Chapter 194 The Anticipation That The Sun Never Sets (Fourth, Please Subscribe!)
The current combined fleet of the Eastern Empire Navy is definitely strong and powerful.
Two "Fuji-class" battleships, four "Shikishima-class" battleships, plus five "Sovereign-class" battleships, a total of 11 battleships constitute the core of the combined fleet.
In addition to these battleships, there is also a large main force of armored cruisers, including two Asama-class armored cruisers, Yakumo armored cruiser, Azuma armored cruiser, two Izumo-class armored cruisers, Two 'Kasuga-class' armored cruisers, 6 'Cressy-class' armored cruisers and 1 'Drake-class' armored cruisers.
Especially the 7 armored cruisers purchased from the Empire on which the sun never sets have very powerful performance. Enough to deal with Russian armored cruisers.
Plus 10 "Apollo-class" protected cruisers, and the Eastern Imperial Navy's own 17 protected cruisers. and 23 destroyers. This kind of strength, even in the whole world, can definitely be regarded as a first-class maritime power.
This also made the Eastern Empire Navy full of confidence, thinking that it would be able to defeat the Tsarist Russian Empire Navy in one fell swoop in the next sea decisive battle and win the victory.
If the Oriental Empire Navy wins this battle. Then, they will make great contributions to the Eastern Empire. They will be the heroes of the Eastern Empire.
Coupled with the very poor performance of the Eastern Empire Army on the battlefield, in comparison with the two, the status of the Eastern Navy will inevitably rise in a straight line. Even, they can take advantage of this opportunity to grab more power.
You know, the Navy Division of the Eastern Empire also covets the position of prime minister.
If they won this battle cleanly. Well, here's their chance.
"Yamamoto-kun, the decisive battle between the imperial navy and the Russians will break out soon. Therefore, we don't need to worry. After the navy defeats the Russians, the army will be mobilized in full time." Admiral Katsuraro- Said.
Lieutenant General Gonbei Yamamoto nodded without saying anything.
Anyway, the high level of the Eastern Empire Navy is very confident in themselves.
Time passed little by little, and at the end of June, the Combined Fleet of the Eastern Empire Navy left the Sasebo Naval Base again.
This time, the huge fleet will go straight to the South China Sea, looking for an opportunity to fight a decisive battle with the Tsarist Russian Empire Navy.
All the battleships of the United Fleet, 11 battleships, 15 armored cruisers, 27 protected cruisers and 23 destroyers were all dispatched.
It can be said that this time the Oriental Empire Navy has pulled out all its wealth. If the Russians have not been defeated this time, then the Navy of the Eastern Empire would be too rubbish.
Of course, the navy of the Eastern Empire is very confident in themselves.
At the same time, in far away Europe, on the mainland of the Empire on which the sun never sets, the top officials of the Empire on which the sun never sets also paid close attention to the war between the Eastern Empire and the Tsarist Russian Empire.
As the masters of the Orientals, they naturally hope that the Eastern Empire can defeat the Tsarist Russian Empire in this battle, causing the Tsarist Russian Empire to suffer heavy losses, and curbing the development of the Tsarist Russian Empire.
In this case, their layout over the years is not in vain. Their investment over the years is also worthwhile.
Among other things, just selling a large number of active warships of the Royal Navy to the Oriental Empire, and even the sailors of the Royal Navy were hired by the Orientals. This is something that the Royal Navy has never had before.
It can be seen from this that the empire on which the sun never sets has made great efforts and paid a great price to help the Orientals.
The sun never sets on the mainland of the empire, the capital of fog, and the prime minister's office.
Prime Minister Arthur Bell summoned War Secretary Arnold Foster and Admiralty Lord Walter Kerr to ask their judgment on the battle.
"The performance of the Orientals on the battlefield seems to be a little hip, and they are not as powerful as they claimed before! I am very doubtful now, can they really defeat the Russians? Or, the Russians are too powerful! asked Prime Minister Arthur Bell.
"Your Excellency, the performance of the Eastern Empire Army on the battlefield is indeed unsatisfactory. They have also invested a large number of troops on the battlefield, the absolute main force. From the data we have obtained, the troops used by the Eastern Empire Army , has exceeded one million. However, they still have not been able to defeat the Russians. You must know that the Russians did not use more troops than them. Even the Orientals suffered a great loss in the battle with the Russians. Paid a very heavy price.

According to our observers' understanding of the situation on the battlefield, the Dongyang people are still very brave. Even in battle, he is not afraid of death. This kind of will to fight is already amazing, even the Imperial Army is far from being able to compare with them.
However, the combat power of the Russians is even stronger. The main performance is that they equipped their troops with a large number of artillery, not only equipped with a large number of howitzers and field artillery, but also equipped with a portable small-caliber artillery. In addition, the Russians equipped the troops with a large number of heavy machine guns. This makes their firepower extremely powerful. Especially in defensive operations, the Russians' firepower superiority is even more vivid.

This also made the Orientals bravely charge even though they were brave enough to die, but they were still unable to break through the Russian defenses, and instead they were beaten to death by the Russians' powerful firepower.
lost heavily. "
Arnold Foster said.
Prime Minister Arthur Bell had a serious expression on his face.
"So now it seems that the Russians are stronger than we expected before. Then, can the Orientals defeat the Russians on the land battlefield?" Prime Minister Arthur Bell seemed a little worried.
"Your Excellency, the Orientals did not have an advantage on the battlefield. However, the Orientals did not give up hope. They have retrained millions of troops in their homeland. These troops will soon be devoted to On the battlefield. At that time, the Dongyang people will give full play to their superiority in military strength, so as to make up for the gap in firepower between the two sides, and defeat the Russians in one fell swoop. However, the Japanese army is waiting for the navy, waiting for their navy After defeating the Russian navy, these six ranks of the Orientals will all be put into the battle without any worries. At that time, the Orientals should be able to win." Arnold Foster continued.
"Then, the next war seems to be even more exciting." Prime Minister Arthur Bell had a smile on his face.
