Although the Kamchatka is marked as a maintenance ship of the Russian Navy, it is actually only a medium-sized ship converted from a freighter, and in order to cooperate with the main fleet, the maintenance ship is now stuffed with coal, making it difficult for hundreds of elite engineers from Russia to crowd into cramped cabins. 【 I want: super fast update 】

Everyone was cursing the harsh Vice Admiral Roger Stevenster, for he was so harsh that since the dinghy attack had taken place, he had ordered all ships to be on guard twenty-four hours a day, ordered all soldiers not to undress when they slept, and to strip all main and secondary guns, to load live ammunition, and to aim at every ship that came close.

But he forgot that the Atlantic Ocean was a busy international sea, where thousands of ships sailed every day, and soldiers were often woken up by alarm bells just after sleeping, then ran to the gun emplacement, and then fell asleep again in the shouts of lifting the guard.

Such a repeat has to come several times a day, even a dozen times, such an intensity is unbearable for individuals, so at this moment the fleet is full of curses against Roger Sterwinster, and rumors spread very much, and some people even began to slander the vice admiral, saying that he has been staying on that hospital ship for the past few days, and wearing green hats on the nobles and lords in the country.

The lieutenant admiral's response was simple, he took a harsh iron fist, patrolling the overtime and corners of the ships every day, and finding that the guy was disheveled or had not been wiped clean, was a punishment of whipping.

Gradually, the atmosphere of the fleet became strange, and even the hundreds of good Russian technical experts from various departments in the Kamchatka maintenance ship noticed that they were resentful of embarking on this absurd journey with the fleet, but they did not dare to complain, especially when they saw the pale radio inventor Tivchenko, who had just been brought out of the confinement room, "everyone chose to keep their mouths shut."

Tivchenko shielded his hand from the sunlight shining through the window, and after a month in the cramped and dark confinement room, it was difficult for his eyes to receive the light, and when he had recovered a little, he began to organize his tools, and then under the escort of the guards, he boarded a transport boat and sailed towards the second class battleship Petropavlovsk in the distance.

He resents such a life!

As a researcher of radio, he was appreciated by the Minister of the Navy, Grand Duke Aleksandrovich, and finally a year ago he came up with a finished product and secretly equipped it for use in the navy.

But what he didn't expect was that not only did his treatment not improve, but because of the fact that he was close to Alexa, Grand Duke Rosavich offended His Majesty the Tsar and was removed from the post of Minister of the Navy after he was dismissed from the post of Minister of the Navy, and was assigned to study torpedo technology that he did not understand at all, and then before the fleet set off, "he was forcibly put on this maintenance ship with all kinds of experts around him to escort the great Russian fleet." 【 I want: super fast update 】

Two months ago, the Kamchatka stopped near the beach of Dogo due to mechanical problems, but the British fishermen nearby frightened the ship, and immediately sent him a telegram that the Kamchatka was besieged by the Japanese boats, which led to a fierce bombardment of the fishing boats by the fleet, which led to the death of a British fishing boat and three fishermen, and led to a joke about the battleship Eagle and the cruiser Aurora.

When the remaining British fishermen returned to England with their broken British flags and "crying with fishing boats covered in gunpowder", it caused an immediate uproar, and the British Empire, as the world's number one naval hegemon, immediately sent three battleships to chase after them, demanding severe punishment and compensation for the murderers.

Although Roger Stewinster contacted the country, finally reached an agreement on reparations, and handed over several officers, including the captain of the Kamchatka, to the British, the tragic day finally came, because the telegram that had been attacked had been sent by him, the temporary telegraph operator of the navy.

The harsh life of confinement with no end in sight" drove even Titchenko crazy, and today he was released not because Vice Admiral Roger Thowinst forgave himself, but because there were problems with the radio stations on a dozen capital ships, including the Petropavlovsk.

The transport boat flew up to the large second-class battleship of Russia's own construction, and the mighty twin-mounted twelve-inch naval guns not only did not make him feel excited, but a little disgusted.

However, when he entered the telegraph cabin and saw the familiar radio transmitter, he suddenly forgot no, and devoted himself to the radio station that had kept him awake day and night.

The wooden radio transmitter casing had been lifted, revealing several thick electric tubes, metal wires extending from top to the deck antennas above.

The humble "rough, but in the eyes of Tivchenko" is a perfect masterpiece, because it does not need a telephone line, does not need a relay station, and can cross the limits of distance and connect with partners thousands of kilometers away.

The only thing he regretted was that it was a project funded by Grand Duke Aleksandrovich with naval funds, so the research results had to be exclusive to the navy, and in order to keep it secret and ensure that Russia was militarily superior, this research was only known to a few people, and he was the only research institute, and the Grand Duke later restricted the use of this technology in other places, so that he and this technology are still unknown today.

It's summer in the southern hemisphere, but because the cabin and deck are full of coal, even the portholes can't be opened, because as soon as they are opened, they are blown up by the wind, and these dust will short-circuit the fragile electrical components, so after only sitting here for a while, Ji Huichenko is already sweating.

But he completely forgot about the heat, because there was an extremely strange phenomenon in the transmitter in front of him today, that is, there was a constant murmur from the loudspeaker, as is the case with the transmitter on almost all warships, and the noisy and harsh sound made many captains have to order it to be turned off.

"What's going on?"

At first, Tivchenko thought that the electric pipe was broken, but after the change, it was still a problem, if it was on land, it was possible, because after his research, many places seemed to have naturally generated electromagnetic waves, which would seriously interfere with the use of radio, but here at sea, the natural wave signal is much weaker, should not cause this phenomenon?

Could it be that there is a strong magnetic field nearby?

Puzzled, the noise that had been noisy for nearly half an hour suddenly disappeared, as if it had never happened, and the news made Roger Sterwin breathe a sigh of relief, although he did not understand these things, but there was no doubt that it was these telegraph machines that could easily contact the ships that would ensure that he would not leave any ship behind in the vast sea, with varying speeds.

But the breath had not been delivered for a few hours, and the radio made another sizzling sound, this time even louder than before, but when Titchenko was woken up, it disappeared again.

Over the next few days, this noise seemed to become a habit, and gradually no one wanted to bother with it anymore, because everyone knew that after a while it would stop on its own.

But this phenomenon puzzled Tivchenko, and he tried to assume all kinds of possibilities, until a big idea of possibility jumped out of his mind, and his back was cold.

"Nearby, there is a ship loaded with a high-power radio transmitter!"

Tivchenko paced repeatedly, he didn't know whether to tell the commander of the fleet the news, because it sounded too absurd Russia is the only country that has mastered this technology at present, and even he can't make such a high-power transmitter, and limited by the power tube technology, such a large power is unrealistic!

After thinking about it, Tivchenko decided to keep the secret in his heart for the time being, knowing that even if he told Roger Sterwinster the news, he would probably get a blank scorn and a scolding, because the commander was now worried about going there to fill up the coal.

Yes, Roger Ste Winster was almost crazy, he didn't know what was going on, Britain and France had agreed that they would be willing to provide a refueling station, but when he arrived in Senegal, the French Governor General of West Africa told him that "permission from the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs is required to enter the port and refuel. ”

As a last resort, he could only find a temporary station, first use the coal brought by the coal fleet of the German Hamburg Amerionian Company, but in fact he was very disgusted with the coal provided by the Germans, because those were extremely inferior Japanese coal, put into the boiler only smoked and did not catch fire, although the bill of the Russian Admiralty has always had a record of importing high-quality Welsh coal, but in fact, he did not get even a gram after leading the fleet to sea!

Damn embezzlers!

Roger Steinster completely forgot that he was also an officer of the Admiralty, and he was also a favorite of His Majesty the Emperor, and aimed all the spearhead at the Admiralty, and since his departure he has been refusing to use the inferior coal provided by Germany, except that this thing cannot be burned, the important reason is that he has enough reason to believe that this coal is actually cut by Hua from the Japanese and sold to the Germans, and then let them hand it over to himself!

He didn't want to strengthen his opponent when he was about to fight, and that damn Li Mo must have deliberately delayed his arrival, but after Sergar ran into a wall, he had to use this kind of coal, or he might not even be able to get to South Africa.

But he didn't add much, because there was Gabon in front, but when he got there, he was completely dumbfounded, because after the fleet arrived in Gabon this time, the betrayal of the French had reached the point of being open, and they did not provide access to the port and coaling, and they actually did not allow German companies to refuel the Russian fleet at sea, and then Roger Stewinster, who was known as a "polite gentleman", also became angry and roared: "Mr. Governor, this is the high seas!" ”

But the French governor did not give an inch, not only brought in warships, but also shouted: "It's the high seas, but it's the high seas close to Gabon!" ”

France is better than Russia, although Roger Stewin was annoyed, but he endured it, continued to wander with the fleet, and then decided to go to the Portuguese colony of Angola in the front of the big fish bay to refuel, in his opinion Portugal is absolutely unable to provoke the powerful Russia.

But he was dumbfounded again, because when the powerful Russian expeditionary fleet arrived at Dayu Bay, a gunboat of dozens of tons, which could not even see the paint clearly, like a dehaired puppy, actually stood in front of him and demanded that the fleet leave!

God, what the hell is going on?

Finally, when he was once again forced to use the inferior Japanese coal provided by Germany, he staggered to the German colony of Peke Port in Angola and learned through the newspapers printed in Cape Town that Eastern Siberia had been occupied by the Chinese army, and nearly half of the 150,000 people of the Russian Eastern Front Army were killed or wounded, and the rest were all captured and became free workers for the reconstruction of the Trans-Siberian Railway.

The world is no longer optimistic about Russia! Even British Prime Minister Marquess Salisbury issued a statement saying that he would leave for China in early February.

So, do you want to go to the Far East?
