Alexander. Vasilyevich. Kolchak. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

A familiar name -- there are no doubt that in China in the second half of the twentieth century, at least in the fifties and eighties, there were not many people who had never heard of this Russian admiral: the supreme ruler of the Russian Provisional Government against the Bolshevik regime, the commander-in-chief of the White Army, the representative of the "counter-revolutionaries" of the Russian Civil War, and his name certainly did not strike unfamiliar in a country that had imported a large number of Soviet revolutionary literatures -- and Qin Lang was a military enthusiast.

Although he paid little attention to Kolchak, and had little access to his information except for the rather popular articles, the commanders of the White Army during the Russian Civil War, whether Kolchak, Denikin, or anyone else, were never the object of his interest.

Because he had little interest in that war.

However, "no attention" does not mean that Qin Lang's understanding of Kolchak is only limited to his name, after all, even if it is a very popular article, even if the author created them only to overturn the case, as long as it is not lowered to the level of reading materials on the ground, then there is always a little value.

Maybe he didn't really "know" the admiral, but Qin Lang did know some of his famous deeds.

This in no way includes directing one destroyer to sink two cruisers alone.

Surprise was inevitable, although Qin Lang had always thought that after experiencing a mischievous time travel, there was no one and nothing in this world that could surprise him. However, Harrington conveyed the news as if a general in a European theater had suddenly heard that an officer of his unit had single-handedly killed two Tigers with a Sherman, and even the scheming Bradley could not have kept it calm.

He would be stunned and say, "Holy-crap!" Or some other interjection, and at the end he would ask, "How did that lucky boy do it?" ”

This is also Qin Lang's problem.

Of course, Vice Admiral Makarov also wanted to know its answer. He carefully read the battle report submitted by Kolchak, read it word by word, for nearly thirty minutes, and finally raised his head and looked at the captain of the destroyer, who was standing in front of him like a stake, his body was straight.

"Alexander. Vasilyevich, why don't you sit down? "There is something strange about the vice admiral.

"I prefer to stand, General." Kolchak's chest straightened and his chin raised.

Something seems to be wrong. Makarov secretly guessed. Perhaps it was the doubts of some people about his record that stimulated the lieutenant admiral: it is no secret that many did not believe that he was able to command a destroyer to sink two cruisers. While the Admiralty and the government had begun to engage in great publicity and celebration, the Admiralty Minister also demanded that the Pacific Fleet investigate and submit an official report confirming Kolchak's achievements.

The request of the Minister of the Navy was almost public. In addition to this, there are many whispers among officers, private questioning, criticism, and perhaps ridicule.

The vice admiral knew what was going on. There is no doubt that Russia needs a hero like Kolchak in this war, and his deeds have propaganda value, but when St. Petersburg begins to think about whether this hero should be awarded medals and promotions, the truth becomes important.

Besides, both the army and the government are full of jealous guys, who are very good at finding bones in eggs.

This is nothing, just a small meaning, even if Kolchak really falsely reported the results, only the category of medals he received was affected, as well as promotions. It is impossible for St. Petersburg to ruin the image of a hero that he has built, and it is not good for anyone to do so, especially since it has been a long-standing practice for soldiers to pour water into their own achievements, and as long as it is not so exaggerated as to make it seem like a joke, no one really cares - but no one is so stupid. Vice Admiral thought. Little did he know, however, that in half a century, in the East, there would be an "army" that would make a joke about "destroying 100 million enemies and advancing victoriously", and that this was only one of the jokes it made, and that the others, such as killing an enemy commander sixty-eight times, would probably surprise him so much that he could not utter a word—it was so stupid! Fools should know this is.

However, since Makarov did not know this, he was only concerned with Kolchak. He was confident that the lieutenant commander had not misrepresented his grades, and that the public and private doubts would soon be clarified - there was no need to worry about anything, at least Makarov thought, but Kolchak ......

His reaction was too agitated.

The vice admiral shook his head quietly and sighed in his stomach. The lieutenant commander was an excellent explorer, engineer and captain, and perhaps a great fleet commander in the future, but politically, he was very immature.

Unfortunately, for someone like him, persuasion and comfort may not change his attitude for the better, but it usually makes the situation worse. Thinking about it, Makarov decided to jump away from the question.

"Alexander. Vasilyevich, you know, I transferred you here, so I believe in your abilities. "That's all I can say. He paused for a moment and raised the battle report in his hand, "I've read your report, but there are still some details that I haven't figured out. According to the report, when you spot the Japanese cruisers, they are less than a kilometer away from you......"

"They're only nine hundred meters away from me, to be exact, General." Kolchak corrected, his eyes turned upwards and stared at the ceiling. "More precisely, it was the Japanese who first discovered my destroyer."

Makarov's eyebrows raised. "I don't think there's any need for us to waste time on these minor issues."

"You have the final say, General."

Whatever the reasons for his attitude, the vice admiral did not see the need for him to continue to maintain a moderate posture. He put down his report, leaned forward a bit, and then changed to a businesslike tone. "If you think there is a mistake in my understanding of your battle report, Lieutenant Commander Kolchak, please dictate the specific course of the battle."

"Yes, General." Kolchak's chest straightened again, and his chin was raised higher, "Last night, according to your orders......"

Twelve hours ago.

A small warship is moving slowly on the undulating sea. The number on the side of the ship and the St. Andrei's flag fluttering on the stern with a white background and a blue cross indicate its identity: the destroyer "Impatient" of the Imperial Russian Navy, a fifty-eight-meter-long boat with a standard displacement of only two hundred and thirty tons, an inconspicuous ugly duckling.

On the humble bridge of the ugly duckling, its captain, co-captain, and navigator huddled together, and with the help of the faint light, they gestured and discussed aloud on a sea-soaked chart.

"Listen to me, we've come too far, Alexander. Vasilyevich. The deputy commander shouted, "We should turn around and lay mines in the predetermined sea." ”

"There's no point in doing that." Kolchak retorted, "The Japanese knew that we were laying mines there, and their fleet never entered that area. So, we're going to go to a place where the Japanese don't know about laying mines and give them an unexpected surprise. ”

"Entering a sea area without prior reconnaissance and laying mines?" The vice-captain shook his head worriedly, "Maybe we'll meet the unexpected surprise that the Japanese have given us." ”

After saying this, before Kolchak could say anything, he realized that he had said it wrong.

The bow of the Impatient was suddenly enveloped by a blinding light from the right side, and then another pillar of light from the starboard side descended on the bridge, making it as bright as day. Kolchak involuntarily turned his head to the side and closed his eyes, raising his right hand to try to block out the light. It was also at this moment that he heard the shouts of the co-captain and the navigator: "Japanese warship! ”

"Damn it!" Cursing, a prophecy to the co-captain and a neglect of everyone, including himself, Kolchak lowered his arms, opened his eyes, and refocused his gaze on the bow.

Two Japanese cruisers! The lieutenant colonel's muscles tensed suddenly, and then his breathing became rapid: at any time, if a destroyer met two cruisers, it could only immediately turn around and flee. However, now, the two Japanese cruisers and the "Impatient" were only nine hundred meters away and fled......

"We don't have a chance, Alexander. Vasilyevich! "The vice-captain is already desperate.

"Shut up!" Kolchak scolded—now was not the time for personal relationships—and then inhaled hard, pointing straight ahead with his right hand. "Full speed ahead!"

"Full speed ahead, Captain?" The navigator thought there was something wrong with his ears.

"You hear me, full speed ahead!" Kolchak did not want to explain that order, but full speed was the only reasonable option for now: there was a gap between the two Japanese cruisers, about one hundred and fifty meters, through which the destroyers could pass, and the Japanese could not open fire, unless they intended to hit their own people.

The navigator was not yet aware of this, but he carried out the order.

The destroyer began to accelerate, though not perceptible for the time being; And Kolchak also gave his second and third orders. "Torpedo tube loading torpedoes! All artillery fired at the Japanese cruiser at once! ”

"Are you sure, Captain?" The gunslinger swallowed, "Our artillery ......"

"I know that our artillery cannot sink a single cruiser, but I ask the gunners to fire all our artillery fire!" Kolchak roared angrily - why did these guys always question his orders at the wrong time? Thinking of today's mistake, he raised his voice again: "Aim at the place where the figure is moving, shoot freely!" ”

"Yes, Captain, obey, Captain." Frightened, the gunners turned and rushed to the gunners, who had hurriedly boarded the deck, and with a roar and boots drove them to their posts. After a while, the destroyer's two 75-mm, three 47-mm and two 37-mm guns began to fire indiscriminately.

The Japanese cruisers also opened fire. Two shells whizzed over the destroyer and fell into its track.

"Maybe we should ditch the mines and torpedoes, captain." The co-captain, who had finally recovered, suggested, "If those things are hit by shells, we're done." ”

Kolchak glanced at him. "Frankly, considering the size of the ship, if we get hit by a shell, with or without torpedoes and mines, we will be finished in no time."

"But it's always safer to throw them away."

"No, I need those torpedoes and mines!" Kolchak's gaze rested on the two approaching cruisers, and gradually became fierce. "I'm going to kill them!"

The vice-captain felt his lips dry a little. "Alexander. Vasilyevich, are you serious? ”

"Yes, I'm going to kill them!" An affirmative, unquestionable tone. Kolchak's resolve has never been stronger.

For a moment, everyone on the deck paused their movements, and then they all picked up speed.
