86_86661Chen Zhong's speech gave a new concept to the top level of Hainan, in this great power game, whether our Chinese nation can use our wisdom to find opportunities and survive in the midst of various intricate contradictions and conflicts under the iron hooves of the great powers, provides a bold and inspiring idea.

Zhang Tong questioned Hainan's entry into the war, because according to the Anglo-Japanese Covenant of 1902, if a third party entered the war, then a neutral side would join the war. So will the intervention of the Hainan army cause the British army to enter the war?

Although Britain allied with Japan in 1902 in an attempt to curb Russian expansion in northeastern China, Chen said. However, Britain was reluctant to get involved in the Russo-Japanese War, lest it trigger a global ripple effect: if Britain helped Japan, France would most likely support Russia at the behest of the Alliance.

And if there is a conflict between Britain and Russia, its scope cannot be limited to the Far East, but will inevitably spread to the whole world.

Britain and Germany were engaged in a fierce arms race in Europe, and Germany's fierce eye made the British dare not slack off in Europe.

In addition, the Hainan Army's participation in the war is justified in the name of fighting for territorial integrity, and our actions are beyond reproach and will certainly receive broad support at home and abroad. The British would also refuse to send troops for this reason.

What is even more subtle is that once the Hainan army wins a victory in the northeast and finally completely defeats the Japanese army, it will be difficult for Japan to become strong within 20 years according to the current situation in Japan.

The situation of the Russians is not much better, they are in trouble at home, and there is also a large-scale uprising in the rule of Europe, and they will no longer have much energy to contend with us, because their main strategy is in Europe.

Therefore, there is no need to worry about the involvement of other forces in Hainan's participation in the war. In this world, it is always the law of interests.

The reason why they are gradually gravitating towards the Japanese is that they have a value for use. On the other hand, if Japan is defeated, no one will send money to the Japanese to turn the tables around.

If Hainan enters the war, all the international forces can predict the future of our joint war with Russia against Japan, and after we have solved Japan, it will be difficult for Russia, which has lost its vitality, to make achievements in the Far East.

At that time, the king believed that it seemed that the balance of the whole world would be tilted in favor of us in Hainan, and they would not hesitate to abandon their former allies and cooperate with us. Even so, we should be very sober, they are here for profit.

At present, the Russian Baltic Fleet has rested in Cam Ranh Bay in Vietnam, preparing to rendezvous with their Third Pacific Fleet before heading to the port of Arthur.

The Russian fleet from the Baltic base to Arthur almost half the distance of the world, because the tonnage of Russia's main warships are between 10,000 ~ 15,000 tons, it is impossible to take the Suez Canal to shorten the voyage, only to extend the African coast to the south, around the Cape of Good Hope, into the Indian Ocean.

Along the way, due to the influence of neutrality regulations, and the fact that Russia had no overseas bases to provide supplies, everything had to rely on the fleet's own supply ships to support everything. It was a long time, and the countries of the world did not believe that the Russian Navy could reach Arthur safely from the beginning.

However, the mighty Russian fleet broke through many difficulties and managed to reach Cam Ranh Bay.

Previously, Rozdvinsky, having filled up supplies north of Noshi, led the 2nd Pacific Fleet to the Far East. The climate in the Indian Ocean is hot, and Germany and France have no colonies in the Indian Ocean to resupply, so they can only rely on the supply ships in the fleet to maintain the operation of the entire fleet.

Russia's 2nd Pacific Fleet in the Indian Ocean set a record for the world's first ship-to-ship refueling during a voyage, and the replenishment was made of solid coal instead of liquid diesel.

Russia's Second Pacific Fleet arrived in Cam Ranh Bay in French Vietnam in the middle of last month, where it received orders to await the Third Pacific Fleet. Rear Admiral Nobergatov's Third Pacific Fleet was an old-fashioned fleet of ships that, instead of increasing its overall combat strength, became a burden to the entire reinforcement fleet.

Rozdvinsky repeatedly appealed to the Tsar for not waiting for the Third Pacific Fleet and sailed to Vladivostok, but Russia did not agree and insisted on the previous order.

The Russian fleet had many twists and turns, and finally yesterday, the Russian Third Pacific Fleet joined Rozdvinsky's Second Pacific Fleet. They decided that they would leave Cam Ranh Bay the day after tomorrow and sail towards Vladivostok.

The king believed that Russia, with its powerful fleet, crossed a long front with great courage to go to Lushun for a decisive battle with the Japanese army. Japan's combined fleet was at ease, and Russia's chances of victory were slim to none, although the arrogant Russian fleet did not see the emerging maritime power in its sights.

A few days ago, this king had already made an appointment with the Russian minister Ivan Ivanovich Ivanov, and explained to him that our Hainan fleet would join the war with the Russian fleet.

Tsar Nicholas II had already telegraphed Lieutenant General Rozdvinsky. This time, we will participate in the Russo-Japanese war, and we will successively invest 200,000 ground troops in the army, and the Hainan fleet, which has been replenishing several giant warships.

At the same time, we will deploy a number of large civilian transport vessels to coordinate the transportation of our army units. This king and Kaiser Wilhelm have agreed that the Jiaozhou Peninsula in Shandong can be used as our supply base.

From a strategic point of view, it is extremely advantageous for Hainan to send troops to the Northeast and participate in the Russo-Japanese War, both from the domestic war situation and from the international situation.

The Russo-Japanese War has been going on to the present, and Japan's first strategic goal against Russia, to gain sea supremacy, has been accomplished.

Then the next goal is to capture Port Arthur and completely annihilate the Russian fleet.

The goal of the Japanese Army was to march to Liaoyang first after taking full control of Korea.

And Tsarist Russia, although it also resolutely faced the war, but only superstitious about their force and looked down on the diminutive Orientals. But since the navy was blocked, they basically went on the defensive.

It can be seen that in the Battle of Liaoyang, Russia had a certain superiority in troops.

However, the Russian army's determination to fight this battle was not strong, and its commander even claimed that they retreated on their own initiative, so the Japanese casualties were higher than the Russian army.

As a result of this battle, the Japanese army repelled the Russian army and occupied Liaoyang, and the entire Russian army retreated to Shahe.

The Battle of Lushun was a key battle of the Russo-Japanese War, and for a whole year, under the leadership of Nogi Noshinori, the Japanese army fully carried forward the spirit of fearless bushido, adopted the tactics of meat bullets, and completely frightened the Russians by the Japanese soldiers who regarded death as nothing. From then on, bravery no longer belonged to the Cossacks.

The capture of Lushun showed that the sea supremacy had completely belonged to the Japanese fleet. Japan has already seized the initiative in the war.

However, the main forces of the Russian army remain, and they continue to be replenished from the European part of Russia.

In the spring of this year, the last army battle of Mukden, which was also the largest battle of the Japanese and Russian armies, seemed to be able to determine the final victory. Then the Russian army still has an advantage in strength when the previous losses were not large.

The strength of the Russian army is 309,600, the Japanese army is 249,800, artillery, cavalry, and the Russian army is also superior. However, the Russian army, as before, did not seem to have the confidence of a decisive battle, and after several unsuccessful attacks, it retreated to the north in a hurry. Then after the Japanese army occupied Mukden, because of the strength of the troops, the logistics had reached the limit, and they were unable to fight again. did not give the Russian army a fatal blow.

In this battle: 70,028 Japanese casualties, 60,093 Russian casualties, 29,330 missing, total losses 89,423.

Although the Japanese army has achieved a great victory, after more than a year of fierce fighting, they are also close to the limit.

Therefore, this king's use of troops this time is by no means a momentary righteousness, but, considering all aspects of the conditions, to make this seemingly crazy idea.
