The sun is warm and the sea breeze is light.

As if feeling something, the girl on the gangway stopped with some doubts, turned her neck lightly, and looked forward to her beautiful eyes; When she saw the long figure not far from the pier, her eyes showed a look of surprise, and she let out a meow of joy excitedly. She hula brushed aside the bodyguards in front of her, rushed down the gangway at great speed, and then jumped into the air like a happy cat, and pounced on Qingying's chest.

Seeing the girl rushing towards her in the posture of a human cannon, Qingying leaned slightly at the last moment, and then stretched her long arms, and spun three times in the air with Sonia in her arms, which consumed the huge kinetic energy that the girl was carrying. Feeling the familiar warmth and softness in her arms, Qingying shook her head helplessly, and said, "My Lord Sanya, what do you have to do with this every time...... Such a special way to meet me? Now it's at the docks, not indoors, and you still have to take into account the identity you have as the little eldest princess of the Romanov Dynasty. ”

Sanya rubbed in Qingying's arms, smiling like a flower, immersed in the joy of meeting him on the dock, and threw what he just said directly into her mind. Qingying didn't expect her words to change the girl's nature, but when she saw the girl rubbing her head on the side of his face, her ears were full of her pleasant giggles, so she had to stand still and let her do it. After a while, he pushed the girl's fragrant shoulder away and said, "Sanya, why did you suddenly come to Kiel?" If I hadn't happened to be here today, I wouldn't have known that you had come to Germany. Sonia reluctantly took a breath of his breath and said, "My cousin wants to come to you when I take a vacation." It so happened that General Essen was also going to visit Berlin on behalf of the Russian Empire, so I came with him. With that, she turned to the side, pointed to the side and back, and pouted, "That idiot is Essen, who was just promoted to rear admiral two months ago. During the more than 3 days at sea, he kept telling me to look like a princess, which was really annoying. ”

Nani? Essen?

Qingying was surprised to hear Sanya say the name; He looked in the direction that the girl was pointing, and sure enough, he saw a well-dressed middle-aged man walking unhurriedly towards this side, followed by a group of entourage guards, quite the aura and style of a boss-level character. Although Qingying had only seen a photo of Makarov, an imperial Russian admiral, on the Internet in his previous life, he had no impression of this slowly walking hook-nosed man; But according to Sanya's identification and the unique temperament honed by his long military career, his identity was still determined.

Essen, the admiral of the Mao State, has been prosperous since his debut, and finally climbed to the pinnacle of the rank of admiral in another plane. Although he was completely overshadowed by the famous Makarov in terms of qualifications, fame and talent; However, as one of the few competent generals in the Imperial Russian Navy, Essen's performance during the Russo-Japanese War was absolutely excellent!

Historically, the Russian Pacific Navy was scattered in two military ports, Arthur and Vladivostok, with five battleships and three armored cruisers, each of which Essen was the commander. Unlike the Arthur fleet, which was heavily damaged by a sneak attack at the beginning of the war and did nothing throughout the war, the Vladivostok cruiser under the command of Essen was extremely active; Immediately after the start of the war, the Vladivostok detachment was thrown into battle. Due to the weak strength in his hands, and the fact that the "Rurik", "Russia", and "Grombowie" were all specially built ships for the purpose of breaking up diplomatic relations with Mao Zi in preparation for strangling the British sea transportation lines, Essen wisely chose not to confront the Japanese warships head-on, but to rely on his own advantage of long endurance to carry out a sea guerrilla attack. This kind of evil as a jackal, as vicious as a snake, as poisonous as a scorpion, and as ruthless as a wolf showed great power from the beginning, and made an indelible contribution to Lushun's main force to contain the Japanese fleet and support the land battlefield.

In the six months leading up to the Battle of Ulsan, the Essen fleet attacked Japanese ships sailing off the coast of Korea, the Sea of Japan, and the Pacific Ocean five times, sinking or capturing 24 transports; On June 12, 1904, three Mao cruisers sent the "Hitachi Maru" loaded with a battalion of officers and men to the bottom of the sea at the door of the Japanese. The second battle not only caused 1,063 Japanese officers and soldiers to be killed, but also the 18 heavy siege guns loaded on the transport ship were also lost; The loss of heavy artillery forced the Japanese siege of Arthur to be postponed. Although the Japanese formed the 3rd Fleet immediately after the start of the war, and later deployed the more powerful 2nd Fleet to search and intercept, it still failed to stop the Essen fleet from plundering and plundering. After the "Hitachi Maru" incident, the house of Uemura, the commander of the Japanese Second Sentai Brigade, was smashed to pieces by angry people, and some people even sent him a sharp knife to commit suicide. For a time, all areas along the coast of Japan were full of troops and rumors, and the maritime throughput shrank sharply, and Essen's strategy of breaking diplomatic relations achieved a preliminary victory.

Originally, the Essen fleet could have continued to coquettish, but a telegram from the Russian high command completely deprived him of this opportunity. As the Japanese siege of Fort Arthur became more and more intense, in order to avoid the burning of the precious fleet trapped in the harbor, the Russian High Command decided to let the Pacific Fleet in Arthur break through the blockade line set up by the Japanese fleet outside the port, break through the encirclement and sail to Vladivostok. In order to ensure that the Lushun fleet could successfully break through this time, the command ordered Essen's patrol fleet to cross the Tsushima Strait and move south to meet the friendly forces of Lushun. This telegram demanded his own life.

Although the Tsushima Strait was still very wide, it was only a small trench compared to the vast ocean, and the Japanese fleet could have set up an ambush here to intercept the Essen fleet that had come to meet it. And the 3 cruisers in Essen's hands are fighters in the garbage, the only thing worthy of praise is the range, and the other performance is far from the British patrol in the Japanese Navy! When the Russian Arthur fleet broke through, the commander of the Japanese Combined Fleet, Togo Heihachiro, keenly judged that the Russian Vladivostok fleet might go south to meet it, and deployed heavy troops in the Tsushima Strait in advance. What happened after that was obvious was obvious, as soon as the Essen fleet crossed the Tsushima Strait, it was copied by the Japanese patrol fleet; One of the three large-scale cruisers, the "Rurik", was sunk, and the other two ships fought desperately and bloodily before they were lucky enough to escape the encirclement. Due to the heavy damage in the battle, the Essen fleet was no longer in a position to attack, and the Japanese navy finally got its wish and completely mastered the sea supremacy in the Far East.

During the Russo-Japanese War, the sea control of the Sea of Japan and the Yellow Sea was firmly occupied by the Japanese Navy, and all the 13 battleships that Maozi successively invested were sunk in the sea; Only the cruiser fleet commanded by Essen fought quite well, posing a considerable threat to Japan's maritime shipping. Although Germany and Russia will eventually become enemies, Qingying still admires the achievements of this guy in his heart; When I saw the real person at this moment, I couldn't help but smile a little bit on my face.

"Stupid Etel, people want it. I want it today, I want to ...... it soon" Qing Ying was looking at the general of Mao who was walking slowly, and suddenly there was a very sweet murmur in his ears. He turned his head in astonishment, only to see Sanya raise her delicate and pretty plain face, her peach cheeks flushed and her watery eyes camouflaged; The pink and ruddy little tongue gently licked the fragrant lips and teeth, adding endless temptation to this alluring girl. "It's been more than two months since Christmas, and it's so lonely to be alone in Petersburg...... Originally, they planned to meet you in Berlin tomorrow, but God sent you to the people today, so the stupid Etel would never be allowed to refuse this order from Sonya, well. ”

The warm fragrance and warm jade are full of arms, and the soft words beg to be moist like an orchid. Being so teased by this stunning girl with a sweet and soft voice, Rao is Qingying did not intend to do so, but his body, which was at the age of blood and qi, did not give face at all, and made the most honest reaction under the temptation of Sonya's body. Speaking of which, because he and this girl are thousands of miles apart, they spend less than half a month together every year; So it's only natural that you can't wait to do that kind of thing after you meet, right?

Thinking of the extreme pleasure that this girl had given him before, it was like floating in a dream and wandering in the clouds, Qingying's heart was hot, and he had already made up his mind, he stroked the girl's beautiful long hair that was as smooth as satin, and said softly: "There is a royal train in Kierny Harbor, and everything in it, including the bed, is available in order to facilitate long-distance travel. When I send this general, we'll just go there. Sanya smiled, wrapped her arms around his neck, and whispered, "This time, people are going to be on top." ”

Qingying patted her mantis head and pushed the girl out of her arms; Look up. Essen, who was tall and thin, walked with thick steps and had already walked in front of him. He smiled lightly and stretched out his right hand, shook it with the other party's big hand, and said, "Welcome guests from the Russian Empire to Germany." Our Ettel? Feng? Hohenzollern, usurping the position of Crown Prince of the German Empire, must be General Essen, right? ”

Looking at the handsome and upright foreign boy in front of him, thinking of his behavior all these years ago, a flash of lightning suddenly flashed in Essen's heart. With a look of surprise in his eyes, he said, "Your Royal Highness, Rear Admiral Essen of the Imperial Russian Navy salutes you. Our visit is to enhance the friendship between the navies of the two countries, and it is really our greatest luck to meet His Royal Highness in the port today! If Your Highness has any time to spare, I would like to have an in-depth discussion with Your Highness on the issue of cooperation between the two navies. ”

"What?!" Before Qingying could answer, Sanya next to her suddenly jumped up as if she had been stung by a bee. Just kidding, I endured it for more than two months, and now I finally got the opportunity to go to Wushan with my lover, how could I allow others to ruin this Spring Festival moment?

Seeing Sonya fluffy like a Persian cat, staring at herself with hatred and anger, Ethan instantly understood everything and couldn't help but cry out badly. This girl and the German crown prince are separated, gathering less and leaving more, and it must be dry wood and fire when they meet, isn't it a good thing for her to do this by herself? I was worried about myself, but I heard the young man in front of me say in Russian, which he was not proficient in: "I don't hide it, I happen to have a lot of words to communicate with you; Then General Essen, please come to the Inner Harbour Meeting Room to discuss. ”

"What?!" Sonia screamed again, her eyes wide open, and her pretty face was full of disbelief and annoyance. Seeing this scene, Qingying smiled bitterly, turned her head and spread her hands and said, "I'm sorry Sanya, I'll come back to accompany you in 2 hours, I have work to do now." ”

Qingying was actively teased by Sonia just now, and her hormones were in her head, and she just wanted to deal with the guy in front of her quickly; However, Essen's words instantly brought his mind back to the normal track.

If nothing else, there are still four years before the Russo-Japanese War will begin with Japan's undeclared war. Although Qingying still does not understand the exact purpose of Essen's trip, one thing is certain, that is, it must be related to the Russian Navy! And this guy happened to be the commander of the Vladivostok fleet, in charge of the only patrol fleet that could put a rope around the Japanese neck in the war; If Japan wants to pay a heavier price in the process of defeating Russia, this guy is the most critical breakthrough. Now that Essen has actually come to the door, Qingying is not taking precautions at this time, but when?

Seeing that the girl's anger was still unabated, Qingying couldn't help but lower her voice and whispered a few words in her ear in German; After a few moments, Sanya finally nodded reluctantly. Looking at the backs of the two of them gradually moving away, she stomped her feet hatefully, and followed with reluctance.
