The first thousand two hundred and sixty-eight chapters shelling Vladivostok
1915 not only represents the deepening and fierce development of the European War, but also represents the intensification of the Asian War. Not only from the Battle of the Middle East at the beginning of the year to the current battle between Russia and China and Siberia, the core of the entire world, above the Eurasian continent, from the East to the West, with clouds of wars, the entire world, and countries after industrialization have been involved in the entire war, and more than 70% of the world's population and industry have also entered the field of war.
The northern fleet entered the Tsushima Strait and was about to approach Vladivostok. The navy was in action and had dispatched a huge northern fleet. When it was preparing to attack Vladivostok from the sea, the army was also preparing that the navy could decide the outcome of a war, but if it wanted to win the fruits of the war, it would have to dispatch the army.
Haven't you seen more than 10 years ago, during the Boer War, the British Empire had the most powerful warships in the world, and could easily increase troops and supplies to South Africa. However, the lack of power of the army almost made the British Empire kneel. In a Boer War, the British Empire almost damaged its vitality. It was not Boer's huge gold and diamonds, which made up for the dry wallets of the British. Therefore, the British Empire did not decline completely, but it was already a wake-up call.
Under the current war situation, Russia's Pacific Fleet has almost no strength. If it were the Chinese fleet that could be said to be a threat to serve the main battleship six or seven years ago, it might be possible that if it were the northern fleet with 6 main battleships, more than 20 heavy patrols, a large number of light patrols, destroyers, and even ocean submarines, it was not of the same level at all, and naval battles would break out. However, the scale was definitely not large, with China's investigation of Vladivostok. The number of land-based artillery batteries on the offshore Vladivostok was huge, which could destroy this. It just destroyed Vladivostok's defense, and at most it would make him completely destroy the sea surface.
As the location of the Russian Far East Command, Vladivostok is not only the core of the Pacific Fleet, but also the core of the army. Even if the Chita was cut off in China and the Russian army in the Far East was divided into two completely cut directions, it still maintained its role. At present, the entire Vladivostok has perfect land defense, and very few naval naval guns can reach it.
For safety reasons, naval ships cannot enter the dangerous area of 8 kilometers, because no matter how backward Russia is, it has a range of at least 8 kilometers. In this case, the maximum range will not exceed 10 kilometers and be 10 kilometers away from the sea. Even the periphery of Vladivostok City has not even reached the periphery of Vladivostok, let alone the defense line widely distributed on the periphery. This time, the naval operation is only to destroy the defense of Vladivostok facing the sea. It will make a perfect defense circle and create a crack. When the army is in place in the future, there can be gaps to drill.
At this time, in order to attack East and West Siberia this time, a large number of troops were gathering. In the past winter, in the northeast, in Xinjiang, and in Mongolia, a series of preparations were made. When spring came, all troops had already gathered on the Yalu River and Heilongjiang. Once Russia took action, they would immediately attack Russia's Far East while Russia was empty, and directly attacked Russia's Far East and strive to take down the huge land here to the Arctic Ocean. This is an important goal of the General Staff and also contains the entire ambition of China.
Land is the carrier of population. Although the land in the far east and west Siberia has extremely harsh natural conditions, for Russia, the Far East is just a barren land and the cold center of the world. It is not suitable for human growth. They own more land, and they will not look at it here without any problems with resources.
Historically, the Soviet Union was the same. Under the premise that Baku could provide huge oil, they would not look east until Baku's reserves were approaching the end. In order to find more oil resources, they developed the second Baku and the third Baku. The Soviet Union and later Russia took over the historical heritage. In terms of resources, even the United States could not compare with them.
For Russia of this era, the Far East is still a barren land. If it were not for the bridgehead of the Yellow Russian plan, they would not even look at it. However, for China, this is a treasure land. Unlike the northwest of China, the ecological community is extremely weak. The transformation of the northwest to the northwest is more about protecting the ecology of the northwest so that it will not deteriorate.
The Far East is completely different from them. In the high-altitude zone, except for the particularly cold climate, there are no other problems. It has prosperous animal and plant resources, and the ecosystem is quite perfect. It is not harmful to even develop it. Nature's fault tolerance is very strong. What's more, in order to ensure the environment of the entire China in the future, China cannot adopt a devastating development path. As long as it maintains a slightly more radical approach than the northwest, it can maintain the stability of the natural environment while obtaining sufficient benefits.
Unlike the Northwest and Mongolia regions, which are extremely water-deficient, the entire Siberia is a high-altitude zone, but it is not lacking in water. Not to mention Lake Baikal, the largest freshwater lake in the world, accounts for one-sixth of the world's freshwater surface runoff. In other words, the huge water system spread throughout Siberia, which is equivalent to the amount of water of countless Yangtze Rivers every year, and is injected into the Arctic Ocean in vain. This is a huge waste.
Extracting part of the water from the middle or reducing the water injection of Lake Baikal into the Arctic Ocean is a great choice if the amount of water saved is saved. It can either be transferred to deserts such as Mongolia and Xinjiang, which are water-deficient in the south, or used as industrial water. It is a good choice.
Water is the source of life. Where there is water, there are traces of life. From ancient times to the present, most of the major cities are built next to water, with one or several major rivers, and millions of square kilometers of land. On the premise of ensuring the environment, even 5% of animal and plant resources is a huge wealth, not to mention active transformation and artificial breeding. In Russia's view, this is a big burden and a barren land, but for Chinese people who are good at creation and production, this is an absolute treasure land. Even if it is 30 people per square kilometer, the entire East Siberia, the land of more than 3 million square kilometers is enough to accommodate nearly 100 million people. How important is this for China in the future.
The cold cannot stop the hard work of the Chinese. The sooner they get it, the sooner they can create enough value. There is no problem with how much troops they invest for such a piece of land. At present, Siberia has more than 2 million troops. One part of this is the army of the original Russian Far East Military Region. Another part is organized for self-rescue after China occupied Chita. If we want to deal with such a large army and do a good job in occupation and protection, it is absolutely impossible to mobilize less troops. The front-line troops prepared 1.5 million in the northwest, and there are also a large number of second-line troops. These troops will undertake the next war against East-West Siberia and strive to include millions of square kilometers of land in the entire East-West Siberia into China's territory in 1915 and the latest in 1916.
The navy will always be the first wave. After the fleet led by Cheng Biguang broke through the Tsushima Strait smoothly and confirmed that Japan would not take action, it sailed northward and quickly broke through Vladivostok. It was about April 7, 1915 and arrived near Vladivostok. After a short supply operation, the war started on April 9, 1915.
At this time, the troops of the Russian Far East Military Region were still trying to conquer Chita, and the huge warships of the northern fleet suddenly appeared outside Vladivostok. Vladivostok was operated by Russia for many years. As a fortress and naval base, they were strong enough and did not panic because of the appearance of a large number of enemy warships. However, the sirens still sounded, and the entire Vladivostok became boiling.
To be honest, after entering the 20th century, Vladivostok was really in the Russian sequence. He was once captured during the Russo-Japanese War in 1906, but now he is still firmly in the hands of the Russians.
With the help of the height of the fort, the commander of the Russian Far Eastern Front and the commander of the Pacific Fleet were both observing the group of warships far away from the sea at the fort. Both commanders were knowledgeable in the naval field and could see several huge warships in the core area of the only fleet group at a glance.
The two commanders sighed at the same time, especially the commander of the Russian Pacific Fleet. Since the Pacific Fleet was severely damaged in the Russo-Japanese War in 1906, it has not recovered. Instead, China, which has recently risen, has a main ship.
Looking at several huge warships, if the British Navy were there, you would definitely recognize that the fleet of Genshell was basically the same, but the fleet of Genshell was clearly in Europe.
Although Russia didn't know, the huge warships that suddenly appeared here knew at a glance that they seemed to be new main battleships. They didn't dare to let the fleet leave the port. Compared with the old and weak warships of the Pacific Fleet, they believed more about the roadbed turrets, and with the help of the landbed turrets, they could counterattack them and even win.
The Northern Fleet has been approaching, and the navy attacks the military port. The possibility of a raid is extremely low. It is not an aircraft. It can be above 500 kilometers per hour, with a maximum speed of 25 knots. It takes an hour to approach from 20 nautical miles away. At a glance, observers can see 20 nautical miles or even further, which is completely fine.
Six main battleships took the lead, surrounded by heavy patrols and light patrols. As for destroyers, they formed a defense circle with the submarines 3 nautical miles away. Even if the Pacific Fleet could not be dispatched or counterattacked, they must be protected. This is a good habit.
The northern fleet kept approaching, and only stopped when it was about 12 nautical miles away. This was already a threat to the range of artillery. In this battle, it was mainly to destroy land-based turrets. This distance is good, which is both safe and efficient. (To be continued.) Mobile users, please visit http://m.piaotian.net
