Yang Du's evaluation of the Japanese was bloody, and he believed that the Japanese were very fond of gambling, and the First Sino-Japanese War and the Russo-Japanese War were the most direct embodiments. If Japan was defeated in the First Sino-Japanese War, it would deal a major blow to Japan's development, and the result of the complete defeat of the Russo-Japanese War would be the collapse of the Japanese economy.

In the game, Chen Hao changed the plot of the Russo-Japanese War, and if it weren't for the monetary support of Japanese players, the Japanese economy would definitely be ruined. The gambling behavior of the Japanese is not only known to Yang Du twice, but the launching of a full-scale war of aggression against China in history, as well as the sneak attack on Pearl Harbor and the declaration of war on the United States, are all manifestations of the nature of Japanese gamblers.

Yang Du dissected the character of the Japanese nation, and then pointed out that the main forces of the Japanese navy did not want to fight, but because they did not see any chance of victory. If the Japanese Navy discovers a fighter plane and thinks that there is more than half a chance of victory, it will take the risk and launch a decisive battle at sea.

Yang Du's opinion attracted the attention of Jiang Baili's Cai Yi, although the two were not familiar with the navy, they had many things in common in the art of war. If the Japanese Navy wants to go to sea to fight, it is necessary to paralyze the commander of the Japanese Navy, Heihachiro Togo, and make him believe that there is a great certainty of victory in the war. However, it is also necessary to be cautious and cautious in luring the Japanese Navy, otherwise the Japanese Navy will swallow the bait and retreat safely, and it will be the Cam Ranh Bay Fleet that suffers.

Cam Ranh Bay and the Russian coalition outnumbered the Japanese, and the Japanese Navy had to disperse its operations in order for the Japanese Navy to capture the fighters. Yang Du was not very capable of commanding, but he was good at creating illusions, and when Wang Yaqiao reported on the situation of spying on the Japanese spy Yanagi Yuji, he thought of a way to paralyze the enemy.

Yuji Yanagi has been lurking in Cam Ranh Bay, and he has a Vietnamese pseudonym, Nguyen Van Chang, who spies among the indigenous people around Cam Ranh Bay. When Wu Peifu attacked Taiwan, Yuji Yanagi had inquired about various information about Cam Ranh Bay. And sent the information to the Japanese base camp.

Although the Japanese base camp was tricked, the information provided by Yuji Yanagi was very accurate, and he clearly reported the movements of the army and navy in Cam Ranh Bay. After Taiwan was conquered, Yuji Yanagi still did not realize that he had been exposed, and the Japanese base camp also thought that he was an excellent agent of the empire, so he continued to stay in Cam Ranh Bay to find out the news.

Jiang Baili and Cai Ye rushed to Inchon to hand in the battle plan. After the plan was perfected and turned into an S-class, Chen Hao agreed to the plan. Since the Cam Ranh Bay fleet was planned to be the main force of the battle, he sent a telegram to communicate with the Tsar, who was amazed by this plan and said that the Russian side would give it its full support.

In the Telecommunications Department of the Cam Ranh Bay Command, the NPCs that were previously gifted by the system were transferred to other positions and replaced with an NPC soldier named Li Erhu. Yang Du discovered that Li Erhu was a telecommunications genius through the "eyesight" stunt, which gave him the opportunity to enter the command headquarters, but let the Japanese spy Yanagi Yuji take advantage of the loophole.

Yuji Yanagi in order to get close to Li Erhu. secretly arranged for half a year, and finally mastered Li Erhu's handle. It's a pity that as an NPC, Yuji Yanagi didn't understand the power of Lord Chen's "Imperial Heart Technique" stunt, and when he mastered Li Erhu's handle, Li Erhu ostensibly agreed to a series of conditions for him, but secretly took the initiative to find Wang Yaqiao.

After Wang Yaqiao reported to Chen Hao, Chen Hao ordered Li Erhu to deal with Liu Shengxiong and wronged the snake, and deliberately leaked some information to mislead the Japanese. After paralyzing the Japanese base camp and successfully taking Taiwan, Yang Du's appetite was even greater this time. He wanted to set a trap again to lure the snake out of the hole and create conditions for the annihilation of the main force of the Japanese navy.

Yuji Yanagi and Erhu Li met in the middle of nowhere. Li Erhu handed him an updated telegram in which the Incheon side asked the Government Council to collect information related to Sasebo. Yuji Yanagi was taken aback when he saw the three words Sasebo, Sasebo is an important naval base in Japan, what do the Chinese want to do?

Yanagi did not dare to slack off, and contacted the Japanese base camp through a secret radio station to report that the Chinese were paying attention to Sasebo. Japan's capital revenue took this telegram very seriously. The Admiralty held a meeting overnight and asked Yuji Yanagi to inquire further.

The next day, the king of Japanese agents, Akashi Genjiro, sent a telegram to the Japanese base camp, saying that Cam Ranh Bay and the Russian Navy were in frequent contact and that a large-scale battle plan was being prepared. Akashi Motojiro said that the two navies had repeatedly mentioned "Busan" and Sasebo in their telegrams, and that it seemed that the battle plan was related to these two ports.

Genjiro Akashi is a genius agent king of Japan. During the Russo-Japanese War, he financed the Russian Revolution of 1905 and turned the Russian hinterland upside down, and was known as a figure who could reach ten divisions with one person. Because of his genius brain, he was denied entry to the Monaco casino, and there are only two Japanese who have this treatment, and the other is Isoroku Yamamoto, the commander of the Combined Fleet during World War II.

After Japan's Ohonto received the information of Motojiro Akashi, he confirmed the news that Yuji Yanagi had inquired about, and paid more attention to the relevant news of Sasebo. The Japanese navy, which was patrolling in the afternoon, reported that it had captured two fishing boats piloted by the Chinese people, who disguised themselves as Japanese fishermen to inquire about the news near Sasebo.

Yamamoto Isoroku ordered Yuji Yanagi and Motojiro Akashi to strengthen intelligence gathering, and ordered the information of the two to be reported to him as soon as possible. Genjiro Akashi is a genius agent, and he obtained a naval battle plan from a Russian vice admiral through very clever means.

After reading this Cam Ranh Bay and Russian joint battle plan, Heihachiro Togo frowned, the enemy's appetite was too great. After the Chinese and Russians attempted to feint Pusan with a third of their fleets to attract the attention of the Japanese navy, the main fleet escorted the forces of the three armies to land at Sasebo, thus opening a second battlefield on the Japanese mainland.

Japan was at a disadvantage in Korea, and if Cam Ranh Bay and Russia were allowed to open up a second battlefield, Japan would definitely lose the war. Heihachiro Togo also suspected that it was an enemy trap, and he reported the situation to the base camp, and the Japanese base camp started an argument.

Some people see this as an opportunity to understand the enemy's strategic intentions in advance, making it easier to deal with them, and perhaps reversing the Navy's passive situation in one fell swoop. Others believe that this is a conspiracy of the enemy, and once the main naval force is dispatched, it may be surrounded and annihilated by Cam Ranh Bay and the Russian navy.

Yang Du's judgment of the Japanese was very accurate, the Japanese were gamblers, and the majority of those who believed that the main fleet should be sent to besiege the enemy's one-third fleet. Although Heihachiro Togo still had concerns, he still accepted the suggestion to go to war, and the Japanese and Russian navies attacked Pusan, and if they completely ignored the Korean battlefield, they would be completely defeated.

The Japanese base camp ordered intelligence officers to continue to collect information, and at the same time urgently transferred two divisions of land forces to strengthen the defense of Sasebo, preparing to meet the enemy's main navy in Sasebo. Once it was confirmed that one-third of the enemy's warships were attacking Busan, and their main fleet sailed to the South Pacific in preparation for a surprise attack on Sasebo, the main Japanese naval force would pass through the Tsushima Strait to deal with the fleet attacking Busan.

Yuji Yanagi and Genjiro Akashi continued to give feedback to the base camp, and more and more intelligence showed that Cam Ranh Bay and Russia were trying to land in Sasebo to open a second battlefield. On 16 August, five dreadnoughts, twelve battle cruisers, twenty-six cruisers, and a large number of destroyers of the Russian Pacific Fleet passed through the Sea of Japan and headed for Busan.

The Russian Pacific Fleet, stationed in Arthur, sailed south out of the port and entered the Yellow Sea, but soon lost its news. The main fleet of Cam Ranh Bay, which had been cruising in the Yellow Sea, also entered the depths of the Pacific Ocean after sinking several small ships under Japanese surveillance. The Japanese Navy, which had received the information for a long time, sent fishing boats to wait near the 34th parallel of the north latitude, and sure enough, the converging Japanese and Russian navies were found.

The Chinese Navy and the Russian Navy were heading south, and the fishing boats did not dare to get too close, so they reported the information to the Japanese base camp as soon as possible. Intelligence officers in southwest China soon sent a telegram that Chen Baxian's ace unit, the Southwest Garrison Division, had disappeared, and the Second and Third Divisions were also missing.

Yuji Yanagi reported the latest news, a large number of cargo ships of an ocean-going company secretly controlled by Cam Ranh Bay were missing, and the Cam Ranh Bay Government Council had prepared a large amount of supplies in a short period of time. The Japanese command in Korea also sent a telegram, saying that Cam Ranh Bay and the Russian army had slowed down the attack, and the strength of almost one army had disappeared.

After synthesizing a large amount of information from the Japanese base camp, there was no longer any doubt about the battle plan that Akashi Genjiro and Yanagi Yuji had discovered, and Togo Heihachiro quickly organized the naval staff to formulate an operation plan. In order to ensure that nothing went wrong, the main force of the Japanese navy rushed to Pusan to deal with the Russian fleet, and for this purpose did not hesitate to use more than 40 warships piloted by strangers.

The Sasebo naval base is completely defended by the army, and even if the port falls, the army will set up a strong defensive line thirty kilometers back. As long as the Russian Navy can be successfully annihilated, the Japanese Navy's disadvantage will no longer be so great, it will not be so easy for Cam Ranh Bay and Russia to block the sea lines of communication, and Japan will still have a chance to turn defeat into victory.

Of course, it is not without risk that the Japanese navy will be dispatched in its entirety, and once the navy is completely annihilated, Japan will never recover. The Japanese base camp was well aware of this, but if they did not seize this opportunity they would lose Korea and lose the war. Rather than sit back and wait for a suspended death sentence, it is better to take a gamble to see if you can annihilate most of the Russian navy, which is the truest idea of the Japanese base camp.

After joining the Russian Pacific Fleet stationed in Artshun, Cam Ranh Bay went south to near the 33rd parallel. Chen Shaokuan sent more than 30 patrol detachments to check in all directions, and after confirming that there were no Japanese reconnaissance ships, he gave the order for all warships to turn around and sail for the Tsushima Strait.

The Japanese thought that the Combined Fleet would continue southward and then escort the troop carriers to land in Sasebo, but the Combined Fleet turned around the 33rd parallel and sailed towards the Tsushima Strait. When Chen Shaokuan ordered the fleet to turn, Heihachiro Togo also commanded the main force of the Japanese navy out of the port, preparing to outflank the Russian fleet attacking Busan from the northern part of Tsushima Island.
