Chapter 136 Tsushima (II) (Ask for a monthly pass!) Read! ）

"...... "Is there a white flag on the ship?"

Who could have imagined that this was the first thing that Vice Admiral Rozhistvinsky, commander-in-chief of the Russian Second Pacific Fleet, said after boarding the "Petrovie"?

…… The Ripple on this side also opened fire, but the "Petervie" did not return fire. At first, Captain Aiwa was still admiring the Russians' calmness, because the destroyer's shelling at a distance of four thousand meters was meaningless, so the Russians disdained to shoot back, but soon Captain Aiwa Hengsan saw that something was wrong: the "Petervie" was not ready to gather at all, and he didn't even take off his gun suit.

It was the idea of Rozhest Stevensky, the commander-in-chief of the fleet, to put on the gun jacket, saying that because there were wounded on board, it could be said to be a hospital ship, and the Japanese warships could not attack the ship. But which boat was without casualties at that time? This was not a reason not to be attacked at all, so Vice Admiral Rozherstvinsky came up with the idea of covering the cannon with a cannon coat to indicate that "the ship is unarmed" or "the ship is not armed".

After the Japanese destroyers began to attack, in strict accordance with the provisions of international law on the method of confirming the surrender of warships in naval warfare, after stopping the engines, a white flag made of white tablecloth was hoisted along with a signal flag: "Our ship has wounded."

Lieutenant Tsukamoto then boarded the Peterwig with ten men, and when he inspected a cabin, the Russian sailors on guard first refused to let them in, and when they saw that the Japanese did not pay any attention, they changed to a pleading tone. Tsukamoto didn't know Russian, but a pronunciation similar to "Amiral" caught his attention, and Tsukamoto boldly pointed to the man lying in the cabin and asked.

“ishetheadmiralrozhestvensky？ (Is that General Rogerst Winsky?) )”

The answer was: "yes".

Lieutenant Tsukamoto, who couldn't believe his ears, hurriedly rushed to the deck to raise the hand flag, and Captain Aiba's reply was: "Reconfirm", because Captain Aiwa Hengzo thought that it was impossible to capture the fleet commander of a country based on the knowledge he had, and a fleet commander could be killed, he could commit suicide, how could he be captured alive?

The fact is that the fleet commander of the Russian Navy really shamefully made a prisoner of the Japanese.

The Third Pacific Fleet led by Rear Admiral Nebogatov seemed to have been forgotten by the Combined Fleet on the first day of fighting, and Rear Admiral Nebogatov also consciously rushed his way with his "floating irons" and did not follow suit. The sinking of the "Duke Suvorov", Nebogatov saw from afar, and according to common sense, he deduced that Vice Admiral Rozhestvinsky had died in his line of duty, and although he had not yet received an official order, he had to assume the duties of commander of the fleet.

Before sunset, Nebogatov also picked up the Eagle floating on the water, and took her with him to Vladivostok, and at night, the lawless Japanese destroyers and torpedo boats circled the world and hit the lights when they saw them, and Nebogatov and the Third Pacific Fleet set off from the Boro Sea at night and kept the lights on at night, so Nebogatov came over without loss the night after setting off from the Boro Sea.

Rear Admiral Nebogatov, while thanking God, continued to pray to God that the Japanese would not find themselves in the daylight of the next day, and survived the daytime of the next day, and basically the next day, Rear Admiral Nebogatov rushed to Vladivostok with the fleet.

On the way to the port, Rear Admiral Nebogatov leaned over and thanked God, but from the eyes of an onlooker, perhaps he should be more grateful to the Chinese, it was the high-quality Chinese anthracite coal that was replaced in Sanduao that saved him, and while he was heading towards Vladivostok, the Fifth Squadron of the Combined Fleet, with the Itsukushima as the flagship, was searching near its route, and if they still used the billowing smoke from the inferior coal characteristic of the Russian fleet, I am afraid it would be immediately discovered.

Although, theoretically, with the exception of the Black Sea Fleet, which was not allowed to dismiss the Dardanelles due to the restrictions of the Paris Peace Treaty after the Crimean War, the Russian Far East Fleet and the Boro Sea Fleet were not completely wiped out because of the "luck" of General Nebogatov, in fact, except for the Black Sea Fleet, the Russian naval power no longer exists! ”

World Naval Yearbook

“…… The losses of the Japanese Combined Fleet were only three torpedo boats, one of which ran aground on its own and sank. In the Battle of Tsushima, nineteen warships of the Russian fleet, including six battleships, were sunk, and five warships, including one battleship, were captured. …… In the end, only the old remnants of the Third Pacific Fleet led by Commander Nebogatov managed to reach Vladivostok. ”,

Listening to Ye Zugui's report, Chen Moran was silent for a long time, looking at the Japanese Navy's secret telegram translated by the Naval Intelligence Department, history still changed a little here, at least those "floating irons" of Nebogatov's Third Pacific Fleet successfully reached Vladivostok.

However, there is no doubt that the Japanese Navy won an absolute victory in the naval battle as in history, and the defeat of the Russian Navy meant that there was no Tsarist fleet on the high seas after that, and the national fortunes of the Russian Empire had already been decided, and the same time had come to determine the national fortunes of China.

"You know what?"

Looking away from the telegram on the table and looking at Ye Zugui in front of him, Chen Moran spoke.

"Hirobumi Ito was killed by a Japanese policeman in Yokohama!"

When he said this, Chen Moran sighed bitterly, Ito Hirobumi died, on the day when the United Fleet and the Russian Fleet decided, on the day when the national fortune was decided, Ito Hirobumi, the only sober brain in Japan, died in the hands of the Japanese themselves, although in his heart there may be no one in this world who is more eager to kill Ito than himself, but it is by no means now.

"A true man with blood xing, who has the courage to fight hard in this autumn of survival! Dare to speak the truth! For the survival of the empire, for all the good memories that have been, we should ...... with the courage of a three-foot horseman who spattered blood."

Thinking of the praise of the policeman who assassinated Ito in the Japanese newspapers, after his arrest, he accused Ito of betraying Japanese interests and violating the Japanese emperor's holy decree. This "hero" has earned the respect of the entire Japanese society, and some Japanese people and groups have been moving around in the hope of saving him from death.

Chen Moran couldn't help but sigh in his heart that on the day of May 27, the national fortunes of Russia, Japan and even China have been decided, the national fortunes of Russia and Japan have been decided, Japan has won the future, and what about China?

The paradox of history is that Hirobumi Ito died, at a time when he could not die at the least, he died. And at the same time as his death, China's national fortunes also changed on this day, if Ito Hirobumi did not die, with Ito Hirobumi's sober brain would definitely prevent Japan from declaring war on China,

Although in this war, China "usurped" the fruits of Japan's victory, but there are already two factions in Japan, rapid progress and slow progress, Ito Hirobumi tried his best to advocate slow advance, the reason is to take into account the international balance of power in this region, so as not to make too many enemies among the great powers, and out of consideration of Japan's current strength, he will also oppose the war against China at the beginning of the war against Russia, and now Japan, which has lost its internal checks and balances, will eventually go to that step, but it is not something he can predict.

More than anyone else, I wanted Ito to die, and now I did, but Ito's death made the possibility of an explosive war between China and Japan in the next one to two years almost a foregone conclusion.

"Your Majesty, it seems that no one can stop the rapid advance faction in Japan!"

There was also a hint of apprehension in Ye Zugui's words, and he knew better than anyone what this meant, which meant that the navy had to be prepared for a grand decisive battle with Japan.

"Hmm!"

Nodding, Chen Moran didn't say anything, but stood up, walked slowly to the window, and when he looked out of the window, he could occasionally see some tourists walking on the lawn of the annex, now the outside world does not know that Japan won this war, maybe tomorrow, when the newspaper reports the news, when the Chinese people are surprised by Japan's victory, they will know that Japan won this naval battle also means that a full-scale war between China and Japan has also reached the stage of triggering out.

"We have ...... at most"

After being silent for a while, Chen Moran continued.

"A year or a year and a half!"

From now until October, Japan and Russia will ratify the peace treaty, which means at least 5 months without taking into account the Japanese invasion.

Considering Japan's current economic problems, they will leave themselves at least a year, maybe a year and a half if it is long, although this time may seem abundant, but in reality, it is not enough at all, especially ...... Looking back at Ye Zugui.

"If I could, I don't want a naval war with Japan, at least for the next ten years!"

Ye Zugui did not answer His Majesty's words, and similarly, he did not know hope, but what could he do if he did not wish?

"Tsushima, this battle of Tsushima and the bayonet of Hirobumi Ito can be said to have decided that there will be a war between China and Japan, and soon! So, we have to prepare for this war! ”

Perhaps the decisive thing will be a naval battle, and the outcome of the naval battle will directly determine the future direction of the war, but the problem is that China has no hope of winning the naval war at all.

Submarines have no role in large-scale naval battles, otherwise neither Jutland nor Bismarck will end in the defeat of Germany, and as for the aircraft, although the Chinese aircraft are ahead of other countries, they are still overwhelmed.

"Your Majesty, if you buy ships on a large scale now, maybe ...... Maybe it's still in a hurry? ”

Is there a hurry? It's only a year and a half!
