Chen Zhong said: As a local war at sea, it is necessary not only to rely on the country's strong economic strength and sophisticated weaponry, but also to have well-trained commanding generals and combat troops.

The Emperor of Russia and Emperor Meiji of Japan recognized the need for a strong navy early on and successively built a sizable naval fleet for their own country.

Before the upcoming Battle of the Sea of Japan, the naval fleets of Japan and Russia appeared to have their own advantages and disadvantages, and it was difficult to distinguish between them and their own superiority.

But judging by the overall strength of the country and the size of the fleet, Russia seems to have a certain advantage.

However, this apparent superiority of Russia does not give it real power of its own. Judging from the commander of the Russian ship I came into contact with, Rozhdestvensky, this person is not only stubborn and arrogant, but also a little conceited and paranoid, and extremely lacking in new combat concepts.

At the same time, after inspecting the Russian fleet, the king found a fatal weakness, that is, the discipline of the fleet is particularly lax, and in the king's opinion, if such a fleet enters the battlefield, it is a question whether it can strictly carry out the commander's orders.

This series of serious drawbacks will most likely eventually lead to the fiasco of the Russian army. At that time, he believed that Russia, despite its strong land forces, would eventually have to accept the humiliation of being defeated by the East Asian island nation of Japan.

In every war, whether it is a naval battle or a land war, an army's correct war deployment, choice of war timing, tactics, tactics, and personnel morale all play a decisive role in the outcome of a war.

From the king's point of view, if the commander of the Japanese Combined Fleet, Heihachiro Togo, is already a tired division against the long march of the Russian army. As the commander of the fleet, he will first consider adopting a strategy of waiting for work and waiting for the Russian troops who have traveled a long way to enter the urn.

At the same time, this commander will also seriously consider the timing of the operation, that is, where to ambush the Russian fleet, provided that it is best to annihilate the Russian fleet before it enters the Vladivostok Sea base, and makes careful arrangements for the deployment of the war.

In addition, judging from the Russo-Japanese War of this year, the morale of the Japanese army was booming, and its combat effectiveness increased greatly. Based on the above factors, this king thinks that this seemingly inferior Japanese army is very likely to finally win the naval battle against Russia.

Looking at the Russian Second Pacific Fleet, it is a naval fleet hastily organized by Rozhdestvensky after more than four months of preparation.

The Second Pacific Fleet departed from the Fort Reiburg base, and the commander of the first squadron of the fleet was Rozhdestvensky, and it was under the command of the new Baltino-class warships such as the Duke of Kensuvorov, Alexander III, Borodino, and Eagle, among which the Duke of Suvorov and the Eagle were officially commissioned on September 10, which shows the haste of the Russian army.

The second squadron was led by Rear Admiral Fokker Hill and included the battleships Osriyabia and Navarin, and the armored cruiser Admiral Nakhimov.

The third team was led by Rear Admiral Ankerwest and had eight cruisers, including the Orji and Aurora. In addition, there are a number of armed merchant ships and supply ships and other logistics ships.

The Second Pacific Fleet, with a total of forty-two ships, set off in this way. After the departure, rumors spread in the Russian fleet that Japanese warships would sneak attack along the way, causing panic among the people.

As they passed the British coast of Dogle in the early hours of the morning, the Russian fleet mistook the British fishing boats fishing there for Japanese torpedo boats in the dark of night, and opened fire, and then the 1st and 3rd Squadrons, sailing side by side, turned into firing at each other, and it took 15 minutes to distinguish between friend and foe.

During the shelling, one fishing boat sank, several fishing boats were wounded, and the cruiser Aurora of the Third Squadron was also injured. This incident caused serious consternation in Britain and even the intention of invoking the provisions of the alliance with Japan to wage war against Russia, which caused great panic in Russia.

The matter was later mediated by Germany and France and referred to the International Court of Justice, but it was eventually resolved. Britain had no choice but to solve the problem with its own strength, but it was afraid that Britain and Russia would start a war, so that other powers such as Germany and France would take advantage of the situation, so they only monitored the Russian fleet along the way to protect the safety of British fishing and merchant ships, and did not stop until North Africa.

The incident of the accidental attack on the Dogg coast caused cynicism in the countries of the world, who believed that the Russian fleet was simply a flock of frightened birds.

Therefore, a series of abnormal behaviors of the Russian army are extremely inconsistent with the reputation of its fleet as a powerful force in the world.

In the eyes of this king, this Russian Second Pacific Fleet is a rabble, and with this extremely abnormal fleet commander, we can basically judge the outcome of this war.

Because, a person who is arrogant and arrogant on the surface is often extremely fragile in his heart. If, the commander of a fleet, without a strong psyche, a big heart, it is difficult to believe that he can command a decent war.

Based on the analysis of so many elements of the war, we can roughly judge the trend of this war, and our Hainan fleet should make corresponding preparations. Fully considering how our Hainan fleet will respond after the fiasco of the Russian army!

Here, I would like to ask you, if you are the commander of the Japanese Combined Fleet, Admiral Heihachiro Togo, and you are facing such a Russian fleet and have come from a long journey, then you must first consider which route this army will enter the Sea of Japan from?

Chen Fangzheng said: "Lord Wang, I think that if it were me, I would definitely think that the Russian * team would pass through the Tsushima Strait and enter the Sea of Japan.

For, according to the supply situation of the Russian fleet, in order to shorten the distance, and with the idea of being invincible, they will go directly to Vladivostok through the Tsushima Strait, and I will order the whole fleet to enter the battle position and wait for the arrival of the Russian fleet. After the Russian army entered the Tsushima Strait, it penetrated into the encirclement I had set up in advance, surrounded and annihilated it. ”

Chen Zhong said: "Your idea is correct, but the Russians will still follow this path, even if they can guess that the Japanese army is very likely to ambush here." ”

"Yes, I told General Rozhdestvensky about it yesterday, but the conceited Russian general was dismissive." Chen Fangzheng said helplessly.

This king also made this opinion to him, but this extremely paranoid fellow will not shed tears when he sees the coffin! The king believes that he will pay a terrible price for this!

This king believes that everything should not be willful because of personal character, which is the worst manifestation of extreme irresponsibility to your mission! Especially as a commander of an army! ”。
