Tsarist Empire, Far East, Hokkaido Island, Nemuro Military Port.
It has become the home port of the Pacific Fleet of the Russian Imperial Navy.
Admiral Kuznetsov, commander of the Pacific Fleet of the Imperial Russian Navy, had already received a telegram from the Admiralty.
However, the Admiralty has not yet informed the Pacific Fleet of the complete battle plan, but only asked them to be prepared, and the Oriental and Beacon Country people are very likely to launch a surprise attack on the Pacific Fleet.
It also demanded that the Pacific Fleet be prepared to evacuate Nemuro Military Port and go to the Whale Sea, under the protection of the shore-based air wing, to deal with the Oriental and Lighthouse nationalists.
Such an order made Admiral Kuznetsov a little confused.
“It seems that the Oriental people and the Lighthouse Country are indeed ready to do something to us. However, even if their strength is stronger than ours, we can’t avoid fighting! In that case, the island of Hokkaido and the Korean Peninsula will be targeted by the Orientals! Admiral Kuznetsov said.
“Your Excellency Commander, perhaps there are other plans in the country. But I have to admit that the Oriental people and the lighthouse country people are indeed menacing this time. Their fleet, combined, is much stronger than ours. The Chief of Staff of the Fleet, Rear Admiral Sergeyev, answered.
Admiral Kuznetsov nodded.
Although, he still had doubts in his heart. 617 However, as a soldier, he had no choice but to carry out orders.
On the orders of Admiral Kuznetsov, the Black Sea Fleet of the Imperial Russian Navy also began to prepare.
At the end of May 1841, the shore-based aviation of the Northern Fleet and the Baltic Fleet of the Russian Imperial Navy arrived in the Far East and temporarily joined the order of operations of the Pacific Fleet.
The arrival of six wings of shore-based aviation greatly strengthened the strength of the Pacific Fleet’s shore-based aviation.
Together with the Pacific Fleet’s own shore-based aviation, there are already up to a thousand aircraft.
If you add the fighters deployed by the Russian Imperial Air Force in the Far East, then the air power is undoubtedly more powerful.
This also gave Admiral Kuznetsov more confidence.
With the support of a large number of shore-based aircraft, even in the face of a large-scale attack by the Imperial Navy of the East Ocean and the Navy of the Lighthouse Country, the Pacific Fleet may not be unable to hold on.
At the very least, Admiral Kuznetsov believed that the Imperial Navy of the East and the Navy of the Lighthouse Nation wanted to defeat the Pacific Fleet of the Imperial Russian Navy. In other words, if you want to annihilate the Pacific Fleet of the Russian Imperial Navy, you must pay a very heavy price for it.
Even if they fight out, it will be enough to severely damage the Oriental people and the Navy of the Lighthouse Country.
Then, when the rest of the fleets of the Tsarist Imperial Navy arrived, they would be able to gain a greater advantage.
It can be said that Admiral Kuzzo has already prepared for the worst.
However, in early June, when the Russian Imperial Admiralty sent a detailed battle plan to the Pacific Fleet, Admiral Kuznetsov was even more stunned.
He had to admit that the Tsarist Imperial Navy was completely a big deal! It can be said that the main forces of the Imperial Russian Navy will all be concentrated in the Far Eastern Seas.
Then, under such circumstances, the threat of the Imperial Navy of the Eastern Ocean and the Navy of the Beacon Country to the Imperial Russian Navy is undoubtedly nothing.
Once this plan succeeds, the Russian Imperial Navy will crush the Imperial Navy of the East, severely damage the Beacon Navy and gain sea supremacy over the entire Far East. Under such circumstances, the Russian Empire was undoubtedly one step closer to the final victory in this great war.
This also made Admiral Kuznetsov determined to preserve his strength as much as possible before the arrival of the Northern Fleet and the Black Sea Fleet, and absolutely could not fight a decisive battle with the Oriental and Lighthouse people in advance, so as to pay greater losses in advance. In that case, it would undoubtedly be very uneconomical. (Read violent novels, just go to Feilu Fiction Network!) ）
On June 2, 1841, the main force of the Northern Fleet of the Imperial Russian Navy secretly left the Murmansk military port and began to sail east (ADDE) along the southern coastline of the Arctic Ocean.
Although it is now June, the Arctic Ocean is still icy and snowy, windy and snowy, and icebergs.
This made the Northern Fleet of the Russian Imperial Navy have to be careful to avoid those icebergs as much as possible when sailing.
Otherwise, once it hits, even a huge capital ship will not be able to eat and go.
Under such circumstances, the speed of the Northern Fleet naturally cannot be raised.
From Murmansk to the Far Eastern Seas, the range is up to tens of thousands of kilometers. In the case of slower fleet speeds, it takes more than a month to arrive.
Of course, this is also done for the sake of safety. Even if the speed is a little slower, as long as you can arrive safely, it is undoubtedly better.
The actions of the Northern Fleet of the Imperial Russian Navy were highly secret.
On the side of the anti-Russian alliance, it was simply not known that the Imperial Russian Navy had begun to act.
On June 8, the main force of the Black Sea Fleet of the Imperial Russian Navy also set out from the Mediterranean Sea and began to cross the Suez Canal, preparing to go to the Far East.
According to the plan, the Black Sea Fleet will go to the naval base in the Persian Gulf to rest and then embark on the voyage to the Far East.
After all, once the Persian Gulf was crossed, there were no military bases of the Imperial Russian Navy along the way. The range of more than 10,000 kilometers is still a huge test for the warships of the Black Sea Fleet.
In order to provide enough supplies to the fleet, the Black Sea Fleet brought more than a dozen supply ships this time to ensure that the food, fresh water, oil and ammunition needed by the fleet could be adequately guaranteed.
Compared to the fact that the actions of the Northern Fleet are under secrecy, the actions of the Black Sea Fleet cannot be kept secret.
Even if the Suez Canal is under the control of the Russian Empire, don’t forget that the southern part of the Great Food Peninsula, as well as the northeast corner of Africa, are also colonies of the Sun and other members of the anti-Russian alliance.
While the Black Sea Fleet of the Imperial Russian Navy was still sailing on the Red Sea, this caution was already known to the countries of the anti-Russian allies.
Especially the Oriental and Lighthouse people were even more shocked.
Originally, they used the Pacific Fleet of the Imperial Navy of the Eastern Ocean Empire and the Navy of the Beacon Country to deal with the Pacific Fleet of the Imperial Russian Navy, which absolutely had an absolute advantage and was stable.
But now, once the Black Sea Fleet of the Russian Imperial Navy arrives in the Far East. Then, the balance of power between the two sides will change dramatically, and they will no longer have an advantage. This will undoubtedly add a lot of variables to the next big war.
