Command room of the Dingyuan battleship.

"I order everyone to prepare for battle. This time, it is very likely that the Japanese devils will be anxious and jumped over the wall. Don't think that the Japanese devils will tolerate us blindly. Human patience is limited. Once the fight starts, we must let the Japanese devils see our strength. It is not just a powerful fleet, but also a strong strength." General Chen Honglie said seriously. He knew that this time was not a small matter. Eight warships are deadly for any country in the world. If the Japanese really want to fight desperately, their local fleet can also bring considerable casualties to this fleet.

General Chen Honglie admired Mao Yuanshan's arrangement at this time. Everything was tied up. Then when Japan was transporting 60 million US dollars of compensation on board, it was already started to do this. Although the content of the negotiation was not leaked, General Chen Honglie participated in the negotiations throughout the process. Of course, the terms of the negotiations were very clear. Both sides promised not to engage in war in a short period of time, but Japan had to compensate China 60 million US dollars and 50 million US dollars, which was discounted by 200 million taels of silver in the Treaty of Shimonoseki. Ten million US dollars was the military expenditure this time.

"Where has our $60 million reached now?" When the money was transported, the large airship was already waiting over the aircraft carrier. Batches of precious assets were transported onto the large airship and started to transport them back to China overnight. The advantage of large airships is that they can continue to fly at night. Japanese planes have now solved the technical problems of flying at night, but Japan's planes are not that far away, so it is the best time to start transporting these goods at night.

"Report to the chief, ten minutes ago, the Shanghai Defensive Fleet had already sent a report like us that this property had arrived at the Shanghai Central Bank." After hearing this news, General Chen Honglie smiled and touched his beard. This was really great. Now he has no worries and can fight the Japanese. In the original plan, there was no such thing as fighting with the Japanese. They came to Japan just to put pressure on Japan and blackmail the money. Their purpose of coming here was to get back the money sent out in history.

"Now we have no worries, everyone has cheered me up. Strictly speaking, this is the first time our Chinese Navy has engaged in a head-on battle with Japan on a large scale. According to the news we have obtained, the Japanese have two Nagamon-class battleships and two aircraft carriers in their homeland. Although their overall strength is not as good as us, this is the Japanese's homeland. They still have more than a thousand combat aircraft, and there are countless small combat ships. If the Japanese really fight with us, we have to fight and retreat and give full play to our maneuverability. We cannot go with Japan here. The devils fight hard, and this will consume no advantage for us." General Chen Honglie knew very well how they should fight now. If they fight hard with the Japanese devils, they would be frightened by the Japanese devils. No matter how powerful this fleet is, the fleet will not be able to compete with the entire Japan in the end. The fleet will suffer heavy losses at that time. But if the fleet retreats to the sea, the Japanese devils will pursue them. During the pursuit, they can speed up and rush to the coast of Japan, and the coast of Japan will become a sea of ​​fire.

According to the principle of guerrilla warfare, you will never fight. There are many strategic goals in the coastal areas of Japan. If you sail to the coastal areas of Japan, just one shot may make the Japanese devils feel distressed. Japan's heavy industry is all concentrated in the coastal areas. Besides, even their inland planes can fly to Japan very quickly. It is a country with a very narrow strategic depth. Like the British, no matter how hidden it is, as long as a large number of planes can be invested, all their strategic goals will be under the enemy's nose.

Naval guerrilla tactics are despised by the naval officers and soldiers of some major powers, but it is undeniable that such tactics can maximize their expertise and cause the greatest harm to some countries, especially countries like Japan. As long as they cause losses to them, it will not be so easy for them to supplement them.

Striking Japan's coastal industries is more effective than directly attacking the Japanese navy. If Japan's coastal industries suffer losses, it will be very difficult for them to replenish them. Some of these industrial facilities can be made by themselves, and some must be imported from foreign countries. Now industries around the world are serving their own wars. How can they have that time to help you Japanese? Besides, except for the Germans, no one from other countries is willing to help the Japanese, right?

Even if the Japanese Combined Fleet has performed more courageous combat efficiency, if their fleet is injured or sunk, it will be permanently lost, one less piece of fire, and no matter how powerful the Combined Fleet is, it will not be possible that it will never lose.

Now the Chinese fleet has retreated 20 nautical miles. If it continues to stay on the shore of Japan, it will be very unfavorable for the entire fleet. The distance of these 20 nautical miles is also a buffer distance. The Chinese fleet can leave if it wants to leave, because the initiative in doing this is in the hands of China, so the Japanese devils are still wondering about the departure of the Chinese fleet. Now they finally understand what is going on. It turns out that China has long been able to achieve battlefield communication, and it is battlefield communication of thousands of kilometers. How did these Chinese people achieve it? If Japan also has such a communication system, their combat effectiveness will be increased by at least 30%.

In fact, General Shen Honglie also saw that the Japanese devils were not very aggressive now, but they were not determined to fight. If they really wanted to start a war, Japanese planes would have appeared on General Shen Honglie and their heads, instead of the way they are now, with only a small fleet following them. This small fleet did not dare to get too close, for fear that the Chinese would eat it in one bite.
