The reason why the Russians strengthened the strength of the Pacific Fleet is because of Japan. The Russo-Japanese War has lasted for five years, and the two countries can no longer afford it. Russia is an established power, so in the eyes of the Russians, Japan is a small country. They have won the game against each other.
The Battle of Ma Hai made ordinary Russians look down on the Japanese even more, so they believed that Japan should have been defeated long ago.
Both the Russian army and navy were under great pressure. The people were dissatisfied with the government of Tsarist Russia, and the Tsar would convey their dissatisfaction to the frontline commanders. However, neither country made too many mistakes. No one was sure of winning at sea. The army
He also failed to gain the decisive advantage.
The four battleships built by Tsarist Russia will break this balance. Four main battleships will join the Pacific Fleet. If allies in Cam Ranh Bay are willing to continue to help, Russia will have a great advantage at sea. On the day when the Russian battleships were commissioned, the Tsar personally gave
Cam Ranh Bay sent a telegram requesting the Cam Ranh Bay fleet to assist the Russian Empire in delivering a fatal blow to Japan.
After Wu Peifu, who was in charge of Cam Ranh Bay, received the telegram, he immediately forwarded it to Chen Hao in Guangxi. Chen Hao took the matter very seriously. Now he can no longer get much benefit from Russia. The Russians' shipbuilding technology has already been improved.
After being surpassed, the reward given out would hardly satisfy him.
Chen Hao will not go all out to help the Russians in the war this time, because the Russian navy is no worse than the Japanese main fleet. If he sides with the Russians, Japan will lose. But if he does not help the Russians, the Japanese navy and the Russian navy will
Evenly matched, it is difficult for the two sides to fight. Historically, in 1910, the two countries signed an agreement to jointly carve up the three eastern provinces. Now that neither country wants to waste time, it will be more troublesome for them to stop fighting and jointly seek China's territory.
Chen Hao and Yang Du made a plan after planning for a long time. No matter what, they must give the Russians confidence to let their navy go to war with Japan. So Chen Hao quickly sent a telegram to the Russian side, saying that he would fully assist the Russian fleet to deal with Japan.
, for this purpose, three dreadnoughts and six invincible-class battlecruisers will be dispatched to Cam Ranh Bay, as well as some small ships.
There are two more dreadnoughts in Cam Ranh Bay that will be commissioned soon. There are only nine main warships in total. They are all sent out to show the greatest sincerity. The Tsar was very excited after receiving the telegram from Cam Ranh Bay and said that he would remember the friendship of Cam Ranh Bay.
, if Cam Ranh Bay helps Russia defeat the Japanese fleet, he will try to persuade France to lease Cam Ranh Bay to China for 99 years.
The Tsar's promise is a mission reward, and there are not many missions that reward territory. However, this mission reward is useless to Chen Hao. Today's Cam Ranh Bay Fleet is not much weaker than the French Navy, and the French Pacific Fleet is completely inadequate.
.Even if the Tsar did not come forward to ask the French to extend the lease time of Cam Ranh Bay, France would not dare to provoke these fierce pirates in Cam Ranh Bay.
The cooperation between Chen Hao and Silva is getting deeper and deeper. In the game, Silva's influence in France is gradually increasing. France has no idea of taking back Cam Ranh Bay. When the Tsar made the promise, Chen Hao received a task prompt: "
Player Chen Baxian, the Tsar has issued a mission to you, 'Defeat the Japanese Navy'. The conditions for completing the mission are: Cooperate with the Russian Pacific Fleet to defeat the Japanese main fleet. Mission reward: The Tsar convinces France to lease Cam Ranh Bay to you for 99 years."
Chen Hao had no interest in completing this mission, but he still chose to accept the mission, so that the Russian Navy would have the courage to start a full-scale war with Japan. If he did not complete the mission after accepting the mission, Chen Hao would be punished to a certain extent. The mission penalty would mostly be hostility from Russia.
.
Chen Hao was ready to trick the Russians. He said that the warships in Vladivostok and Port Arthur would be withdrawn to Cam Ranh Bay for supplies. At the same time, he would announce the end of cooperation with Russia. Only in this way will the Japanese main fleet plan to fight the Russian navy.
At that time, the sudden entry of the Cam Ranh Bay fleet into the battle could give the Japanese a fatal blow.
This trick was used by Cam Ranh Bay and Russia during the Battle of Tsushima. It is very doubtful whether the Japanese will be deceived by the Tsar this time, but Chen Hao said that he already has a way to stimulate the Japanese. He will announce to the public that two more buildings will be built in Cam Ranh Bay.
There are two super battleships and four battlecruisers. Seeing that the Cam Ranh Bay fleet is getting stronger and stronger, the Japanese will only find ways to fight in advance.
After ending the call with the Tsar, Chen Hao announced that he would suspend cooperation with the Russians. Due to the improvement of shipbuilding technology in Cam Ranh Bay, the main battleships serving in Lushun and Vladivostok will be withdrawn to the shipyard for overhaul. A total of one battleship and warships were withdrawn this time.
There are six cruisers in the line, and the repairs are expected to be completed within one year.
The warships belonging to Cam Ranh Bay in the Russian naval formation have begun sailing south. This news is what the Japanese want to see. The Russians have added four new battleships. If Cam Ranh Bay continues to support the Russian Pacific Fleet, they will be blocked at sea again.
Cam Ranh Bay chose to refit warships at this time, which just gave Japan a chance to breathe. There was a buffer time for adding new warships and advancing operations.
In fact, Chen Hao planned to deceive the Russians this time. He promised the Tsar to pretend to repair warships and wait until the critical moment when the Russian fleet and the Japanese fleet showed up to join the war. But from his perspective, he neither wanted the Russian navy to win nor the Japanese fleet to win.
He hopes that the Japanese navy will win, and it is in his interests that both sides will suffer losses.
After Chen Hao betrayed the Russians, the Tsar could not find a reason to accuse him. After all, he had already announced that he would repair warships and terminate cooperation with the Russians. When the Japanese Navy and the Russian Navy were fighting a decisive battle, the Russian fleet was eagerly waiting for Cam Ranh Bay.
The fleet came to support, but all they waited for was the news that the Cam Ranh Bay warship was undergoing "overhaul."
This strategy was completely Yang Du's plan, to betray the Russians once and for all, so that Japan and Russia would both lose. According to Chen Shaokuan's calculations, the navies of the two countries are equally powerful. In the decisive battle, even if one side is better at command, it will only win.
It may be a tragic victory. In this regard, Chen Hao is more optimistic about Japan. Togo Heihachiro's commanding ability is better than the Russian naval commander, so Japan will probably win.
The Japanese are willing to fight this war knowing that even if they win, it will only be a miserable victory. Korea is too important to Japan. The Russians have already entered Korea to fight, and the Japanese army is more elite. It is only because the maritime supply lines have been disturbed.
It was a stalemate. Once a naval battle breaks out again and the Japanese navy wins, the Japanese army can drive the Russian troops out of North Korea and force Russia to surrender to Japan.
After the Cam Ranh Bay fleet announces its overhaul, Japan will either choose to order more warships, or choose to take advantage of the Cam Ranh Bay fleet's inability to participate in the war to engage in a decisive battle with Russia. In order to leave Japan with no choice but to choose a decisive battle, Chen Hao will go to Cam Ranh Bay to announce the construction of two super-dreadnoughts.
As well as four Invincible-class battlecruisers, and a year later, news of heading to Vladivostok again to form an alliance with the Russian Navy.
After this shocking news is released, the Japanese will definitely give up the idea of ordering warships. Even if they submit the order within a year, they will not be as generous as Cam Ranh Bay. If no action is taken to defeat the Russian fleet within a year, they will wait until the new warships of Cam Ranh Bay are put into service.
, it would be dangerous for those damn pirates in Cam Ranh Bay to unite with the Russian Pacific Fleet again.
Chen Hao personally rushed to Cam Ranh Bay to announce the news for another reason. When the super-dreadnought design drawings were drawn, Wang Donglai made this request to him. Wang Donglai, who had been immersed in studying warships, hoped that Chen Hao would hold a ceremony when he built the super-dreadnought.
, officially announcing that he was the designer of the super-dreadnought.
Chen Hao understood Wang Donglai's mood. He had been working so hard to improve his design level, hoping to prove himself one day. He no longer cared about Ma Chan, but he had an obsession in his heart. He used facts to prove that his love of designing warships was not just a whim.
He really did it in the game.
There is a big problem with Wang Donglai doing this. Ma Chan knows that his game name is Ziying Donglai. If he knows that the most powerful player designer in the game is Ziying Donglai, his real identity will be exposed. Super Dreadnought
Wang Donglai, who will be the main battleship in the next few decades and can now draw super-dreadnought blueprints, will definitely attract the attention of many people, and some may even have malicious intentions.
Chen Hao supported Wang Donglai's plan, but he did not want Wang Donglai to be in danger. Only Wang Ying and Ban Qianqian knew his identity. After hearing his reminder, Wang Donglai became hesitant. He had worked hard for so many years, just hoping that
He can prove himself in one day. If he has made great achievements but remains unknown, even if he gets a lot of wealth and can use it all, he will be very unwilling.
After Chen Hao decided to announce the construction of a super-dreadnought ship, he gave Wang Donglai a suggestion and asked Wang Donglai to contact a department in the game. This department is a state agency in the game. Players who have performed particularly well in the game can worry about their safety in the real world.
Ask this agency to provide protection.
Of course, players also need to pay some benefits. Wang Donglai can do this. He only needs to draw some design drawings and submit them. After Chen Hao put forward his suggestion, Wang Donglai did not immediately agree. He hesitated and said: "Boss, my
The design involves many key technologies of Cam Ranh Bay. Isn’t it appropriate to leave it to others?”
Chen Hao smiled and said: "You are stupid! You are only responsible for submitting drawings. The key technologies used on the ship are of course left to others to figure out by themselves. When I asked you, you said you were only responsible for design and some basic technologies.
It’s Cam Ranh Bay’s secret, and there’s nothing you can do about it. Even if you don’t provide key technology, the drawings you drew in the game are worth the protection of that department, and you don’t have to worry about anything else.”
In fact, Wang Donglai is not lying. Although he designed the super dreadnought, part of the core technology was mastered by Xu Jianyin. After the department saw his drawings, they would definitely list him as an important person in the game. In reality, he would also
There is nothing to worry about. After Ma Chan learned that Wang Donglai was a warship designer, Wang Donglai would not be in danger even if he revealed the news. (To be continued.)
