"Now, Shuangchengzi has been lost, and the 30,000 troops stationed in Shuangchengzi have been completely annihilated. Two days later, Vladivostok will face a siege of more than 100,000 squadrons. Is the army ready to respond to the Chinese attack? Far Eastern Governor Aleksayev asked.

"Your Excellency the Governor, please rest assured that Vladivostok is not a twin city, and if the Chinese want to conquer Vladivostok, it is absolutely impossible. Even if they have the advantage of forces, we have impregnable fortresses and fortresses. We will definitely let the Chinese dry their blood in Vladivostok! Lieutenant General Vasily, the commander of the Russian army guarding Vladivostok, said confidently.

"The fortress of Shuangchengzi was completely destroyed by the Chinese artillery fire. Can the fortress of Vladivostok withstand it? Governor Aleksayev said with some concern.

"Your Excellency the Governor, rest assured, the fortress of Vladivostok is not comparable to the fortress of the Twin Cities. Most of the fortresses in Vladivostok were more than 450 mm thick, made of reinforced concrete, and steel plates of 100 to 200 mm were added in the middle, which was enough to defend against the bombardment of Chinese heavy artillery. Unless they use heavy artillery of more than 00 mm caliber, don't think about destroying our fortresses! However, the coastal defense forces of the navy, be careful, when the Chinese attack Vladivostok, they will definitely send a fleet! Vasily said.

Far Eastern Governor Aleksayev turned his head to Rear Admiral Vizofort, commander of the Russian Pacific Fleet, and then asked: "Admiral Vizofut." Can the navy withstand the attack of the Chinese? ”

"Your Excellency, all I can say is that the Navy will do its best. As for whether it can withstand the attack of the Chinese Navy, only God knows! Rear Admiral Vizofort said helplessly. The Pacific Fleet of the Russian Navy seems to be powerful, but its real combat power is far from being comparable to that of the Chinese Navy, and the Chinese Navy only needs to send a detachment to destroy the Russian Pacific Fleet. The Russian Pacific Fleet numbered tens of thousands of men, in addition to the navy's sailors. There are also several thousand coastal defense units, guarding several fortresses in the port of Vladivostok.

Alekseev nodded, and although he was not satisfied with Rear Admiral Vizofert's answer, he also knew that Rear Admiral Vizofort was telling the truth. The Chinese Navy is capable of annihilating even the Far East Fleet of the British Navy, not to mention the Pacific Fleet of the Russian Navy.

"General Wizofutte, since the Navy is not sure to defeat the Chinese, then, the battleships of the Navy. Why don't you stay in the harbor and make a floating battery! If necessary, you can also support the army in the battle in the north! Governor Alekseev said.

"Your Excellency the Governor. I cannot accept this order, for the honor of the Russian Navy, once the Chinese Navy attacks, the Pacific Fleet will fight to the death with the enemy, instead of staying in the harbor and letting the enemy go unchecked! Rear Admiral Wizofort flatly refused.

"Okay, then so be it!" Governor Alekseev said coldly. Since Wizofort was going to find his own death, it was no wonder that he was. Although he was the governor of the Far East, he was in charge of the military and political affairs of the Far East. But the navy is a relatively opposing branch of the armed forces, directly under the command of Moscow. In addition, as for the few broken ships of the Pacific Fleet, he has not yet paid attention to them. Vizofort wanted to find death, and he didn't bother to persuade him.

"Your Excellency Victor, Vladivostok must remain steady during the war. Other than that. The citizens of Vladivostok must be ready to support the army at any time. Alekseev said. Victor, is the mayor of Vladivostok, now Vladivostok. The population has reached 200,000. Almost the entire Far East of the Russian population is concentrated here.

"Your Excellency the Governor, please rest assured that the city of Vladivostok has gathered 20,000 men and can take on the heavy responsibility of transporting supplies and wounded for the troops!" Victor replied with a smile on his face. Now Vladivostok has enough food and other supplies for all people in Vladivostok to live for a year, and even if Vladivostok is besieged, there will be no problems. As the mayor of Vladivostok, he also knows how perverted Vladivostok's defense is, and has great confidence in defending Vladivostok.

"That's good, if we are united, we will be able to defend Vladivostok. When we achieve the final victory, everyone will be heroes, and His Majesty the Tsar will definitely reward us well when the time comes! Alekseev said with a smile.

Everyone was beaming, thinking that they were already foolproof.

In Beijing, China, Zhang Cheng, Minister of the Admiralty, Minister of the Navy, and Deng Shichang, commander of the Home Fleet, are also making arrangements for the next war. At present, the main force of the local fleet is basically still repairing in the shipyard, especially a few heavy cruisers that have been severely damaged, I am afraid that they will have to stay in the shipyard for two or three months. In addition, almost all capital ships also need to replace the main guns. After two fierce naval battles, the main guns are almost about to break out, and although they can continue to be used now, they will undoubtedly suffer greatly in terms of accuracy, and besides, the navy will face a vicious battle next, and the ships must be raised to the highest level.

"Commander Deng, the four 'Qin-class' battleships will be able to join the fleet at the beginning of next month. The fleet needs to adapt as best it can in order to bring out its best power in the next naval battle! "Navy Minister Zhang Cheng said. ' The Qin-class battleships, which are more powerful than the 'Zhonghua-class' battleships, have become the killer weapon of the Chinese Navy against the British Navy.

"Hmmm! The fleet is ready to receive it, and after the sea trials are completed, it can join the fleet. By the way, are there any plans for the capital ships of the new class? Deng Shichang asked. The battleships of the Chinese Navy are stronger than the first, and the 'Qin-class' battleships are already so strong, so what about the capital ships of the new class? How powerful will it be? Deng Shichang is looking forward to it.

"I'm afraid it will take two years for the capital ship of the new class to be able to enter service." After the Qin-class battleships were put into service, the main forces began to concentrate on the construction of the Baiqi-class battlecruisers. Moreover, the design of the capital ship of the new class has not yet been completed, and it is said that His Majesty is not very satisfied. Therefore, if the capital ships of the new class are to be installed, I am afraid that they will have to wait until 90 or even 904. Zhang Cheng said.

"I'm afraid it's Your Majesty's requirements are too high!" Deng Shichang said.

"It is true, but I have to admit that the height of the problem is much farther than ours. His Majesty requested that the battleships of the new class should have a displacement of more than 28,000 tons, and the guns they carried should be triple 05 mm guns, so that the number of guns would be one more than that of the 'Qin-class' battleships. At the same time, the layout of the first two and the last one is also more reasonable. It's just that the Navy Arsenal has not yet solved the problem of the accuracy of the triple main gun. The accuracy of the trial-made artillery is too poor. However, it is expected that the results will be achieved in the next year or two! In terms of the speed of the battleship, His Majesty required that the speed be increased to at least 2 knots, which was 4 knots higher than the current 'Qin-class' battleships, and even higher than the 'Baiqi-class' battlecruisers under construction. Battleship designers are trying to figure out how to solve these problems. Zhang Cheng shook his head and said. Battleships are the crystallization of a country's industry, and a powerful battleship is the embodiment of industrial strength. The performance requirements of the new class of battleships proposed by Wang Yuze are already somewhat ahead of their time, and China's industrial strength is still somewhat unattainable. For example, in terms of naval artillery, Wang Yuze's request for the design of triple naval guns and larger-caliber naval guns has not yet been successful. In terms of power, the newer steam turbine is still being designed, and it will take a long time to put it into use.

Of course, when Zhang Cheng and them came, Wang Yuze's requirements were too difficult for the strong. The reason why a battleship is a battleship is that it has strong firepower and defense, how can it be higher than the battlecruiser in speed?

Although the battlecruiser has the advantage of high speed and powerful firepower, it is still difficult to confront it when facing the battleship. This was demonstrated in the Sino-Japanese Naval Battle in the Pacific and the Sino-British Naval Battle in the Pacific. And Wang Yuze's purpose in building battle cruisers on a large scale was just to hope that Western countries would follow suit. At that time, a large number of battlecruisers were built in various countries, and when facing China's high-speed battleships, there was only a dead end.

"Okay, let's not talk about the new battleship, His Majesty has its own arrangements. In two to three days, the Army will launch an offensive on Vladivostok, and our Navy will be responsible for destroying the Russian Pacific Fleet and destroying the seaside fortresses in Vladivostok. If possible, marines will also be sent to land directly in the harbor. Fleet-wise, get ready! Navy Minister Zhang Cheng said.

"The detachment led by Chief of Staff Li Haitao was already stationed in the North Korean port of Busan yesterday for replenishment, and it will be ready to leave tomorrow morning. With the strength of two battleships and three heavy cruisers of the detachment, it was enough to defeat the Pacific Fleet of the Russian army. Deng Shichang said.

"Has the task of the detachment in Japan been accomplished?" Zhang Cheng asked. For the past few days, the detachment had been raging along the coast of Japan. Many of Japan's coastal cities are in ruins, and a large number of industrial facilities have been destroyed. All the merchant ships it encountered were captured or sunk, and the fishing boats were also sunk, causing heavy losses to Japan.

"Japan's southern Honshu, Shikoku, and Kyushu have almost been cleared, leaving the northern and western parts of Honshu, and it is not too late to clean them up after the Russian Pacific Fleet has been wiped out. With a large number of destroyers in service, now we have twenty destroyers deployed in the waters around Japan, which are specially designed to blockade Japan. However, there are still many loopholes. Deng Shichang said.

"The Admiralty already has plans for an additional thirty destroyers. At the same time, we will be refitting some armed merchant ships to join the blockade of Japan! Zhang Cheng said.
