Open an aircraft carrier to fight against Japan

Before setting off, Lin Yuan gathered senior naval officials together and said to them: "Before attacking Petropavlovsk, I would like to talk about the geographical situation here. This military port is located on the Kamchatka Peninsula, 1330 kilometers away from Vladivostok. At the economic speed of our fleet of [-] knots, it only takes three days to arrive from Vladivostok."

"Ocean aspect: Although the latitude of this military port is higher than that of Vladivostok, due to the influence of the Japanese warm current, it can be navigated all year round, and our fleet can directly attack the port; land aspect: the side of this military port that is not close to the sea is surrounded by mountains. , transportation is very difficult, and until our time, our roads have not been built here, so the supplies of the Russian army here mainly rely on sea transportation.”

"After talking about the geographical situation, let's talk about the situation of the defenders. According to the account of our captured Russian army, the strength of this place is less than [-]. It is composed of hard labor exiled by the Tsarist Russian government, so the combat effectiveness is extremely poor and vulnerable, but no matter how poor the combat effectiveness is, they will still fight us, so we have to go to Vladivostok first, and bring our landing troops there.”

At this time, a staff officer said: "If we bring the landing troops there, I'm afraid we can't go together, because the speed of the ships used by the landing troops is too slow. If our warships want to form groups with them, we have to slow down the speed of the ships, so the fuel consumption will definitely increase." It's very high, so should the landing force go first and wait for us in the nearby waters."

Lin Yuan said: "I have also considered the situation you said, but this area is very close to Hokkaido, Japan, and Japan also has troops stationed here. If the little devil sees that our troop carrier is not protected by a warship, if we launch an attack, we will suffered a great loss.”

The staff officer nodded, and Lin Yuan continued: "Most of the residents here are engaged in fishing. As I said just now, the Japanese warm current passes through here. In addition to bringing here an ice-free port, it also brings delicious salmon here. And crabs! The economy here depends on salmon and crabs! Everyone can enjoy these delicacies by laying down here."

Everyone laughed, and Lin Yuan continued: "This military port is very important to us. It can form a line with our Vladivostok and Lushun and echo each other. Moreover, this military port faces the North Pacific Ocean and can control North America for us. Provide bases, everyone knows that the United States is the fastest-growing country in the world, and we will confront them sooner or later!"

Everyone nodded, and Lin Yuan said: "All that needs to be said has been said, let's set off." The fleet sailed away from Lushun, traveled south along the Korean Peninsula, turned north at the Tsushima Strait, and entered the Sea of ​​Japan. Gradually, the sea water changed from dry yellow to deep blue. After four days, the fleet sailed through the Soya Strait between Sakhalin Island and Hokkaido, Japan, and entered the Sea of ​​Okhotsk. Unlike the Sea of ​​Japan, there are no large islands here. The sea is directly connected to the Pacific Ocean, and the fleet has truly entered the blue ocean.

There were no ships on the route, so naturally there was no enemy threat, so Lin Yuan stood on the bridge, leaning on the guardrail and looking into the distance, suddenly saw a few small black spots flying in the distant sky, Lin Yuan looked at They thought to themselves: "What is that?" Soon the black spot became bigger, and it turned out to be three seagulls, which flew straight to the railing tens of meters away from Lin Yuan and landed on it.

Lin Yuan thought to himself: "It seems that these seagulls haven't found land, they must be exhausted." At this moment, they saw the seagulls fluttering up, and then the upper door of the bridge opened, and Shen Wanqing came out from inside , smiled at Lin Yuan: "What are you doing here?"

Lin Yuan asked back, "What about you? What are you doing here?"

Shen Wanqing said: "I feel bored, so I'll come out and have a look."

Lin Yuan smiled and said, "Feel bored? It seems that you are still in the first stage of sailing!"

Shen Wanqing asked: "What is the first stage of sailing?"

Lin Yuan smiled and said, "According to my many years of sailing experience, I divide sailing into three stages: boring, extremely boring, and boring to death. If you say you're boring, aren't you in the first stage?"

Shen Wanqing laughed and asked, "Is it that serious?"

Lin Yuan nodded exaggeratedly, then pointed to the sea and said, "Did you see it? It's all blue as far as you can see. This hue will not change in the next five days. If it is on the ocean, the sailing time will be longer. Are you saying that you are boring and not a rascal?"

Shen Wanqing pointed to the distance and said with a smile: "Why is it all blue? What did you see then?"

Lin Yuan looked in the direction she pointed, and saw a black line rising from the sky, like a black belt, Lin Yuan raised his eyebrows immediately, and said, "That's the smoke from the steamboat, it seems that there is no A ship, but a fleet! In order to avoid merchant ships, we deliberately did not choose the channel that merchant ships like to go, what is that fleet for?"

Lin Yuan went on to say: "Come on, let's go back to the command room, it might be the enemy's fleet!" After Lin Yuan finished speaking, he ran back to the command room, followed by Shen Wanqing, and Lin Yuan entered the command room immediately. Said: "Observation post, turn the telescope to the due east direction, and send the optical image to the command room."

The observation post is equipped with a large optical telescope. Hearing Lin Yuan's order, he turned immediately and pointed at the direction indicated by Lin Yuan. The telescope and the camera are connected together to directly take pictures of the target. Soon the picture appeared in Lin Yuan's command. On the screen in the living room, the staff officers saw the appearance of those ships and exclaimed: "What kind of ships are those? They are said to be merchant ships, but they have something like guns. They may be called warships, but they are too small."

At this moment, another batch of pictures was sent, this time the distance was closer, and everyone saw the sun flag flying on it clearly, and everyone exclaimed: "That is a Japanese ship!" A staff officer asked Lin Yuan: "What is the Japanese ship doing?"

Lin Yuan looked at the pictures and said, "Those boats seem to be here for fishing."

Shen Wanqing asked softly, "How do you know?"

Lin Yuan pointed to a corner of the picture and said: "This thing looks like a harpoon, and there is a large piece of hanging thing here, which seems to be the corpse of some kind of fish."

Shen Wanqing suddenly said: "In our time, I heard that the Japanese disregarded the opposition of the international community and used the guise of scientific research to kill endangered whales. These fleets are not whaling ships, right?"

Lin Yuan nodded and said, "It might be." Just as Lin Yuan finished speaking, he heard cheers from the deck outside, and then heard hurried footsteps, Lin Yuan hurried to the window to look down Going, I saw a lot of sailors standing on the deck below, they were all looking into the distance, cheering happily.

Lin Yuan thought to himself: "There is something in the distance that deserves their joy." Lin Yuan looked into the distance, and saw a large white bubble gradually appearing on the blue sea, as if jade shavings were scattered on the sapphire. , Immediately afterwards, bright white water jets rose into the sky one after another, and accompanied by the water jets, clear and pleasant whistling sounds came from the distant sea.

At this moment, a wave suddenly appeared on the sea surface, like a small mountain suddenly rising on the sea surface, and then the wave parted to the two sides, and a huge black and white monster soared into the sky, which turned out to be a 20-meter-long long whale.
