After Starck finished speaking, he sighed, and then ordered the fleet to start reorganizing.
This time, the Far East Fleet, with cruisers on the outside and three battleships on the inside, drove at full speed and sailed along the outside of the Nanyang Fleet squadron, hoping to bypass the Nanyang Fleet.
Liu Wei saw all this very clearly on the battleship Yandi. His purpose this time was to intercept the Pacific Fleet. How could he let them go south?
So Liu Wei also ordered the entire fleet to speed up. Relying on being faster than the Russian Pacific Fleet, the entire fleet circled an arc and came to the front of the Russian Pacific Fleet again, and at the same time seized the prefix T.
After completing this turn, Liu Wei ordered the fleet to face the enemy's Far East Fleet and prepare to fire.
At the same time, in order not to leave anything to the other side to talk about, the flag bearers were also ordered to use flags to warn the other side.
Although Stark was moving forward at full speed at this time, due to his speed, he still saw the Nanyang Navy once again blocking his front, and had already seized the "T" position.
While Stark was frowning, his adjutant came quietly to her side and said in her ear: "Commander, the other party sent a signal command. We should turn immediately and not go south. Otherwise, if they act again, they will immediately
fire."
After hearing this, Stark clenched his fists tightly and knocked hard on the command podium in front of him. When had they ever suffered such a loss? Even when they had a full-scale war with the Gili Country, they just signed a peace treaty.
treaty.
But now the other party, a barbarian from the Far East, actually asked the Far East fleet to turn around. This is simply too much bullying.
At this time, Bobaifu started to play quail next to him. Through the series of fleet actions just now, he clearly understood that his country's Far East Fleet was far behind the Nanyang Navy.
If a war breaks out, my side may have no chance of winning, and even my life may not be saved.
But now Stark doesn't want to let him go, because if he retreats this time, he will definitely be held accountable when he returns to the country. It is better to have someone to bear the burden with him than to bear it alone.
"Mr. Bobaifu, the situation is obvious now. What do you mean? Do you want to retreat or continue to move forward?"
"Commander Stark, I am just a layman and don't know anything about military matters. It's up to you to decide this matter."
"Mr. Bobaifu, I hope you won't shirk anymore. Now we are two grasshoppers on the same rope. Just now you came to deliver orders to me, and I have always acted according to your wishes. But now you
If you continue to shirk, then I can only report to St. Petersburg truthfully."
Bobaifu frowned after hearing this. This matter is indeed difficult to handle. If they don't rescue the embassy in North Korea, they will compromise and their interests in North Korea will be completely lost.
If we want to force the passage, there will inevitably be a large-scale naval battle with the Nanyang Navy. According to the current situation, our side is at a disadvantage and it is impossible to win.
In the end, Bobaibo weighed the pros and cons and could only say to Stark: "Your Excellency Commander, I really don't understand military affairs and I don't know whether I can win. But I see the situation now. At least the fleets of both sides are evenly matched.
Once a naval battle occurs, the Far East Fleet will definitely suffer heavy losses, which will be a disaster for our country. So I think we will retreat temporarily and wait for domestic instructions."
Stark finally showed a smile now. With Bobaibo's words, he had an explanation for his retreat.
So Starck seemed to be heeding his advice and immediately ordered the troops to turn around and break away from contact with the Nanyang Navy.
And Liu Wei used the telescope on the Yandi to see Daosdark's Far East Fleet begin to turn around, break away from contact, and nodded with satisfaction. Now in the Far East, any navy of any force must live in the shadow of the Nanyang Navy.
After the Pacific Fleet led by Starck turned around, it immediately accelerated towards its home port of Vladivostok.
After several days of sailing, they finally returned to the home port of the Far East Fleet, Heisenwei. Once here, Starck didn't care about the fleet's follow-up arrangements, and got off the ship with Bobaibo directly, and went straight to the telegraph office.
It turned out that the two men had had several discussions on the way back, and the two sides finally reached an agreement: This time, the trip south was interfered with by the Nanyang Navy. Because the naval strength of the two sides was too different, the Pacific Fleet had to turn.
Withdrew from contact with the opponent and saved the Far East Fleet from being completely annihilated.
According to the agreement reached by both parties, this telegram was quickly sent to St. Petersburg.
After receiving the telegram, the Czar was furious. He did not expect that they, who were always known for their toughness, would compromise in front of the cowardly Qing Dynasty.
Nicholas II could not accept such an insult, so he immediately convened a royal meeting and summoned all his important ministers to discuss how to deal with matters in the Far East.
His attitude at this meeting was very clear, which was to be tough, tough, and tougher.
As a result, as soon as he expressed his attitude, Foreign Minister Robanov immediately objected.
"Your Majesty, the current situation is very complicated. In the Far East, the Nanyang Navy is already a naval force that cannot be ignored, and now they have gained control of that sea area. Whether it is economic or military, we have no
Find a way to continue the confrontation with him at that location."
After hearing this, Nicholas II immediately threw the cup in his hand to the ground, and then roared: "Are we going to compromise with each other?"
As soon as he finished speaking, all the ministers below also expressed their opinions, but the general idea was that they did not agree to launch a war in the Far East.
Because it is now very obvious that in terms of naval power, not even the Kyrgyzstan can overwhelm the Nanyang Navy in the Far East, let alone them.
Economically speaking, launching a large-scale war thousands of miles away is unsustainable under current economic conditions.
Nicholas II was helpless when he saw the opposition from his ministers. After all, the country's main interests were in Europe, and the Far East, thousands of miles away, was beyond its reach.
The most important thing is that the major railways have not yet been built. If a land war breaks out with other countries thousands of miles away, and if it cannot be resolved quickly, if the delay is too long, we will run out of ammunition and food.
During this Qing war, the Japanese troops in the interior of Korea completely lost their offensive capabilities due to the lack of supplies. This is a good example.
In the end, Nicholas II had no choice but to compromise on this matter.
Next, the telegram from St. Petersburg was sent to Vladivostok and the Seoul Embassy in North Korea.
After receiving the telegram from St. Petersburg, Wei Beilu and other members of the embassy in North Korea felt frightened. They had no idea that their country would bow to the decadent Manchu dynasty.
Although these people were unwilling to give up such a great opportunity, the empire's orders were never allowed to be disobeyed, so these people had no choice but to send King Ri Xi of Korea and his crown prince out of the embassy in North Korea and handed them over to Zhou Wu.
Zhou Wu, as the highest commander in North Korea appointed by Liu Hai, immediately imprisoned King Li Xi of North Korea in the palace again after regaining control of him, and this time was different from the last time.
In the past, most of the Royal Palace of North Korea was guarded by North Korea itself, and Zhou Wu rarely interfered. But this time Zhou Wu became ruthless and surrounded the palace so tightly that not even a bird could even think about it.
Fly out.
So far, the incident that almost caused a war between Liu Hai and the Rakshasa Kingdom ended like this.
After this incident was over, the Rakshasa people's interests in North Korea suffered a huge blow, and their power almost completely withdrew from North Korea, allowing Liu Hai to completely control North Korea's interests and direction.
After calming down the situation in North Korea, Liu Hai returned his attention to the construction of the Liangjiang area.
Liu Hai is now preparing to build a small but sound industrial base in the Liangjiang area.
In fact, Liu Hai had already made arrangements. A few years ago, Liu Hai imported a batch of industrial equipment from Hyundai.
These equipments are old products that have been eliminated from modern times. They were no longer used at that time and could only be sold as scrap.
But since Liu Hai took over, they will once again exert their remaining heat in this era.
Following Liu Hai's order, large-scale construction began in the entire Liangjiang area.
Especially the Nanjing area has now almost become a large construction site, and various factories outside Nanjing have begun construction at the same time.
The movements of Liu Haizhen were quickly discovered by the Western powers, who excluded various personnel from poking around Liu Haizhen's factory.
As their wallets grew, these Westerners also felt a sense of fear.
Because Liu Hai’s actions this time are not trivial.
If all these factories are built, Liu Hai's industrial base will match that of Europe's second-tier powers.
If coupled with the almost unlimited manpower of the Qing Dynasty, Liu Hai's actual strength can already rival the major European powers.
Originally, these people wanted to carry out sabotage, but what they faced was Xiao Kun's powerful intelligence capabilities, so several actions by the European powers failed.
Xiao Kun had even discovered their traces several times, following this line and almost reaching their lair.
Only then did they realize that Liu Hai's return home was not only a powerful military force, but also his intelligence capabilities began to grow.
Therefore, these great powers temporarily stopped their actions.
However, in order to suppress the hunting rifles in Liu Hai Town, they also negotiated with you, and finally reached an agreement to stop exporting military machinery and equipment to the Liangjiang area.
They hope to delay the rise of bangs through this method.
