Although to this day, there are still many controversies in China and the West about radio, whether it was invented by the Radio Research Laboratory of Northeastern University in 1894 or Marconi in 1895. However, it is undeniable that since July 1894, when the Navy purchased the first radio stations, the Northeast Navy has always had the most advanced radio stations in the world, and although the Navy could establish high-power radio stations in Hawaii and could communicate with the mainland, in 1902, it was extremely difficult to communicate with the mainland on Wollaston Island, which was at least 20,000 kilometers away from the mainland.

Now, looking at the hundreds of search ships sent by the Navy ******after the requisition, the search lines formed by them in the Pacific Ocean and the Atlantic Ocean are actually radio relay stations, and it is precisely because of the existence of these wireless telegraph relay stations that the mainland can know everything ahead in the shortest possible time! ”

The Battle of Drake

On the top of the hill on the outskirts of Dalian, several towering iron towers often stand out, here is the Navy's wireless telegraphy center, for many years, through the high-power transceiver here, the Admiralty can issue orders to the fleet sailing on the sea, receiving telegrams thousands of nautical miles or even tens of thousands of nautical miles away, of course, in the vast majority of the time, its farthest contact object is the Hawaiian detachment, and it is precisely because of the existence of high-power radio towers that over the years, the US Navy's many "adventurous attempts" have been successfully blocked. That's why. Years. How to establish a global radio advisory network has always been the Navy's ambition, but of course, it is now the Navy's priority to maintain communication between the fleets far away at Cape Horn, and the radio waves from there have been reinforced by many relays before being transmitted here.

After the fishing boat "Yuanyu 163" spotted the lights of the Russian fleet. A telegram was immediately sent, which was sent tens of nautical miles east of the island and then relayed several times over a distance of tens of thousands of kilometers before finally being received by a telegraph station in Hawaii and sent to the mainland.

The telegram sent by the search ship "Yuanzhu 163" was immediately translated into code as soon as it was received by the Dalian Admiralty Wireless Telegraph Center, and after repeated confirmation, it was more than half an hour later. In just one second, the telegram was delivered to the Admiralty building through a special vacuum postal courier pipe underground. At the same time, motorcyclists on side-fighting motorcycles drove quickly in the direction of the city to deliver a confidential telegram to the Governor's Palace, and after the confidential telegram was sent to the Admiralty through a special pipeline, the telegram marked "Urgent, Top Secret" was immediately sent up in layers, and finally to a Navy Colonel in the Admiralty's war room.

At this moment, the hour hand is at 4:35 a.m., and the date on the calendar is September 27, 4600. It took only half an hour for the Admiralty of the Northeast Navy to receive a telegram from tens of thousands of kilometers away, and the difference between receiving the telegram and the Zhenyang Fleet Headquarters was only 20 minutes.

Everything is as fast and precise as countless tests in the past,

"At 4 a.m., enemy ships were spotted, and the location of the enemy ships was found at 54 degrees 16 minutes south latitude and 64 degrees 42 minutes west longitude, and the Second Pacific Fleet must have been heading for the Le Maire Strait."

The contents of the telegram were immediately read by the colonel, and as he read the words, the midshipman on the side quickly placed the model of the Russian Second Pacific Fleet in the center of the war room, the huge map of the sea area near the burning island, while everyone was staring at the chart of the Le Maire Strait, and the officers gathered around the chart would be talking to each other.

"Well, there are no problems with the course of the Second Pacific Fleet now......"

A staff officer said, pointing to the chart.

"After today, it will disappear into the iceberg of this area."

This is an extremely conceited statement, especially those "military advisers" of Japanese descent who did not wear military ranks, because they were not naturalized in China, they could only participate in this unprecedented sea battle as advisers, at this time, all of them, even some regrets, maybe they should be naturalized as Chinese, so as not to miss this sea battle, of course, they are more jealous of Li Weizhong's luck, after this battle, he may even become the most outstanding admiral after Nelson.

"That guy from the Choshu Domain, he's really lucky......"

I don't know who muttered quietly, but immediately suffered from the stern gaze of others, the old Japanese navy was all from the Satsuma Domain, and Li Weizhong, who was born in the Changzhou Domain, was naturally suppressed in every way. Just as most of the high-ranking generals of the Beiyang Navy are now from Fujian, although Li Hongzhang tried to change all this through measures such as the establishment of the Tianjin Naval Academy, the situation of Fujian's dominance has not changed.

In contrast, only the Northeast Navy can do meritocracy regardless of origin, region, not to mention others, its appointment of Li Weizhong alone is enough to prove this, and it is precisely for this reason that many Japanese exiled in China are willing to naturalize in Northeast China as Chinese, and even in their mouths, Northeast China at this time is on a par with the Tang Dynasty in history, after all, in Chinese history, only the Tang Dynasty can be comparable to it in treating foreign officials.

A few minutes later, another telegram was delivered to the naval war room, which was packed with senior admirals,

"The speed of the Russian naval fleet is 5.5 knots! The course has been set, it's the Le Maire Strait! ”

Le Maire Strait!

At this time, this strait full of Xiaoice mountains under the toes of South America attracted everyone's attention, and everyone knew very well that it was now the final moment for the Zhenyang fleet.

After receiving the telegram, Yung Shangqian turned to the side of Shimamura Suo, a naval adviser who had been trusted for many years but had never been naturalized.

"It seems that this time Rogerst Winsky is really hard to fly!"

Section 5.5, which passes from the Strait of Le Maire, begins at Le Maire. For this day, the "Zhenyang Fleet", which has been painstakingly planning for several years, has already prepared an unprecedented "feast" for the Russian Navy. As for what happens after the feast. Everyone already knows it.

Compared to the tension on the front line, in the Navy's high command, it seems extremely calm, although they all know that this is the first battle of the Northeast Navy, but on the other hand, they are very confident in the strength they have, because the strength of the Northeast Navy is much better than that of the Russian Navy, and naval battles are different from land battles. Although the navy is also full of too many accidents, but the navy is a technical branch, only the technological leadership can win, as for the so-called tonnage, it may have a certain significance, but when the technological disparity is great, the tonnage will become a joke.

"Then it seems that the marshal needs to think about how to end this war!"

After a moment of silence, Shimamura Suo raised his head, looked at Rong Shangqian and said.

"It's time to start preparing for a landing operation in Japan!"

As a Japanese, albeit in exile in China. But for Shimamura, what he longed for was Japan's independence. Although he knew that this independence might come at a cost, he still wanted the future of Japan to be independent, not as a province of China, like Korea.

In fact, among the hundreds of thousands of Japanese living in exile in China, there has been a great divide, and more than seventy percent of them have long been naturalized as Chinese, and there are many well-known people, who, while naturalizing Chinese, also advocate "East Asian unity" and "the same language and the same species" have long been accepted by the Japanese, but "East Asian integration" has always been resisted by Shimamura and many Japanese people, and compared with one province in China, they certainly support independence.

Even if it is the kind of independence that is under the guidance of China, and even if Japan is a subject country to some extent, like Australia and Britain, but an independent Japan is better than Japan as a province.

When Shimamura Suo mentioned the landing operation in Japan, Yung Shangqian only responded softly.

"The stakes are high, it's not up to you and me to decide."

As early as a few years ago, the navy had drawn up a plan for landing operations in Japan, but Rong Shangqian knew very well that the marshal had no interest in this, and he was more inclined to "cede the Viceroyalty of Nicholas" to Russia in future peace talks than to send troops to liberate Japan, which could legitimize China's occupation of Japan in the future, or legitimize its annexation, and if it was liberated, it was very likely to cause a misunderstanding.

Of course, more importantly, the Army does not have enough strength to devote to that battlefield right now.

Shimamura Suo nodded hurriedly and said.

"Then Your Excellency should immediately submit this report, after all, it will be impossible for Russia to threaten us anymore."

Anyone knows that once the Russian Second Pacific Fleet is defeated, it means that the Northeast Navy will have its hands free to "solve" Japan's problems. Japan's liberation and freedom are also at hand, after all, there are less than 100,000 Russian troops in Japan, well, there are about 200,000 so-called "security forces", that is, conscripted Japanese troops, in the past many years, it is those "Japanese traitors" who are willing to be driven by the Russians, suppressing Japanese uprisings again and again.

"Well, it's time to report ......"

Rong Shangqian nodded, but he knew very well in his heart what kind of answer this suggestion would get from the marshal. Almost the whole world understands that the Sino-Russian war, whether it is China or Russia, has already paid a heavy price in the war, this war will eventually exhaust the financial and material resources of the two countries, compared to the "landing on Japan" that cannot determine the outcome of the war, the army is probably more inclined to attack to the west, only in this way, can Russia be forced to come to the negotiating table, as for Japan and the Philippines, I am afraid that the marshal is more inclined to get the "winner's reward" through the war.

Of course, there may be a landing operation in the Philippines, that is, to prevent Britain and other countries from preventing China from getting involved in it, not to liberate the Philippines, compared to Japan, which has never been a part of the Chinese civilization circle as a province incorporated into China, it is obviously impossible for the Philippines, which has never been a part of the Chinese civilization, to become a part of China, and it will be a colony of China, the only colony of China.

Behind every war, there are problems of one kind or another, and many political issues are not what Rong Shangqian, as a soldier, needs to consider, of course, many confidential affairs are also not something he can tell Shimamura Suo, after all, he is only a "half-Chinese".

"Shimamura, do you think we can win?"

When the two left the war room, Rong Shangqian suddenly asked Shimamura Suo next to him, because the chief of staff of the Navy was in the fleet, so, at this time, Shimamura became the chief of staff beside him, in fact, in the past many years, Shimamura and his colleagues did play the role of staff officers, although it was just a question, but this question could not be simpler, and the answer was long thought to be recognized by everyone.

"Then it depends on whether the Russians cooperate with us, in terms of strength alone, our strength has an absolute advantage over the Russian Navy, of course, in terms of tonnage, we have no advantage, but now the tonnage really does not have much practical significance, the advantage in firepower and ammunition is enough to make up for this gap......"

"Hey, if the Russians disperse by then, then we will be in big trouble!"

With a wry smile, Rong Shangqian looked at this long corridor with a light sigh, not only will it be a big trouble at that time, and even the entire Pacific Ocean may become a battlefield, and at that time, the Navy will probably have a headache to search for and intercept Russian warships in the vast ocean, which is undoubtedly a disaster for the Northeast Navy.

More importantly, the navy needs a perfect victory, adding a heavy stroke to Russia's defeat, a complete victory will help break Russia's will, will help China win the war, and of course, more importantly, it will create opportunities for diplomatic intervention by the great powers, and in the case of the defeat of the Russian navy, international mediation will inevitably follow, even the United States, which is hostile to China, will not be happy to see Russia lose the last bit of possessions.

But if it fails to inflict heavy damage on the main forces of the Russian Navy, or even cause its main forces to enter the Pacific Ocean, then this naval battle may even become a joke, a naval joke, fueled by some Westerners.

When the time comes, the whole world will laugh at the incompetence of the Northeast Navy!

The reputational damage is secondary, and more importantly, perhaps the entire plan needs to be changed, and the responsibility for strategic mistakes is not something he can bear.

"Shouldn't we ask about the situation there?"

But this thought was only a flash in Rong Shangqian's mind, because he knew better than anyone that he could not intervene in the decision-making of the commander of the Zhenyang Fleet, and the marshal had not intervened, so how could he interfere?

Hope all the best!

Thinking like this in his heart, Rong Shangqian's pace sped up a lot at the same time......
