In the face of the Japanese side's reversal of black and white, the public was excited, and the government also reacted immediately. President of the Republic of China Feng Delin held a press conference to strongly condemn Japan's practice of reversing black and white, and at the same time announced to the rest of the world that China is ready for war, and if Japan dares to take another step beyond the thunder pool, after all, it will be counterattacked by the Chinese National Defense Forces.

The Chinese government has continued its usual strength, never fearing war, and no matter how strong the enemy is, the Chinese defense forces have never flinched in the slightest. The launch of a series of movements of the Chinese National Defense Forces has once again raised tensions in the entire Far East.

The assertiveness of the Chinese government reached the West in an extreme period of time, and the Western countries were keenly aware that the contradictions between the two great powers in the East had reached an irreconcilable situation, and that the dispute could only be resolved by war. The British government immediately sent a telegram to Lieutenant General Rochette, commander of the British Dispatch Force in Vladivostok, asking him to join forces with France and the United States to reach an agreement with China as soon as possible, and to exchange China's dominance of Siberia for China's support for the coalition forces and the Russian government forces. British Prime Minister Lloyd George even more clearly declared that he could not interfere in China's rule in Siberia, but he would try his best to obtain the right to pass through the Trans-Siberian Railway through treaties. It is necessary to ensure that supplies from the Far East can be continuously transported to Eastern Europe, which can help the coalition forces to enter the Russian hinterland, arm the Russian government soldiers, and stop the development of the Soviet rebels in the east and west.

The relaxation of the British soon affected the French, who had inferior interests in Asia to the British, and basically everything was done after the British ass, and this time was no exception. The decision of the Anglo-French alliance also ultimately influenced the opinion of the rest of the West. The United States, while uneasy about the British's opinion, was unable to change the one-sided negotiations between the coalition forces and the Chinese. Without the obstacle of the Japanese, negotiations between Western countries and China were unprecedentedly smooth. The insistence of the Chinese side is guaranteed. So it was agreed to open the Trans-Siberian Railway and be responsible for ensuring the continuous smooth operation of the railway, while the Western countries abandoned the plan to garrison troops in Siberia and "entrusted" the stability of the entire Siberia to the squadron.

Soon, the Vladivostok Treaty, signed by China unilaterally and the Western coalition forces, was clearly stipulated. Russia returned all the territories it had seized to China, including 1.5 million square kilometers of land seized during the Manchu Qing Dynasty. Siberia is temporarily designated as a no-man's land and is under the trusteeship of the Republic of China.

This treaty almost explicitly divided Siberia from Russia. Although there was no explicit provision for the transfer of ownership to China, it also contributed to the fact that Russia lost its sovereignty over Siberia. Arguably. Through the cooperation of China's military toughness and Japan's tacit enemy, it succeeded in achieving the greatest interest in sending troops to Siberia. The successful annexation of Siberia is also considered by history to be the greatest achievement of the government of the Republic of China led by Feng Delin. And Feng Yong also went down in history because he personally led this strategy and successfully implemented it, becoming a Chinese national hero. Of course, in Feng Yong's magnificent life, the annexation of Siberia was just one of the bigger waves.

Negotiations between China and Western countries have made Japan completely unable to sit still. After stabilizing the Western countries, they can't wait to start provoking China. Soon, the clouds of war hung over the entire Far East.

Off the coast of Vladivostok. Shortly after the Chinese North Sea Fleet went to sea, the Japanese Navy was spotted in the sky. Rear Admiral Miao Qing, commander of the North Sea Fleet, sounded the war alarm as soon as possible. The entire White Sea Fleet immediately became nervous.

"Judge the number and type of enemy ships." Major General Miao Qing frowned, his face unusually solemn. Now the battleship Arthur, the reserve flagship of the North Sea Fleet, has not yet arrived, and it can be said that now is the time when the strength of the entire North Sea Fleet is the most empty. The old battleships left behind by Russia could not be the match for the main warships of the Japanese fleet at all. ...,"Report to the commander. Japan includes two battleships, which, judging by visual inspection, should be the Japanese Kongo-class battleships. Three heavy cruisers, four light cruisers, eight destroyers, and four supply ships. The main fleet judged to be the size of the Japanese detachment. "The observation sentry sent back a message.

"Detachment. Damn, the little devil really wants to take our North Sea Fleet, it's really unreasonable. Miao Qing's face was ugly. Japan dispatched two Kongo-class battleships, making it clear that it wanted to rely on the flexibility of Kongo-class battleships to bully the two old battleships of the North Sea Fleet. The entire North Sea Fleet, the two battleships that were the main force were old battleships equipped by Russia after the Russo-Japanese War. During the First World War, although the two battleships also made some modern modifications, the speed of sailing was really not flattering. In the present era when the speed of battleships is generally 244 knots, the two old battleships, Vladivostok and Siberia, can only reach speeds between 18 and 20 knots at the fastest. Such a speed is also a problem for the new battleships to escape. That's why the First World War. The reason why these two battleships did not go to the West to participate in the war. It's really far from being an opponent. "Commander, what should we do?" Vladivostok Captain Chen Dong asked.

"A warning telegram was sent to Japan. It was ordered to leave Chinese waters immediately, and if Japan turned a blind eye, it prepared for war. Miao Qing said in a deep voice.

"Contact Vladivostok immediately and report to the Deputy Commander-in-Chief where we are now. In the event of a war between our fleet and Japan, we will move towards Vladivostok, hoping that the deputy commander-in-chief will be able to dispatch aircraft to assist in the operation. Miao Qing thought for a while and said.

"Report to the commander, the Japanese side has turned a blind eye to our warnings, they are approaching quickly." The latest news came from the observation post.

"Order all ships to adjust to battle formation, and as soon as the Japanese fleet comes within range of our fleet, they will immediately fire warning shells. If the Japanese warship doesn't react, give me a firm sinking of him. Miao Qing said with an unusually solemn face. The current situation tells him that this stop may be inevitable. After both China and Japan have shown incomparable toughness, it is impossible for a navy the size of a Japanese detachment to travel to China's waters, and the most likely thing is that the Japanese top brass has already made up their minds to wage war against China. And the navy is only dispatching warships of the size of a sub-fleet, in addition to the sense of temptation, I am afraid that it also looks down on the tatters left by the Russian Pacific Fleet of the North Sea Fleet. It is clear that he is bullying people with strength.

Of course, Miao Qing is not unconfident. In the real war, even if the North Sea Fleet is defeated, it is not without resistance. Now the two old battleships of the North Sea Fleet, which are the main force, have a tonnage of less than 20,000 tons, and their speed is slow, but the armor is still thick, and the modern heavy guns that have been modified on board are not vegetarians. In addition to the battleships, which can be worthy of the First World War, the North Sea Fleet also has three battle cruisers, two of which are old, both of which were equipped after the Russo-Japanese War, and the remaining latest one is the latest model purchased by Russia from Britain five years ago, and it is a new warship that Britain aided Russia in order to fight against Germany, with the purpose of strengthening the strength of the Russian Black Sea Fleet, but in the end Russia dropped it to the Far East. Blind the calculations of the British. This strategic cruiser, which has never fallen behind, is also the sharpest blade of the North Sea Fleet at present. Three heavy cruisers, two of which were produced and installed by Russia three years ago. Although it is not considered the world's advanced class, it can barely be compared with the Japanese heavy cruisers. As for the other one that was equipped more than ten years ago, it may have been an advanced warship when it was first equipped, but now it is also facing a complete obsolescence, and it does not play a very big role in a real naval battle. After all, the First World War was a time of great evolution of the world's naval warships, and the emergence of super dreadnoughts made heavy cruisers also reduced to a supporting role, and in the face of real super battleships, heavy cruisers were very powerless. In addition, the North Sea Fleet also has 13 light cruisers, half of the old and the new, and the combat effectiveness is not up or down. All that remains is seven destroyers, four of which are new models produced by the four major shipyards of the Republic of China. The remaining three are the three that were eliminated from the dozen or so destroyers of the original Tsarist Pacific Fleet, and the remaining three were barely usable. This can't be helped, destroyers often act as reconnaissance frigates for battleships, and what is required is speed. With the battleship Arthur installed in the North Sea Fleet, there were only three destroyers that could meet the requirements of the Kirishima. Faced with this situation, the Chinese Navy had to remove one of the new destroyers that had just been launched from the four major shipyards to join the North Sea Fleet. to strengthen the mobility of the North Sea Fleet. At the same time, the Admiralty decided to renovate or sell the obsolete old warships, and those that could be used were also incorporated into the coastal fleet, and were no longer responsible for national defense.

In terms of the number of warships, the North Sea Fleet has the upper hand, but in terms of the quality of warships it is far behind. If there is a real war, the chances of victory on the part of the North Sea Fleet are slim. For these, the soldiers of the entire North Sea Fleet are clear. But after all, this is China's waters, and as a Chinese navy, even if the enemy invades its territorial waters, no matter how weak it is, it cannot hide and dare not look at it. From the moment the navy was founded, it regarded fleeing without a fight as the greatest shame, and the Chinese navy believed that even if it died in battle, it would never retreat from the search. The fact that the Beiyang Fleet was completely wiped out without fighting has always been a shame for the Chinese Navy. The newly formed modern Chinese navy, keeping in mind the shame, constantly spurs itself forward.

Boom ——!

The Siberian fired a warning shell as a Japanese destroyer came into range. The shells were far from the Japanese warships, but they were enough to attract the attention of Japan.

"Commander, the enemy's muzzle is fully open, and he should be fully prepared for war." The lookout post saw through the binoculars the enemy's hideous muzzles in full force.

"Order, the fleet maintains the formation of the battle, the enemy ships enter the firing range, and start all the firepower to attack."
