Coupled with the arrogance of the Russian army since the beginning of the Russo-Japanese War last year, and a series of defeats later, the morale of the Russian army has been greatly damaged.

What this vice admiral showed in front of the Hainan fleet was not self-confidence and pride, but that fearful heart, lest he be seen through by the Hainan army, which he thought was even less worthy of mention.

The current Russian fleet, in fact, no longer has the pride of the early stage of the Russo-Japanese War, but is replaced by an extreme fear of war.

Therefore, this war has gone to a terrible circle for the Russian army. What is terrible is not the defeat of the Russian army in one or two battles in front, but the fact that after the destruction of the previous strong self-confidence, their army completely lost the minimum courage in front of the Japanese army, and the "fear of Japan" continued to spread among the Russian army.

Before preparing for this war, a group of fanatical chauvinists, extreme imperialist adventurers, represented by the former Minister of the Imperial Empire Alexander Bezobrazov, the Minister of Internal Affairs Vyacheslav Previ, and the Governor-General of the Far East, Alekseev, underestimated the strength of Japan and considered it a small state to be vulnerable.

These war madmen once arrogantly said such remarks, Russia can overwhelm the small country of the projectile East by throwing a hat!

This kind of arrogant rhetoric has been constantly spreading in Russia, so much so that all the Russian people and even the whole world have already believed that the Russian army's destruction of Japan is just a matter of moving its index finger, and that Japan will die if it wants Japan to die, and that the Japanese will never dare to confront the powerful Russia.

After visiting Japan the year before, the Russian Minister of War, General Alexei Kuropatkin, arrogantly said: "One Russian soldier can deal with three Japanese soldiers, and we need only 14 days to gather 400,000 troops in Manchuria, which is three times the number needed to defeat the Japanese army." Therefore, it is more appropriate to say that what is going to happen in the future is not so much a war as a military walk".

However, it was this Russo-Japanese War that the Russians likened to a walk, and the Russian army suffered a complete defeat.

Although they believed that one Russian soldier could deal with three Japanese soldiers, the Russians used three times the strength of the Japanese army for this war, although they considered the coming war to be just a "military walk".

However, their battle plan was to hold out on to the defensive operation for six months with their existing forces, until they gathered enough troops to carry out a counteroffensive, land in Japan, crush their native troops, put down the people's resistance, occupy the capital, and capture the Japanese emperor alive.

All the battle plans and war preparations of the Russian army are like a child's play, in fact, in the early stages of this war, it has been decided that this is a lost war.

Arrogant fantasies, hasty preparations, and pride in the aftermath of failure, followed by a large area of depressed fear, are the common characteristics of a failed division.

Therefore, Chen Zhong analyzed that the Russian General Rozed Stevance in front of him is not confident, but a performance that he is not sure about the future, which is an extremely dangerous signal.

And the reason why this Russian lieutenant general showed disdain in front of Chen Zhong was precisely to hide his overwhelmed heart, and that strong self-esteem was in the way!

Because, in the early stage of the Russo-Japanese War, they formulated an extremely illogical plan, which led to the inability of all the participating armies to reach a unified strategic thinking, and all operational deployments were always in a state of no planning and disorganization.

The Pacific naval operational plan was drawn up by the staff of the Governor-General of the Far East, Alekseev. The plan emphasized that the main purpose of all operations was "to preserve the naval forces as long as possible, and not to take risky actions under any circumstances."

What a passively conservative, what a stupid plan that had nothing to do with the ground combat plan. The Russian army was completely in a situation of silos throughout the war.

The formulation of this strategic plan of the Russian army is extremely inconsistent with the previous disdainful remarks, which is simply an international joke.

But it was this beautiful joke that deceived both itself and the world. Until the eve of the upcoming decisive battle in the Sea of Japan, the whole world did not believe that Russia would lose the war.

However, opportunities and luck in this world will always favor hard-working and pragmatic people.

Although the conditions of the Japanese army were inferior to those of Russia in all aspects, the ideology of the Japanese army from top to bottom was absolutely unified.

Before the Japanese army drew up a battle plan, it was determined to fight to the death. They actively prepared and carefully worked out the details of every war.

Its fundamental strategic idea is to take advantage of Russia's lack of preparation to annihilate the Pacific Fleet first and seize sea supremacy with a surprise attack.

The purpose was to ensure the landing of the army in Korea and the Liaodong Peninsula, and to occupy the Port of Arthur. After that, the main forces of the ground forces were concentrated, and efforts were made to annihilate the Russian army in the Liaoyang and Mukden areas before the Russian reinforcements reached the Far East.

This is an aggressive offensive and quick plan. Although the Japanese army's plan has a certain risky nature, its strategic thinking is an overall and very feasible battle plan, and it is an operation plan with creative strategic thinking.

The fact that it proves that there are no absolutes in this world, let alone war! Strength and weapons in a war are important, but the most important factor in determining the victory or defeat of a war is the person who leads the war!

The Russian army has just ignored this point, arrogantly believing that it owns more than 20 million land, the Russian Empire with a population of more than 100 million, and fighting a small country like Japan is simply a contest between elephants and ants.

However, elephants also have weaknesses, and ants will kill an elephant!

Chen Zhong also wants to make one last effort, because if the Russian army wants to turn the tide of the defeat of the Russo-Japanese War, which lasted for a year, this decisive battle in the Sea of Japan is the last chance, otherwise, all ideas will be floating clouds.

So, Chen Zhong said: "General Rozede Stefans, this king would like to remind you that the outcome of your battle this time will determine the entire situation of your battle, and all rash decisions and rash actions will make your fleet pay a heavy price!" This king hopes that Mr. Vice Admiral will seriously consider this king's proposal, and our two fleets will better cooperate in battle. ”

Lieutenant General Rozed Stevans was obviously a little impatient and was about to get angry, but the accompanying Russian envoy Ivan Ivanovich stopped him and said: "I think what His Excellency King of Hainan said is reasonable, Mr. Lieutenant General, we don't have much chance anymore!" ”
