Chen Hao was originally going to let the Russian fleet train for a while longer, and he admitted it even if he lost some stockpile shells for this reason, but the Russians were in a hurry. The Russian Army was losing ground in the Northeast Theater, and the Russians were anxious to achieve victory at sea and cut off the supply of the Japanese Army.

At the urging of Rozdvinsky, the Second and Third Pacific Fleets set off, accompanied by Chen Hao's Cam Ranh Bay Fleet. Chen Hao left all the destroyers in Cam Ranh Bay for offshore defense, and he led two battleships, two battlecruisers, and seven armored cruisers into battle.

"Player Chen Baxian, Russian Vice Admiral Rozdvinsky appointed you as the commander of the Inhuman Detachment of the Second Pacific Fleet, do you choose to accept it?"

Before leaving, Chen Hao received a system prompt, and he didn't feel strange at all, this was expected. He only took battleships and cruisers, leaving the destroyers for defense because of the large number of destroyers and small cruisers escorted by Russian players. After the Cam Ranh Bay fleet and the Russian player fleet converged, although it was not as good as the NPC fleet in terms of the number of battleships, its actual combat effectiveness was no weaker than the NPC fleet.

On May 23, the fleet sailed out of Cam Ranh Bay, and the commander of the Second Squadron of the Second Pacific Fleet of the Russian Second Pacific Fleet, Rear Admiral Fogker Hill, fell ill and died. The Japanese fleet under the command of Heihachiro Togo has been training for half a year, and it is waiting for the Russian army, and if the player does not play a decisive role, the Russian fleet will become a tragedy as it has been in history.

Because Port Arthur had fallen into Japanese hands, the Russian fleet could only sail to Vladivostok, and there were two routes to Vladivostok: one was to enter the Sea of Japan through the Tsushima Strait, and the other was to enter the Sea of Japan from near Hokkaido via the Soya or Kamatsu Straits. Historically, Heihachiro Togo judged that Rozdvinsky would definitely pass through the Tsushima Strait, so he concentrated the combined fleet on the Tsushima Islands and the bay of the Korean town.

After the departure of the fleet, Arshavin and other Russian players made efforts. Attempts were made to persuade Rozdvinsky to enter the Sea of Japan from Hokkaido instead, and the fleet did not pass through Tsushima. It's a pity that Rozdvensky insisted that taking the Tsushima Strait was the best route and rejected the proposal of Arshavin and others, which made Arshavin and others depressed.

The Japanese NPC fleet decided that the Russian fleet would go through the Tsushima Strait, which every player knows, but the Russian NPC does not. If you can convince Rozdvinsky to change his mind. If the Japanese NPCs make a mistake in their judgment, the Second Pacific Fleet will be able to successfully go north to Vladivostok to join the First Fleet, and the whole history will be changed.

After Arshavin failed, he found Chen Hao and said: "Mr. Chen, we failed to persuade His Excellency the Commander to change the route, you have the strength in your hand that he has to pay attention to, why don't you come forward to persuade him?" If we don't go through Tsushima, our country can easily win the war with the Japanese, and you don't have to take any risks......"

Chen Hao smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Arshavin, I knew from the time you went to persuade Rozdvensky that it was impossible to succeed. If you can easily change the story mission with a three-inch incorruptible tongue, you are underestimating the system. Even if I had come forward to get Rozdvinsky to agree, most likely when he sent a telegram back home, your Admiralty would have ordered him to pass through Tsushima. ”

Arshavin sighed, he also figured out the key, whether there is too much history related to Tsushima, of course, the system will not easily let NPCs change their decisions. Knowing that he couldn't persuade Rozdvensky, Arshavin muttered, "Mr. Chen. How do you think we should fight this battle? ”

Chen Hao said lightly: "I think it's useless to fight, it's your country's NPC Vice Admiral who commands the fleet." ”

Arshavin smiled: "Mr. Chen is modest. You've earned command of the player's fleet, so even if the NPC fleet loses as it did historically, you'll have to find a way to command the player's fleet to change the outcome, right? ”

Chen Hao shook his head and said: "My fleet is almost all NPC officers and soldiers, and my navy is not proficient, and the commander attribute is also insufficient, so there are other people who command the naval battle." I have a good NPC naval commander under me. I asked him to draw up a battle plan, but he said that he would adapt to the situation and give orders according to the situation when the battle began. ”

"Oh?" Arshavin said with interest: "I wonder if Mr. Chen can introduce this NPC naval commander to me?" ”

Chen Hao quickly called Chen Shaokuan over, Chen Shaokuan is not yet sixteen years old, and he is still a minor. At a young age, he became the deputy commander of the Cam Ranh Bay Fleet. Chen Shaokuan's Yali is very large, so he studies very hard. In the year he served as deputy commander, his basic attributes have improved by leaps and bounds, and his naval mastery has become A.

Arshavin was very surprised when he saw Chen Shaokuan, he frowned and said, "Mr. Chen, are you joking with me?" Don't tell me it's your NPC kid who commands the player's fleet. ”

Chen Hao smiled and said, "That's right! He was the deputy commander of the Navy of the Cam Ranh Bay Fleet, and the battle would be commanded by him. ”

Arshavin's face changed and said: "All your main warships have participated in this battle, if it fails, all of our warships will be finished, I hope you can be serious." ”

Chen Hao said lightly: "I'm very serious, I have the most warships in the player's fleet, and they are also the most valuable, so I definitely won't joke about my own warships." Arshavin, in the game, it is not the age that determines the ability of NPC commanders, but their commander attributes are very proficient. ”

Arshavin shook his head and said, "This NPC of yours is only sixteen or seventeen years old, how high can his basic attribute be?" ”

Chen Hao laughed and said: "It's not high, his commander attribute is 76 points, and his naval mastery is A-level, which should be a little higher than the commander of your country, Vice Admiral Rozdvinsky." ”

Arshavin was shocked, the one who can reach the A level of a certain military branch in the game is definitely a well-known person, and the commander of the navy above 70 can indeed serve as the commander of the fleet. It's just that this Huaxia NPC is so young, how can it have such attributes? Just when he was suspicious, Chen Hao opened Chen Shaokuan's attribute panel, and Chen Shaokuan's commander attribute appeared in front of him.

Arshavin was silent for a moment and then exclaimed: "Minors have the attributes to become the commander of the naval fleet, and this subordinate of yours should be a famous admiral in the game!" ”

Chen Hao said with a smile: "There is indeed some fame in history, and he will become the chief of our navy in the next few decades, which is equivalent to the minister of the navy of your country!" Dear Russian friends, I insist that this subordinate of mine command the player's fleet, do you have no opinion? ”

"No, no!" Arshavin and others have supported Chen Shaokuan to be in charge of commanding the fleet, and a future country's naval minister will command the fleet to fight, and the chances of winning will be much greater.

Chen Hao currently does not have the attribute of commanding the navy, so this battle can only be commanded by Chen Shaokuan, he is afraid that Chen Shaokuan's young age will cause the Russian players to be dissatisfied, so he deliberately shows off Chen Shaokuan's attributes. It is always the data that determines the ability of the game, and after reading Chen Shaokuan's data, I believe that they will obey the command.

On May 25, a supply ship flying the Russian flag sailed into Shanghai, and the Japanese Navy decided that the Russian fleet must be in the nearby waters, so it stepped up preparations for war. Heihachiro Togo sent four armed merchant ships and two old cruisers to reconnoiter in the East China Sea, and although Rozdvinsky ordered the implementation of light control, the hospital ship was brilliantly lit, and on May 27, the Japanese armed merchant ship Shinano Maru discovered a medical ship in the Russian fleet.

After Chen Shaokuan took over the command of the fleet, he divided all the warships of the player fleet into four teams. The first squadron was personally commanded by him, and its flagship was the battleship Emperor Wu of Han, as well as ten cruisers of the Cam Ranh Bay Fleet and ten Russian destroyers. The Second Fleet was commanded by Liu Mazi and the flagship battleship Qin Shi Huang, which included four Russian cruisers and six destroyers; The flagship of the Third Sentai was the battlecruiser Zhao Yun, with seven Cam Ranh Bay fleet cruisers and five destroyers; The flagship of the 4th Sentai was the battlecruiser Ma Chao, along with eight Russian cruisers and five destroyers.

The third squadron was a cruiser formation, almost all fast cruisers and destroyers, responsible for reconnaissance and pursuit operations. After the fleet approached the Sea of Japan, Chen Shaokuan sent the third team to reconnoitre, and the battlecruiser Zhao Yun discovered it when the Japanese merchant ships appeared. The battlecruiser Zhao Yun immediately began to chase, and it didn't take long to meet the main fleet of Japanese players.

Historically, Japanese merchant ships discovered the Russian fleet, and the Japanese made preparations in advance and took the Russians by surprise from the northeast. Due to the player's participation in this battle in the game, Fujiwara Aida, the commander of the Japanese player's fleet, judged that the Russian player would definitely send reconnaissance ships against the armed merchant ships, so he led the player's main fleet to hide near the armed merchant ships.

The Japanese dispatched twelve cruisers and sixteen destroyers, and the battle cruiser Zhao Yun was accompanied only by the armored cruiser Sun Wu, the armored cruiser Wu Qi, and four destroyers. The difference in strength between the two sides was too great, and after discovering that the Japanese player fleet appeared, Zhao Wenxi, the naval NPC in charge of commanding the third team, immediately ordered a retreat.

Zhao Wenxi's commander attribute is exactly sixty points, and he can barely command a detachment, and Chen Hao's subordinates lack talents and can only choose the tallest one among the short. Zhao Wenxi's strategic command attribute was only more than 40 points, but the tactical execution was not weak, and he ignored the enemy's fleet according to Chen Shaokuan's order, forcibly pursued and annihilated the Japanese armed merchant ships, and then retreated.

Japanese players, jubilant when they saw that the enemy fleet consisted of only three cruisers and four destroyers, were elated one by one and praised the commander of the player's fleet, Fujiwara Aida. Twenty-eight ships against seven, they believed that they could absolutely destroy the enemy's team and get the battle of Tsushima off to a good start. (To be continued......)
