Sato and Suzuki looked at each other and laughed together, using the First Fleet to "teach" Chinese only to find that the Chinese fleet was so ...... Small, the Japanese First Fleet could crush them even if they ran into it directly. Could it be that this is the full strength of the Chinese Navy? Yes, I'm afraid yes, according to intelligence, this time the Chinese Navy did come out of the nest in order to save the overseas Chinese persecuted by the North Koreans.

Kantaro Suzuki said: "Order, the fleet forcibly occupies the T-word, we scare and scare the Chinese, so that they will never dare to go out twenty nautical miles in the future, so that they will be afraid when they see the Japanese Navy." ”

Then the Japanese warship cannon was erected, and the thick muzzle was aimed at the Chinese rescue fleet. Soon, the Chinese and Japanese warships were only a few nautical miles away, and even the two sides could clearly see the commander on the opposite control tower, Suzuki Kantaro stood on the Nagato command tower and looked at the flagship of the ** ship opposite, and happened to meet Liu Guanxiong looking at him.

The two seemed to make eye contact, and the guns of the Chinese fleet were aimed at the Japanese fleet, but they did not fire.

"Commander, they have already shooted, we ......" Liu Yaoxing, the captain of the Old Man Asterisk, said anxiously to Liu Guanxiong. Although the Chinese rescue team spotted the Japanese fleet early, Liu Guanxiong did not put on a fighting posture and did not seize the T-prefix. Liu Guanxiong argues that the battle posture of seizing the T-prefix is undoubtedly a suicidal act, because in the event of an engagement, the Chinese navy will inevitably be burned to the ground – although Wang Maoru can use it to achieve the path of militarization. But as the chief of the navy, Liu Guanxiong was very selfish in his desire to keep the Chinese navy.

The Chinese navy is also full of contradictions. Liu Guanxiong even saw that if a naval war broke out between China and Japan this time, he would enter the Martyrs' Shrine after his death, but if no war broke out. This was the end of his military career. He is not afraid of death, he is afraid of the last drop of blood shed in the navy.

"President, you can sacrifice the navy, but I can't. Because you're a politician and I'm a soldier, I'm sorry, I'm going to disobey your orders. Liu Guanxiong said in his heart. He glared at him and said resolutely: "Don't move, if we want to rob, we will rob it long ago, our army will find out before the enemy - but what is the use." The total tonnage of our fleet is less than one-sixth of the enemy. After the First Sino-Japanese Naval War, the East China Sea was already Japan's territorial waters, and we are now within Japan's territorial waters. In fact, after seeing the other side's warship, Liu Guanxiong also understood all the preparations before the war. When the two armies met, it was all in vain. The technical arms navy is not able to bridge the gap between the two sides with commendable courage. At the same time, Liu Guanxiong was also depressed in his heart, the intelligence department's intelligence was wrong, it was not the Fourth Fleet of the Japanese Navy, which was a little larger than the Chinese Navy, and the fluttering naval flag of the Yaoyao clearly said the First Fleet of the Imperial Japanese Navy......

"Then are we going to kill ourselves?" Liu Yaoxing said with lost eyes.

"My dead soul returns to the Martyrs' Shrine, and my death awakens the hearts of the people." Liu Guanxiong said lightly.

"Ugh." There was a sadness in the hearts of the officers in the command tower, China's East China Sea is now Japan's territorial waters, and the humiliation brought to China by the Sino-Japanese naval battle has been hanging over the Chinese for more than 20 years. The biggest impact of the First Sino-Japanese Naval Battle on China was not the payment of reparations. Instead, China's territorial waters became Japan's. Chinese fishing boats do not even dare to fish far out of the sea, and China's remaining warships can only cruise in the Yangtze River.

At this time, the First Fleet of the Japanese Navy had already forcibly occupied the T-prefix, and was only waiting for Suzuki Kantaro to give the order to open fire, and the Chinese Navy would be burned to the ground at that time.

However, the Japanese navy did not open fire, and the artillery of both sides confronted each other, and the atmosphere was extremely tense. The Japanese Navy waved the flag: "This is Japan's territorial waters, you must withdraw to China, otherwise it will be a declaration of war on the Great Japanese Empire." ”

The main battleship, the Avenger, immediately replied to the flag: "Our rescue fleet has received permission from the Japanese government to go to the sea of Nagasaki Military Port to pick up the Chinese." ”

The flag of the Japanese Navy said: "Our fleet has not received an order from the country, and according to the naval regulations, your unit must retreat." ”

The Avenger China Coast Guard replied in flag: "Your government has issued a telegram from all over the world, and it is impossible for your ministry not to receive it, and you are going against the will of your government and the emperor for peace and love, and some military officers are vainly trying to become shoguns and continue to control the Japanese emperor and the Japanese state." ”

The Chinese's reply immediately caused a commotion among the Japanese naval officers and sailors on the Japanese battleship, and since the naval flag language is a compulsory course, many Japanese naval officers can understand the words of the Chinese. In particular, the words of the shogun and the emperor and the state of Japan greatly damaged the morale of the Japanese First Fleet.

"Chinese, work cunningly and cunningly." Kantaro Suzuki stroked a pinch of white beard on his chin and said, "But the navy is not a place where you can win with a good mouth, the navy is more united than any other service, and we are not those intriguing armies." ”

The Japanese Navy said: "Our department has not received a telegram, please return to China immediately, otherwise it will be a declaration of war on the Japanese Navy!" ”

The Chinese side responded: "The Japanese Navy has not only declared war on the Chinese rescue team, but has also turned a deaf ear to the orders of the Japanese emperor and undermined world peace." Please get out of the way! ”

At this time, in the sky, Li Ruyan, the deputy commander of the Army Navigation Corps, who was in charge of the command of the 318 airships, ordered the airships to slow down and hover over the Japanese battleships, and immediately ordered all the airships to open their bomb bomb magazines to prepare for bomb dropping -- the more than 70 airships immediately opened the bomb bomb compartments located in the belly of the airships, revealing a black hole -- but there were no bombs in them, they were here to rescue, not to fight, and to drop bombs from a height of 1,000 meters to blow up the battleships, this was just a threat.

Li Ruyan can only help the Chinese rescue fleet by scaring people, he knows that they have to buy time for the bombers, and at the same time, he knows that the fleet in front of him is definitely not the Japanese Fourth Fleet that is legendary in the intelligence, because the behemoth Nagato, the flagship of the other party, is obviously not the Kashima battleship that is a little larger than the old man star in the intelligence.

The intelligence is wrong, the intelligence is wrong, Li Ruyan was surprised, he looked at the Chinese and Japanese naval ships facing below, and said silently in his heart, Navy brothers, I can only help you get here.

The information is wrong! In the command tower of the Japanese First Fleet, all the commanders also exclaimed at the same time, because the opening of the bomb compartment door surprised the commander of the Japanese First Fleet, Suzuki Kantaro, and he and Sato Tetsutaro looked at each other and exclaimed: "Could it be that the Chinese airship is carrying bombs?" They gave us a counter-attack? ”

Although at this time, the head of the Japanese Naval Academy, Yamamoto Isoroku, strongly advocated a risky attack, believing that the Chinese would never come here with ammunition for more than 300 airships, they were here to save people, not to fight. However, Kantaro Suzuki and Tetsutaro Sato are both very cautious people and belong to the conservative faction, so they vetoed Yamamoto Isoroku's bold adventure. At this time, even Kato Kanji, who has always been tough, is not sure, in case this is a strategy of the Chinese, then the Japanese First Fleet, which reassures and prides the Japanese, will suffer heavy losses.

Before departure, the decision of the Japanese Admiralty was to teach the Chinese fleet a lesson, but the word "lesson" was very vague, and the Japanese Admiralty did not make a specific decision on whether to destroy or not to destroy the Chinese rescue team. Japan's Admiralty Minister of the Navy Murakami Geichi did not support the elimination of the Chinese rescue team, but the middle and lower rank officers of the Navy demanded that the Chinese rescue team be attacked one after another, and the hardliners in the military represented by Kato Kanji hoped that the Japanese Navy would not take into account any international prestige, and that such an illusory thing as international prestige would have the benefit of destroying China's only maritime power.

However, the Americans and the British were constantly wary of the Japanese navy, and suppressed Japan in the Washington Naval Treaty. The attack on China's rescue fleet was nothing more than the elimination of the planned young enemy, but it also had a great negative impact on Japan, which would be infamous internationally and face the wrath of a unified China. Speaking of this notoriety, it is only useful after it is used, Britain and the United States were originally to guard against the Japanese navy becoming bigger, so the Minister of the Navy, Murakami Geichi, believes that the elimination of the Chinese rescue fleet will only make the British and American countries accelerate the sanctions against the Japanese navy, and our priority now is to revive the economy.

However, Kanji Kato strongly advocated that destroying the enemy and budding it was the best strategy, and behind Kanji Kato stood the Chief of Staff of the Navy, Tetsutaro Sato, so Sato's opinion was particularly important. It was Sato's "waiting for an opportunity" to train the First Fleet at sea after thinking about it that prompted the First Fleet to leave the Yokosuka Military Port.

After a brief period of hesitation and a tense standoff, Kantaro Suzuki finally decided to follow the cabinet's decision not to attack China at this time. For the Chinese rescue fleet, the Japanese Navy was very confident that only three salves of artillery fire were needed, and the little naval power that China had left would be wiped out. Therefore, Kantaro Suzuki has reason to believe that the Chinese Navy on the other side has red eyes and is determined to die, and they are just dishes on the plate of the Japanese Navy, and the Japanese can eat whenever they want.

Tetsutaro Sato's consistent ambiguity about the unknown has also saved the lives of hundreds of people on 17 Chinese warships.

Only then did the First Fleet of the Japanese Navy wave the flag to the Chinese rescue fleet: "Our unit will escort you to the Nagasaki Military Port." ”

Of course, the large-scale airship in the sky still played a certain psychological role in the threat to the Japanese, and Li Ruyan's decision brought good luck to the rescue fleet.

The Japanese began to pay attention to the Chinese air force, especially the airship, because this obscuration of the sky and the sun made the Japanese suddenly have an epiphany, and there may be other modes of future war. In particular, Yamamoto Isoroku, president of the Japanese Naval University, is a rare officer in the Japanese Navy who strongly supports sea aircraft, and the airship in the sky gave him a great shock while reminding him that the Chinese are far from being as simple as they imagined.

Therefore, this confrontation at sea brought half of the good luck and bad luck to the Chinese, the good luck was to save the last drop of flesh and blood of the navy, and the bad luck was to indirectly force the Japanese to accelerate the construction of aircraft carrier plans.
