Vice Admiral Rozhestvensky, who was not originally the commander of the Russian fleet. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

When it comes to the Second Pacific Fleet, their fate is even more tragic than that of the First Pacific Fleet, which was attacked and then trapped in Arthur.

From the beginning of the formation of the Second Fleet, it was not smooth, and the first chosen commander refused to take over, it was an old man, in his sixties, who did not want to die in the long voyage.

In this way, Rodger Stvensky was able to take over, and his succession was opposed by many people, saying that he was able to get this position because he was a favorite of the tsar, and he was only a major general at that time, and some people said that the qualifications were too shallow, and the tsar directly promoted him to lieutenant general, saying that such qualifications were enough.

In any case, the first nominated commander was an old man, and the second was considered a favorite of the tsar, which illustrates from the side that Russia is seriously short of naval talent.

When it comes to fleets, the Russian fleet is huge, they have three coastal zones, the Baltic Sea, the Black Sea and the Pacific coast, so they have three fleets.

The most powerful is the Baltic Fleet, the Pacific Fleet is about the same, the Black Sea Fleet is negligible, there are only a few old ships, and the Pacific Fleet has no need to say what combat effectiveness it is, and at a considerable scale of warships, it was beaten like that by the Japanese, it was really inferior to the Beiyang Fleet.

As for the Baltic Fleet, in fact, it is not as good as the Pacific Fleet, and only a small part of this fleet is recruited from the Baltic coast in terms of combatants, and the vast majority of other sailors are actually farmers in the interior of Russia, who have never seen the sea at all.

Moreover, the poor amount of training of these sailors is not that the Russians are passive and slacking off, but that there are objective reasons, and the Baltic Sea outside St. Petersburg has a pitiful amount of time that does not freeze every year, so there is very little training time, and the fleet members call their fleet the Second Pacific Labor Camp.

In terms of ships, the Baltic Fleet is huge, but the three main battleships before departure have not yet been completed, and they have to bring construction crews to work while walking, which is also a spectacle.

It would be normal for such a navy not to make some jokes, so as soon as they left the Baltic Sea and ran into a British ship, they thought it was a Japanese ship and opened fire to bombard it, saying that it was not good that these sailors regarded the British Isles as a Japanese archipelago.

As a result, the British Empire almost failed to destroy the Russian fleet.

The torture suffered along the way, worthy of the title of the labor camp, often could not find a port to refuel, leased more than 70 coal carriers of the German Hamburg America Steamship Company to help refuel, and finally found a French port to dock quietly, and it would not take a few days to be notified to leave, so let alone rest, it is not enough time to hurry up and load coal.

However, the Russians broke the British Navy's record for the speed of coaling.

In addition to these, the Russians also made jokes about receiving cotton clothes on a hot day, which was as bizarre as the army in the northeast that needed rifles to get the statue of God.

Just when the ship had already reached the waters of China, there was also a situation in which Vice Admiral Fukeshan, commander of the main fleet, fell ill and died.

However, Rodger Stvensky blocked the news, and he did it to him, so as not to affect the morale of the army, and it was not until after Arthur that the news of the martyrdom of Mount Fox was announced, and a new commander of the battleship was appointed.

In Arthur, the huge fleet of the Russian army was recuperated, and the perfect facilities in Port Arthur were used to repair the damaged warships along the way, and at the same time, the remaining capital ships of the original Pacific First Fleet were reinstalled with guns to restore their combat effectiveness.

It took a month, after the battleship had received enough rest, before Rozhestvensky gave the order to set off.

They left Lushun and destroyed the port facilities in Dalian in one day, and then sank all the Japanese ships along the Korean coast.

Fast cruisers were dispatched to constantly patrol the Korean coast to prevent Japanese landings here.

Roger Stevensky's calm performance was still internationally recognized, which made the tsar have a long face, and he felt that he was right to forcibly promote him.

The performance of the Japanese army in this single time was a bit disappointing, and their bonds began to be sold, and no one cared about the six percent interest on the new bonds, as if Japan was about to lose the war.

International public opinion is like this, like a gust of wind, blowing like this today, and blowing like that tomorrow.

The commander of the Japanese Combined Fleet, Togo Heihachi, turned a blind eye and patiently took charge of fleet training.

After the defeat at the Battle of Arthur, he withdrew the Combined Fleet to Japan and docked at the Sasebo Military Port.

In fact, the Japanese fleet did not deal with it, as early as when the Russian fleet sailed into the Indian Ocean, Togo Heihachi began to act, planning several battle plans, but in the end they were all changed because Lushun failed to conquer them.

After the end of the blockade of Lushun, the first thing Dongxiang did was to give the officers and men who had blockaded Lushun for a year a ten-day vacation, and at the same time to carry out maintenance and repair of all ships in the military port.

The daily artillery drills lasted four or five hours, and the live-fire drills were carried out more than a dozen times, and the desperate training left less than half of the artillery shells in Japan's reserves, and the frightened Meiji Emperor urgently summoned Togo Heihachi.

"For our military, it is the same only to face the Second Pacific Fleet or to face the Combined Pacific Fleet."

Togo Heihachi explained to the emperor like this:

"It's nothing more than dedication to duty and fighting to the end!"

But how could such an attitude reassure the emperor, who asked, "Is it possible to defeat the other side?" ”

Dongxiang Ping Ba Yan said: "The number of three seven." However, if you can refine your gunnery and be well-trained, you may be able to reach five or five. ”

Togo Heihachi told the emperor that he had to train rigorously to have half the chance of winning.

Without a choice, the emperor was actually a gambler, and immediately asked Togo to improve the quality of his soldiers at all costs.

Compared with the training spirit of the Japanese, the Russians are much worse, and when they were in the Baltic, they could still use the excuse of the freezing period, but when they arrived in the sunny Yellow Sea of China, they were still the same, which is beyond words.

The Russians did not conduct a single live-fire training, and even before leaving the port for combat, they only conducted an empty ammunition exercise.

In peacetime, when there was no combat mission, the Russian officers began to gather on the hospital ships of noble ladies or in the governor's palace as they had before the war, and mingled with the army officers, drinking, dancing, and banging.

How can such a Russian fleet win against Japan?

Sure enough, when they thought they had scared the Japanese out of their mind, and had taken control of the sea from Arthur to the southern part of Korea, they began to seek to cut off the Japanese sea routes.

So the Russian fleet attacked en masse and bombarded the port of Busan, the closest port to the Japanese land in southern Korea, while the Japanese fleet was still cowering in Sasebo.

"Your Majesty, you need to make a certain sacrifice, maybe you can reach the number of June Four."

The attack on Pusan was tantamount to cutting off contact with the Korean ground forces, and the emperor could not help but panic and summoned Togo Heihachi again, who told the emperor that the chance of victory had increased by 10%.

The Emperor continued to choose to support Togo Heihachi.

Togo, on the other hand, continued to maintain warships and train soldiers.

The Russians continued to hold banquets and sing and dance.

The battle continued throughout August, and by September, the weather in the Yellow Sea was better, not as hot as August, but not cold, but the Russians still felt that like the tropics, there were always people enjoying the "tropical scenery" on the beaches of Arthur.

During this period, international public opinion was overwhelmingly in favor of Russia, and the victory on the battlefield continued to suppress discontent in Russia, and the common people hoped that the victory in the war would change the current situation, and they all regarded the current difficulties as temporary problems in the wartime.

The Trans-Siberian Railway was completely completed, and the Russian Army was transported to the northeast region one division after another, and it took only one month for the Russian army in the northeast to reach 500,000 people, and the slogan of the Russian army has now become to fight to Tokyo, occupy the Emperor's Palace, and fantasize about snatching the Japanese Imperial Palace like robbing the Forbidden City.

The rise in strength made the Russian army begin to become restless, and they began to launch a counteroffensive against Mukden, and even captured Mukden within three days, and the Japanese army retreated to Liaoyang en masse.

The victory of the army made the navy also restless, clamoring to attack the Japanese mainland.

They shouted like that, and they did.

Their targets were Nagasaki, Nagasaki, which was very close to the Sasebo Naval Port, Nagasaki, one of Japan's most prosperous cities, and Nagasaki, the center of the shipbuilding industry.

The Russians successfully bombed Nagasaki, razing Nagasaki's port facilities to the ground and shelling the city for half a day.

The Japanese Combined Fleet never moved, and remained cowering in the Sasebo military port.

This time, the emperor not only panicked, but turned into a panic and summoned Togo Heihachi again.

This time, he specially sent his own special car to take Togo Heihachiro to Tokyo, because Togo no longer dared to appear in public at this time, his home had been smashed into ruins by the angry Japanese people, and his family members all hid in the countryside, because from the elderly father to the young son in his arms, they were all in the hospital because they were beaten.

Even the soldiers in the navy glared angrily when they saw Togo Heihachi.

"It's already eight!"

After seeing the emperor's face, Togo Heihachi promised so.

The emperor was already a little impatient: "We can't afford to sacrifice Japanese cities, especially Nagasaki. ”

In the destruction of a Nagasaki, Japan really could not afford it.

Dongxiang Hei Hachio said: "One Nagasaki is enough, one Nagasaki, the minister has already died, there will be no second, there will be no more." ”

Dongxiang Hei Baza slammed his head on the ground, his pressure was actually greater than anyone else, and he hated him more than anyone else.

Yang Chao saw the momentum of the Russians frantically published in the newspaper, as if he was mourning and criticizing, as if it was the end of the world, because the Russians won, and the Northeast would never come back.

But Yang Chao sighed when he saw the newspaper: "Mah, the devil is really ruthless." It seems that the Russians are finished. I thought they would be able to defeat the Japanese, but it seems that they are dead. ”

After Yang Chao finished speaking, he plunged into the barracks.

"Practice, practice hard, Lao Tzu's one hundred taels of silver, it's not so easy to earn!"

Yang Chao's frantic shouting tripled the training volume of the road protection team.
