Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The navy, in the world at the beginning of the twentieth century, has become the most important symbol of national power!  At the same time, it is also the ultimate manifestation of the foreign plundering capabilities of great powers!

    Some people say: "The army is destined to become a cannonball fired from the muzzle of the naval cannon!" For those colonial countries of the great powers, the navy is terrifying because of its mobility that far exceeds that of the army.  With capabilities, those countries with navies may come to your door at any time, seize your merchant ships, bombard your land, find places to land on the long coastline of the country, and aim their deadly sharp blades at the capital of a country.  The kind of weapon that forces them to sign a humiliating contract with the king and sell out the rights of the country and the people!

    That is actually not just a weapon, but a symbol, a symbol of power and power, a dominant force called hegemony!

    Only by possessing a powerful navy can a country escape the fate of being threatened and further put its will above the interests of other countries. In the dialogue between empires, the navy is the fist of each side, and its size  , directly determines the loudness of the voices of both sides in the international game of great powers, and more realistically - the size of the empire's ultimate interests!

    A country without a navy is destined to be threatened and live in humiliation under the blade of other countries' navies!

    People who have never been to this era will find it difficult to understand the impact that the navy of this era has on the spirit of a country and nation.  Of course, going further, it will be more difficult to understand the tragic and despair of China and Japan fighting for victory in the Dadonggou naval battle in the past. It can be said that in that era, behind every naval soldier stood  Looking at millions of compatriots, looking at them eagerly with eyes full of expectation!

    Navy!

    The eternal sorrow in the hearts of the people of the former empire!

    Now at this moment, everything is about to change!

    Although the Imperial Navy has only a dozen ships and a total fleet of less than 10,000 people, the East China Sea Fleet is extremely confident of victory at this moment.

    ¡­¡­

    "A huge airship, what is that? An army with airships as the main force? What will it be like in combat?" Combined Fleet Commander Togo Heihachiro was still thinking about this question when he walked up to the command tower. From the Imperial Staff Headquarters  The intelligence shows that in the current Chinese Empire, there is a unit of the Communist Party, which has demonstrated combat effectiveness beyond the imagination of the great powers in several battles!  Possibly a threat to the Empire.  So far, the Imperial Intelligence Department does not have accurate information about it.

    Although this kind of unplanned factor will not affect Dongxiang's war will to lead the Imperial Japanese Navy fleet to victory, it still makes him have a little thought that does not belong to the navy!

    ??????????As an excellent navy man, he should have a natural sense of urgency.  In this era, the navy is the service with the fastest technological upgrading and the service with the highest average level of knowledge. It is completely understandable that every new military technological advancement will have an impact on a country's war strength.

    As the leading technical expert among naval generals in the entire East, Dongxiang has never stopped paying attention to the latest developments in military technology.  It¡¯s not like I don¡¯t know anything about airships and airplanes hovering in the sky!  Just how could something like this suddenly evolve to appear as the main force in the war?  Is it really just relying on airship pilots to drop bombs below?

    It¡¯s hard to imagine the psychology of Togo Heihachiro. Naturally, there is a little worry at this moment, a feeling that he seems to have foreseen something, but he can¡¯t figure out where this dangerous foresight comes from.  This is an intuition developed by a veteran who has experienced countless dangerous battlefields, but sometimes, it does come true.

    "Send a signal, change the planned route, turn 30 degrees to the north, bypass Jeju Island and then drive along the coast of the Imperial Korean Peninsula, so that the Imperial Navy and Army along the coast can prepare for support. In addition" Dongxiang stopped and thought for a moment.  He thought, and then said: "Start the radio communication system, all other ships are ready to listen at any time, and the entire fleet is in preparation for war!" Dongxiang issued military orders one by one in a deep voice,

    In this way, you should be able to avoid the danger that you feel in the dark!  Dongxiang thought.

    The new battleship Satsuma, the flagship of the combined fleet at your feet, has been in service for just one and a half years. It is the empire's first domestically produced battleship. In the early stages of construction, the whole country was ambitious and tried their best to build the most powerful battleship in the world.  , to expand the territory for the future of the empire, the keel was laid in 1905.

    It was only later that the Russo-Japanese War almost brought down the imperial economy, and the construction time had to be delayed. It was not until last year that the water was successfully launched, and it was not possible to save costs.Not only did it reduce its armament, it only installed four Type 41 12-inch 45-caliber main guns, and before it was launched, it faced the fate of being eliminated instantly because of the service of British dreadnoughts. But no matter what in Asia  , it is still difficult to find opponents.

    The huge hull with a displacement of nearly 20,000 tons and a length of 137 meters began to turn after Dongxiang's order was issued. It cut through the thorns and obstacles. When the steel of the hull was horizontally subjected to the huge momentum of the water flow, it sent out a wave*  The faint fluctuations of unwillingness were transmitted layer by layer along the hull, making Togo, who had spent most of his life on the battleship, feel a familiar feeling, as if he was driving the cruiser Naniwa in the naval battle of the Sino-Japanese War.  , the feeling of rushing forward in the waves and delivering a fatal blow to the enemy's battleship!

    The long-lost passion comes to my heart, along with the familiar sense of security that seems to be protected by the God of War!

    Dongxiang smiled casually, feeling proud, and instantly put aside his previous worries. With the Satsuma and the more powerful Anyun of the same class, these two battleships are the best in Asian waters, what's the point?  !  When the enemy arrived, they bombarded him. Is there anything on the sea in this world that the steel and fire of the Japanese Empire could not conquer?  Hahaha, ridiculous!

    The combined fleet under the command of the Japanese naval god Togo Heihachiro, with the cruiser detachment as the leader, rushed towards the waters outside the Okinawa Islands.  Time, November 6, 1911, four o'clock in the afternoon.

    The spark-type wireless telegraph is the new darling of military technology applications in this era. It is used in the navy. It has a steam engine power generation system as an AC power source and uses a relay to control the switch to generate sparks. Its electromagnetic fluctuation spectrum is very wide.  , received by a distant antenna as a transmission signal.

    The entire system works like a huge interference circuit with very high power requirements. The transmitter and power generation system can easily weigh hundreds of kilograms or even tons, and the receiving antenna is definitely not much lighter.  From the perspective of modern time and space, this kind of thing is like an extremely effective interference source. In the area where it is located, huge power discharge fluctuations can interfere with surrounding wireless communications over long distances.  Compared with things like mobile phones, they are simply too weak.  I'm afraid if one of its signals is sent out, the mobile phone receiving circuit chips within hundreds of meters will be immediately scrapped!

    But in this era, this is an out-and-out new military technology, and no one can really take the so-called electromagnetic radiation seriously.  At this moment, there is a mobile phone in the middle of the Katori, which can replace the old semaphore in the war and make battlefield communication much simpler and more effective!

    Japan is also a country that always follows the pace of the times and constantly makes new technological innovations.

    At 17:30, the Asama of the First Cruiser Division of the Japanese Combined Fleet sailed to the east longitude and north latitude of, less than fifty kilometers away from the islands in the Okinawa Islands. The setting sun reflected on the Asama's long and narrow hull.  , the last ray of warm sunshine in winter, with its warmth, warmed the officers and soldiers on the deck of the ship at this time.  Kobayashi Zetsu, the gunner of the former main gun turret, wiped his eyes and stretched out beautifully in the sunshine. He thought of his beautiful wife in his hometown, and he was feeling a little like a god.  The chief officer on the deck next to him led several military police officers over:

    "Bag! Now we are ready for war. Xiaolin, how can you still be so slack! I think you don't want to die under the gunfire of the Chinese, but you want to be cut in two by my sword!"  As he spoke, the irritable Feng Jichang was about to pull out the command knife from his waist and slash at him, but the people around him quickly held him back!

    Xiao Lin quickly bowed his head and apologized, his face turned purple from fright.  Having been on this battleship for a long time, he has already understood the irritable habits of Feng Jichang, who is feared by everyone on the ship. Although he knows that it is absolutely impossible to really cut off this guy's sword, but in  At this time, if you are remembered by this guy, what you have to face next will definitely be a very unpleasant experience.

    Who doesn¡¯t know this guy, the more he goes through drills and training, the more grumpy he becomes, and he will bite someone to death if caught. He is one of the people on the ship that Xiao Lin is the most unwilling to face!

    Why!  How could he be knocked down by this guy?  Xiao Linjue couldn't help but lament in his heart!

    More than a dozen people on the deck were surrounding, making noise in a small area of ??the front main turret, but Feng Jichang unexpectedly turned up his voice loudly, foaming at the mouth, almost drowning poor Xiao Linjue's short body in his own terrifying words.  While salivating in the sea, suddenly, a battle siren sounded across the sky. The harsh sound almost tore people's eardrums, making everyone stunned for a moment, and then a group of people scattered in all directions in the blink of an eye.  Find your position and prepare to fight.

     The battle has begun!

    Ahead, a signal from the imperial cruiser squadron discovered the enemy!  (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!)
