Tsarist Russia: Please Call Me Your Majesty The Tsar

Nothing can do more harm to a country than destroying its talent pool.

Etajima Naval Academy, for the Toyo Navy, is the cradle of their reserve talents. A large number of low-level military officers, even middle and senior military officers, and even generals, all came from this school.

The senior officials of the Eastern Army often graduated from here first, and then went to study in the Empire on which the sun never sets.

Once the Tsarist Russian Empire Navy destroys the Etajima Naval Academy, all the reserve talents being cultivated by the Toyo Navy will be eliminated. Well, one can imagine how much harm this will cause the Orientals.

It is not so easy for the Eastern Navy to re-develop again. Even, the threat they can pose to the Russian Empire will be very, very limited.

"Your Majesty, this is a wonderful idea. I will immediately send a telegram to the home fleet to let them act!" General Alexander said excitedly.

Mikhail nodded, although the students of Etajima Naval Academy are still very young and full of vigor. However, once they grow up, they will inevitably become enemies of the Tsarist Empire. Get rid of them before they graduate, in that case, it will be most beneficial to the Tsarist Empire.

From the standpoint of the Tsarist Russian Empire, and even the standpoint of his previous life, Mikhail did not feel the slightest sense of guilt after issuing this order.

Subsequently, the Secretary of the Navy, General Alexander, sent a ~ telegram to the home fleet.

After the local fleet received the telegram, it quickly began to deploy.

Etajima Naval Academy, founded in 1769 (add one hundred to the real time), is located on Etashima Island at the southern end of the Seto Inland Sea, across the sea from Kure Port Naval Base.

If the Tsarist Russian navy wanted to attack the Etajima Naval Academy, it had to enter the Seto Inland Sea first.

After the defeat of the Eastern Navy, in order to stop the Tsarist Russian Navy and prepare for the attack of the Tsarist Russian Navy, mines were also deployed in some important waterways. This point must be well-prepared for the job.

Lieutenant General Rozhestvinsky and Lieutenant General Carlos Ma have discussed this issue.

"The hydrographic situation in the Seto Inland Sea is complicated, and there are also mines deployed by the Japanese. Our large battleships, even heavy cruisers or armored cruisers, should not go deep into it, so as not to cause unnecessary losses!" Roger Jest Lieutenant General Winsky said.

Lieutenant General Carlos Ma nodded: "Near the Jiangtian Island Naval Academy, there is an oriental fort. Although it has been in disrepair for a long time, most of the coastal defense guns equipped are old. However, it can still pose a threat to our warships. It is a certain threat. In addition, in order to ensure that the naval academy can be completely destroyed, it is still necessary to ensure that large-caliber naval guns are involved. Even if the battleships are not deployed, at least one or two heavy cruisers are required. 210mm naval guns should be It is guaranteed that all the buildings of the Etajima Naval Academy will be destroyed."

Lieutenant General Rozhestwinski thought about it and adopted this suggestion.

Later, after their discussions, they decided to deploy two "Mosk-class" heavy cruisers, two "Rostov-class" light cruisers, and four A-class destroyers to form a raid fleet to be responsible for the implementation of this operation.

In order to ensure the suddenness of the operation, the raid fleet needs to enter the Bungo Channel between Kyushu Island and Shikoku Island at night. Then enter the southern end of the Seto Inland Sea and go straight to Eta Island. The entire voyage was more than 180 kilometers that day.

This makes the entire raid fleet need to maintain a speed of 20 knots throughout the journey. In this way, we will be able to reach Eta Island at night. Then after completing the attack on the Jiangtian Island Naval Academy, it will be safely withdrawn.

If starting at eight o'clock in the evening. Then, if there is no accident in the middle, you can successfully arrive at around 1 am the next day. When the time comes, the raid fleet will have one hour to destroy the Etajima Naval Academy. Then go back quickly. Of course, it would be great if the battle could be resolved within half an hour. In this case, the raid fleet will be able to return successfully.

Major General Nobergatov, the commander of the heavy cruiser formation, is fully responsible for commanding this operation.

September 25, 1804 at eight o'clock in the evening. The Tsarist Russian Navy raid fleet entered the Bungo Waterway.

At this moment, the sky has completely darkened. Visibility at sea is poor. The entire raid fleet was blacked out and radio silenced throughout. Therefore, the Orientals did not discover this fleet at all. In other words, the Orientals never thought that the Tsarist Russian Imperial Navy would do this. So that they have no defense at all.

0...asking for flowers...

On the heavy cruiser 'Mosk', the flagship of the raid fleet, Rear Admiral Nobergatov was concentrating and his expression was very dignified.

He is very clear that there can be no mistakes in this action. Otherwise, the Japanese would be prepared, and it would be impossible for them to launch another surprise attack on the Etajima Naval Academy.

Even if the Japanese do not have enough sea power to intercept them. But "No matter how bad the Japanese are, you can order all the students of the Etajima Naval Music School to evacuate!

In that case, even if the Tsarist Russian Navy destroyed the Etajima Naval Academy, it would not be able to deal with those naval cadets of the Orientals. The losses caused to the Eastern Navy will undoubtedly be much smaller.

Fortunately, the Tsarist Russian Navy's raid fleet was very lucky. Along the way, there was no danger and no Japanese mines were encountered.

At one o'clock in the morning on September 26, the raid fleet successfully arrived at the Etajima Naval Academy. The fleet broke the hull only five or six kilometers away from the Etajima Naval Academy.

"Order the ships to fire at the maximum rate of fire. After half an hour, evacuate immediately!" Major General Nobergatov ordered.

In order to avoid being besieged by the torpedo boats of the Orientals, Major General Nobotov hoped to resolve the battle within half an hour.

In terms of the firepower of two 'Mosk-class' heavy cruisers, two 'Rostov-class' light cruisers and four A-class destroyers, half an hour is enough to wipe out the Etajima Naval Academy.

When the time comes, one can imagine what will happen to the students of the Eastern Navy.

"Fire!"

Following the order of the gunner of the heavy cruiser "Mosk", three triple-mounted 210mm main guns with 50 times the caliber began to roar.

The remaining warships also started shelling immediately after.

For a moment, Yinhuang's shells slammed into the Jiangtian Island Naval Academy.

At this time, almost all the students of the Eastern Navy soldiers there were still asleep. .
