The first point is that after the war, the Russian Navy quickly expanded its navy with the support of Britain and France to cope with the expansion of the German Navy. New warships such as Gangut-class battleships and Izmael-class fast battleships quickly appeared on the ship platform. Therefore, from this perspective, the Russian Navy can replenish a large number of new warships in a short period of time, so there is no need to return the already outdated Liurik-class warships. The warships that returned to the Baltic Sea that participated in the Russian-Japanese Naval Battle were later retired because these warships performed too poorly. It can be seen that the Russian Baltic fleet did not lack ships.

Secondly, in this plane, Turkey rejected the request of the Russian fleet to pass the Black Sea. With the support of Germany, Turkey refused any Russian warships to enter and exit the Dardanelles at any time, so the plan of four Liurik-class armored cruisers to return to the Black Sea was ruined. When signing a warship purchase agreement with Germany, there was an additional clause, that is, four Liurik-class warships could not be deployed in the Baltic Sea. Although as Russia stood on the side of the British, Germany and Russia were already potential enemies, the Russian government did not need to stimulate the Russians too much for the four outdated warships. Anyway, Russia has time to wait for the new ship to be launched.

Considering that the Russian Pacific Fleet still needs some warships to serve as facades, the four Liurik-class fast battleships were finally left in the Far East. As for why these warships did not participate in the Indian Ocean military operations in World War I? This reason is a bit embarrassing, because before the war started, the power systems of these four warships were being replaced and repaired, including replacing new boilers and replacing inefficient vertical steam engines with efficient steam turbines.

However, after the outbreak of the war, Russia's resources were tight, so the replacement and maintenance work became delayed. Therefore, these warships were either in ports or in Taichung during World War I, and did not participate in the war. What was so desperate was that after the collapse of the Normanov dynasty, the Japanese took advantage of the situation to occupy the Russian Far East, and the whereabouts of these warships were unknown. I don't know if they sank themselves, destroyed, or encountered something else...

"The things are a bit troublesome now. The Russians were preparing to modify these guys before the war broke out, including changing the double-class second-class main gun to a single-mounted 12-inch gun. I don't know how advanced the project has been. If the Japanese can still use it after repairing it, it is really not good news for us. It is equivalent to adding 4 second-class dreadnoughts out of thin air, and the speed is very fast." Su Xiong frowned and said.

"If I remember correctly, the Liurik-class warships had a speed of more than 22 knots in the previous trial voyage. If they were replaced with steam turbines and new boilers, then the speed still had potential to improve. The maximum speed was hard to say, but it was definitely faster than those iron turtles in the United States. The only ones who could catch up with them were our new armored cruisers, and the latter probably could not beat these guys. More importantly, the Japanese had up to 4 such warships in their hands. If they were completely repaired, both the frontal battlefield and the battlefield would cause us some trouble." Raidel said seriously.

"I think it's necessary for us to remind Americans." Su Xiong said.

"Yes." Raidel nodded and said. "It seems that 70% of us may have to look for these Japanese warships in the vast Pacific Ocean in the future. Just like Thomas was looking for us."

"It's really troublesome." Su Xiong finally sighed. However, what Su Xiong didn't expect was that they had ignored not only the battleships, but also other battleships!

Just when the Germans realized that the old ships of the Russian Far East Fleet might cause them great trouble, this trouble was turning into reality in the berths of the far-off Japanese Kawasaki Shipyard! In the berths of berths of Kawasaki Shipyard, two huge warships were undergoing final outfitting.

"Looking at this warship, I feel like I traveling through time and space." Yamamoto Iroku looked at the former enemy in front of me and sighed. Ten years ago, in the decisive battle between Japan and Russia, Yamamoto Iroku's armored cruiser Asahi was destroyed by these two warships in front of me. There were more than 800 people in the ship, and only less than 150 people lived, and he was one of them. However, now, time has changed, and when Russia collapsed, these two Russian warships built by Germany, which once feared the Japanese Navy, finally came to the Japanese ship platform. What makes people feel that fate is that Yamamoto Iroku will become the captain of one of the warships after being promoted to colonel!

"Although it's a bit old, it's still very sharp. After maintenance, they will gallop on the sea again." said Koga Fengichi on the side. This guy is the reserve captain of another warship. If nothing unexpected happens, Yamamoto Izuru and Koga Fengichi will be incorporated into a team, with Yamamoto Izuru as the commander of the team!

"Do you know how to arrange us in the future?" Koga Feng asked.

"How could I know? The main force of the Japanese joint fleet has gone south, and almost all the military leaders have passed, and we are still in the local area, how could I know what the military headquarters has arranged for us?" Yamamoto Izuru frowned and said with some displeasure. There is a reason for Koga Feng to ask this, because Yamamoto Izuru has a very NB adoptive father named Yamamoto Kyotoe...

The well-deserved boss of the Japanese Navy! Yamamoto Iroku was originally named Iroku Takano. He adopted him from the Takano family to the Yamamoto family. Yamamoto Iroku now has the captain of this warship, and it may be due to family background. After all, these two warships can also be called main ships. Before, Yamamoto Iroku was just a rank of lieutenant colonel, and is about to be promoted to the colonel, and directly serves as the captain of the main ship and the temporary commander of the squadron. This is actually a bit beyond that. So Koga Fengichi believes that Yamamoto Iroku may get some internal news, right? (In history, Yamamoto Iroku was a major at the same time, but the major is unlikely to be the captain of the main ship, and even the lieutenant colonel is on the verge of being on the verge of the squadron, so a level needs to be upgraded here. Well.)

"Then let's speculate. I remember that the senior's hammock number is very high." Koga Fengichi said with a smile.

"In theory, we will be included in the main fleet because our main fleet is a little small. Although Liulik is outdated, its speed is good at least and its defense is barely reasonable. The addition of four Liulik-class battleships will help make up for the shortcomings of our battleship team. But the actual situation will not be like this." Yamamoto Iroku said after thinking about it.
