Chapter 149 Akiyama Mayuki's Choice (Ask for a Monthly Pass!) Read! ）

In the Japanese naval circles, Akiyama Shinyuki is the only genius, and at the same time a unique scholar. His figure is exactly what we think of as a Japanese, very short; His appearance is very ordinary. In appearance, you can see that he is wonderful, at most you can see that he is a cultivated person among ordinary people.

However, his peculiarity is worthy of the attention of almost every naval officer. Academically speaking, Akiyama Shinyuki was almost the only thinker in the Japanese Navy, and his naval tactics were beyond the reach of those in the Navy. And he is intellectually rich, and there are many aspects of knowledge and learning, and he can use it with his cleverness, and his own purpose is not to be a scholar, so he has not used scientific methods to organize it. All kinds of knowledge became a kind of intuitive intuition in his mind. So what everyone thinks is beyond his instincts. Many people say that he has a good eye and a good heart, and this is probably the effect of his latent will, which is formed by a wealth of knowledge.

During the Sino-Japanese Battle of the Yellow Sea, he served as a naval staff officer, and he had a lot of merits in the victory of the Yellow Sea. In the Japanese naval battle between Japan and Russia, he was the chief of staff of the fleet, and he was his director in all operations, and he beat the Baltic fleet to pieces. It was his battles, and according to what he himself told me, when the Russian Baltic ships came to the east, he only meditated every day, and was very willing to meditate.

Indeed, he knew clearly from a psychic effect the actions of the Baltic fleet. At that time, everyone was terrified, afraid of the great power of the Baltic fleet, and the people were terrified. He himself had a strong belief that he would be able to annihilate the Baltic fleet. All future battles will be fought by the power of this very firm belief, not by scientific methods. By scientific means, the Japanese fleet was by no means an opponent of the Baltic fleet.

Is this talent? Of course, of course, it is more of his efforts, and his efforts are beyond the reach of ordinary people. He slept very little in a day, and his hard work could only be described by the words "his hands could not release the scroll", either reading books or surveying maps, and in addition to meditating.

"Why fight with the Chinese?"

Staying in the stuffy room, studying the Chinese Navy and formulating plans related to the battle with the Chinese Navy, Mayuki Akiyama couldn't help but think about this question while calculating the various possibilities of a naval battle, although he knew the reason, but he couldn't understand the reason.

In terms of political ideas, Akiyama Shinyuki has always been a very enthusiastic southward theorist, and at the same time he is an anti-British and American theorist. His theory of southward expansion and the exclusion of Britain and the United States were entirely based on the revival of people of color. He was not talking about Great Orientalism, but about Greater Asianism, and not about Great Japanism, but about the equality of all human beings.

In Akiyama Shinyuki's view, Japan can never become a powerful 6-military country, neither population nor resources have the possibility of becoming a 6-military state, the only possibility is to become a powerful maritime country, so the fate of the Japanese is in the Americas and Australia, and it is precisely because of this that he will agree to return Taiwan to China and comprehensively repair relations with China, so as to expand a secure rear and a strong ally for Japan's advance in the Pacific.

But now, from the moment he accepted the commander's order, he understood that it was just his own dream, and that Japan would never be able to accept China on the other side of the sea and become a great power, just as Britain could not accept a strong France or Germany, and the sea had always been wary of the big six.

Once again, after attributing all the reasons to the "Ocean and Big 6" in his heart, Akiyama Shinyuki, who was sitting in front of the desk, once again pondered and meditated on the battle plan to defeat the Chinese Navy, for Akiyama Shinyuki, every time he thought about the battle plan, it was a serious intellectual overdraft for himself, and he needed to take everything into account, not just the navy, but from warships to artillery, to sailors, to the environment...... And so on, all of it.

In the end, in his mind, under his pencil, one plan after another was formed, and one plan after another was overturned, and anyone who saw his personal "naval battle deduction" had to admit that he was a genius, a real genius naval tactician, and he would often complete dozens or hundreds of tasks that could only be completed by himself.

This is Mayuki Akiyama, a man who can no longer find a second person in the Japanese Navy. ,

When Togo Heihachiro walked into the room, he saw Akiyama Mayuki sitting upright in the pile of materials with his eyes closed and thinking, and when he heard someone entering, he opened his eyes, and when he saw that it was Togo, he seemed to be surprised, and he stepped back, pointed at him and said:

"Your Excellency, when did you come, you, your face is very bad."

Heihachiro Togo, who had just come in, was taken aback by Akiyama's performance, so he replied.

"I just arrived, why, don't you have a concrete plan yet? The group of idiots in the headquarters don't know what naval warfare is at all. ”

As he spoke, Heihachiro Togo sat down, in his opinion, it was impossible for that group of staff officers to formulate a perfect battle plan, and all the losses caused by the battle plan were unbearable for Japan, at least not willing to bear, so he needed a more perfect plan, just like the perfect plan for the Battle of Tsushima.

The commander's question made Akiyama Shinyuki close his eyes again, put his hands together, and meditated for a minute or two, and then said to him again:

"Luckily, they still know how to take advantage of us."

Togo Heihachiro was confused by Akiyama Mayuki's answer at once, but he knew that Akiyama had always been so spirited, but it was not good to oppose him, so he thought about it and said to him:

"Those idiots know the advantage of wielding the navy, but they don't know that the navy is important to Japan, if it means that we have lost so many warships, in the next five years, Japan will be reduced to a second-rate country, and at that time, the navy that has suffered heavy losses will not be able to force China to end this war!"

"That's true, in any case, it is necessary to lose at least fifty percent of the battleships, but one is fifty percent and one is seventy percent! It depends on how you choose! ”

Akiyama Shinyuki closed his eyes again, meditated silently for a few minutes as usual, opened his eyes and said:

"If you follow the traditional plan to fight this battle, fight over and over, it will still inevitably fail in the end, at least it will be difficult to get what they want."

Hearing this, Heihachiro Togo knew that Akiyama Mayuki already had a relevant plan, so he asked:

"Akiyama, tell me your plan and see what you think!"

Looking at Akiyama Shinyuki, Togo Heihachiro knew that this battle was different from Tsushima, and there was almost no possibility if he wanted to win this battle easily, and the Chinese were not laborers who went on an expedition against the Russians, and they had to find a way to win them tactically.

According to the information we have now, the ranging and aiming systems of the Zhiyuan ship are more advanced than ours, 8 13.5-inch cannons, a salvo, at least one hit the warship, it only takes a few minutes, or even less, to damage a battleship!"

"yes!"

Dongxiang nodded heavily, the Zhiyuan ship is an obstacle that cannot be bypassed,

"When they sailed to Surabaya, in order to show that they were a battleship with strong combat effectiveness, from the beginning of sailing out of Sanduao, the average voyage was as high as 22.5 knots, which was unprecedented for a battleship, and it lasted the entire voyage, even our fastest cruiser, it was difficult to catch up with him, not to mention that this was a continuous range, coupled with the 13.5-inch main gun, the perfect combination of firepower and degree, for the Imperial Navy, the Zhiyuan ship was a nightmare at all!"

"It's not impossible to deal with the Zhiyuan ship, we have a great advantage in the number of ships, so if the tactics are right, we can still sink him, they only have one or two Zhiyuan ships, but, Your Excellency, all the deductions we have carried out are around 13 to 18, and two Zhiyuan ships are about equal to six warships, although the quality of the Chinese Navy is not as good as our army, and it is not proficient in the lack of new warships, but considering that it has 2 Zhiyuan ships and 2 first-class warships......"

At the mention of first-class battleships, Akiyama Shinyuki's brows furrowed, those two first-class battleships were Japanese! It was the Chinese Navy that salvaged the Japanese warship, and it was not until the second one was salvaged that the Japanese realized that they had salvaged the warship of the Combined Fleet, although the Ministry of Foreign Affairs protested to China, but at this time, is the protest useful?

"Two Zhenhai and five "Yuan" class are only second-class battleships with 1o-inch naval guns, so in the deduction, although we have severely damaged the Chinese Navy and sunk all the warships except for Zhiyuan and Jingyuan to escape with their high strength, the combined fleet has also suffered heavy losses, among which the biggest threat is Zhiyuan and Jingyuan, and in the whole process of wargame deduction, the Chinese tactic is ......",

Looking up at Heihachiro Togo, Mayuki Akiyama was waiting for his answer.

"Other ships attract firepower, provide cover for Zhiyuan and Jingyuan, and borrow the powerful firepower of the two ships in order to hit or sink them one after another!"

Heihachiro Togo slowly explained the "Chinese army tactics" formulated by a naval staff headquarters on the basis of a thorough analysis of the Chinese navy, which seems to be suspected of "self-harm," but it is similar to the great turn of the enemy in front of Tsushima, and according to deduction, this tactic is undoubtedly the most successful.

"So ......"

Mayuki Akiyama picked up a pencil and drew a circle on the list of warships of the Chinese Navy, looking up at Togo.

"If we want to win without breaking our bones, that's all we can do!"

As he spoke, Akiyama pulled out another chart, and then drew a big "X" on the chart, and looking at the "X" Togo was almost stunned, looking at Akiyama Shinyuki's bloodshot eyes, and it took a while to come back to his senses and say.

"Akiyama, what do you mean ......"
