Sea, the Atlantic, the Indian Ocean and the South China Sea, a journey of 18,000 nautical miles, exhausted to fight in the Sea of Japan.

They ran long distances and were short of supplies, and the commander of the fleet, Vice Admiral Rozed Stefansky, knew almost nothing about the tactics of the steel-armored era, and the second and third fleets of the Russian army in the Pacific were improvised, and the naval sailors were extremely low-quality and could not cope with such a large-scale decisive battle at sea.

These factors provided the most sufficient and favorable conditions for our Japanese Combined Fleet to create a miracle of victory in this naval battle! If our combined fleet had a naval genius like Akiyama-kun to draw up the most perfect battle plan for us, I think our chances of victory would be greatly increased.

On behalf of our combined fleet, I would like to express my sincere thanks to you, the elite of the Empire! ”

After Togo Heihachiro finished speaking, he bowed deeply in front of Akiyama Shinyuki. Akiyama Mayuki looked at the short and resolute commander of the Combined Fleet excitedly, and also bowed solemnly to him and said, "Your Excellency Commander, we, the Great Japanese Empire, will definitely be proud to have a general like you!" ”

"Report! General, the Quartermaster Department has sent another list of ammunition supplies, and they are asking why the war has not started yet, and half of the ammunition prepared before the war has been used, and they need His Excellency the Commander to write an explanation before they can continue to supply it. "The guard officer came in to report.

Togo Heihachiro pondered for a moment and said to the guard, "You tell them that His Majesty the Emperor will personally give them an answer in five minutes." The guard hesitated and withdrew.

It turned out that when Heihachiro Togo received information from the naval base camp that the Russian fleet was sailing to the Far East, the Japanese Combined Fleet had already started strict training under his stern supervision.

He demanded that the Japanese fleet must conduct many live-fire trainings, and during this period, almost half of the country's artillery ammunition reserves were destroyed. The domestic quartermaster department repeatedly raised questions with the emperor, but both the Meiji emperor and Commander Yamamoto, the naval headquarters, affirmed and supported Admiral Togo's approach.

Because Heihachiro Togo once firmly put forward the famous saying that "a cannon with a hundred rounds is better than a cannon with a hundred shots and a cannon". He believed that in a fierce naval battle, an effective and accurate shot of a shell could hit an enemy ship and almost change the entire campaign.

Heihachiro Togo gambled on his own political future for the decisive battle in the Sea of Japan, and all the belongings of the entire Japanese navy, and in the course of each training, he would have his Japanese flagship Mikasa fly the Z signal flag to show the whole fleet that "the rise and fall of the imperial kingdom will be fought here, and all the kings will work hard to kill the enemy."

This is the banner of General Nelson, whom he admired the most, before the decisive battle of Trafalgar when Heihachiro Togo was studying in England: "England expects every boy to do his duty!" He adapted it into an oath he made every time he went on an expedition.

The Japanese Combined Fleet, led by Heihachiro Togo, was fully prepared to meet the approaching Russian Second Pacific Fleet in the Tsushima Strait in the Sea of Japan. He and his combined fleet are going to make a great gamble on the fantasies of crazy Japanese militarism!

Heihachiro Togo, a gambler of the war, will stage a classic naval battle in the Sea of Japan in which ants devour elephants with a seven-stage combat plan designed by Shinyuki Akiyama, a genius in naval tactics.
