Cam Ranh Bay united with Russia to declare war on Japan. The most angry people were the Japanese. Their hatred of Cam Ranh Bay was unforgettable. If it hadn't been for the damn Cam Ranh Bay trouble, Russia would have been defeated long ago. In the past two years, the Japanese have recuperated their efforts, rebuilt their navy, and added six more divisions to their army. I thought that with the increased strength, I would have an advantage when facing Russia, but damn Cam Ranh Bay intervened again at this time.
The Japanese government protested to China. After Yuan Shikai from Beiyang received the Japanese envoy, he strictly ordered Chen Baxian not to act arbitrarily. Of course, this is just a superficial job. Lao Yuan gave the Japanese face, but secretly sent a message to Mr. Chen so that Mr. Chen could do things easily. Finally, Lao Yuan told the Japanese that Cam Ranh Bay was not within his jurisdiction and had no power to influence Chen Baxian's decision.
Yuan Shikai¡¯s approach made Chen Hao quite pleased, and at the same time it also added a lot of impression points to Lao Yuan, making public opinion of him much better. The domestic revolutionary party fought vigorously. Master Chen immediately transported four army divisions to Cam Ranh Bay after declaring war on Japan. At the same time, the Cam Ranh Bay Navy is also actively preparing for war and is ready to go to the Yellow Sea to join forces with the Russian fleet at any time.
The revolutionary party and the Beiyang government are fighting for power, but Mr. Chen is resisting the barbarians, and his level is suddenly much higher. Thanks to Wang Ying and other newspapers and periodicals' tireless praise, Mr. Chen's reputation reached 98 points, surpassing Sun Yat-sen and Yuan Shikai. With such a high reputation, there is no problem for him to ascend the throne when the conditions are right.
In addition to the overwhelming praise for Mr. Chen in the game, the forum is also very lively. A large number of players signed up to participate in the war. Chen Hao posted a post on the forum, saying that all players are willing to play Japan. Anyone can sign up to go to Korea to participate in the war. He has reached an agreement with Kuropatkin, the commander of the Russian Far East, that Chinese aliens will participate in combat missions against Japan, and all Russian officers will treat them equally like Russian aliens.
The Cam Ranh Bay naval advance fleet set off, consisting of two dreadnoughts, four Invincible-class battlecruisers and twelve troop transports. The advance fleet is responsible for escorting the four army divisions to fight in Korea. The main fleet will sail to Luda, join the main force of the Russian Pacific Fleet and jointly cut off the Japanese sea lines of communication.
After the war was declared against Japan in Cam Ranh Bay, the Japanese troops stationed in Taiwan were very nervous and strengthened the defense of major ports. After the signing of the Treaty of Shimonoseki in 1895. Taiwan became a colony of Japan. The Japanese plundered all kinds of resources, causing the local people to resist bravely. The Japanese base camp believes that Taiwan is more attractive to Cam Ranh Bay than North Korea in terms of geographical location and strategic significance. Cam Ranh Bay may attack Taiwan first after joining forces with Russia.
The Japanese base camp strictly ordered the troops stationed in Taiwan to defend to the death. If a landing operation is launched at Cam Ranh Bay, they must persist for more than ten days no matter what. At the same time, the base camp is considering recruiting two more garrison divisions in Japan. Two divisions were sent to support Taiwan, but intelligence collected by spies caused the Japanese to abandon this plan.
The spy Yagyu Yuji lurking in Cam Ranh Bay said that the Chinese were indeed preparing to attack Taiwan and had formulated a combat plan, but they were strongly opposed by the Russian envoy. The Russians firmly said that Cam Ranh Bay did not have sincerity in cooperation. Russia fought a bloody battle with the Japanese on the Korean Peninsula, but Cam Ranh Bay took the opportunity to capture Taiwan. There is absolutely no such truth.
In the end, the Cam Ranh Bay side had to compromise and stated that they would go all out to land in North Korea to cooperate with the Russians and attack Taiwan after the war. Yagyu Yuuji is very capable. He has obtained all the information about Cam Ranh Bay's negotiations with Russia, and this information is all true. It is precisely because of this valuable information. The Japanese base camp canceled its plan to increase troops in Taiwan.
In Toulon Port, Vietnam, Wu Peifu sat in the temporary war room. Talking with Chen Shaokuan. He opened a battle plan and put it on the table. After reading the battle plan, Chen Shaokuan gave a thumbs up and said: "Wonderful! Brother Wu has arranged it so well. It is inevitable that the Japanese will not be fooled. They can probably fight." It¡¯s settled.¡±
Wu Peifu shook his head and said: "This combat plan is not my fault, it is mainly made by the commander-in-chief and chief of staff. I am also the executor like you."
Item name: S-level combat plan
Item Type: Strategic Item
Item attributes: After the general carries this item, the strategic analysis attribute will be +6. If the general implements tactics strictly according to this item, the tactical success rate will be 80%.
Wu Peifu is the number one hero under Chen Hao. Chen Hao originally asked him to serve as the commander-in-chief of the army and Cai E as the chief of general staff, but Wu Peifu preferred to lead the troops. After learning that war with Japan was about to begin, Wu Peifu took the initiative to resign as Army Chief and asked Ying to serve as Commander-in-Chief of the War against Japan.
Jiang Bailili¡¯s strategic analysis attributes are top-notch and he is more suitable to serve as Army Chief than Wu Peifu, so Chen Hao agreed to Wu Peifu¡¯s request. In the game, after the player appoints the commander-in-chief and chief of general staff, the forces to which they belong will carry out large-scale operations.At this time, the two senior military officials can provide strategic guidance and generate some special items. The S-class combat plan in Wu Peifu's hand is the result of the efforts of Jiang Baili and Cai E.
Because the two famous generals cooperated for the first time, the system set the combat plan to S level for the first time, increasing the strategic analysis by 6 points and increasing the possibility of realizing the combat plan to 80%. The information Yuji Aoki found was indeed true, but that was because Cam Ranh Bay deceived its allies as well. Just like when playing basketball, clever fake moves not only deceive the opponent, but sometimes also deceive the teammates. Such an action may cause misunderstandings among teammates and lead to mistakes, but it can 100% deceive the opponent.
The Cam Ranh Bay advance team dispatched twelve large troop transport ships, but there was only one NPC division on board, and most of them were empty ships. Another three NPC divisions secretly headed to Toulon Port in Vietnam, and there was also a division of player troops. They will be unified under the command of Wu Peifu and land from northern Taiwan with the cooperation of the Vietnamese fleet.
That¡¯s right! In order to completely paralyze the Japanese, Chen Hao did not plan to use the Cam Ranh Bay fleet and the Chinese Navy to cooperate with the army, but instead let Ruan Zhiwen's warships serve as the main force. Ruan Zhiwen has a large number of cruisers and destroyers under his command, as well as two battle cruisers. Although such a force is not powerful in a decisive battle at sea, it is enough to cooperate with the army landing.
The Japanese base camp was very cautious. Even if they believed Yuji Aoki¡¯s information, they did not relax their vigilance. It was not until the main fleet of Cam Ranh Bay converged with the Chinese fleet commanded by Sa Zhenbing in the South China Sea to form a joint fleet headed for North Korea that the Japanese completely believed that the Cam Ranh Bay troops would go to North Korea to cooperate in operations, rather than wanting to attack Taiwan.
The route chosen by the Cam Ranh Bay fleet made the Japanese a little depressed. The fleet led by two super battleships was not far from the southern coast of Taiwan, which made the Japanese frightened. With such a huge fleet, even the main force of the Japanese navy may not be an opponent. If there are a sufficient number of marines on the Chinese warships to launch a landing operation, I am afraid that Taiwan will be in danger.
After confirming the route of the main navy fleet in Cam Ranh Bay, the Japanese base camp completed the telegram and ordered the garrison to move from north to south to prevent a sudden landing operation in the south of Cam Ranh Bay.
The Cam Ranh Bay fleet joined the Chinese fleet and headed for North Korea, attracting the attention of the world. At this moment, another fleet quietly set off. The traitor Ruan Zhiwen stood on the deck, unable to restrain his excitement. Although he was cooperating in the battle at Cam Ranh Bay this time, if he won, he would also gain huge reputation.
Ruan Zhiwen¡¯s naval commander attributes are very poor, but this time he is determined to take the title of commander-in-chief of the fleet in order to better build his reputation. Historically, Vietnam was also occupied by Japan. If Ruan Zhiwen declared war on Japan and cooperated with Cam Ranh Bay to defeat the Japanese, I believe his popularity in the country would be even greater.
Since the Chinese navy went to the South China Sea to cooperate with Cam Ranh Bay, the Japanese defense focus was difficult to shift, and the defense in the north was extremely lax. On April 3, 1913, the Chinese fleet approached the waters near Kaohsiung in southern Taiwan, and the Japanese garrison was ready. However, it was a false alarm. The Chinese fleet sailed to the east with no intention of attacking.
Just when the Japanese base camp was breathing a sigh of relief, a shocking event happened. On the afternoon of April 3, the puppet king Nguyen Chi Van of the tiny country of Vietnam publicly issued a telegram declaring war on Japan and announced that he would join the Cam Ranh Bay and Russian coalition forces. Less than ten minutes after the declaration of war, the fleet under Ruan Zhiwen appeared near Keelung Port. All warships parked on the sea and bombarded Keelung frantically.
In order to deal with the threat from the Chinese main fleet, the Japanese navy ships in Keelung Port have moved south, and half of the army stationed on the warships. Nowadays, the defense of Keelung Port is empty, with only one regiment garrisoned. Wu Peifu, the commander of the Cam Ranh Bay war against Japan, also appeared in Keelung at this time, commanding four divisions to launch a fierce attack.
No matter how imaginative the Japanese NPCs or players are, they never imagined that Vietnam would dare to declare war on Japan. What made them even more unexpected was that the Vietnamese player fleet was not weak at all and actually quietly transported a large number of Chinese troops from Toulon Port to Keelung. After receiving the report of the Vietnamese fleet attacking Keelung, Japanese Prime Minister Kitaro was silent for a long time and then uttered a few words: "Taiwan is over."
Katsura Taro is very aware of the current situation. The main fleet in Cam Ranh Bay is about to merge with the Russian Pacific Fleet. At that time, Japan has no maritime superiority. The route from Japan to Taiwan will be blocked, and Japan will be unable to send troops to support it. If the troops stationed in Taiwan can prevent the Chinese from landing, there is still a chance, but there is no need to have any illusions now.
The Chinese put on a good show, deceived everyone, and easily occupied northern Taiwan. So what if Japan increases its troops at that time? Even if the navy transports one or two divisions at all costs, the Chinese have a geographical advantage and they will definitely add more troops. What's worse is that the damn Vietnamese monkeys also have a lot of armies, and they may send armies to support the Chinese in the battle.
