China's use of airships on the battlefield in Vladivostok has achieved great results. Germany, with its good relations with China, can easily obtain relevant production technology from China. China's enemies, Britain, France, the United States, Russia, Japan, and other countries, were in a state of panic. For a long time, wars have been confined to land and sea, and now, China has extended the war to the sky, and has been far ahead of other countries. If they don't catch up, I'm afraid they will have to bear an unpredictable price in the future.

Britain and France had the advantage in scientific and technological strength, and soon began to develop their own airships, but in terms of progress, they were far inferior to Germany, which received its technology directly from China. The United States, Russia, and Japan have also carried out related research, but the progress of the three countries is very slow, either due to technology or limited by funding.

The battle of the squadron in Vladivostok, with the support of airships, won a great victory. On April 4, airships bombed the second river defense line in Vladivostok, and aerial bombs fell from the sky, blasting the Russian army's fortified batteries and fortresses into ruins, and almost the entire defense line was destroyed. The 2nd Army seized this opportunity and broke through the second line of defense of the river in Vladivostok in one fell swoop. If it weren't for the fact that the airship units did not carry enough bombs, I am afraid that the Second Army would have broken through the first river defense line in one fell swoop and smashed into the urban area of Vladivostok.

Now, in front of the Second Army, there was only one line of defense left on the first river, which was also the last barrier in Vladivostok. After breaking through this line of defense, the squadron will be able to annihilate the Russian army in Vladivostok in one fell swoop. The Navy's home fleet detachment also temporarily suspended the shelling of the Vladivostok shore defense batteries. With the strength of the detachment fleet. It is indeed a little helpless to deal with the shore fortifications of Vladivostok. It just so happened that the airship unit of the Air Force showed extremely strong combat power. It allows the airship troops to deal with strong turrets. So as not to fight hard with warships. In the face of reprisals from the British Navy, every battleship was extremely valuable.

With the successive victories of the squadron, the Russian troops in Vladivostok are also panicking. At the beginning, they thought they would be able to resist the attack of the ** squadron lightly, but now, Vladivostok's defeat is just around the corner!

The Far Eastern Governor's Palace, the Governor-General of the Far East, Governor Aleksayev, once again convened a meeting, but. Now he looks a little angry. After the defense line in the Sikhotes was broken through by the squadron, the tsar had already called to reprimand him and the generals of Vladivostok. After the second river defense line was broken through again, Tsar Nicholas II directly ordered that the Russian army in the Far East must fight to the end. If they dare to surrender to the squadron like the Russian army in Kyakhta, they will all be court-martialed after the war. Their families will also be punished for treason. Tsar Nicholas II has already made no secret of his anger and displeasure.

"Ladies and gentlemen, His Majesty the Tsar is calling. It is strictly ordered that we must defend Vladivostok, even if we can't hold Vladivostok. I will fight to the last soldier. If we surrender, when the war is over, not only will we be court-martialed, but our families will also be punished for treason! What awaits us and our families will be the gallows! "Governor Alekseev's face was as black as the bottom of a pot. Originally, he thought that being the governor of the Far East was a beautiful errand, but now, this is simply an errand that requires human lives! Moreover, the tsar has made it clear that he will either die in battle or be hanged. It's a complete dilemma, what can they do?

"How can His Majesty the Tsar do this to us? He's going to send us to death! My God! How can it be so cruel? Vladivostok Mayor Victor said with a look of horror. He was originally a civil official, and in Western countries, there is no such thing as officials dying for the country, and their lives are the most important. If the army can't defeat the enemy, then it's normal for them to surrender, but now, the order of Tsar Nicholas II has completely blocked this road, which is completely unruly!

"It's useless to say this now, if you want to survive, you have to block the attack of the Chinese." Lieutenant General Vasily, now only the first line of river defense remains, will it be able to withstand the attack of the Chinese? Governor Alekseev asked.

"Your Excellency the Governor, I have to tell you frankly that although the first line of defense of the river is the strongest line, we still have no confidence in the face of the bombardment of the giant airships of the Chinese. Bombs falling from the sky can destroy our strong fortress with a light lightness. And the number of squadrons is now several times that of ours, and once the strong defense line loses its effect, we are not the opponent of the Chinese at all! If possible, let's surrender! Lieutenant General Vasily said. Now, there are only three divisions of more than 30,000 Russian troops left guarding Vladivostok, and most of them have been frightened by the airships of the squadron. Many Russian troops guarding the first river defense line have already refused to enter the batteries and fortresses again. If these forts and fortresses were able to provide them with all-round protection before, now entering the forts and fortresses is simply looking for death. In this case, to resist the attack of the squadron is simply a dream.

"Your Excellency the Governor, although the coastal defense positions are still very strong, the Chinese Navy has not launched an offensive today. However, what is certain is that the Chinese Navy is also waiting for their airship forces to free up their hands to bomb coastal defense positions. The fortresses and exposures on the coastal defense positions could not withstand the bombing of the Chinese airships. Once the coastal defense positions are destroyed, the Chinese Navy's powerful firepower will directly launch an artillery attack on Vladivostok. When the time comes, our situation will be even more difficult! "said the commander of the coastal defense position, Major General AP Sshosin.

"Isn't there something we can do? Having lost strong fortifications, we still have tens of thousands of soldiers, and hundreds of thousands of citizens! Even if we fight in the streets with the Chinese, we will be able to resist them! Isn't surrendering now forcing our families and ourselves to die? Governor Alekseev said angrily. Conditions in the Far East were difficult, so his family stayed in Moscow. If he surrenders, won't his family be dead? Although Governor Alekseev is a somewhat selfish person, he does not want to watch his family go to the gallows!

"Your Excellency the Governor, perhaps what His Majesty the Tsar said was just angry talk. We surrendered simply because we were cornered. If this is the only reason why our families are going to be executed, then it would be unreasonable. The nobles and ministers of the country will definitely not agree! Vladivostok Mayor Victor said. Most of his family is in Vladivostok, and only a few are in Moscow. Therefore, even if Nicholas II wanted to vent his hatred against their family, he would not be unacceptable.

"Yes! Your Excellency the Governor, I fully agree with the words of Mayor Victor. If the Tsar is a general who fights to the death on our front, then who will dare to fight for the Reich in the future? His Excellency the Governor could have contacted the ministers and nobles in the country first to make sure that this did not happen. In this way, we will have more room to maneuver. If we are defeated, we will be able to save our lives! Lieutenant General Vasily said. As an army commander in the Far East, he obviously lost confidence in holding Vladivostok.

"Well, I will contact Moscow, and I believe that His Excellency the Prime Minister will not agree to this approach of His Majesty the Tsar. However, we must hold Vladivostok as much as possible, and even if we want to surrender, we must do so when there is really no way to do so. Otherwise, we will not be able to give an account to His Majesty the Tsar and the Russian people! Governor Alekseev said.

"Your Excellency the Governor, rest assured, we will do our best in this last battle. We also don't want to surrender so lightly, and only if we fight this battle well, the Chinese will be able to agree to our conditions. When negotiating, it can also fight for more benefits for us! Lieutenant General Vasily said. After surrendering, of course, he wanted to be able to keep as much of their interests as possible, in case they were all imprisoned in concentration camps, or used to build roads and mine, wouldn't it be a big loss? In that case, it is better to die on the battlefield!

"Well, then let's decide! Once Vladivostok can't hold on, I'll think about everyone's lives! Governor Alekseev said.

Governor Alekseev was able to make such a decision, and everyone was very happy. Although, as Russians, they should fight for the interests of Russia, if they do so, it is a complete betrayal of Russia. However, when there is a conflict between national interests and their own interests, these Westerners will not treat themselves badly. Anyway, in their coming, the outcome of this war is already doomed, and it is difficult for Russia to win this war in terms of the strong strength shown by the Chinese ** team in the battlefield. Even Grand Duke Nicholas, who commanded the operations in the Eastern Siberian region, had a hard time turning the tide. In such a situation, it is also natural for them to consider their own interests.

On April 5, the airship unit of the Chinese Air Force once again visited Vladivostok and launched a fierce bombardment of the first river defense line in Vladivostok, behind which was the urban area of Vladivostok. If you take this place, you will be able to storm the city of Vladivostok and end the fighting in the Far East in one fell swoop!
