Toyo Empire, Prime Minister’s Office.
Admiral Yuzaburo Kato, Prime Minister and Minister of the Navy of the Toyo Empire, Gentaro Yamashita, Minister of Military Command of the Navy, Admiral Hanzo Yamanashi, Minister of War, Senior General Kawai Tsushi, Chief of Army Staff, and Gen. Jiro Otei, Director of Education, were all paying attention to this action.
Although, they have already made up their minds and will not hesitate to take the national fortune as a bet.
But they undoubtedly hope to win this war. If they can succeed, they will be the great heroes of the Eastern Empire. Their future career will also be smooth sailing.
If they fail, then I am afraid that all of them will have to bear responsibility for this.
When the telegram from the combined fleet came back, Senior Admiral Yuzaburo Kato and the others couldn’t help but frown.
“Gentlemen, the combined fleet was not able to successfully attack the Russians. By the time they arrived at the Nemuro naval base, the Russian fleet had already withdrawn first. Now, it is not clear where exactly the fleet of the Russians went. Senior General Yuzaburo Kato said with a frown.
The other high-ranking military officials also had serious expressions.
“So what do we do now?” asked Senior General Yuzaburo Kato~.
“The Combined Fleet must find out the Pacific Fleet of the Russians and annihilate them. Only we can control the seas. Our follow-up battle plan can be successful. The First Army Corps has already begun to land on the island of Hokkaido. If the navy can’t win, won’t it put the Imperial Army in danger?” the Minister of War, Senior General Hanzo Yamanashi, was very dissatisfied.
Previously, the Navy claimed that it would be able to defeat the Pacific Fleet of the Imperial Russian Navy. But I didn’t expect it to be like this. If the navy launched a sneak attack before, there would be a very good chance of victory. So now, the odds are undoubtedly – much smaller.
“The Combined Fleet will continue to look for the Russians’ Pacific Fleet and take them out.” This is the responsibility of the Navy, and the Navy will not shirk it! However, since the Russians have discovered our actions, they will definitely make arrangements accordingly. This is undoubtedly a great threat to the empire. Senior Admiral Gentaro Yamashita, commander of naval orders, said.
“I’ll contact the people right away, it’s time for them to keep their promises.” Senior General Yuzaburo Kato said.
The Sun Never Sets Empire, the Gallic State and the Lighthouse Empire must intercept the other three fleets of the Tsarist Imperial Navy at this time. Otherwise, all these fleets of the Tsarist Imperial Navy rushed to the Far East. Then, the Oriental Imperial Navy is dead!
“The First Army will seize this opportunity to send as many troops as possible to the island of Hokkaido. In addition, the Second Army could also take this opportunity to launch an offensive against the southern part of the Korean Peninsula. Take advantage of the fact that the main army of the Russians does not reach the Far East, defeat the Russians and win a major victory on the battlefield!” said Senior General Kawaika, chief of staff of the army.
The Navy has no problem with this.
Although, now they are all fighting for the fate of the Eastern Empire. However, the Eastern Empire Army and Navy were actually in a state of separate war.
Of course, their goals are the same.
In the Tsugaru Strait, two Katori-class battleships and two Satsuma-class battleships of the Imperial Army of the Toyo Empire were firing heavily at coastal positions near the culvert with 305 mm main guns and other caliber secondary guns.
More than a dozen first-generation kamikaze-class destroyers were also firing fiercely.
Although, the Katori-class battleships and Satsuma-class battleships are old and outdated. However, when attacking the coast, it is still possible to show great strength.
The power of its 305 mm gun is also passable.
Coupled with the dense secondary artillery fire, it was enough to form a huge fire suppression against the enemy positions on the shore.
Garrisoned on the island of Hokkaido was the main force of the 6th Army of the Imperial Russian Army.
The entire 6th Army of the Russian Empire had ten infantry divisions, one armored division, one cavalry brigade and one heavy artillery brigade.
The Russian Empire had long anticipated that once war broke out, Hokkaido would become the main direction of attack for the Orientals. Therefore, the main forces of the 6th Army were deployed here. (Read violent novels, go on Feilu Fiction Network!)
Six of the ten infantry divisions were deployed on the island of Hokkaido. In addition to this, armored divisions and heavy artillery brigades were deployed on the island.
Of the other four infantry divisions, three were deployed on the Korean Peninsula. One of the Divine Domains was deployed in the Primorsky region of the Far East of the Russian Empire. The 6th Cavalry Brigade was also deployed in the Primorsky region of the Far East of the Russian Empire.
It was the 56th Infantry Division of the Imperial Russian Army that was defended.
However, the 56th Infantry Division of the Imperial Russian Army did not build strong coastal fortifications in the overhead.
They were well aware that when the Orientals launched an attack, they would inevitably prepare fierce firepower. Unless a large number of large-caliber coastal defense guns are deployed here, it will simply not be able to resist.
Moreover, the Imperial Russian Navy was strong enough to ensure control of the strait and keep the Oriental people out of it.
Even if the Pacific Fleet of the Imperial Russian Navy was dragged, they could evacuate the culvert and release the sun into the island of Hokkaido.
After the Imperial Russian Navy defeated the Oriental navy, it could cut off the Orientals’ retreat at any time and cooperate with the army to annihilate the Orientals’ army.
Therefore, when the Oriental navy began to shell fiercely, the 56th Infantry Division of the Tsarist Imperial Navy immediately retreated, and there was no need to make senseless sacrifices.
But they were on the second line of defense outside the range of the Orientals’ naval guns, relying on the terrain, ready to block the Orientals.
At the same time, the Second Army of the Orientals also began to cross the Tsushima Strait, preparing to land on the Goryeo Peninsula and launch an attack on the Kingdom of Goryeo.
The Sun Never Sets Empire, the Gallic Kingdom and the Beacon Country, after learning that the Oriental people have already started. Moreover, when they were not yet able to raid the Russians’ Pacific Fleet, they knew that it was time for them to come forward.
The combined fleet of the Orientals was not able to successfully attack the Pacific Fleet of the Imperial Russian Navy. Then, the odds of winning are undoubtedly much smaller.
If the rest of the fleets of the Russian Navy arrived in the Far East, the Eastern Empire would be dead.
Naturally, they would not be willing to watch the Russian Empire win easily.
On May 14, 1823, the Mediterranean Fleet of the Imperial Navy and the Mediterranean Fleet of the Gallic Navy announced a military exercise in Gibraltar to blockade the entire strait. At the same time, the Suez Canal forbids the passage of warships of any country.
