Chapter 339: Set Sail
PS: (Thank you for the precious monthly ticket that the autumn breeze can't take away, and Death Xiaopeng)
Chen Hao and Wu Peifu tried their best to cooperate, Wang Ying got first-hand interview materials, and she quickly completed a manuscript. This manuscript has not been sent out for the time being, because Chen Hao still needs time to move, and after all the things are moved onto the warship and into the sea, let Wang Ying send the manuscript.
Now the Japanese and Russian fleets in the Pacific are facing each other, the British fleet has been boiled by Chen Hao, and the French navy in the Pacific is negligible. So even if the French don't agree to give up Cam Ranh Bay, Chen Hao doesn't have to worry, because there is no force that can threaten him in the short term.
Chen Hao would ask Captain Gobiato to meet with Vice Admiral Marstark, the commander of the Russian Pacific Fleet, and tell him that the British and Japanese warships were in Gobiato's hands. Whether Stark believes it or not, it is a fact that the Japanese have suffered damage to the strength of the Japanese due to the seizure of warships, and the Russian fleet will not be full of trouble with the Yingkou fleet.
Historically, the Japanese raided the University on February 8 before declaring war on Russia, and the Japanese Navy attacked Admiral Stark at a ball. He was one of a large number of mediocre generals in Russia, and he still did not believe that Japan would dare to wage war against Russia, and Captain Gobiato would certainly not get his support when he went to the University of Brigades now.
However, even if Stark does not support the Yingkou fleet, I believe he will not deal with the Yingkou fleet and let the Japanese sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and Chen Hao does not have to worry about safety. His goal is Cam Ranh Bay in the South Seas, so he must enlist the support of Russia, and it doesn't matter if Stark is idiot, he will definitely make the right choice when the tragic Admiral Makarov becomes commander of the Pacific Fleet in March.
The reason why Admiral Makarov is tragic is because he is so tragic, which seems to be nonsense. As the most famous admiral of the Russian Navy, the Russian top brass sent him to the brigade at the height of tension between Japan and Russia. However, in April 1904, when he led the fleet on a large sortie, his ship Petrobarovsk was damaged by a mine.
This is a tragedy not only for Makarov, but also for Russia, and Admiral Makarov is a rarity among a large number of mediocre Russian admirals. After the outbreak of the Russo-Japanese War, due to Stark's poor command, the Tsarist Pacific Fleet has been blockaded in the port of Luda. The Russian top brass removed Stark from his post and appointed Admiral Makarov as commander of the Pacific Fleet.
Makarov took a series of measures to restore the morale of the Russian army after arriving at the brigade, but the Japanese took advantage of the psychology of Tsarist Russia's eagerness to fight and laid a large number of mines outside the brigade port, and Makarov's flagship tragically hit a mine and sank.
God was not on the side of the Russians, who lost the best naval commanders. During the Battle of Tsushima, the Baltic Fleet fought a major battle with the Japanese Navy, and Rear Admiral Vetteev, who succeeded Admiral Makarov as commander of the Pacific Fleet, dared to hide in the port of Luda and let the expeditionary Baltic Fleet fight alone. The Battle of Tsushima was almost completely annihilated.
Because the task was completed smoothly, Chen Hao had enough time to evacuate, and after four days, all the supplies in Yingkou had been loaded onto the warship. Chen Hao has been developing in Yingkou for two years, mainly hoarding materials and reserving talents, he has long been ready to grab warships, he has prepared enough anthracite, and even let the arsenal produce a large number of naval guns.
The game time entered February 7, 1904, and everything was ready, but Chen Hao was ready to wait one more day before acting. The Japanese raid on the Russian port of Luda took place on February 8. Heihachiro Togo must have given the order before coming to Yingkou, and it would be better to wait until Japan officially declared war on Russia before asking Captain Gobiato to go to Lieutenant General Stark.
If Chen Hao drove the warship away now. At the same time, let Togo Heihachiro leave, which is equivalent to sending an excuse to the Japanese. The Yingkou incident is likely to be the trigger for the Russo-Japanese War, and Stark, who was reluctant to go to war with the Japanese. Maybe he will take his anger out on Captain Gobiato.
When the Japanese raided the port of Luda, Stark didn't have any chances, and he took it very seriously when he learned that Gobiatto had a fleet in his hands. Of course, it is quite possible that Stark will ask Captain Gobiatto to lead the fleet into battle. At this point, Chen Hao has already made an excuse for Gobiato, as long as he tells Stark that the fleet has just grabbed it, and it has not yet formed combat effectiveness, and it needs to have a base for training for a period of time.
After the Japanese raid on Luda, the Russian navy would have been suppressed. It is likely that Stark used Gobiato's fleet as a lifesaver.
Gobiato told Stark that he wanted to rest in the South Seas, and Stark probably wouldn't refuse, because the Japanese would protest after Heihachiro Togo was released, and the Russian government would not recognize Gobiato's official background. Since Tsarist Russia did not officially recognize Gobiasto as a government assignment, Gobiasto's fleet could not enter the brigade or Vladivostok for training.
Gobiato offered to rest in the South Seas, hoping to "occupy" Cam Ranh Bay in France, and after Stark's report, it was very likely that the top level of Tsarist Russia would intervene to mediate.
On February 8th, due to the fact that Japanese and Russian players did not change the story mission, Japan raided the University as it did in history. The officers of the Tsarist Pacific Fleet were all attending Stark's ball, so the Pacific Fleet was caught off guard, but the Japanese did not achieve their intended purpose due to the fact that the brigade was a large fortress.
A long whistle sounded at the Yingkou wharf, and Chen Hao's fleet officially set sail, carrying supplies and heading south. Standing on a destroyer, Gobiato sailed north, where he was going to meet with Commander Stark and convince Stark to help him gain a base in Cam Ranh Bay.
In the tunnel, Heihachiro Togo has been staying like a rat for five days, and every day he is scared. After eating some food briefly, Ichiro Aoki, who went to visit the cave, said with a look of surprise: "Your Excellency, Commander, as you expected, those Huaxia people did not dare to stay at Yingkou after snatching the warship, they have already evacuated. ”
Dongxiang Heihachiro Huo Ran stood up and said excitedly: "Can you be sure?" ”
Aoki Ichiro nodded and said: "After discovering that the garrison at the exit of the tunnel had left, I went out of the tunnel to investigate, and the troops of the Huaxia people were basically withdrawn, and the Yingkou wharf was no longer under martial law. ”
Heihachiro Togo strode towards the exit of the tunnel, and turned back and said, "Aoki-kun, you immediately go out with me to find the radio station, send a report to the base camp and ask them to send a warship to pick me up, and at the same time tell them about the Russians seizing the warship." ”
The two were lucky, and when they came to the ground, they quickly found the telegraph room of the Yamen of the Zhili Hall in Yingkou, and there was only one staff member in the telegraph room, and there were no soldiers on duty. Ichiro Aoki took out a pistol and forced the telegraph operator to inform the Japanese base camp of what had happened at Yingkou, and then waited at the dock with Heihachiro Togo for the warship sent by the base camp.
Some local departments in the game have telegraph rooms, which are like a system that allows players to use the radio station after occupying the place, but cannot move it out. Chen Hao only established a C-level headquarters in Yingkou, and was not equipped with a radio station, and he used the official radio station Yingkou to communicate with Wu Peifu and others in the past two years.
When Chen Hao left, he did not give the order to destroy the radio station, he wanted Togo Heihachiro and Aoki Ichiro to know that the Russians had robbed the warship in the Japanese base camp earlier, and let the Japanese protest against the Russians. The Japanese protested, which proved from the side that the fleet was in the hands of Captain Gobiato, so that it was easy to get the support of Tsarist Russia.
After Heihachiro Togo and Ichiro Aoki sent a telegram, the latest issue of the "Huaxia Daily" also came out, with the headline on the front page being "Bear the burden of humiliation for two years, just for a shame." This article is written by Wang Ying, who briefly lists the damage caused by the British navy to the Qing Dynasty in the Opium War, and at the same time introduces the disastrous defeat of the Chinese navy in the First Sino-Japanese Naval War, and then thinks that Wu Peifu and Chen Ba were very happy to snatch the advanced warships of Britain and Japan first.
The large-scale report of the "Huaxia Daily" shocked the Chinese people fiercely, and some people agreed with this practice, while others thought that it was a means of indiscriminate use. But there is one point, Wu Peifu's prestige, which was affected by his groveling to foreigners, has been restored, and no one can deny his patriotic fervor.
In just one day, Wu Peifu's reputation increased by 36 points, Wang Ying overfulfilled the task, and Chen Hao's reputation also increased by 5 points. The reason why his prestige has not risen much like Wu Peifu is because it has always been Wu Peifu who has carried the black cauldron, causing Wu Peifu's reputation to fall to the bottom, and now Wu Peifu will wash away his shame and increase rapidly.
Chen Hao's reputation was mainly affected on the forum, because after Ren Xiaoying hunted a lot of information, many players believed that Wu Peifu was his subordinate. This time, the big deal of snatching the warship is also boiling on the forum, and countless players have posted praise, and occasionally two players who come to hack Chen Hao will also be scolded by the masses of the people.
"Damn, Chen Baxian is too NB, he actually grabbed so many warships at one time, and even has a fleet."
"That's it! I've always been interested in the navy, and when I entered the game, I wanted to learn about the navy, but then I decided that no boss could afford to play the fleet and I gave up. I knew that I had been studying the navy, and maybe I could go to Boss Chen and work on his warship in the future. ”
"Anyway, Boss Chen shouldn't have had the idea of snatching the warship a long time ago, right? Otherwise, why did he build the Sailor School in the first place and invest so much money to improve the Yingkou Wharf? ”
"There is this possibility, but if this is the case, Boss Chen is too NB, it is simply Zhuge Liang alive......"
After Wang Ying's article was published, countless posts appeared on the Huaxia District forum, but most of them were well-wished. In addition to the Huaxia forum, the foreign forum is also very lively, because the fleet that Chen Hao now has is the most powerful navy in the player's hands.
There has never been a player in Huaxia who has mastered the fleet, but there are players abroad who have it, and it is easier to get a warship abroad as long as there is money than Huaxia. The largest fleet in the game is in the United Kingdom, with four cruisers and twelve destroyers, and now Chen Hao's fleet has surpassed the fleet mastered by British players. (To be continued......)
