As soon as the news of the Battle of Vladivostok spread, the whole country rejoiced like a stimulant, and the diehards shouting "Long live the Emperor" gathered in Tokyo to celebrate this great victory over the white naval power.

To be honest, this battle is really uplifting.

Sweeping away the national sentiment that has been suppressed for a long time since the "Black Boat Incident" and speeding down the road from humble to arrogant, it will not take many years to become rampant and forgetful.

The small country and the widow are shallow, and the ambition is rampant more than this.

The naval battle that took place outside Vladivostok also shocked Europe and the United States, and the strong should be treated with due respect, which made the world powers look at Fusang with different eyes, and regarded it as another great power rising in the western Pacific.

Li Fushou knows;

Don't look at the results of this naval battle, which shocked the European and American worlds, in fact, because of factors that are not humane to outsiders, the results of this naval battle have been greatly reduced, almost as much as 4%.

Don't say anything else

After the Battle of Tsushima in the original history, the Second Pacific Fleet and the Third Pacific Fleet of the Tsarist Russian Navy were completely annihilated, six of the seven battleships were sunk, and one battleship "Eagle" was captured.

Of the 35 cruisers and destroyers of Tsarist Russia, 23 were sunk, 6 were captured, and only 6 escaped, namely Oleg, the flagship of the cruiser detachment, Aurora, Pearl and Diamond, the first three fled to the port of Manila, and only one cruiser, "Diamond", escaped into the port of Vladivostok with a destroyer, which can be described as miserable.

And the Fuso Combined Flotilla lost only three torpedo boats, killed 117 people and wounded 583 people, which can be said to be insignificant.

This was the most disparity in the history of world naval warfare, especially the First Sino-Japanese Naval Battle and the Russo-Japanese Battle of the Yellow Sea, and it was a decisive battle that established the status of Fuso as a world power, and its impact was far-reaching.

Even the most imaginative military observers of Europe and the United States could not have predicted such a tragic defeat for the Tsarist navy.

Since then, both Tsarist Russia and its successors have been looked down upon for their naval power, and this is still the case more than 100 years later, starting with the naval battle that shocked the world.

At a time when countries around the world are still digesting this amazing news, Li Fushou can see something different through the eyes of the times.

Now history has taken a small turn

The Tsarist Russian fleet lost extremely badly, and the so-called rotten ship still had three nails, and more or less left some belongings.

The battleship "Nicholas I" of the Tsarist fleet was seriously injured, and three battleships, "Admiral Apraksin", "Admiral Sheniavin" and "Eagle", were slightly injured and hid in the port of Vladivostok and did not dare to come out.

After all, the whole army was not completely wiped out, and among the four battleships, the "Eagle" was a 13,500-ton "Borodino" class battleship, a new ship that had just been launched, and the damage was not serious, and as long as it was fully repaired, it could restore its combat effectiveness.

The other three battleships and seven cruisers, as long as they were fully repaired, plus the original three cruisers and more than 10 destroyers in the port of Vladivostok, were a maritime force to be reckoned with.

With such capital in his hands, how could Tsar Nicholas II willingly surrender?

This battle also woke up the upper ruling class of Tsarist Russia, knowing that the small Fuso country was not easy to get along with, and basically would not use the only remaining naval power in the port of Vladivostok to touch the eggs with stones, but cowered in the port of Vladivostok and used it as a deterrent force for the existing fleet.

He really could not pose a serious threat to the Fuso Combined Fleet, but he stuck in his heart like a thorn in his flesh.

You don't see it

After the Battle of Vladivostok, most of the ships of the Fuso Combined Fleet returned to the port one after another to rest, but they still maintained two battleships, two cruisers with a lineup of more than 10 second-line ironclad cruisers and more than 20 destroyers, and continued to blockade the port of Vladivostok.

This naval force already accounts for as much as 60 percent of the combined fleet of the Fuso State.

It can be seen from this that the Japanese side does not dare to relax at any time, let alone let Nanshan go, and continues to maintain a tight blockade of the port of Vladivostok.

A huge fleet swimming on the surface of the sea for a day would cost nearly 100,000 yen in the navy's budget, and over time, it would really bring down the finances of Fuso.

From a strategic point of view, this is exactly what the Ocean Empire is happy to see, and it is better for the Western Pacific region to have three powers in parallel than two to compete for hegemony.

Easily letting the little devils free their hands will inevitably lead to self-pride and some unnecessary covetousness towards the South Pacific region.

It's not that I'm afraid of it, but there's no need to be so troublesome.

After this war, Japan and Russia will inevitably be inseparable in blood, and the navy of the Ocean Empire can choose a partner gracefully, exert strong pressure on the other side, and use force to fight to achieve twice the result with half the effort.

Now all countries in the world see that the Tsarist Russian fleet is a paper tiger, pure mud that cannot support the wall, and in the battle of Vladivostok, the backbone was broken, the breath in the heart was scattered, and it became a thing like a dog.

Li Fushou was not without regret in his heart, but he was helpless.

He had done his best to help the Tsarist fleet, and he almost didn't order the Imperial fleet to help the Tsarist Russia fight this battle, and the Tsarist Russian expeditionary fleet still lost so badly, and it was only that it sank two more Japanese cruisers and one destroyer in the battle, and it was not as ugly as one-sided.

It may be that the blind cat encounters a dead mouse in the night battle, which is a real blessing.

Without naval inheritance, without naval heritage is something that cannot be put on the table after all, it is purely blind to expect the Tsarist fleet to be as powerful as a drug, and to exert 1000% of its ordinary ability to defeat the little devils.

It seems that in the future, the Royal Navy of Dayang will need to worry about this, and it is expected that the Qing Kingdom and Russia will not be reliable, and they will rush to deliver food to others.

Viscount Pham Chung Zhai, the prime minister of the cabinet, under the leadership of the royal secretary, entered the East Cabinet and greeted him with a respectful expression; "Wechen see Your Majesty."

"Brother Zhongzhai, come, watch tea, sit down and talk."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Prime Minister Pham Chung Zhai sat down on the brocade bench, looked at His Majesty's thoughtful face, and knew that the hottest topic at the moment was the Battle of Vladivostok in the Far East, which was really groundbreaking and stirred up the turmoil in Asia.

"Brother Zhongzhai, what do you think of the current trend of the Russo-Japanese War in the Far East?"

As expected, Li Fushou really asked this question, the so-called one person is short, and everyone is long, and he wants to hear the opinions of the cabinet.

Prime Minister Fan Zhongzhai bowed his hands and replied cautiously;

"Returning to Your Majesty;

The Cabinet recently discussed this matter and listened to the special analysis and reports of the War Department and the Navy Department, and basically reached a consensus.

That is, after a year and a half of the bloody Russo-Japanese War, the situation is now becoming clearer, and now the Japanese side not only occupies the vast majority of the advantage, but has also converted the advantage into an irreversible victory, and it is extremely difficult and almost impossible for Tsarist Russia to turn the tables.

Now both sides are exhausted, and at the end of the strong crossbow, they can't wear Lu Min.

Wasting human lives and money will not help the general situation, but will invite greater humiliation.

Therefore, the ministers of the cabinet believed that the time had come to an end to the war. ”

"Heroes see the same thing, I think so too......" Speaking of this, Li Fushou paused, took out a telegram in his hand and looked at it, then pushed it forward along the table, signaling Prime Minister Fan Zhongzhai to take a look; This is an ocean-going telegram sent to me by Tsar Nicholas II, which reveals that Tsarist Russia is still sending troops to the Far East at a rate of 30,000 men a month, and wants to continue the war. ”

"This ...... He wants to find the support of the Empire and the like? Prime Minister Fan Zhongzhai quickly browsed it and said with a surprised expression.

"Hehehe...... Nicholas II was not stupid, he used the unfavorable situation of the future little devils to dominate the Far East, hoping to persuade me to wade into this troubled water, but also wanted to be blind. ”

on Telegram

Tsar Nicholas II tried his best to state the disadvantages of the Fuso devil's dominance of the Far East from both the national and strategic perspectives, and described himself as a messenger of justice and a pioneer in the resistance to Fusang's expansionism......

Anyway, it was to use the three northeastern provinces of the Qing court as a painting cake to lure the Ocean Empire to take the bait.

Thousands of words are sprinkled and demagogic.

This is not the delusion of Tsar Nicholas II, because after the First Sino-Japanese War, the Ocean Empire once used the port of Mugang to eliminate the elite forces of the Fuso Combined Fleet in one fell swoop, and also bombarded Nagasaki, deterred Tokyo Bay by force, and took away a large piece of war reparations from the Fuso people, and took away the Taipeng region, echoing with the north and south of the Tsarist Russian Empire, which made the little devil suffer a big loss.

Now is the time when the two sides are exhausted, and the intervention of the army of the Ocean Empire at this time is bound to become the last straw that breaks the camel's back, and the situation is reversed in an instant, and the benefits are naturally self-evident.

It's a pity that he is up to Li Fushou, Li Fushou is a sage time for the entire land of China, and he will not even interfere in the rich southeastern provinces, let alone go to the Far East to fight with Japan and Russia?

That's why Li Fushou said that he wanted to be blind, and it was impossible at all.

"Brother Zhongzhai, you negotiate with the envoys of both sides through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, try to sit down for peace talks, and then decide on the next step." After Li Fushou gave a few words, he thought for a while, and then continued; "There should be no problem on the Tsarist side, they can't fight without our support, and now the revolutionary uprising in Tsarist Russia is surging, and the situation may get out of control, and whether to fight or not is not something that Nicholas II can say.

On the contrary, there is some trouble on the part of the little devils, since the Meiji Restoration, they have always been very close to the Citigroup, and international mediation may be more pinned on the white people's action, which will appear to be a little more face-saving and can show the glory of the victorious country.

We can't get used to him, and we have to beat him when it's time to fight.

Just reveal this secret telegram from Nicholas II to the little devils of Fuso, and let them think about it for themselves!

If it can hold on, from Changchun, Harbin to Vladivostok, then the Ocean Empire will be happy to see it, otherwise it will sit down honestly and negotiate, don't think about those who have it or not.

If the Far East is not lively, the Ocean Empire does not mind adding to the fire. ”

"Wechen obeys." Fan Zhongzhai is an outstanding talent, and he knows the elegance when he hears the string songs.

The Russo-Japanese War has been fought to the extent that it is almost now, and even if there is another dispute, it will be small-scale friction and fighting, and neither side can afford to launch a large-scale battle, which is purely a waste of time.

Being able to hold talks under the auspices of the Ocean Empire and reach a truce decision can highlight Australia's international status on the one hand, and on the other hand, it can take advantage of the source and maximize the benefits.

I think there should be no problem under the beating and pressure, right?
