Chapter 95: Heihachiro Togo's Nightmare

The Red Police, which made its strong debut, knocked over a Japanese merchant ship, and after the gunboats that appeared later confirmed that the Japanese on the merchant ship were not alive, the huge fleet disappeared into the night.

Time passed slowly, and no one knew that a powerful fleet had entered the area of the Russo-Japanese naval battle, and the Japanese fleet, which had cleared the remnants of Russian ships, had not been discovered at all.

In the foggy sea, the Second and Third Fleets quietly approached the Japanese fleet.

This was thanks to the newest radio stations in the Japanese fleet, and it was these stations that clearly revealed their location.

It has only been a few years since the development of radio communications, and it is still far from being adopted and popularized by the armies of various countries.

Several battleships of the Japanese Combined Fleet, which had just been ordered back from England, were equipped with radio stations.

Russia's Second Pacific Fleet, on the other hand, does not even have a single radio station.

This is the communication advantage of the Japanese fleet, but the Japanese Navy could not have imagined that it was the new technology they were equipped with that clearly exposed the detailed location of the capital ships.

According to the signal from the radio station above the Japanese battleship, the three fleets of the Red Alert have formed a huge wireless three. Angular positioning.

The First Fleet is located in the western part of the Tsushima Strait, the Second Fleet is located in the northwest corner of the Tsushima Strait, and the Third Fleet is located in the southeast.

The three fleets were located in the Tsushima Strait, forming a huge trio, and the wireless reconnaissance equipment in the three fleets was also cross-positioned with each other, so that the exact position of the Japanese fleet could be easily and accurately locked.

Among them, the most dense signal must be the location of the main warship of the Japanese Combined Fleet, and the main battleship should be connected with the destroyer and torpedo boat that are clearing the remnants of the Russian ships.

Determining the location of the enemy ship, Luo Haiping, the commander-in-chief, took up his post and issued the first voice to the three fleets: "It's time to show real strength." ”

"Second Fleet ......"

"Third Fleet ......"

"...... of the 1st Cruiser Detachment"

……

Orders were conveyed to the flagships of each of the three fleets, as well as to the captain's office of each warship.

The speed of the three major fleets, which was originally slow, immediately increased.

The six main battleships of the Second Fleet and the Third Fleet broke away from the original fleet array.

Twenty-four cruisers divided into six battle formations and formed an independent combat detachment, heading for the light cruiser formations in the Japanese Combined Fleet.

More than 30 destroyers, with other warships, left the cruiser and battleship formations and went north to chase the destroyers and torpedo boats of the Japanese Combined Fleet, and of course they would not let go of the few remaining Russian warships.

Half an hour later, the regrouping of the various detachments was completed, and the flagships of each detachment received their respective combat missions at the same time, and according to their tasks, they acted separately towards their respective goals.

The six capital battleships, as the main force of the entire naval battle, naturally went straight to the location where the capital ship group of the Japanese Combined Fleet was located.

At the time of the completion of the formation, the six battleships were less than 15,000 kilometers away from the main ship group of the Japanese Combined Fleet.

In this era when the distance of naval battles was within 6,000 meters, and the sea was covered with thick fog, the Japanese Combined Fleet did not notice the uninvited guests around at all.

The Second Fleet advanced from the southeast, and the Third Fleet was in the southeast, barely moving in a straight line to the northwest.

The Japanese Combined Fleet, sailing due east, was about to pass through this straight line, and the warships on both sides formed a T-shaped position.

On the Mikasa, the flagship of the Japanese Combined Fleet, Heihachiro Togo, who was pretending to be asleep, suddenly woke up from his chair, and his head was full of cold sweat, which frightened him a lot.

The adjutant on the side hurriedly brought boiling water and asked, "Your Excellency, commander, what's wrong with you?" ”

"It's okay, just had a nightmare." Heihachiro Togo seemed to still have palpitations, and tried to calm himself down, and said.

"The Russian fleet is finished, is there anything else to worry about, Commander?" I thought about it day and night, but the Russian fleet was finished, and the adjutant naturally asked.

Heihachiro Togo shook his head, took a deep breath to completely wake himself up from the nightmare, and said: "In the battle of national strength, the empire won, but the empire is not invincible in the world, and the enemy is not only the Russian Empire. ”

Speaking of the brief dream that had just passed, Heihachiro Togo's excitement about the victory he had just achieved was gone.

Although Japan won the war by gambling on the fortunes of the country, it was difficult for the Japanese Empire to recover from this war in a few years with the huge war materials consumed and the billion-pound loans for the war.

This made Togo Heihachiro can't help but think of Fan Yize, a young Chinese who rose like thunder and lightning, made a move, instantly established its global status, forced Britain to bow its head, and even occupied the entire East Indies from the old power Netherlands.

If Russia is the enemy that Japan has to face at present, then Fan Yize is very likely to be a stronger opponent that Japan will face next.

With a mysterious and powerful navy, even Britain can only retreat, and even if the colony is occupied, the British can't get it back.

Compared with Fan Yize, the Japanese Empire is much more overshadowed.

When Fan Yize rose instantly, the Japanese Empire regretted why it didn't control this Chinese who was very hostile to Japan in the first place.

However, it was too late to say anything, at that time Fan Yize gave the world the impression that he was rich, and now Fan Yize not only has money, but also force, and it is the force that can make the British Empire submit.

Under the joy of victory, Togo Heihachiro thought of the next war, and under the conflict with Fan Yize, which was very likely to break out, he dreamed that he was still leading the combined fleet, and in the face of the fleet under Fan Yize, there was no result in the dream, because he had been awakened.

The dream reflected the truest thoughts, and after Togo Heihachiro woke up, he immediately realized that he was actually worried about fighting with Fan Yize's fleet.

"Time, Japan will need a little longer to prepare for the next war." Heihachiro Togo sighed and said something that made the adjutant scratch his head.

In order to win against Russia, Japan has been preparing for ten years, and in Togo Heihachiro's heart, if it wants to defeat Fan Yize, Japan will need at least fifteen years, and this is still the most conservative estimate.

Just as the adjutant was about to open his mouth to ask something, a shrill alarm from the fleet was heard.
