"Yes, you don't need to ask me about the battlefield west of Xinjiang in the future, you will decide to fight by yourself, as long as the logistics supply can support it, you can fight as far as the Volga River." Emperor Yang said that he was always willing to encourage the enterprising spirit of the front-line generals, and as for whether it would affect his war rhythm, there was no need to consider this, Russia was big, even if the Central Asian Front was open to attack, it would be good if they could cross the Ural River in half a year.

"Your Majesty, shouldn't the next general attack on Vladivostok begin, otherwise once the attack on Australia and New Zealand, South Africa and other places is launched, the navy will inevitably transfer a large number of capital ships, plus the protection of the Indian Ocean shipping route, and the additional fleet to the Caribbean Sea, we will not have a few warships for Vladivostok." Li Yuncong asked.

Duan Qirui's siege of Vladivostok has been going on for several months, and now the perimeter of the first fortress in the Far East has been completely cleared, leaving only the two core fortress groups of Vladivostok and Russky Island. Although the water tank cannon is powerful, the firing range is a little shorter, even if the cannon has been erected outside Vladivostok, but because of the special terrain there, it can only pose a threat to a small part of the city, as for the Russian fortress on the Russian island, they can't reach it at all, and the 155 heavy cannon that can reach is not powerful enough. The same is true for bombers, whose 250-kilogram bombs are no longer capable of defending against fortresses designed to defend against the main guns of battleships, unless heavier ones are used. However, the Thunder made on the basis of the Martin B10 can carry more than one ton of bombs at most, and it is a bit difficult to match a single 500-kilogram bomb, and even the pylons cannot withstand it, and it must be transformed, but after the transformation, it will affect the bomb load, and when Emperor Yang's new heavy bombers are about to enter service, it is a waste to transform them.

Therefore, at present, the most effective weapon is the 380 main gun of the Huaxia-class battleship, and the 800-kilogram heavy bomb is completely a piece of cake against these fortresses. In addition, the 300-kilogram piercing bullets used by the 280 main gun used by the Kunlun-class battleships had no problem with the direct firing effect, so if you want to conquer Vladivostok, the only remaining Allied stronghold in the entire Far East, the best way is to go into battle with both naval and land forces at the same time.

"Yes, in addition, I will send a letter of persuasion to Alikseev first, telling him that if he surrenders now, I can still make him the earl of China, and he and his generals will be rewarded by me." Yang Feng thought for a while and said, fighting a war costs money, and of course you can't miss it if there is a cheaper way.

After receiving Yang Feng's letter of persuasion, there was nothing wrong with Alikseev, although theoretically he was also a member of the Romanov family. However, illegitimate children would not be recognized, so he could not be loyal to the Romanovs, and even though Nikolai had just awarded him the rank of Admiral in recognition of his service to Vladivostok, he was still ready to surrender.

But the problem now is that some of his men are unwilling to surrender.

"Colonel Kolchak, what are you trying to do, do you know that this is a crime, your actions are already a rebellion." He shouted at a young officer in front of him.

"I'm sorry. Your Excellency Marshal, as a soldier, we should first be loyal to our country and to our duty, since you and you are no longer ready to fulfill your duty. Then please take a break here! Colonel Kolchak in front of him saluted somewhat contemptuously and then said to the second lieutenant beside him: "Look at this conference room, no one is allowed to enter or leave, the marshal and the generals can bring their quilts over if they need to rest, and their food and drink will be delivered to the conference room regularly!" ”

Alikseev gathered the main generals for a meeting to determine the time of surrender. The news of a colonel leading soldiers unwilling to surrender in a mutiny and the seizure of all Russian generals, including Alikseev, was soon telegraphed to Emperor Yang by a Swedish merchant in Vladivostok.

"Kolchak, I didn't expect there to be such a figure among the Russians." Emperor Yang said with some emotion.

In fact, this was largely driven by his policy of repatriation. The miserable life of the Russians in the Far East after being sent back to Europe had long been known to the Russians in Vladivostok, so Kolchak's actions were simply echoed, and those Russian soldiers would rather stay in Vladivostok to fight the Chinese than surrender and be sent back to Russia to live a life of hunger and cold. And as the war dragged on, Nikolai had begun to recruit a large number of repatriated Russians to the front, which meant that they would still have to go to the battlefield even if they returned, since it was not the same as staying in Vladivostok like this, at least there were strong fortresses and endless food to eat.

"Since you don't surrender, then you have to ask them to destroy it, and order Duan Qirui and Cheng Biguang to start fighting!" Emperor Yang was only moved by Kolchak's bravery, and then casually gave the order to attack.

Following the order of His Majesty the Emperor, the Huaxia and Yanhuang super battleships, which had returned to the port of Arthur, were dispatched again, and together with the remaining four battleships and six battle cruisers of the Beiyang Fleet, the huge fleet sailed mightily through the Tsushima Strait into the Sea of Japan under the gaze of the Japanese fishermen, and rode the wind and waves among the remaining ice floes to the sea off Vladivostok.

After Alikseev was placed under house arrest, the command of Vladivostok had been completely taken over by Kolchak, because all the junior officers and soldiers, even the armed Russian civilians, supported him, plus they already hated His Excellency the Governor-General, who was greedy for money and weak, led by Colonel Kolchak, who was usually highly respected, Vladivostok was now more stable and more vibrant than before, but when the Chinese fleet appeared, those Russians still couldn't help but be terrified.

Even through the guò telescope, the two super battleships on the sea still gave them a huge impact, they all understand this, with those Kunlun-class battleships accompanying them as a reference, you can see the horror of these two battleships at a glance.

"With a displacement of no less than 35,000 tons and eight 380 main guns, His Majesty the Emperor of Beijing has given the world a surprise, and human science and technology have once again climbed to a new peak!" Colonel Kolchak, who was standing on the lighthouse on Russky Island, sighed and said, of course, the surprise of human technological development would be a complete disaster for them.

"It's just that why did they change the boilers, could it be that these two battleships used steam power?" A cruiser captain beside him said in disbelief as he looked at the towering chimneys of the battleship in the distance.

Although Vladivostok still had four armored cruisers, considering the comparison of strength between the two sides, there was no difference between fighting and committing suicide, so Kolchak simply scuttled them on the shore to supplement the lack of shore fire resistance, but those light cruisers and destroyer torpedo boats were still retained for sneak attacks at sea.

"It's very simple, the diesel engine can no longer provide more powerful power, so the emperor is now using a steam turbine, he has spent more than ten years to go all out to promote his diesel engine to the world, with a variety of means to tell the world that the steam turbine can not meet the greater power requirements, suppress all the development of the steam turbine, while he himself is making more and more powerful steam turbines, this layout has been carried out for more than ten years, and now he has succeeded, there is no need to hide it anymore." Kolchak said with a wry smile.

"Good thing we have enough mines outside!" The captain shrugged and said, as an expert in mine warfare, of course Kolchak will not forget this kind of good thing, the entire Peter the Great Bay has been blocked by mines, with Russky Island as the center, the dense mine belt that extends outward for thirty kilometers is like a wall to block the sea attack out of the range of the battleship's main guns, and any minesweeper that enters the minefield to clear mines will become the target of those long-range cannons on Russky Island.

However, just as the captain had finished speaking, he saw the two huge ships on the sea, with the muzzles of the sixteen main guns shining brightly.

"How is this possible?" He couldn't help but exclaim.

Of course, there is nothing impossible, the main guns of the Huaxia-class battleships have a range of more than 36 kilometers, which is just used to launch an attack outside the minefield, and sixteen 800-kilogram shells roared down from the sky at a large angle nearly a minute later, easily penetrating a fortress in front of the lighthouse in the stunned eyes of the Russians, and then turning the fortress into a pile of ruins from the inside with a terrifying explosion of tens of kilograms of antimony.

At the same time that Huaxia and Yanhuang shelled Russian Island, those super-large caliber heavy artillery also began to roar on the water tank artillery position in the north of Vladivostok, and the one-ton huge shells crossed the mountain peaks in front of them, and one after another fell in Vladivostok City, and then like a giant hammer of the gods, they instantly wiped out the surrounding qiē.

At the same time, the infantry that had been on standby for a long time began to march along the narrow plains of the coast towards Vladivostok, and the Russian troops guarding the fortress, relying on various fortifications, did their best to block their advance, but these fortifications were becoming more and more useless in the face of the infantry, which was armed with a large number of recoilless guns and individual rocket launchers. Especially those individual bazookas, which are actually imitations of Bazooka's 60 rocket launchers, because there are no armored targets worthy of their attack, but they have become the main weapon against the Russian fortresses, especially in the mountains and forests north of Vladivostok, their short whistling is like a demon's grin for the Russian troops hiding in machine gun forts.
