"How to make the Russian navy do its best to preserve its strength from this war and achieve a more decent outcome than Jiào will play a very important role in the future strategy of the wǒ, who need the Russians to contain the increasingly powerful German high seas fleet in the Baltic Sea, and who need the Russians to suppress the Turks in the Black Sea. Under these circumstances, it would be a mistake to sit idly by and watch future allies be annihilated by the Chinese navy. —Fisher Urgent.

When the commander of the British Far East Fleet sent Makanov's request to the Admiralty, the British government actually expressed great admiration for this plan to leave the Russian government alone. Fisher even considered Makanov to be a more suitable partner than the Russian government in purely naval terms. The British were actually very anxious about the repeated defeats of the Russian fleet. And now that the Supreme Commander of the Russian fleet has this meaning, then the British will naturally respond.

The core of this plan is two points, the first is to preserve the strength of the Russian navy, and the second is to get a decent ending, of course...... After the end of this war, the Dutch East Indies will basically be renamed the Chinese East Indies. The country of Holland is a piece of sackcloth at this time, and it should be thrown away. This is not a matter for the British. As for the second point of decency, Fisher believed that it was necessary to give the Russians at least one tactical victory. This is also convenient for Britain and France to adjust, or to let the Chinese Navy "retreat in the face of difficulties" ..........

This purpose is easy to say, but it is really difficult to do. At most, the Russian fleet will be able to fight the Chinese fleet again, and once the main force fights each other, there is almost no reason to win. The port of Batavia can no longer be used as a safe base. The entire Russian-Dutch fleet was in a state of stormy weather. Then the only ones who can save this fleet are Britain and France.

Of course. It would not be possible for Britain and France to send troops directly for the Russians. Now that the British are still planning to pull the Russians out of the war in the Far East, how can they jump into this quagmire? What a feud this has to make with the Huaxia Republic. Before the fall of the German Empire. The British really have no intention of doing anything with anyone else. can get together with the old enemy French, how can kě provoke a regional power for no reason? Therefore, after the two sides scrapped countless telegraph fees, the British and French could only agree at best to allow Russia to enter the ports of Britain and France in the Far East to "repair ships". And, in accordance with international practice, this period is a maximum of three days, otherwise disarmament must be observed. However, this is enough for Makanov, as long as he can run to the territory of Britain and France, it basically means that he has been chased by the Chinese fleet and has no way to escape. Of course, more importantly, the fleet is saved. Of course, there is absolutely no guān ......... to do so and "decent".

To be truly decent. It's up to the Russians to fight for it! So, Makanov decided to come and fight, and he belonged to the type of person who took the initiative to attack and leave after the fight. In this plan. Makanov decided to let Essen's fleet continue to take the lead. Take 4 warships to go around the Pearl River estuary and Hainan Island in China, and attack Guangzhou by the way, how to say it. Guangzhou is also one of the largest cities in southern China. If a few shots can be fired, not to mention the actual effect, at least it will be of extraordinary political significance. And after all, it's dozens of guns over 10 inches, at least the port facilities or something will be blown up enough. If the Russians had done so in the past, they should have extended into the city. But apparently now Makanov does not want to pull hatred, so at most he will only be able to get along with the near-shore zone.

This, of course, was only the first step in Makanov's plan, and after knocking on Guangzhou, Makanov's fleet would continue to knock it out. Of course, it is definitely not to continue north. In the north, it is not far from the Chinese fleet. Makanov was not so stupid, he went up and sent it directly. "Now the fast fleet of the Huaxia Fleet should be stationed in the port of Kaohsiung in Taipei. And 7 battleships of the main fleet should be in Shanghai. Shanghai has more complete repair facilities and docks, and the Ninghai-class will naturally be repaired there if it is seriously damaged, while the Longxing-class battleships with the largest displacement should also be there, so their fleet is actually divided into two parts. Makanov said to Essen. …………。

The fast fleet is closer to the battlefield, and the slow fleet is farther away from the battlefield than Jiào, if you get the news at the same time, and it is an emergency, the fast fleet of the Huaxia Navy is very capable of attacking alone, so it is great, although the opponent's speed is faster than Jiào and cannot be done, but even if you can only sink the opponent's capital ship, it is good for the Russian and Dutch navies that have been defeated repeatedly.

Therefore, Makanov decided to design a trap for the Chinese fleet in the South China Sea. The idea is actually the same as the idea of the second Chinese fleet to calculate the Russians. That is, the fast fleet lures the enemy deeper, and then the main fleet intercepts it from the rear. The idea is very good, but this time it is fighting off the coast of others, and there are also difficulties in coordination. After all, people's telegrams can be communicated by constantly forwarding, what should the Russians do? So although the plan was well made, Makanov did not have much hope that the whole battle would go according to plan. In short, to give people gǎn feeling is to take a handful and leave.

As for what to do after scooping a handful...... Makanov devised two schemes, the first of which was to run straight back to the Dutch East Indies. The second option was to disarm the French and British colonies until the end of the war. Although the second plan is a bit tragic, both people and boats can be saved. In fact, according to Makanov's original idea, he didn't plan to get the first set of plans at all, at this time he knew too well what the state of the Russian fleet was, if he went back, maybe it would be blocked directly, and Makanov estimated that even if only half of the warships in China were put into battle, after the war, the Russian-Dutch fleet would definitely be scarred. But Batavia had no spare supplies to repair these ships, especially the large-caliber guns were seriously missing! …。

After the plan is drawn up, it is time for the fleet to be adjusted. Along with the loss of armored cruisers was almost exhausted. Essen's fast fleet is actually dead in name, so why do you just go out with 3 capital ships? The outfits and patrols are all gone, and the frigates are even more simply dead. At this point, when the family encounters the Huaxia Fast Fleet, it is the rhythm of being killed directly. I don't even have a chance to run. Now they have 6 capital ships, 3 Longtai-class fast battleships, 2 Longxu-class, and one Scharnhorst. Even if it's a bait, this bait should be harder, don't let people eat it and transfer it smoothly, then it will be a big loss.

In terms of purebred high-speed warships, the Russian fleet is really gone, and as a result, Makanov thought about it, and Turán found that the new Danton and Voltaire had reached the speed limit of 2 knots! Although it is still not as good as a real fast battleship, it is better than the remaining 5 Borodino-class. Two standard dreadnoughts, although the Dandong has a pit layout, but the protection of the people is really in place! It's definitely better than a battle cruiser like Long Xu! In this way, even if you do, you won't collapse at the touch of a button.

The remaining 5 Borodino-class battleships were naturally under the personal command of Makanov. He will be in charge of cutting into the battlefield when necessary and being vigilant against the main Chinese fleet that can be felt at any time. However, this time, Makanov will definitely not take Zì himself for the safety of the Essen fleet. The Russians are very practical. In Makanov's opinion, 3 Russian dreadnoughts and 1 armored cruiser are certainly not as valuable as 5 capital ships of Zì. As for the other 2 Holland seven-provincial fast battleships? Jīng had Makanov put ......... in the garbage heap.

"Essen, remember. The most precious thing in your fleet is you, and I will not be at ease until the future Russian navy is in your hands. This was followed by the wǒ's warships. As for the Dutch, they are shields, and if necessary you can order the disbandment of the fleet, the two Dutch warships are the most powerful, and the Chinese fleet is very capable of chasing the Dutch and letting you go. Makanov emphasized. …。

Since the end of the Second Battle of the Java Sea, in fact, the Russian-Dutch alliance has come to an end, and the common interests of the two sides have almost non-existent, Makanov is thinking about how to keep the fleet as best he can, and the Dutch still want to rely on the Russians to block the southward movement of the Chinese fleet. At this time, Makanov already thought that this was an incapable thing, so he naturally would not work for the Dutch, and if necessary, it was not impossible to throw away his allies for the sake of himself. But there is definitely no shortage of such things!

At this point, Makanov's plan was finished...... But the whole "generator" plan is not over. Britain and France felt the need to put some pressure on China at this critical moment. After the end of this war, the Russian fleet naturally disappeared from the Pacific Ocean forever, but at the same time, Britain and France did not want China to cover the sky in the entire Far East! In their opinion, the Dutch East Indies still needed to be retained. The Russian occupation of Hokkaido was coming to an end, but it must be returned to Japan. And these two points are definitely difficult for Huaxia to loosen their mouths..........

What should I do if the other party doesn't let go? Then it can only be intimidated! At this point in the plan, there is some suspicion of playing with fire. The probability of misfire has been established. In order to ensure the strength of intimidation, in order to be able to "fully embody" the combat effectiveness of the British and French navies. The British and French governments urgently transferred capital ships from the Mediterranean to the Far East. And the person in command of this "Anglo-French combined fleet" is Jericho, who will command 5 British dreadnoughts and 2 French Danton-class battleships to the Far East. Even if the Russian fleet could only have half of the warships left, then the strength of Britain, France and Russia in the Far East would surpass that of the Huaxia Navy, which had been fighting for more than half a year, would not be able to fight again.

Of course, Jericho didn't get the "hands-on" authorization. Even if the Huaxia Navy is unable to attack, it is still possible to cooperate with the defense of various fortresses. If this is a real fight, it will not end well. Therefore, in the instructions given to Jericho, under no circumstances should the enemy's shells hit the British ship and never return fire. For this purpose, a special order was added, that is, all battleships must not have guns and projectile packs in their gun emplacements. In short, the British and French governments wanted to use this situation to oppress the Chinese navy. Because they believe that no matter how ruthless the Huaxia Navy is, it will not directly ......... with the three countries.
