In 1915, it not only represented the development of the European war towards a deeper and more tragic situation, but also represented the intensification of the Asian war, not only from the Middle East war at the beginning of the year, and then to the current Russia, China and Siberia scramble, the core of the whole world, on the Eurasian continent, from the east to the west, the war clouds were thick, the whole world, the countries after the completion of industrialization, were involved in the whole war, and more than 70% of the world's population and industry also entered the field of war.

The Northern Fleet entered the Tsushima Strait and was about to approach Vladivostok, and the navy was in action, and the huge Northern Fleet had been dispatched to attack Vladivostok from the sea, and the army was also preparing, and the navy could decide the outcome of a war, but in order to get the fruits of victory in the war, the army must be dispatched.

You don't see more than 10 years ago, during the Boer War, the British Empire had the most powerful warships in the world, and it could easily increase troops and supplies to South Africa, but the army's lack of strength almost made the British Empire almost kneel.

In the current war situation, the strength of Russia's Pacific Fleet is almost non-existent, and if it were replaced by China's fleet, which six or seven years ago, it could be said that it threatened the service of the capital ships, and perhaps it could, and meet the Northern Fleet, which has 6 capital ships, more than 20 heavy cruisers, as well as a large number of light cruisers and destroyers, and even ocean-going submarines, which is not a grade at all, and a naval battle will break out. But the scale is definitely not small, with China's investigation of Vladivostok. Vladivostok's offshore land batteries were huge enough to destroy this. It only destroyed the defense of Vladivostok, at most the part of the sea that he faced was completely destroyed.

Vladivostok, as the location of the Russian Far East Command, is not only the core of the Pacific Fleet, but also the core of the army. With a well-developed land defense, there are very few naval guns that can reach it.

For the sake of safety, it is impossible for naval ships to enter the dangerous area of 8 kilometers, because no matter how backward the Russian artillery is, it has a range of at least 8 kilometers, so the most extreme range does not exceed 10 kilometers, and it is 10 kilometers from the sea. Not even the perimeter of Vladivostok has been reached, let alone the defense line that is widely distributed on the perimeter, and this naval operation is only to break down the defense of Vladivostok facing the sea. Punch a crack in his perfect defensive circle, and when the army is in place in the future. There can be gaps to drill.

The northeast at this time, in order to attack Eastern Siberia this time. Take the entire area east of Chita, and a large number of army forces are also being assembled. In the past winter, in the northeast, in Xinjiang, in Mongolia a series of preparations have been made, and when spring comes, all the troops have been assembled on the Yalu River and the Heilongjiang River, and as soon as Russia moves, they will immediately attack, taking advantage of Russia's emptiness, to directly attack the Russian Far East, and strive to take down the huge land here all the way to the Arctic Ocean, which is an important goal of the General Staff, and also contains the ambition of the whole of China.

Land is the carrier of the population, although the land of Far East Siberia is extremely harsh, for Russia, the Far East is just a barren land, the cold center of the world, not suitable for human growth, they have more land, under the premise that there is no problem with resources, they will not put their eyes here.

Historically, the Soviet Union was the same, under the premise that Baku could provide huge oil, they would not look eastward, until Baku's reserves were nearing the end, in order to find more oil resources, this was the development of the second Baku and the third Baku, the Soviet Union and later Russia, inherited the historical legacy, in terms of resources, even the United States can not compare with them.

For Russia in this era, the Far East is still a barren land, if it were not for the bridgehead of the Yellow Russia plan, they would not even set their sights here, but for China, this is a treasure land, different from the northwest of China, the ecological community is abnormally weak, and 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, completely different from them, the alpine zone, except for the climate is particularly cold, there are not many problems in other aspects, it has its own flourishing animal and plant resources, the ecosystem is quite perfect, and even a little development is harmless, the fault tolerance rate of nature is very strong, not to mention that in order to ensure the environment of the whole China in the future, China cannot adopt a devastating development path, as long as it maintains a slightly more radical method than the northwest, it can maintain the stability of the natural environment under the premise of obtaining sufficient benefits.

Not to mention Lake Baikal, the world's largest freshwater lake, accounting for one-sixth of the world's freshwater surface runoff, it is said that the huge water system throughout Siberia, which is equivalent to the amount of water of countless Yangtze rivers every year, is injected into the Arctic Ocean in vain, which is a great waste.

It is a good choice to pump part of the water from the middle, or reduce the water injection from Lake Baikal to the Arctic Ocean, and only save this amount of water, which can have a great effect, or transfer it to deserts such as Mongolia and Xinjiang, which are short of water in the south, or use it as industrial water.

Water is the source of life, where there is water, there are traces of life, from ancient times to the present day, most of the major cities, are built next to water, there are one or several major rivers, millions of square kilometers of land, under the premise of ensuring the environment, even 5% of animal and plant resources, is also a huge wealth, not to mention active transformation and artificial breeding, in the eyes of Russia, this is a big burden, barren land, but for the Chinese who are good at creating and producing, this is an absolute treasure, Even if there are 30 people per square kilometer, the entire East Siberia, more than 3 million square kilometers of land, is enough to accommodate nearly 100 million people, which is how important it is for China in the future.

The cold can not stop the diligence of the Chinese, the sooner you get him, the sooner you can create enough value, for such a land, there is no problem with how many troops to invest, at present, the Siberian region, with more than 2 million troops, part of which is the army of the original Russian Far Eastern Military District, and part of it, after China occupied Chita, organized for self-help, to deal with such a huge army, and do a good job of occupation and protection, it is absolutely impossible to mobilize fewer troops, The first-line troops in the northwest have prepared 1.5 million troops, as well as a large number of second-line troops, which will undertake the next war against Eastern Siberia, and strive to incorporate the entire of East Siberia into Chinese territory in 1915 and 1916 at the latest.

The navy is always the first wave, when the fleet led by Cheng Biguang, after a smooth breakthrough of the Tsushima Strait, after determining that the Japanese side will not move, directly set sail north, towards Vladivostok quickly broke through, probably on April 7, 1915 arrived near Vladivostok, after a short supply operation, the war started on April 9, 1915.

At this time, when the troops of the Russian Far Eastern Military District were still thinking about how to conquer Chita, the huge warships of the Northern Fleet suddenly appeared in the open sea of Vladivostok. Vladivostok has been operated by Russia for many years, as a fortress and naval base, they are strong enough, and they did not panic because of the appearance of a large number of enemy warships, but the siren still sounded, and the whole Vladivostok boiled.

To be honest, after entering the 20th century, Vladivostok was really troubled in the Russian sequence, during the Russo-Japanese War in 1906, he was captured, but now, he is still firmly in the hands of the Russians.

With the help of the height of the battery, the commander of the Russian Far Eastern Front and the commander of the Pacific Fleet were both observing the battleship group far away in the open sea in the battery.

The two commanders sighed in unison, especially the commander of the Russian Pacific Fleet, which had not recovered from the heavy damage of the Pacific Fleet in the Russo-Japanese War in 1906, but the recently rising China had capital ships.

Looking at a few huge warships, if the British Navy is there, you must be able to recognize that this Scheer's fleet is basically the same, but Scheer's fleet is obviously in Europe,

Although Russia doesn't know, but such a sudden appearance here, the huge battleship, at a glance it seems to be a cutting-edge capital ship, they don't dare to let the fleet out of the port, compared to a few old and weak warships of the Pacific Fleet, they believe more in the roadbed battery, with the help of the land-based battery, can counterattack them, and even achieve victory.

The Northern Fleet is always approaching, the Navy is attacking military ports, the probability of a surprise attack is extremely low, and it is not an airplane, it can be more than 500 kilometers per hour, the maximum speed of 25 knots, approaching from 20 nautical miles away, it takes an hour faster, and the unobstructed sea, observers see 20 nautical miles, or even beyond, it is completely fine.

Six capital ships are the first to take the lead, surrounded by heavy and light cruisers, and as for the destroyers, they form a defensive circle with the submarines at a distance of 3 nautical miles, and even if it is impossible for the Pacific Fleet to dispatch and counterattack, it must do a good job of protection, which is a good habit.

The Northern Fleet kept approaching, almost 12 nautical miles or so, before stopping, this is already the threatening range of artillery, in this battle, the main thing is to destroy land-based batteries, this distance is OK, both safe and efficient. (To be continued.) )
