Chapter 90:Red Alert's Three Major Fleets Mobilize

The sound of the melodious whistle sounded from the sea, and the huge Russian Second Pacific Fleet, from the Golden Bay, went straight to the East Sea.

In the distance of the mist-filled South China Sea, the Red Guards First Fleet, quietly lying on the edge of Borneo, watching the Russian fleet go far.

The Japanese had already opened their nets in the East China Sea, waiting for the Russian fleet to enter the urn.

On the flagship 101 ship of the Red Guards First Fleet, Fan Yize stood on the observation deck of the command bridge, looked at the Russian fleet that was far away, and said to Luo Haiping: "The fleet departs after 20 minutes, and keep the speed of 11 knots, Russia will choose to enter the East Sea from the vicinity of Baodao, and we will enter the East Sea from the Miyako Strait."

Luo Haiping, who was next to Fan Yize, nodded and turned to give the order of the fleet to set out.

The Red Guards Navy's First Fleet has only dispatched two battleships with two cruisers and four destroyers, which is relatively comparable to the strength of the Japanese and Russian navies, and is completely negligible in terms of the number of warships.

The fleet slowly set out, at least 30 kilometers away from the Russian fleet, and did not follow the meaning of the Russian fleet, and the distance between the two sides was also rapidly increasing.

This gave Rozdvinsky, the commander of Russia’s Second Pacific Fleet, breathless relief.

Fan Yize's fleet, more than a year ago, defeated the British Far Eastern Fleet, has long been famous in the world.

Although the outside world does not understand this fleet, but the powerful image, has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

No one can not pinch Fan Yize's pulse, the Russian Second Pacific Fleet was already deeply disturbed, behind it if it followed Fan Yize's fleet, I am afraid to go to Vladivostack.

Fortunately, the fleet under Fan Yize soon moved away from the Russian fleet, and as the commander of the fleet, Lozdvinsky was very unsettled.

A year has passed since the order of Nicholas II last year, and from the day he was given, Rozdvinsky did not sleep for a day.

The Russian military is a bureaucratically ill man, and Rozdvinsky has been angry since the first day he received the order.

In the 19th century, Russia promised in the London Treaty that the Russian Black Sea Fleet could not enter the Mediterranean Sea through the Dardanelles and the Bosphorus.

That is to say, the Russian Black Sea Fleet is a completely defensive fleet, with no other role than patrolling the Black Sea deep inland, so the only naval force available to Russia is the Baltic Fleet.

After Nicholas II decided to send the European and Russian fleets, the original Pacific Fleet was renamed the First Pacific Fleet, and assigned the Eastern Support Fleet to the Second Pacific Fleet, and Lieutenant General Rozdvinsky was appointed commander of the Second Pacific Fleet.

However, from that moment on, Lozdweńdełłensky was in full swing, the First Pacific Fleet was completely anniered by the Japanese joint fleet, and did not change the habits of the Russian bureaucracy.

Rozdvinsky repeatedly wrote to Nicholas II inconvertible, but can only be patient and ready.

Every application, every adjustment, requires the approval of multiple layers of bureaucrats, the speed is extremely slow, often unable to pass.

And at that time, the Baltic Fleet, and three main battleships were not built, and the sailors were far from enough to draw skilled sailors from the First Fleet.

Rozdvinsky could only recruit sailors on the spot, and many of them did not even go to sea, and after simple training, he followed the fleet.

The whole preparation is nearly five months.

And because the tonnage of the main Russian warships in this period was about 15,000 tons, it could not shorten the voyage through the Suez Canal, and could only pass from the west coast of Africa, bypass the Cape of Good Hope, and then follow Madagascar, and then stick to the eastern coast of Africa, which crossed the Indian Ocean from the international shipping lanes.

From the North Atlantic to the Pacific Ocean, the Russian fleet took more than seven months.

When it arrived at the bay of Kinlan, the fleet could not have had time to maintain, the speed of the fleet was reduced to only eleven knots, and the hull was covered with marine microorganisms, and the hull increased its resistance.

And long-distance travel down, the captain of the Russian sailors, a large number of people suffering from the disease, and even all the way over, there are many people sick to death.

The fleet, both morale and combative, had fallen to the freezing point.

Now Lozdweinsky wanted most of all, to do everything possible to enter Vladivostya, without a resting fleet, how to fight with the Japanese fleet.

Most importantly, Rozdvinsky had no heart in his heart for commanding the steel fleet.

In contrast, the Japanese joint fleet has long been fist-wielding, waiting for the next final battle with Russia.

Ignoring the idea of Lozdvinsky at this moment, Fan Yize stood on the deck and admired the beautiful sea.

Luo Haiping in the command center, helped Fan Yize bring a cup of tea and said, "Commander, you really shouldn't be with the fleet."It is too dangerous for the naval operations of this period, the flagships are the primary targets.”

"That's when I don't exist."He said quietly.

The crucial war was coming, and after more than a year of silence in Jakarta, Fan Yize also wanted to come out and walk.

Of course, Fan Yize is also very clear, because he will bring a lot of trouble to the underground soldiers on the warship, but in Fan Yize's view, this is also a test for his subordinates.

Moreover, the next naval battle, the First Fleet is not the main attack mission, the danger is not very large.

Luo Haiping did not continue to persuade his commander, because he knew very well that he said that he was useless.

And in the heart, Luo Haiping actually hopes that the commander will stay in the fleet, which will further improve the already high morale.

“Just after the intelligence ship, three supply ships of the Russian fleet are leaving the fleet, and the target should be the port of the East Sea in the home.”Luo Haiping said.

"Then the Japanese will soon get the news, it seems that the Russian fleet can't avoid the destruction of the Strait of Malaysia."He said lightly.

“According to the speed of the Russian fleet, the battle should take place around noon four days later.”Luo Haiping said.

“Then let the Second Fleet, the Third Fleet, in the night of four days, move in silence to the Strait of the Horse, and the objectives of the 1st Fleet remain unchanged.”Fan Yize said.

The three fleets, gathered in the East China Sea, Fan Yize does not intend to let go of any warship on both sides, only all anniography, can be a chore, completely control the sea power.
